b|LLSPASS
SENATE QUICKLY;
SHIFT To HOUSE
Unanimous Endorsement Is
Granted Plan to Grant
26 and IS Days.
OVERTIME WORK PAY
YET TO BE WORKED OUT
Logan Measure to Put All Agen.
cies in Civil Service Is Again
Postponed.
BY ], A, O'LEARY,

The Senate unanimously passed the
Government employees leave bills this
afternoon, and sent them back to
the House for action on amendments.
The House may concur in the
changes or ask for a conference. but
IN either event the expectation at
the Capitol is that the measure,
which has been tied up in the Senate
since last session. will go through now.
One bill increases the annual leave
from IS days to 26 days, exclusive of
Sundays and holidays, and allows
unused leave to be accumulated up to
limit of 60 days. The House bill
would have restored annual leave to
80 days, exclusive of Sundays and
holidays, and an allowance of 100
days on cumulative leave. The other
bill reduces sick leave from 80 to Is
days, with the same limitation of so
days on the accumulation Of unused
leave. The aouse measure would
have allowed the 120-day accumula-
tipn of sick leave also.
No Resistance Met.
When the bills were reached on the
call of the calendar today, they went
through without word OF debate, the
objections of Senator McKellar of
Tennessee having been met by the
amendments agreed TO in the Senate
Civil Service Committee last week.
One of the Senate changes strikes
from the House bill the provision un-
der which overtime work could have
been added to annual leave, but the
committee announced several days ago
it favored a further study later of
some method of compersating en-
ployes for overtime.
Another amendment postpones the
effective date of the leave changes
until July /. Under the House bill
the date was July !, 1885.
Deadlock Ended.
The leave bills passed the House last
August, but failed to come TO a vote
in the Senate before adjournment.
Since Congress returned last month
they again have been objected to,
until the Civil Service Committee. in
conference with Senator McKellar,
worked out the compromise which
proved acceptable to him and brought
about today's favorable action in the
Senate.
Several other civil service bills that
have met with Senate opposition in
the past were objected to again to-
day by various Senators, and post
poned One was the Logan bill to
place all positions in the executive
branch of the Government until civil
service and to require those holding
non-civil service jobs to take nom
competitive examination. Another bill
postponed was the measure seeking to
prohibit Government employees from
seeking political support in obtaining
promotions.

SECOND CHOICE
RULE HITS B0RAH
Landon's Friends May Want
Kansan on Idahoan's
Slate in Ohio.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The problem of naming a second
choice" for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination in the Ohio primary
is giving the supporters of Senator
Borah of Idaho food for thought.
The Ohio primary law specifically
states that all candidates for delegate
to the national party conventions in
the primary must state on ballots
their first and second choices for the
presidential nomination.
Friends Of Gov Alf M. Landon of
Kansas, who also are supporters of
Senator Borah, it was reported today,
believe it would be advantageous to
have Landon go on the Borah delegate
slate as second choice. If there is
any such plan, however, Senator
Borah knows nothing of it, he said
today. Furthermore, some of the
Borah supporters insist the suggestion
is "out of the question"
Democrats Solve Problem.
The Democrats have solved the
problem of first and second choice for
the presidential nomination in the
Ohio primary by putting President
Roosevelt forward as their first choice
and Vice President Garner as second
choice.
If Gov Landon's name is to be used
in the Ohio primary, either as first or
second choice, he has to give his as
sent in writing. Whether Gov. Lam
don would be willing to give such as
sent for second choice when he is
clearly candidate for the presidential
nomination was another question.
1t might be expected that the Borah
people would prefer to have their Sec
ond choice in Ohio a man who would
be entirely favorable to the nomina-
ton of Senator Borah. If that were
the case, it was said today, they might
put forward Representative Fish of
New York. an ardent supporter of
Senator Borah, who has, for the time
being anyway, sunk his own presiden-
tial aspirations in favor of the Ida
hoan.
Amy selection of second choice
by the Borah people in Ohio might
be construed as preference on their
part for a vice presidential candidate
