With 26 days remaining of the

was based on the monthly average
of fatalities here, which is more

Civil Service Lodge Ayers
Alcohol Tax Employees
Were Treated Fairly

Charges that examinations given
900 employees of the alcohol tax
unit of the Treasury Department
were so unfair that they resulted
in dismissal of the workers were
today denied by the Civil Service
Commission branch of the Amer
ican Federation of Government
Employees.
The denial came in the form OF
a lengthy resolution, sent by the
union local to the White House,
the Secretary of the Treasury, all
members of Congress and to the
American Federation of Labor.
The 900 employees were recently
given competitive examinations,
upon the termination of appoint
ments. It was charged at the
time that these examinations,
which did not give credit for ex-
perience or service, were delib-
erate1y designed to bring about
the discharge of the workers.
In denying the charge, the
A. F.. G.. E. lodge went on record
as saying that similar examina-
tions for similar posts have been
in vogue since 1927. The resolu-
ton read:
"There is not the semblance
of truth in the charge that any
ratings have been modified or
changed"
The 900 employees are now work
ing without pay, hopeful that
their jobs can be put on a per-
manent basis when Congress con-
venes in January.

up an entirely new field for re-
search. AS a matter of fact, it is
measuring so accurately the hu-
man mind can't conceive of such
an infiniteSimal distance.
Mr.. Peters, who lives here IN
the 1900 block of Park Rd. N. w.,
came to Washington to work at
the Bureau of Standards % years
ago after graduating from Ripon
College and taking graduate work
at the University of Wisconsin.
He has remained here ever since.
Steel Gauges Expand
Fully cognizant of Prof. A. A.
Michelson's discovery in 1893 of
the exact number of light waves
which would pass through a
space of one meter, Mr.. Peters
three years ago began work on
the problem of using light waves
as units of measurement in every.
Cay use.
Industries had long been using
steel gauges for accurate" meas
urement but the gauges were
known to be inaccurate because
every time their temperature va
ried one degree Centigrade they
would expand or contract 100
thousandths of an inch.
Fused quartz varies only five
10 millionths of an inch, so fused
quartz is what Mr.. Peters gauges
are made of.
1t takes months to perfect one
of his gauges for they must have
ends not only absolutely parallel
but absolutely flat. Fused at
temperature of 1000 degrees Cent?
grade, the quartzeS must be hand
polished and aligned. a process
that would make even the proverb.
ial Job despair.
Ready for Celebration
When completed, though, the
crystals will make light wave
one-hundredth of an inch wide
look like a quarter-inch stripe.
Then all one needs remember is
that the number of wave lengths
multiplied by their known length
equals the measurement of the
gauge, plus a lot of supermathe-
maticS, of course.

ROOSEVELT HIGH
TYPICAL Of.
CROWD|NG
Newest School Forced to Rule
Out Many EIigibIes; Post
Graduates Barred

Enrolment at the new Roose-
velt High School has increased so
much in recent months that
all internal remedies for conges-
ton have been exhausted, school
officials said today.
The new high school, completed
in the fall of 1882, now has so
many restrictions on further en-
rollment that the only remedy for
future increases will be by addi-
tional construction, it was said.
Some Excluded
Built to accommodate 1900 stu
dents. the school now has an en-
rollment of 1887. At the time it
was opened for it's first semester
in September, 1882, there were
1,54O enrolled. This figure leaped
to LIT in the following year and
in the current school year, the en-
rollment is 337 beyond the build
ing's capacity.
Although the building is the
newest high school in the city, its
large excess enrolment has forced
the exclusion Of NONRESIDENT
students so as to keep the school
as free from congestion as posi-
BILE.
Also officials have refused ad
mission to postgraduate pupils be-
cause there is no room in the
Roosevelt classrooms. Their con-
tention is that they must give
preference to the undergraduates.
Jobless Go to School
There are hundreds of boys and
girls who, unable to find employ
ment, have turned to the schools
following their graduation from
high school, for further instruc-
ton but had to be turned away.
Sooner or later, school authorl-
ties point out, a new school will
have to be constructed somewhere
to the north of Roosevelt, either
in Petworth or Takoma Park, to
take care of the increasing NUM-
Der of children of high school age
in that area.

