aheacfc ana the sinking sensation of dismay when a dark Horse spurts into the lead. Those who are to see the American classic for the first time have had their enthusiasm whetted by the vivid descriptions of their friends who have gone before. Harry Woodring, assistant Secretary of War, and Mrs. Woodring were expected to arrive today to be guests of Gov. and Mrs. McNutt. The McNutts and Woodrings are to be joined by Mr. and Mrs. Kemper Williams, New Orleans. Mr. Williams is a friend of long standing, having been best man at the McNutts’ wedding. Gov.

‘Spoils System’ Is Hit as Menace by League of Voters Convention .Women Favor Funds for Education, Consolidation of School Districts, Old Ag-e Pensions, and Unemployment Insurance. By United Prese CINCINNATI, May I.—A sweeping denunciation of the “spoils system” as a real and active menace to good government in the United States has been made by the National League of Women Voters in convention here. Linked with the arraignment was an unequivocal pledge to use the full force of the league in unremitting and uncompromising warfare against the bartering of patronage for votes. The league recommended a trained personnel in government with individual and group rewards
for merit as embodied in the civil service. In submitting the proposed policy, Mrs. George Gellhorn, St. Louis, chairman of the committee drafting the policy, and a leader for many years in the movement to obtain proportional representation voting for St. Louis, declared: “This is the time for the electorate to speak, and for the politicians to hear.” Ask Expansion of Civil Service The League’s plan of action was incorporated in a five-point program. Significant among the points was the allocation of SSOO of League funds for any special expenditures necessitated by the campaign. The League also adopted four additional items to be emphasized in its work during the ensuing two years: 1. Apportionment of public funds for adequate and scientific public education. 2. Expansion of school districts to lower administrative costs and raise standards of efficiency. 3. Old age pensions, unemployment insurance, and child-help measures. 4. Downward revision of tariffs by reciprocal trade agreements. Tariff Plank Debated The first three measures were approved with a minimum of debate, but arguments arose on the floor when the fourth was proposed and Mrs. Robert A. Taft, Cincinnati, nominee for treasurer of the League, called for expressions of opinion. As delegates complied with Mrs. Taft’s suggestion it became apparent that a large bloc was apprehensive that any tampering with the tariff might become involved with partisan politics. Henry F. Grady, chief of the division of trade agreements in the Department of State, a guest at the session following his address before the convention, was called upon for
MAY 1, 1936
a clarification of the attitude of th® administrative officials. Specifically, Grady was asked to answer the question of whether there was any provision for bi-parti-san representation on the committee formulating the reciprocal agreements. Grady replied that there was no question of party affiliation in th® selection of members of the interdepartmental committee formulating the policy. Each was selected, he said, because of his qualifications as an expert. He was confident, Grady said, that no department head or President would debase this custom of selecting career men for their fitness by substituting party affiliation as a qualification for appointment. The League voted to recommend to the major political parties that a plank be incorporated in national platforms calling for an expansion of civil service in Federal government. A proposal that the League indorse the St. Lawrence Waterway project was voted down.
