Architects Pledge Aid in Government Monopoly Probe Maginnis Addresses Opening Session of Convention Here “Fearless” co-operation with the Government in its investigation of charges that monopolistic groups within the building industries have sabotaged national recovery was promised today by Charles D. Ma- ginnis of Boston, president, of the American Institute of Architects. “Architects have not been held blameless of failure to find means and methods which would bring con- struction within the costs which would realize the social intent pf the shgn clearance.fcrfljects,” he told del- egates at the opening session of the institute's 71st convention, In the Mayflower Hotel. He declared that while architects “had grown accustomed to regard the building industry as the chief victim of the economic tragedy,” they must now examine the indictment that "high costs of the industry's la- bor and materials are not only para- lyzing long-term investments, but that these costs are artificially estab- lished and maintained by the indus- try’s selfish groups in defiance of the general interest.” v Business Upswing Forecast. President Maginnis told reporters the monopoly investigation to which he is pledging support is that of the Temporary National Economic Com- mittee, which is headed by Senator Joseph C. OMahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming, and Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold. “Whatever merit lies in the gen- eral complaint may fully develop out of the investigation, but it rests as a public duty on the institute to see that all its implications are fear- lessly examined,” he said. He ex- pressed belief that the current “im- provement” in the construction in- dustry is part of a general upswing in business as a result of Govern- ment stimulation. Mr. Maginnis asked that the Fed- eral Government, in its building op- erations, make greater use of pri- vate architects—either by direct se- lection or competition. At the same time he urged that more private architects participate in such re- gional competitions as do exist. “In a recent instance only 10 per cent of the registered architects of the region participated, and the issue unfortunately was not such as to support the contention that pri- vate architects have superior service to offer.” he reriorted. Two Washingtonians Elected. Speaking of the course to be fol- lowed by the profession in view of the European war. Mr. Maginnis as- sured the American delegates, to- gether with visitors from more than a dozen foreign nations, that “with confidence that we cherish no nar- row or selfish interest but a great cultural idea, we should hold our course in the belief that man has not lost his soul and that his world will presently come again to sanity.” Two Washingtonians were among 17 members elected as fellows of the institute. They were William T. Partridge, consulting architect of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, whose home is in Silver Spring, Md., and Francis P. Sullivan of 3320 Randolph place N.W. Nathan Straus, United States housing administrator, and Everett Uberto Crosby of New York were named honorary members. Henry Martineau Fletcher of London, hon- orary secretary of the Royal In- stitute of British Architects, and Louis Madeline of Paris were chosen honorary corresponding members. Jean Labatut of Princeton Uni- versity will lecture on “Light and Architecture” at 8:30 o’clock tonight. Tomorrow morning will be occupied with nomination of officers and di- rectors and the report of the Com- mittee on Federal Public Works, to be presented by Charles Butler of New York City. Tomorrow night C. C. Zantzinger of Philadelphia will present the report of the Com- mittee on Education. Use year head when yon nee the _L Igor Cassini Called As Jury Investigates Tar-Feather Case Three Fauquier County Men Accused by D. C. Columnist by a Staff Correspondent of The Star. WARRENTON, Va., Sept. 25.— Igor Cassini, Washington newspaper columnist, was summoned before a Fauquier County grand jury today to tell of the events of the night of June 25. when he charges he was kidnaped, tarred and feathered by three local men. The jury was considering a bill of indictment presented to it by Commonwealth Attorney C. W. Carter, in which three are accused of “assault by a mob” on Mr. Cassini. The jury, after hearing testimony by Mr. Cassini and one other wit- ness, must return a true or false bill. The three men accused of the as- sault on the columnist are Ian and Colin Montgomery, brothers, and Alexander Calvert, all members of families active in hunt country affairs. The accused, who have been free on bond since they sur- rendered following the tar-and- feather incident, were not among the witnesses summoned by the jury. Seven-man Jury Sworn. With Mr. Cassini. John Taylor, Jr., waited to testify this morning. It was at Mr. Taylor's farm, outside of Warrenton, that Mr. Cassini first appeared after his abductors had left him in a lonely wooded spot. Circuit Judge J. R. H. Alexander swore the seven-man grand jury in this morning. This was its first session since the incident early in the summer. The Cassini case was one of 12 criminal cases presented to the jury. Mr. Cassini was attending a dance at the Warrenton Country Club on the night he was kidnapped. He was lured outside the country club, he said, thrown into an automobile, beaten and taken to a secluded spot several miles from town. Others Not Identified. There, he told authorities, his abductors stripped him, covered him with liquid tar and with feathers and deserted him. They told him they were angry at things he had written in his newspaper column. He made his way to Mr. Taylor’s home and was brought to the hos- pital here for treatment. He swore out warrants naming the Mont- gomery brothers and Mr. Calvert as members of the band, but has never been able to ascertain the identity of others in the group. W. C. T. U. Ceremony In honor of. the centenary of Frances Willard, a dramatic read- ing featuring incidents in her life, will be presented by Katherine Wil- fley Thursday at 7:30 pm. in the E street Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Ellen Russell, vice president of Central Iota Sigma Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union, will preside. Food Surplus PlansProceed Despile War Demand Not Expected To Show Much Rise For Several Months By th* Associated Press. Agriculture Department officials said today they would go ahead with an expanded distribution of surplus food to the Nation’s relief families despite an expected increase in Eu- ropean- demand for American farm products. Although war has tended to lighten the burden of-most agriculture sur- pluses here, they said, the war de- mand is not expected to show much change for several months. Food Stamps in Six Cities. The Agriculture Department's food stamp plan for distributing surplus food through regular commercial channels is now operating in six cit- ies—Rochester, N, Y.; Dayton, Ohio; Birmingham, Ala.; Seattle, Wash.; Des Moines, Iowa, and Shawnee Okla. It will be started soon in Springfield, 111. Several dozen other cities are under consideration. By the time war buying showed any sizable increase, officials said. American production could be ex- pected to have expanded sufficiently to meet the extra demand in the case of most crops. The war has caused the Govern- ment to change its mind about dis- tributing rice to relief families, how- ever. Cuba and other Western Hemisphere customers which ord- inarily buy large quantities in the Orient, turned to the United States for supplies. Consequently the sur- plus problem has disappeared. Lard Is Included. At the same time the department included lard under its food stamp plan, despite a potential sharp in- crease in European demand. In the case of some American farm products the surplus situation is expected to be aggravated by the war. Included are some fresh fruits particularly apples, dried fruits and the so-called ‘‘luxury" foods. Edgar Dean Gemeny Dies Here at Age of 76 Edgar Dean Gemeny, 76, Wash- ington carpenter for many years died today at the home of his son- in-law, Dr. Raymond W. Murray 4531 South Dakota avenue N.E.

