Urging greater cooperation
among all groups concerned with de-
tense recreation, Mr.. McCloskey de-
clared it was their job to "dnd out
how the defense program affects the
people working in it."
II you expect people to work hard
you must expect them to play equal
ly as hard, he said, adding that
commercial recreation people should
work together to keep them out of
the honky-tonks"
Letter From Miss Perkins Read.
Mr.. McNutt opened the conference
by reading a letter from Secretary

Mead Pushes
Bill 10 Promote
u. 5. Employees
Hopes to Call Up
Measure Again in
Senote Monday

Senator Mead, Democrat, OF New
York. hopes to call up in the Senate
again Monday the systematic pro-
motion plan for Government en-
ployes, which was postponed after
brief debate yesterday afternoon.
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat of
wyoming, objected to its passage
yesterday under the unanimous con-
sent rule. which limits debate, after
he had raised question as to the
probable cost of the program.
Later in the day Senator Mead
conferred with Majority Leader
Barkley and Minority Leader Nc
Nary, and announced he would
make formal motion to take up
the bill Monday. which would make
possible more thorough discussion.
Uniform System Lacking.
The bill, already passed by the
House, grew out of a study made
by the Budget Bureau at the sug-
gestion of the House Appropriations
Committee, of the lack of uniform
lty in promoting employees in the
various government departments
and bureaus.
1t developed that. through lack of
uniform system, some agencies
nave been in a position to move
employees up within grades of the
classification act much faster than
other agencies, depending on the
amount of money available in each
case
Under the pending bill employees
below the $1,000 level would be ad-
Vanced one salary step within grade
every l8 months if their efficiency
ratings were satisfactory. EMPLOYEES
above $1,000 would be promoted
every 80 months.
Senator O'Mahoney asked for
postponement of action after noting
IN the committee report an estimate
That over a 10-year period the plan
would cost $29,0000O
The report also pointed out that
the increase in pay roll for each
year, If averaged over 10 wears.
would be less than S3O0O,OOO, and
that after the plan had been in
operation for 10 years the lapses
resulting from turnover and line
promotions would almost equal the
annual cost of granting the in
creases to the eligible employees
and there would be no further ad-
ditional cost.
Senator Meade suggested that
without uniform system promo
tions during the next 10 years might
result in a greater cost than under
this bill.
Promotions Held Up.
For the time being. however. there
can be no promotions within grades
OF the Classification Act. because
congress, anticipating action on the
pending Ramspeck-Meade promo
ton plan, provided in the second
oenclency bill last week that no ap-
preparations for the current wear
can be used for advancement within
grades. until uniform system is
enacted. This ban will apply
throughout the current fiscal year.
unless Congress passes the Rams
peck-Mead or some similar plan.
Senator Hill, Democrat, of Ala
oama tried without success to add
to the bill yesterday an amendment
TO lift in part the ban against anv
employees of the Farm Security Ad-
mlnlstratlon being brought under
civil service. The ban was carried
IN the second deficiency bill last
week. Senator Hill moved that it
be modified to apply only to tenn
porary employees, but Senator
Adams, Democrat. of Colorado said
II that were done he would object
TO passage of the promotion bill.
and Senator Hill withdrew his
motion

Ickes Sees Rationino
Unless Public HELPS
Conserve Gasoline
Secretary Proises
Efforts Here Toward
Voluntary Cooperation

