Women Voters |rked
By Record Of Congress

The National League of Women
Voters is dissatisfied with the record
of Congress in the session just con-
cluded. Mrs. Harris T. Baldwin de-
clared last night, because of failure
to enact revised neutrality legisla-
ton and support the reciprocal trade
agreements program.
Mrs. Baldwin said, in part:
Congress could have done nothing
worse on neutrality than to do moth
ing. Lack of action constitutes
hands-across-t -the-sea to those coun-
tries the American people do not
wish to aid -. The multiplicity
of individual bills now on the legis-
lative roster indicates definite
building up for a major attack on
the trade agreements program at
the next session"
Mrs Baldwin expressed the
leagues approval of liberalization OF
aid for dependent children and State
merit systems in the Social Security
Administration, but called the Hatch
bill "a back-door attempt to get at
the abuses of the patronage system
instead of frontal attack to destroy
the patronage system by requiring
that all Federal personnel be sub
ject to the Civil Service Act and
rules"
Evening star., 1939-08-06
Certification Is Sought
For Glenn Dale Nurses

A formal request for the certifica-
ton of Is nurses to be appointed
for service at the District Tubercu-
losis Sanatoria at Glenn Dale, Md,
was sent to the Civil Service Com
mission yesterday by the Com
missioners.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen
said the first Is nurses on the list,
who were found to meet the qualifl-
cations of the District, would be
approved, regardless of whether they
are white or colored.
Dispute over the appointment of
colored nurses to the Glenn Dale
staff arose recently on the ground
that no facilities we're available there
for separate housing of white and
colored staff workers. The recently
adopted District Appropriation Act,
which provided funds for an increase
in the institutions nursing staff, did
not specify, as was done in previous
acts. that the nurses might be ap-
pointed without regard to civil serv-
ice rules.
The Commissioners indicated they
believed proper housing facilities
could be arranged at the institution.
A general request for eligible
nurses on their lists was sent to the
Civil Service Commission about three
weeks ago, but it was explained at
the District Building yesterday a
specific application must be made
before the names are certified as a
step toward appointments.