Mr. Gemeny had been living at the home of Dr. Murray a year. He is survived by two daughters Mrs. Esther Richards of Westwood Md., and Mrs. Eva Murrav of Washington, and three sons,’ An- drew and Ferguson of this city, and Edgar of Townshend, Work Begun on Navy's New Airplane Carrier Work was started today on the $31,800,000 airplane carrier Hornet at the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry dock Co., the Navy Depart- ment announced. The 19,800-ton vessel will be the seventh airplane carrier in the Navy. It was authorized by the Naw Ex- pansion Act of 1938, and is sched- uled to be completed in 34 months.

Stating that the field of medi- cine will always see peace and satisfaction, the prominent psy- chiatrist cited the need for con- fidence, intelligence and restraint of emotion. The assembly at which Dr. Over- holser spoke was marked by the un- vailing of a portrati of the late Dr. William Alanson White, for 34 years superintendent of St. Elizabeth's and professer of psychiatry at George Washington University.

Dr. Cloyd Heck Marvin, president, was unable to attend. Dr. Overholser characterized the late head of the local hospital as the "ideal medical man.” adding that “to have known hJn is a benediction.” He praised his contributions to the field of psycho-somatic medicine. Noting the death of Sigmund Freud last Saturday, Dr. Overholser termed the world-famous psychoanalysist a man with more influence on human t.hmiffht. than anv narcnn In fronora_ tions. The new students, six of whom are women, were asked to make a study of other than their own art, adding that “today there is too much specializing in medicine.” Dean Walter A. Bloerdom wel- comed returning students and facul- ty and told of curriculum changes and increased teaching personnel in the School of Medicine. To the new students he said: “The accep- tance of your application you should regard as a prize possession and guard' it most carefully, realizing that the place you occupy has been striven for by at least 10 other ap- plicants.” New Canadian Envoy Reaches Washington Paced with many delicate prob- lems because of the war, Loring Christie, new Canadian Minister to the United States, arrived in Wash- ington yesterday, and was busy to- day at his desk at the legation on Massachusetts avenue.

