procedures are out OF the way, the
overwhelming majority of Federal
workers need not give the loyalty
Investigations any further thought,
the commission chief declared
II may be too conservative, Mr.
Mitchell remarked, "but my opinion
is that not more than a fraction of
one per cent of the employees will
have to be further investigated, and
that the persons already known to
be disloyal are only a small fraction
of the above fraction"
Sounding one note of caution. Mr..
Mitchell said non-Communist en-
ployes with left-wing beliefs should
not become innocent victims of
the loyalty Investigations.
Let us keep in mind that the
radicalism of today may become the
progre5sivism of tomorrow and the
conservatism of after years. he said.

THANK GOODNESS-The other
Gay we dropped in on a Civil Service
Commission official and found him
in a very glum mood indeed. Before
We had a chance to state our busi-

sick man, about to die.
I'm afraid something is radically
wrong with my metabolism," he
sighed. This morning at break

In an effort to cheer him up, we
invited him to the restaurant across
the street for coke. AS soon as
we entered the restaurant, the
manager rushed over to my COM

"Oh, I'm so sorry about this
morning." he cried. Il just found

Board Plans 10 Build
Series Office Kinks fol
Playground Skating

Ice skating rinks in the city's
Fairgrounds and an artiflcially
frozen rejecting pool on the Mall
plus concessions and skates for
rent, are envisioned by the Dis
trict Recreation Board.
The board yesterday requested
the National Capital Parks to study
possibilities of installing permanent
artificial freezing equipment at the
rejecting pool. The board also
asked that arrangements be made
for the rental of ice skates where
there is concentrated public skating
and that sanitation and concession
services be provided where practi-
cal.
Then Harry Wender, board presi-
dent. described enthusiastically
what the recreation department is
going to try this winter on the
Fairgrounds.
Plans to Build Kinks.
On fiat surfaces on the play
grounds, the department may sink
strips of planking in the ground in
the form of a rink and, when the
weather gets cold enough, fill the
inclosure with water and let it
freeze.
We'll hoist red ball to an
nounce the skating is fine" he
declared, We'll publicize it in the
press. Well borrow electrical equip
ment from the Government for
night skating. Well have the whole
department organized to push ice
skating with instructors and super
visorS."
He said the department will or
ganize plan of action so that, as
soon as the temperature drops
below freezing, everything will &c
into action at top speed.
We'll have D-day plan for the
cold weather." he said.
1--WE should call it DF-day for
deep freeze day." c. Melvin Sharpe
commented.
To Try Out Plan.
| AS an experiment, the Recrea-
ton Department probably will start
with from two to four rinks this
winter to see how the plan works
out.
In other actions, the board~

Women Voters Urged
To Force Increase
In School Funds

Two hundred members Of the
Voteless League of Women Voters
heard two lectures on the District
government yesterday in Pierce Hall
Fifteenth and Harvard streets NV
William A. Roberts, Washington
attorney, who formerly served as
peoples counsel in Public Utility
Commission rate hearings, told them
that the important immediate thing
was to learn in detail how the
municipal government is run, to
force Improvements such as appro-
priations for schools and not to wait
until the big fight to come-the
fight for suffrage.
DR.. Meyer Jacobstein of the Leg
islative Research Service of the
Library of Congress and former
member of Congress from the Roch-
ester IN. " district, in answer to
a question about the city manager
plan, said Americans had too much
faith in blueprints.
Good municipal government de-
pended on the citizens, he said, not
on the plan of government.
Both speakers agreed that the
Districts inability to borrow for con-
struction of schools and public
works was due to the fact that Gov
Alexander Shepherds expansion
program, when Washington was a
Federal territory, ran into the panic
of 1873 which made Congress
frightened that it might become
responsible for the Districts debts
DR.. Jacobstein said District budget
officers today have no way of know
ing what their budget totals should
be because they never know what
the Federal Governments contribu.
ton, determined by Congress, is
lgoing to be.
