UNIT JOBS
FIGHT PUSHED

Continuing a campaign that he
has pursued for several weeks, E..
Claude Babcock, president Of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, today renewed his
attacks on the compromise" pro-
posed by the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee in the case Of

ployeS deprived of salary by the
McKellar rider.
Mr.. Babcock deplored the ef.
feet of the proposed measure,
which would allow those workers
whose tenure was not interrupted
during the reorganization Of the
Bureau of Prohibition to keep
their posts, forcing out those who
were dropped and later reinstated
at any time after the four-month
period Of reorganization.
Declaring the compromise" I'm.
acceptable because it would cause
about 430 of the men to lose their
positions on May IS, Mr.. Babcock
said:
"The Interpretation Of admin
istrative officers has been that
the successor agency may &C
cept the employees Of the abOl-
ished agency at any time with
in four months without any
Civil Service procedure. But
this by no means prohibits re-
inStatement or transfer of other
employees under Civil Service

Free Love PeriS
Marriage, View
Of Lindsey

LOS ANGELES, March 10
O.N.S0.-The present trend
toward free love, divorce and
So-called common law marriage
are indexes Of a decided trend
from marriage, in the opinion
of Judge Ben B. Lindsey, famed
domestic relations juriSt. He
said:
Marriage is doomed in
America unless we open our
eyes to reality and change our
whole concept Of the relations Of
the sexes"
Judge Lindsey blamed the new
era of social and economic con-
ditionS, and added that he is
"for good old-faShioned mar
riage, until death do us part"
The jurist who recently re.
fused both parties a divorce in
the sensational Emerson wife
swapping" case said, concern
ing the remedy:
There is only One-the aid
of science must be called. We
must return to religion and
education to meet altered con-
ditiOnS.
Religion has failed to keep
up with the thoughts and lives
Of people under new conditions.
Education, too, has fallen be-
hind the parade"

BONUS CAUSES
WHITE HOUSE
ANXIETY

AS the House today prepared to
swing, into action on the soldiers
bonus bill the White House
watched the movement with grave
anxiety. The outcome Of the
bonus vote is expected to increase
the tempest now brewing in the
congressional teapot.
Members of the House already
have exhibited a tendency to for
get their promises to go. along
with the President" and have
caused considerable worry to Ad-
ministration leaders. 1t is the con-
sensuS at the Capitol that if the
House overrideS the Chief Execu-
tive'S avowed intention of vetoing
the bonus legislation there will be
an increased tendency to override
him on other matters.
A large majority of the House
membership pledged themselves in
the recent campaign to vote for
bonus legislation. The demands
have increased to such an extent
that it is considered highly i'm
probable that they will retract
their prediction promises.
Bill Due to Pass
Consequently the chances are
that some bill, probably amended
in various ways, will be sent to
the Senate.
Members themselves agree that
If the House rolls up a tremen-
douS vote in favor Of the legiSla-
ton it will give many Of them
who have been remaining quiet
a taste of blood" And in that
event, they say, there is no tell
ing just how much control the
President can exercise over them
in the future.
When the bonus legislation
finally is disposed of late this
week or early next, it is almost
certain that one Of the many bills
will be sent to the Senate with
House approval.
The bill to be reported is the
one written by Representative
Fred Vinson CD, Of Kentucky,
which makes no provision for pay.
ment of the 1900 million dollars.
It Is said that the Treasury De-
partment would be expected to is
sue bonds if this legislation was
enacted.

son measure.
Other substitutes, including the
Cochran-Tydings plan which pro
vides that bonds would be issued
to veterans who might cash them
now less compound interest or
hold them until maturity in 1945,
also will be offered, according to
the present outlook.

