BILL SEEKS EXTRA
POLICE SERGEANTS.
Miss Shoemaker Offers
Measure to Add Two on
Montgomery Force.
BY Stan Correspondent of Thc Star.

By staff Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, March IA bill
which would provide two additional
sergeants for the Montgomery County
police force was introduced in the
House of Delegates today by Miss
Ruth E. Shoemaker. The measure has
the support of the entire delegation
in the Lower House.
The Montgomery force will have
seven sergeants If the bill is enacted.
Miss Shoemaker said there had been
a popular demand to place a sergeant
in command of each of the county's
three police stations and that the
measure would provide the required
number of ranking officers, with an
additional sergeant to serve in a re-
lief capacity.
In addition to Miss Shoemaker, the
bill has the support of Delegates T..
Yellott Candy and r. Shirley Hays,
her associates in the Democratic wing
of the county delegation, and Fusion
Delegates Joseph A. Cantrel and Wal
ter M. Magruder.
Delegates Magruder and Cantrel in
troduced a bill which would abolish
one of the two deputy sheriff positions
in Montgomery County. The salary
for the Office which they propose to
eliminate is s2,100 annually, with an
additional allowance Of $500 for ex-
penses. The bill is one of the features
of Cantrel's economy program.

ACTION DELAYED
ON LOGAN BILL
Senate Civil Service Com.
mittee Members Want
Time to Study Bill.

The Senate Civil Service Commit
tee today postponed action on the
Logan bill which would require thou
sands of New Deal emergency en-
ployes to acquire civil service status
by taking q non-competitive civil
service examination.
The committee debated the meas
ure for more than an hour In exec
utive session, but Chairman Bulow
said it was felt that on a bill of
such Importance there should be a
full attendance of the committee
members before taking vote. Some
members also wanted time to give the
subject more study. a..
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia. said he was not familiar with
the bill prior to this meeting and
wanted to go over the hearings before
expressing his views.
Senator Logan, Democrat, Of Ken
lucky. introduced the bill to apply
the civil service laws uniformly to
the entire executive branch of the
Government, excepting only officials
appointed by the President and con-
flrmed by the Senate and such cases
as the President might exempt by
executive order. If the bill passed
all incumbents who were appointed
without regard to civil service would
have to submit to the non-competitive
examination.
During the past two years the per-
sonnel of most of the new govern
mental agencies created to combat
the depression has been appointed
without regard to civil service. At a
recent hearing various organizations
of Government employees and other
groups supported the bill in order to
strengthen the merit system through
out the Government service.

BIRTHDAY
|S0BSERvED HERE
Capital Organization Helps
Mark 22d Anniversary
of Parent Body.

Washington's Community Chest to-
day joined with similar organizations
in Alb other cities to observe the 22d
birthday of the Community Chest
movement. 1t is the seventh year Tor
the local Chest.
The Community Chest plan had its
inception in Cleveland in 1918, when
the Cleveland Federation for Charity
and Philanthropy. now known as the
Cleveland Community Fund, originated
the central financing of social work
agencies through a single annual
campaign.
Since that time Chests have spread
rapidly over the United States because
of the increased efficiency and service
which their community planning for
social work has promoted" Frederic r.
Kellogg, president of Community
Chests and Councils, said in an ami
versary message received here at Chest
headquarters
i01 Chests in U. S.
Today there are 401 Chests in the
United States proper, in Hawaii, 8
in Canada, 2 in South Africa and in
Cuba.
With the introduction of the Com
munity Chest plan here in 1928. under
the sponsorship Of leading citizens of
all affiliations and creeds, it rapidly
became leading civic movement of
the Capital. it was explained by local
Chest officials.
A notable group Of men have headed
the Chest as president, the first being
Frederic A. Delano, chairman Of the
Fine Arts Commission. The next
president was John Poole, banker, who
was followed by Edwin c. Graham, now
president of the Hamilton National
Bank. Mr.. Graham was succeeded by
NeWbold Noyes. associate editor OF The
Evening Star, who in turn yielded the
office to Clarence Phelps Dodge, the
incumbent.
Some idea Of the growth of interest
in the Chest campaign throughout the
city may be gained from the fact that
before the coming of the Chest social
welfare work in Washington was
financed by approximately $4,000 per-
sons, these being the persons listed as
Evening star., 1935-03-01

