Raise tuesday
Full Committee Gets
$l25 Measure Passed
By Subcommittee

The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee is expected to give its ap-
proval next Tuesday to the pay
reclassification measure granting
Federal classified employees an av-
erage annual salary increase
of $125.
The bill was approved yesterday
by the groups pay subcommittee
headed by Senator Long. Demo-
crat, of Louisiana. Senator Long
said he would bring the measure
up for full committee action on
Thursday and predicted it would
be approved.
Also approved by the subcom-
mittee was pay reclassification
bill for the postal service. which
would grant postal employees a
fiat 500 each.
The bill for the Governments s
850,000 classified employees would
lift the present $10.330 Federal
pay ceiling to new high of
$4,000 a year.
Although the average pay in
crease for classified employees
would be $125. employees in the
higher salary brackets would re-
ceive considerably more. The pay
raises in the measure would range
all the way from a. minimum of
S6.48 to $670 a year. Most en-
ployes. however. would receive pay
increases somewhere around the
S125 figure.
The pay Redistribution meas
ure also provides for abolishment

Three ratings would be set up
under the proposed system-satis-
factory, unsatisfactory and out
standing.
Another feature in the bill is
the establishment of a cash
awards system in which super
visors will be rewarded for operat-
ing their units efficiently at the
least possible cost.

Court still are ringing today. it
won't be surprise to Judge Milton

Kapiloff. Seventh street credit
merchant who was the judges un-
willing guest in court yesterday.
Proprietor Of the Hollywood
Credit Clothing Co.. 703 Seventh
street NV. Mr.. Kapilof was an
unscheduled witness in five of the
rs to so payment suits he
said he files weekly in the court.
Only a few days earlier he had
visited Judge Kronheim's cham
bers and assured the jurist he
operated a Legitimate business, "

But soon after he appeared
yesterday, he loudly informed the
court he was being made mon

Hits Frivolous Claims.
Origin of the uproar, which at
several points found witness. at
torney and judge all talking at
once. was Judge Kronheim's an
nouncement that he viewed the
Hollywood company's cases as ex-
amples of frivolous and vexa-
tious" claims. They also interfere
with the administration of justice
BECAUSE of their large numbers,
said the judge.
Actually, in all but one case,
Judge Kronheim backed up Mr..
Kapiloff's claims, which ranged
from $3.75 to $48.45 each. But
acting under rule giving him
discretion in awarding court costs,
he announced these would not be
allowed.
That is the step that this
court is taking in order to prevent
the filing of frivolous or vexatious
claims and so as to discourage
such practices. the judge said.
Judge Kronheim criticized par
ticularly what he said was the
Hollywood firms habit of filing
claims only three weeks after a
payment was due.
AS his attorney, Jack Politz,
argued the point. Mr.. Kapiloff
got up to leave, although he was
present at the special request of
the judge.
During the ensuing exchange
Judge Kronheim succesively in
vited, advised, warned and then
again invited the witness to stay
and testify in his own behalf, with
Mr.. Kapiloff replying in increas-
ing volume and consistently in
the negative.
WELL said the judge at one
point, here is the opportunity for
you to be here and for you to hear

Miami Weather Bureau spoke of the
present hurricane as 'erratic" because of
Its, zigzagging course after it was first re-
ported east of the Virgin Islands
.,..-..- All hurricanes are cratic Nobody
can retermine as certainty in what direc-
--rfUn they will go. But that adjective was
used about the hurricane because Thurs
..dax afternoon and night, it seemingly had
ssehsmged to nofthwesterly course, but on
Friday morning was back on its west
enthusiastically forward movement
First, it should be said that pilots of
hurricane-riding planes perform probably
the most exacting feat to which man can be
assigned. It strikes the mind of the layman
asa, wonderful thing for pilot not only to
nedte the center of starm but also tell
the direction it is travelling. This service
and the service of the United States
Weather Bureau are outstanding and can
not be commended too highly.
..... However, the Miami bureau announc-
ed Friday that pilots were having difficulty
- IN finding the storms center 1t was even
sad that the center might still be in
formative stage. Reasoning from that
=. viewpoint, some pilot or pilots, working
under great stress, might have made a mis-
take in determining the center and the d.
.rection in which it was going on Thursday
night, so that it appeared the hurricane
sswas moving ENTHUSIASTICALLY
AT one time, the Observatory in Ha-
vana alerted the north coast of Cuba, and
day later reported that the center would
strike San Salvador. It appeared also in
this area that the center was headed in
that direction, but instead, it went slightly
- north of San Salvador and struck Cat
Island in the Bahama group.
Finally, hurricanes are not only err
but treacherous also, as was the 1926
hurricane that struck Miami. The weather
man there said it was physically i'm
- possibility" to strike that city, which
proves that nothing is physically impossi-
BILE about a hurricane.

CONFUSING STREET NAMES

Editor, The Cltizen:
After reading in The Citizen
about the success the Business
Professional Women's Club has
had with its major project (reha-
Utilization of the swimming pooD
for this year, feel, based on
past activities of the club, that it
will be carried on successful
conclusion. l have been wonder
ing if some of the male Tor joint
male and female) civic organiza-
tons feel as l do, namely,
ashamed, to know that the So
called "weaker-sex," has been
able to sponsor and see carried
out successfully, a goodly number
of civic accomplishments by their
own. efforts.
AT this time l would like to
make suggestion for some of
our male organizations.
Why doesn't someone start a
movement to straighten out the
ever present muddle that the
names of some of cur streets are
in? For instance, starting at the
east end of the island: Avenue. E
or Eagle runs as far as the ball
field, then changes its name on
this side to Staples avenue. Fur
Their on down this side of the fac
tory it is known as Won Phister
street. The same case applies to
avenue D or Duck. At the inter
walls where it is divided it is
known as Seidenberg and as
Washington street. Then too, First
street, which runs comparatively
straight is also known as Bertha.
It is not possible that we can
have one organization or MEM
Der from several organizations
form a committee, study the
needs and changes and at the
proper time take their findings
before an official body for action,
not consideration. Perhaps this
might even be a good platform
for someone aspiring to be a city
or council official in the forth
coming elections. If not it will be
a help to tourist Gas well as

around that particular part of
town.
