BILL ATTACKS . RELATIVES ON U. S. PAY ROLL Congress Leaders Are Likely to Order Death for Blow at Nepotism. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER t'liiW Pm Staff Cnrr*pon<tnt <Coovrt*ht. 1932, by Tinned PreM WASHINGTON, May 4—House leaders are expected to order a “lingering death” in committee for the bill introduced by Representative J. R. Mitchell <Dem., Tenn.), to end the widespread practice of senators and representatives carrying wives, children and other relatives on the congressional pay roll. Speaker .John N. Garner and Democratic Leader Henry T. Rainey are against dealing with this practice by legislation. The bill prohibits any member of congress employing a close relative or the relative of another member. The latter provision is intended to prevent congressmen trading wives or children for pay roll purposes. Garner, in discussing this legislation, took the poaition that a secretary is a confidential employe, and that no restrictions should be placed on the member in selection of his personal staff. “Hideous Monster of Nepotism” Rainey said it was a matter for the individual conscience of the member. Mitchell accompanied his bill with a vigorous denunciation of what he described as the “hideous monster of nepotism.” He challenged members to make an issue of this practice in the coming election, and denounced the secrecy which surrounds the congressional pay roll as “prima facie evidence of fraud, crookedness and corruption of the rankest kind.” This is the second effort in the house to deal with the question. Last week Representative Grant E. Mouser <Rep., O.) moved to amend the economy measure to strike off relatives who did no work. He was overwhelmed under a 2-to-l vote. The question has become a matter of acute cloakroom discussion as ihe result of publication of numerous specific instances involving some of the most prominent leaders of congress. Causes Suspicion, pistrost "It is no surprise, that a taxridden people should look on congress with suspicion and distrust so long as members themselves insist upon engaging in a species of graft and racketeering by practicing nepotism.” Mitchell said in a statement accompanying his bill. He described the allowances of congressmen, which, in addition to a salary of SIO,OOO a year, include $125 for stationery, 40 cents per mile travel pay for the distance from the member's homes to the capital, and $5,000 a year for clerk hire, which he may spend without restriction except that no appointee mav draw more than $3,900 a year. Mare than half of the congressmen, it is estimated, put relatives into these clerkships. Most offices can run with one clerk, so that the remainder of the money is, in many instances, drawn by some member of the family. Auto Death Charge Dismissed Charge of manslaughter against Robert Ramsey, 32. of 5058 West Fourteenth street, in connection with the traffic death. March 24, of Vencil Batic. 50. Brownsburg hitchhiker was dismissed Tuesday in municipal court. Ramsey s automobile was struck by another car while Batic was a passenger, injuring the latter critically.

Don’t ‘Baby In’ It’s Not Sportsmanlike in National Marble Tourney.

BY JOHN JEFFRIES National Marble Chamaton I DON'T think 111 have to say much about “babying in.” The name itself is enough to make a real marble champion shudder! Thev tell me that some years ago. when “Dutch” Robbins of Springfield, Mass., and “Fatty” Harper of Bevior. Ky. : were national champions, a number of players who weren’t as good as some of the others, tried to get a big advantage by "babying in.” These players would roll their shooters to the center of the ring. Then when their next turn came, they would be right on top of the

mi os. This wasn't very fair for the fellow who was shooting from the ring's edge. So they made a rule in Ringer. which says that if another player knocks your shooter from the ring, you are “killed” out of the game. Oh. Boy! Maybe you don’t think the 'baby in” boys didn't get it in the neck! A sure shot shooter

would “kill” them out every time. Since then there hasn't been much “babying in.” You'll never find it at the national finals at Ocean City, N. J. It Just isn't done, that's all. Don't he a “fraidy cat" or a “sissy.” It might help you in the early part of the tournament, but later on. when you're up against real players, you won't have a chance. Knuckle down at the ring's edge and shoot like a man! Next: I'm going to tell yo shout angle shots and, believe me. they’re Important.
