Definite improvement in employ

Figures compiled under the super

Indianapolis shows a decline from

according to Mr.. Volz.
Mr.. Volz's message to the dele

that while the MIRA codes fell far

Democrat Nominee Defends

Defending the treatment of the

national administration, Sherman
Minton, Democratic nominee for the
United States senate, last night
tossed some "rinds" from an Irv-

AS guest speaker in the Fourth
precinct of the Eighteenth ward, Mr.
Minton addressed a crowd of 300
in Senator RobinSon's home pre-
cinct at an annual watermelon
supper.
There is nothing in this cam
paign to cause fear for the safety
of the Constitution" Mr.. Minton
declared, unless it is the danger
that the Constitution may be given
back to those who so badly admin

forgot that its projections hold sa-

The Democratic candidate con-

IF the forces of reaction-the old

dent Roosevelt does not receive all

Air-Rescue
Son of Minded
: Family Flies to Aid of
His Ill Sister.

AN "air- minded" son of an
N air minded" family came to
the rescue of one of it's members
yesterday and performed mis-
sion of mercy and necessity.
Mrs. William r. Hopkins, 3179
Graceland avenue, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. o. G. Herdrich, 1862
North Capitol avenue, was in
Louisville, KY, yesterday as a
member of the Hoosier Athletics
Club swimming team.
Just before entering a meet
with the Louisville Y. w. c. A,
Mrs. Hopkins was stricken with
appendicitis. She telephoned her
family of her plight.
In less than an hour her
brother, Franklin Herdrich, who
recently received his commission
as second lieutenant in the United
States army air corps reserve,
took off from Capitol airport in
a borrowed open plane,
with his mother, Mrs. Herdrich,
as passenger.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Hopkins had
been taken to the Louisville air.
port. When the plane landed,
she was placed in one of the cock
pits, propped in carefully with
pillows.
The trio returned to Indian
apolis, scarcely three hours after
Mrs. Herdrich learned of her
daughters condition. A successful
appendectomy was performed last
night at Methodist hospital.
Mrs. Hopkins was reported rest
ing easily this morning.

POLITICS AMONG
u. S. EMPLOYEES
Issues Sweeping Order for
Adherence to Civil
Service Laws.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON. Aug 18.-PreSi-
dent Roosevelt declared his inten-
/ ton today to purge the government
service of politics. He decreed a
general ban against political activity
by government employees. and
/ pledged himself to preserve and
strengthen the civil service merit
/ system.
This action came as the climax
of a long campaign, instituted sew
eral months ago, to divorce govern
ment and political business. which
has been only partially successful
The most notably exception to the
reform movement is Postmaster
| General James A. Farley, who con-
tinues to retain his political post as
chairman Of the Democratic ma
tional committee.
Nobody inquired specifically of the
Farley case when the President, at
a press conference, disclosed his de-
sire that the ban against politics in
some departments and government
agencies be extended to cover all.
In the past the President usually
smiles when this question is raised.
Instructions to Follow
Mr.. RooSevelt's attention was
called to the fact that some new
agencies, including the public works,
administration and the agricultural
adjustment administration, had not
issued specific orders against poll
teal activity by employees. Some of
these workers are not under civil
service.
The prohibition of political actiy-
ity should be made general, he said,
including those not IN the civil
service, and he added that he would
issue the necessary instructions.
The national federation of federal
employees recently has been COM
planning bitterly, in statements and
editorials, that the civil service sys-
tenn is being broken down by
"spoilsmen" who are trying to cap
ture civil service jobs to reward
political henchmen.
'SpOils' Charge Hurled
"On every front the spoilsmen are
pushing forward the federation
declared. The hordes of job-seek-
ers are being accommodated. Thou
sands are being placed or already
have been placed 1t is fallacious
to assume that the drive of the =
spoilSmen has been successful only
in the new federal agencies"
The campaign to separate gov
eminent business and politics began
several months ago when a few ma
tional committeeman who had set
up law Offices here became con-
spicious with their claims Of "pull"
and influence" with the admins
tration. They were doing a lucra-
tive business which approached the
proportions of a racket.
President Roosevelt quite bluntly
expressed his adherence of such
practices, and several designations
followed
Most sincere in carrying out the
orders has been Treasury Secretary
Henry A. Morgenthau. He has done
what appears to be rather thor
ough job of housekeeping. Numer-
Gus designations of national COM
mitteemen and collectors of inter-
nal revenue have occurred in his de-
partment.
