Short-Weight Coal Sales
Halted, Roberts Saws

Fraudulent or irregular practices
in the coal business here have been
virtually eliminated under regula-
tions approved by the Commission
ers. George M. Roberts. superin-
tendent Of weights, measures and
markets. said yesterday.
In reporting to the Commissioners,
Mr.. Roberts said prior to the adop-
ton of regulations the business Of
selling and delivering coal in the
District was 'in bad condition 1"
Consumers, he said, were frequently
defrauded through sales by short
weight. He added that most of the
guilty persons were among those
who haul coal here from q distance
and have no place Of business in or
near here.
The regulations, adopted a year
ago and in effect during the past
few months, allow the Department
Of Weights and Measures to pass on
an applicant before issuing him a
license. Mr.. Roberts said he felt
warranted in reporting to the Com
missioners the situation has been
greatly improved"
During the current winter" he
said, mot q single instance of de-
livery Of short weight coal has come
to attention which has warranted
prosecution"

jackson Would Allow
Tort Suits Against U. 5.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Assoc1Ated Press.
Attorney General Jackson yester-
day recommended passage Of a
pending Senate bill which would
permit the Government to be sued
on certain tort claims. In identical
letters to the chairman of the SEN
ate and House judiciary Commit
tees. Mr.. jackson wrote:
THE subject of tort claims against
the Government has long been a
troublesome and vexatious matter.
The present law, under which the
Government may not be sued in
tort. and such claims can receive
recognition only as a matter of
grace by private acts of Congress.
appears to be not only cumbersome.
but unfair to those persons who
have meritorious claims.
The continued immunity of the
Government to suit on common law
torts does not seem to be warranted
either as matter of principle or as
a matter of justice"
Mr.. Jackson said the pending bill
was drafted by Justice Department
representatives in collaboration with
other agencies and would permit
suits subject to specified safe
guards"

Civil Service Law
Liberalization Hoped
For al This Session
SIiding-SeoIe Retirement
Contribution Apparently
Dropped, However

Hope was expressed last night by
Robert H. Alcorn. chairman of the
Joint Conference on Retirement of
Civil Service Employees, that the
present Congress may be able before
adjournment to work out a measure
liberalizing the law.
He made the statement to empha-
size that, while recent developments
indicate nothing will be done on the
proposal to graduate the employe
contribution according to salary
levels in order to finance lower op-
tional retirement age limits. this
does not mean other desirable
changes in the law have been
postponed.
On the contrary. he said. there
are plans pending and in the max
Ing that would be helpful t0N1rd 1
better law. and 1t is the hope and
desire OF the vast majority Of Gov
ernment employees that these will be
realized at this session"
Chairman Bulow of the Senate
Civil. Service Committee advanced
the sliding-scale contribution pro-
posal merely for study after the two
houses were unable to agree last
year on an increase in the uniform
rate of contribution sufficient to
make possible lower optional age
limits. A Civil Service Commission
report last week on the cost of the
sliding scale plan indicated it would
not accomplish the purpose Senator
Bulow had in mind.
1t is probable, therefore. that fu-
ture efforts to work out more nber;I
optional age limits will be based on
a fiat rate of contribution.
