newing Contract With Asso-
ciate English Professor.

The board of trustees of the George
Washington University yesterday re-
affirmed its decision of last March IL

Marvin T. Herrick, associate professor

Of petition signed by several hum
dred students. urging DR.. Herrick's re-
tention and the report of its special
committee on the matter. Herrick' S
two-year contract expires at the end
Of the current academic year.
Although aware OF the student ef-
fort in his behalf, Dr. Herrick de-
clared he was not surprised" at the
boards decision, but also added he
would not have been surprised had the
trustees ruled otherwise He said he
was told his contract was not being
renewed because Of reorganization
and for reasons of economy"
Il was unable to do some of the work
the president wanted me to do to
popularize the university off campus,
such as addressing clubs and organi-
zations,' he said. Il explained to him
that I was carrying full schedule
and could not do justice to additional
tasks"
The English professor came to

RANDOLPH NAMED
TRANSIT PROBER
Subcommittee Designated
as Company Asks Further
Fare Increases.

An investigation OF the Capital
Transit Co. will be started next week
by special subcommittee of the House
District Committee, whose personnel
was named today by Chairman Norton.
Mrs. Norton designated Representa-
tive Randolph, Democrat. of West Vir-
ginia. who two years ago directed the
sensational crime probe TO head the
subcommittee. Serving with him will
be Representative Arnold Democrat.
OF Illinois and Dirksen, Republican, Of
Illinois.
Randolph said he has not fixed a
definite date for starting the inquiry
but he hoped to get under way
by the latter part of next week.
The investigation was ordered by
the full District Committee several
weeks ago after repeated criticism Of
the transit company by Representative
Dirksen and Schultz, Democrat Of
Indiana
Mrs. Norton has referred to the
subcommittee two bills introduced BY
Dlrksen designed to improve transit
service and reduce rates Of fare. One
would fix the maximum fare at cents
on both busses and cars. The other
would abolish one man car oper-
ations
Plans for the inquiry were made by
Randolph shortly after the transit
company filed with the Public Utilities
Commission a new petition for an
increase in the token rate from four
for 30 cents to four for IS cents.
Sees Added Reason for Probe.
Action Of the transit company
caused Dirksen to issue a statement
in which he declared the new petition
lis add reason why Congress should
scan the operations of the company.
THE amended petition Of the Car pi-
tai Transit Co. for an even larger
token fare than that for which it
petitioned last Summer" said Dirksen
lis added reason why Congress should
scan the operations of the company
as soon as time permits.
Il trust the subcommittee appointed
to hold hearings on the two bills !
introduced relative to tWo-man cars
and original fares can get busy and
examine into this entire matter as
far back as the merger in 1884.
1T may be possible to point out
economies that would make a fare
increase unnecessary and to disclose
conditions that would justify the re-
tention Of two men on each car and
bus"

V|NSON BILL HIT
BY j. s. WORKERS
Letter Terms Measure Blow
to Merit System and
Against u. S. Ideal.

Strong disapproval Of pending legis-
latlon authorizing assignment Of COM
missionsd officers Of the Army. Navy
and Marine Corps and other services
TO civilian position under the Federal
Government was voiced today by the
National Federation OF Federal En-
ployes. which termed the bill a blow
TO the merit system
The measure was introduced bv
Chairman Vinson of the House Naval
Affairs Committee Luther C. Stew
letter addressed to each member of
the House, expressing the opposition
OF the organization, said:
We believe the assignment of Off
GERS from military services to civilian
positions in the Government would be
a heavy blow to the merit system, that
it would undermine morale and that
1T would definitely lower efficiency.
Further. we feel strongly that the
employment Of military officers
throughout the Federal establishment
is directly contrary to the American
concept of government"
Introduction of the Vinson bill
Steward said. closely followed issuance
Of a memorandum to all ships and
stations by the chief Of the Bureau OF
Navigation, Navy Department, on the
subject Of Promotion in the Navy
This memorandum, he pointed out
set forth a proposal, subsequently pro-
vided for in the Vlnson bill, to enable
officers who have been passed over
twice for promotion to continue in the
Federal service, to continue their pres
ent pay schedules and to retain their
customary allowances.
In other words" Steward declared
officers who have failed of promotion
beyond the grade Of lieutenant would
be given full opportunity to win their
promotions at the expense of the
civilian personnel. Civilian employees
clearly entitled to promotion
to supervisory positions, would find
opportunities for advancement shut of
by officers WHO were unable to go for
ward in their own field"
COI1STSSSlOtldl IulSISSI III more
general application of the merit sys-
tenn to Government appointments has
been revived by the Presidents letter
Of yesterday, but definite action may
await developments on legisla ton to
reorganize Federal agencies.
Waiting on Committee.
Chairman BuloW of the Senate
Civil Service Committee, before which
bills dealing with the merit system
are pending, said he has been wait
ing to see what the Joint Committee
on Reorganization does toward ex-
tension of civil service principles be-
fore going ahead with that question
separately.
Sentor OMahoney. Democrat, OF
Wyoming, author of one bill to apply
the merit system to postmasters, said
last night he thinks something will
be done before adjournment. He
agreed it may be possible to have a
general merit system proposal in the
reorganization plan.
In addition to putting postmaster
appointments under civil service, the
pending legislation would give en-
ployes in the postal service an oppor-
tunity to seek promotion to post
masterships.
