PRESSES MEASURE
ON CIVIL SERVICE
Ramspeck Seeks Vote on
Extension Following G. 0. P.
Merit Stand.

Chairman Ramspeck of the House
Civil Service Committee announced
today he would seek House approval
next week of his bill to extend the
classified civil service throughout all
branches of the Federal Government.
The measure was favorably re-
ported from Ramspeck's committee
May 81, and indications are the House
may act on it without delay in view
of the action of the Republican Ma
tional Convention in Cleveland in
adopting merit system plank in its
platform.
Ramspeck pointed out there are
numerous agencies of the Government
which were created by Congress and
the acts creating them exempted the
employees from the civil service act and
the classification act. Attorney Cen
eral Cummings, he explained, also has
ruled that in such cases no authority
exists for bringing these employees into
the civil service by executive order.
The purpose of Ramspeck's bill Is
to give authority to the President to
bring such groups into the classified
civil service by executive order.
Ramspeck said the committee felt
the President should have this author
ity in order that such of the agencies
as may be considered permanent can
be brought into the classified civil
service by executive order.
No person, however, could acquire
a civil service status under the bill
except through an open competitive
examination.

VETERANS MARK
HOMES" PASSING
Rev. and Mrs. ]. ]. QuealIy
Guests of Honor at
Celebration.

The passing of the Washington
Veterans Home at 1926 Pennsylvania
avenue, born in the dark days Of
depression and due to die a natural
death Tuesday with relative pros
perity, payment Of the veterans
bonus, was celebrated last night by
about go veterans to whom the home
has been just that.
AS guests of honor the veterans
had Rev. John j. Queally Of the
TRANSPORTATION Episcopal Church and
Mrs. J. c. Steed, who has come to
be known as Mother" Steed among
the men she has devoted so much
time to. even to cooking and baking
for them when she could.
Had Beginning in 1882.
The home had its beginning back
in '32, before the more famous bonus
march. when ragged, hungry veterans
struggled into Washington, hoping
somehow to secure payment Of their
adjusted compensation certificates.
When Rev. Mr.. Queally saw some of
them so hungry they were conbing
trash cans in search of food, he
thought something ought to be done
about it. 1t was a sight, he recalls
now, that you could never forget"
The Government furnished the
building. The roof leaked and the
walls were full of holes and the floor
was mostly mud, but the veterans did
not mind. There were men of every
trade among the first group to take
possession of the home and soon it
was habitable.
From then on life was a struggle,
but the veterans managed somehow.
Those who got jobs turned in what
they made to buy food for those who
had none, and for four years no vet
eran has been turned away when
there was so much as an inch of
room. Records were kept until the
visitors list got too big, but the men
estimate that more than 10000 vet
Grams have found shelter.
Farewell Banquet" Last Night.
Summing up at the farewell "ban-
quet" last night, it was found that
many of the veterans have jobs here.
others have promises of jobs when
they reach their homes. Payment
of the bonus will provide railroad
fare for the latter to get home. For
most. prospects were brighter than in
many year.
Even Bonus" the mongrel pup
one of the veterans rescued from the
nearby canal, has been provided with
a haven in the counry in anticipation
of the home closing. When the mail
man distributes the bonus bonds and
cash at the home Tuesday, and the
veterans scatter to the four winds,
the doors will close on the home.
which for the veterans has outlived
its usefulness.
