HOME FOR VACATION

DR.. Louis Edward Otte, dean
of Kansas Wesleyan university,
located at Salina, Kansas, is home
for a two weeks vacation, with
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
F. Otte, West Fifth ST., and other
friends. Salina is located in the
middle of Kansas which is half
way between the parts of Kansas
with normal rainfall and SUBJ
normal rainfall. When the rest of
the country is getting too much
rain, it generally means that
western Kansas is having enough
rain to insure an enormous wheat
crop, and this year is no exception,
the farmers there having had five
very prosperous years including
this. DR.. Otte is enjoying his work
very much at Kansas Wesleyan,
which is becoming one of major
in that section.

Civil Service Officials
Again Seek Leeway on
Hatch Act Penalties
By Joseph Young

The Civil Service Commission will
renew its fight for authority to deal
more leniently with violators of the
Hatch Act, which bars political ac-
tivities by Government employees, 1t
was learned last night.
Harry B. Mitchell, president OF
the commission, also will seek the
power to reopen the cases of Fed
eral workers already dismissed from
the service.
Within the next few weeks, Mr.;
Mitchell plans to confer with Chair
man lie Compte OF the House Ad-
ministration Committee concerning
q bill introduced recently along these
lines by Representative Lane, Demo-
crat, OF Massachusetts, which has
been referred to the committee.
Discretionary Power Sought.
The commission seeks discretion
ary power in assessing penalties
against persons found guilty Of
violating the Hatch Act. The pres
ent act provides but one penalty
dismissal from the Federal service.
Mr.. Mitchell feels that In many
border line" cases of political ac-
tivities the dismissal penalty has
been much too severe. In many in
stances, small fine or brief
suspension would have been q
sunicient penalty. he contends.
Under provisions of the amend
ment to the Hatch Act sought by
the commission, it still could I'M
pose the dismissal penalty when 1t
thought the situation warranted
However, it would have the right
to impose a less drastic penalty in
other cases.
Review Could be Asked.
In past cases, the commission has
imposed dismissal sentences on some
Federal workers. who claimed they
were inadvertently guilty OF violat-
ing the act or pleaded that the vio-
lation was merely Q technical one
But the language OF the act gave
the commission no alternative.
Also, any employe who previously
lost his Federal Job because OF
Hatch Act violations would have the
right to ask for review OF his
case, under legislation the commits
sion seeks. Commission officials
have indicated that they would re.
woke the penalties in some Of these
cases and restore the workers Il
their jobs.
The House last year passed these
amendments, but the bill became
stalled In the Senate and died with
the 18th Congress. Mr.. Mitchell
says he will wage . vigorous fight

sion of Congress-

The number Of boarding houses
In Washington has decreased by
more than half since the OPA

Reid r. Ashworth, director OF the

The cost of food has risen so much,
DR.. Ashworth believes, that the for

have become rooming houses only.

Many Of Major Nature.
| While no names were revealed.
Mr.. Kinney made plain that con-
siderable number of the violations
are Of major proportions. Common
among them are open stair wells,
boilers under places Of assembly

In House Tomorrow
By Don S. Wdrren

House Majority Leader Halleck
yesterday announced his support
of Washington's local option
daylight saving bill, one of eight
municipal measures scheduled
for action tomorrow in the
House.
District Day in the House will be
tust the beginning of heavy lead
of city problems to be tackled this
week by congressiona, groups.

inas include the charter commission

cab limitation, residential protection
against television towers, more rlgio
control of firearms, full financing

Dirksen Hopes for Approval
Chairman Dirksen OF the House
District Committee was hopeful OF
House approval of the Senate
passed bill to permit Washington
to have summer daylight time II
the Commissioners, at public hear
inps, find Washington wants 1t.
Mr.. Halleck voted for the original
Dirksen bill for daylight time here,
which the House rejected by almost
a 2-to-l vote. under the leadership
of the farm bloc. He announced yes
terday his solid support for the new
bill, piloted through the Senate by
Senator McGrath. Democrat. OF
Rhode Island, which puts the ques-
ton entirely on q basis Of local op-
'tion. instead Of leaving Congress in
the position OF ordering daylight
time.
Chairman Dirksen has predicted
many members of the House would
have change Of heart, especially
since the question comes up on a
local option approach.
Advocates of the measure found
cheer yesterday in the statement OF
a large dairy plant that 1t saw no
difficulties for milk deliveries under
the proposed advanced time. The
firm, unidentified but said to be one
of the largest in Washington, ad-
vised the House District Committee
1t had no objection because milk
collected from producers one day is
not delivered to consumers until
sometime the following day, aftef it
had been pasteurized, bottled and
routed.
Curious About Baseball.
Indirectly answering some of the
objections of the farm bloc, the
dairy said it did not believe daylight
time would upset milk delivery
schedules.

with tomorrow's opening Of the
baseball season with a game at
Grifith Stadium. Some observers
at the Capitol were curious whether
congressional attendance at the
game would help or hurt the chances
for daylight time. One said the
question was whether more MEM
bers from urban or rural areas were
interested in baseball. The Senate

comedies, weren't as polished as
they are now. But the movies
themselves had some CUTS to
them. Not enough, but some. They
weren't afraid to try to tell a story
that needed to be told.
"Producers today are afraid. OF
what, I don't know. Censorship,
guess. Censorship ought to be
fought, not feared. There's too
much of it already. The produc-
ton code is sheer coWardice."
Menjou has been fighting this
verbal battle for years. With the
publishing OF his memoirs. the
battle will be carried into print.
He's noted for yelling his ideas
across dining rooms at producers.
Some big shots duck. Others listen
readily. Meniou's no crackpot.
He's a sound businessman and has
a fortune to prove it. His ideas
have a way of paying off.
This portrayal of Menjou may
seem out OF character. For years
his publicity has fitted his screen

Actually, Menjou is a thinking
man-not a clothes horse.

that I could fill was the debonair
habitue of the drawing rooms"
Menjou set out after those roles
with the tenacity and gusto OF his
French-Irish ancestors. He spent a
small fortune on his wardrobe. To
emphasize it, he drove himself
around town in a battered cid ja-
lopy. No stuffed shirt, Menjou kept
the illusion alive because it was
good business. "My Clothes" he
says, "are my stock in trade"
Around Hollywood, Menjou is
known as outspoken - ard long
winded. He "a afford to say what
he thinks because he is a free
lance, with no studio affiliations.
Only a few would risk charging
the industry with coWardice, but
Menjou doesn't hesitate. He is
and simply rebellious
against a system which shuns his
advice.
"You think they are making
great pictures today?" he asks
