MORE WILL Join
GROUP HEALTH.
Employees of Four U. S.
Agencies Given Permis-
sion to Affiliate.

Employees of four Government estab-
lishments have been given permission
to join Group Health Association. Inc.
the embattled new medical care group
set up by the Home Owners Loan
Corp.
Group Health is not soliciting new
members, officials explained today.
but is giving consideration to applica-
tions which have come in from other
departments and establishments which
have been asking for permission to
allow their employees to join
The names of the four establish
ments already permitted to send their
employees to G. H. A. were not dis
closed, with the exception of one, the
Social Security Board.
Group Health is under fire from
Senator McCarran, Democrat. of
Nevada, who questions the manner in
which $4,000 was turned over by
H. o. L. C. to set it up. Acting Con-
troller General Elliott held the alloca-
tion of funds was without authority
OF law. Group Health also is under
fire from the District Medical Society,
which has a brief in the hands of
Corporation Counsel Elwood H. Seal.
Support for the Group Health idea
appears to be spreading still further
among Government workers. Another
organization which, for years, has
been studying the possibilities of a
cooperative association to be set up
for medical care without Government
funds still has the problem under
consideration.

3OO-POl1nd Safe
Is LOOt-PrOOf.
Burglars Find

A 300-pound safe, battered as If an
unsuccessful attempt had been made
by yeggmen to force it open, caused
quite stir in vicinity of Farmers
Market today when Policeman Stanley
Schimkezy of the market detail found
the strong-box abandoned in the
middle of Fourth street NE.
While an effort was being made to
locate the owner of the safe, it was
taken to police headquarters. Though
SCARED and mutilated, sthe steel box
had evidently thwarted all attempts
to pry into its interior.
But while an expert safe-opener was
on his way to headquarters to open it,
Assistant Chief of Detectives Ira E.
Keck attacked the box with hammer
and chisel, soon forcing its door.
Inside were bundle of photographs
and boys birth certificate. There
was no money.
The veil of mystery was withdrawn
when Samuel Rosen of the 100 block
Of U street NE, claimed the safe and
told police he had abandoned it in
the cellar of q house from which he
had moved some months ago.

PROMOTION POLICY
OCCUPIES U. S: BODY
Preference for Present Employees
May Be Sought in Joint
Effort.

Planning to seek an interofice pro-
motion policy which would give present
employees of the department preference
in filling either vacancies or new posi-
tions, the Agriculture Department
Branch of Local 2, National Fedora
ton of Federal Employees, voted yes
terday to seek the cooperation of
other employe organizations in this
move.
Such q step would constitute the
first joint endeavor by rival unions.
DR.. Herbert A. Smith, the branch
president, and two other members will
serve as N. F. F. E. representatives
in the discussions it is proposed to
inaugurate with DR.. w. w. Stock
berger, director Of personnel at the
department.
This move is being taken in accord
ance with general sentiment through
the Government service for an i'm
proved promotion program, and fol-
lows q plan launched at the Civil
Service Commission for promotion ex-
aminations.
The branch also filled four of five
vacancies on the board of representa-
tives, the governing body Of Local 2.
Those named were Van Summers, Mrs.

SHIFT Of COURTS
BUDGET WEIGHED
Fund Control Transfer From
D. c. Government
Studied by Collins.

Chairman Collins of the House sub
committee on District appropriations
announced today serious consideration
would be given a recent proposal of
the Budget Bureau to transfer
budgetary control over the United
States courts in the District from the
municipal government to the De-
partment Of Justice.
The original plan, proposed several
years ago by the Commissioners,
would have required the Federal Gov
ernment to pay the entire expense of
supporting the United States Court
for the District as well as the Court
of Appeals. The Budget Bureau, how
ever, followed the recommendations of
the discarded Jacobs fiscal relations
report and proposed that the District
bear more than half of the cost. The
District, under the plan, would pay
so per cent of the cost of operating
the District Court and 80 per cent of
the cost of the Court of Appeals.
100000 Yearly Saving.
The saving to the District under the
Budget Bureau proposal, it was said,
would amount to about 5000 900 year.
The municipal government, however,
would be required to pay at least
100000 a year toward the cost of
operating the courts.
Mr.. Collins pointed out the Budget
Bureau exceeded its authority in max
ing provisions for the transfer OF
jurisdiction without the approval of
Congress. He emphasized, however,
that the shift is desirable and pre-
dicted its approval by his subcom-
mittee.
Subcommittee Approval Needed.
The change first must be approved
by the appropriations subcommittee
in charge of the Department of Justice
supply bill, headed by Representative
Mcmillan, Democrat, of South Caro-
lima.
The Commissioners have taken the
position that if the courts are trans
ferred to the Justice Department the
Federal Government should pay the
entire cost of operation as it does in
other Federal judicial districts. The
Jacobs report, however, recommended
a division Of COSTS
The Jacobs committee based its
recommendation on the fact that a
study OF local and Federal cases ham
died by the District Court showed so
per cent were local and 40 per cent
Federal. In the Court of Appeals the
committee said the ratio was 70 per
cent Federal and 80 per cent local.
