FEDERAL STAFF
IN D, C. EXPECTED
TO Be ENLARGED
Security and Pay Law
Increases Seen

Social Security employees in
Washington numbered 1882 in Oc-
tober. The Baltimore organization
reported 1926 workers. AL these
will be transferred to Washing
ton when quarters are provided,
since they represent a segment Of
the headquarters executive organ
ization. The force employed in re-
gional and field offices outside
Of Washington accounts for 1890
more. These will remain in the
field.
WAGE BILL PLAYS PART
Should the Black Connery wage.
and-hour bill or some substitute
be enacted during the coming ses-
SlonS of Congress, a new organiZa-
ton similar to the old NRA would
have to be set up to administer the
law. This would add an indefinite
number Of employees to the Wash
ington total, estimated at from
1900 to 1000.
Larger appropriations for the
Army and Navy, if Congress
should continue its policy Of put
ting the military branches of the
Government on footing approx
mating their authorized maximum
in ships, planes, men and material,
would mean a slight increase in
headquarters personnel. Secretary
Of War Woodring is asking appro-
priations for 1000 more officers
and several thousand more en-
listed men to bring the Army up
to it's authorized strength. The
Navy Is pushing its construction
program at top speed.
UNLIKE WAR ERA
Unlike the downward slide In
Federal employment following the
World War, when the Washing
ton executive organization grad
ually fell from It's Armistice Day
peak Of 117,760 in 1918 to q low
of $4,000 in 1927, to rise slowly
from that point until the New
Deal brought a new rush Of
workers to the Capital, it is
pointed out now that many of the
employees taken Oil during the last
four years have gone on the
permanent payroll, as members
of the classified civil service.
Thousands of others will con-
tinue to. be employed in perma-
nent agencies like U. s. Housing
Authority, the FILA, FHLBB,
Hole, SEC, NLRB, Bituminous
Coal Commission and Social
Security Board.
For these reasons those who
have studied the personnel prob
lem do not believe that there will
be even a long-term recession in
the size of the Federal establish
ment in the aftermath of the New
Deal comparable to that which
followed the war.

Artie Boyd'S Eastern High
eleven might we'll be termed the
second men," Three times this
season has the Light Blue come
through to score decisive points
when only seconds remained until
the end Of the half or the game.
In the Central game, Eastern
scored the only touchdown with 10
seconds to play. Against Gonzaga
last week, the deciding touchdown
was scored on the last play Of the
half. And again yesterday Boyd's
crew scored its first touchdown
with only seven seconds Of the
half remaining. In both the Con
zaga and Roosevelt games supple
mentary touchdownS were made,
but in each case the initial one
was enough to win the game.
Eastern defeated Roosevelt,
12-0, yesterday and went into un-
disputed possession Of first place
in the interhigh race. The first
touchdown came on a pass from
AL Kidwell to Dick Wade with the
timer getting ready to call the
half over. The second was a T.
yard line buck off right tackle by
Kidwell.
AS has been the case in pre-.
vious games, poor kicking con-
tributed to the Rough Riders
downfall. After the Roosevelt for.
wards had held off Eastern's Scor.
ing threats, a poor kick which
went only five yards beyond the
line Of scrimmage, led the Light
Blues first score.

Sex Trouble
Blamed on
Parents

Responsibility for sex delin-
quency among children was placed
squarely today on their parents by
Arthur H. Muchow, president of
the International Association for
Identification. He advocated a
national sex education program.
Muchow attributed the fault to
failure of parents to gain the con-
fidence of their children in discus
sion of sex.
Education in the home and a
Federal program of instruction in
the public schools would do much
to obviate the growing problem,
Muchow believes.
Muchow also declared he Is def
niteIy opposed to parole for any
person sentenced for a sex Of
tense. The sex deranged person
should be placed in permanent
confinement for the good Of all
society, he said.

lieves can be improved by further

ment agencies and the greater

The Constitution is very specific on the point
that no member of Congress voting to create an
office or to increase its "emoluments' can be ap-
pointed to that office.
What "EmOlunents" Means
The contention has been in Hugo'S behalf-the
same contention was made when the Senators
were nominating Joe Robinson-that the retire
ment act passed by the last Congress did not in
crease the "emoluments" Of the Supreme Court
members. It was commended that they already
had retirement act. But under that retirement
act there was nothing to prevent Congress at any
time from reducing the pay of retired Justice.
This was done in the case of Justice Holmes when
Congress reduced the salaries Of all Government
employees.
The last act was passed to insure any future re-