Roosevelt Hopes Gold Star Rolls Will Never Increase Message From President To World War Mothers Assures Peace Efforts With a message from President Roosevelt expressing hope that the membership in America’s Gold Star Mothers never would be increased, approximately 60 mothers who lost sons in the World War gathered in Arlington National Cemetery yes- terday and placed wreaths on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. “In the present harrowing con- flict,” the President wrote in his message to Gold Star Mothers throughout the country, "we are determined that this Republic, inso- far as lies within the power of its Government, shall remain aloof— honestly and truly neutral. We are determined that there shall be no augmentation of 'the membership rolls of the Gold Star Mothers. “I desire to give a pledge to the Gold Star Mothers of the World War that the Government of the United States has every determina- tion that the mothers of this gen- eration will not be called upon to bear the tragic sacrifices which fell to the lot of mothers of youths of military age two decades ago.” The President’s words were read by Mrs. Matilda Burling of Richmond Hills, N. Y„ national president of the American Gold Star Mothers of the World War. Mrs. Burling placed a wreath for the national!organization, while an honor guard from the 12th Infantry gave the traditional military cere- mony. Others presented wreaths for various State chapters. Brief addresses were delivered by Prank L. Packard, past commander of the District Department of the American Legion; Dan Campbell, chairman of the National Employ- ment and Civil Service Committee of the Veterans of Foreign Wars; Dr. W. C. Hess, department com- mander of the Disabled American Veterans, and Miss Frances Brams of Newark, N. J„ national president of the Ladles’ Auxiliary, Jewish War Veterans. The Army Band took part in the program. In a Gold Star Mother’s day ad- dress broadcast nationally, Senator Walsh of Massachusetts urged these mothers to use their Influence against repeal of the arms embargo. Hie mission of mothers bereaved by the last war, he said, should be to portray "the Irreparable hu- man losses of war." 4 Transit Workers. Place Wage Pleas Before Arbitration Merrill Tells Board Boost Is Not Justified By Company Earnings Wage increases for workers in the transportation department and sev- eral miscellaneous classifications of the Capital Transit Co. and estab- lishment of an approximate eight- hour day were asked today at a hearing before an arbitration board held at Pythian Temple, Ninth street near Massachusetts avenue N.W. The meeting was called to find a solution for problems which the company and representatives of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employes of America, Di- vision 689, had been unable to solve in negotiations lasting several months. The board, composed of Walter C. Clephane, neutral member; Charlton Ogbum, employes’ mem- ber, and Edmund L. Jones, for the company, heard opening statements by O. D. Zimring, representing the association, and E. D. Merrill, president of the Capital Transit Co. Summary of Demands. The association’s demands, sum- marized by Mr. Zimring, included requests for wage increases from 67 cents to 73 cents per hour for em- ployes engaged in two-man car operation, raises from 74 cents to 83 cents per hoar for one-man op- eration and an increase from the present minimum of 50 cents per hour for shop and equipment main- tenance employes to 60 cents. Also asked was the establishment of an approximate 8-hour day for transportation employes with the inclusion of an overtime clause and provisions for overtime pay at a rate, of time and a half. The association also asks for 632.50 per 6-day week minimum for extra men, and protection for vet- eran employes in the company's transition to one-man operation. The changes, Mr. Zimring de- clared, would be Justified by the increase of group efficiency and the greater value to the industry. He said the association would show that the 74 cent per hour rate paid here is exceeded by companies in 18 other cfties in the same population group as Washington. The cost of living here, he claimed, is one' of the three highest by comparison. Merrill Opposes Increase. Mr. Merrill said, “The actual hours of pay-per-day are higher than on most properties resulting from the i unusually liberal allowances made by this company for time not worked.” The cost involved in the pro- posed changes, he declared, would “more than eat up the entire net Income of last