Murphy Hits Giving
OF Federal Jobs 10
Pay Political Debts
Says He Would Make
BiIIion-DoIIor Operation
On Public Pay Roll
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ASBURY PARK, N. j., June 16.-
Urging an end "to the ancient prac-
tice of passing out Government jobs
In payment of political debts" At
torney General Murphy declared
last night the Government pay roll
was not "a legitimate field for char
ity and benevolence toward special
groups and persons who lack quail
f1cation for public service"
Both notions" he said in radio
broadcast, ARE unsound, poor polit-
ical science and, above all, poor pub
lie economy"
Speaking to the Eastern Regional
Conference of the Civil Service As
senbly of the United States and
Canada, Mr. Murphy advocated
billion dollar operation on the pub
lie pay roll" because "I main
tain that instead of four million
employees, less than three million
should be plenty; and instead of
payroll of six billion dollars per year,
less than five billion should suffice"
He said the six billion dollars in
salaries to national, State and local
Government workers made the cost
to the average family 5000 a year,
or above l3 per cent of it's total an
nual income.
Il am sure" he continued, you
will agree with me that 13 per cent
of familys annual income for the
public pay roll is too much. Either
family income should be increased
or the public pay roll should be re-
duced. And at this moment the
most Immediately promising step
seems to be an operation on the
public pay roll" adding, however:
I'm saying that our public pay
rolls should be reduced, I am not
proposing drastic curtailment of
governmental functions and &C
tivities. On the contrary, I am
strongly of the opinion that every
governmental function - national,
State and local-which is clearly
necessary to protect the physical
and mental security OF our people
should be continued"
He contended that a large per-
centage of public jobs was controlled
by machine politics and special in
terest groups whose opposition, to-
gether with public ignorance of
inefhciency, graft and waste
resulting from the spoils system, has
been enough to undermine virtually
every substantial effort to establish
and enforce sound personnel man
agement in our government"
Declaring there was a broad and
fertile field for civil service reform
still available. Mr. Murphy observed:
Perhaps the public has been
apathetic-as it so often is about
reforms of the less spectacular
variety. Perhaps those who have
q stake in the spoils system have
been skillful and energetic enough
to ward off sweeping reform move
ment Probably the reason is
mixture of both"

JesseI, Miss ToImodge
Will Be Divorced
BY the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD, June 16.-The
5000 miles which separate Holly
wood boulevard and New York's
Broadway-an obstacle encountered
before in theatrical marriages
cropped up today to push apart
Norma Talmadge and George Jessel.
"It is definite that there will be
a divorce" said Miss Talmadge,
glamorous star of the silent screen.
Jessel, stage and radio favorite,
flew in from the East last night.
He planned to see his wife today,
but she told friends there was no
likelihood of reconciliation.
Georges business has been largely
In New York. Miss Talmadge de-
clared. My interests have been

however, and I do not know now

Her statement confirmed rumors
heard since she returned last week

Jury Summons 50
In Move 10 Halt
Lepke' 'sFinances
Officials of Industries
Requested to Bring
Books and Records
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 31-1n a
sweeping drive to dry up the hide
away finances of Louis Gepke)
Buchalter, described by District At
torney Thomas E. Dewey as "the
most dangerous industrial racketeer
in the United States" the July
grand jury today subpoenaed more
than so officials in the garment and
bakery industries once dominated
by the fugitive gangster.
The subpoenas directed the Off
cials to bring their books and rec
ords for scrutiny by Mr.. Dewey'S
aides in an effort to find out if any
payments have been made to Lepke,
now the object of a concerted man
hunt.
Mr.. Dewey has pointed out that
Lepke apparently was well supplied
with money, and Assistant District
Attorney Murray I. Gurfein, head
of the Rackets Bureau, indicated his
belief that some of the fugitive's
funds might be derived from the
multimillion dollar garment or
bakery industries on which he for
merly preyed.
An intensive investigation, he
said, was under way to trace the
source of Lepke's finances.
Meanwhile, as Federal State and
city authorities intensified the hunt
as the result of the mistaken iden-
tity" murder last week of Isadore
Penn, AZ, a music publishing house
official, 100000 circulars announc-
ing city reward of 5000 for Lepke
dead or alive" were made ready for
Nation wide distribution.
The Federal Government also has
put a $1,000 pirce tag on the head
of the big-nosed swarthy gang
leader.
j. Edgar Hoover, head of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, and
Mr.. Dewey, who had asked city Of
ficials to increase the reward to
$25 900, have taken over command
of the search for the fugitive, who
skipped $4,000 bail two years ago.
Mr.. Dewey has charged the Lepke
mob with Staying five men and
wounding two others in war Of
determination" against former asso-
ciates of the racketeer who knew
too much about his activities.
Lepke N wanted on antitrust
charges growing out of racketeer-
ing in the baking and garment in
