RAMSPECK PLANS
DRIVE FOR BILLS
Several Measures Affecting
U. S. Employees Listed
for Consideration.
BY WILL p. KENNEDY,

Legislation affecting Government
employees is to be pressed earnestly in
the next session of Congress. Chair
man Ramspeck of the House Civil
Service Committee said today follow
ing his tour of Federal employe con-
ventions.
just before the close of the last
session, Ramspeck introduced two
bills: One to cover into the retirement
system various groups not now in
cluded, and the other at the request
of the Civil Service Commission to
change salary rates in the sub-pro-
fessional and custodial services. The
retirement bill specifically excerpts en-
ployes of the lighthouse service, men,
bers of the Police and Fire Depart
ments of the District of Columbia,
fourth-class postmasters and such
groups as may be excluded by execu-
tive order.
Chairman Ramspeck said that not
only will this general retirement bill
come up for early committee con-
sideration, but he intends to throw
the entire subject of retirement open
for extensive study.
5-Day Week Action Seen.
Also scheduled by Ramspeck for
prompt action in the coming session
is the Mccormack bill to establish a
five-day week for Federal employees.
He has been making a careful study
Of this measure and has gone into it
thoroughly with its sponsors, spokes-
men for large groups and some of
the more prominent administrative
officers, particularly those with large
number Of workers and those whose
functions might suffer in emergency
needs through the operation of the
proposed flve-day week Before Con-
gress reconvenes he expects to have
several conferences with Representa-
tive Mccormack of Massachusetts,
sponsor of the bill, and with others
urging its passage.
Action also is expected early in the
session on the legislation to extend
the classified civil service. Hearings
on this bill were rather exhaustive
during the last session and Chairman
Ramspeck and other members of the
committee predicted the bill would
pass in redrafted form. He held it
up. however, when the President urged
action on his reorganization program
in the House, because one. of the four
measures into which the reorganiza-
ton program was divided covered
practically the same objective.
Bill Passed by House.
The Presidents bill, sponsored by
Representative Meade of New York.
to extend the classified civil service.
was passed by the House Representa-
tive Ramspeck expects his committee
to give some attention to the subject,
as soon as it can be learned what the
President proposes to do by executive
order.
The bill to place first, second and
third class postmasters under civil
service, when the present term of post
masters expires, which has been held
up in the Senate by Senator Mcclellan.
is occupying Ramspeck's attention dur
ing the recess period. He has attacked
the Senator's stand in the employees
conventions at Toledo, Kansas CITY
and Philadelphia. He also proposes to
take the issue into Senator McKellar's
home State with speech at Nash
vile late In September.

 The Davids, bedecked with boards and some with flowing hair, present one of the biggest oddities in the entire sporting world. Nobody will dispute the validity of their claim of being the most unique attraction in baseball today. The team Is an annual visitor in many cities and through e fortunate booking they come to Waterbury tomorrow. No matter where they have played the fans are always to have them re- turn. The sight of men who look as though they were 1t subjects for an undertaken scampering around e ball diamond like kids or major leagures, never seems to wear of. The appearance of age is in the boards only as here Is without Q question of doubt the fastest team that has ever been ct Hamilton Park. Many of them have had op. portunites to play major league ball, but their religion forbids them to shave their boards of.
 The lights that will be used for this game are also e part of the equipment of this team. It will be the same lighting apparatus used in Hartford ct the savitt Gems field, one of the largest in this state, and thereby assures Waterburians of be- ing able to enjoy the game as If it were under the bright sun, the equal and even better han the last set used here with the Buck Lai Hawaiians.