which financial agreements and con-
struction contracts have already been
signed.
Secretary Ickes also revealed today
that mot one cents" is available now
for building the Shenandoah-Great
Smoky Mountains Parkway, the scenic
route in Virginia and North Carolina
and Tennessee.
The S6,000000 "earmarked" for the
parkway which eventually was to cost
from sl60OO,o00 to $4,000, 900, he re-
vealed, is part Of the impounded
money.
The parkway was one of the pet"
projects of Mr.. Ickes, who is noted as
a conservationist and lover of ma
ture. The funds were earmarked for
the project" he said, but now even
the ear is gone"
There can be no hope now OF carry
ing out the project. Mr.. 1ckes said,
unless Congress passes some such
measure as the s4,88O, 100000 work re-
lief bill or special fund is provided
for continuing public works.
Secretary Ickes statement drew as
surances, however, from Senator Byrd
of Virginia and from Representative
Weaver of North Carolina that the
parkway project is not dead.
Senator Byrd said he felt confident
1--WE will have the support of the Pres
ident and Secretary Ickes in carrying
out this proposal" He made public
a memorandum signed by Ickes No
vember l8, 1888, telling of Mr.. Roose-
velt's approval of the project and the
conditions which the States affected
must meet. He said the States were
meeting these conditions.

Congress may look into the back
ground of a recent f1areup within the
New Deal over affairs in the Virgin
Islands.
The recent episode ended with Sec
retary Ickes sending an apology to
Postmaster General Farley, Attorney
General Cummings and Senator Har-
rison. Democrat, Of Mississippi.
The possibility that this affair
might be reopened and its background
aired arose when an investigation Of
conditions in the islands was recon-
mended to the Senate yesterday by
its Territories Committee.
The proposed investigation would
involve the administration of Paul M.
Pearson. Pennsylvania Republican.
appointed Governor of the islands by
former President Hoover and retained
by the New Deal.
Ickes Backs Pearson.
Ickes has indorsed Pearson's ad-
ministration. He has predicted that
rum distilleries being revived in the
islands with P. w. A. funds will end
most Of their economic ills.
Pearson. who was an educator and
a Chautauqua leader before he be-
came Governor of the island group
east of Cuba. has been in conflict
with Judge T. Weber Wilson, Virgin
Islands justice appointed by Attorney
General Cummings
About a month ago the Interior IIc-
partment reprinted, and then hur-
riedly withdrew, a magazine article
supporting Pearson and criticizing
Judge Wilson. The article asserted
Wilson had acted as judge, jury and
prosecuting attorney in convicting a
P w. A. employe on a charge Of mis-
appropriating Government property.
After the reprint was withdrawn
Ickes apologized to Cummings. Farley
and Senator Harrison for the fact
that it had been issued. The article
had attributed Wilson's appointment
to Farley, Harrison and Cummings.
Accusations made against the Gov
ernor Of the Islands by Paul G. Yates,
his former executive secretary. were
behind the Senate committees rec
ommendation for the investigation
yesterday.

Senator Clark, Hurt in Fall,
Unable to Question
Witness.

A fall down stairs by Senator Clark.
Democrat, of Missouri, caused post
ponement today of the plans of the
Senate Munitions Committee to hear
William B. Shearer answer previous
testimony that he had threatened
death and scandal to officials of ship
building companies in a disagreement
over pay for big Navy propaganda.
Clark, a member of the committee,
planned to question Shearer and had
studied the case in advance His
office reported he was not seriously
injured, but would not come to the
Office.
1t was explained that a new pair
OF slippers he was wearing tripped
him on stairs in his home and he fell.
receiving severe shaking up.
To Be Called Soon.
Shearer, who previously had termed
the story of the threats "frame-up,
has waited two weeks for an oppor-
tunity to reply. He was assured he
would be called sometime next week.
Meantime, the committee planned
to remain in recess at least for the
early part Of next week working on
its program Of legislation aimed at
taking the profit out of war.
Yesterday the committee ended its
investigation of the Bethlehem Ship
building Corp, punctuated by the
declaration of a corporation official
that the committees evidence OF con-
tract collusion was a third handed
hearsay story" This description Of
the testimony came from S. w.
Wakeman, vice president Of the cor
poration.
Grace Gifts Shown.
The committee closed the hearing
for Bethlehem at the end of four
days, although two weeks had origi-
nally been allotted to it.

to face charges of disloyalty. in
subordination and inefficiency. Yates
replied that he had resigned. that
he had lost confidence in Ickes, that
Pearson was Hoover er-appointed re-
dictionary Republican" and that he
had "a feeling Congress will want to
investigate the entire disgraceful sit
uation."
Since then Yates sent a 48-page
communication to the Senate Terri
tories Committee In it he said Sec
retary Ickes was drunk with political
power" that the islands were the
abode of IAN oppressed people under
the American flag" and their present
administration was "wasteful. ex-
travagant, inefficient and tainted with
corruption"
Informed yesterday at St. Thomas,
Virgin Islands, of the proposed in
vestigation, Pearson said it would be
welcomed.
Its perfectly all right with me-"
