Hershey Report
On Deternnents
Called Unfair
Puryeur Says Only
6,770 II. S. Workers
Under 80 Got Stuys

Edgar F. Puryear, Government de-
ferment chairman, charged today
that Selective Service Director Her
shey's report to Congress yesterday
on the number of deferred Federal
workers gives an unfair and dis
torted picture" of the Governments
actual deferment record.
Citing Gen. Hershey's report that
265,909 Government jobholders
qualified for military service were
deferred as of December l, 1914,
Mr.. Puryear said that, excluding
the War and Navy Departments,
only 6,770 Federal workers under
30 now held occupational defer
ments.
Majority Over 80.
Gen. Hershey's statement" Mr..
Puryear said, fails to make clear
that all except $4,000 of these de-
ferred workers are over 80 and re-
classified because of that fact and
In many instances at the special
request of the Selective Service Sys-
tenn itself"
"Out of the $4,000 under 80. only
6,770 are in the 73 Government
agencies and the remainder are in
the War and Navy Departments
where they are employed in arse
mails, navy yards and other direct
war production.
Among the 6,770 are Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation agents. whose
work in protecting and safeguarding
the Nation is critical, as well as
physicists, chemists and aeronauti-
cal engineers"
Few Given Deferments.
Mr.. Puryear said his REGIONAL
Committee on Deferment of Gov
eminent Employees 'is constantly
turning down applications for defer
ment and in the near future, prac-
tically no one will be left in the
Government under 80 who is physi-
cally qualified for combat"
AS for the men over 80, he said
their agencies asked for their defer
ment at the insistence of the Selec-
tive Service System to bring the
Government in line with private in
dustry.
Gen. Hershey has given an I'M
fair statement in that it presents a |
distorted picture Of what is actually
happening in the Government" de-
clared Mr.. Puryear. The Govern
ments deferment record actually is !
far better than that of private in
dustry."

Officials in Maryland, +,
5 Other States Face
Hatch Act Charges
By JOSEPH YOUNG.

Action against public officials In
six States and Hawaii on charges of
violating provisions of the Hatch
Act will be taken shortly by the
Civil Service Commission, it was
learned today.
Oficials in Maryland, New York,
Illinois, Georgia, Kentucky and
Texas are said to face hearings.
Though the commissions policy
dictates that the names of the ac-
cused shall not be made public until
after hearings on the charges. it
was learned that all the persons in
volved are officials in various admin
istrative State Offices.
The forthcoming hearings follow
closely on the commission's decision
yesterday which found two Pennsyl-
vania officers and another employe
guilty of violating the Hatch Act by
coercing subordinates to contribute
campaign funds to the Republican
State Committee.
Commission Power Defined.
The commission has power to take
action against State employees under
section IL (a) of the Hatch Act
which applies to officers and en-
ployes of State or local agencies
whose principal employment is in
activities financed in whole or in
part with Federal funds.
In the forthcoming cases some oil
the State employees are expected to
be charged with violations of Hatch
Act provisions during the recent
campaign. The charges against
others are expected to date back to
other elections.
Coercion to Be Charged.
Among the charges to be placed
are ones of coercion of subordinates
to contribute to party campaign
funds and active political activity
on behalf of candidates.
The hearings will be before civil
service examiners in the States
Finding Of the examiners will be
submitted to the commission here
Tor final decision.
Under provisions of the Hatch Act
the commission is empowered to or
der State employees found guilty OF
violations dismissed from their jobs
Should these orders be ignored. the
Federal Government is empowered
to withhold from the State grants
amounting to twice the salary OF
the employe.

Shortage Of Manpower
May Cut Bus Service

1t the shortage of streetcar and
bus operators gets worse, bus service
will be eliminated in sections of the
city where streetcars are available,
a Capital Transit Co. spokesman
said today.
The company already is short 600
operators and Is constantly losing
men from its depleted staff, the
transit oficial reported. Between
100 and $50 buses are idle even dur
ing rush hours because there is no
one to operate them, he added.

