today. william Mooney, the incum-
bent. who was appointed in 1923 by
President Harding, is not expected TO

by Representative Lamneck. Democ,a,,
OF Ohio. who has sought the assistance

has taken up the matter with the
White House. Several days ago h.

Executive Office to meet Marvin H.

Postmaster Mooney. looked on as
one OF the most efficient poStmasters
Washington has had in many years,
has served under Presidents HARDING,
Coolidge and Hoover, and has been
permitted by the Roosevelt admins
tration tc finish out his term.
DcmOcIdtS want JOD.
While he is highly regarded by the
Post Office Department and White
House, it is understood there is little
likelihood of his being given another
term, inasmuch as he has been rated
as a Republican. Political associates
OF the President are insistent that this
$4,000 job go to a Democrat There
is reason to feel President Roosevelt
will be influenced by the demands.
Although Rowe's name is the first
to be mentioned as a candidate. it is
believed he will have plenty of rival
candidates before long
Mooney Here in 1893.
Postmaster Mooney, a native of
Steubenville. Ohio, came to Wash
ington in 1893 to start to work for
the Government as clerk in the
Post Office Department at 5000 a
year. He has remained here since,
working up through various grades
until he became chief clerk of the
Post Office Department during the
Wilson administration. He held this
post at the time President Harding
made him postmaster.
Rowe managed Representative Lam
neck's last campaign for reelection
to Congress. 1t has been pointed out
that Rowe, besides being an experienced
business man, had some post Office
experience a number of years ago
when he was postmaster in a small
town in Ohio before taking up his
residence in Columbus.

BY REX COLLIER.

Presented with impressive diplomas
making them the first alumni of the
Governments novel "anti-crime COL
lege," % police officers today departed
for as many cities with new-found
crime-detection knowledge in their
heads and hearty admiration for
the G-men in their hearts.
1.-THE G-men can have anything
I've got" declared Capt. James T.
Sheehan, chief Of the Boston police
departments Bureau Of Identification
and president of a newly organized
alumni" group, the Federal Bureau
Of Investigation Police Training School
Association.
II had heard a lot about the
F. B. I. agents before I came here"
Capt. Sheehan said in an interview,
"but I knew little about them or their
work personally. After three months
of intensive study with them, how
That goes for all % of us, too"
Presented by Hoover.
The diplomas were presented by
j. Edgar Hoover. director of the
F. B. l., in the presence of Hugh
Clegg. dean" Of the school, and other
officials. The brief ceremony was held
in one of the modern class rooms
where the police students have heard
daily lectures by Federal and univer-
sity specialists on crime detection and
criminal apprehension Attorney Gen.
eral Cummings addressed the class
and congratulated them on their work.
Describing the course as mo picnic"
the graduates told reporters they had
derived from the school huge fund
of chronological data obtainable no
place else in the world.
Capt. Sheehan predicted the knowl-
edge thus carried back to the respec-
tive police departments represented
will result in better coordination in
law enforcement work and wider un-
derstanding and cooperation between
local police and the G-men. This
should result in improved law enforce
ment throughout the Nation, he said.
Hoover declared the course had
been mutually beneficial, as the Fed
eral agents had learned much of value
concerning special problems Of the
local police.
'I wish I could blanket all of these
graduates into my own service" Hoo
yer said. "All Of them passed their
tests in good shape. When they go
back to their own departments they
will be able to serve as sort of liaison
officers between the police and the
F. B. I. They speak our language
and we speak theirs, and this makes
for better cooperation. With this
sort of relationship can see no need
whatever for a national police force

POLITICAL FUNDS
HELD BLACKJACK
G. O. P. Committee AssaiIs
Democratic Soliciting Of
U. S. Employees.

Describing the action as political
blackjack" the Republican National
Committee, in a statement yesterday,
assailed the local Democratic organi-
zation for soliciting campaign funds
from Government workers here.
mot content with a campaign fund
made up of large part of the S.
000,000,000 works and relief money,
New Dealers are seeking unlawful pas
lures for more money to perpetuate
New Deal spendthrifts in Office" the
statement said.
THAT they are at odds with the law
in their mad desire for campaign funds
evidently makes little difference.
"Brazen admission is made that
Federal employees are being impor-
tuned tv help wipe out the Democratic
National Committees deficit.
"The National Democratic Council
of the District of Columbia is back of
the move. Subterfuge evidently has
been resorted to in an effort to steer
clear Of violation of the corrupt prac-
tices act. This Is readily apparent in
that the council. aiding and abetting
the Democratic National Committee,
included in its appeals for funds from
Federal workers plea of the Farley
organization for subscriptions. It is
a political blackjack.
The statement charged also that
farmers who had received A. A. A.
allotment checks "had been urged to
donate to fund to propaganda con-
tinuance of the flow of A. A. A.
money" adding:
"An official Of the A. A. A. rushed
into print to deny this solicitation.
But that has been done before by
New Deal officials while they winked
their eye or turned the other way"
The campaign fund raising has
been conducted by the Finance Com
mittee of the council which has been
canvassing District residents, both
Government employees and otherwise.
Apparently there has been no
conflict with Civil Service law in
volved, no Government officers being
actively identified with the movement,
and the solicitation not being extended
into Federal ofnces.
