President Places Curb
On Civil Service Transfers

For the duration of the emer-
gency, President Roosevelt today
ordered that civil service examina-
lions or certification of persons al
ready in Federal employ be permit
ted only on consent of the agency
in which the applicant is currently
or most recently has been attached.
Such consent, the President di-
rected in an executive order, shall
be based solely upon finding that
the applicant "can render better
service for the Government in the
position for which the examination
is held or for which certification is
requested"
BY the order, the Civil Service
Commission lis hereby directed to
refuse examination to any person
who is, or who has been within three
months of the date of the eXamina-
ton, employed in the civilian ex-
ecutive branch of the Federal Coy
eminent, or to certify any such per-
son who is on the eligible register Of
the commission, unless such person
submits the written assent of the
department or Office in which he IS
or has been employed to his taking
such examination or to his being so
certified"

Proclamation Gives Roosevelt Full Powers
To Deal With Any Crisis, Legal Experts Say

ney General in 1899, informed Con-
gress in an opinion that "the Execu-
tive has powers not enumerated in
the statutes-powers derived not
from statutory grants, but from the
Constitution.
1T is universally recognized that
the constitutional duties of the Ex-
ecutive carry with them the con-
stitutional powers necessary for
their proper performance. These
constitutional powers have never
been specifically defined, and, in
fact, cannot be since their extent
and limitations are largely depend
ent upon conditions and circum-
stances.
I'm measure this is true with re-
spect to most of the powers of the
Executive, both constitutional and
statutory. The right to take specific
action might not exist under one
state of facts, while under another
it might be the absolute duty of the
Executive to take such action.
When Mr.. Roosevelt was inaugu-
rated for his first term in 1888, he
proclaimed a national emergency
and invoked his extraordinary pow
ers in those financially critical mo-
ments to close the countrys banks.
The President, it was pointed out,
is authorized to declare emergencies

an emergency. His proclamat ton
gives him no power he did not have
a month ago"
Senator Taft apparently referred
to the limited emergency" which
Mr.. Roosevelt proclaimed in 1889
Government legal experts said that
no clear-cut distinction existed be-
tween limited" and unlimited"
emergency, and hence technically
the President might invoke his full
powers in either case. In their opin-
ion the Presidents purpose in pro-
claiming an unlimited emergency
was to bring home to the people a
realization of the full gravity of the
hour.
Senator Shipstead, Republican, of
Minnesota, another administration
foe on some policies, said: II think
the President should have explained
to the people just what powers he
expected to exercise under his un-
limited declaration, because those
powers were granted under the
stress of war in 1917 and very few
people. including most members of
Congress, understand them"
Although Senator Shipstead re-
ferred to 1917. it was not known
whether the President acted under
the authority of any specific statute.
Murphy Opinion Recalled.

President Roosevelt's proclama-
ton of an unlimited national emer-
gency-an act without known pre-
cedent in American history-places
powers at his disposal to deal with
virtually any contingency, legal ex-
perts said today.
Except for an actual declaration
of war-something Congress alone
can make-President Roosevelt was
represented as having full authority
to meet any crisis.
His powers, legal experts say,
would permit him, for instance, to
commander or shut down radio
stations, to take over utilities to OBJ
tain the necessary electricity for
munitions production, or to compel
transportation priority for move
ment of troops or war materials.
In each case, it was noted, however,
a specific Presidential proclamation
would be required.
This Interpretation did not go
unchallenged in some congressional
circles, however.

Staggered Pay Days
For D. {. Employees
Wait on u. ). Action
Commissioners Approve
PIon When Told No
LEGISLATION Is Needed

The Commissioners today infor-
mally approved a system Of stag
gered pay days for District govern
ment employees, but decided to wait
for Federal Government action be-
fore issuing any order.
The question was taken up in
board meeting. with Corporation
Counsel Richmond B. Keech called
in to elaborate on his opinion sub
mitted earlier that no legislation
would be needed to make it apply to
all District employees except the Dis
trict schoolteachers, Librarians and
clerks.
While Commissioner J. Russell
Young favored putting the plan into
effect soon and all three Commits
sioners have individually approved
the plan in principle, decision to
await Federal action was taken at
the suggestion of Engineer Commits
sioner Charles, w. Kutz. The feel
ing was, it was said, that staggering
the District pay days would have lit
tie effect on city business and traffic
conditions unless the Federal estab-
lishment made similar change.
The plan contemplated by the city
heads would keep two pay days a
month for each employe but would
stagger the dates on which disburse-
ments would be made.
No L, S. Statute Found.
Meanwhile. Representative Hebert
Democrat, of Louisiana, who asked
Attorney General Jackson for a
legal opinion whether legislation
would be required to stagger Federal
pay days. said he had been informed
there was no statute requiring Fed
eral employees to be paid on any
particular day or days.
Mr.. Hebert, sponsor of four pay
day month bill, said the Attorney
General had told him the present
practice of paying Federal employees
on the 18th and last of the month
had been developed in the Treasury
Department.
From this information, Mr.. Hebert
said he believed staggered pay days
could be accomplished by the Treas
ury without either legislation or
executive order. He added, however,
that he would continue to work for
his bill to safeguard staggered
pay system in the future.
The movement for staggering pay
days for Federal and District workers
has gained considerable momentum
in recent weeks since Representa-
tive Hebert and Senator Capper, Re-
publican. of Kansas, introduced bills
calling for staggering of pay days.
Among the principal reasons given
for the change are that it would
reduce jams of Government workers
on paydays in banks and stores, serve
to maintain a steadier business sit
uation and to some degree reduce
traffic congestion.
Law Mentions Schools Only.
Mr.. Keech, who had been asked by
the Commissioners to explore the
legal and legislative conditions, said
an examination had been made of
the statutes and that no provision
had been found which would pro-
hibit the staggering of paydays for
employees of the District, with the
exception of school teachers and
clerks and librarians in the high and
manual training schools whose serv-
ices commence with the opening day
