.McCarran's condition is said to
be improving. He is under treat
ment at the Naval Hospital.
Today'S man of mystery seems
to be the newly appointed Civil
Service Commissioner.
Who he is, other than his name
is Samuel H. Ordway, jr.; what
he is, or why he is, seem to be the
questions most frequently asked.
At the Civil Service Commits
sion, where he visited several days
ago, he is strictly an unknown
quantity.
Girls Impressed
The girls there say he is nice
looking, and they were quite i'm
pressed with the sporty suit,
brown suede shoes and pipe which
he exhibited.
However, as to his other likes,
diSlikes or qualification they were
strictly in doubt.
And the Senate which con-
:irmed him was equally in the
dark.
Senator William H. King, CD
of Utah, asked for information re-
garding the appointee, and Sena-
tor Alben w. Barley, CD Of
Kentucky, majority leader, inveS-
tigated. He announced his dis
coverieS as follows:

Stop Getting Up Nights

When kidneys are clogged they be-
come weak-the bladder is irritated-
often passage is scanty and smarts
and burns-sleep is restless and nightly
visits to the bathroom are frequent.
The right safe harmless and inexpen-
sive way to stop this trouble and re-
store healthy action to kidneys and
bladder is to get from any druggist q
35-cent box of Gold Medal Eaarlem
Oil Capsules and take as directed

symptoms of kidney and bladder

Printers assistants at the bu-
reau-women who feed the presses
, are victims of this system.
- They are assigned to a printer,
and if for some reason or another,
illness, vacation or what have you,
their particular printer does not
show up for work. these women are
put on the chance line.
Much Time Lost
That is, they have to wait until
some other printer needs a girl
assistant, and they are arbitrarily
picked to fill the vacancy.
Often they wait around doing
nothing until it is definitely known
that no such vacancy exists. Two
or three hours spent with no re-
suits.
The girls are then told that they
are not needed, and they have to
take annual leave if they have
Such leave remaining. In the event
they have no accrued leave, these
women workers, who are paid 66
cents an hour, are docked.
The system seems vicious, and
could easily be remedied by or
ganizing a revolving list so that
women would know on what days
they would be able to get work
without wasting a day of fruitless
waiting.
Senator Pat McCarran CD of
Nevada, has long been champion
of the cause Of Government work
aers. His fight for Federal en-
-ploye rights is thought to be
partly responsible for his present
illness.
Physicians advised him before
the last session of Congress began
that he must not engage in legis-
lative duelS. Despite this advice
he sponsored a measure which
would give Government workers a
salary minimum of $500 year.
Should Set Example
. His contention was that if Gov
eminent wanted industry to OBJ
serve livable minimum wages,
Government should set an ex-
ample to Industry.
McCarran discovered that 49,
600 Government employees now
are earning less than $1,000 a
year, and this fact Spurred him on
to introduce legislation creating
a $500 minimum with pro rata
increases affecting salaries up to
$500.
Senator William J. Bulow CD,
Of South Dakota, chairman of the
Senate Civil Service Committee,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1937-08-25

understands that the Civil Serv-
ice Commission is a bipartisan
commission. The appointment is
Republican appointment. and
therefore it had to go to some
Republican.
Mr.. Ordway is the son Of
the late Samuel Ordway, Of
New York City, who was an out.
standing advocate of civil serv-
ice reform during the admins
tration Of Grover Cleveland. He
distinguished himself in that
field, and was well recognized
by all those throughout the
country who believed in genuine
civil service reform.
Hlustrious Father
1.-THE appointee under consid.
Grafton is the son Of that illus
trious father, and he has fol-
lowed in his fathers footsteps
with respect to his devotion and
his sincerity in that field. He
served for two years as Civil
Service Commissioner in the
city Of New York, from which
position he resigned to resume
the practice of law in that city.
He is about 40 years of age, a
man of the highest character,
and stands well not only among
these in his profession, but
among all those in the city of
New York who know him.
while I have not been able
to get in touch with the Sena-
tor from New York (Mr. Wag-
ner), I have been able to confer
with those in his office, and I
am assured by them that the
Senator from New York knows
about this appointee, regards
him very highly, and sincerely
hopes that his nomination may
be confirmed"
Incidentally, Mr.. Ordway is
not in Who's Who. He is eX-
pected to return to Washington
from an upstate New York visit
next month, when he will take Of
flee.

R. F. c. STATE LEVY
FOUGHT BY JONES
Sees Possible Curtailment Of
Local Activities if Sub
jected to Tax.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
Jesse H Jones. chairman OF the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. said
in letter made public today the
R. P. c. might seek 10 curtail local
services If it were made subject to
State taxation.
The letter to Senator Hayden. Demo-
crat, Of Arizona was published along
with communications from heads Of
other lending agencies and forwarded
to Senate members
Hayden had sent to various Cow
ernment corporations a suggestion by
Charles Woolf of Phoenix Ariz., that
Federal agencies performing pro-
prietary, or ''non-g governmental, func-
tions' should pay State taxes.
Jones, replying, said the R. F. c.
is not operating for profit and does
not compete with private capital in
its lending activities.
In event of State taxation, cones
added, 'it might be found advisable
to curtail local service by discontinuing
field Offices and centralizing admin
istration in Washington"
Heads Of several other agencies
joined in opposing the idea.
Gov. w. l. Myers of the Farm Creoit
Administration said various corpora
tions functioning within the R. F. C.
are incorporated arms of the Gov
ernment itself and all of them are
performing governmental functions