Rationing of gasoline almost GER
tainly will have to be imposed un-
less the public gives full co-opera-
tion in the voluntary program for
conserving the fuel. Interior Secre-
tary Ickes. the oil co-ordinator,
warned yesterday.
In q letter to Commissioner
Hazen, Mr.. Ickes praised the pro-
gram for voluntary cooperation
drafted by the District Petroleum
Conservation Committee, headed by
Maj. Beverly c. Snow, assistant en-
gineer commissioner. Mr.. Ickes
has asked the Governors of Is East
Coast States, from Maine to Florida.
to adopt similar campaigns.
Much Is at Stake.
Mr.. Ickes said:
The District definitely has taken
the lead in organizing for voluntary
participation by the public in ef-
forts to conserve our swiftly dwin-
ding stocks of petroleum products
on the East Coast.
Il hope that the District Com
missioners and the citizens of the
District. having adopted this pro-
gram, will not simply let it 60 At
that. No matter how excellent a
program is formulated, it becomes
meaningless if not put into ageres-
sive, effective action. 1 hope that
the Nation can count on vigorous
prosecution Of this program by the
District. There is much at stake in
the movement for conservation of
petroleum. Successful operation Of
the program in the District will set
an example for all other cities in
the affected area.
Cooperation Preferable.
unless we have full participation
by the public in these efforts, it is
practically certain that restrictions
on the use OF gasoline will have to
be imposed. 1t seems to me that
voluntary cooperation by the in
dividual motorist would be vastly
more preferable to him than a
ration card"

UndesirobIes Use Bonkbooks
To Evode Vogroncy Law
Other'LoophoIes Also Said to Make
Statute Ineffective in Fighting Crime

vagrants of the streets. II some one
offered to post bond for them, the
problem of the community was
solved. The $500 bond still is the
penalty. In lieu of bond, the va
grant is sent to the workhouse for
a year.
Actually, few OF the characters
the police would like to get at are
unable to post bond. This case is
cited:
A pickpocket arrives in town and
operates at the ball park or a con-
vention for a week. He has lifted
perhaps a dozen purses and may
make as much as $500 from his
labors. He is caught and penalized
by the $500 bond. He pays out IS
for each hundred dollars Of the
bond. His loss is S25.
New Terminology Needed.
The law provides that his free
dom is conditioned on good be-
havior If he were caught again,
he could be put away for q while,
but he doesn't stay to get caught.
He decides the heat is on and
proceeds to some other place to
operate.
Some ofncials believe that no con-
sistent effort has been made by
police to enforce the law. One Of
ficial suggested that If a patrolman
kept a record of the times he had
seen a loafer hanging around a
poolroom, he would be able to pre-
sent the record in court to prove
the man could not be employed.
But there would still be the prob
lem OF getting around the mans
bank book or the dollars in his
pocket.
Proponents Of a new law would
like one that takes care of the peo-
pie who refuse to do any legitimate
work. As one official pointed out.
We're trying to cover vice with
term whose Interpretation. under
common law, does not cover the type
of problem we're now facing"

D. T.. Co|ored Leaders
Confer With Hazen
To Fight Crime Wave
Lack of Recreation
Facilities BIomed
For Juvenile Cases

Seven local colored leaders were
to confer with Commissioner Hazen
today to offer their cooperation in
q citizens movement against crime.
All were representatives of the Fed
Grafton Of Civic Associations, con-
cerned because 80 many crimes are
charged to our people"
Colored persons who have lived in
Washington for some time are not
responsible for the crime wave, de-
clared Howard D. Woodson, chair
man of the federation's special COM
mittee on crime and president of
the Northeast Boundary Civic As
sociation, before the conference.
"A lot of criminals have been
driven out of the South and come
here. and we will present recon-
mendations to deal with that" he
said.
Another large part of the crime
is the work of juveniles who have
no adequate recreational facilities,
he asserted. Mr.. Woodson said his
own home was recently entered and
looted. Police captured youngsters
responsible, he said, and an investi-
cation showed the boys had no good
place to play.
This is the fault of government, ("
he declared.
He said his group would ask for
an exnanded police force ,,nd>r .
strict civil service system.
Others scheduled to appear at the
conference were E. +. Harris, presi-
dent of the federation; Mrs. Velma
G. Williams, vice president of the
group and member of the Board of
Education: Woolsey w. Hall, w. D.
Nixon, DR.. c. Herbert Marshall,
president of the local branch of the
National Association for Advance
ment of Colored People, and G. w.
Beasley.
