EAST FALLS CHURCH, Va, March
Civil service employees Of the Fed
eral Government may participate In
the forthcoming general county cleo
ton as independent candidates, not
withstanding the fact there are party
candidates in the field, without
jeopardi1ng their civil service status,
Charles r. Fenwick. chairman Of the
Arlington County Democratic Execu-
tive Committee. said today, following
a conference with high civil service
officials.
The conference was arranged by
Fenwick after numerous protests had
been heard from over the county
against the Democratic Committees
decision to hold primary election
to select its candidates for county
offices.
U. s. Employees Protest.
The protests. largely from Govern
ment employees and their friends,
maintained that the Executive order
Of May 20. 1881. allowed civil service
employees residing in the county TO
participate in local elections only when
their participation was non-partiSan.
The protestants said that having
party-supported candidates in the field
would preclude them from running
as independents. since. in working for
their own election they necessarily
would be working against the election
of a party candidate. and 1t would
be partisan politics"
Fenwick pointed out at the confer
ence with Chief Examiner L. A. Meyer,
technical adviser to the commission,
and Commissioners Harry B. Mitchell,
president, and Mrs. Lucille Foster Nc
Millin, that the Republican party he'd
full slate in the field, selected at
convention, in the county elections
Of 1927 and 1881; that in 1881 two
civil service employees had run as
nominees of the Republican party,
and had been reprimanded, whereas
those civil service employees who had
run independently had received no
such reprimand.
Fenwick Statement.
Following the conference, Fenwick
said
1T was the opinion Of Commission
ers Mitchell and McMilin and Chief
Examiner Meyer that civil service
employees, by virtue of the Executive
order. could run as independents for
county Offices. even though nominees
of political parties were running for
the same Office. and that their civil
service status would not be endangered,
so long as they did not attack the
nominees Of political parties because
of their political Affiliations; that
they could engage in joint debates
and otherwise attack the records and
qualifications Of the candidates. pro-
vided the discussion did not involve
political affiliations; that civil service
employees had a right to vote in pri-
maries. but could not. run as NOM
inees Of any political party; that they
may also openly support individual
candidates, as individuals. but not as
party nominees"

puzzled.
Mrs. Garner confessed she natural

The Community Chest reports
that its affiliated organizations aid,
in some manner, more than one
fourth OF the entire population OF
Washington during the year. This
is one OF a series of stories to dp-
pear in The Star each Sunday,
shouting typical examples OF the
aid giuen. Only the names are
fictitious.
A dramatic instance of how his
tory repeats itself" is in the process Of
being worked out at the Northeast
Boys Club.
More than 80 years ago, when Noel
House, the forerunner of the North
east Boys Club, was located on H
street northeast, there existed In the
neighborhood group of boys who
had formed themselves into gang"
Any convenient street corner was
their meeting place, and some Of their
escapadeS verged close to the line
where the police would begin to take
an interest.
One of the ring leaders Of this
gang" was induced one night to at
tend meeting at Noel House, where
games were provided and where, even
at that time. instructions in athletics
were being given. He took an interest
in the work being carried on and
Joined one of the clubs.
Lines Old Gang" Up in Work.
Later, IN 1906. Mrs. Robert L. Bacon
gave the club its present home at 1863
Kramer street northeast, and this boy
continued his interest. He had grown
considerably by this time and had
started work with a company of which
he was later to be general manager
He worked hard as a volunteer and
helped many of the younger boys to
learn the principles of craftsmanship
that would make them better men
later in life. Several members of his
old gang" had joined with him and
he soon lined them up In the work
with boys which he enjoyed.

Community Chest Dollars in Action

Business cares became pressing and
after a time this man, although still
friendly to the club, ceased his active
interest. The years rolled on and
the club became a member Of the
Community Chest. Being civic
minded and also a business man, the
economy and efficiency of the Chest
plan for one campaign a year 'ap-
pealed to him and he became sup
porter Of the Chest. His old love,
the Northeast Boys Club, still held
its appeal and each year his gift has
certain portion designated to this
club.
Knows What Clubs Dc.
II know what these clubs do for
boys" he said recently. land in my
opinion there is no finer piece of
welfare work in the city than the
helping of the youngsters who find
practically their sole recreation In
boys clubs. know what the old
Noel House accomplished in break
ing up our gang and taking us from
the streets and I feel sure that the
clubs today, with their trained per-
sonnet, are doing this work still more
effectively"
This mans story is practically re-
peated, so far as the opening chap
tiers are concerned, in the life of one
youngster who has been member OF
the club for some time since 1t be-
came afiliated with the Chest. Taken
from a street corner. gang" he be-
came an enthusiastic club member
and in turn helped train some of the
younger boys. .
His story still further parallels the
experience of the old times in ques-
ton in that the youngster is now
working in an organization similar
to that headed by the man who first
started at Noel House, and has the
same opportunity that the other had
to climb to the top. Chest dollars
helped the second youngster as. the
forerunners Of Chest dollars helped
the first.

CERTAIN HOLDING
GR0UPS.FAv0RED
Companies of Public Benefit
Would Be Spared by
Administration.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Leaders of the drive for regulation
of utilities holding companies said
yesterday the administration con-
templated a method under which
holding companies that could show
their operations were in the public
interest would not be abolished.
They pointed to little publicized
section of the Rayburn bill which
they said would allow those holding
concerns which could show they were
economically and geographically
sound, to continue In business after
the five-year period set for the aboli-
ton of holding companies.
Power Commission Province.
Under this section, they said,
holding company could put its claim
for continued life before the Federal
Power Commission. That commits
sion, after studying the physical set
up of the holding company and the
area affected by its operations, could
certify to the Securities Commission
that the concern should remain In
business.
The Securities Commission, acting
upon the recommendations of the
Power Commission, would then be
able to allow the company to con-
ttnue.
Robert E. Healy, a member of the
Securities Commission and formerly
chief counsel of the Trade Commits
sion, which conducted long inquiries
into the work of holding companies,
has told the House Commerce Com
mittee he planned to propose liberaliz-
ing amendments to that section OF
the Rayburn bill.
Healy has not outlined the amend
ments he had in mind. but there were
some officials who expected that he
would prescribe certain holding COM
pany practices and provide for strict
regulation OF others.
Feeling Against Section.
There was a strong feeling among
some members Of the Commerce Com
mittee against any changes in this
section of the bill They said the
bill had been prepared after long
and careful study of the whole field
and they felt it was capable of pro-
viding a remedy for the situation
which they had found
Some of the authorities who have
made the closest study of holding
companies and the bill that was drawn
up to remedy their ills. said it was
contemplated that the Power Commits
sion in deciding whether a concern
should be allowed to continue would
consider how closely knit we're the
lines controlled by the holding COM
pany.
If the geographical areas covered
by the lines were such as to make il
feasible to swap power from one con-
Germ to another, tending to enable
the operating companies to pool power
and furnishing the prospect that costs
to the consumers might be reduced,
these persons said it was likely that
the Power Commission would find
the concerns operations in the pub
lie interest.
