Copyright. Montauk Photo Co.

Hundreds of emergency en-
ployes seeking a permanent civil
service status, and thousands of
persons seeking government
career, are expected to apply for
the assistant statistical clerk ex-
animation, announced today by
the Civil Service Commission.
March 18 is the deadline for
applications for the examination.
The last statistical clerk test was
on July %, 1881, and Civil Serv-
ice officials today said the old
register was so depleted it is
necessary to create a new one.
Eligibles now on the old roster
and not yet called to a job must
take the examination again,
officials said.
Assistant statistical clerks re-
ceive $1,620 yearly upon entrance.
Applicants, however, may ask a
junior statistical status at $1,440.
Mental tests, elementary COM
putations and tabulation and
graphing are the subjects of the
examination, which will require
about seven hours. The age limits
are 18 to 40.
A test for chief, head and staff
dieticians, at salaries from $1,000
to $4,000 annually, also was an
nounced, to close March 25.

at first were willing to testify
but by the time it was presented
to the Grand Jury they mani

pens, Mr.. Kindleberger testified,
that the Government loses some
of its cases. Mr.. Kindleberger
said last year % cases were ig-
nored by the Grand Jury in one
month.
No New Business
Asked by the committees coun-
sci his opinion regarding assistant
District attorneys maintaining a
private practice, Mr.. Kindleberger
replied he was not in position to
give an answer. He told the COM
mittee his salary is $4,000 a year,
that he has taken no new private
business since coming into office,
but that Il have a few matters
I have not cleaned up yet"
The witness testified that in
Police Court matters ne is the
only one authorized to nolle PROSE-
cases. and that his five assistants
have no such power without his
approval.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of Wealth and POsUe1" MI
MILLION
SHIP BONUSES
PAID GRACE
War Profits Too High, Head of
Bethlehem Firm Admits to
Senate Probers
international News Service

Wartime operations Of the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Company
brought bonuses totaling more
than $3,500,000 over three-year
period to the chairman of the
board, Eugene R. Grace, he told
the Senate Munitions Committee
today.
Appearing as the first witness
in the probe of the Bethlehem
concern, Mr.. Grace admitted read
lily that he thought wartime
profits were too high. He added
that his firm would welcome low
cred profits in war time, but de-
clared a 100 per cent tax on war
profits would run the private ship
building industry out of business.
War Profit Tax
Senator Nye (R.) North Dakota,
committee chairman, asked:
"HOw about a l per cent
prOfit?"
Mr.. Grace replied:
81 do not want to discuss
specific percentages, but do
think that the stockholders
would be willing to take a very
nominal profit"
Mr.. Grace received his biggest
bonuses during the three years
1917, 1918 and 1919. The first
year his bonus was $1,501,532
the next it was $1,386, 1893, and in
1919 it was $1,782,031, testimony
placed before the committee
showed. He continued to receive
bonuses after that, but the
amounts were not large again un-
til the boom period beginning with
1926.
In 1925 Mr.. Grace received a
bonus of $852,16O, in 1927 it was
$721,885; in 1928, $831,750: in
1929, $1,623,753, and in 1880,
$1,015,591.
Opposes Capital Draft
The witness was asked specific
ally whether the Government
should draft capital as we'll as
man-power in war time. He re-
piled:
Speaking for myself, feel
that if the Government were
using private capital for the pur-
poses of supplies, there should
be fair profit for the owners
of that capital.
"I'm certainly not for exceS-
sive profits in war time, but you
can't keep industry going on a
pure cOSt-return basis"
Senator Clark Cd, Missouri,
interrupted to say that if he had
an eagle on my shoulder" he
could draft men to make steel
"and like it." But the witness
contended that the Government
could not efficiently run industry,
and that industry deserved a
nominal profit.

On that date, he testified:
"They left for London to

mother and my sister from the
United States.
"They generally travelled to-
gether. They were devoted to
each other and always in

After reading the letters, the
coroner said:
"WhO would regard them as
written by persons absolutely
normal at the time. There can
be no doubt that the girls
jumped from the plane, and

K|NDLEBERGER
CLASHES WITH
FITZPATRICK
Calls 1t Useless Procedure;
Peters Case to Be Heard
In Today's Crime Quiz

