OMAN FIRING
ATTACKEDBY
A.F.G. f.
BY ]. EARLE MOSER

From indications that have de-
veloped during the last few days,
q fight to the finish is looming
between the American Federation
of Government Employees and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
over dismissalS of personnel in
the latter agency.
According to employees in j. Ed
gar Hoover'S unit, a number Of
workers have been discharged re-
Gently in the Investigation tech.
meal section, allegedly because
their efficiency ratings were not
up to scratch.
The A. F. G. E. lodge in the
Omen office, however, is up in
arms over the matter because, &C
cording to officers of the organi.
cation, the diSmisSals have almost
invariably fallen on the shoulders
Of those active in the union. Al
though they have not made a for
NAL charge, lodge members in the
corridors of the Department of
Justice declare the belief that In
vestigation has gone into union
discrimination" in a large way
and are wondering if administra-
tive officials have decided they
have not the right to organize
and bargain collectively.
The matter has not as yet been
placed officially with the national
office of the A. F. G. E., although
that unit and the Investigation
lodge, No. 81. have been in con-
slant touch. IncenSed at tn
most recent firing, in which an A,
F. G. E. member was asked to
submit his resignation" a com.
mittee of the organization recently
invaded the office Of Attorney
General Cummings and asked
that it be allowed to receive a
decision from him in regard to
a protest submitted several days
before.
After waiting more than an
hour, the committee met Mr.. Cum
mings as he was leaving his office
and was told that he had had the
protest papers on his desk for sew.
eral days but had been very busy
recently" and would give the lodge
a statement within "few days"
In answer to the union members
request that their charges receive
a formal hearing the Attorney
General said he would either grant
such a hearing or else would de-
eide the union has mo case," de-
pending upon his decision after
peruSing the protest.
At a meeting Wednesday eve
ming at the Odd Fellows Hall, the
lodge decided to await Mr.. Cum
mings' action, although several
members desired to know how
long a few days might extend.
Publicity on the affair was ia
booed. David r. Glass, charter
president of the A. F. G. E., told
the lodge that the national office
would be glad to take up the
fight but that in such case it must
be given full authority to conduct
the battle in its own manner. 1.-THE
national office has never receded
from the rule Of defending union
principles" he said.

ORCHESTRA ASKS
$10,0DOFOR BARGE
Funds Needed to Continue
Series of "Sunset
Symphonies"

The newly-formed Washington
Summer Concerts Association, Inc,
today issued an appeal for funds to
construct barge. such as was used
by the National Symphony Orchestra
last year, on which it is planned to
present a series of sunset symphonies"
at the water gate of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge, beginning next
month.
In a statement, the association.
which was formed by members of the
National Symphony Orchestra of the
1856 season following the orches-
ira associations abandonment of plans
for Summer concerts, asked immediate
cooperation in a drive for approx
mately $4,000, the estimated cost of
building shell and platform.
The association pointed out that
once this shell is constructed, such
an appeal will not be necessary in
future years because it will be built
in such q way that it can be dis
mantled in sections and stored from
year to year.
"The great success of last Summers
concerts, which placed the City of
Washington in the center Of the mu-
sical world, demands that we con-
tinue," the statement said. It IS
planned to give the concerts on a
basis identical with that In use by
the members of the Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra, who control
and manage their own concerts each
Summer in Robin Hood Dell.
At the same time, the association
announced the following conductors
have consented to direct concerts in
this series: Antonia Brico, Alfred
Wallenstein, Willem van Hoogstraten,
Sylvan Levin, Fabien Sevitsky, Henry
Hadley, Nicolai Sokolof and Rudolph
Ringwall.
The association also is negotiating
with Rose hampton, Helen Jepson,
Paul Whiteman, Jacques Gordon, the
Winslow Dancers, George Gershwin
and John Powell to appear as soloists.
The association, headed by Thomas
J. Mullikin, maintains Offices in the
District National Bank Building, 1406
G street.

VERDICT ACCEPTED
BY M'NAMARA
Slayer of Cook Decides MOI
to Petition for New
Trial.

Martin Mcnamara. 81. convicted
slayer of John Mikedis, chef in a K
street cafe, announced through his
attorneys today that he would accept
his manslaughter sentence without
petitioning for new trial.
The pale Petersburg CVa) youth,
whose demeanor and testimony
aroused the sympathy even of prose-
cutting officials, faces a maximum
prison term of from 3 to IS years. He
probably will be sentenced q week
from tomorrow.
After celebrating for an hour and
20 minutes late yesterday, District
Supreme Court jury convicted the
youth. Mikedis, cook at the Liberty
Cafe. 804 K street, where the de-
fendant's estranged wife, Ruth, also
worked, was shot last March IA.
Although the indictment on which
he was tried charged first degree
murder, the instructions with which
Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue gave
the case to the jury permitted ver-
diets of not guilty or guilty of first or
second degree murder or manslaughter
When the jury announced ITS ver-
dict, the defendant swayed and a
look Of relief crossed his gaunt and
therefore expressionless face. He
shook hands with his attorneys, Frank
]. and E. Russell Kelly, who had
saved him from the electric chair.
The Government contended Mikedis
was struck by a stray bullet as the
defendant sought to kill Mrs. Nc
Namara and Samuel j. Ally, cafe
proprietor, of whom he was jealous
Mcnamara steadfastly maintained
that his revolver was accident
ally discharged after he drew it
to commit suicide in front of his
wife who had refused to return to
him.
Mcnamara was the pricipal witness
in his own behalf, his counsel stalking
their case on the sympathy they felt
his story would arouse in the jurors
He told Of marrying Mrs. McNa-
mara, who was a year older than him
self, when he was 16. A year later
she left him to come to Washington
Then she asked him for q divorce, and
desperate In his desire to persuade
her to come back to him he hitch
