DO Federal employees have the
right to conduct their lives with as
much personal freedom as other
Americans?
No, says Civil Service Commits
sioner Arthur s. F1emming. Yes,
contends his newly appointed coll
league, Commissioner Frances Per-
kins.
While there has been no open
controversy on the subject, there
seems little doubt that eventually
the divergence, of opinion on the
issue viii he aired officially.

tates cd1nnaission officials and ethe
top Government executives Is Miss1
Perkins expressed opposition to
periodic health examinations and
medical advice for Federal workers,
Miss Perkins terms 1t can intrusion

Ficnlming Cites Benefits.
Mr.. Fiemming and others point
out that it took many years Of up
hill struggle to get the bill provid-
ing for examinations passed by Con-
gress last year (the Randolph
Health Act) and that most Govern
ment officials have bright hopes
that the new law will mark a mile
stone in the progress and welfare
of Government workers.
But this disagreement is only one
of many points on which the two
Commissioners apparently do not
see eye to eye.
Mr.. Flemming expressed his phi

Excessive Restrictions Opposed.
Mr.. Fleming, who time and again
has appeared before congressional
committees to fight for legislation
improving the welfare Of Govern
ment workers, recognizes the dan
gers of excessive restrictions and
has cautioned against them.

ton of Federal employees should not
be imposed on the spur of the

recently. "They should be thought

to go home at night.
The position of the third menu
Der of the commission, President
Harry B. Mitchell, on all these
matters is less clearly defined, but
in the past he has gone along on
most issues with Mr.. Flemming.
Mr.. Mitchell has been on leave the
past few weeks and returned here
last week.
Summing up his views, Mr.. Flem-.
ming refers to the words of the
late Justice Holmes when, in de-
Gliding that a Massachusetts, city
had the right to discharge police
man who had violated one of its
rules, said:
The petitioner may have a con-
stitutional right to talk politics.
but he has no constitutional right
to be a policeman. There are few
employments for hire in which the
servant does not agree to suspend
his constitutional rights of free
speech, as well as of idleness, by
the implied terms of his contract.
The servant cannot complain as he
takes the employment on the terms
which are offered him. On the same
principle, the city may impose any
reasonable condition upon holding
toflcers within its control"
Commenting osl this, Mr.. Fiem-
ming says: Justice Holmes opin-
ion has been looked on as sound
deposition of the law. 1t should also
be looked on as a sound exposition
|of the philosophy which should

Banks Hope 10 Boost

District banks are redoubling eff

bonds as part of the current pro-
motional bond campaign, s. william

Association, reported yesterday.

Waller of the District Savings Bond
Division; Mr.. Miller said District
banks have sold more than $40, ,000,-
900 worth Of series e bonds since
January L. They are now issuing
about 76 per cent Of all e bonds not
purchased by Federal workers
through payroll deductions.
Bankers have q business reason
for encouraging wide investment In
United States Savings Bonds" Mr..
Miller said. Every financial man
knows that bonds bought today con-
tribute to q more stable economy by
storing up consumer purchasing
power until consumer goods are back
in volume at prices that can only be
achieved through mass production
and mass consumption"
Labelling bond buying as one OF
the safest investments in the world
he stated:
I'm advising people how best te
invest savings, the banker should
consider two things. First, how safe
will that investment be. Second
what will be the return.

the average person, series E savings

The Commissioners may ask the

as the bureau is equipped to make

quired by the law,
Under the language OF the law
no one may obtain housing erected

The only stumbling block, Mr.

Fair Treatment
OF D. {. Budget
He Would Consider
copitoI Needs Apart
From u. S. Economy
By Don S. Worren

Fair treatment" for the District
as to the size of the Federal pay
ment toward National Capital costs
was urged yesterday by the incom-
ing chairman of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee.
Senator Bridges Republican, of
New Hampshire, who will succeed
Senator McKellar,Y Democrat, of
Tennessee as head fof the funds
group next January, said the old
fiscal question still was an open
one and should be settled on the
basis of fair Judgment and equitable
treatment.
1t should be done after careful
study OF the facts, he added.
There should be no thought, he
continued, that the national budget
economy program being drafted by
the Republicans for the new Con-
gress should be applied to the mu-
n1cipal government.
Separate Things.
The national program and the
needs of the city government here"
he said, "are two entirely separate
and distinct things, and should be
handled on that basis"
AS he viewed the situation, the
District budget for the next fiscal
year-a record amount is expected
to be sought-need have no rela.
tioon to national economy drives.
mot at ALL" he said to reporters
questions. Washington, as the Ma
TONS capital city, is in unique posi-
ton, and its budget should be con-
sidered entirely separate from the
overall national program"
Senator Bridges said he had no
preconceived idea of what the Fed
eral payment should be next year.
He said he would want to reach such
a conclusion only after the question
had been studied again.
Has Supported Raises.
An increase in the present $S,O00,-
600 payment Is to be asked by the
District Government next year when
1t seeks adoption of new District
tax program to provide near S20,-
100000 additional IN revenues.
In the past, Senator Bridges has
supported Senate moves for raising
the old s6,000.OO Federal payment
and for adoption of q fixed formula
for annual adjustment of the Fed
eral share.

yet been determined who would