Admission that records Of appli-
cations for warrants at the Dis
trict Attorneys office are not
kept caused a sensation at a hear
ing today before the special
House subcommittee investigating
the crime situation in Wash
iugton.
Squirming perceptibly under a
withering barrage of questions,
Karl Kindleberger, assistant
United States attorney, in charge
Of Police Court prosecutions, told
the committee there is no method
of aScertaining what persons
make requests for warrants at
his office, since no records are
kept.
Bitter clashes between Mr..
Kindleberger and the commit
tees counsel, John r. Fitzpatrick
featured the morning session of
the hearing, which was recessed
at noon and will be resumed
later in the day with Mr.. Kindle-
berger still on the stand.
Answer Shot Back
When asked by Dr. Fitzpatrick
what records of applications for
the issuance of warrants we're
kept, Mr.. Kindleberger shot
back:
"You were there, weren't
yOu?"
DR.. Fitzpatrick, visibly an
noyed by the answer of his form
er associate, said:
I'm asking you. As mat
ter of fact the records of these
cases were kept when was
there"
Records on Hand
If the records ever were kept,
they are not there now, Mr.. Kindle-
berger told the committee. He
pointed out it would be useless
procedure to file all applications
TO- warrants since in 80 per cent
of the cases it would be unnec-
essary and would require volumi-
nous card index system.
That it is an easy matter for a
District resident to obtain a war
rant was admitted by Mr.. Kindle-
berger's testimony. He said his
office issued 80 per cent of all
warrants applied for.
Recitations of the famous
'Peters case" which involves a
request made by two policemen
for the arrest of a son of a local
bondSman on charges of assault
and battery, will feature the after
noon session of the hearing.
Judges Cooperating
Judges in Police Court are CO.
operating fully with the District
Attorneys Office, the witness told
the committee. Later in his testi-
mony he qualified this assertion:
We have never heard a CON-
plaint by judges. We do, how
ever, of course, have minor dis
puteS on SO-called border line
cases. In the case of larceny

SEN. BORAHH HITS
GOOD TRUSTS
Interna tionaI News Service

Any attempt of the Administra-
ton to define good" trusts from
bad trusts" in the new recovery
act would be like talking about
good kidnapers and bad kidnapers,
Senator Borah (R0, Of Idaho, de-
clared today.
He was referring to the recent
speech of Donald R. Richberg, re-
covery coordinator, in which Mr..
Richberg stressed the need for a
flexible law to distinguish various
kinds of trusts.
Senator Borah and Senator Nye
(RO, of North Dakota, have de-
livered many Senate speeches at
tacking the NRA on the ground
it encourages monopolies and
StrangleS small enterprises. Sena-
tor Borah said:
bad trusts and good trusts
incGF FpOrated into law would
simply mean that monOpolieS
were permitted to prey upon the
people by leave Of political favor
itiSm.
This refinement about a law
which would seek to make a
distinction as to what monopoly
should be in order to be cIaSsed
good, and what it may not do in
order to be claSSed bad is
roundabout way to break down
and render wholly ineffective all
laws against monopoly and all
efforts designed to protect the
people from monopoly"
He charged former Recovery

time "for the small man to CO."

Free RakOsi'
Actions Grow
In Hungary
Especial to the Daily WORKER

BUDAPEST, Jan. 30 (By Wire
less) The heightening here of the
anti-fascist sentiment against the
Goemboes dictatorship, and the in
tense and successful activity of the
Hungarian Communist Party in
leading this movement, was blamed
in tonights issue of the Eight
O'Clock Evening News" directly on
the instructive and vigorous support
aroused in the working class by
Matthias Rakosi's trial. This paper
of Hungarian capital, commenting
uneasily on the brilliant defense of
the great anti-fascist, is calling for
suppression of all news Of the trial
Remarking that "the political di-
vision of the administration has for
a long time noticed the increasing
strength Of the communist move
ment," the paper states:
Communist actions have now
been given a new impetus through
the Rakosi trial. Yesterday we
witnessed the fifth of the so-called
demonstrations of sympathy for
Rakosi. Leaflets, by which they
hope to create unrest, are drown
ing the city.
Naturally the political division
is endeavoring to halt this Com
munist agitation. but in spite Of
the strenuous efforts of the police,
the first week of the trial has seen
such a horde of leaflet- distrib-
utors that it is impossible to cope
with them.

Points Out

less) No capitalist country can
show growth like ours IN produce
ton, IN union membership, wage
levels, and living standards. The
workers deputies come to this
Congress with victories to re-
port which no other country can
boast Of"
This was the general line Of ths
report Of N. NJ. schvernik, secre-
tary of Trade Unions in the Soviet
Union to the All-Union Congress Of
Soviets late this afternoon. Applause
rose from the whole Congress when
he sscribed socialist construction to
the leadership of the Communist
Party and particularly to Joseph
Stain, its General Secretary.
schvernik pointed out that "al-
though wages were only a partial
measure of the improvement in the
conditions of the Soviet worker, still
wages rose 81 per cent in the last
four years, and this cannot be dis
regarded, especially as the wage
level in the United States last year
was only 1874 per cent Of the 1923
level"
"The country OF the SOviets mas
no unemployment The Soviet
Union is land of really free
labor, whose one will and desire
is the construction Of Soviet in
dustry," Schvernik said.
The trade union leader described
in detail the social insurance Of
which the unions were placed in
charge more than year ago The
insurance budget was higher by two
billion rubles in 1884 than in 1882,
he pointed out. Last year 1850, 600
workers went to free rest homes
and $4,000 to health resorts,
