Seckinger Asks
Reports on City
Medical Supply
New Order Disclosed
As Court Sentences
Kinord for Drug Theft

The sentencing of a former
pharmacists. aide for drug theft
today was followed by the dis
closure that Health Officer Daniel
L. Seckinger has ordered a month
ly report to his Office on the status
of District medical supplies.
The revelation came as District
Court Judge T. Alan Goldsborough
imposed a one-year sentence on
James Kinard, IS. colored, charged
with stealing three bottles of
chloromycetin from Gallinger
Hospital.
During the trial last March
there were reports that thousands
of walls Of streptomycin were un-
accountably missing from the
hospital.
DR.. Seckinger said today that
the new policy of monthly reports
has been in effect about six weeks.
Heretofore. the Districts three
main medical supply departments
gave supply reports only to their
department chiefs.
Jury Disagreed on Count.
Kinard originally had been
charged with stealing 500 walls of
streptomycin as we'll as the three
bottles of the other drug.
A jury. however. was unable to
agree on the streptomycin count,
and a retrial still is pending OH
that indictment.
Judge Goldsborough had the
choice of jailing Kinard for five
years under the statute covering
thefts from the District govern
ment. But he was persuaded by
Defense Counsel Thomas Ahern
that the court had the discretion
of imposing the greater sentence
or a maximum one-year sentence
under the petty larceny statute.
Value Of the stolen chloromycetin
was $1875. an amount within the
petty larceny statute.
Mr.. Ahern argued that If it
were not within the courts discre-
ton to impose the lesser sentence,
courts might be in the absurd
position of failing man for five
years for the theft Of a lead pencil
from the District government.
AS result of the trial, the Dis
trict Commissioners ordered an
investigation into the missing drug
reports, as well as a probe of the
supply system at Gallinger.
Called Paper Shortage"
In a subsequent report to the
Commissioners last week. DR.. Seek
niger characterized the Gallinger
drug disappearance as more Of a
paper shortage" than actual
losses. due to very inadequate
records"
The health officer added in his
report that the fixing of blame
for the apparent shortages would
probably be a legal matter outside
the scope of this report"
DR.. Seckinger said today that
under the new system of checks
and balances" made possible by
the monthly reports to him, he
anticipates mo more difficulty"
in the matter of "shoddy book
keeping"
He explained that in addition
to the inventory reports, Health
Department officials will con-
tinue. as they have in the last
six weeks, to make frequent visits
to the three main supply depart
mentS. These are Gallinger Hos
pital, Glenn Dale Sanatorium and
the central supply Office in the
Municipal Center. The latter Of

; Senators Balk
AT Easing Hatch
Act in DC. Area
Vote Is Delayed Until
Wednesday; Measure
Has Passed House

Unexpectedly strong opposition
to bill to permit Federal en-
ployes living in nearby areas to
engage in local party politics and
to lessen penalties for minor
Hatch Act violations. has delayed
a final Senate vote on the meas
ure until next Wednesday.
BroadSides against the measure
came from such diverse political
figures as Senator Mcclellan,
Democrat, of Tennessee: Senator
Taft, Republican. Of Ohio. and
Senator Humphrey. Democrat. OF
Minnesota. Each had different
reasons for his dislike of the bill.
The bill. produced by q Senate
House conference from separate
versions passed by the two houses,
would do two principal things:
l. Amend the Hatch Act to per-
nit the Civil Service Commission
to penalize a violator with as little
as a 30-day suspension from his
job without pay. Outright dis
missal is now provided by the law.
2. Permit Government workers
in nearby Virginia and Maryland
to take part in party politics at q
local level.
The bill was called up yesterday
with prospects of speedy approval.
But Senator McKellar and the
others objected and q vote was
ordered put of until next Wednes-
day. The House approved 1t
May I.
Oak Ridge Lack Protested.
Senator McKellar protested the
lack of provision to permit Fed
eral workers at the Oak Ridge.
Tenn. atomic plant to engage In
local party politics.
Senator Humphrey blasted a sec
tion of the measure which he said
would make all civil service rec
ords. including confidential files.
available to Congress when q
Hatch Act violation was involved.
He declared 1t would provide an
important precedent for similar
legislation giving congressional
committees a statutory right to
obtain records pertaining to 10y
atty cases.
Senator Humphrey was also
critical Of the provision giving
Federal workers nearby the right
to engage in local party politics.
Withdrawal Of Rights Feared.
There is an important proba-
bility that the Civil Service Com
mission, rather than reverse its
historic position against allowing
employees to participate in party
activities. would withdraw from
Federal employees In the Washing
ton area the limited rights they
now enjoy" Senator Humphrey
declared. ..
He referred to provisions In the
bill that would give the commits
sion the right to bar all political
participation by Federal employees
partisan or -partiSan-if it
decided that the situation war
ranted it.
Continuing the opposition. Sen
ator Taft contended the bill would
completely emaSculate" the dis
missal penalty provided by the
Hatch Act. He argued q 30-day
suspension would. in effect, be no
punishment at all because the
political organization employing
the Federal worker would make
up the lost salary. Senator 6ten.
mis-. Democrat. Of Mississippi, re-
piled that the provision was nec-
essary to take care of minor
violations which did not warrant
dismissal.

