30 Days for Vacation and
IS Days for Sickness to
Be Acted Upon.
FAVORABLE ATTITUDE
TO TRANSFER AGENCY
Jobs Would Be Found for Those
Whose Services Are No
Longer Needed.
BY WILL P. KENNEDY.

Two bills affecting all Government
employees, providing for restoration Of
80 days annual leave and for IS days
sick leave. cumulative. probably will
be passed by the House Thursday
under the special rule approved by
the House Rules Committee last week.
Chairman Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee said today he
Is making every effort to get this legis-
lation passed as early as possible,
probably before Thursday, if the party
program permits.
Ramspeck said he knows Of no seri-
GUS opposition, since these measures
carry the approval of the administra-
ton, the Civil Service Commission and
the various Government departments.
Transfer Agency Favored.
RamSpeck also said he is heartily
in favor of legislation to establish a
general transfer agency under the
Civil Service Commission which would
find jobs in other branches Of the
Government for employees whose serv-
ices are about to be no longer required
by the particular agencies in which
they are now working.
He introduced legislation toward
this end several years ago and has
encouraged the various Government
departments to endeavor to find posi-
lions for employees in the Civil Service
who are found to be surplus in their
present positions.
Ramspeck was called on today by
delegation from the interdepart-
mental committee which asked him to
sponsor a bill to set up a central
transfer commission under the Civil
Service Commission to take care OF
those employees who received their APP
pointments without civil service stand
ing, as well as the civil service workers.
Against Legislation.
He told this delegation he could
not support legislation which would
give the Civil Service Commission any
part in assigning to jobs those who
did not have civil service standing.
Ramspeck said he is opposed to
allowing the Civil Service Commission
to perpetuate in their employment any
| who have not civil service rating. be-
cause, in many instances, he believes,
they were not properly selected.
Many appointments; he pointed out,
have been made on account Of college
or fraternity connections, through
personal friendships or relationships.
and he said he would have no part in
continuing such a system.

HOLbR0OK DAIRY
WINS BOTTLE SUIT
Chestnut Farms-Chevy
Chase Concern Must Pay
for Court Action.

The controversy between the Hol-
brook Dairy Farms of Hyattsville,
Md, and the Chestnut Farms Chevy
Chase Dairy of this city over pos
session of some $4,000 milk bottles
was brought to an end by Judge
Nathan Cation In Municipal Court
today when he awarded possession Of
the bottles and 1-cent damage YER
dict to the Holbrook firm.
He also ruled that the Chestnut
Farms-Chevy Chase Dairy must pay
the bottles.
Judgment was granted on default,
counsel for the local dairy having
failed to put IN an appearance. The
court was informed by Arthur j.
Hilland, attorney for Holbrook, that
counsel for the two concerns had
reached an agreement on the default
verdict.
1t was understood that the Hol-
brook concern already had recovered
all of its bottles following the filing
of a replevin suit for them. The
bottles we're located in a warehouse
adjacent to the plant of the local
concern at 1908 N street.
At the time of the filing of the suit,
E. N. Brawner, vice president of the
Chestnut Farms Chevy Chase Dairy,
said the delay in returning the bottles
was inadvertant and that the $4,000
figure was incorrect. He described the
occurrence as "regrettable."

Also hunting the woman's aSsailant,
Creel heard Kenney moving about in
the dark hallway of the house and
opened fire, wounding the detective
in the elbow.
A native of Massachusetts,, Kenney
was appointed to the washington po-
lice force In January, 1925, and was
promoted to precinct detective at No.
8 in July, 1890.
His record carries many commenda-
lions for clearing up larcenies while
he was with the robbery squad. He
was instrumental in solving the
burglary of Kann's Department Store
four years ago and played a prominent
part in running down the hold-up
man who robbed the Earle Theater
several years back.
Kenney was made detective SER
geant in. August, 1881, and had been
with the automobile squad since.

ing for $e,00o,0 900.