Potomac Program
Details AmpIified
By Army Engineers

The cost OF the Potomac River
food control, water publication
power and recreational facilities
program, calling for postwar con-
Istruction over 20-year period
would be $235, ,720 900, it was revealed
by Army engineers today, as they
amplified details of the project pub
lished in The Star on January 3.
Details have been sent to in
terested parties who will testify at
the forthcoming hearings of the
Board of Engineers for Rivers and
Harbors. Should the report meet
the boards approval, the program
will be sent to Congress.
The report, which is now being
studied by the Army Board of En-
gineers for Rivers and Harbors, also
stated that benefits to navigation
would result from the retention of
silt in the storage reservoirs, thereby
eliminating the periodic dredging of
silt now deposited in the Washing
ton Harbor.
Power Benefits Seen.
In addition, it was stated that
water power benefits would result
from the sale of electrical energy to
contiguous market areas in the vi
cinity of Philadelphia and Balti-
more as we'll as the District and
vicinity and in the Potomac River
Basin.
Plans call for an extensive net
work of IA dams and reservoirs to
be built during the 20-year period
The average annual benefits of such
a program would be SIS, ,712 900 or an
approximate 50 outlay for So gain
according to the War Department s
Office of Division Engineer, Middle
Atlantic division. The annual cost
of the long-range construction pro-
gram is estimated at $11 SOC, 900.
The yearly benefits are listed as
follows: $573,000 in pollution abate-
ment, $253, 900 saving in food de-
struction, $289, 900 in recreation IA
cilities, $4,000 in additional water
supply, $4,000 in improved high
way facilities, $4,000 in navigation
Improvements and $14,345, 900 in
hydroelectric power.
IA Reservoirs Planned.
The plan calls for the "A multiple
purpose reservoirs to be constructed
in sections of the watershed, includ-
ing the Riverbend site on the Po-
tomac above Great Falls, the Chain
Bridge site on the river near the up
per limits of the District and the
Bear Island site on the Potomac in
the vicinity of Great Falls. =
The Chain Bridge project calls for
shore boundary acquisition, as well
as construction of navigation locks.
Army engineers said the locks would
allow recreation craft to proceed
from Washington to Harpers Ferry
through the three lower reservoirs
and parts of the Chesapeake g. Ohio
Canal. The engineers also gave as
surance that special study had been
made so that construction of the
project would not detract from the
scenic attractions and historical
landmarks there.
The report estimated that the
flow OF water over Great Falls be-
tween the proposed Chain Bridge
and Riverbend dams will be at least
equal to, If not greater than, the
present natural flow 70 per cent OF
the time. During the summer and
fall months, when visitors enjoy
viewing Great Falls, the regulated
flows during the daylight hours
would be about one-third greater, y

All drank the toast-some with

him she was a daughter of the late
King Alexander Of Yugoslavia and
had a million dollars OF her own.
Occasionally she changed her
strategy and played hard to get, ac-
cording to Krog, who also stated:
"She claimed that the Dowager
Queen of YugoSlavia had other plans
for her marriage.
Dolly finally put aside the regal
myth and said it was just that her
Hollywood friends had been calling
her Countess Darinka as joke.
Regardless of the status of the
marriage -on the beach, Dolly sued
for divorce in November, 1912. The
action was dropped when Krog

You should partly fill tub with
lukewarm water and soap-suds. Be-
fore lifting the dog into the tub,
rub a good thick ring of half-dry
soap collar like around his neck.
This will keep any fleas from
swarming upward from his drench-
ed body and taking refuge on his
head or in his furry ears.
After placing him III the tub,
douse him all over with water, TAX
ing care not to get any in his eyes
or nose. Make the dog lie down in
the water, keeping his head above
it while you scrub him vigorously.
Next, stand him up and lather
him again. When this is done, make
him lie down once more while you
rinse him with the soapy water.
Then empty the tub and pour plen-
ty of clean water over the dog,
scrubbing him hard and removing
all the soap around his neck.
Be sure all the soap is off before
rubbing him dry with rough tow
ell or two. and take particular care
that his chest and stomach are
well dried A dogs head should
be washed separately with damp
cloth. He should be kept indoors
until he is thoroughly dry, and
never let him stand or lie down
outdoors for at least two hours
after he has had bath. Pick a
warm sunny day when you decide
to give your dog a bath.

for a needed run in the woods
and fields every now and then, be
on the lookout for these first
blades of grass and let your dog
have free access to them.
Grass is splendid tonic and
conditioner for dogs at all times
of the year but, most Of all, they
need it at the end Of a long and
CRASHES winter. Don't pick it for
them. The average dog won't chew
any grass he himself has not
picked and even then there are
only certain kinds he will eat. Let
him do his own selecting of the
grass that he knows by instinct
is best for him.
Give your pet the full benefit
of this first approach of spring.
The grass of his own choosing,
and of ms own chewing, is bet.
ter for MIN in March and early
April than almost any medicine.