year.” The cost to the company he said would involve ad- ditional expenditures amounting to more than *1,000.000. “At the present time,” he said, “the employes are enjoying earnings which give them the highest pur- chasing power they have ever had.” The company, he said, will show that the average weekly earnings of these employes stands among the highest of any group in the country. Mr. Merrill pointed out that in addi- tion to the employes, the company was obligated to the more than 2,000 stockholders and investors, and said that no Increase in the wage rate was Justified until the owners of the system have had some return. i % 40 Pcf. of U. S. Workers Here Are Women 84.5 Per Cent Men Elsewhere, Civil Service Reports women give men a vigorous battle for Government employment In the District—but they are far outnum- bered elsewhere in the country. The semi-annual personnel report of the Civil Service Commission today showed that on June 30 there were 49,312 women empolyed here and 74,052 men, the respective per- centages being 40 and 60. In the field the respective figures were 123,421 and 673,525; the percentages, 15.5 and 84.5. In the service as a whole, with a total of 920,310 posi- tions, 81.2 were occupied by men and 188 by women. The commisison said there had been little change in these pro- portions in the last year. Women Lead in Several Agencies. Several agencies employ more women than men. Included in the group are the Civil Service Com- mission, where the respective figures are 997 and 771, and the Home Own- ers’ Loan Corp., where the division is 5,495 and 5,455. The Post Office Department hires most women, 29.358; Treasury is second with 24,- 661, and Agriculture third, 21,575. The report disclosed that 67.7 per cent of the employes in the executive agencies were subject to civil service requirements on June 30. This com- pared to better than 80 per cent be- fore the advent of the New Deal, which set up thousands of exempt positions. Both Groups Increase. Both civil service and non-civil service personnel increased during the fiscal year. The expansion in the classified ranks covered 40.228 positions, most of which were brought under competitive service by executive order. In the non-clas- sifled ranks the increase was 18,168, due principally to seasonal employ- ment in the Department of Agricul- ture. Of the old line agencies, State, Justice. Interior, Agriculture and the General Accounting Office have more non-civil service than civil service positions. The report showed a total of 920,- 310 civil employes in all agencies, of which 747,577, or 812 per cent, were men and 172,733. of 18.8 per cent, women. In the District of Columbia men occupied exactly 60 per cent of the places and women 40; in the field, there was a much greater dif- ference, the percentage of men being 848 to 158 for women. Alumni ol Catholic U. Re-elect C. P. Maloney Charles P. Maloney, president of a concrete company here, was re- elected president of the National Alumni Association of the Catholic University of America at its Golden Jubilee banquet held at the Penn- sylvania Hotel in New York City last night, it was learned here today. Prof. James J. Bowe. head of the university’s mechanical engineering department, was named secretary treasurer, while Dr. Edward McVay of Newark, N. J., became vice presi- dent. More than 500 alumni from 31 States heard Maryland's attorney general, William C. Walsh, trace the 50 years of the university’s history. He recalled that it opened with 42 students and 11 teachers, housed in one building. "Today it has nearly 2,000 students, and 250 professors and instructors,” he said. Declaring that the university “offers no radical suggestions for the solution of human ills,” and that "no Communists or Socialists are on its teaching staffs,” Mr. Walsh con- tended that “tl\e remedy of the ills that beset the world today is to fill the mind and heart of each in- dividual man and woman with the love of God and neighbor.” He said under Catholic education students “are taught that govern- ments exist for the benefit of in- dividuals and that individuals do not exist for the benefit of government.” Invocation was pronounced by the Most Rev. Francis J. Spellman, Archbishop of New York, who was guest of honor. Others attending included the Rev. James T. Higgins of Philadelphia and the Rev. John P. McCaughan of Worcester, Mass., who were both members of the first class to enter the university in 1889. Capt. Francis Cogswell Rites Set Tomorrow Funeral services for Capt. Francis Cogswell, IT. S.

