CIVIL SERVICE PLAN
Would Extend Classification
to Emergency Agency
Employees.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Roosevelt is favorably in
clined toward that part of the annual
report of the United States Civil
Service Commission, which recon-
mended extending the civil service
classification ID employees of the vari-
GUS emergency agencies.
At least the President is partial
to the idea so far as it would apply
to those agencies, which at the pres
ent time appear more or less per-
manent.
The President expressed himself to
this extent AT his press conference
today. He said nothing definite had
is being 5tudied with view of adopt
ing an administration policy. He
added that his idea would be to have
civil service classification applied
gradually and he doubted if the num-
ber of emergency employees who would
be benefited would be large.
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks the employees
in agencies that are likely to be
permanent or in existence for a long
time are entitled to the same rights
and privileges as the other employees
in the regularly organized agencies of
the Government.
There is one thing certain, however
that there will be no blanket executive
order issued by the President, cover
ing the employees to be benefited in
this manner, as has been proposed.
His idea is to have the step taken
gradually, and as for the matter of
examinations, he indicated that he
would leave that to the Civil Service
Commission to decide.

HAMILTON. Ontario, December 26.
The splntered wreckage of Christ
mas excursion train was searched to-
day for additional victims as officials
OF the Canadian National Railways
opened an investigation of collision
last night which took at least Is lives.
More than score of persons were
injured, some critically, when the De-
troit-to-Toronto express tore into the
rear of the stationary excursion train
on a siding at Dundas, miles from
Hamilton.
Five women were among the man
gled victims of the disaster whose
bodies have been recovered but as
yet are unidentified. Additional deaths
were feared.
Open Switch Blamed.
Officials of the railway said the
cause of the accident apparently was
an open switch and promised an in
tensive inquiry.

the victims, all of whom apparently
were Canadians, were residents of
those two cities.
Two wooden cars at the rear of the
excursion train, which had been
switched onto siding because of a
hot box were crushed and many
passengers, screaming in agony, were
pinned for hours beneath the wreck
age.
The alertness and quick thinking of
Engineer B. Burrell of the speeding
train from Detroit, No. 16, was cred
tied with having averted an even
greater tragedy. Seeing no hope of
preventing the collision, Burrell or
dered his locomotive cut loose from
the coaches behind and prevented
them from telescoping.
In contract to the terrific crash
when the giant engine struck the
wooden coaches, there was only a
slight jar when the express cars rolled
up to the wreckage.

NEW PANEL UNDECIDED.
Betty Cow Returns to Take Part in
Hauptmann Trial.

BY the Associated Press.
FLEMINGTON, N. j., December 26.
The possibility that new jury panel
would be drawn for the trial of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann was in the fore
front today as the time for the trial
drew nearer
Lending added interest was the
return to America of Betty Cow, nurse
of the slain Lindbergh baby, whom
Hauptmann is charged with kidnapping
and killing, and the radio appeal of
Hauptmann's wife for the public to
withhold judgment of her husband.
Both State and defense prepared
to confer later today on whether a
request for new jury panel is war
ranted in view of the contents of a
pamphlet circulated among the pres
ent Hauptmann trial jury candidates
The pamphlet is said to have con-
tajned an account of a kidnapping
and trial which State prosecutors said
was the Lindbergh case, thinly veiled.
In this pamphlet, written by a Chi
cago woman lawyer, who said she did
it for her own amusement, the de-
ferdant is acquitted.