COL. PEAK 8
CHANCES
Committee Head Is Opposed
To Importing Outside
Man For Position

"I feel certain there are per-.
sons now resident in the Dis
trict component to handle the
job of Superintendent of Dis
trict Penal Institutions"
With this statement today, Sen
ator William H. King CD, Of
Utah, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, indirectly lent
his aid to the cause of Col. Will
liam Peak, superintendent of the
Lorton Reformatory, who is seek
ing the place as head of the local
penal institutions.
Senator King declined to name
any specific person as his choice
for the position, but emphatically
expressed his opposition to bring
ing anyone from the outside here
for the job.
Common Sense Needed
He said:
my present view is that
am opposed to the appointment
of a man from outside of the
District. What is needed Is
someone with good common
sense, and there's no doubt that
such a man can be found here"
He expressed these sentiments
to the District Commissioners in
conversation today, and it is
felt certain that the Senator's
views will have considerable bear
ing on the appointment.
At present the matter is pending
before the Board of Public Wei
fare, which is expected to make
it's recommendations to the Com
missioners within a few days.
Latest word is that the Welfare
Board is favorable to the appoint
ment of Joseph Sanford, superin-
tendent of the Chillicothe (Ohio)
Federal Prison.
Peaks Chance Better
However, the District Commits
sioners will have the final say in
the naming of the new superin"
tendent here, and since Senator
King has expressed himself as he
has to the Commissioners, it is
believed that Colonel Peaks
chances of being named are
frightened.
The Commissioners today told
Senator King that when the We'll
fare Board makes its recommends
tions the city heads will take the
Senator's views into consideration
before making the appointment.

Scientist Uses Light
Waves as Measures

Three years ago Chauncey G.

He knew that light rays would
bounce back and forth between
certain surfaces and he knew the
exact length of some thousand diff

Today he knows what few
scientists know anywhere else in

they are eagerly awaiting to hear
about, namely, how one can meas
ure accurately down to within
something like two ten millionths

AMPLE SP ACE
FOUND NEARBY
FOR CARS
Only $50 of the $500 Cars
Affected Would Have to Move
More Than 2 Blocks

Studies by the Traffic Bureau
and the Police Department reveal
that only $50 of the $500 cars
which will be affected by the pro-
posed parking ban on 58.3 miles
of Washington's boulevards will
not be able to find a parking space
within two blocks of the space
they now occupy, Commissioner
Melvin C. Hazen announced to-
day.
These statistics, Commissioner
Hazen said, will be presented to
representatives of civic and trade
bodies and the editors of the five
local newspapers at public hear
ing at 1920 o'clock Friday morn
ing.
Lots of Space Nearby
OF the total mileage to be con-
sidered in the ban, motorists park
ing in 87.5 per cent of the area
can find space within one block of
their present space and 80 per
cent can find space within two
blocks.
The remainder, Commissioner
Hazen pointed out, may have to
be nconvenienced so that traffic
will not be interfered with during
the winter months. He said:
"Motorists either will have to
stand for traffic conditions as
they will be in the winter months
during snow and storm, or they
will have to agree to move their
cars during this period.
ASKS CITIZENS VIEWS
II am opposed to placing any
hardship on motorists, and no
decision will be made until the
citizens are given chance to
present their views"
The Traffic Advisory Council
recommended the ban to facilitate
snow removal and passage of traf-
fic.
Commissioner Hazen pointed out
that the studies by the police and
bureau were made Independently,
and came within fractions of per-
centageS of being Identical.

SHORT OF CALORIES

To be sure the straw vote conducted
in the last state political campaign
was a laughable affair. 1t was started
by the Republicans to make it appear
that Mr. Nelson was a stronger can
didate than Mr.. Regain. the Demo-
cratic choice, but principally to try
and make out that Governor Olson
was IA loser.
There is only one vote that really
counts and that is the one cast on
general election day. There was no
straw in that affair, and the people
showed what they wanted. On the
subject of the straw vote the Lake
Wilson Pilot had the following to say:
There may have been a lot of up
sets in the recent election, but no
candidate got the drubbing that was
handed to the post card straw vote.
OF all the misleading ventures into
the political field this one took the
cake. Paraded as lily white. simon
pure effort it turned out to be a
boomerang In order to be fair, the
vote should have included every car
owner in the state and not the folks
who were fortunate enough to own the
shiny autoes."
