that it would defeat the purpose
of the recent legislative Reorgan-
ization Act, which was opposed to
legislation by rider. However,
that is a matter for the Senate to
decide. The final decision as TO
whether to consider the amend
ment would rest with the presiding
officer-probably Vice President
Barkley.
Should his move fail on the ap-
preparation bill. Senator Douglas
plans to offer similar amend
ment to any other civil service bill
that comes up for Senate co1sld-
Grafton, possibly the efficiency
rating or Hoover personnel pro-
posals.
Senator Douglas definitely does
not plan to incorporate his pro-
posals into a separate bill. That's
because it then would be referred
to the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee, which would be almost sure
to pigeonhole the measure. The
civil service group is pretty friend
ly to Federal workers. That's why
Senator Douglas will seek his OBJ
jective by means of an amend
ment.
Although Senator Douglas move
is definite threat to Federal en-
ployes' leave, employe leaders are
hopeful they can defeat any such
move this year. But they &C
knowledge that, even If they are
successful this year. it may only
be a matter of time before annual
leave is cut.
Senator Douglas wants the 26
days annual leave cut to 20 days
and the Is days sick leave
trimmed to II or 13 days.
HOW'S THAT?-The Civil
Service Commission reports that
a Federal job applicant recently
explained an arrest record as
follows on his form 81:
81 was arrested for riding a
horse without a tail light on
the State highway after dark:
Fined S10."
DELAY-The Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee has been forced to
delay it's hearings on the Hoover
Commission personnel proposals
and the Civil Service Commfssion's
recommendations for replacing the
Governments present efficiency
rating system.
The reason is the absence OF
Senator Long, Democrat, of Lou
iSiana, who Is chairman Of the
subcommittee in charge of the
hearings. For the last few weeks.
Senator Long has been in LOU
isiana getting ready for his re-
election campaign. Senator Longs
primary race-which in Louisiana
is tantamount to election will
be held in July and there are re-
ports that he faces a considerable
fight for reelection.
Senator Long, however, is ex-
pected back in a few weeks and
the committee will try to hold the
hearings then.
RINGERS - The Civil Service
Commissions decision to finger
print future Government job ap-
plicants before they take their
exams is something that has been
advocated for long time by many
personnel officials. There always

Pity for Car Riders
Judge Charles Markell tried
to come to the rescue of the
poor trolley car passenger ma
rooned on a safety island.
But he could make no head
way with his colleagues on the
Maryland Court of Appeals.
They ruled yesterday in favor of
a driver whose car fatally in
jured a man attempting to cross
the street from a safety island.
The man had just alighted from
q streetcar.
AS Judge Markell put it, his
colleagues ruled that motor
lists are free" from any duty to
look out for passengers trying
to escape from a safety island.
If drivers catch on to this,
Judge Markell said in a dissent
ing opinion, streetcar passengers
eventually will become extinct.

Met And
Fell In Love

Their last names are the same,
they grew up in nearby towns in
Sweden, but they had to cross an
ocean and continent and sit
side by side in an English class at
the Central Baptist Evening School
in Seattle before they met.
The girl. Inga Person, pretty
and brown-eyed, was only going to
stay one year in the United States.
She changed her mind. The boy,
Hedge Person, who faced the prob
lem of adjusting himself TO his
new environment in America, sud
denly found everything was all
right. He met, wooed and now he's
already married to Inga, the girl
with whom he once sang in the
same chorus in Sweden, apparently
without noticing her.
Such is life and it looks pretty
good to Inga and Hedge Person,
who arrived in America only a
short time ago. They look like
they're going to live happily ever
after.

While the other Scandinavian

Viking era, the ways of paganism
