Hoffman
 Lashes
 Murphy

WASHINGTON, Jan. II (41-- The House of Representatives heard a bitter attack from Rep resentative Hoffman on the Lab or policies and political back ground of Frank Murphy, former Governor of Michigan, who was recently nominated as Attorney General by President Roosevelt
 "The record shows that Frank Murphy failed to perform his duties as governor of his state and betrayed his people and left them at the mercy of armed in- vaders," Hoffman said.
 A Senate subcommittee ap- proved the nomination of form CT Senator Pope to succeed Nor gan to the IVA board of dir ectors and another subcommittee heard Harry Hopkins testify that he had done everything in his power "to keep petty partisan politics out of WPA activities" !"
 In answering questions concern ing his qualifications as Secre- tary of Commerce, Hopkins said Eff anybody had intimate exper- fence with business during the past six years, it is myself" Al another point he said if he had the job of WPA administrator to do ever again he would not make any political speeches and em- phatically denied that he had eV- CT made the remark We. spend and spend, tax and tax, elect and and elect" that several newspa- per correspondents attributed to him. Anybody who knows any thing about practical politics in the counties of America must not be surprised that even some WPA officials have been coerced into it" he said.
 A House meeting tomorrow will take up the FPS million dol lar work relief bill.

Charges Felix Frankfurter As
 Communistic

WASHINGTON, Jan. II (P1-- A woman author, Mrs. Elizabeth Dnling, is opposing Felix Frank durter's nomination to the Su- preme Court and offered to prove to the Senate committee that President and Mrs. Roosevelt are dangerous radicals
 The offer came after Chairman Nicely of the Judiciary subcom- 7n;ttee. questioned her about charges made against many pro- minent people including Frank furter. Chairman Neely opened Mrs. billings book entitled Red Network and noted that it class es the Roosevelts as dangerous radicals by inference"
 The fast-talking witness in a high pitched voice said, Do you want evidence? Just give me fifteen minutes, I'll prove it. Ii these facts are not true, then ought to be in jail
 Medley noting that many Sen ators were listed as radicals said apparently Mrs. Dilling "wanted to put many persons in jail" .'No,.g don't want to put them in ,ail., don't want to put Frank furter on the Supreme Court, she said. The witness described the American Civil Liberties Union as radical and commm- istic and added that Frankfurter as a Harvard law professor ser we'd as a director for seven years and still is one"

Chamberlain Is To Advise
 Mussolini

UNDATED, Jan. 10 (P)-Prirne Minister Chamberlain left Lon don in another attempt to smooth Europe's authorization powers through face to face talks with their leaders, this time with Mussolini. The sweeping insur- gent offensive in Spain in which new successes are reported Will be factor expected to en- ter into the Rome talks in which Chamberlain would like to learn the 1889 plans of the Rome, Der lin, and Tokyo triangle.
 Reports of growing German and Italian efforts to dominate Spain in her strategic Mediter- ranean outpost cast shadow on the premier's departure. With a flourish Of the familiar u1nbrel- Ia that accompanied him to Berg chteSgrden, C eSburg and Mun- ich last autumn, Chamberlain left, carry last minute reports from French Ambassador Charles Corbin that Germanys new fleet of "minnow submarines" were being built to hamper French and British shipping in the Med iterranean.
 Authoritative sources in Paris where Chamberlain and his ac- companying Foreign Secretary Halifax arranged for a brief stop over tea, declared that he will advise Mussolini to patch up his quarrel with France over colon- ies.

Commission Offers
To Test Applicants
For u. ). Academies
Arrangement Would
Remove Suspicion
Of Fuvoritism

Because of the demand upon
Senators and members Of the House
for designation of youthful residents
in their districts for appointments to
cadetships at the United States
Military and Naval Academies, the
Civil Service Commission is offering
its aid In conducting examinations
so that applicants may be selected
on competitive basis. This method,
it was pointed out, leaves the men,
ber free from suspicion of favoritism
and makes the appointment simply
on a merit basis. The commission
has offered to prepare the questions,
attend to the printing and shipping
of papers, arrange time and place
for examinations, assign examiners
to preside over the examination
rooms. rate the papers and transmit
| the results to the Senator or Repre-
sentative.
However, the commission has
pointed out that one examination
date will be scheduled each year and
it will not be possible to conduct
oESSldl ShdALlllldllolAo dllo 1ouC VIC
papers. The tests are to be con-
Quoted in the cities where the COM
mission generally conducts its regu-
| lar civil service examinations. The
member of Congress would notify his
candidates of time and place of
examinations and the letters of
notification will be taken as Gre
, InnfiolS nf tho candidate
Because of the exacting physical
requirements for appointment to the
two academies, the commission
pointed out, it is advisable that
nominated candidates appear before
qualified physician and undergo
thorough physical examination, as
such action may eliminate the posi-
bility of candidates being nominated
and passed only to be rejected later
because of physical condition.
1t was indicated that number
OF congressman already have stat
ed their intention of using the
facilities of the commission, faced
as they are with the problem of
picking from a large group worthy
candidate and one who would have
fair chance of passing the entrance
tests and getting through the
| schools.
1t was called to the attention
OF the members of Congress that
candidates for the Naval Academy
must have reached their 18th birth
day on April /, but must not have
reached their goth birthday on
March 81 of the year of entering
the academy. Candidates for West
Point must have reached their 18th
birthday but must not have reached
their 22d birthday on the date of
entrance.
The examinations for the Military
Academy require 6i2 hours, while
those for the Naval Academy one
hour less. Tests in algebra, plane
geometry, English composition and
literature are required for both
academies. The Military Academy
tests also include ancient history.
United States history and grammar,
while that for the Naval Academy
requires United States history and
solid geometry.

Two Important Civic Jobs
Immediately Ahead.


Two civic jobs which are not
dependent upon legislation by
Congress nor action by the local
government loom Immediately
ahead. They are jobs for the To-
cal citizenry and those tempo
rarily domiciled within our gates.
The first is the annual roll call
of the District of Columbia Chap
ter of the American Red Cross.
This will open next Thursday,
September %. and continue
through October 10. Here is
job in which all organizations and
individuals should consider it
privilege to have part. During
the last year the local chapter
made membership gain of 20
per cent. But the increase should
be even greater for the next year.
The record of achievement of
the local chapter and the gen.
eral organization is one for which
every American should feel proud.
Here is an opportunity to help
enroll a large membership and
here is an opportunity for every
amount contributed to bring a
big return to the contributor in
the knowledge of having a part
in a great work we'll done.
The other big civic job in the
offing is the annual campaign for
the Community Chest. This will
run from November 8 to % and
the usual systematic plans for the
campaign are now under way.
One of the problems always
confronting these Community
Chest campaigns and the regular
functioning of the Chest is the
making people understand Just
what the Community Chest is
and what it is not. Despite the
many times this has been ex-
planned, there are always those
who fail to get the correct idea.
The Community Chest is
voluntary financial federation for
the raising in one annual Joint
effort the funds to carry on the
charity, welfare and character
building work of the member
units or agencies. In performing
this function it collects and dis
burses the funds to the member
agencies according to approved
budgets and supervises the ac-
counting systems of such units.
1t is not a charity or welfare
organization, but a financial
clearing house for all organiza-
tions which, after rigid examina-
ton, are found to be worthy and
to be rendering efficiently needed
services in the community.
1t is simply the application of
modern business sense and eff
f1ciency to the handling of many
of the community's most difficult
problems.
