following her Police Court cOnvic-
ton.

ward Buckley. jr. Miss Powell was
convicted before Judge Edward NJ
Curran of Police Court on July II,
but her lawyer contends that she

portunity TO have the case referred
to another Judge Mr.. Buckley

who has just returned from a trip

answer for. the Government shortly.

Ruilroud Retirement
Benefits Are Started

BY the Associated Press.
The Railroad Retirement Board be-
gins paying benefits this week un-
der the unemployment insurance
system established by Congress in
1888 for railroad workers Some
IS 900 claims for benefits are on file.
The most an employe can receive
under the system is $240 a year. The
benefits are payable for a maximum
period OF 80 days to workers who
qualify and can show they earned
$3.50 in the previous year.
Benefits are computed on a daily
basis. If the total wages in COW
cred employment ranged from $3.50
to 5000 the previous year, the unem-
ployed worker is entitled to a daily
benefit rate of Sl.75. The daily rate
goes as high as 49, Benefits are
paid, however, only for eight days in
each l5-day period of unemploy-
ment.

McNutf 10 Select Aides
With Commission 0, K,

Paul v. McNutt, the new admin
1strator Of the Federal Security
Agency, will have to get approval
from the Civil Service Commission
before appointing an assistant ad-
ministrator. under an executive
order issued by President Roosevelt
yesterday.
The order provides that the as
sistant administrator-who will be
paid $1,000 annually-and a private
secretary or confidential assistant
to the assistant, could be appointed
outside the civil service, but subject
to the establishment before the Civil
Service Commission of the requisite
qualifications In each case"
The Civil Service Commission re-
Gently directed the attention of the
Budget Bureau to the fact that un-
der the language of Plan No. l, de-
scribing the creation of Federal Sc
curity Agency, Federal Works
Agency and Federal Loan Agency,
the assistants to the administrators
in each instance would have to be
chosen by competitive examination
unless provision was made otherwise
by executive order. The order. con-
sequently, gives Administrator Nc
Mutt free rein in selection of his
aide, provided his choice can satisfy
the commission as to his qualifica-
tions.
