For the first time on record, it
is believed. a nun today was ad'
mitted to the practice of law be-
fore the Supreme Court of the
United States. Sister Ann Joa-
chin, a Diminican, of Adrian,
Mich, took the oath with other ap-
plicants shortly after noon.
Accompanied by two-Score other
nuns clad in the black-and-white
habits of the Dominican order,
Sister Ann proved a difficult sub
ject for newsmen and photogra-
pliers when the religious refused to
identify their legalistic member.
Efforts of the sisters to shield Sis
ter Ann from the camera lens, how
ever, revealed her identity.
A graduate of Detroit College OF
Law in 1928, Sister Ann won q
masters degree at the University
of Detroit in 1924 and practiced
law there until she entered the
order in 1923. Loyola University
of Chicago awarded Sister Ann the
degree of master of arts in 1888,
and she since has been doing grad

HOUSE RULE
F0RACT|0N
ON REPEAL
DELAYED
Roosevelt Stand Told
BY Rep. Ramspeck,
Urging CeIIer Bill

After being informed President
Roosevelt favors repeal of the
married persons clause" of the
economy act, the House Rules
Committee today postponed &C"
ton on the resolution to grant
a special rule for House consid-
Grafton of a bill for this purpose.
Revelation of the position Of
the President came from Repre-
sentative Robert Ramspeck CD
of Georgia. chairman of the
House Civil Service Committee,
as he testified before the rules
group, urging adoption of the
resolution. He said:
81 was notified by one of the
Presidents secretaries today the
President approves this bill to
repeal the married persons
clause"
COCHRAN OPPOSES BILL
Mr.. Ramspeck was joined in
asking for the rule by Repre-
sentative Emanuel Celler CD Of
New York, author of the bill,
which would prohibit a man and
wife from working in the Govern
ment service if their combined
salaries total more than $4,000.
Representative John j. Cochran
CD of Missouri, author of the
original married persons clause.
bitterly opposed the bill as we'll as
the granting of the rule.
Mr.. Celler told the committee
that the clause should be elimi.
mated because it sets up a qualifi.
cation under civil service in oppo.
sition to the merit system. He
said:
Injecting this qualification
(the marital status) is just the
same as injecting a qualification
relative to race or creed"
DISCRIMINATION HIT
He also told the committee that
although the clause is applicable
to 1903 persons. only 400 have left
the service because of this quail.
fication.
Mr.. Celler also said "this dis
elimination does not apply in the
legislative branch nor the unclas.
sified personnel" He related:
1.-TWO former Speakers of the
House have had their wives
working, and it seems to me that
if you are going to apply such a
practice on the lower salaries
groups you should apply it to the
higher Salaried groups also
whether in the legislative, un-
classified, or any other branch
of the service"
Mr.. Cellers made the further
observation that this "discrimina-
ton" has been applied almost ex-
clusively in the lower.salaried
range.
Although the purpose of the
clause was to spread employment,
Mr.. Cellers said. this objective has
not E2en obtained.
Held Marriage Curb
Representative Ramspeck told
the committee that his main OBJ
lection to the clause is that it is
a curb on marriage"
He pointed out that many
young men and women, both of
whom work in the Federal SER
vice, desire to get married but do
not only because they cannot live
on only one salary and are afraid
one will lose his job because of
this clause.
