FISH
HIS HOBBY

There's one good reason why
Policeman Homer H. Hartman,
the genial director of traffic at
Fourteenth and r SITS. N. W., keeps
his aquarium In the basement OF
his home at 1416 Foxhall Rd. NV.
When he suggested keeping
them in the living room. Mrs.
Homer H. Hartman said:
,tst~ssNO. = 4s9ss~Assss@. ,-.-~- 49, vsass Z
His idea was torun . pipe under
the floor and decorate the living
room with his sword-tailS, guppys
and moons, but Mrs. Hartman had
other ideas.
Policeman Hartman breeds
worms in leaf.mold in the base
ment and keeps daphne in a tank.
both Of which Mrs. Hartman
thinks are lawful to look at"
Nevertheless, he is proud Of his
fish. He thinks they are intell
gent and fun to watch. He does
his best to avoid feeding his fish
family with prepared food, pre-
ferring to give them the best that
Nature herself provides.
So proficiently does he dig up
worms in the garden, Mrs. Hart
mans own hobby, that she is sell
dom obliged to turn up the earth
herself. In his search for worms,
her husband does good job for
her.
Even the basement is q source
Of worry to Mrs. Hartman, who
remarks:
"What with my husbands
fish and my sons airplanes and
boats, it's rather hard to move
around even in the basement"

Astounding Result

Results Of a recent radio poll
conducted by the American Fed
GRAFTON Of Government Employees
to find employees preferences In
regard to the proposed five-day
week Ia Government service have
produced what A. F. G. e. Off
Gals and other critics believe is
an astounding attitude.
OF 259 persons who wrote
answers to the question, $50 were
In favor of continuing on q six.
day basis and working 80 hours
per week rather than working
eight hours q day and taking
off Saturday, which would total
40 hours. The answers give no
reason for the preference and
A. r. G.. e. officials are baffled.
They had assumed that employees
would prefer 40-hour, five-day
week, although both the A. F..
g. E. and N. F. F. e. have pre-
viously announced they would re-
sist any extension Of working
time pending new convention
mandates.
A very good reason for accept
ing the 40-hour week, however,
was received from a post office
employe,. who wrote Claude Bah

These two men, Albert s. Sutton

Two Of these admittedly chief

in the murder indictment with SUIT
ton, Dunn and Ernest Myers, while
jenkins, identified by washington
police as a small time 'racketeer
and gambler, was indicted for con-
spring to murder Mcdonald, and
for carrying concealed weapons.
Cleary turned states evidence
and was instrumental In the con-
viction of Myers Of first degree

weeks ago. Myers was sentenced
to life Imprisonment for his par

sisted Of driving the automobile to

ALEXANDRIANS
WILL INSPECT
P0WERPLANT

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April Is.
More than 100 indignant citizens
damned the city council cham
bers here last night and de-
manded q ''snokeless and cinder-
less" power plant.
An opportunity to thoroughly
inspect the plans proposed by
the Virginia Public Service Com
pany for an addition to its pres
emit plant was granted the citt-
zens by the city council.
Answering demands from the
citizens who declared they could
not sit in their yards, or open
their windows, without being
hailed with .cinders and gagged
with smoke, officials Of the util-
ity declared the equipment they
proposed for their new plant was
the best obtainable to eliminate
cinders and smoke, and that If
better equipment could be bought
that they are willing to consider
other plans.
u. 8. Protests
The citizens said that they had
arranged for engineering experts
to examine the utility's plans and
advise the city without cost as to
whether the plant will produce
smoke and cinderS.
A Federal protest was regis
tered over the utility'S proposal
to erect q 200-foot smokeStack on
the river front. A letter from
Lieut.. Comdr. A. P. Flagg, COM
mander Of the Anacostia Naval
Station, stated such q stack would
prove q serious hazard to the sta
tons test flights of its high speed
planes. An investigation Of the
proposal by the Navy and Com
merce Departments win be made
Immediately, the letter advised.
Among those appearing in OPP
position to any but the best equip
ped plant for Alexandria were r.
A. Silcox, chief Of the United
States Forest Service, who lives at
$40 South Lee st., Alexandria, and
who declared he would "Sell out
and move out Of Alexandria If the
smoke and cinder nuisance was not
corrected" Mrs. Silcox pointed out
that Alexandrians paid almost
twice as much for electric service
as was charged in Washington,
and considered this reason enough
to expect the utility to install the
best equipment.
Rates Also Protested
Others protesting included w.
A. F. Stephenson, head Of the
housing division Of the Public
Works Administration, who ex-
hibited samples from the Govern
ment central heating plant as
proof that the local utility did not
propose to use the best equipment
available to prevent cinders and
dust.
A committee consisting Of the
city manager. city engineer and
three members of the council was
appointed by council to work with
the citizens committee in seeing
that the utility's equipment was
of the type that would eliminate
all cinders and virtually all Of the
smoke. Every detail Of the utility's
plans will be checked by the two
committees.
The citizens committee also
served notice it plans to launch a
fight for reduction of rates.

committee to inspect the plans In

GAIN IN STAFF
LEAVE BILL
RESULT
BY ]. EARLE MosER

When the time comes for their
actual application in full working
order, the new Federal leave bills
may prove q considerable counter
balance against the trend toward
personnel reduction now under
way and gaining force in varied
Government offices.
This was indicated definitely
last night by Alvin w. Hall, direc'
tor Of the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing, as he addressed the
women's union Of his bureau, Lo-
cal 105 Of the National Federation
Of Federal Employees, as 1t cele-
brated both its twenty-seventh
birthday and the success Of the
leave bills.
Mr.. Hall. one Of the few Federal
officials actually beloved by sub
ordinate personnel, revealed that
fiscal obligations imposed by re-
quirementS of the 26-day annual
and 15-day cumulative leave laws
have necessitated Engraving and
Printing to increase its staff by
more than 800 many Of them vet
eral. plate printers who have been
furloughed or working In minor
jobs, and others assistant printers
supplied from Civil Services roll.
And, he added, "it was a real
thrill" to be able to take them on.
In view of the necessary action
at the Bureau, it Is believed other
Federal offices may face similar
problem. While new personnel
needs may not be sufficient to
cause net gain, some curtail.
nnent Of retrenchment reductions
is at least indicated.
Ramspeck Speaks
Another honor guest Of the
event, which took place at the
Washington Hotel, was House
Civil Service Chairman Bob"
RamSpeck, who told his audience
that he'd like to see Uncle Sam
set working standards for the en-.
tire country in his treatment Of
the Federal employee but that
much difficulty is encountered in
the lack Of knowledge in the
States Of actual personnel condi.
tions in Washington. Speaking
particularly in connection with
leave. he said:
1.-THE folks back home don't
understand. They think you re-
ceive sick leave whether you
are sick or not. They forget
that every small absence from
the office is deducted from
leave. At the opening ball game
there were several thousand fans
who are doubtless employed in
business outside the Govern
ment, and every one win get two
weeks off when vacation time
comes"
Mr.. RamSpeck also reiterated a
previous stand on the retirement
question, saying he is unquestion.
ably opposed to passage Of 3Oyear
optional retirement laws without
an age limit. He said that any
reduction Of age limits in retire.
nlent would cost the Government
too much, pointing out that many
workers who enter Federal service
at 10 could retire at 48 If a 80
year, no limit law were passed.
Among those present well
known to employees were John J.
Barrett, Frank Birgfeld and Mrs
Birgfeld, Raymond H. Combs and
