Finance Question Raised
On School Expansion

While voicing sympathy for the
81 100000 supplemental request by
the Board of Education for ex-
panded school facilities to meet in
creased population caused mostly
by the defense program, the Com
misSioners today questioned how the
additional outlay could be financed.
Engineer Commissioner David Nc
Coach, jr., consulted late yesterday
with school and District officials on
the problem. Among those attend
ing were School Supt. Frank w.

The school board program calls
for eight new elementary school
projects, in addition to sites and
buildings for which funds are re-
quested in the Commissioners regu-
lar 1912 budget. now awaiting con-
gresisonal action.
In his appearance Thursday before
joint congressional committee,
Col. McCoach suggested that the
District could not meet all of its
problems unless there was an in
crease in the Federal payment to-
ward expenses in the National Cap
ital. He supported the plan of Sena-
tor Overton for an increased Federal
payment, using the percentage of
Federally-owned tax exempt prop

Roosevelt Adjusts
Civil Service Rules
To Match Hatch Act
Workers Given Equal
Rights in Voicine
Political Views

An order by President Roosevelt,
which puts civil service employees
in the same category as other Fed
eral employees with regard to ex-
preston of their political opinions
under provisions of the Hatch Act
was made public yesterday.
The order, which went into effect
at once, makes civil service rules
conform to the language of the
Hatch Act, which governs all Fed
eral employees, both civil service and
civil service.
The word privately" in referring
to the manner in which civil service
employees could express political
opinions, was eliminated in an
amendment to the rules promulgated
by the President The Hatch Act
does not contain this modifying
word, over which there had been
considerable discussion.
The eliminated word was con-
tained in the following section of
the rules: 90" Persons who by
the provisions of these rules are in
the competitive classified service,
while retaining the right to vote as
they please and to express privately
their opinions on all political sub
jects, shall take no active part in
political management or in political
campaigns"
Since the Hatch Act does not con-
tain this word, it was felt that a
special restriction had been put on
civil service employees.
In another change effective yes
terday, the President broadened a
section of the rules with regard to
discipline or dismissal of an employe
who holds his position Illegally or
had been engaged in political man.
agement or political campaigns" :"
The amended section eliminates this
latter phrase and makes the rule
cover all violations by employees of
rules or orders or the Civil Service
Act.
