employment practices.
The budget for the fiscal year
1913, which President Truman
transmitted TO Congress last Fri
day, carries a total estimate Of
S4,6OO,l0b for salaries Of Senate
officers and employees, and S6,704,-
240 for salaries Of officers and en-
ployees Of the House.
These Jobs are patronage Jobs.
When the Democrats took over
control Of the Congress IL years
ago, they fred the few eolOred
persons who were still retaining
decent Jobs at the Capitol and
retained only q few messengers,
some Of whom were transferred
10 Jobs a. labOrers.
II the Republican members Of
Congress actually believe in fair
employment practices, they might
end some Of the unfair employment
practices the Democrats have fol-
lowed and give eolored persons
some Of the elerkships, assistant
clerkships and other patronage
jobs that are available at the Cap
itol.
Colored persons on the basis Of
their party affiliations and merit
ought to be given some Of the
elsrkships in the office Of the Sec
rotary Of the Senate and the Clerk
Of the House, and some Of the clerk
ships and assistant clerkships of
Senate and House committees.
Individual Senators and mem
bers Of Congress having three
and four clerks ought 10 include
some eOlored employees among
their Office forces. Southerners
have ehided them for their failure
TO do 80.
Some Of the Sergeants-at-arms,
doorkeepers, pages, and members
Of the Capitol police ought to be
Negro.
Unless Republican Senators and
Representatives are willing TO fol-
low fair employment practices in
apportioninG patronage jobs, II Is
futile TO talk Of their imposing
such practices upon others. Surely
they do not believe that others
should do what they themselves
are unwilling TO do.

THE DETAILS

The farms are being given away
under the Reclamation's Bureau
fye-year plan during which period
1t will give away 100000 acres Of
the worlds most fertile land. The
government has to give all the land
away by 1851 and, according TO
the Bureau, II IL now being done
"as rapidly as manpower, money
and material will permit" Two
weeks ago the Reclamation Bureau
gave 80 veterans from nine states
800, 1000 acres Of the land valued at
more than 100000 and there
were no strings attached.
THE HERE'S HOW"
In order TO qualify to be given
one Of these farms you must: First,
have at least two years Of ex-
perience as a farmer. Next, you
must be able TO raise $1,000 in
capital. And last but not least, your
past record must convince the gov
eminent that you have the neces-
sary industry and physical ability to
take a good farm and make IL q
paying proposition.
The government says you must
have the two years Of previous ex-
perience so that you will know
what else needs to be done on your
farm besides sleeping In the shade
Of the old apple tree. II you have
had only one years experience on
a farm but four years Of training
at an agricultural college the Rec
lAmStion Bureau says you are still
OK because your four years Of
agricultural college training are
equal to one years actual exper-
fence down on the farm. (And you
thought when you graduated you

Bradley the other day asking why
UNAVA can't be recognized.
The General asked a few Of his
underlings why not" and no one
was able TO give a good answer.
The VA then suddenly announced
that the matter was under con-
siderRtion for immediate attention"
II Brigadier General BENJAMIN

held in the esteem by the inmates
Of the Old Soldiers Home in Wash

him when he was a second louie.

About that 5000. That shouldn't

one years experience on the farm,

II you are qualified, the farm is
yours for the asking. II you are in

School to Train Capitol Police
To Handle Citizens DiscreetIy
By Harold B. Rooers

To help handle such prophets
as the one who interrupted a House
session from the gallery yesterday,
the Capitol Police force of about
lao men will start going to school
Monday night.
According to Capt. William j.
Broderick, new chief of the force.
the school will direct some of its
principal instruction to technique
for taking care of "odd cases. -
crackpots and just plain drunks.
About three such cases a week are
handled quietly at the Capitol, he
said.
Instructors for the school will
come from the FBI, the Metropoli-
tan Police Department and the
Capitol force.
Face Question Barrage.
The course will include other
problems faced by the uniformed po-
lice on Capitol Hill. Tourists, ex-
pected to flock to the Hill in thou
sands, soon will be asking questions
of all kinds. And the police, many
of whom are new Republican ap-
pointees from other parts of the
country will be taught how to re-
spond courteously with accurate in
formation.
Visitors want to know how tt
find places around the city," sale
Capt. Broderick. Many of then
ask how to get out of town on the
right road to their next destination
Our men will be schooled to answer
such questions, to help handle traffic
around the Capitol grounds, anc
to give first aid in emergencies"
Gun Training Included.
Regular police training in han
ding pistols, riot guns and Other
weapons will be given, but Capt
Broderick explained the most en-
phasis will be laid on means OF han
ding the expected throngs quietly
and courteously, with the least con-
fusion and public notice.
About so members of the force will
take the new course from 7 to s
o'clock each night for one week
beginning Monday. Other groups

Social Security Office Here
To Mark 10Th Birthday

A milestone in one of the most
difficult bookkeeping jobs devised
will be observed tomorrow with the
10th anniversary of the Social Sc
curity field Office in Washington.
More than 11,000 persons receive
checks amounting to more than
100000 monthly in the Washington
area, and the local Office also serves
five Maryland counties.
Nationally, 100000 wage earn
ers now carry Social Security cards
and nearly 100000 persons are
receiving payments of old-age or
survivors insurance benefits. In
the District alone, 604, ,239 Social
Security cards have been issued dur
ing the 10 years.
Keeping the accounts straight is