By the AuocUted Preu. The Government refused today

to rent an apartment in Baltimore for a young Navy lieutenant, no matter how small or uncomfortable his boat may be.

Lt. James L. Kemper commands the U. S. 8. Eagle 56, a Reserve training boat which is moored at Baltimore except for weetc end training cruises. The Navy offi- cially regards his job as "shore duty.”

Contending that his rooms were hot, fly-infested and short of hot water, Lt. Kemper asked for a rent allowance.

The Navy referred the question to the General Accounting Office, Which said that for pay purposes Lt. Kemper was “at sea” and could Hot have a shore apartment at Government expense.

Architects Pledge Aid in Government Monopoly Probe

Maginnis Addresses Opening Session of Convention Here

“Fearless” co-operation with the Government in its investigation of charges that monopolistic groups within the building industries have sabotaged national recovery was

promised today by Charles D. Ma- ginnis of Boston, president, of the American Institute of Architects.

“Architects have not been held blameless of failure to find means and methods which would bring con- struction within the costs which would realize the social intent pf the shgn clearance.fcrfljects,” he told del- egates at the opening session of the institute's 71st convention, In the Mayflower Hotel.

He declared that while architects “had grown accustomed to regard the building industry as the chief victim of the economic tragedy,” they must now examine the indictment that "high costs of the industry's la- bor and materials are not only para- lyzing long-term investments, but that these costs are artificially estab- lished and maintained by the indus- try’s selfish groups in defiance of the general interest.” v

Business Upswing Forecast. President Maginnis told reporters

the monopoly investigation to which he is pledging support is that of the Temporary National Economic Com- mittee, which is headed by Senator Joseph C. OMahoney, Democrat, of Wyoming, and Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold.

“Whatever merit lies in the gen- eral complaint may fully develop out of the investigation, but it rests as a public duty on the institute to see that all its implications are fear- lessly examined,” he said. He ex- pressed belief that the current “im- provement” in the construction in- dustry is part of a general upswing in business as a result of Govern- ment stimulation.

Mr. Maginnis asked that the Fed- eral Government, in its building op- erations, make greater use of pri- vate architects—either by direct se- lection or competition. At the same time he urged that more private architects participate in such re- gional competitions as do exist.

“In a recent instance only 10 per cent of the registered architects of the region participated, and the issue unfortunately was not such as to support the contention that pri- vate architects have superior service to offer.” he reriorted.

Two Washingtonians Elected. Speaking of the course to be fol-

lowed by the profession in view of the European war. Mr. Maginnis as- sured the American delegates, to- gether with visitors from more than a dozen foreign nations, that “with confidence that we cherish no nar- row or selfish interest but a great cultural idea, we should hold our course in the belief that man has not lost his soul and that his world will presently come again to sanity.”

Two Washingtonians were among 17 members elected as fellows of the institute. They were William T. Partridge, consulting architect of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, whose home is in Silver Spring, Md., and Francis P. Sullivan of 3320 Randolph place N.W.

Nathan Straus, United States housing administrator, and Everett Uberto Crosby of New York were named honorary members. Henry Martineau Fletcher of London, hon- orary secretary of the Royal In- stitute of British Architects, and Louis Madeline of Paris were chosen honorary corresponding members.

Jean Labatut of Princeton Uni- versity will lecture on “Light and Architecture” at 8:30 o’clock tonight. Tomorrow morning will be occupied with nomination of officers and di- rectors and the report of the Com- mittee on Federal Public Works, to be presented by Charles Butler of New York City. Tomorrow night C. C. Zantzinger of Philadelphia will present the report of the Com- mittee on Education.

Igor Cassini Called As Jury Investigates Tar-Feather Case

Three Fauquier County Men Accused by D. C. Columnist

by a Staff Correspondent of The Star.

