A woman writes.
Dear Mis- Grey: I must admit

What makes II no uncomfortable
for me is this: An old friend Of
mine moved near US and her
youngsters are the same age as
mine. At least once a week the
children engage In a childish quar-
rel and prestol Ny friend Is on
the telephone asking me to punish
my youngsters for something they
did to her darling Mary Ann or
her Jimmy. Jr.
am purposely garbling this ac-
count because I do not want to
give myself away too plainly. but
IN the main It rings true.
This friend never takes into con-
alteration that her children are no
doubt ~ much to blame for a
childish quarrel as are mine.

tell her 90 In evaporation. So

idea and she always bristles with
indignation. Then for week she

because she Is very charming
woman when she does not allow
the children to interfere with our
friendship. But just rs soon as
we patch things up the children

Of rage and temper and once again

CHAPTER V
'T am not accusing anyone OF
Arnold Benthorne's murder-yet, =
Captain Dawson said. The fact
that you once captained a pistol
team does not make you a killer.
I could have found out from the
records anyway. but I prefer to
have you tell me-"
Helen Benthorne sobbed into the
back of her chair. "Oh-I can't
I can't stand any moret"
Gently, Dawson lifted her to her
feet. Il know. I know he said
soothingly. You may go upstairs
now. try TO get some rest" He led
her to the doorway. beckoned to
Krone, standing at the end of the
hall. Take Mrs. Benthorne to her
room. Check the quarters care
fully, make sure all the doors are
locked E.. There is no need for
you to be frightened, Mrs. Ben
torne. There will be an officer
within call"
She tried to smile her thanks,
but it was a feeble effort.
And Krone" Dawson added.
Send that butler, Jameson, here"
You called for me Captain
Dawson ?" Jameson bowed stiffly
as he entered the room. Dawson
stopped his pacing across the study
floor.
Yes" he snapped. Where
were you when Benthorne was
shot ?"
II had just let Mr.. Aston in the
back entry. sir" Jameson said.
Il wanted to take his things-his
wet coat and hat-but he seemed
to be in a hurry. I knew Mrs,
Benthorne was expecting him-she
had asked me to be sure he got in
the back way all right. He-Mr
Alston-seemed quite upset, If ]
may say so, sir"
you may. What did Aston
do?"
He started up the back stair
way-it's closer to Mrs. Ben
thorne's rooms-and told me to &C
to bed And he told me not to
tell Mr.. Benthorne that he-Mr
Alston-was in the house"
And then what did you do ?"
II went directly to my quarters

beyond the kitchen. Daniels, the
chauffeur, was there. We'd been

at Mr.. Benthornes study to say
good night to him. To tell the
truth sir, forgot all about your
order for the front door.

What side entrance ?"

these and other provisions of the bill
are so meritorious, and the country
has been so aroused as to the need
for them, entertain no doubt as
to the ultimate passage of legisla-
ton covering these matters.
From my standpoint, one other
section of the bill is not in such
happy position. Under the Senate
bill, a section which has come to be
known as section 9, goes further
than such legislation has heretofore
gone. This section of the bill strikes
at what I conceive to be an age-old
evil in this country.
Under existing laws, there are
thousands of Federal employees who
are not under civil service. These
employees fill many and various
Offices and positions. They include
United States district attorneys, COL
lectors of customs, collectors of in
ternal revenue and thousands of
others occupying clerical or subordi-
nate positions in Government. In
many respects they differ in no way
or principle from the half million
or more employees of the Federal
Government now under civil service
rules. Under these rules, it is pro-
vided in substance that all such en-
ployes are prohibited from using
official authority or influence for
the purpose of interfering with an
election or affecting the results
thereof" Those rules also provide,
Evening star., 1939-06-27

opinions on all political subjects,
but they shall take no active part
IN political management or in
political campaigns"
In short, civil service employees Of
the Government, and there are
more than 100000 of them, are pro-
hibited from political activity in
political campaigns.
Wholesome Rule"
believe in this rule; believe
1t Is wholesome rule for Govern
ment. For approximately so years,
1t has been in effect and has been
applicable to employees under the
civil service. It has been tested
by the experience of the years. No
party would dare propose that it
be abolished.
Believing as we do that the rule
Is a wholesome one, the sponsors
OF the bill saw no reason why it's
provisions against political activity
should not apply to other similar
employees Of the Federal Govern
ment. Therefore, we, wrote this
Evening star., 1939-06-27

civil service rule into section ..
We now seek to make 1t applicable
to all employees Of the Federal Gov
ernment, except those who I'LL what
are called policy making positions.
Never did I interpret the bill to
be broad enough to include officials
such as the President, members of
his cabinet, and members OF the
Congress. Certainly they are not
employees of the Government in
the sense the word "employe" Is
customarily used. They are officials
Of the United States of America.
But criticism has been made of Sec
tion 8 because some said it would
include these officials and would
even prevent member of Con-
gress from making q speech in
his own behalf in his own cam
paign. To me. that is a most un-
justified construction of the Ian
guage of section 9. However, to
allay the fears to those who so in
terpreted the bill, I have redrafted
section 8 to definitely exclude from
Evening star., 1939-06-27

its terms those omcials who are
charged with the duties Of carry
ing on policy-making functions Of
the Government. I will understand
how the President, members of Con-
gress, cabinet officials and such
ofhcers are In a sense purely politi-
cal of1cials. They must go forth
on the stump, over the radio and
through the press and carry to the
people their policies and programs
OF Government, even As I am now
doing, defending them, If necessary,
from assault and attack. It would
clearly be wrong to prevent such
officials and their employees from
carrying on, in a legitimate way,
the political aspects of the admin
istration. Under the redraft Sec
ton 9 which I have prepared, such
officials will not be precluded at
all from exercising every just, le-
gitimate and necessary function of
their office, including the political
