CIVIL SERVICE BILL
Tests for 100000 New Deal
Workers Proposed by
New Yorker.

Legislative proposal for civil serv-
ice examinations of some 100000 New
Deal workers is made in a bill which
Representative Skovich Of New York,
who is in line to be the new chairman
Of the Civil Service Committee, has
ready for introduction. This ''prece-
dent-smashing omnibus measure as
he describes it, has been made nee
essary. he says, because nobody
knows why some job holders are here
or how they got in"
Representative Sirovich emphasizes
that mo injustice will be done to any
one. We simply feel that the best
qualified men should get the jobs on
the basis of mental and oral tests He
also made 1t clear that key men in
the emergency agencies would not
take the test" and explained that he
hoped to fix it SO that each member
Of Congress would not have to be an
errand boy for several hundred per-
sons who come daily hunting for jobs
Another bill sponsored by Represen-
tative Sirovich is for a Meditation
Board, on which employees should
choose their own representative, to
hear all complaints, including wages
and hours-and a Board of Appeals on
all such questions, including dismis-
sails.
He proposed to increase the annual
pensions of those in the professional
service from q maximum of $1,000 to
$1,000, with the workers themselves
paying the larger part of this amount
Redistribution of all employees SO as
to equalize salaries for the same or
similar work is also included in the
Sirovich bill. He would place all
postal workers under the civil service
and would give all employees the op-
ton Of retiring at IS, instead of TO-
The Sirovich bill is based on in
formation collected in questionnaire
Of Government employees conducted
by e. Claude Babcock, president of

This time Mr.. Roosevelt delayed the

news of the message to sink in thor

news of the budget gets out.
The White House knows its publicity.
Tax Check-up Pushed.
The Internal Revenue Bureau is on

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Message to Congress
Has Thoughts of Many
Men Included.
BY PAUL MALLON.

|THE studious backstage prepara-
ton OF the presidential mes
sage to Congress furnishes a
L good insight of how President
Roosevelt works
Two months ago his top advisers
began thinking about what he should
say. They wrote out suggested para
graphs and catch-phrases and pro-
posed methods Of approach for vari-
Gus subjects. The invisible Prof. Ray
mond Moley is supposed to have had
a large hand In this work. He writes
much better than the heavy-penned
cabinet officers and comes closer tn
giving Mr.. Roosevelt what he wants.
In fact. he is considered the No. l
man for speeches.
Many Parts Discarded.
Six weeks ago the President started
hashing and rehashing suggested
drafts. Before he left for his Thanks
giving vacation he had worked up
several. covering half a dozen sub
jects in few paragraphs each. Many
of these had to be discarded when he
came back and found that many of
the economies he had planned for the
budget were impossible. A week ago
he knew just about what he was go
ing to say on each subject and had
tentative diSjointed manuscript be-
fore him. He read to his experts in
various lines the brief portions of it
relating only to their subjects and
asked their judgment.
But, up to last Wednesday. he had
not yet pieced his message together
While some of the experts knew what
he intended to say on their particular
subjects. no one had read the whole
message.

undone. He pointed out that the
preparation of printing of Washing
toms works was only about half COM
pleted, under the direction of DR.. John
c. Fitzpatrick, and that certain cleri-
cal activities also should be continued.
Since all these obligations have been
incurred within fhe lifetime of the
commission, 1t would seem proper to
liquidate them after December 81. he
thought, and he desired to know If he
was authorized to continue to make
disbursements.

not make any obligation against t6

MEXICO PAYS $500, 900

Represents First Installment on

by Pablo Campos- Ortiz, charge daft
faires of the Mexican embassy, as
the first installment of Mexico's ap-

i. S. Asks COURT
TO RULE ON N. R. A.
Government Files Appeal in
Supreme Tribunal to Test
ConstitutionaIity.

A direct ruling on the constitution
ality of N. r. A. was asked of the
Supreme Court by the Government
today after q year and a half Of code
rule of industry.
The Justice Department fled with
the court an appeal from a decision
by Federal District Judge w. I. Grub
at Birmingham, Ala. declaring the in.
dustrial recovery act and the lumber
code invalid.
His decision said the recovery law
exceeded the constitutional powers Of
Congress and contained an unlawful
delegation of legislative power to the
President.
Amendment Prepared.
Meanwhile, a broad constitutional
amendment intended to protect most
of the New Deal legislation from at
tack on constitutional grounds, was
prepared by Senator Costigan, DEM
ocrat, of Colorado.
It would empower Congress to leg
islate on hours and conditions Of
labor, minimum wages and to regulate
industry and commerce to prevent
unfair methods and practices. It
seeks to limit court construction Of
the so-called due process" clauses of
the Constitution TO the procedure and
methods used, as distinguished from
the substance of legislation.
In his decision, Judge Grubb had
further sustained a contention that
the lumber code was an unlawful en-
croachment on State rights and con-
stituted taking property without due
process of Law.
Point at Issue.
In its appeal today. the Justice De-
partment asked the high court to pass
on the validity of section Of the act,
which provides for the punishment Of
Nlose who violate its provision in
transactions in or affecting interstate
or foreign commerce.
The case appeared involved diSrnis-
sal by Judge Grubb of an indictment
against William E. Belcher. q pro-
ducer of timber and manufacturer of
lumber, who was charged with violat-
ing the code for the lumber and timber
products industries. The indictment
charged Belcher had worked certain
employees longer than 40 hours q week
and had paid one employe wages be-
low the code minimum.