WARRENTON, Va., Sept. 25.— Igor Cassini, Washington newspaper columnist, was summoned before a Fauquier County grand jury today to tell of the events of the night of June 25. when he charges he was kidnaped, tarred and feathered by three local men.

The jury was considering a bill of indictment presented to it by Commonwealth Attorney C. W. Carter, in which three are accused of “assault by a mob” on Mr. Cassini. The jury, after hearing testimony by Mr. Cassini and one other wit- ness, must return a true or false bill.

The three men accused of the as- sault on the columnist are Ian and Colin Montgomery, brothers, and Alexander Calvert, all members of families active in hunt country affairs. The accused, who have been free on bond since they sur- rendered following the tar-and- feather incident, were not among the witnesses summoned by the jury.

Seven-man Jury Sworn. With Mr. Cassini. John Taylor, Jr.,

waited to testify this morning. It was at Mr. Taylor's farm, outside of Warrenton, that Mr. Cassini first appeared after his abductors had left him in a lonely wooded spot.

Circuit Judge J. R. H. Alexander swore the seven-man grand jury in this morning. This was its first session since the incident early in the summer. The Cassini case was one of 12 criminal cases presented to the jury.

Mr. Cassini was attending a dance at the Warrenton Country Club on the night he was kidnapped. He was lured outside the country club, he said, thrown into an automobile, beaten and taken to a secluded spot several miles from town.

Others Not Identified. There, he told authorities, his

abductors stripped him, covered him with liquid tar and with feathers and deserted him. They told him they were angry at things he had written in his newspaper column.

He made his way to Mr. Taylor’s home and was brought to the hos- pital here for treatment. He swore out warrants naming the Mont- gomery brothers and Mr. Calvert as members of the band, but has never been able to ascertain the identity of others in the group.

W. C. T. U. Ceremony In honor of. the centenary of

Frances Willard, a dramatic read- ing featuring incidents in her life, will be presented by Katherine Wil- fley Thursday at 7:30 pm. in the E street Y. W. C. A. Mrs. Ellen Russell, vice president of Central Iota Sigma Woman's Christian Tem- perance Union, will preside.

Food Surplus PlansProceed Despile War

Demand Not Expected To Show Much Rise For Several Months

By th* Associated Press.

Agriculture Department officials said today they would go ahead with an expanded distribution of surplus food to the Nation’s relief families despite an expected increase in Eu- ropean- demand for American farm

products. Although war has tended to lighten

the burden of-most agriculture sur- pluses here, they said, the war de- mand is not expected to show much change for several months.

Food Stamps in Six Cities. The Agriculture Department's food

stamp plan for distributing surplus food through regular commercial channels is now operating in six cit- ies—Rochester, N, Y.; Dayton, Ohio; Birmingham, Ala.; Seattle, Wash.; Des Moines, Iowa, and Shawnee Okla. It will be started soon in Springfield, 111. Several dozen other cities are under consideration.

By the time war buying showed any sizable increase, officials said. American production could be ex-

pected to have expanded sufficiently to meet the extra demand in the case of most crops.

The war has caused the Govern- ment to change its mind about dis- tributing rice to relief families, how- ever. Cuba and other Western Hemisphere customers which ord- inarily buy large quantities in the Orient, turned to the United States for supplies. Consequently the sur- plus problem has disappeared.

Lard Is Included. At the same time the department

included lard under its food stamp plan, despite a potential sharp in- crease in European demand.

In the case of some American farm products the surplus situation is expected to be aggravated by the war. Included are some fresh fruits particularly apples, dried fruits and the so-called ‘‘luxury" foods.

Head of St. Elizabeth's Addresses Medical School at G. W.

The present troubled state of the world emphasizes more than ever

before the need of a balanced mind in an unbalanced world, Dr. Win- fred Overholser, superintendent of St Elizabeth's Hospital, told nearly 400 persons, Including 75 new en-

rolles in the George Washington University School of Medicine, who crowded the assembly room today in opening exercises of the school.

