EMPLOYMENT

EMPLOYMENT go Federal en-
ployment continues to maintain a
consistent upward trend according
to the report for March just re
leased by the United States Civil
Service Commission Employees
in the executive branch totaled
945, 1886, a net increase Of about g.
800 over February, and gain Of
66,332 during the year. The pay
roll in March, 1889 was $134 ,622,-
972 as compared with S142, ,912, ,985
in March this year. The reorgan-
izction plan has been in effect
since July /, 1889, designed to re-
duce expenditures and increase eff
ficiency, but the monthly payroll
for federal employees in the exec
utive departments has increased
about S5,0O0,00O month, or S60,-
000,0 a year.
WAR REFLECTIONS The Eu-
ropean war emergency is having
repercussions in this country in
the passage of legislation designed
to give extreme powers to execu-
tive agencies. Typical of this
trend was House enactment, un-
der suspension of the rules May 8,
of a resolution authorizing the
Maritime Commission to sell or
charter more than 100 ships, or l.
100000 tons, of the laid-up fleet.
Owners of intercoastal ships have
transferred registry to foreign
countries because of the attractive
war trade. This has decreased the
number of ships in American
trade, and makes it possible to sell
the lafd-up ships which have been
reserved for emergency use. The
bill does not restrict the sale to
Americans, so there is a prospect
that, after many millions of dol
lars have been paid in subsidies to
develop our merchant marine, it is
probable these ships will be sold
and later transferred to foreign
registry. OF course, this would be
harmful to the merchant marine
and also jeopardize the national
defense. More wartime power to
federal agencies!
SUGAR ACT-The House Agri-
cultural Committee, on May Z, re-
ported out bill to continue the
Sugar Act of 1887 for one year.
No changes in the act are propos-
ed which means that there are now
no restrictions on refining of i'm
ported sugar from Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, and Cuba under the quotas.
As result, refiners in the East are
opposed to years extension.
while the President is reported
friendly to off-shore refiners. This
controversy will be presented to
the House, but no sugar legislation
may evolve at this session. South

CAA TRANSFER - The Presi-
dents proposal to transfer the
Civil Aeronautics Authority from
independent status where it has
functioned efficiently to the De
partment of Commerce was disap-
proved by the House May s by a
vote of 232 to 153. Yet On Tues
day Of this week. since the reor-
ganization act requires negative
action by both Houses to prevent
consummation Of any plan, the
President won smashing victory
when the Senate sustained his plan
by a vote of As to "a. The Sen
ate's action means that the Presi-
dents plan to abolish the Air Safe

independent CAA to the Com
merce Department will take effect

SIGHTSEEING 49, One of the
most interesting buildings to be
visited in the vicinity of Washing
ton is one most often missed by
sightseers, the George Washington
Masonic National Memorial Tenn
pie. This Temple, visible both
from Washington and Mount Yer
non, rises 400 feet above the town
of Alexandria. Costing five mill
lion dollars and now thirteen years
in building, the Temple, erected on
the site once proposed for the Cap
itol of the United States, has been
raised by the contributions of more
than three million Masons. The
lofty structure, intended as a last
ing tribute to Washington the Ma
son, was successfully designed by
Harvey Wiley Corbett, of New
York, to be a model of conspicu-
BUSINESS. From square base
with a Greek temple portico, a SER
les of three cubical units is capped
by steep pyramid. Triple open
ings are found on each face of the
several units. Although unfnish-
ed the Temple is open to the pub
lie from a. m. to p. m, admis-
sion free. Plans have been made
to place the valuable collection of
pictures and relics owned by the
Alexandria-Wash Lodge of
Masons, including the Reynolds
portrait of Lord Thomas Fairfax,
the trowel used by Washington in
laying the cornerstone of the Cap
itol, and the clock which once
stood in Washington bedroom
and which stopped at the moment
of his death, within the temple
when it is more fully completed.
WAR APPROPRIATIONS On
Thursday of this week, President
Roosevelt addressed a joint session
of the Senate and the House ask

THE FORD WAY
OF DOING BUSINESS

! The Ford Motor Company was founded
by working-man for working-snen. Its
present officers began as employees of the
Company. 1t was the first company to pay
minimum wage, beginning in 1914, at
the then astounding figure of S. day.
That was double the prevailing wage of
the time. The Ford minimum is now SO
day for all employees engaged in pro-
duction work. And from that, the wages
rise to S1O.so day, with the average wage
S7.25, exclusive of salaried employees.

Third.Term Foes
Are Outside Political
Laws, Says Leader
PetteneiII Tells Senote
Probers His Group

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PRESS.
Chairman Samuel B. Pettengili
contended today that his Committee
to Uphold Constitutional Govern
ment could campaign against a
without regard to the Hatch Act or
the Federal Corrupt Practices Act.
Mr.. Pettenglll, former Democratic
Representative from Indiana, ar
gued before Chairman Gillette of
the Senate Campaign Investigations
Committee that his organization was
not a political committee and
thus not amenable to the laws regu-
lating political groups.
His stand was disputed by Sol A
ROSenblatt, Democratic National
Committe counsel, who urged grand
jury attention TO any evidence the
Senate commltte had on activities
of the organization headed by Mr..
Pettengill.
Senator Gillette, who conducted
the committee hearing alone. said
Mr.. Rosenblatt's request would be
presented to the full committee
membership later.
Mr. Pettergiii testified that the
organization was not a political COM
mittee, although openly opposed to
a third presidential term. because it
was not concerned with candidates
but only with a constitutional is
Sue.s-+S@t srs-= & sv-r-s''
Mr.. PettengiI, under questioning,
said that the committee had asked
contributions for a s150.o0O fund to
finance anti-third-term appeals to
25,000000 persons through news
paper advertisements and direct
mail.
The witness said the organization
had not reported its contribution or
expenditures to the secretary of the
House because it had the opinion of
John w. Davis. former Democratic
candidate for President, that it was
not a political committee within
bounds of Federal law.
Mr.. Rosenblatt charged that the
paid newspaper appeals OF the COM
mittee had been labelled political
advertisement" that one member of
the committee was a former con-
vict who was found guilty of espi-
onage," and that contributors to the
committee received "no-thlrd-
term" button used to aid the Re-
publican candidate.
