Rules Up
For Hearings
Under Hatch Act
Executive Employees
Given IS Days to
Meet Charges

Federal executive civil service
employees accused Of violating
the Hatch Act by taking part in
political management or politi-
cal campaigns, may ask a hear
ing before an examiner with the
right to be represented by coun-
sci, the Civil Service Commission
announced today.
While the granting of such hear
ings is discretionary with the COM
mission, the purpose is to make it
possible for an accused employe to
nave his witnesses examined orally
in his presence, the commission
stated in announcing a revision of
earlier regulations.
Lacks Subpoena Power.
Because it lacks power of sub
poena in proceedings against Fed
eral employees involving charges of
political activity, the commission
announcement emphasized that evi-
dence in support of charges will not
be presented in hearings affecting
Federal employees. These charges
are supported only through state
ments given voluntarily and are
treated as confidential, the commits
sion stated.
In the case of State employees
charged with Hatch Act violations,
the act gives the Civil Service Com
mission power of subpoena with the
right to procure the aid of Federal
court in compelling appearance of
witnesses and production of evi-
dence.
The Hatch Act applies to persons
serving the Government for the du-
ration as we'll as to employees having
a civil service status.
Order to Follow Inquiry.
When the commission concludes
that violation of its rules has been
established it must notify the Of
Tending employe of whatever
charges are made. The employe
then has Is days in which to file an
answer and request a hearing.
The employe may appear person.
ally or by counsel. Commission
counsel may cross examine wit
neSSeS.
At~these hearings an employe
will have the right to have the evi-
dence taken stenographically The
summary and any exceptions must
be certified by the examiner and be-
come part of the record.
The commission said today its
final order in any case will be based
on the entire record, including the
report of the investigation, the
reply of the employe and the report
OF the examiner. If an employe
does. not reply to charges within Is
days a final order will be based on
the report of investigation alone.
Conviction means summary re-
moyal Of an en1ploye. But an en-
pleye removed may apply for rein
statement in any position for which
he can qualify, other than the one
from which he was removed.
With the presidential election to
be held next year, the Civil Service
Commissions revision of earlier
Hatch Act regulations is a matter
of Nationwide concern, observers
pointed out.

clearly the rights and just aims of
labor under the law. to the end that
the grievous conflicts of recent years
may be avoided and that harmony
and cooperation will result, not
only between labor and manage
ment, but also within the ranks of
workers themselves. If labor and
capital, through the failure to un-
derstand each other and voluntarily
cooperate, destroy the system of
free enterprise and initiative, then
each should now recognize that it
must become the slave of the state.
That is facism.
Full victory at home and abroad
in accordance with the principlesswe
have stated will enable the Nation
to assure to the returning members
of our armed forces the full enjoy
ment Of the liberties for which they
have fought and the generous treat
ment which they so richly deserve.

President Gives owl
Freer Hand 10 Issue
Realistic War News

The ONCE of War Information is
to have freer hand under the new
policy to supply the public with
more realistic war news, the Army,
Navy and State Department have
been informed in letters from Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
In any future disagreements with
the Army or Navy, the owl may
appeal to the White House itself,
the President indicated, even when
the services claim military securi-
ty'' as the reason for withholding
facts. Mr.. Roosevelt implied this
was the job for which the agency
was created.
Owl Director Elmer Davis took
his case for more realism IN combat
news, especially in newsreels and
photographs released to newspapers,
to Mr.. Roosevelt last Monday. The
following day the President called
q conference for discussion of the
issue. Mr. Davis attended along
With Army, Navy and state Depart
ment officials.
Graphic Pictures Released.
3 First fruits of The new policy of
realism were derived yesterday when
graphic pictures of American dead
and wounded were released for
publication One of these appears
in today's Star on Page B-1.
The letters from the President did
little more than restate the powers
originally conferred on owl more
than year ago-powets which Owl
never succeeded in exercising fully
but they have tended, authoritative
sources said, to restore Owls DAM
aged prestige and to remind the
armed services that the agency's
recommendations are not to be
ignored.
The presidential letters to Secre-
taries Stimson, Knox and Hull make
it clear that Owl men are to have
full access to military information
and pictures, except the most secret
matters, and that owl will partici-
pate, in an advisory capacity, in the
decisions as to their release.
Owl people frequently have criti-
cized the tendency of the armed
forces to present the war to the pub
lie as one in which nobody gets
hurt" They have voiced the opinion
that the public should realize that
battles produce wounded and crazed
men and that readers should see
pictures of blasted American ships
and planes as well as those of the
Axis.