Stating that the field of medi- cine will always see peace and satisfaction, the prominent psy- chiatrist cited the need for con-

fidence, intelligence and restraint of emotion.

tions. The new students, six of whom

are women, were asked to make a

study of other than their own art, adding that “today there is too much specializing in medicine.”

Dean Walter A. Bloerdom wel- comed returning students and facul- ty and told of curriculum changes and increased teaching personnel in the School of Medicine. To the new students he said: “The accep- tance of your application you should regard as a prize possession and guard' it most carefully, realizing that the place you occupy has been striven for by at least 10 other ap- plicants.”

Roosevelt Hopes Gold Star Rolls Will Never Increase

Message From President To World War Mothers Assures Peace Efforts

With a message from President Roosevelt expressing hope that the

membership in America’s Gold Star Mothers never would be increased,

approximately 60 mothers who lost sons in the World War gathered in

Arlington National Cemetery yes- terday and placed wreaths on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

“In the present harrowing con- flict,” the President wrote in his message to Gold Star Mothers throughout the country, "we are determined that this Republic, inso- far as lies within the power of its Government, shall remain aloof— honestly and truly neutral. We are determined that there shall be no

augmentation of 'the membership rolls of the Gold Star Mothers.

“I desire to give a pledge to the Gold Star Mothers of the World War that the Government of the United States has every determina- tion that the mothers of this gen- eration will not be called upon to bear the tragic sacrifices which fell to the lot of mothers of youths of military age two decades ago.”

The President’s words were read by Mrs. Matilda Burling of Richmond Hills, N. Y„ national president of the American Gold Star Mothers of the World War.

Mrs. Burling placed a wreath for the national!organization, while an honor guard from the 12th Infantry gave the traditional military cere- mony. Others presented wreaths for various State chapters.

Brief addresses were delivered by Prank L. Packard, past commander of the District Department of the American Legion; Dan Campbell, chairman of the National Employ- ment and Civil Service Committee of the Veterans of Foreign Wars; Dr. W. C. Hess, department com- mander of the Disabled American Veterans, and Miss Frances Brams of Newark, N. J„ national president of the Ladles’ Auxiliary, Jewish War Veterans. The Army Band took part in the program.

In a Gold Star Mother’s day ad- dress broadcast nationally, Senator Walsh of Massachusetts urged these mothers to use their Influence against repeal of the arms embargo. Hie mission of mothers bereaved by the last war, he said, should be to portray "the Irreparable hu- man losses of war."

Transit Workers. Place Wage Pleas Before Arbitration

Merrill Tells Board Boost Is Not Justified By Company Earnings

Wage increases for workers in the transportation department and sev- eral miscellaneous classifications of the Capital Transit Co. and estab- lishment of an approximate eight- hour day were asked today at a hearing before an arbitration board held at Pythian Temple, Ninth street near Massachusetts avenue N.W.

The meeting was called to find a solution for problems which the company and representatives of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employes of America, Di- vision 689, had been unable to solve in negotiations lasting several months.

The board, composed of Walter C. Clephane, neutral member; Charlton Ogbum, employes’ mem- ber, and Edmund L. Jones, for the company, heard opening statements by O. D. Zimring, representing the association, and E. D. Merrill, president of the Capital Transit Co.

Summary of Demands. The association’s demands, sum-

marized by Mr. Zimring, included requests for wage increases from 67 cents to 73 cents per hour for em- ployes engaged in two-man car operation, raises from 74 cents to 83 cents per hoar for one-man op- eration and an increase from the present minimum of 50 cents per hour for shop and equipment main- tenance employes to 60 cents.

Also asked was the establishment of an approximate 8-hour day for transportation employes with the inclusion of an overtime clause and provisions for overtime pay at a rate, of time and a half.

The association also asks for 632.50 per 6-day week minimum for extra men, and protection for vet- eran employes in the company's transition to one-man operation.

The changes, Mr. Zimring de- clared, would be Justified by the increase of group efficiency and the greater value to the industry. He said the association would show that the 74 cent per hour rate paid here is exceeded by companies in 18 other cfties in the same population group as Washington. The cost of living here, he claimed, is one' of the three highest by comparison.

