Deputy Merit System
Asked by Murphy

Legislation placing all deputy
United States marshals under civil
service was proposed to Congress to-
day by Attorney General Murphy
The proposal followed the confess
sion of a former deputy marshal and
jury custodian in District Court that
he tried to influence jurors in favor
of the defense at the Warning in
come tax trials.
Mr.. Murphy transmitted a sug-
geSted bill with a letter to Speaker
Bankhead and Chairman Summers
of the House Judiciary Committee.
The measure would permit mar
shals to swear in temporary deputies
in case of emergency without regard
to civil service requirements. Such
temporary employment would be
limited to 10 days.
The new Attorney General, stirred
by the disclosures in the Warning
case, has instructed marsnals all

ployes from overworking to the ex-

sist disease" the subcommittee on
public health and hospitals of the
House District Committee in ex-
ecutive session today approved its
report on the hospital.
Chairman Bates, Democrat, of
Kentucky said after the executive
session of the committee:
I'VE feel there should be by all
means an additional medical officer
with a salary around $1,000 which
is similar to the salary of those al
ready employed; at least 40 graduate
nurses, S head nurses, 2 dietitians
3 trained laboratory workers, 4 So
cial service workers, 40 nurses aids
and 80 orderlies."
The subcommittee, which has been
making an investigation of CALM
ger, also found that there should
be an amendment to the law rela-
tive to mental patients to enable
Gallinger to transfer such patients
without making the customary OBJ
servation of some two or three weeks
when the physician in charge knows
beyond question that they are in
need of mental treatment" Chair
man Bates said the investigation
revealed that DR.. George c. Ruh-

DR.. Edgar A. Bocock, superintend-

best possible service" with the ap-
preparation given them for this
work.
