Retired Civil Workers Take
Annuity Plea 10 Capitol

Delegates to the convention of
the National Association Of Re
tired Civil Employees this morn
ing visited Capitol Hill to seek
the legislators support for lib
eralizing annuity benefits.
The delegates met with their
individual representatives and
senators to present their case for
pension increases.
At yesterdays session In the
Natural History Museum Audi
torium, the convention approved
resolution asking that the tenn
porary annuity increase given re-
tired Federal workers several
years ago be made permanent. It
also asked that the maximum in
crease for annuities provided by
the temporary legislation be
raised from 1924 to 1896.
The convention also asked the
Senate to revise to $1,500 a
House-approved provision for a
$1,000 Federal income tax ex-
emption for retired employees.
Frank j. Wilson, former chief
of the Secret Service and presi-
dent of the association, presided
over the sessions. The conven-
ton is being attended by 300
delegates, who represent more
than 10000 members of the as

He said, however. that he sub
sequently has listened to a num-
ber Of witnesses from the in
dustry, who appeared before the
Commissioners and the Public
Utilities Commission, and he
now feels some kind of control
is needed.
Gen. Prentiss emphasized that
the Commissioners have not
formally taken a position in the
matter, and moreover the Citi-
zens' Advisory Committee has
not made its recommendations.
Previously, the Commissioners
had turned down the idea of
limitation.
With approval Of the public
works bill by the Senate yester-
day, Commissioner Spencer said.
among the first projects to be
considered will be construction
of an extension to the Receiving

ReeS and some others, who will

Companies are sponsoring a Sc
ries of newspaper ads featuring
tributes from Senator'S to the
abilities and devotion Of Govern
ment employees.
So far the company has been
able to obtain these tributes from
Democratic Senators only. A
number Of Republican Senators
who have been asked have re-
fused. These Senators are
friendly enough to Government
employees, supporting and even
sponsoring beneficial employe
bills. However. they candidly
acknowledged that praise of
Government employees isn't good
politics because it doesn't 60
over very well with the folks
back home.
One Republican said: "I'd like
to do it very much. because I
admire Government employees
and have done a lot to help
them. But it would harm me
with the voters back home. They
like to think Of Federal workers
as lazy and unnecessary"

At the same time, Mr.. FinaJ1

PAY-Four more Senators
have added their names as spon-
sors Of the bill to increase the
salaries of classified and postal
employees by from $400 to $500
year. There are now 10 spon-
sors. Senator Johnston, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina, the
original sponsor, hopes to wind
up with 80 co-authors on the
legislation within the next few
days.
The latest to, add their names
to the bill are Senators LANCER
of North Dakota and Morse of
Oregon, Republicans, and Ken
nedy of Massachusetts, and
Douglas of Illinois, Democrats.
The legislation would provide a
10 per cent or $400 increase to
classified and postal workers,
whichever amount is the larger.
Meanwhile, the House Civil

Senate Committee
Approves Bill for ;
More Judges Here

The Senate judiciary Commit
tee yesterday approved a bill to
provide three additional judge
ships for the heavily burdened
u. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Sponsored by Senator McCar-
ran. Democrat, Of Nevada. the
measure also would create a
new circuit court-the 11th-to
serve, Alaska. Idaho, Montana.
Oregon and Washington.
The number Of judges in the
new circuit would be five. while
the number in the present ninth
circuit would be reduced from
nine to eight.
In all, the McCarran Bill seeks
% judgeships for district courts
on a Nationwide basis and four
for the circuit courts, generally
referred to as the United States
Courts of Appeals.
Commenting on the likelihood
that he will get three more
judges on his bench, Chief Judge
Bolitha j. Laws said:
There undoubtedly is a Sc
rious need for three additional
judges to handle our case load,
especially. if domestic matters
which could be handled by a
family court are not divorced
from our work."
Judge Laws has been an
ardent exponent of a family
court and hopes to set up a sep
arate three-judge bench to han
die these matters exclusively.

Fake Ransom Traps
Texan in Extortion
Plot Against Jews
BY the Asseeioted Press

DALLAS, Tex. May 11.-Fed-
eral Bureau of Investigation
agents seized a gaunt. 49-year-
old gun wielder here last night
in the climax of fruitless effort
to extort 100000 from Dallas
Jews.
Death by fire, dynamite and
gunfire plus manning with acid
had been threatened in letters
received by members of 20 prom
inent Jewish families.
James Hollis Jones. the man
taken in the brief action by FBI
men when he approached a
package supposedly containing
money, said today he was a
member of a, family prominent
in Texas legal. circles, an FBI
agent said.
FBI Agent-in-Ch j. K.
Mumford said that Jones claimed
to be the brother of Harry Jones,
a member of a Houston law firm.
Faces at Least 20 Counts.
Mr.. Mumford said Jones faced
at least 20 counts of extortion
and a possible charge Of attempt
ed murder of a Federal officer.
Early today only a John Doe
charge of extortion, obtained sew
eral days ago. had been filed.
Last night, the wild-eyed Jones
was dashed over the head as he
drew a .38-caliber revolver when
FBI agents identified themselves.
He fired only one shot and it
missed.
On April 20 the families re-
;eived a letter which began: You
Jews to pay 100000. How many
you Jews be dead before you pay.
Acid dynamite fire guns will
make you pay"
Julius Schepps, Dallas sports
man and business and civic
leader, was singled out for the
role of collector from Dallas Jew
ry and was apparently the prin-
cipal target.
Saw Figure in Mirror.
Mr.. Schepps' younger brother,
George. served as go-between in
some of the negotiations and
actually threw the package from
the car which lured Jones to
the FBI trap. AS directed. George
Schepps dropped the package
near a railroad embankment
northeast of Dallas and then
drove like hell" to get away.
Through his rear-view mirror,
the younger Schepps said he
could see a figure descending
the railroad embankment. OFF,
GERS quickly surrounded Jones
and overwhelmed him as he drew
his gun and fired. His head was
battered and his clothes spat-
tered with mud as agents took
him into FBI headquarters.