Merrill Opposes Increase. Mr. Merrill said, “The actual hours

of pay-per-day are higher than on most properties resulting from the

i

unusually liberal allowances made by this company for time not worked.”

The cost involved in the pro- posed changes, he declared, would “more than eat up the entire net Income of last year.” The cost to the company he said would involve ad- ditional expenditures amounting to more than *1,000.000.

“At the present time,” he said, “the employes are enjoying earnings which give them the highest pur- chasing power they have ever had.”

The company, he said, will show that the average weekly earnings of these employes stands among the highest of any group in the country. Mr. Merrill pointed out that in addi- tion to the employes, the company was obligated to the more than 2,000 stockholders and investors, and said that no Increase in the wage rate was Justified until the owners of the system have had some return.

40 Pcf. of U. S. Workers Here Are Women

84.5 Per Cent Men Elsewhere, Civil Service Reports

women give men a vigorous battle for Government employment In the District—but they are far outnum- bered elsewhere in the country.

The semi-annual personnel report of the Civil Service Commission today showed that on June 30 there were 49,312 women empolyed here and 74,052 men, the respective per- centages being 40 and 60. In the field the respective figures were 123,421 and 673,525; the percentages, 15.5 and 84.5. In the service as a whole, with a total of 920,310 posi- tions, 81.2 were occupied by men and 188 by women.

The commisison said there had been little change in these pro- portions in the last year. Women Lead in Several Agencies. Several agencies employ more

women than men. Included in the group are the Civil Service Com- mission, where the respective figures are 997 and 771, and the Home Own- ers’ Loan Corp., where the division is 5,495 and 5,455. The Post Office Department hires most women, 29.358; Treasury is second with 24,- 661, and Agriculture third, 21,575.

The report disclosed that 67.7 per cent of the employes in the executive agencies were subject to civil service requirements on June 30. This com- pared to better than 80 per cent be- fore the advent of the New Deal, which set up thousands of exempt positions.

Both Groups Increase. Both civil service and non-civil

service personnel increased during the fiscal year. The expansion in the classified ranks covered 40.228 positions, most of which were brought under competitive service by executive order. In the non-clas- sifled ranks the increase was 18,168, due principally to seasonal employ- ment in the Department of Agricul- ture.

Of the old line agencies, State, Justice. Interior, Agriculture and the General Accounting Office have more non-civil service than civil service positions.

The report showed a total of 920,- 310 civil employes in all agencies, of which 747,577, or 812 per cent, were men and 172,733. of 18.8 per cent, women. In the District of Columbia men occupied exactly 60 per cent of the places and women 40; in the field, there was a much greater dif- ference, the percentage of men being 848 to 158 for women.

Alumni ol Catholic U. Re-elect C. P. Maloney

Charles P. Maloney, president of a concrete company here, was re- elected president of the National Alumni Association of the Catholic University of America at its Golden Jubilee banquet held at the Penn- sylvania Hotel in New York City last night, it was learned here today. Prof. James J. Bowe. head of the university’s mechanical engineering department, was named secretary treasurer, while Dr. Edward McVay of Newark, N. J., became vice presi- dent.

More than 500 alumni from 31 States heard Maryland's attorney general, William C. Walsh, trace the 50 years of the university’s history. He recalled that it opened with 42 students and 11 teachers, housed in one building. "Today it has nearly 2,000 students, and 250 professors and instructors,” he said.

Declaring that the university “offers no radical suggestions for the solution of human ills,” and that "no Communists or Socialists are on its teaching staffs,” Mr. Walsh con- tended that “tl\e remedy of the ills that beset the world today is to fill the mind and heart of each in- dividual man and woman with the love of God and neighbor.”

He said under Catholic education students “are taught that govern- ments exist for the benefit of in- dividuals and that individuals do not exist for the benefit of government.”

Invocation was pronounced by the Most Rev. Francis J. Spellman, Archbishop of New York, who was guest of honor. Others attending included the Rev. James T. Higgins of Philadelphia and the Rev. John P. McCaughan of Worcester, Mass., who were both members of the first class to enter the university in 1889.
