Three street sweepers found
the beaten and burned body OF

with its first cadets this month

The congressional enactment

the Chicago firm of Skidmore,

by Representative Lesinski, Dem

Mr. Davis plans to hold prompt
hearings and committee approval
is regarded as certain. The Sen
ate Civil Service Committee is
prepared to approve the measure
without hearings as soon as the
House acts. Therefore, the time
element becomes all-important,
with Congress seeking to go home
by the end Of the month. Spon-
sors of the bill express conf
dence the measure can be enact
ed into law within the next few
weeks If everyone co-operates.
The bill would guarantee Fed
eral workers against taking a cut
in salary If their jobs are down.

Commission and agencies are
constantly reviewing job require

posed a threat to Federal EN-.

decision later. according to at.
torneys for Mr.. Clark.
Closed Hearing
Mr.. Murphy conducted the
hearing behind closed doors de-
spite Judge Clark's insistence
that it be open to the press.
James B. Conant, United
States high commissioner fol
Germany, has tried to keer
Judge Clark out of Berlin, and
submitted a new statement to-
day that he objected strongly
to allowing Judge Clark in that
area. Earlier, DR.. Conant &C.
cused Judge Clark of irrespon-
Sible utterances embarrassing tc
the United States.
At the closed hearing today
Judge Clark declared that, Il
do not care so much about OBJ

as I do to bringing an end TO
your un-American tyranny by

Judge Clark made these state
ments in a prepared speech read

man of Washington, made copies

Mr.. Wasserman said that Judge
Clark, under questioning, ex-
planned he wants to go to Berlin
to visit friends, including the
widow of the late Lord Mayor
Reuter- Of Berlin. Mr.. Wasser-
man said Judge Clark said he
has no intention of making a
public speech or Of calling a
press conference If allowed to go
to Berlin. but at the same time
wants to reserve the right to
free speech.
In his prepared statement
Judge Clark declared:
Il believe that any American
citizen is entitled to criticize any
policy of his Government where
ever he may be. That is the
essence of the right of free
speech made sacred by our Con-

And now the House Civil

undermining the merit system
and bringing about the return
Of the spoils system.
Until now, Chairman Murray
and his colleagues on the House
committee have had little to say
about the situation, although
they have been keeping a close
watch on things. BY its action
yesterday, the committee served
notice that it is seriously dis
turbed about many Of the things
that are going on in civil service
these days.
The House committees in
vestigation also will concern it
self with manpower utilization,
distribution of super-grade jobs
and other personnel management
operations.
The main emphasis, however,
will be on the Administrations
policies on assigning civil service
jobs to excepted categories, the
operation of the Civil Service
Commission, moves to secure

said. lie Democratic congress-
sional leadership has shown a
commendable awareness Of the

But when the prospect of
political gain presents itself, the
House Democratic leadership is
apparently unable to resist the
practice of political demagog-
uery."
