Doings Legislature
Especial to the Nugget

JUNEAU. Feb. 8, -Contending that the thirty three remaining days of the present session of the legislature was insufficient to han de tho work, particularly to deal with social security, the senate rushed through a resolution in- troduced by Representative Brun nelle Of the Third Division, ask ing Governor John w. Troy to call a special session upon the completion of the present one.
 The resolution said that bad weather, lacking of transporta- ion due to the recently settled maritime strike, prevented sever- al members of the legislature from arriving on time.
 The Governor has the power to call a special session of not to exceed fifteen days.
 The house is expected to give favorable action on the proposal early this week.
 The first bill dealing with so- cial security was introduced in the senate Saturday. It sets ur the machinery for creating a de partment with a welfare commis. sioner at the head of it.

MARRIED CLAUSE
HEARING DELAYED
Rules Committee Postpones Ac.
tion on Repeal Until
Next Week.

After an executive session at which
House members only were admitted
as witnesses today, the House Rules
Committee postponed until next week
Its hearing on whether rule will be
permitted to give privileged status
to the Ramspeck bill to repeal section
2l3 Of the old Economy act, otherwise
called Married Persons Clause"
Chairman Ramspeck Of the Civil
Service Committee, which favorably
reported the bill, told the committee
there were two major reasons why this
section should be repealed. One is
that it prevents marriages among
young persons in the civil service, and
1t also disturbs tenure. He pointed
out that divorces and separations OF
husbands and wives in the Federal
service have resulted from operation
of the law.
Representative Celler of New York,
who originally introduced the measure,
also argued for repeal He laid before
the committee a list of organizations
that are supporting the reapeal legis.
lation, including many men.
Representative Caroline ODay, DEM
ocrat, at large of New York also ap-
peared in protest against the existing
provision and in support Of Chairman
Ramspeck and the Civil Service Com
mittee.

Mo Naitto Is billed by Ringing
Bros as the Oriental wizard OF the
wire" The circus doesn't mention the
strains, which are almost as intriguing
as her backward somersault on the
taut steel wire.
Miss Naitto's father was Chinese
opera singer. Her mother was Pole

married German comedy dancer
When the four want to talk ensemble,
they say it in Russian.
Mos actions are louder than words,
however, even Russian words, when
she prances over the thin piece Of
steel stretched across the center ring
in the main tent at the Florida avenue
and Fifth street northeast grounds,
where the circus began a three-day
stay yesterday, with performances
each day at pm. and pm.
Before the slant-eyed mistress OF
balance tops off the Naitto's l3-minute
performance with her backward somer-
sault, she has the customers holding
their collective breath at such nifty
antics as these:
Her l6-year-old sister, Ala. stands
on her head, and Mo mounts the
ladder, walks across the wire 90 feet
above the ground) and down the lad
der.
She repeats this performance with
Ala doing a handstand resting on
Mos upstretched hands.
Ala stands on Mos head with one
foot, the other leg pointed up past
her head. After Mo has carried her
sister to the center of the wire, Mo
puts her own left foot up past her
head, resting on her right.

long contest over future use of the
site of the old tuberculosis Hospital

of the latter property.
The Board of Public Welfare has
asked that the building be converted
into an obstetrical annex to Gallinger

NEW STUDY BEGUN HOUSE UNIT BEGINS
ON LEAVE RULES J0RDON CASE QUIZ.
Unintentiona| |nequities of
Present System Cited
to Officials.

Administrative officers of the Gov
ernment today undertook a new study
Of the regulations governing leave, pre-
paratory to recommending changes to
President Roosevelt designed to iron
out kinks that have developed since
and rules went into effect last July l.
At meeting this morning at the
Civil Service Commission, which some
time ago called on the departments
and independent agencies for q report
on the manner in which the regula-
tions were working out, it was decided
to turn the questions which have de-
veloped over to the two committees
originally instrumental in devising
these regulations. The Committee on
Annual Leave is headed by Frank A.
Birgfeld, chief clerk of the Treasury,
and that on sick leave by P. L. Glad
mon, chief clerk of the Agriculture
Department..
Dozens of problems that could not
be anticipated when the regulations
were formulated have resulted out Of
varying interpretations by the officers
themselves and as result of the con-
troller generals decisions, and there
are instances, officers think. where the
President should be asked to make
changes to end unintentional in
equities.
For example, it was pointed out to-
day, employees classed as temporary
who are paid only for the time they
are on duty are deprived Of leave by
decision of Acting Controller Gen
eral Elliott, when, as matter of fact,
their service is continuous. Under or
dinary circumstances, a temporary
employe gets two and a half days
annual leave month.
Another case brought up was that
of employees ultimately retired for dis
ability who have taken leave in excess
of that earned when they quit the
service. If this excess leave is sick
leave, they are not required to re-
imburse the Government. If it is
annual leave, they are required to
make 1t good.

mally established late yesterday, plans
moved forward today toward its
eventual purchase of all assets OF

Final formalities were completed
for the First Federal when a certifi-
cate was issued for membership of

agencies had been completing the
establishment Of the new institution
here, the receiver at the Fidelity has
been busy preparing a schedule OF
assets on the basis of which these
assets are to be sold to the new Fed
eral by approval of the court. Many
details remain to be worked out by
the receiver, under direction of the
controller Of the currecy, in estab-
fishing a minutely accurate and COM
prehensive record for the court OF
each shareholders account and each
loan. Shareholders are to be invited
to inspect the books later at the
receivers Office to check the accuracy
Of the schedule.
The new institution formally is to
call upon the controller OF the cur
rency to sell the assets, and the mat
ter then will 60 before the court
with the detailed schedule OF assets
for court approval. The court IS ex-
pected to set a date for 4 hearing
on the proposed sale.
How long the remaining procedure
will take before the doors OF the new
First Federal open cannot be ac-
curately estimated But all officials
concerned were working today toward
as early date As possible. The big
gest Job still remaining completion
Of the schedule.
