U. $. SALARY PAID TO WIFE OF FESS' SON She’s One of His Several ‘Secretaries,’ but She Lives in Toledo. F.V RAYMOND CLAPPER 1 mud fmi Staff Corroondnt tCotnrritht. 1#32. bv United Praw WASHINGTON. May 3.—Being not only a United States senator but also chairman of the Republican national committee. Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio is a very busy man indeed. That is why he must have secretaries scattered around in various places. He has several in his senatorial office on Capitol hill. He has others in his Republican national committee headquarters downtown—but here the taxpayer gets a break, because these are not on the government pay roll. Senator Few also has his daugh-ter-in-law doing "clerical work” in her home in Toledo. O—at $2,250 a year, government money. Dorothy Fess is listed in the official congressional directory as one of the assistant clerks of the senate library committee of which her lather-in-law is chairman. Fess Is Not Unique Her address is given in this directory—issued last January—as the Carlton hotel here. But when it was tried to reach her at the Carlton, the desk clerk reported that Senator Fess lived there, but that he couldn’t recall any one named Dorothy Fess. She lives with her husband. Lehr Fess. a lawyer in Toledo and former parliamentarian of the house of representatives here when his father was in that branch. Senator Fess is not singled out as unique in doing this. The practice is common in both houses and in both parties. The senate Democratic leader has a brother-in-law. the. president of a bank in Little Rock. Ark., on the senate pay roll. Garner’s Son on Pay Roll Speaker Garner has his son on the pay roll to represent him in Uvalde. Tex. Representative Henry T. Rainey, house Democratic leader, may, as he did in an interview last week, condemn this practice as a means of building political fences back home at government expense. But he is assailing a practice that rapidly is growing in favor here. Various forms of the family pay roll racket are worked in congress: The pin money which congressmen's w'ives draw as clerks for work some of them never do. The college boys and girls who draw pay from the house and senate pay rolls. The aged relatives and the unsuccessful in-laws. The political heelers back home taken care of at government expense. But, the United Press has discovered no indication that congressmen feel conscience-stricken in face of the unemployment situation which has become increasingly acute in many sections. •Hives and Children First” "Wives and children first" is a popular rule in the congressmen s code. Perhaps 50 to 60 per cent of the members practice it, regarding it as a vested right. It is one of the first things the new' congressman is tipped off to by older members when he arrives here. . j . That is why the house voted down two to one— but without a record vote—the attempt of Representative Grant E. Mouser 'Rep.. O.) to include in the omnibus economy bill a provision against employment of absentee relatives. There is a classic story here of n middle-western congressman who died a few years ago. He had his wife on the pay roll. She got a divorce. Did he strike her off the pay roll? No. He gave her the clerk hire as alimony.

JEFFREY GIVEN ‘GO AHEAD' SIGN ON DALE CASE District Attorney Receives Permission of Chiefs to Push Trial. BY WALKER STONE Time* Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 3.—When District Attorney George Jeffrey was in Washington last week he received the consent of Assistant At-torney-General Youngquist to proceed with prosecution of Mayor George Dale and several other Muncie city officials charged with conspiracy to violate liquor laws. While he was here Jeffrey denied that he had come to discuss the Muncie case, but it was learned today that he came for the purpose of persuading Youngquist that there was no substance to Dale's charges of a •‘frameup.’’ and that Youngquist did assent to an immediate trial. Youngquist has examined a memorandum left him by Dale at a hearing granted upon the request of Senator James E. Watson. After checking the memorandum with the counts in the conspiracy indictment, it was said. Youngquist wrote to Jeffrey, saying that he did not exactly like the complexion of the Dale case. Jeffrey then asked for permission to come to Washington and see Youngquist personally. When he arrived, the case was thrashed out in Youngquist’s office, with the result that Youngquist agreed to allow Jeffrey to proceed despite certain misgivings as to the character of the evidence. It was said here today that the agreement to go ahead with the trial was only tentative. However, it was known that Youngquist has taken no steps

to find out the true facts in the Dale case, except to exchange letters and confer with Jeffrey. Dale had asked Youngquist to conduct an investigation independent of Jeffrey's office. The mayor told Youngquist that he believed Jeffrey had been deceived by prohibition agents who conspired with enemies of his city administration in Muncie and trumped up fake charges and evidence.
