When the weather got hot, the

put up the 81 or SO cents month. There is
a deplorable situation among Presidents in this
country. Regardless of how much prosperity we
have we doubt if industry will ever be able to
absorb all Of the unemployed Presidents.

bringing this matter up was Alfred P. Sloan.

and accomplished nothing, so he saw no reason,
being a busy man, to confer with her again.

The present bill, which the President signed
just before the zero hour Tuesday midnight, was
approved with great restraint.
"It contains" said the President, "meritorious
provisions and registers moderate and limited
advance into field which calls for further and
more complete exploration"
The President listed omissions in the bill which
included:
1. It leaves entirely untouched any method Of
relieving the burden now imposed on the Supreme
Court
2. It does not touch the problem Of aged and
infirm judges who fail to take advantage of the
opportunity accorded them to retire or resign on
full pay.
3. It provides for no flow of new blood to any
of the Federal benches. "An of these are OBJ

would get one of these little 1O0lnile railroads
completed he would go up to New York and
offer to exchange courtesies with the New York

BILLS SHUNTED
TONEW SESSION
Pay, Civil Service
Measures Wait

A final check-up Of the Senate
Civil Service Committees docket
today revealed that much impor-
tant legislation relating to Gov
eminent personnel was shunted
aside in this past session Of Con-
gress to remain pending at the
next session.
Included in the measures en-
acted into law were three Of some
Importance. Perhaps the biggest
lift given to Government employees
was the repeal Of Section 21S OF
the Economy Act. This action re-
moves the restriction against both
husband and wife holding Gov
eminent positions. The other two
measures were the provision al
lowing certain employees Of the
legislative branch to enjoy retire
ment privileges and the require
ment Of q certificate Of a years
residence in a particular domicile
to accompany application for a
Government position.
PAY BILL LEFT
There remains on the books the
matter Of increased pay for Gov
eminent employees.
Early IN the past session Sena-
tor Pat McCarran CD of Ne
vada, introduced a bill that would
have set $500 as the minimum
salary for full.time adult employees.
The measure also carried increases
in all grades up to 5000.
This bill was stopped in the
committee by a letter from the
Budget Bureau. In its place in
closing days of the session Rep
reSentative Robert Ramspesk Cd
of Georgia introduced a meas
ure setting $1,000 as the minimum
salary.
OTHER BILLS WAIT
Other bills which await action
are: Three providing for the grant.
ing Of annuities to widows Of Gov
eminent employees; a bill to create
a Civil Service board OF appeals;
two bills extending the civil Serv.
ice system to first. second and
third class postmasters; a bill pro-
viding for the transfer of legisla-
tive employees to other branches
Of the Government with noncom-
petitive examinations and a bill
introduced by Senator Logan CD
Kentucky, for extension of the
civil service system to all Govern
ment employees in all branches of
the Government up to those posi-.
tons directly accountable for
policy making.

For number of weeks the
county have been focused on
this little city and the signs
that might have cast their
shadows as to what direction
n e votes would be found
travelling when the polls opened
ON the 18th, of July. Rumors
flew thick and fast that the
powerful county Democratic
Machine had enlisted every
ward healer on its payroll to
get the vote out on election
day and to see TIT those who
voted should scratch under the
correct" emblem supporting
the Citizens Ticket. With this
information broadcast through
out the vicinity little hope was
held for the nominees of the
Peoples Ticket. The past
characteristics Of the steam
roller" had so flattened SO many
of us IN It's past endeavor to
smooth out t he political
rinkles of our political
stomachs" that we held IN high
esteem the fortitude and brave
ry of those men who allowed
their names to be entered on
the Peoples Ticket as its stand
ard bearers but we quetioned
seriously their judgment. We
are glad that we were wrong in
advising some of them to throw
up the sponge before the con-
testants really entered t h
ring. We thought surely after
a training neriod of two years