In marked contrast to the usual
seasonal trend, the value of building
construction In June showed an in
crease of more than 10 per cent over
the preceding month, with Washing
ton leading all cities, with the ex-
ception of New York, in building
activity.
The report made by Secretary OF
Labor Perkins, affecting an industry
which suffered more than its share
through unemployment, was a bright
spot in the months progress toward
recovery.
In Washington, for the month, sos
permits were issued for 1884,, 1862
worth of construction. New York
City showed 1896 permits for $l2,-
654,828 in new construction.
The types Of construction In the
District of Columbia provided for a
preponderance of non-residential over
residential types. Apparently the di-
rect cause for the excellent showing
in the Capital for June was the con.
tract awarded by the procurement
office of the Treasury for the annex
to the Library of Congress. which
will cost in excess of 100000. This
permit, by the way. was the largest
issued in the country during the
month.
Gain Seen Significant.
THE gain over May in the value
of total building operations is es.
pecially significant" Secretary Per.
kins said, 'in view OF the fact that
in each Of the four preceding year!
a decrease of 20 per cent or more
has been reported at this time"
Indicated expenditures for resi-
Dental buildings were more thai
three times as great as in June, 1884
while the value Of non-residentia
construction increased rs per CEN
and the value of alterations and re.
pairs jumped 20 per cent.
The value of new residential build.
ings in June was $28 ,949, 1866, an in
crease Of 1873 per cent over the pre-
ceding month. A total Of 1850 fam
lily dwellings were built.
Baltimore Ranks High.
Non-residential buildings accountes
for an expenditure Of $4,000, 1s9. al
increase Of 22.8 per cent over May
Total construction, including repairs
accounted for expenditures of s76,'

Baltimore ranked high among tn
cities with 1888 permits for building
costing s69s, 200. Only seven othe
cities, Bayonne, N. j.; Chicago, Cleve
land, Detroit, Los Angeles, New Or
leans and Oakland, Calf, exceeded
81 ,00O, 900 in building, outside o
Washington and New York.
Some of the increase was due u
governmental activities. Among tn
large permits issued was a P. w. A

NOTABLE CHURCH
LANDMARK TO co
Commissioners Seek Bids
to Rae Metropolitan
Memorial NJ. {.

The last traces of once notable
landmark of the Capital soon will be
removed.
The Commissioners today called for
bids for razing all that is left of the
old Metropolitan Memorial Methodist
Church. the first national church
erected by that denomination. Bids
will be opened on July 80 and the
work is planned to get under way
Immediately afterward.
Demolition of the once famous shrine
actually was begun about a year ago
when the spire was found to be I'M
safe. The church already had been
abandoned by its congregation, the
membership having merged in 1881
with that Of the University Heights
Methodist Church, at Nebraska and
New Mexico avenues.
Relief Headquarters.
Since that time the old edifice has
been used, first as headquarters for
the Districts emergency relief organi-
cation, and later by the Police Depart
ment as a storage warehouse. AT
present it is vacant.
The church, at John Marshall place
and C street, occupies a part of the
site of the proposed Municipal Center
and would have eventually had to be
moved to make way for the new city
government buildings. But Col. John
w. Oehmann, building inspector, found
its walls, floors and ceiling are no
longer safe and ordered that the
structure be RACED.
The old church once was the center
of Methodist activities of the Capital.
Authorized by the Methodist Confer
ence as a national institution in 1852,
the corner stone was laid two years
later. Difficulties in raising funds
were encountered and it was not un-
til four years after the Civil War that
it was completed and dedicated.
Grant on First Board.
On its first Board of Trustees were
President Grant and Chief Justice
Salmon P. Chase. Many other Presi-
dents, Vice Presidents and justices of
the Supreme Court worshiped there.
Although the city grew north and
west of the original site. the Metro
politan Church continued until 1881
to be one of the outstanding centers
of church activity in the city.
The Police Department found it I'M
suitable for storage purposes several
months ago and recently transferred
its property to the old May Building,
not far away on c street.

