HOLE. MER|TPLAN|
CALLED gesture"
Roosevelt "Yardstick" for
Hiring Future Employees
Hit by Republicans.
BY Il e Associated Press.

BY II Associated Press.
A suggestion by President Roose-
welt that merit system ''yardstick" be
used on future employees of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation was fol-
lowed by Republican charge last
night that it was "a meaningless
gesture"
In a prepared statement, the Re-
publican Congressional Committee
said the Presidents letters to Henry
B. Mitchell. president Of the Civil
Service Commission. and John H.
Fahey. chairman of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board, constitute merely
another meaningless gesture toward
the merit system of civil service en-
ployment."
The Presidents suggestion, which
both Mitchell and Fahey said they
would accept, would not affect 16,078
present employees of the H. o. L. c..
the Bank Board, and the Federal
Savings and Loan Insurance Corp.
but any new employees would be drawn
from civil service.
"1naSmuch as the II. .. l.. Z. is
dismissing employees rather than TAX
ing them on" the Republican state
-ment said, "the futility of the gesture
becomes quite apparent.
The Civil Service Commission said
it would arrange conferences within
the next week or 10 days" with OFF,
cials of the organizations affected to
discuss administrative details"
President Roosevelt asserted in both
his letters that congressional action
would be necessary to give present
employees classified" status under the
Civil Service.
n preparation for such a move, one
commission official said today, Civil
Service experts may soon make a
classification survey of the agencies
involved. Such a survey would re.
organize the agencies along lines con-
forming to merit system standards
thereby expediting transfer to a clas-
sified status in the event of congress
sional action.
The Republicans said the step was
campaign move.
"The New Deal has been so severely
criticized for Farleyizing the Gov.
ernment service that its leaders feal
the resentment of . the voters next
FALL the committee said.

CHEMISTS ANALYzE
FATAL SIL0 GAS
Three Victims of Farm Tragedy
Will Be Buried Today
in Family Plot.

The gas which killed a mother and
her two daughters in a Popular
Springs, Nd, silo tragedy was being
analyzed today by Agriculture Depart
ment chemists while the victims Of
the deadly fumes were being buried.
Funeral services for Mrs. Ella Malin-
da Richards: Anna, 9. her daughter,
and Mary Sine. 19 her foster daughter,
were to be held at Popular Springs,
with burial in the Richards family plot
at Mountain Falls, near Winchester,

The two older women were killed
in an attempt to rescue Anna, who had
fallen into an ensilage pit.
The Agriculture Department is
analyzing the gas as a step toward
preventing further deaths from the
same cause. DR.. D. J. Price, chief
chemical engineer of the Bureau Of
Chemistry and Soils. said the deaths
probably were due to suffocation
rather than to poisoning.

RELIEF OUTLAWS
UPHELD BY LEWIS
Representative Says World
Owes a Man Chance to
Make Living.
By the Associated Press.


MYERSDALE, Md, September s.
Representative David j. Lewis, Demo-
crat, of Cumberland, said last night
that upon the Nations industrial
order rests the responsibility. of so
administering the employment asset
that any man willing and competent
to work may secure a just share Of
the employment available"
THE world does not owe a man a
living, but it does owe him a chance
to make a living" Lewis said in an
address at the Myersdale home
coming celebration.
Lewis said that the relief work
done by the Government might have
been done better" but it was seldom
that things were perfect the first
time they were undertaken. Relief
costs in the United States, he said,
were "far below" those in Germany
and Great Britain.
II find that during a 3-year period
of comparison, in terms of population,
England expended S10,815, 100000;
Germany expended S15,968 $50, 900.
as compared with an expenditure of
Sc, sos ,356,775 in the United States,
including city, county. State and Fed
eral contributions, for these great
purposes Of public relief" Lewis said.

Talks of "Integrated Economy"
In two extemporaneous addresses
in Springfield, Ill, yesterday, the
omy" and declared the credit of the
United States was on a "Sounder
basis" than ever before in history.
Facing crowd on the lawn Of
Gov. Henry Horner's executive man
sion, the Chief Executive asserted
droughtS could not be prevented. but
farm economy could be so adjusted
the soil so future rainless periods
would result in less suffering.
Declaring this calls for planning"
| to raise farm purchasing power, he
said:
In the same way, if the people in
the cities can be kept busy with
plenty of work at better wages-not
good wages but better wages-it
means that they will have more
money to buy beef and pork and lots
of other things
After pause for applause, he con-
| tinued:
so you see that we have what has
been called integrated economy-an
| economy that ties in every part of
the Nation. 1t ties in the East with
! the Middle West and the Middle
West with the Far West. 1t ties in
the North with the South because,
for example, if the Southern cotton
farmer gets a good crop and gets
decent price for his crop he will be
able to buy whole lot of things that
are manufactured in the State of Il.

Nationalistic Trend Noted.

Of this. The country is becoming ma.
tionalistic in the best sense of the
word and not in the exclusive sense Of

We don't want to build a wall
around ourselves and have no trade
with any other nation in the world.
What We are getting is a national
point of view in that We are appreci-
ating in each section the problems Of
