STARNES BACKS
LEAVE BILLS
IN SPEECH
By ]. EARLE MOSER

PROMPT passage OF the Ram.
speck sick and annual leave bills
has been asked by Representa-
tive Joseph Starnes CD, OF Ala.
bama, member Of the House civil
Service Committee.
Speaking over WJSV yesterday
under auspices of the A. F. G. E.
the Representative discussed cur.
rent Civil Service legislation in
general, but dwelt principally on
the leave situation. Pointing out
that annual leave restrictions
were a product of the economy
program that now are no longer
necessary, he said:
Everyone feels that the
United States Is now well on
the road to recovery, and this
is the time to restore 80 days
annual leave to the faithful
Government employees who have
worked so efficiently and well
during the economy regime"
Representative Starnes also
spoke for the merit system in
Federal work, but added that
blame should not be attached to
either of the major political par
ties for occasional lapses into
patronage, which he said are the
result of a century of political
custom.
About 10000 postal workers
and 10000 Government employees
will be relieved Of a burden if the
McCarran bill, providing for Gov
eminent bonding of officials and
employees, passes Congress. Work
ers who must handle money now
pay a wide range of premium
rates, from Is cents to $3.50 a
thousand, it was pointed out at
a hearing yesterday, nd some
workers pay as much as SOS
yearly in premiums from their
own pockets.
Opposition to the measure has
been expressed by j. F. T. O'Con.

because of the added expense to
the Government, but employee or.

yides good insurance against losses

grower Is sure that his seed Is not
contaminated. treatment should be
given to all wheat, oats, barley and
grain sorghum
Among the recommendations made
Is the use Of ethyl mercury phos-

All of which made Moody a hero.
He was elected governor and then re-
elected. In fact, his popularity lasted
until he. although Baptist and
thirty-second-degree Mason, decided to
support the nominee of the Houston
convention for President. This hap
pened to be al Smith, and Texas did
not take kindly to Smiths candidacy.
Nor to its popular governor supporting
him. This Is important Mt the moment
for several reasons. First, because
Moody knew he was running conn

friends at the Houston convention
that he did not think Smith would
have chance OF carrying Texas II

vote for Smith. but for Jesse Jones.
