today's. If it is wrong to work to
preserve ones self in Office, it is
wrong to go out after an Office. If
the party that Is in power must be
minded, and like Senator
Hatch, whom I supported, I insist
we must be, the other parties should
be high-minded, too. Let us be
high minded about the whole thing.
Il do not wish to be partisan, but
have to be to give an example. If,
then, the only persons who are privi-
legged to work for the Democratic
Party in the coming campaign are
to be those who do not hold office
and are only interested from the
standpoint of good citizenship. then
it follows that the only persons
privileged to work for the other
parties should be those who have
no interest in acquiring an Office
and whose only interest is in good
citizenship.
In other words my main pur-
pose in offering this amendment
is to make the Hatch Act equitable,
and broaden it's scope"
Court Appeal Asked.
Senator Danaher, Republican, of
Connecticut offered another amend
ment today to allow employees fac
ing dismissal for violations of the
act to appeal to the courts.

Hazea Buys First
Ticket for ChiIdren's S
Hospital Benefit
Commissioner and
Committee for Circus
Visit Institution

Commissioner Hazen and men,
bers of the committee arranging
benefit circus for Children's Hos
pital visited the institution yester-
day to inspect the buildings and
learn at first hand the need for
enlarged facilities.
While visiting the small patients,
Commissioner Hazen bought the
first circus ticket from one of them.
He also learned something of the
crowded conditions in the clinics
and wards and of the need for
additional funds to meet an antici-
pated $4,000 deficit this year.
The largest indoor circus ever
seen here will play seven-day en-
gagement, beginning April Is, at
Riverside Stadium, for the benefit
of the hospital fund. The elephants,
clowns and as many acts as pos
sible will be brought to the hospital
grounds after the circus arrives,
for an outdoor performance for the
young patients, it was announced.
The hospital, it was said, is much
in need, among other things, of
comparatively small sum to enlarge
the clinical space on the ground
floor. Under present conditions,
lines of young patients waiting for
clinical attention sometimes extend
all the way into the street. Matte
M. Gibson, superintendent of the
hospital, hopes to add to the clinic
space by utilizing three walls of
the present building to inclose a
section of ground now used as a
play area.
Members of the committee in
charge of the circus who accom-
panied the Commissioner yesterday
were Rear Admiral C. Russell Train,
U. S. NJ, retired, chairman; Rear
Admiral David Foot Sellers and
Robert B. Swope. vice president of
the hospital. Tickets have been
placed on sale at headquarters of
the benefit, 1858 Pennsylvania ave-

which employees engage in poll
ties, but gives the Civil Service
Commission authority to recon-
mend dismissal of the employees be-
fore the Federal aid is restored.
The President said at his press
conference yesterday that If the act
is to apply to one type of Federal
workers, the argument in favor of 1t
should apply also to other employees
receiving all or part of their pay
from the Federal Treasury.
Senator Miller, Democrat, of Ark
ansas. however, sought to strike out
the present ban on political activity
by Federal workers. He would re-
tain restrictions against coercion or
intimidation of employees.

to Blue Plains from one to four
years ago to recuperate from an ILL
ness or operation. They are stay
ing there because they are unable
to find work. Others have been
sent to Blue Pla>as after being re-
leased from Jail because they could
find no work. Nine Of these groups
of young and middle-aged INDECENT
were recommended for transfer to
other institutions.
The physicians voiced belief that
a shelter for young single men in
the center of the city would be
more suitable solution of this prob
lem, because of the inaccessibility of
Blue Plains to the city and its en-
ployment agencies.
Many With Impaired Sight.
The investigators found more than
$50 cases of unilateral or bilateral
cataracts araong the inmates, very
few of which have received the
benefits of any surgery On this
point, the physicians had this to
say:
"The aged have all too few pleas
ures and a certain degree of vision
Is a prerequisite for many of these.
1t is pitiful to see so many at the
home unable to read or even to find
their way to the dining room with
out assistance, when corrective sur
gerry and glasses could restore these
slight pleasures
While they found no active or
infectious syphilictic cases, the in
vestigators estimated that more
than 200 of the inmates have had
the disease and that many of these
need active treatment, but only a
small number are receiving it.
The physicians declared. however,
that the inadequacy of medical
treatment at the home cannot be
traced to the superintendent, the
one physician on part-time duty or
the graduate nurse.
Too Much Work to Do.
What they are doing in the way
of medical care is being we'll done"
the report said, but they are con-
stantly confronted with infinitely
more than they can possibly accom-
pish."
The physicians said it was an
unusual experience Ito see several
hundred patients reasonably happy
under the circumstances, when so
much could be done to improve the
food, recreational facilities, sur
roundings and treatment with only
limited expenditure"
The report said many of the
classes of illness cannot be cared for
in the city's clinics because of the
limited transportation facilities.
Only seven patients can be sent to
the Gallinger syphilis clinic on Sat-
urday mornings in the homes one
station wagon, while 10 times this
number would benefit from such
treatment, the report added.

He said "it is not true that it will

Disturbances Serious.
Disturbances in Palestine were
described as much more serious
than first reported
Dispatches from Jerusalem said a
British constable was injured as po-
lice yesterday broke up demonstra-
tions by stone-hurling crowds of
Jews protesting the laws restricting
transfer of land from Arabs to Jews.
Windows of buildings along Jaffa

Senator Peppers Alligator
Found After 4-Duy Search

An alligator in which Senator
Pepper, Democrat, of Florida 'is
very much interested because it's
his namesake" was found today
after four-day search through the
Senate Office Building.
Claude, the alligator, vanished
Saturday when Senator Pepper
freed him from his glass pen for

But as days passed, Senator Pepper
became greatly concerned when
Claude did not appear for meals.
So the Senator led a search. His
staff said he looked under every
table.
A lookout was quickly posted
throughout the building for brown
