The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-05-11

When the ace of spades was fol- lowed by the king-the down and out" signal-South saw a glimmer of hope, and from that time on, he played for the remote chance Of a squeeze. Without the spade suit blocked, North and South feared a no-trump contract, and the game being rubber, South did not want to lose his honor count.
 West cashed his two spade tricks, and made the natural shift to the heart queen. Declarer won with the ace, then led three rounds of trumpS

It was easy to count 10 tricks, but the eleventh and game-going trick looked impossible to South when his dummy went down. He had no losers in clubs, diamonds or hearts, but both his own and the dummy hand had three losing spades.

Q.NISJ Unparalleled interest
in the Governments slum-clear-
ance and private construction pro-
grams will initiate one of the big
gest building booms in the history
of the nation, according to Nathan
Straus, U. S. Housing Authority
administrator.
Straus voiced predictions today
as he threw his organization into
high gear and the Federal Housing
Administration reported new rec
ords in private home construction.
He denied reports that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and some members
of the Cabinet were dissatisfied
with the progress of the slum-clear-
ance and low-cost housing pro-
grams, vital parts Of the recovery
drive.
Straus said the program has
passed the $200, ,000, 900 mark and
that contracts bring the total Of
USHA loans to local housing au-
thorities up to $202, ,807, 900 for 43
cities.
In addition to the loans, the
USHA has earmarked 1915, ,466, 900
for many additional cities, making
a total of $519,273,0 900 in commit
ments for 129 cities participating
to date in the $500. 100000 pro-
gram.
Loan contracts totaling $48,-
279,00O were approved yesterday
to defray 80 per cent Of the $751;
$4,000 estimated cost of 80 ad-
ditional projects in 18 cities.
StrauS based his prediction for
a building boom on the results Of
his tour Of the principal cities.

Civil Service Status of
Workers Planned
BY ]. EARLE MOSER

approximately l2,OOO emergency
employees now under jurisdiction
of the Agriculture Department
will be recommended for perma-
nent civil service status this
month. it was learned today.
Recommendation of the list to
be blanketed will shortly be made
to the Civil Service Commission,
informed sources within the de-
eartment revealed, in accordance
with the Presidents executive
orders of June "a, extending the
competitive classified service to
all Federal workers not specnlcal-
" exempt by legislation.
Agriculture employees who will
be switched from their present
"CAF" status comprise approx
mately go per cent of those who
had been deemed possibly eligible
for the change, it was said. Many
attorneys, heretofore exempt, are
included.
GETS OFFICIAL o. X.
Officials revealed that Agricul-
&ure Secretary Wallace received
official notification from the Civil
Service Commission shortly after
June "a, along with other depart
ments and agencies, asking for an
estimate of those to be recon-
mended for blanket.
A survey, Immediately under
taken at the direction of the Secre-
tary, showed that of more than
10000 employees, the department
has approximately 10000 who are
either holding emergency appoint
ments or have been exempted from
civil service in past years. Of this
10000, $4,000 will be definitely
recommended, it was said, the
survey having been completed but
not yet submitted to the Civil SerV'
Ice Commission.
COST UNDETERMINED
Individual units within Agricul-
ture which will be principally al
fected were not disclosed, but 1t
Is assumed that the majority OF
the recommendations will fall
within the Farm Security Admin
istration formerly ReSettlemenO
and Agriculture Adjustment Ad-
ministration, both of which are
composed almost entirely Of emer-
gency personnel.
Agriculture officials were un-
able to determine the costs of the
mass blanket today, and were un-
willing to estimate whether the
recommendations will mean raises
or reduction in compensation for
the employees concerned, pending
announcement of details of the
recommended list.

An increase Of 1872 Government
employees within the District of

Washington's Federal population
to total of 1880, Civil Service
statistics revealed today, while
the service as a whole gained by
1O.411 for a grand total Of $685.
236 throughout the country.
Concurrently, reports received
by the commission from more
than go agencies showed a sharp
drop in the Federal pay roll, the
July total being $128,119, 900
against $128,127 900 for June.
PWA ADDITIONS
In the District the employment
growth resulted principally from
expansion of activities of the Pub
lie Works Administration, which
added 48l workers here, plus an
increase of 460 employees, mostly
temporary, within Social Security
Board.
Outside the District the largest
increase was within War Depart
ment, chiefly in the Engineer De
partment at large. This increase
was not due to addition of new
workers but by the inclusion Of
personnel formerly paid from
Emergency Relief funds and con,
Sidered project or relief employees.

