IS SPEEDED

NEW YORK, Dec. % G.N.S0.
Oblivious of threatened legal at
tacks, Mayor LaGuardia's COM
mittee of IA engineers today
speeded the way toward imme-
diate construction of a huge mu-
nicipal power plant.
Given an absolutely free hand
in drawing up plans on which
application will be made to the
Federal Government for funds
to carry out the project, the COM
mittee members were informed
they would not be limited on the
cost of building.
Mayor LaGuardia declares that
threatened legal obstacles were
of secondary Importance. Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Public Works
Administrator Ickes virtually have
given their endorsement to the
plan and he believes the "Power
Trust" will be unable to block
the project.
Asked directly whether the
municipal plant would sell to
private consumers, the Mayor
announced:

CUSTER SUIT

The advisory committee of the
American Federation of Govern,
ment Employees will meet tonight
to map plans for a battle against
the attempt to oust 900 employees
of the alcohol tax unit of the
Treasury Department and replace
them with men who took exam
nations for the post several
months ago.
E. Claude Babcock, president of
the federation, announced that
the organization will file a brief
in answer to the suit filed in Dis
trict Supreme Court by Samuel
William Cohen.
Mr.. Cohen, one of those who
passed the examination for the
alcohol division post, in his suit
demands the custer of the 900
old employees.
Justice Peyton Gordon signed an
order calling on Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau to show
cause January Is why such an
custer should not be ordered.
Secretary Morgenthau opposes
the move on the ground it would
disrupt the morale of the person
mel and cripple the force.

CIVIL SERVICE
P Ian WINS

Specific recommendations con-
tained in the annual report Of
the Civil Service Commission for
extension of civil service regula"
tions to cover all emergency
employees is the first step in the
Administration plan toward that
end, it appeared today.
It will be recalled that about
10 days ago The Times carried an
exclusive story predicting that
such a proposal would receive the
Endorsement of the AdniniStra-
ton and will be pushed through
Congress during the coming ses-
sion.
While the President is not ex-
pected to make definite recon.
mendations on the subject, it is
authoritatively understood that
he will let it be known that he is
friendly toward such a PROPOSE
ton when it is presented in Con-
gress, and arrangements are being
made to have bill for that pur-
pose introduced.
Should the President desire to
take the initiative in such move
ment, it is pointed out, he now
has the authority to issue an
executive order blanketing all Gov.
ernment employees into the service
not now under civil service.
However, according to those
close to the White House, the
Chief Executive prefers that Con-
greSs enact such a law. This
would not only take the burden
of such action off the shoulders of
the President, but would make the
action of a more secure nature,
since it would necessitate another
congressional act to undo what
the original law will bring about.
Just how early the proposition
will be pressed in Congress ap-
parently depends upon how soon
the President effects his reorgani.
zation of the various New Deal
agencies-a plan he is understood
to be working upon now.
Point to History
The belief that such civil service
blanketing legislation will be
enacted during the coming session
of Congress is given further credit
when it is pointed out by those
who have studied the history Of
the matter that in all admlnistra-
tions since the establishment of
the Civil Service Commission, the
third year is the one in which the
Presidents have taken steps to
place the non-civil service employees
under civil service.
The action would bring relief
to the 214,000 U. S. workers who
are outside of civil service. They
will feel more secure in their jobs,
and will not feel that they may
be ousted from their Places any
day by some political dealings.

Postmaster General Jim Farley
isn't the gladhander he was in the
days when he was selling Franklin
D. Roosevelt to the country.
Genial Jim and his Sunexecu-
tives held a holiday reception for

shaken the hand of their boss,
Mr.. Farley was whiting.
There was a time when Mr..
Farley could have shaken 1,151
hands as easily as he now orders
new issues of postage stamps. But
his grin faded and his greetings
were dull after he had pumped
600 or 700 hands.
Along in the nine hundreds
came a shy girl. She was so flus-
tered in the presence Of the Post
master General that she forgot to
wish him a Merry Christmas and
instead exclaimed:
Gee WhiZ. So you're Post

There is little likelihood that
Congress would pass bill to give
a 5000 per month pension to every

vision that the money be spent in
80 days.
It is virtually certain that Mr..

definite proportion of all radio
facilities for the educational and

country, which have something to
say to the people, on a non-profit

This fact was divu1ged at the

President Roosevelt this morning.
Judge Sykes said that there is

President Roosevelt did not rebuff
approaches by business for con-

Congress.
The door was open. Had the
ambassador of business been able
to wait one day after asking to
see the President there would
