SPEEDP.O, BILL,
NJ M'LEOD URGES

Representative Clarence J. Nc
Leod R), Michigan, today re-
qaested the House Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads for
an early hearing on his bill which
provides for the complete divorce
OF politics from the Post Office
Department.
Under terms of the Mcleod bill
introduced in the House January
5, all positions in the postal service
would be subject to Civil Service
laws aand the Postmaster General
would be appointed for a 15-year
term by the President, subject to
confirmation by the Senate.
The Postmaster General would
also be prohibited from holding
political office while in the en-
ploy of the Government.
Mr.. Mcleod today pointed out
that since introduction of his bill
similar measures have been
brought before the House, but
none provide for the thorough
eradication Of politics as his
measure. He said:
Adoption of such legislation
would create a permanent NOR
ale-building influence by afford
ing every opportunity for a real
career to every worker in the
postal service, who, by merit and
efficiency, would be able to rise
from the smallest position in
The service to that of assistant
Postmaster General"

restaurant the other evening
when a mother and her little
boy came in. One could readily
see the child was exhausted.
Perspiration stood out on his
face and it was evident that the
atmosphere or the clothing did
not cause the condition. He
was too tired to feed himself.
SO please permit me to urge
all young mothers who do not
have everything their heart de.
sires to make a sacrifice for
their children that they may
grow up to be strong and
healthy. F. H. w.

City Could Support
SubLOays

To the Editor Of The Times:
In your paper and others i've
seen a great deal of comment
on the proposed subway, which
I believe is a big desire of Will
liam A. Roberts, the Peoples
Counsel.
In regard to this proposition
I would like to point out that
Washington is not really so
much smaller in area than New
York proper. The principal
difference between the two cities
is in mass Of population.
A line from Fourteenth and
F to Takoma would not be much
shorter than the line covered by
the Bronx-Manhattan Express.
