Proficient Veterans
In Patronage Jobs

Most of the patronage jobs al
the Senate are to be taken away
from Democratic appointees when
the Republicans take charge next
January but there won't be any
clean sweep" according to present
plans.
Some proficient and experienced
veterans from the years Of Demo
cratic control will be asked to stay
on. This was indicated yesterday by
Senator Bridges, Republican, Of New
Hampshire, who heads his party's
committee on Senate employees.
Asked If this designation made
him the Republican "hatchet man.
he laughed and declared I'VE are
going to treat them like they treated
u.s."
One Job Out Of 10.
"Why, do you know that out OF
all those 10 jobs of Capitol police
men the Democrats let us name
only one of them?" he added. "And
pages-they let us have only four.
And they did about the same thing
on the messengers!"
The invitations to leave, how
ever, he indicated, were being di-
rected at the straight patronage
boys" BY this he said he meant
those Democratic appointees whose
only claim to q Senate Job was
that they were Democrats and had
an influential backer.
But, he indicated. there will be
some notable exceptions to the ex-
pected change-oyer to q "Republi-
can" Capitol Police Force. pages,
messengers and janitors.
Reporters later learned that one
of the veterans expected to be asked
to stay was John c. Crockett. chief
clerk. famous for his ability to read
to the Senate bills. messeges and
motions-and sometimes mistaken
for a Senator because he wears a
swallow-tail coat.
Other Veterans.
Others were said to be Charles l.
Watkins, Senate parliamentarian:
Edward j. Hickey, Journal clerk, and
Emery L. Frasier, legislative clerk,
One source said the invitation to
stay also would be extended to Oco
Thompson. financial clerk, to at
least some Of his star, and prob
ably to others, including at least
some Of the veterans on the APP
preparations Committee, where
background and experience, as well
as ability, are considered important.

Senator's Are Divided
On Plan for Inquiry
Into Reich Occupation

The Senate War Investigating
Committee was divided last night
on a proposed inquiry into Army oc-
cupation activities in Germany at
this time.
At closed session tomorrow
afternoon, itsis expected, however,
to vote to send a subcommittee to
Europe for the investigation before
the new Congress convenes.
The meeting, set for 2 pm, is
primarily to hear 1t. Gen. Lucius
D, Clay, deputy United States mill
tary governor in Germany. Com
mittee Counsel George Meader also
will tell of his preliminary study of
procedures in the American occupa-
I.tion zone last month.
Committee members indicated
last night that differences over
starting an Investigation in Ger
many now have developed on three
main grounds.
These are that an inquiry might
interfere with current peace treaty
i1S6tt1utAOALst tlldt tllc ARMY has
stolen the thunder" Of the commit
tee by pressing an investigation OF
occupation faults; and that any
Congressional inquiry should be
delayed until the Republicans for
mally take control next January.
Point to Parliament.
Members, including at least one
Republican, who favor an immediate
subcommittee visit to Europe declare
that few If any Senators will be
able or willing to leave this country
latter the new Congress conyenes.
They hold also that a committee
examination of military occupation
methods should not embarrass
American officials taking part in
the Foreign Ministers discussions in
New York or in the United Nations
meetings. They note that the Brit
isf parliament has not hesitated to
investigate occupation procedures in
the British zone.

The School Improvement Progrum
deserves to be adopted by a heavy
majority-likely it will be. 1t is to
be hoped that the old Armory may
be turned over to the school for use
as they see fit. 1t might save some
thing like SIS, 100000. BY all means
we should have a Firing Battery
here. Besides being a stabilizing in
fluence when it might be a comfort
to have it, it would carry a pay roll,
due to the increased personnel and
higher pay rates, of 100000 a year
or more. A new Armory would be
needed, bigger, better, o con-
