surances that have been given

largely created and expanded by
Republican administrations, the
rights and benefits of regular
civil service employees are pro-
tected."
No Wholesale FiringS.
Senator Carlson added that
wholesale dismissals which &C.
Cured in prior years solely for
political reasons will not recur
under the Republican admins

Senator Carlson said that
there will be some changes in
Government personnel. Some
departments and agencies will
be improved by reorganizations.
some departments and agencies
may be eliminated entirely. Re-

Use Of Pressure
For Liquor Firm
Laid TO Mea|ey
House Group Told
He Directed Issue of
Permit Denied Earlier
By Cecil HoIIond

A Treasury agent told House
investigators today that Carroll
E. Mealey personally interviewed
while head of the Revenue Blu
reau's Alcoholic Tax unit and
directed the issuance of a Fed
eral permit to a New York liquor
company that was mot worthy
of the trust of the Government. "
The testimony was given by
John j. McGinnity of the Gus
toms Bureau. The witness said
he had been assigned to investi-
gate Mr.. Mealey's dealings with
Louis I. PokraSs, New York tele-
vision manufacturer and one
time liquor man.
Mr. McGinfty testified that in
interviewing Mr.. Pokrass about
his relations with Mr.. Mealey,
the New Yorker said that in Oc-
tober, 1916. he had contributed
$4,000 to the New York State
Democratic Committee.
Previous Permits Refused.
The agent testified that Mr..
Mealey directed that a permit
be issued to the Gotham Liquor
Corp, organized by Mr.. Pokrass,
although on at least three other
occasions, permits had been re-
fused and the license of an ear
lier company in which Mr.. Pok-
rass was interested had been re-
voked.
John r. Tobin, chief counsel
to the House Ways and
Means investigating subcommit-
tee. brought out that Mr..
Mealey's actions in the Gotham
application for q basic Federal
permit took place a few months
after Mr.. Mealey became head
of the alcohol tax unit on July
/, 1916 The subcommittee has
received testimony that Mr..
Mealey had at least $4,000 in
income unreported on his tax
returns during the five years he
held the position.
Bought Fur Coat.
With Mr.. McGinnity's testi-
mony, Mr.. To5in tied in a chron-
illogical sequence of events in
connection with the issuance of
the Gotham permit and the pur-
chase of a fur coat valued at
So, 400 by Mrs. Mealey.
It was brought out that Gotham
filed it's application for a permit
on March IL, 1916, and that
every indication was that the
permit would be denied.
Mr.. McGinity testified that
three previous applications for
permits by companies in which
Mr.. Pokrass was interested had
been turned down largely be-
cause of a record of arrest of
Mr.. Pokrass and an associate on

.Donohue Asks
Territorial Type
Rule for District
2-House Assembly,
Governor Urged in
Talk to Congressman
By Don S. Warren

The Commissioners. comforting
today with the chairmen Of the
House and Senate District Com
mitteeS. spoke in favor Of some
form of Washington home rule
and one of them suggested CIV
ing the city something like a ter.
ritorial form of government.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dom
ohue, president of the board,
suggested changes to provide the
District with a legislative as
sembly. with upper and lower
houses, instead of a city council.
He also proposed the appoint
ment of a governor instead of Q
mayor.
During the round table, Chair
men Case, of the Senate COM
mittee and Simpson of the House
unit, briefly reviewed some 60
bills. These include those intro
duced in the new Congress, those
which failed of enactment last
year and those now being pre-
pared for submission.
Seek Five Commissioners.
One of these is Senator Cases
bill, recommended by President
Eisenhower, to increase the size
of the Board of Commissioners
from three to five. One of his
purposes is to create room for
the appointment of a Negro and
a woman member.
Mr.. Donohue told the legisla-
tors he personally was opposed
to this move, but said he did not
know if he could speak for his
commissioners. At this point
both Commissioners Renahs
Camalier and Engineer Com
missioner Louis Prentiss re-
manned silent.
The commissioner announced
they were preparing and soon
would submit the Districts big
public works authorization bill.
Favor Nicely Bills.
They announced their support,
with one important qualification.
of the Davis Crime Control bills,
passed by the House last year.
but which failed of action by
the Senate District Committee.
They also are preparing to send
UP a report favoring at least
some of the eight Nicely bills
which resulted from last years
Senate crime investigation.
Commissioner Donohue also
said the city heads are preparing
to submit a bill providing for a
pay raise for Washington police
and firemen but did not reveal
any details. After the session,
Schuyler Lowe, director of Gen.
eral Administration for the Dis
trict, told reporters an increase
even of 10 per cent in police and
fire pay would add about $2.5
million a year to District costs.
The House now has one bill al
ready, proposing a Is per cent
pay raise.
Would Modify Property Tax.

posed repeal of the Districts per.

Frank M. Cox, missing Alex
andria automobile dealer, was
accused in court action today
of attempting to sell used cars
with fraudulent titles after first
obtaining loans on them.
A short time afterward the
General Credit, Inc, of Washing
ton moved in on Mr.. Cox's used
car lot with half a dozen wreck
ers and towed away IS cars to
which the finance company still
holds title.
All other cars on the lot were
frozen under an attachment or
der fled by General Credit, which
had been financing the purchase
of some of Mr.. Cox's cars at
the Gateway Motors, Inc.
H. F. Harms, treasurer for
General Credit, said check for
5000 given the company for
six cars purchased by Gateway,
had failed to clear the bank a
few days after Mr.. Cox disap-
peared.
MysteriOusly Vanished.
Mr.. Cox has been sought by
police since he mysteriously left
a Philadelphia hotel last week,
believed carrying many thou
sands of dollars.
Since then investors have
been telling a story indicating
that Mr.. Cox left his business
at Gateway Motors, in Alex
andria and new District
finance company in a muddled
condition.
One Philadelphia automobile
dealer reported he has not re-
ceived payment for II cars
turned over to Mr.. Cox last
month. The company said it still
held title to the cars, in line with
its policy not to give up owner
ship of cars without first receiv-
ing payment.
Writ Is Obtained.
A temporary injunction was
obtained in Alexandria Corpora
ton Court today forbidding
Gateway Motors from selling two
automobiles obtained last month
from the Clanton Auto Sales,