Trial Of CIatterbuck
To Resume tuesday,;
New Venire Ordered
Winchester Panel Fails
To Yield Jury; Next
List to Be From Madison
ey E staff Correspondent of The Star

LEESBURG, Va, Sept. 7-After
it was found that only six of so
veniremen from Winchester were
acceptable, Judge j. r. H. Alexander
of Loudoun County Circuit Court
today set next Tuesday for the re-
sumption of the trial of Thomas
William Clatterbuck, charged with
the Staying on June of Walter
Russell.
Judge Alexander, permanently dis
missing the six men, directed that
the next venire be from Madison
County. Madison, county seat, Is
about so miles southwest of Leesburg
and about 80 miles west of Wash
ington.
AS one prospective juror after an
other, told the court that he had
fixed opinions in the case, it became
evident before adjournment at 2.20
pm. that the necessary panel of 90
could not be obtained from VIM
chester.
OF the so, % were excused for
having fixed opinions, II for scruples
against capital punishment, eight
for physical reasons, one for nom
residence and one because of illness
in his family.
Panel of 20 Necessary.
Court attaches explained that a
panel of 20 is necessary since both
the prosecution and defense have a
right to strike" four jurors with
out cause.
Defense Counsel Robert Mcintyre
told the court that he considered it
impossible to get a qualified jury
from anywhere but a distant
point" He said that newspaper ac-
counts in Winchester, where Clat-
terbuck once was held. had inf1u-
enced public opinion there.
Maj. Mcintyre suggested that a
venire from Madison, Green or
Orange Counties would be advisable
He expressed satisfaction with Judge
Alexander, even though he's rough
with me at times"
Judge Alexander gave no indica-
tions of how many prospective
jurors would be called from Madison
County.
Defense Counsel Overruled.
Earlier, Judge Alexander over.
ruled a motion by Maj. Mcintyre
to quash the Winchester venire
on the grounds that one pros.
pective juror lived eight miles from
Winchester and was not, therefore
resident of that city.
Clatterbuck is accused of slay.

cused on physical grounds and
others for conscientious objection
to capital punishment.
Clatterbuck sat calmly during the
proceedings, dressed neatly in a darl
blue suit and white shirt. Although
he showed signs of occasional nerv.
BUSINESS, he managed to smile il
greeting his defense counsel.

Plan Outlined
To End Pollution
In Reservoir
District to Seek
Cos Chlorinutor;
Redesiqn Bosin

Steps taken for the permanent
cure of the bacillus coli pollution
found in the water supply for the
Anacostia area were outlined to the
Commissioners today by Assistant
Engineer Commissioner Joseph D.
Arthur, jr.
Both District health and engineer
officers have given assurances that
the presence Of bacillus coll was not
a hazard to health, but rather an in.
dication Of something wrong with
the water system which needed cor
rection as safeguard against "po-
tential" trouble.
As indicated earlier, a committee
headed by Col Arthur voiced belief
pollution came from seepage into
the Anacostia "high" reservoir.
Funds now are available for con-
struction Of supplemental reser-
voir at Fort Stanton, and when this
is erected, the Anacostia reservoir
will be examined and improvements
made.
Seeks Gas Chlorinator.
Mechanical chlorinators are to be
installed at the Anacostia reservoir
to do the work now done by manual
operation, and because gas chlorine
is regarded as more effective than
liquid chlorine. now used at the
Anacostia reservoir, approval of the
War Production Board is being
asked to provide a gas chlorinator.
The committee, in addition to
Chairman Arthur, included Mai.
Dewey M. Radcliffe Of the United
States engineers office; Maj. John
Blake Gordon, District director of
sanitary engineering, and Deputy
Health Officer Daniel L. Seckinger.
The committee said:
Since 1888 there have been re-
peated reports of pollution in this
area, IN all probability due to
seepage into the Anacostia high
reservoir. The design Of this reser-
voir is defective in that no provision
is made for water circulation, con-
dition generally conducive to pollu-
ton. AS was the case in the present
report, these evidences of pollution
all have been eliminated by the
addition Of chlorine and there is no
report of shese cases of pollution
causing illness to the users of the
water.
I'm fact, this corrective action is
so routine that the Water Depart
ment made no report of it to the
director of sanitary engineering. In
addition to periodical tests of water
| by the Health Department, WASH
ington aqueduct forces conduct tests
in this area every other day. Sam
Piles of the water In the mains after
crossing the river and before enter
ing the reservoir never have shown
pollution, which indicates conclu-
siveiy that the pollution occurs in
4 the reservoir.
"The following action has been
taken: .---ssss-
i. Because 1t is possible that the
liquid chlorine bieng used has de-
Perforated, a test for effectiveness
is being made of the entire District
supply;
"2. Suitable chlorinators, now
available, will be installed at the
Anacostia reservoir to provide con-
stant chlorination;
"3. Liquid chlorine is not consid-
cred as positive in its action as the
gas, and the Water Department
will purchase, as soon as WPB ap-
proval can be obtained, a gas
chlorinator;
a. AS soon as the Fort Stanton
reservoir is completed and the pres
ent one can be emptied, the neces-
sary changes in design will be
made"

