Structed Ohio delegation for the Repub.
lican National Convention. In some quar-
ters this is looked upon as a move to
head off Senator William E Borah of
Idaho, who apparently has been con-
sidering seriously entering the prefer
ential primaries in a number of the
States. In Ohio a candidate for the
presidential nomination seeking the sup
port Of the State delegation must de-
clare himself a candidate and give
written permission to enter his name in
the primary. Whether Senator Borah
will do this remains to be seen.

The uncompromising stand taken by
Herbert Hoover in his attacks upon the
Roosevelt administration and its policies
already has heralded definite plan to
place the G. O. p. unqualifiedly against
the New Deal. Mr.. Hoover's close
friends say that the response to the New
York speech delivered a week ago by Mr..
Hoover Before the Ohio Society in that
city has brought wide response. Mr..
Hoover has gone home, to Palo Alto.
The next address delivered in his anti
New Deal campaign may be given in a
Middle West city. He has received a
number of invitations to speak in that

Senator Borahs letter declaring that if
he were President and an anti-lynching
bill, on the line of the Costigan- Wagner
bill, were presented to him he would
veto it, may have wide political effect.
His fiat declaration that he would not
approve such law, on the ground that
it was unconstitutional and invaded
States rights, was made to the National
Association for the Advancement of COL
ored People. It was unequivocal. Con-
sidered from q practical political view.

SENATE D. C. COMMITTEE
WILL CONVENE TUESDAY
Measures Considered Probable
Will Include One on Util-
tiles Appeals.

The Senate District Committee is
scheduled to meet at o'clock Tues
day afternoon to consider several
measures, which probably will in
clude the bill passed by the House to
establish a new procedure for appeal
ing to the courts from decisions Of
the Public Utilities Commission.
It is likely the proposed new di-
vorce law for the District, recently
approved by subcommittee, will come
up for action. The measure would
broaden the grounds for an absolute
divorce, which at present can be
granted only on the grounds Of in
fidelity.
It is possible the committee also
may discuss whether to proceed with
consideration of local airport legisla-
ton at this session.

in everybody. An even greater public
health problem is that of dealing
with maladies which are entirely in
dividual-diseaSes of the heart, kid
news, stomach, etc. One can't conduct
a survey of these and apply o COM
mon remedy. They are due to in
dividual weaknesses and individual
ways of life. Here the problem rests
upon the arouSing of health conscious
ness so that that individual will
change ways of life and consult COM
petent physicians. 1t is a matter of
education.
Other Campaigns Successful.
There is no question but that the
health. status of Washington can be
bettered, he says, and the death rate
brought down materially. This has
been done in other cities where condi-
tions, to start with, were worse. But
the sovereign requirements are time,
work and money.
Is public health worth the cost?
Is it function Of the public to be
concerned with the health of the in
dividual?
DR.. Rutland insists that both ques-
tions. especially in Washington. should
be answered in the affirmative.
In the first place, bacteria draw no
class or color lines. So long as there
is a single active case Of tuberculosis
the infection is likely to spread to
anybody else who comes in contact
with it. One must be ones bro ther's
keeper to prevent the germ in the
brothers lungs from getting into ones
own lungs. 1t is a matter of self
protection, not only for Washington
but for the Nation at large because
of the great numbers of visitors who
come here
In the second place, it is matter
of cold dollars and cents.
Why does the public educate chill
dren? Not, says DR.. Rutland, because
Of pure Sentimentality. Money is ex-
pended for public schools because it
is a good investment. Every man or
woman who has reached the produc-
tive stage of life is a public asset.
One may even calculate the value
or the cost Of production of this public
asset. 1t comes out about $4,000.
Multiply that by the number vf chill
dren in the District schools. The
portion of the required So per person
needed to meet public health require
mentS for child welfare might be con-
sidered as an insurance premium on
this vast investment
The District is under-insured.

EFFICIENCY RATING
SYSTEM TO START
Civil Service Board Sends
Instructions for Try
Out This Week.

