A bill to require the German
American Bund, the Communist

port their activities to the Attorney
General got clear track" signal in
the Senate today as congressional
leaders were rounding out a pro-
gram Tightening restrictions on

House members were told during

The Senate has ready for con-

80 Per Cent Growth
In City Merit Systems
Noted in ; Years
86o Now Have Portion
Of Employees Under
Some Civil Service

Close to q 80 per cent increase in
the number Of municipal merit sys-
TENS occurred within the last three
years in the United States. while
State and Federal employees were
brought under civil service by the
thousands, Nation wide census on
the merit system by the Civil Serv-
ice Assembly Of the United States
and Canada shows.
A total Of 869 cities now have at
least a portion Of their employees
under some type Of civil service,
whereas three years ago the num-
ber stood at 674. Since 1887, when
the assembly made its first census,
eight States have adopted merit
system laws for the great majority
Of their employees, bringing the total
number with civil service to II. Two
additional States since 1897 have
adopted laws applying to a limited
number of their employees, and all
States, by recent amendment to the
Social Security Act, are applying
merit system coverage to public as
sistance and unemployment COM
pensation employees.
U. S. Service Extended.
In the Federal Government, ap-
proximately $4,000 employees have
been placed under the classified civil
service since 1887, mainly by execu-
tive order. The percentage of Fed
eral employees under the merit sys-
tenn, which had declined from 80
to about so per cent In the last dec
ade, Is now back up to more than
10 per cent.
Most Of the merit systems adopt
ed during the past three years at
the municipal level have been in
cities of less than 100000 population,
the assembly said. Eighty per cent
Of the larger cities already had civil
service in 1887, according to the CEN
sus of that year. Extension of civil
service into county jurisdictions has
been slight. Only 173 of the 3,053
counties now operate under some
form of civil service. four of the
adoptions occurring within the last
four years.
Depression Is Factor.
Among factors credited with max
ing the merit system a live issue
during the current period are the
business depression, which helped
focus citizen attention on govern
ment, and the establishment of
many new governmental services
with consequent interest in meth
DDS of recruiting public employees.
Nationwide campaigns by various
civic organizations and professional
and public employe groups provided
considerable stimulus, along with
the report of the Presidents Com
mittee on Administrative Manage
ment, which called for an exsnsion
OF the merit system upward. out
ward and downward to cover all
Notwithstanding posts
The complete list of jurisdictions
with partial or entire civil service
coverage of employees in the as
sembly census totals 1,099. This in
cludes the Federal Government, the
48 States, 1863 cities, 173 counties and
8 special districts. In addition, four
Hawaiian counties, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, the Commonwealth of the
Philippines and certain departments
OF the District of Columbia are op-
Grating under merit systems.

Chicago Grain
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, July 6.-Reports of
scattered showers in the spring
wheat belt, although the moisture
was not considered by experts here
to be sufficient to bring general re-
lief to dry districts, depressed wheat
prices today.
Quotations eased about u cent at
times. In the "a hours ending at
$50 am, the official report showed
some precipitation at Williston,
Devils Lake and Bismarck and at
that hour temperatures ranged from
81 to 70 degrees, with skies cloudy
in some regions. More rainfall was
received in the Canadian spring
wheat belt and the forecast indicated
further precipitation could be ex-
pected.
Clear weather in the Southwest
aided harvest operations. Trade
reports said ordinary No. l hard
wheat was quoted at Kansas City
yesterday at around to 31a cents
over July futures, the lowest basis
in several seasons. However, sales
were reported at 1914 -78. Some No.
red sold here at 80 cents, or a
cent over the Government loan
price.
Northwest reports indicated crop
deterioration has occurred particu-
larly in Northern Red River Valley,
where prospects have declined Is
to so per cent in some instances,
according to private observers. Rain
is needed Immediately.
Corn prices slumped about cent,
with the market Influenced to some
extent, according to pit brokers, by
announcement that farmers can re-
deem 1887 and 1888 corn loans at
SO cents per bushel rather than the
expected 67-cent basis. This rule
was announced to encourage pro-
ducers to take old corn out of
storage for current feeding opera
tions while retaining newer grain
under loan, thus to some extent
easing the restraints holding back
farm supplies from consumption.
Estimates were that 5000 900 BUSH
els of 1887 corn and 135 100000 of
1888 grain are under seal.
Harris, Upham & Co., grain firm,
said this may result in marketing of
some old stored corn particularly
from sections where crop prospects
are good and crib boom is limited.
Oats followed corn, but rye held
about steady. Lard eased slightly.

Lynn woke the next morning with
that wonderful feeling that some
thing exciting and unusual was 60
ing to happen. When she opened her
eyes she could see through the bed
room door the glistening Christmas
tree rising high to the ceiling.
ALI morning Lynn worked hard.
She peeled quantities of potatoes for
her guests, fixed the squash for bak-

improvising a table.
Marty had promised to drop in for
the party, and he came in putting.
before the children began to arrive.
His arms were piled high with bum
dies, he had a Christmas stocking
for every guest, filed with oranges,
candy and toys. And he had a gift
for Lynn. 1t was a pretty compact.
Merry Christmas, Kidd" Marty
said, dropping the bundles onto the
couch.
They just had time to put the
stockings under the tree when the
first guest arrived. Myrtle Price.
an artist who lived above Lynn came
in to help, and soon the studio was
turned into a gay turmoil of wild
youngsters having the time of their
lives.
Marty was a genius with the chill
dren. He got them over their first
shyness. He directed their games
while Lynn and Myrtle worked in
the kitchen to finish the dinner.
They were having a grand time.
Myrtle borrowed chairs from every
body up and down the hall. Two
boys across the way stopped in to
see the fun, stayed on to watch
that the youngsters got their dinner.
Gradually the apartment and its
tumult became the center Of life OF
the big, ramshacxle studio building
Everybody left in the place had to
poke his head into the door to see
the fun. The children ate and ate
until Lynn was afraid they'd be i'll.
The unlimited guests helped clear
the tables, push the tables back
against the walls and then every
body sat down on the floor. Marty
had disappeared. Shortly there was
