JIMMY CASE
F|ZZLES OUT

Involved in a maze of legal
technicalities, the melodrama of
the State against La Fontaine
was scheduled to close today.
Despite the fervent desires Of
officials of Prince Georges county
to end the gambling activities of
the notorious Jimmy and his
cohorts, it developed today no
definite action will be taken
against the Maryland gambler,
for the present at least, because
of the lack Of legal authority.
States Attorney j. Alan Bowie
denied today he had prepared
warrants for the arrest of La Fon-
taine, while county police chief
]. j. Crowley stated he could not
make an arrest without proper
evidence which would hold up in
court.
1t appeared, therefore, that La
Fontaine will be enabled to pro-
ceed unmolested until some means
are devised whereby he can be ar
rested.
Police Chief Crowley explained
it would be necessary to entrap
the gambler in the act of break,
ing the law, but that otherwise
no arrest could be made.

MOVE To FREE
CLOSED BANKS
CASH PUSHED
Mcleod Bill Plans Drastic
Changes in Loan Policy
Followed by RFC

With the popular demand for
the liquidation of assets Of closed
banks becoming increasingly crys-
talized, and with the legislators
themselves we'll aware of the
immensity of closed bank deposits.
supporters of the Mcleod bank.
payoff bill today began to lay
the groundwork for the coming
session of Congress.
Representative Clarence j. Nc.
Leod (RO of Michigan. father of
bank bill which bears his name,
is preparing drastic changes in
the loan policy of the Recon
struction Finance Corporation to
closed banks.
Proposal Explained.
Under the present setup the
RFC is permitted to make
loans of this type. Under terms
of the Mcleod bill which will
be presented at the coming ses-
sion of ngreS the RFC
will be forced to take over all
assets of closed banks, paying
out cash to the depositors. The
RFC then would liquidate the
assets over a period of five to ten
years.
It is not known exactly how
much money is tied up in closed
banks throughout the country to-
day. In washington alone, how.
ever, more than $20,000,000 of
depositors' money is held in
closed banks.
If the Mcleod bill should pass
through both houses Of Con-
gress, this $2O,0O0.0OO would be
disbursed immediately and the
RFC, in place of the receivers,
would liquidate the assets.
Mr.. McLeon believes. under
his plan, the excessive cost of re-
ceiverships, which annually runs
into millions of dollars. would be
greatly reduced.
Tangible Results
It was Mr.. Mcleod who fought
so vigorously for the Steagall
amendment which passed the last
session Of Congress. Under terms
of this bill the RFC was per-
mitted to make loans to closed
banks on recovery basis and
not on the deprecated value of
the assets held by the defunct
institutions.
Washington saw tangible re-
suits of the workings of the
amendment with the recent pay.
ment of dividends to closed
banks depositors. These divi-
dends were made possible through
the liberalized loan policy of the
closed banks.

AHtOAA~SAU~-aAA ANO"S SSA SASO
President Doosevelt announced
today the Administration probably
will work out what he called "a
rule of reason" in calling on prop.
erty owners. municipalities, and
the like to bear part of the cost
of Federal public works projects
which directly benefit adjacent
properties.
Such charges, the President
pointed out, will be almost neg,
ligible. He cited as a typical ex-

acres of bottom land which prior

less for agricultural purposes.
In such cases, the President eX-
planned, it would be only fair that
those benefiting should bear a
portion of the cost.
Illustrating further. the Presi-
dent cited an instance in which
improved navigation on a river
would directly benefit towns on
its bank. The local cost element
here. in the Presidents opinion,
would probably be limited to di.
recting the towns paying for the
cost of new wharves and other
dock improvements.

WORKERS VOICE
COMPLAINTS
ON HOURS
N. FIFE. Sends QUESTIONABLE
To Learn Extent of
Extra LaborS

Working on the theory that the
Government is exacting consider.
able overtime work from it's en-
ployes, the National Federation of
Federal Employees today an
nounced a campaign for remedial
measures for the protection of
the entire Federal personnel.
The federation has undertaken
to determine from first-hand re.
ports by employees themselves the
exact conditions prevailing in the
Federal service with respect to
hours of work.
QUESTIONABLE Out
A QUESTIONABLE has been d.
rected to the $4,000 members Of
the organization, on which the
federation will base its drive for
administrative and legislative &C.
ton.
The questionnaire asks the
workers daily working hours,
whether they receive the benefit
of the Saturday half-holiday,
whether they work Sunday and,
if so, how long, and whether they
work overtime and, if so, how
long.
Complaints Pouring In
Complaints have been pouring
into the federation and have been
directed to the heads of Govern.
m ent departments concerning
overtime work, particularly in the
emergency units of the Federal
service.
With a patronage-seeking Con-
gresS convening in Washington
next week, Government employees
also are laying the groundwork
for an extensive campaign for the
protection of the merit system of
selecting the Government per-
sonnel.
Both organizations of Federal
employees. the National Fedora
ton of Federal EMPLOYEES and the
American Federation of Govern.
ment Employees, were preparing
to open the offensive as soon as
the new Congress comes to town
with its dozens of new Senators
and Representatives seeking re-
wards for the folks back home.
Plan Legislative Drive
In the legislative programs
for 1885, set up by both organi-
cations, the protection and eX.
tension of the merit system is
one of the most important aims.
Employees are anxious to extend
the civil service by covering into
the commission all positions in
the new Federal agencies, which
now are not included. In this, it
is understood President Roosevelt
is sympathetic, although the pa
tronage-seeking Congress may not
be.
Married Person Clause
Among the other features of
the merit system program is the
abolition of the married persons
clause" which prohibits employ
ment of both husband and wife
in the Government service.
The organizations of Govern
ment employees are also seeking
the abolition of the present ef-
ficiency rating system and sub
stitution of a fair and honest
system"