The Civil Service Commission yes
terday sent out to Government estab-
lishments instructions for applying
the new efficiency rating system which
gets its initial try-out when the an
nual ratings are made May IS.
The new system does away with
the fine numerical distinctions of
the old.
In sending out the instructions,
the commission said:
THE present plan of recording the
efficiency of employees, like any other
plan having the same purpose, re-
quires intelligent action, considered
Judgment and mutual cooperation
on the part of rating officers, re-
viewing officers and boards of review.
The plan affords a convenient uni
form vehicle for recording these judg-
ments, but the usefulness of the plan
and the value of the efficiency ratings
when made depend upon the degree
to which all the rating officials CO.
operate before, during and after the
rating process in acquiring and ap-
plying a correct understanding Of the
rating tasks and responsibility and a
common understanding of rating
standings and the terms in which
these standards are expressed.
Under the new rating scheme, en-
ployes are graded excellent, very good,
good, fair and unsatisfactory. When
employees have a rating of excellent,
very good or good they are eligible
for pay increases. When unsatisfac-
tory they are not to be continued
longer in the work upon which en-
gagged, but assigned to duties more
nearly commensurate with their abil-
ity. The new efficiency rating scale
was devised after lengthy study
by personnel officers throughout the
Government in cooperation with the
Civil Service Commission"

In this dilemma he called down to

WEATHER BUREAU GETS
METEOROLOGICAL NOTES
Explorer Will Stay With Brother
and Mother, Rejoining
Ships Later.

In sharp contrast with the tumul-
tuous reception given them at the
Washington Navy Yard Friday after
noon on their return from Little
America, members of the second Byrd
Antarctic expedition received very
quiet send-off yesterday afternoon as
they embarked for Quantico, Va, on
the first leg of a cruise to Boston,
where they will be feted next Thurs
day.
Except for about 100 relatives and
friends and a few sightseers, there
was no one on hand to see the old
Bear of Oakland, 60-year-old former
Coast Guard ice patrol boat, shove
off from the Navy Yard wharf shortly
after 2 pm. for Quantico, where the
s. S. Jacob Rupert, big expedition
supply ship, has been tied up since
Thursday night.
Byrd Goes Aboard Bear.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd went
aboard the Bear for short time be-
fore she left to discuss final arrange
ments for the cruise to Boston with
Capt Robert A. j. English, COM
mander of the Bear, and Lieut.. Comdr.
George o. Neville, executive officer OF
the expedition.
After the Bear had cast of the
admiral left Washington by automo-
bile for Winchester, Va, where he
will spend the week end at the home
of his brother, Thomas Byrd with
his mother, Mrs. Richard E. Byrd, ST.,
and his wife and children. Byrd will
rejoin the expedition somewhere near
Boston.
The Bear was open to visitors at
Quantico last night and was 70 leave
there for Boston at daybreak today.
The Rupert, faster ship, will re-
main at Quantico all day today and
will be open to visitors. She is to
leave for Boston early tomorrow morn
ing, overtaking the Bear on the way.
No date has been set for the dis
banding of the expedition, but this
probably will take place within
month or six weeks After the Bos-
ton visit the expedition will return to
New York, home port of the Jacob
Rupert.
Some of the scientific records and
collections were put ashore in Wash
ington, chiefly the meteorological rec
ords, which were taken to the Weather
Bureau for study.
Livestock tn Go Ashore.
Other material is to be unloaded at
Boston and the last of the cargo
probably will go ashore at New York.
The expeditions two cows and the
yearling bull, Iceberg, born near the
edge of the ice barrier, are to go
ashore at Boston. The surviving pen
gums probably will be turned over to
the New York Geological Park.
While in Washington yesterday, af-
ter leaving the White House, where
he had spent the night as the Presi-
dents house guest, Admiral Byrd
called on Secretary of the Navy Swan
son. 1t was social visit, not for
business purposes, Byrd said, explain
ing: 1--WE been knowing the Secretary
all my life, ever since / was that
high" He held his hand at knee
level.
He spent part of the morning at
the Willard Hotel, headquarters of
the expedition here, where he received
calls from a number of friends. After
the strenuous activity of the past few
days. the admiral said, he was look
ing forward to the quiet of Mothers
day with his mother and family in
