one time, would jam the area around
Union Station and the Capitol and

White House in an effort to catch
glimpse of the King and Queen on
their arrival.
Closing of all Government estab-

125,0O0 employees to join the throngs,
but it was uncertain whether all
employees would be let off.

for Government workers to be off j.,

usually excused, and this to a great
extent empties the buildings. The
Budget Bureau expected the Presi-
dents request would be interpreted
as is customary.
Many Departments to Close.
At the Labor Department, it was
said that almost all employees
would be let off. A Securities and
Exchange Commission official, how
ever, said 'it looks like the Presi-
dent wants everybody to turn out"
and that all S. E. C. employees would
be excused from work during the 10
am. to 2 pm. period The Justice
Department also plans to let off
all employees.
All regular employees who can be
released will get the time off at the
District Building, and per diem en-
ployes will have the holiday where
the law permits. Final decisions
had not been reached at many
other agencies.
Closing of the larger department
stores will free more than 5000
workers. Nearly 100000 school
children will have a full holiday.

Senator Pittman said the motion
for the adverse report was adopted

Tert OF the Presidents messag.
to Congress on his signing OF tn.
Hatch bill today tollo,Us:
Because there have been so
many Misrepresentation, some
unprecedented, some deliberate,
in regard to the attitude of the
executive branch of the Govern
ment in relation to Senate Bill
1871, "An Act to Prevent Perni-
cious Political Activities" and be-
cause a number of questions have
been raised as to the meaning
and application of some of its
provisions, deem it advisable at
the time of executive approval to
make certain observations to the
Congress of the United States.
The genesis of this legislation
lies in the message of the Presi-
dent of January S, 1889, respect
ing an additional appropriation
for the Works Progress Admin
istration. I said in that message:
1T is my belief that improper po-
litical practices can be eliminated
only by the imposition of rigid
statutory regulations and penal
ties by the Congress, and that
this should be done. Such penal
ties should be imposed not only
upon persons within the adminis-
trative organization of the Works
Progress Administration, but also
upon outsiders who have in fact
in many instances been the prin-
cipal offenders in this regard. MY

Divine Has 15-Mi|Iion
Land Fund, Says Aide
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 2-Father
Divine has a SIS 1000 900 fund to buy
land under certain circumstances, -
his white secretary said today.
The secretary, John Lamb, said
Father Divine conferred several
weeks ago with Robert w. Goelet,
socially prominent descendant of
early Dutch settlers of New Amster-
dam, regarding the acquisition of
Mr.. Goelet's 2,500-acre estate in the
Hudson highlands back of New
burgh, N. Y.-the biggest single
piece of property yet offered the
Harlem cult.
Nothing has been done about it
yet" Mr.. Lamb said. Father is
simply too busy these days to at
tend to all the offers"
He said there had been many
outstanding offers" which would
probably be considered within the
next two weeks, but that the pro-
spective donors had requested their
names be withheld.
He said Father Divine would meet
later in the day with Mr.. Angela
Kaufman "to arrange a date for
signing papers" whereby the cult
would gain possession of the Castle,
stone mansion in Newport R. l.,
formerly owned by the late United
States Ambassador Richard WASH
burn Child.
In explaining the certain cir
cumstances' of expending the cults
SIS 100000 land-buying fund, Mr.
Lamb said it would depend on a
modification of tax laws to exempt
property improvements for the next
five years.

only reservation in this matter is
that no legislation should be
enacted which will in any way
deprive workers on the Works
Progress Administration program
of the civil rights to which they
are entitled in common with
other citizens"
Furthermore, in applying to all
employees of the Federal Govern
ment with a few eXceptions) the
rules to which the Civil Service
employees have been subject for
many years, this measure is in
harmony with the policy that I
have consistently advocated dur
ing all my public life. namely,
the wider extension of Civil Serv-
ice as opposed to its curtailment.
Most Civil Service Exemptions
Originated in Congress-.
1t is worth noting that nearly
all exemptions from the Civil
Service which have been made
during the past six years and a
half have originated in the Con-
gress itself and not in the EX-
ecutive.
Furthermore, it is well known
that 1 have consistently advo-

cal reasons have entered largely
