TRUTH CAMPAIGN - Mean
while, Chairman Robert Rams
peck of the Civil Service Commits
sion reports considerable progress
in his truth campaign" on behalf
|of Government employees.
Mr.. Ramspeck has been making
speeches all over the country, cit
ing the record of Government en-
Iployes to refute charges that they
are inefficient and lazy.
One of the most encouraging
examples of the results achieved Is
the correspondence that Mr..
Ramspeck has had with Joseph j.
Trainer. sales manager of the Roll
Ter Bearing Co. of America, Tren-
ton, N. j.
No One Had Hand Out.
In a recent circular to staff as
sociates, Mr.. Trainer, who had
just returned from a trip to Wash
ington in connection with Govern
ment business. declared that Fed
eral employees he had come into
contact with were competent
conscientious, and in some cases
overworked."
Mr.. Trainer added that "for all
the talk of mink coats. we met nc
one in Washington who had his
hand out. In fact they went out
of their way to avoid anything
that could possibly be construed
as entertainment"
MIR. Trainer added in his cir.
cular to Roller Bearing employees:
THE greatest irony about the
whole Washington picture is the
insecurity of Federal employees
many of whom took their positions
in the hope of finding security
Many lack the security of a per.
manent home. When the budget
expires. they never know where
or in what kind of job they will
find themselves. The competition
between agencies is surely every
bit as bitter as the competition
between corporations and the
mortality rate among agencies is
certainly high.

Area Briek|ayers Ask
80 Cents an Hour Pay

Bricklayers in the Washington
area are asking a 30-cent-an-houl
wage boost which would raise theil
scale to $26.40 a day. They now
receive So an hour or $24 a day.
The request comes more than
five months before the AFL unions
contract expires with two contrac-
tors associations.
Although their two-year con-
tract is not up until May /. the
bricklayers' proposal Is being given
careful consideration by the con-
tractors.
One informant said 1t was pos
sible the contractors would accede
tito the request in the field OF
Government and commercial
building, where the increase ap-
piled to work not now contracted

Meeting Set for Tomorrow.
They probably will object to
giving the increase to bricklayers
in the private housing field, where
competition is keen. and where
there already is much non-union
construction.
A meeting is scheduled tomor-
row between union officials ano
representatives of the Mason
Contractors Association of the
District of Columbia and the En-
ploying Bricklayers Association.
The bricklayers, always in short

courage and develop suggestion
programs in private industry and
the Government.
The employe economy incentive
program was voted by Congress
as part of the 1949 Federal Pay
Act and provides for large cash
awards to employees who group
together to effect economies.
Few Awards Made.
Despite the fact that the law
has been on the books for more
than two years, very few awards
have been made. Until now, the
only substantial award was made
by the Treasury Department. This
meager record recently drew the
severe criticism of Senator Long,
Democrat, of Louisiana. the au-
thor of the incentive bill.
Navy's action in announcing its
employe awards in this regard is
expected to result in similar ac-
ton by other defense units, such
as the Army and Air Force, as
we'll as other Federal agencies.

cordance with directions he gave
in his will.
Mr.. Noyes. who devoted his life
to the welfare of the National Cap
ital, saw many of his dreams for
tai, saw many of his dreams for
its physical development come
true. His death in 1946 left un-
realized one of his greatest ambi-
tions-to see the Washingtonian
Americanized by being accorded
voting representation in the Con-
gress which governs him. and the
right to vote in presidential elec-
tions.
Joint Committee to Sell Copies.
Many years before his death
Mr.. Noyes began preparation of a
book through which he could con-
tinue to advocate this measure of
justice for his native city, and
when he wrote his will he still
hoped to complete the book. He
made alternative plans, however,
for it's completion by close advisers
through selection and correlation
of his own writings on the subject
through the years.
The task has been completed
and the book is being released
tomorrow under the title, "Oul
National Capital and Its Un-
Americanized Americans"
One thousand copies Of the
book have been presented by the
trustees of the Noyes estate tc
the Citizens Joint Committee or

will find the book an arsenal OF
facts and powerful arguments
But the book is more than a
treatise on political equity. While
that is the central theme, its 271
pages also retell in entertaining
form the story of how the seat of
government was established and
developed into one Of the great
capitals of the world.
Mr.. Noyes also battled through
out his newspaper career to pro-
tect Washingtonians from being
saddled with a disproportionate
share of the cost of developing
and maintaining city which be-
longs to the Nation, and the es-
sential facts of this struggle also
are set forth.
The book is embellished with
photographs of Washington today
and in its early stages of develop
ment. Its pages also are decorated
with cartoons by the late Clifford

ryman. The elder Mr.. Berryman's

Longest Race Ever Run Here
VIII Be Held On Closing Dav
OF Race Meeting.

The beautiful, new grandstand,
that Willie Ford, of Racing Form,
says is the finest of any half-mile
track in the country, is not the only
thing that will be new when the
gates are opened for Hagerstown's
race meet on Tuesday, July 81.
Racing Secretary, Henry j. Car
roll, has announced that in addition
to a mile-and-a-half race, the long
est race ever staged in Hagerstown
2 5/16 miles-will be held on the
closing day, Saturday, August H.
Purses totaling over $4,000 will
be offered horsemen during the ten
day meet and the two top feature
races of the meet will be the Harry
E. Bester Memorial on opening day
and the Harold F. Bester Memorial
on closing day. Both races are nam
ed in honor of the past presidents
of the association.
Merle H. Beard, assistant manager
for the meeting, has announced that
the Jones Photo-Finish Camera-the
same camera used at Charles Town,
w. Va. and most of the leading
tracks in the East-will also be used
here
Several horses are already at the
track, which has become known as
the million dollar" racing plant,
with the stable of Mrs. George A.
Saportas, Jr., leading woman trainer
on the half-mile tracks, being the
first to arrive.
Mrs. Saportas shipped string of
ID horses here direct from Water
ford Downs, W. Va, and they in
clude such well-known sprinters as
Miss Prime, Nerve, Gainafoot, Pen
mast and Conweago.
The track itself has been widened
and the turns made safer, while the
racing strip is being brought into
tip-top shape.
The public address system will be
handled by Walter Haight, turf re-
porter for the Washington Post,
which insures that everyone at the
track will get an accurate and well
called description of every race.
