Bill Postponing
Alley Evictions
Given President
House Passes Measure
Without Debate
Or Objections

Without debate or objection the
House today passed and sent to
President Roosevelt for signature
the Bilbo-Burton bill which post
pones for one year from July /
the legal deadline on evacuation
of tenants from Washington's alley
dwellings.
The measure was called up by
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee and after a brief
explanation of the need for such
emergency action to prevent thou
sands of the slum dwellers from
being evicted before other housing
can be provided for them it was
approved under the unanimous con-
sent procedure.
House and Senate committees,
meanwhile, are at work on complet-
ing drafts of bills which would chart
the future course of Washington's S
slum clearance and rehousing pro-
grams. The Judiciary Subcommittee
OF the House District Committee,
headed by Representative McGehee,
Democrat, of Mississippi, is to re-
sumo hearings Thursday on the
three different measures sponsored
by public and private builders.
On the Senate side Senator Bur-
ton, Republican, of Ohio, is to re-
sumo hearings this week on his sub
committee investigation of the slum
clearance problems and in the near
future another subcommittee of the
Senate District Committee, headed
by Senator Walsh, Democrat, of
New Jersey, is to begin formal con-
sideration of the three pending
measures.

Civil Service Weighs
Terminal Leave Plan
0ncan 10 Services
First Meetings Completed
Grssp ssskins to
Glorify New Regulations

The Cfsil Service Commission
today had under consideration .
proposal that Government employees
goint on furlough for military serv-
ice should be allowed to accrue leave
,nuring terminal leave" or the
period between their last day 81
work and the day they are taken OF
the Government payroll.
This recommendation was one of
a number made by a group repre-
senting the personnel divisions of
ID large Federal agencies which
completed last week the first series
of meetings designed to clarity the
annual and sick leave regulations
which went into effect at the begin
ming Of this year.
The meetings were held under
the direction of Mrs. Helen Elliott.
examiner on the organization and
methods staff of the Civil Service
commission, who said the regula-
tions were still at the testing" stage
and that an effort was under way
to encourage their uniform appli-
cation throughout the Government.
The present regulations provide
that the accrual of leave should
cease at the close of the last day
on which the employe was present
for duty. The personnel group was
unanimously opposed to the ac-
crual OF leave during terminal leave
for other employees leaving the
Federal services, but felt that en-
ployes going on military furloueh
actually were not leaving the Gov
eminent service and should be en-
titled to the pay piled up during
terminal leave.
The group also recommended that
a certificate signed by the employe
should be acceptable for absence on
sick leave to get medical, dental or
optical examinations or treatment,
Under the present regulations, en-
ployes can sign their own certif1-
Gates for up to three days of sick
leave, but If they take even half
a day of for examination or treat
ment they must produce a medical
certificate signed by the attend
ing physician.

Critically III Studied
Arrangements Utilized
During Lost Few Months
Moy Be Standardized

A formal system of allocating
private-duty nurses to the most
critically i'll hospital patients is now
being considered by the District
Medical Society, the Hospital Su-
perintendents' Association and the
Graduate Nurses Association, DR..
John M. Orem, Sibley Hospital SUI
perintendent and president of the
hospital superintendents' group,
said today.
Most hospitals, he said, have been
attempting for months to meet the
critical nurse shortage through an
informal arrangement with doctors,
patients and nurses.
Where nurses are unavailable for
critically i'll patients, the less seri-
ously i'll patients and their doctors
are asked If they would be willing
to relinquish their nurses, he ex-
planned.
The virtues of the more formal ar
rangement, he added, are consid-
cred "debatable" in some quarters,
but the three groups involved--hos-
-pitals, doctors and nurses-are tr14
ing to figure out sorae Of the detxilD
