While the Frightening economic
scene was cheering to speculative and

New Bill of Rights.

Representative Kent Keller of Illinois
championed the cause of Washington
school teachers against Mr.. Blanton's
Infamous QUESTIONABLE when he ap-
peared at the special meeting of the
school board, called to discuss that
historic document, and told the teachers
to disregard it.
In one of the final issues of the
Congressional Record Appendix for the
past session Mr.. Keller has inserted a
complete case history of the question:
naire and its cousin, the Little Red
Rider" and winds up with a seven
point bill Of rights for Washington
school teachers which he promises per-
sonally to sustain. Against that time Of
future stress and strain. this bill OF
rights" might be clipped out and saved
for future reference. Its main pro-
visions follow:
/. Mr.. Blanton shall not, with my
consent or acquiescence, place the school
teachers of the District of Columbia on
trial without at least producing war
rant to justify his actions"
2. II serve notice on Mr.. Blanton that
Evening star., 1936-07-13
the red rider must 60, and that there

the red rider must 60, and that there
shall be no more questionnaires."
3. Il serve notice on Mr.. Blanton and
any supporters he may have that any
attempt to continue the present political
interference in the schools Of the District
of Columbia, or to extend that influence,
will meet with every possible resistance
of which I am capable"
4. He shall not insinuate charge
against the teachers or members Of the
school board without stating it clearly,
so its truthfulness shall be put to the
test"
S. He shall not establish any inquisi-
tion before which to bring any school
teacher, without the full authority of
this House legally granted"
s. He shall not be permitted to fur
ther bluff and bulldoze the teachers
under the pretense that his member
ship in this body gives him any right,
power or authority further to persecute
them, without denunciation of his pre-
tension on the floor of this House"
Z. He shall not apply any religious
test without challenge of his right or
any mans right to do that thing for
hidden by the Constitution"

Beneficial Changes.

Merit system extensions in the past
have been accomplished mainly through
the 'blanketing in" process, under
which the President brings a Govern
ment establishment into the civil service
by executive order. An executive order
just issued by the President and pro-
mulgated by the Civil Service Commits
sion is designed to improve this process
by establishing certain standards, hith-
erto lacking. The Presidents order
should remove some of the political OBJ
jections raised against the "blanketing
in" process of the past.
One of these objections has been that
President, about to take leave of Office,
protects his partisans appointed to the
Government service outside of civil serv-
ice by "blanketing in" those partisans
and giving them a civil service status.
The Presidents executive order yester-
day requires that no employe may be
"blanketed in" until he has served for
at least sixty days. Another require
ment-the most important-is that en-
ployes so covered into the civil service
must pass snon-competitive examinations.
Another is that the employe must be
recommended to the Civil Service Com
mission by the head of the establish
ment.
These are all beneficial changes. Al
though any executive order may be set
aside and superseded by later execu-
tive order, they are changes which
should appeal to any President who sin
cerely desires 10 see the merit system
