Justice Department officials
said today they would seek a
court test to detremine the job
rights of attorneys who obtained
civil service status before May
/, 1947. when legal positions
were placed in excepted schedule
A.
The department has refused
unemployment rights to an at
torney who secured status before
1947. The attorney is fighting
for his position and the depart
ment says it wants a court rul-
ing on the case.
The attorney, Leo A. Roth,
with a record of is years of
Government service, transferred
from Justice to the Office of
Price Sterilization in 1851. When
he sought to return to Justice
last March. the department re-
fused to rehire him. declaring
that it did not recognize his
unemployment rights.
Mr.. Roth appealed to the Civil
Service Commission, which or
dered the department to lehire
him. He was relired on June

dental property owned by his
clients west of the B65O Railroad

Yesterday Johnnie was as

He will race in the 34th heat

In his first heat, Johnnie drew
as racing partners Jefferson

of Cleveland.
Johnnie has four years Of
racing to help him. He won two

two last year. In addition to
winning this year, Johnnie
posted the fastest time of the

TRAVEL EXPENSES-Inade-
quate travel expenses for Gov
ernment employees on official
duty was the subject of debate
in the Senate in the closing
hours before adjournment. The
subject arose during considera-
ton of the bill to raise the travel
allowance of Federal judges.
Originally. the bill would have
given the jurists $25 a day. How
ever, Senator Johnston, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina, raised
the point that it was not fair to
give judges this amount while
Federal employees and members
of Congress are limited to max
imum of SO a day. Congress
finally compromised on a SIS a
day amount for judges.
The prolonged discussion on
the travel expense problem in
dicated that Congress might con-
slider the problem next year, so
far as its own members and
Federal employees are concerned.

Department the authority to fill

Johnnie is here to race against

won his chance in the Wash

workers. She is also pleased with

The workers there have more than
doubled the giving of the past few
years, which shows that people are
giving to the Red Cross if the dis
tricts are carefully mapped out and
solicited. The time has been extend
ed until April 18th, but Mrs. Swain
would greatly appreciate having the
amounts in hand this week so that
her report can be completed IN
plenty of time. The Red Cross Is

every one be to help the Red Cross.