from regular appropriations and

ALL "OLD STUFF"
SURVEY SHOWS
u. S. Data Gatherers
Hold Conference

President Roosevelt is able to
laugh today at the criticisms he is
receiving because he knows that
the like Of these criticisms was
leveled at George WASHINGTON,
Thomas jefferson Andrew jack
son, Abraham Lincoln and others
who have tried to do something
for America"
With this little lesson in the
value of knowing history, DR.. Lu-
ther H. Evans, national director
Of Historical Records Survey, to-
day addressed the District of Co
lumbia group at work on the in.
ventory of records. He spoke at
a one-day conference of the group
in the National Archives audito-
rum.
WEAPONS ALL OLD
"It's of value to opponents Of
the Administration to know his
tory, because the weapons used
today were used in the past. All
you have to do to get material
for a Senator's criticism of the
President is to go back and read
speeches attacking Jefferson" he
declared.
DR.. Evans said that an inventory
such as that undertaken by HRS,
has never been done in the his
tory of mankind" He pointed out
that one of the purposes Of the
survey, which is q Works Progress
Administration project, is "to
bring under control the historical
resources Of the country, so the
writing of history can be done
more easily.
SCATTERED OVER NATION
Tons and hundreds of tons
Of records and papers are scat
tered over the country. And an
historian has been faced with q
lifetime Of desperate struggle to
find the particular materials
which he needed and to get ac-
cess to them" DR.. Evans de-
clared.
He announced that the $50 work
ers in the project in the District
would be increased to 200. At
present the national quota is 8,10O,
with about 1000 actually EN-.
ployed.
DR.. Evans pointed out that the
task is "of tremendous value to
America" because people are nur.
tured on history and because "the
Government is dominated by Ger.
tain conceptions of the moving

"Competent" Evidence
Sought in Quiz

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 3
UN.SO.-The mass of documen-
tary evidence behind District At
torney Carl B. ShelleyS charges
of graft in the Earle administra-
ton at last became the PennSyl-
vania legislatures own legal oyster
today.
With Shelley himself it's first
witness, offering admittedly only
"hearsay" testimony, the house in
vestigating committee began its
search for competent" evidence
on which we're based accusations
against Governor George H. Earle
and 13 other Democrats.
SPECIAL SESSION
The special session was barely
under way before it became ap-
parent that Former Attorney Gen
eral Charles j. Margiotti and
others under committee subpoena
would become the key witnesses
rather than Shelley.
Doggedly insisting the commit
tee would take "all the evidence
not just half of it," Shelley dis
closed his investigation had drawn
upon the information of 374 wit
nesses involving 208 persons.
The committee got its "go
ahead" yesterday from the su-
preme court, which lifted a lower
court order impounding Shelley's
evidence and testimony for the
local grand jury. The latter'S in
quiry has been temporarily halted,
pending further high-court rulings
on new legislation.
CHAMBER CROWDED
Flanked by his aides in house
chamber jammed to the doors with
legislators and various spectators,
Shelley identified at least three
score Of his witnesses, among
whom were ones linked by refer
ence with these of his charges:
The alleged "sale" of beer legiS-
lation in 1884 and 1887.
Political "kickbacks" from firms
or individuals doing State business
affecting truck, building supplies,
and road-material purchases.
Shelley told the committee
headed by Representative Herbert
B. Cohen, Democrat of York, Pa,
he had all the documentary evi-
dence behind his charges except
those on the Erie gravel scan
dal."

GASPE TOWN, July 23.-Canada' s
Gaspe is full of delightful surprises
for the tourist, but the biggest sur
prise Of all is that this land-now so
easily reached-could preserve so we'll
its pristine beauty and antique charm.
Picturesque fishing hamlets stand
virtually unchanged from their quiet
way Of life so years ago. when there
was neither road nor rail to connect
them with the outside world. And
the great thousand-foot cliffs. the
tumbling streams. the sunny meadows,
the dense forests. and the serene
stretches of blue sky and bluer sea
have altered not whit since the days
when Cartier discovered this tower
ing headland in 1884.
Just what do you see when you tour
the Gaspe? Eastward from Ste Flavie
its the ripping St. Lawrence. dotted
with little towns growing into quiet
summer resorts like Metis Beach and
Cap Chat. Tiny houses brightly
painted every color of the rainbow to
match the brilliance OF the meadow
flowers. cluster in valley villages or
perch precariously on the edge of some
lonely crag. Farther along the road
one occasionally sees great black
cross marking a saltwater tragedy
the wreck of some ill-fated fishing
craft
Out on the river and on the blue
sWells of the Gulf of ST. Lawrence the
brown sails Of fishing boats fill with a
breeze that sets the pine trees of the
landward forests swaying and signing
At dusk the fantastic rock formations
cast strange shadows across the quiet
ing water while bell buoy tolls an

On the end of the peninsula at
Gaspe Town is the Jacques Cartier

affords the scenic high-spot of the
