When you hear a cheerful, tin
king laugh from behind the
frosted door Of the National Re.
covery Administrations personnel
office, Commerce Building, you
know that it's Polly Milligan.
Polly, pretty. petite and peppy,
is the spark plug Of her office.
She's the toast Of her colleagues.
masculine and feminine, because
Of her sunny, winSome disposition
and the quick smile that is for
ever dimpling her mouth.
Miss Milligan is from Jackson,
Miss, but she lacks that drawing
accent that so many Government
girls have brought up from Dixie.
Outside of office hours, Polly's
particular pet project is golf. She
said today that it's unusual when
she can't complete nine holes in
less than so strokes which is
good for a girl who cannot prac.
tice very much. She also rides
horseback occasionally, on Sun
days.

Barring unforeseen difficulties,
extended leave privileges for Gov
ernment employees loom as a sure
thing, in the opinion of Repre-
sentative Robert w. Ramspeck
CD0, Of Georgia, chairman Of
the House Civil Service Commit
tee.
Author of two leave bills, which,
if passed, will provide Federal
workers with 30 days cumulative
annual leave and Is days annual
sick leave, also cumulative. Mr..
Ramspeck indicated today that he
expects favorable action from his
committee, which is now consider
ing both documents in executive
session.
It was revealed today that the
Bureau of the Budget, which has
a strangle hold on legislative ef-
forts in behalf of the classified
service-in regard to money-has
approved both Ramspeck meas
ureS.
The Civil Service Commission
announced today that an ex-
animation will be held for classi-
fled Iaborers, at salaries ranging
from $500 to $1,000 yearly. Be
cause qualification requirements
are not stringent, officials today
said thousands of applications
are expected.
Four grades Of schooling are
required Of applicants, and a
strength test, consisting Of lifting
and shouldering a sack and con-
tents weighing 125 pounds, will
be held. Applicants may obtain
full information at room 113,
Civil Service Commission, Seventh
and F SITS. N. w.
Today will be the final day
of work for half a dozen en-
ployes of the Government Print
ing office, who are slated to take

more, retire today.
By unanimous vote, the Dis
trict Commissioners today agreed
to ask the opinion of Comptroller
General j. r. McCarl whether
economy" deductions from the
pay of employees Of the Water
Department of the District Gov
ernment were legal.
Col. Charles I. Stengle, former
New York representative, at pres
ent executive assistant Of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, contended be-
fore the Commissioners that the
source of the employees pay is
water rates, not Treasury ap-
propriationS, and consequently
economy cuts should not have
been made.
The Comptroller General has
ruled previously that where the
pay of employees has been de-
rived from sources outside Treas
ury appropriations the so-called
"economy" cuts do not applY.

the charge"
The woman lost control Of her
self. Her face flushed, and still
she stood and answered:
'Not for a thousand dollars!
Not for a thousand dollars!"
DeBoe persisted, and the woman
continued her denials. A morbid
interest motivated the crowd as
first they turned to the youth and
then to the woman as the death
drama continued.
Suddenly DeBoe dropped his
role of vengeful accuser and be-
came the moralist, delivering a
sermon on crime and its conse-
quence. Addressing himself to the
"boyS and girls" he launched into
a warning against crime. He said:
"YOu can see what happens
when you do things that are
wrong. robbed, yes, but 1 am
no rapist. 1 robbed and / am
being killed. Don't ever do wrong
because you have to pay"
Keeping his audience spell
bound he added:
1--WE made peace with God.
I've asked him to forgive that
woman, to forgive ALL"
When the time grew near for
the execution to proceed. DeBoe
was told to prepare himself. With
a stole expression on his face he
said:
Gust let me smoke a cigarette
and I'll be ready"
He was handed a lighted Gig

"Big Shot" Weiner and Pal
Critically Wounded by
New York Gunner

NEW YORK, April 20 G.N.SO.
Robert big Shot" Weiner, notori-
GUS Brooklyn "tough guy" who
beat a murder charge after he con-
fessed to smuggling guns into
Tombs Prison shortly before a
fatal riot there in 1926, was fight
ing a more serious rap today.
Weiner was shot down last
night and critically wounded in
an argument over a narcotic lay
out in uptown New York.
Two gunner shot down Weiner
and his companion, Sam Rumaner
on the sidewalk, and escaped in
an automobile.
Forsyth Street, on the lower
East Side of New York, once the
stamping ground of Monk East
man, Gyp the Blood, Dago Louie
and other legendary metropolitan
gangsters, was the scene of an
other thrilling gun battle early to
day, in which one man was killed
and two others seriously wounded
Three armed men entered the
candy store of Salvatore Manzella
and attempted to hold up half q
dozen participants in a reputed
high-stake card game.
Instead of complying with the
demand to stick 'em up!" Man
celia jerked revolver from shell
and began firing.
The bandits, seeking protection
behind tables and chairs, returned
the fire, at least dozen shots be
ing exchanged.
One of the holdup men was
shot through the heart. He was
subsequently identified as Charles
Lombard, %.
Rosario Claivan, 81, and Vito
Inernicla, As, participants in the
card game, we're wounded.
Lombard'S two companions es
capped.
Forsyth Street, a dozen years
ago, was the scene of gun bat
ties almost nightly,
