NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-The
bringing of all employees in Fed
eral emergency agencies into the
Civil Service by examination yes
terday was voted at the conclud-
ing session of the American
Federation of Government EN-.
ployeS' convention here.
The organization previously
had voted increased salaries, eX-
tension of the merit system and
longer annual leave, and had
gone on record as unalterably
opposed to the use of pickets in
the settlement of grievances.
The federation decided to agi-
tate for an Executive order
authorizing the noncompetitive
examinations to employees ap-
pointed to the AAA, MIRA, FERA,
and other of the recently created
emergency departments of the
Government.
Action Opposed
Opponents of the action ar
gued that by requesting such
procedure, the federation was
"condoning a pernicious situa-
ton - the appointment to the
Government service without re-
gard to Civil Service"
After voting to relieve the
national secretary-treasurer of
the organization of the financial
duties of the office and ruling to
create the office of treasurer,
the convention elected Cecil E.
Custer. of the Public Buildings
and Public Parks Lodge, to the
new national office. He defeated
Charles Ridgeway, also of Wash
ington.
Reallocation of the functions of
the Secretary-treasurer followed
heated discussion in which it
was revealed that there had been
a rift between International presi-
dent, E. Claude Babcock, and
the Secretary-treasurer, Miss Els
Their Penn. over the division of
authority in the disbursement of
funds.
Salaries Increased
However, after relieving Miss
Penn of half of her duties, the
convention voted her an increase
in1 her salary from $4,000 a year
to $4,000. Mr.. Babcack also was
voted an increase from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Action by the convention in its
concluding hours included ad-
vocacy of unemployment insur-
ance for Government workers
and protection against the "kick-
back racket"
The federation also voted hon
orary life membership to Attor-
neys L. Harold Sotheron, John
Finnerty, Telford Taylor and

1t is this one-way rule for We
hicular traffic and two-way for
street cars that further confuses
the motorist not familiar with the
section. This confusion, in fact,
has resulted in many small motor

not caused an outstanding loss of
life or property, have resulted in
much avoidable damage to auto

That the problem of widening

George Arliss has the devil of

} The trouble with the Arliss
role, as I see it. is that he is a
downright old crank, whereas
they expect you to believe he has
a roguish gleam in his eye and
is just being mischievous in his
eccentric way. I put him down
as a hateful antique and 1 ven

 From next June on that will be familiar phrase to radio fans fin this section of the country. for it is the title of Waterbury's new broadcasting station. The complete account of the stations opening is carried elsewhere in today's Demo- crat.
 In chatting about the new sta- ton, it's director, Harold Thomas assured us that local talent would be given every opportunity to prove itself before the mike. There'll be network programs as well, but it will be Waterpury's own station and local activities will be empha- sized.
 WATR will not be any fly-by- night affair. With MT Thomas it's purely a business venture and he looks at it in that light, so you can be assured that the station will be here to stay.
 Construction of WATR's trans hitter will begin within the next few weeks, and the station will send out its first program in June.
