dominating the national conven-
tions with the presence of these
unrepresentative delegations that
represent neither party, people,
nor principle"
The Senator used strong language,
but the years have proved the truth
of his words.
For these and many other reasons,
1t would seem proper to write into
the law the rule of the Civil Service
Commission which prohibits political
activity of civil service employees,
and make the same rule applicable
to all employees Of the Government,
except those who are engaged in
policy-making functions and duties.
This should have been done many
years ago. The fact that this essen
tial reform has been so long delayed
only makes it more imperative that
we act while the issue Is squarely
before us.
Some of those who criticize the
pending measure are prone to treat
the subject lightly and say that we
must be realistic in this day and
age. Well, realistic is exactly what
those of us sponsoring this bill are
trying to be. We are realistic in
the sense that we want to place all
the obstacles we possibly can in the
way OF wrongdoing in the use of the
vast funds we annually appropriate
for relief purposes. Last summer 1t
was, perhaps, idealism to seek these
corrective measures against the i'm
proper use of relief funds. Today
that idealism has become realistic
law and mandate. I am glad that
it is so.
Realistic in Belief.
We are very realistic in our belief
that what has been fair and right
for civil service employees through
out the past so years will be fair
and right for the thousands of other
employees of the Federal Govern
ment who are not in the civil serv-
ice and who occupy positions and
perform duties which in no sense
can be deemed policy making or
political in function or responsibility
We are realistic in our belief that
the power to nominate is the power
to elect; that those who have the
nominating power should be free
to select the nominee of their choice
rather than to be mere puppets

function. However, such officials
cannot be classed with the thou
sands and thousands Of others who
have no such political duties to
perform.
What policy-making function does
. collector of internal revenue, a
district attorney, or an employe in
. clerical position discharge or per-
form? None whatever. Their duties
are purely administrative. The pri-
mary duty of the district attorney
Is to prosecute violators of criminal
laws. He has no part whatever in
the formulation of those laws. His
duties are plain; they are not in any
sense political. The duties of the
collector of internal revenue relate
to the collection of taxes. He formu-
, lates and determines no course of
action.
Public Office a Public Trust.
But it is argued that these off,
cials, having received the rewards
OF party victory, are obligated to re-
turn the party favor by working for
party success at the polls. With
. this argument, have no particular
dlHerence except fundamental one
concerning the manner by which
party success at the polls is to be
achieved. My position is the same
which the Democratic party has
proclaimed in its platforms through
out the years. 1t has always declared
public Office to be a public trust,
and has always declared against
the use OF office for political pur-
poses. All officers and employees of
the Federal Government can best

serve their party, to say nothing OF
their country, by performing the
duties of their Offices faithfully, well
and honorably. Let them do that,
and no man need worry about the
reaction of the voters of the country.
The people of America desire OF
their officials and of the party in
power but one thing, and that is
honest, clean and decent Govern
ment. They resent the actions of
officials and employees who seek to
use their Offices to dominate political
affairs in the country.
This reminds me that as section 9
is redrawn, it would also preclude all
such employees from going as dele
gates to conventions. Is it neces-
sary to discuss the merits of this
proposal? All persons familiar with
the history of this country know
that more than once nominations to
high positions in Government have
been secured through conventions
packed with patronage appointees
and employees. AS former distin-
guished Senator of the United States
said not so many years ago on the
floor of the Senate, such appointees

years ago, speaking of the evils of
patronage controlled conventions,
used the following almost startling
language. He said, and quote the
exact words:
1T is a well-recognized fact
that nominations by national
conventions are the exclusive
work of politicians, which the
electorate of the whole United
States is permitted only to wit
ness in gaping expectancy and to
ratify at the polls in the succeed
ing November. AS unrepresenta-
tive as this feature of the ma
tional convention is, its fagrancy
pales into insignificance in the

against partisan conscience and
outrage upon the representative

PAUL LUkAS HEADS NAH SPY' RING AT

Confessions of Nazi Spy" now at the Coliseum Theatre, is a sen sational picture in the true sense of the word, because it is a vivid depletion of the menacing under cover activities fostered in this coun- try by the most dangerous of all the enemies of our democratic institu- tions--the Nazi regime in Germany.

Warner Bros have used all the facilities at their command to bring the danger of these activities out into the open, and although the stery of the film is fictional, there can be no doubt that the dangers are very real.

Smithsonian Given
World War Engine
For Airp|anes.
Stonley Page Presents
Original Union Motor
U. S. Adopted

A 1915 Union aviation engine
which played its part in winning
the World War has been added to
collections of the Smithsonian In
stitution, it was announced today.
The engine, the original model, de-
signed and built by Stanley H.
Page, former vice president of the
Union Gas Co. of Oakland, Calf,
is said to have combined many of
the best features of the Liberty
motor.
Mr.. Page undertook the work on
the engine in answer to a plea of
the Navy Department for an air.
plane engine combining the quail
ties of lightness and reliability and
able to meet the official require
ment Of 48-hour continuous run.
Tested at Navy Yard.
The engine was tested at the
Washington Navy Yard, at the time
the center of governmental avia-
ton research in this country, and
officials were astounded when it
ran continuously for SIS hours, when
it was voluntarily stopped. At the
end of the test the engine seemed
in perfect condition. The best
previous record for an American
engine had been about IS hours.
For some reason, however, the
engine was not adopted for heavier
than-air machines. With the en-
trance of the United States into
the World War exact reproductions
of the engine performed invaluable
service in propelling lighter-than-
air craft used for coast patrol and
submarine spotting on both sides
of the Atlantic.
Only through bad luck, it is
pointed out, it is probable that the
type of engine missed the honor

splendid time to Newfoundland, and
there were some who predicted that
it would be the first to reach Eng
land. But in Newfoundland it was
caught in a heavy rainstorm, torn
from the hands of those who were

and never hesrd of again.

it remained until he was obliged
to give up aviation as q recreation.
Then he kept it in his home for
several years. When Mr.. Page
learned of the institutions search
for a Union engine he generously
presented it with his own original.
