D. c. RED CROSS
DRIVE SPURTS

Red Cross enrollments in the
District passed the 1880 mark
today as 1000 persons signed
cards before noon.
The squirt led Red Cross Off
Gals to predict that this would
be the busiest day Of the drive.
At headquarters, six tellers were
kept busy. The tellers were volun-
teerS from the Washington Loan
and Trust Company, Riggs Bank,
and The American Security and
Trust Company.
A preliminary report of the Red
Cross roll call supply department
revealed more than half million
supplies have been counted, en-
closed in envelopes, addressed and
delivered.
The professional group was re-
ported responding we'll with 100
per cent enrollments. Six or
CARNATIONS joined this class this
morning.
Natives and tourists consumed
$2O.45 worth of Steve Vasilako's
peanuts and popcorn and the Red
Cross was that much richer today.
Steve, who runs the stand in the
shadow of the White House. an
nually donates two days receipts
to the Red Cross. He vas dis
appointed this year, he said. The
rain kept business down.

Treasury Cancels
Rule Against Hiring
Of Married Aides
Section 2I3 Victims
No Longer Barred

Good news broke today for nu-
merous victims Of Section 213, the
widely publicized marriage
clause" with announcement by
the Treasury Department that 1t
would no longer refuse appoint
ment to persons having another
family member in the Govern
ment service.
Since Congress repealed the
marriage clause. many victims Of
the outlawed economy act legisla-
ton had been disappointed in ef'
forts to obtain reappointment at
Treasury, which separated large
percentage of those coming within
Section 213's Jurisdiction.
HELD TO OLD RULE
Although Civil Service regula-
tions allow two persons in the
same family to hold appointments
within the service, the Treasury
Department until today had
abided by an order emanating
from the national emergency
council in 1885, in which heads of
agencies were instructed to hire
only those without relatives on
Federal pay rolls.
The order, attributed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, was effected to
spread employment farther dur
ing the emergency born of the
depression.
CAN REGAIN JOBS
Resembling Of the order today
means that approximately 80
women formerly employed with
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing are eligible for reap.
pointnent when Director Alvin
Hall finds need for them, provid-
ing they can still qualify for the
work they formerly did. Other
Treasury bureaus are also affected
by the annulment.

Police Feud Hinted
In Asylum Larceny
1ROW Seen OUtgrOWth
Of Matthews Case

Hint of a feud between the ad-
ministratiVe and investigating
branches of the Police Department
was seen today in a case in which
a washington policeman was per-
mitted to continue on duty several
hours after q Grand Jury indicted
him on a larceny charge.
The policeman, Willie James
Matthews, was charged about
week ago with larceny from the
United States, in connection with
the disappearance Of quantities of
food from ST. Elizabeths Hospital.
Once suspended from duty, Mat
thews had his job restored in Pc.
lice Court when it was found that
there was not sufficient evidence
Of his guilt.
Yesterday, the Grand Jury in
dicted Matthews shortly after
noon, but administrative officers
pointed out that he was permitted
to continue on duty as a policeman
until his days trick" ended at 4
p. m.
Explaining the incident, Assist
ant Superintendent L. I. H. Ed.
wards stated he had not been IN
formed of Matthews indictment.
Technically, Matthews suspen-
sion would begin at 8 a. m. today
when he reported for duty.

Drama Enters Into
 Shoplifting Cases
Sister of Bridgeport Girl Pleas for Leniency After Judge Imposes 30 Days Terms on Her, Companion

Drama in the form of an excited young woman entered today's ses- sion of city court to have two young Bridgeport girls saved from 30 days jail sentences which had been impos- ed by Judge John F. McGrath after they had pleaded guilty to charges of shoplifting. The cases have been continued for investigation by Miss Kathleen Crowley, juvenile probation officer.
 Judge McGrath had heard the charges against the two girls, Anna Chiatroni, 23, of 26 Tom Thumb street, and Helen Gerrignani, g, of TAO Norman Street extension, Bridgeport and imposed the sen- tences. Suddenly from the rear of the courtroom @ neat appearing and pretty young girl, Clara Gerrignani, by name, rushed toward the bench and pleaded, "Your honor, can't you please suspend those Sentences2"
 The girl then followed with the information that she was sister of one of the girls and that both have never been involved in any previous trouble. She said both were from good families, had worked steadily and if given chance would prove their gratitude by future ex- emplary living. Judge McGrath lis- tened to the plea and then re-stated what he had been told by Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers-that the merchants of Waterbury must be protected from shoplifters. Prosecutor Meyers said that at about this time-and continuing to Christmas-the local store-owners are bothered consider ably by shoplifters. He reiterated such action must be squelched.
 Convinced py the girls almost- fearful pleas, Judge McGrath then

revoked the sentence, and continued the case pending Miss crowley's in- vestigation. Miss Crowley started her check immediately after today's session of court and found there are nine children in one of the accuseds families and eight in an- other. She will continue her in- vestigation with the cooperation of Joseph Mcconnell, probation officer of Bridgeport city court.
 The girls were arrested Saturday afternoon in the store of W. T. Grant, by Detective Lieutenants Connie Shannahan and Edward Me- Elligott, after they had been appre-