Former Ambassador
John Cudahy Killed
In Fall From Horse
BY the Associated Press.


MILWAUKEE, Sept. John
Cudahy, 55-year-old director of the
Wisconsin Council of Defense and
former diplomat, was killed yester-
day in following his favorite. sport
horseback riding.
Mr.. Cudahy was pronounced dead
of broken neck by DR.. T. r. Muir
ply after his body was found on his
250-acre country estate at nearby
Brown Deer by Earl Kramer of Ra-
cine, who was visiting friends near
the Cudahy home and who saw Mr..
Cudahy's riderless horse. Sheriff's
deputies theorized that Mr.. Cudahy
was thrown when his horse stumbled
in trying to jump a small drainage
ditch.
Mr. Cudahy was named Ambassa-
dor to Poland in 1888 by President
Roosevelt and served until 1887 when
he was made Minister to Fire. He
became Ambassador to Belgium in
1910 and held that post until 1943
when he returned home.
Wrote Several Books.
He was an explorer and big-game
hunter and the author of several
books. He became civilian defense
director last February %.
Survivors are his widow, the for
mer Katharine Reed of Milwaukee,
to whom he was married August 2,
1913; daughter, Mary, now visiting
in Norfolk, Va, and son, Michael,
stationed at an Army camp in Ne
braska.
A niece, the former Jane Dahl
man of Milwaukee, Is the wife of
Secretary of the Interior Ickes.
Mr.. Cudahy was graduated from
Harvard in 1910 and received law
degree from the University of Wis
consin in 1913. After practicing law
in Milwaukee for four years he
joined the Army and served in Rus
sia in the Archangel campaign, re-
naming after the World War ended
to fight against the Bolsheviks.
His health was impaired by his.
war experience and he turned to.
writing. He wrote "Archangel-
the American War With Russia"
in which he criticized American in
tervention in Russia.
Striving to improve his health, he
lived for time in the Canadian
Rockies and later went into ranch
ing in Mexico and California. He
rot,,rpod to k6i1u,o,,Laa II, 1909 orI
devoted the next 10 years to the
real estate business.
Saw Nazi Invasion.
President Roosevelt sent him to
Belgium as Ambassador in January,
1910, and Minister to Luxembourg.
Only few months later, May 8,
both countries were overrun by the
Nazis. He was in Brussels when
the invasion came and remained
until l94l. Before returning to the
United States he interviewed Adolf
Hitler and reported that he thought
there should be no interference with
the German leaders aims in Europe.
This opinion led to a storm of
protest when he was appointed
State director of civilian defense by
Acting Gov. Walter S. Goodland.
Mr.. Goodland refused to cancel the
appointment in spite of the opposi-
ton, which called Mr.. Cudahy an
iSolationist.
Mr.. Cudahy was born December
10, 1887, the son of Patrick Cudahy.
The elder Cudahy, born in Ireland,
founded the Cudahy Brothers Co.,
meat packing concern known
throughout the world.

After pheasant is plucked, clean