BIC NAVY FUND
NEAR PASSAGE

House leaders sought final
passage today of the 457-million-
dollar Navy Department appro-
priation bill.
Although the Appropriations
Committee slashed the budget
estimates by a million dollars,
the measure is the largest Navy
supply bill since 1920.
Designed to build the Navy to
treaty strength, which will give
the United States parity with
Great Britain by 1912 and estab-
lish the SO ratio with Japan as
provided by the Washington con-
ference, the bill permits prelimi-
nary construction work on "a new
vessels, includi: g one airplane car
rier, two six-inch gun cruisers, IS
destroyerS and six submarines.
In addition, funds are provided
to continue work on 80 other
ships, to purchase 555 new air
planes, and to increase the en-.
listed personnel by 1000 men.
The President requested $29, $780,.
900 for preliminary work on the

to half, but naval leaders said
work could begin on all these yes.

WEST CHESTER, Pa, April

should never be grateful when

dress which had made a marked
impression today. She added:
1--WE should be resentfuI of

necessary. We should build in
a way that holds hope for the
future"
The First Lady also stated
that 1--WE must make our civili-

S|ROV|CH BILL
LEADS To ROW
At HEARING

Criticism by Mrs. Margaret Hop
kinS Worrell, of the League of the
American Civil Service, of the
Sirovich bill to extend the Civil
Service in Government agencies
today, drew the fire Of the author
Of the proposal Representative
William I. Sirovich CD of New
York.
The controversy occurred at a
hearing on the bill before House
Civil Service Subcommittee, pre-
sided over by Representative Siro'
Vich.
Mrs. Worrell argued that to
bring all of the non-civil service
employees into the civil service
through non-competitive examina-
lions would be resented by those
employees who had obtained their
jobs as a result of open-competi-
tive examinations, especially when
many of the regular employees are
receiving smaller salaries than the
new ones.
She also criticized the provision
in the measure which would set up
a board of appeals to which en-
ployes might take their grievances,
composed of a representative OF
the agency in which the employe
involved works, a member Of the
employees union in the class in
which the worker is employed and
a representative of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission. She advocated
an independent board of appeals.
After she opposed several other
features of the bill, Representa-
tive Sirovich made a lengthy adj
dress in which he flayed Mrs.
Worrell'S attitude, branding her
as unfamiliar with the terms OF
the proposal and as seeking to
get herself appointed as mem
Der Of the proposed board OF ap-
pealS.
The subcommittee chairman as
serted:
"Any Government emplOye
who does not join an employees
union is antisOcial."
Mrs. Worrell retorted that while
she does doubt integrity of the
chairman with respect to his ad-
vocacy Of this bill:
"You have been sold on the
wrong bill.'

said they had in their possession

were any of the voices raised as
though in anger.
Police in checking Bolte's state
ment that he was not guest at
the Wharton apartment estab-
lished he had been driven home
from the dinner party of law
students by Carl Schlicter and his
wife, who also attended the gath
ering.
Wife Sees Him Fall
He had just inserted his key in
the lock of the door when Towards
shots rang out behind him, and
just as he fell Mrs. Bolte, who
had heard her husband enter and
was waiting to greet him opened
the door.
She told officers Howard took
several steps toward the outside
entrance of the building, placed
his revolver to his head and fired.
He died instantly.
Police Immediately began a
check on all residents in the build
ing in which Bolte lived on the
theory that Towards companion
at the tragic Wharton dinner
might reside there and that Bolte
was mistaken for the other guest.
Police declared that one year
ago, under the name of Paul War,
Wharton was involved in a dia-
mond theft. One of the terms Of
the probation on which he was
placed at that time was he must
not drive an automobile.
Often Borrowed Car
It was said that for this reason
he often borrowed the car of the
man known to Mrs. Wharton as
Billy" and identified by police as
Howard, using Howard as his
chauffeur.
On the desk in Wharton's
apartment were found piles of
papers showing the young de-
signer recently had submitted
many bids to studios seeking to
create costumes for the film
stars.
Police said, however, that of
recent months Wharton's design
ing business had slumped consid-
erably.
Prior to his adoption by Mrs.

the adopted son of Mr.. and MIS-.

who died shortly after they &C.
companied their foster son to