Although not ssnctioning Reno
divorces, the United States Court of
Appeals ruled today that a wife who
has secured a collision and fraudulent
divorce in the. Nevada Court cannot
later have 1t set aside in this juris-
diction to obtain a more satisfactory
arrangement for alinony.
The opinion, the last one written
by the late Associate Justice Hitz,
was handed down in a suit Drought
by Frances M. Curry against Spen-
Ger B. Curry and lis second wife,
Lillian Kraemer Curry.
Justice Hitz described the case as
another matrimonial controversy
somewhat complicated by the inter-
state traffic in marriage and divorce"
The Currys we're married here In
1912 and lived together for II years
until in 1929 the husband. according
to the opinion, left his wife.
In 1880 Curry and his first wife en-
tered into separation agreement,
under which he agreed to give her
their home mere and $3.50 a month
maintenance. on the alleged oral con-
dition that she go to Reno and divorce
him.
Payments Halted.
Subsequently, the wife secured the
Nevada divorce and then returned to
Washington, where she took over the
home and received the $3.50 a month
for year. Three months after the
divorce Curry remarked in Virginia
and several months later, having met
with financial reverses, stopped max
ing the payments to his first wife.
Later she mortgaged and lost the
home.
The first wife subsequently obtained
a judgment against the husband for
arrears under the separation agree
ment, but, being unable to satisfy the
Judgment, she found herself penniless
and brought suit in the District ST.
preme Court to set aside the Reno
decree and secure divorce here with

Attorney General.

The report of the District of Co.
lumbia- Virginia Boundary Commission
favoring a low-water mark boundary
on the Virginia shore of the Potomac
River is unsatisfactory" to the Fed
eral Government and in apparent
conflict" with Supreme Court deci-
sions, it was announced today by At

Cummings said he would reserve "ex-
tended comments" on the findings of
the commission until the report is
before Congress, but declared, in a
brief statement, that the recommends
tions are subject to attack on sundry
grounds.
CAS- the commission was appointed

was directed to report to Congress, it
would not be appropriate to make
any extended comments until the
matter formally is submitted and un-
der consideration.
ct may say, however, that the re-
port is unsatisfactory from the stand
point of the Government and Is open
to objection on various grounds, espe-
cially in view of its apparent conflict
with two decisions of the Supreme
Court of the United States on the
precise points involved in the re-

Federal Incorporation of
Building Loan Units Ruled
Out.
BY the Associated Press.

A section of the home owners loan
act of 1888 authorizing Federal in
corporation of building and loan asso-
Citations, despite a States wishes, was
invalidated today by the Supreme
Court.
In an unanimous decision handed
down while a crowded court room
awaited all-important arguments on
the A. A. A.. the highest court struck
another blow at the New Deal.
In some quarters the ruling was
viewed as a possible guide post to the
extent of Federal power over State
affairs. 1t was the first opinion this
term on q New Deal law.
The justices affirmed ruling by the
Wisconsin Supreme Court that three
Milwaukee building and loan associa-
tions must remain under State control
because they were chartered as State
corporations.
Counsel for the Wisconsin Banking
Department argued the provision for
shift to Federal control. on vote Of 81
per cent Of the stockholders, was an
invasion of State rights.
Attorneys for the Home Loan Bank
Board had contended that Congress
has supreme and exclusive power
| over the national fiscal system"
They said the legislation was neces-
Sary to promote the general welfare,
a point also made on behalf of the
| A. A. A.
The litigation grew out Of the ap-
plication of the Hopkins Federal Saw
ings & Loan Association. the Re-
lance Building g. Loan Association
and the Northern Building g. Loan
Association for Federal charter. The
Wisconsin Banking Department took
| legal action to prevent it.
The home loan act was passed to
| aid distressed home owners meet their
Indebtedness. Twelve regional home
loan banks were established to make
advances on mortgages held by thrift
and home financing institutions which
| joined the system.
Justice Cardozo delivered the opin-
ion. He said the section was a tres
pass" on State rights.

DEFENSE PLANS NEW FIGHT.
Plea to Court of Pardons Seen
Next Move.

TRENTON, N. j., December 9 LP).-
Bruno Richard Hauptmanns attorneys
will carry on their fight to save him
from the electric chair in spite of the
adverse ruling of the Supreme Court,
which today denied Hauptmann's re1
quest for a review of his Pennington
trial.
I'm disappointed at the news" C,
Lloyd Fisher, one of Hauptmann's ats
torneys, said.
But there is this to be said: The
request for review was based entirely
on the record Of the trial. The court,
therefore, could consider only such
things as lay before it,
They could not pass on anything
which has since developed. None Of
these things was available to them.
"The decision Of the court will nos
have a very great bearing on what We
are doing. We shall carry on our
investigation"
Asked if this indicated that new
evidence has been discovered, Fisher
said it did.
