Gently found a tree that refused
to be cut down. The tree was
a fair-sized old elm, and the CCC
crew began cutting it about six
inches above the ground. When
the saw cut in about five inches,
it began to bind and would cut
no further. Additional savings
failed in like manner. Finally,
when the tree came down with
a crash, the CCC men found a
large, round stone embedded in
the center Of the stump.
The incident is related in the

MAY GUST
REBELS
BY J. EARLE MOSER

For what is said by some to
be an action that 'let the cat
out of the bag" the American
Federation of Government En-
ployes' ruling administration is
considering suspe din g its
Panama Canal office Lodge.
Charges against the group
have been placed with the execu-
tive council of the employe or
ganizatfon by friends Of E.
Claude Babcock, national presi-
dent, because of a resolution de-
manding that Mr.. Babcock resign
which the lodge passed and
issued to the press.
The resolution, administration
adherents state, was entirely out
Of order, should not have been
made public, and was based on
misstatementS. The fact that 1t
was apparently based on q news
paper story that purported to
give credit for passage Of the
leave bills to the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees
seems to have burned up" rul-
ing A. F. g. e. factions, mas
much as the aforementioned
story also reduced headquarters
of the organization to a seething
state, not wholly unjustifiable.
A. r. G. e. officials are particu-
larry angry at the out-of-line
policy of the Panama Canal
Lodge, which is headed by Cecil
M. MearS and opposed Mr.. Bah
cocks election at the last Sep
TENDER convention, because they
say it hurts the organization
more than any one person. They
point out that the A. F. @. E.
has grown to approximately go.
600 under its current administra-
ton and that despite the feeling
between House Civil Service
Chairman Ramspeck and Mr..
Babcock, legislative appearances
have been amply handled by Col.
Charles I. Stengle, a former Con-
gresham.

City officials here were studying with considerable interest today opinion handed down in Hartford yesterday by Assistant Corporation Counsel Pasquale Ierardi in which he held that persons too poor to pay and also those actually receiv- ing aid from city or state, can be exempted from the state old age as- sistance tax, with residents between 2l and 60 obliged to pay the 8 levy.
 Tn an additional opinion for- warded to Mayor Thomas Spellacy of Hartford, Attorney Terardi held that the mayor cannot delegate his power to abate the tax, but that he can delegate to a committee or board the power of making inves- tigations on which he can base his decision.
 Mir. Ierardi wrote:
 "The question raised is whether the legislators of the statute used the word and for mo- If the word "and" is literally insisted upon, the necessity of the peti- tioner requires him to show that he is not only "too poor to pay" but also that he is receiving aid aS a public charge from the state or Q subdivision thereof.