The statement by the Canadian
League, which was sent to U. S.
Attorney General J. Howard Nc
Grath, said in part:
To-day, the United States of
America is playing a very promi-
nent role in world affairs. 1t is
generally an accepted axiom that
those who would lead must them
selves be above reproach. So long
as discrimination against Negroes
remains rampant in the United
States, so long will the effective
ness of the U. S. AS role in world
affairs be restricted"
1t continued, "The planned ex-
ecution of Willie MCGEE is, in our
opinion the result of a serious mis-
carriage of justice combined with
an anti-Negro atmosphere"
Mr.. Kent wrote Gov. Wright,
willie MCGEE has been sentenced
to death by the courts of Missis-
sippi on evidence and under cir
cumstances that, in the judgment
of that larger jury, the American
people, are so far from just as. to
place his execution in the shame
full category of legal lynching."
He added, at would seem to
me that a proper respect for the
judgment of mankind in such a
case would in1pel you to exercise
the right of pardon"
MCGEE faces death for allegedly
attacking a middle-aged white wo-
man, in Mississippi in November,
1915. His first two convictions
were reversed after the interven-
ton OF Gro. The third was up
held by the Mississippi and U. S.
Supreme Courts. At all three of
his trials, the court houses were
surrounded by lynch mobs.
| The woman, Mrs. Troy Haw-
kins, admitted in court that sick
child was in the same bed with
her at the time of the alleged at
tack and that her two children
and husband were in an adjoining
room. Mrs. Hawkins never identi-
| fled MCGEE as her attacker.

YOU ARE LOSING THE POWER
OF GOD FOR MONEY

Jesus left blue print of life
For his people all to abide
He shed his blood on rugged
cross
Then he paid for us the cost and
died.
Some tried to tempt him in many
ways
But he said get ye behind
| have healed the sick and raised
the >dead
And gave sight to the wondering
blind.
He came to fulfill his fathers law
He didn't come to destroy no man
But to all who would believe on
Should have a right to the prom
Used land.
The spirit of God in the heart of
man
Is hard to find today
They are driving the spirit of God
Is out
And allowing the churches to go
astray.
Some are using Gods house for
his games
Care nothing for the souls of men
Money is the first thing they are
calling for
And filling Gods house with sin.
How can we give thanks to God
Disobeying his holy will
When he gave his son Jesus to
die for US
On a rugged cross on Calvary's
Hill.
No other one was fit to die for
our sins
Except Jesus Christ the Son
Who healed the sick and raised
the dead
And died that his fathers will
may be done.
The churches are losing their power
The pure spirit from God on high
They are allowing the world a
part in Gods house
And the spirit of God will pass
you by.
God said for US to separate
From the world and all its sin
You will open the doors of Gods
house
And invite the world to come in.
Come in and take the front seat
And pay their way as we'll
The lover of money is the fruit
Of all evil
| believe it's the road to hell.
