Trial Examiners Win
Court Order Against
Varying Pay Scales

The Federal Trial Examiners
Conference today won a District
Court Judgment which voided the
practice of some Government
agencies in adopting varying wage
scales for examiners.
The ruling, handed down by
Chief Judge Bolitha J. Laws. also
set aside civil service regulations
which allowed agencies to dis
charge examiners in the same
manner as other employees.
The litigation was started by
the trial examiners. who chal-
lenged civil service authority to
classify them in varying grades
in different agencies and to direct
that cases be assigned to ex-
aminers according to an advance
estimate of the difficulty CT the
case as compared with the ex-
aminer's grade. The grade 'o1
GS-11. the lowest for an examiner
pays $4,000, while GS-15, the
highest, pays $11.800. Approx
mately 800 examiners, who want
a standard grading, are affected
by the ruling.
Infringement Charged
In the suit the examiners con.
ference charged that the regula.
tions infringed on independence
they said was granted them under
the Administrative Procedure.
Act. The conference was repre-.
sented by Attorney Charles S
Rhyme.
In a memorandum opinion
Judge Laws cited a letter from
Senator McCarran. Democrat, O.
Nevada, to the chairman of thu
Civil Service Commission which
said, in speaking Of the Admins
trative Procedures Act, 1T wa.
intended that they (trial exam.
iners) be very nearly equivalent

Judge Laws declared that "I1

Laws said, was aimed to guaran.
tee "even-handed administrative

Strong Inducement.
The judge continued, "Such .
status would not only assure i'm.
lpartiality at the hands of the ex-
laminers. but would serve as strong
Iinducement for persons of char
acter and ability to become ex-
Iaminers."
The opinion stated further "the
act contemplates no distinc-
tions in hearing examiners in any

Transit Probe
Action Put Off
byHouse Unit
Mcmillan Declares
More Study Is Needed
On Patterson Report

The House District Committee
today postponed action on a pro-
posed full-scale investigation Of
the Capital Transit Co. until q
special meeting next week.
Committee Chairman Mcmillan
said his unit did not have time to
|go into the proposal thoroughly to-
day.
Consequently, he said members
requested further time to study the
report Of Representative Patterson,
Republican, of Connecticut. rec
|ommending the probe.
Copies Of the Patterson report
will be made available to members
of the committee as soon as pos
sible. Mr.. Mcmillan said, SO that
they later may take up the prob
lem more intelligently.
Special Meeting Planned.
No time has been, set for the
special meeting, but Mr.. McMil-
Ian said he thought it might be
Wednesday or Thursday.
Text Of the 10-page report by
Mr.. Patterson, who had been dele
gated by the committee to make
a 1-man study of complaints
against the line, will not be made
public now, the committee chair
man said. Members asked that
lit be withheld until they have a
chance to study it. Mr.. Nc
MILAN said he probably will make
the Patterson report public at
the time of the next committee
meeting.
Mr.. Patterson was not present
today since he had to attend a
Republican rally for Senator Taft
of Ohio in New Haven. Conn.,,
tonight.
No Time for Talks.
The Patterson report was laid
before the District committee by
Mr.. Mcmillan, who had received
it about two days ago. He said
he explained the Patterson recon-
mendations but there was not
sufficient time even for discussion
pro and con before the committee
had to adjourn for a session Of
the House at noon.
The Patterson report not only
recommended a full-scale investi-
cation by the House District Com
mittee, but, it was learned, also
proposed that jurisdiction over
the Capital Transit Co. be taken
away from the Public Utilities
Commission and given to the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Demand for investigation Of the
transit line has been mounting
since it was first proposed several
weeks ago by Representative Craw-
ford, Republican, of Michigan.
Mr.. Crawford, at that time IN a
letter to Chairman James II.
Flanagan Of the PUG, charged
that the new transit management
had been reducing service, raising
fares and at the same time declar-
ing tremendous" dividends to
stockholders. Mr.. Crawford also
proposed that the House and
Senate District Committees or
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission should investigate.

Annual Struggle
| launched Over
Daylight Saving
House D. c. Group
Votes One-Yeur Plan
BY Narrow Margin
By Don S. Worren

The House District Committee
today set the stage for the annual
contest with the Senate on whether
daylight saving time for Washing
ton shall be on a one-year basis.
The Senate recently passed q
bill to give the Commissioners
continuing authority to set the
clocks one hour ahead each year
from the last Sunday in April to
the last Sunday in September.
Some indication had been given
that the House District Commit
tee would 60 along with the Sem
ate this year. But when the test
came today in a closed door meet
ing of the committee, the group
again voted to restrict the time
change to just one more year.
"And we Just did get that by"
said Chairman Macmillan. He
said the committee had substi-
tuted the one-year provision by
roll call Of 10 to 8.
Won't Reveal Names.
He refused to say how other
members of the committee had
voted but instructed the COM
mittee clerks to poll the MEM
bers to see if they would let it
be known how they had voted.
Mr.. Macmillan, Democrat. Of
South Carolina said he had voted
for the one-year plan. In past
years the House farm block has
held daylight time here to the
one-year plan and the Senate
reluctantly has accepted this in
order to get any daylight saving
bill enacted.
The District Committee today
also briefly discussed another con-
troversial subject - the Senate
passed bill for an elected form Of
District government.
There was no action taken on
this, but Chairman Macmillan
said the judiciary subcommittee.
headed by Representative Harris.
Democrat, of Arkansas, had held
two meetings on the issue and
promised to schedule public hear
ings soon.
Other Committee Actions.
In other actions, the District
committee today ordered favor
i. able reports on a dozen bills and
tabled one other.
Those approved include:
Amending the District Liquor
Act to permit hotels and restau-
rants to grant credit to customers
for drinks as well as food; to
modernize the Districts corpora
ton laws: to increase the exemp-
tion from garnishment Of wages
: : and salaries from 500 to 5000,
but in this bill it struck provi-
sion that would have excluded
, food, shelter, clothing, and pen
; sion payments from calculation
, of income.
To eliminate fees now charged
, in District Court for the handling
Of certain documents in court
cases; three resolutions providing
a for arrangements for next years
inaugural; to provide a penalty
of $500 for unlawful entry on
. public or private properties, and
. the increase the salary of the
! District rent administrator from
$11. 200 to $4,000 a year.
S The committee tabled a bill
! which would have permitted chain
= store corporations to hold more
than one retail liquor license.

Garden we watched the late Leo
Flynn lead a brigade of Negro
fist singers into the ring to sub

put in an appearance at the last
minute.
Among them were aged Joe

fact that the Madison Square

these dark brethren for a play
mate, the great man-killing
Dempsey sat there red-faced until
Kearns led him out of the ring
amid Bronx cheers and. raucous

DEMPSEY STOOD ALONE

NEW YORK - (ANP) - Back
in the days when mighty Jack
Dempsey, Manassa mauler alTeg-
edly struck a colored bootblack
youth twas cleared in court) we
wondered about the fighter whom
many rate ahead of Jack john
son, Jim Corbett and Joe Louis.
The other night Dempsey, ref
cree of the EzZard Charles Rex
Layne fracas out Utah way, had
a score card that differed COM
pletely from the assembled writ
ers as most of you have already
read.
How many "angels" have un-
derwritten Dempsey's long cam
paign to dig up a white heavy
capable of dethroning the once
great Joe Louis is anybody's guess.
An apostle of white supremacy,
which is his right, Dempsey has
never been flattering in his
praise OF Negro fighters and for
excellent" reasons.
