Curb Is Sought
On Political Activities
0fU. s., State Workers
Civil Service Reform
League Says Problem
Involves 3,250,00O

The National Civil Service Reform
League today called for a curb on
the political activities of civilian
employees of Federal and State gov
ernments.
Pointing out that there now are
3.250.000 persons in these services,
the league, in its annual report,
emphasized that the problem has
become acute"
The Federal civil service rules
prohibiting undue political activity
of persons in the classified service
never have been effectively en-
forced" the league said. The law
prohibitin gassessment of public
employees for political organizations
is ineffective in discoursging politi-
cal tribute. Our political party con-
ventons in parts of the Nation are
still Influenced greatly, if not
actually dominated, by civil service
employees. 1t is sad spectacle to
see public employees enmeshed in
political primary fights at the ex-
pense of other citizens and tax
payers
The league said there were two
ways OF ending this "disgusting
business. 1t would prohibit any
employe in the public service from
contributing TO any political party
or campaign fund, and would bar
all forms Of political activity to any
employees other than those directly
concerned with the political poll
cies Of an administration in power. ="
The report declared that public
support will be necessary to make
effective President Roosevelts S pro-
gram for revamping civil service,
and urged that Congress bring under
the competitive system those en-
ployes who cannot be reached by
executive order.
Much of the distrust Of the great
ly expanding administrative agen-
cieS regulating and controlling our
individual rights, privileges and pos
sessions is undoubtedly due to the
suspicion that, influenced by the
spoils system. such agencies are
subject to political bias and partisan
prejudice" the league said.

By the Associated Press.

PARIS, Nov. 7.-Finance Minister
Paul Reynaud announced today that
DEGREES to meet the republics press
ing financial problems would be
handed down before the end of the
week
A communique said M. Raynaud
had completed a survey and would
confer with Premier Daladier and
financial experts before the expected
beginning tomorrow Of a series of
cabinet meetings to approve the de-
crees. No indication was given of
the nature of these measures.
M. Daladier was called upon for
democratic guarantees by the pow
erful Socialist party. which accused
Nationalists of plotting to seize pow
er on Armistice Day. The Premier
was asked TO assure the free func-
tioning of Parliament and the Dem
ocratic regime"
Appeals for Vigilance.
The party's official newspaper La
Populaire redoubled its appeals to
Paris workers for vigilance. The
appeals followed a resolution by the
Socialist National Council asserting
that forces of Fascist reaction
again threaten Republican institu-
tionS'
A copy of the councils resolution
was presented to M. Daladier.

The councils resolution which
asked the premier for democratic
guarantees came in the wake of a
Communist statement accusing M
Daladier of "complicity with sworn
enemies of democracy"
Bar Anti Communist Crusade.
The socialist resolution criticized
M. Daladier'S announced plan to ex-
clude the Communists from the
Peoples Front, declaring the So

That is the way Fascism gets to
power" the resolution said.
The Socialists. who compose the
largest group in the Chamber of
Deputies, let it be known that they
would stick with the Communists
should the Premier persist in his
fight against them.
Regardless of what happens Ar
mistice Day. the Socialists served
notice on NJ Daladier they would
refuse to grant an extension of his
decree powers which expire Novem-
ber Is.
They called upon him to convoke
Parliament for that date, in con-
formity with his promise, after he
let it be known he planned to
prolong the parliamentary "vaca-
ton" until mid-Decemper.
The Socialist stand was seen as
putting NJ. Daladier in a tight spot.
While his Radical Socialist party
approved his fight against Com
munists at the recent Marseille con-
vention, they asked for continued
cooperation with the Socialists.
Should the Socialists, with l56
Deputies in the chamber, stick with
the Communists. who have 73 Depu-
ties, they would need only an ad-
ditional 81 votes to topple NJ. Dala-
dier's cabinet.

One of the most sacred animals
In the world has lived unnoticed
at the National Geological Park for
the last year.
1t is white bison. compared
with which the white elephant OF
Siam or Burma hardly ranks for
holiness. 1t is venerated by nearly
all tribes of the Plains Indians. In
times past, before the Sioux, Grow
and other tribes had made much
progress in accepting the ways OF
the white man, the hide of the
creature was SO valued that an
Indian would trade his best horses
for one, although he would not
part with them for any other con-
sideration whatsoever, according to
ethnologiSts of the Smithsonian
Institution.
Among many primitive peoples
white animals, albinos and other
wise. have been endowed with super
natural virtues. The animal selected
for this reverence is usually one
closely associated with the life of
the people, like the elephant in
Bhuddist countries. The ordinary
bison was the Plains Indian S
source of livelihood. 1t provided him
with food and clothing and. with
the hides used for making tents,
shelter.
Was Born in Montana.
This particular animal according
to DR.. William M. Mann, Zoo
director, was born on the National
Bison Range in Montana few
years ago and was presented to the
Zoo by the Bureau of Biological
Survey. The type has always been
extremely rare. Because of its
prominence in the history OF the
Western tribes and of the hope
of preserving a natural curiosity
it is hoped to breed the creature
with a normally colored bison COW
There is a possibility the white
strain may be preserved in this way.
When it dies, ethnologists fear
the last white bison born and reared
in captivity will have passed from
the world. The "discoverer' of the
sacred creature in Washington is
John G.. Carter, Smithsonian col
laborator, who has gathered great
amount of white bison lore from the
accounts of Indians, missionaries
and explorers.
Long before the Indians had guns
and horses, Mr.. Carter says, they
killed the bison by driving them into
pens, or over the Drinks of high
embankments. According to story
he collected from the Atsina Indians,
the meat and hide of herd thus
slaughtered was not touched if a
white bison was among the car
casses. 1t was skinned and the hide
preserved as religious article.
Legend Is Cited.
Among the Teton Sioux, according
to another legend cited by Mr.. Car
ter. the white bison was believed to
have taken the form of a beautiful
supernatural woman. The Teton
legend is as follows:
Long ago. many generations be-
fore the whites crossed the wide
waters, two young men were sent
out from the Sioux camp in search
of buffalo. In their wanderings they
spied a beautiful young woman. She
was more fair to look upon than any
of the Sioux maidens. One of the
young men was wise and good. His
