APPROVAL

Bill to Ban Fireworks

OF MERIT SETUP Sale to Children Gets IN EIGHT STATES '0.K. From House Group

Civil Service Unit Reports. As ‘Senators Study Indiana Bill.

: While . Senate Committee was considering a bill to put skilled em- ~ ployees of State institutions on a merit basis; the Civil Service Assem- ; bly issued a report today showing that Governors of eight states commended such a system in their legislative addresses this month. The mierit bill introduced yesterday in the upper House by Senators > Eugene J. Payton (D. South Bend) and I. Floyd Garrott (R. Battle Ground) would remove the Goverfior’s power of appointment over the personnel of the 19 institutions

and set up a merit system for near-|

ly 5000 employees. 4t would repeal that section of the 1933 Reorganization Act which places the control of the institutions under the Governor and would put all the employees under the jurisdiction of the State Welfare Department, Lehman Favors Plan

State chief executives who have gone on record in favor of the merit plan include Governors Raymond E. Baldwin of Connecticut, Henry Horner of Illinois, A. Harry Moore of New Jersey, Herbert H. Lehman of New York, Frank D. Fitzgerald of Michigan, Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota, Francis P. Murphy of New Hampshire and William H. Vanderbilt of Rhode Island. Governor Baldwin of Connecticut said “the spoils system is an undesirable and unnecessary by-product of our political life. Public spirited citizens demand the recognition of merit. in the selection of public servants and . . . it may prove wise to enact an amendment to the State Constitution providing for the principle of appointment of public servants. on a basis of merit.” Governor Horner of Illinois said “the Civil Service Commission has progressed far in its reclassification of the State service . .. and the integrity of that performance has earned universal commendation.”

‘Found High Degree . .’

In his first annual message to the Legislature, Governor Moore of New Jersey said: : “I have found a high degree of devotion to public interest and a high level of devotion, capacity and industry among the classified employees in all departments . . . New Jersey now is operating under a ‘merit system. Governor Lehman of New York told the Legislature that “an allimportant cog in the machinery of good and efficient government is civil service . . . our aim has been and will be to strengthen and extend civil service.” Governor Fitzgerald of Michigan said “I believe firmly in the merit system in state government ...I shall oppose vigorously any attempt. to.undermine the principle of civil sefvice. » ‘Raise Standards . .

Minnesota's -Governor said: “One of our first and most important problems is to raise the standards of public service and to improve the morale of state govern- ~ ment ... I would recommend to you corhplete competitive examinations of all employees.” Governor Murphy of New Hampshire said: “There is a great need * for a law ‘which will classify wages and hours and establish suitable standards of working conditions throughout the State Government which will insure equality of opportunity to all citizens seeking employment and advancement in the public service.” Governor Vanderbilt of Rhode Island said: “I believe that a properly designed and operated civil service law, based on the merit system with competitive examinations, is the keystone of good government , , ,”

DREAM WALKING? WELL, NOT QUITE!

GREENFIELD, O., Jan. 31 (U.P). -—A dream, John Holland explained today, caused him to shoot himself. Mr. Holland, a 64-year-old cobbler, said he dreamed that his heart was paining and that there

was & “machine” at his bedside which would stop the pain. The

Stassen

sound of a shot awakened him at}

this point. Mr. Holland was found an hour later by friends who forced their way into his room when they missed him. Dr. Albert Borreson said Mr. Holland had a fair chance of recovering from the wound in the left lung.

| Measure Is Amended to Delay Enactment Until After July 4.

A bill to prohibit the sale of fireworks to children was to be reported favorably to the floor of the House today by the Criminal Codes Committee. The measure, given the committee’s sanction yesterday afternoon, was amended to remove the emergency clause; thereby preventing its going into effect until after July 4, 1939. A debate arose over this amendment and Rep. J. Chester Allen (D. South’ Bend) said it would force him to sign a minority report.

3 Children Injured

“In St. Joseph County there were three children injured fatally by fireworks last year.” he said. “If we are to stop these bloody Fourths, let’s make the law take effect immediately. Why should there be one more?” The majority of the committee voted for the change after retailers protested that they had stock on hand that they would be unable to dispose of if the law went into effect immediately. Another amendment added to the measure would place the regulation of public display fireworks under jurisdiction of police and fire chiefs and sheriffs. A similar House fireworks bill was held by the committee.

Teacher Pension Plan Due in Senate

The Senate Education Committee this! afternoon was to consider the controversial measure to place the present teachers’ pension system on a “pay-as-you-go” basis. The bill also would increase the present pension of $700 after 40 years of service to $960 for 35 years of service. At the Commitee’s first consideration of the bill yesterday afternoon, Senator Walter S. Chambers (D. New Castle), its author, said his plan would permit a reduction of the State retirement fund rate trom 2.4 cents to 1 cent. The bill also would put’ disability payments on an an-| nuity basis.

Oklahoma Governor Leaves, _ Teaching ‘Purge’ to ~ College Heads.

Times Special OKLAHOMA CITY, Jan. 31.—In the face of strong criticism, Governor Leon C. Phillips today softened his blasts at “Communistteaching” professors in the state's two largest universities and laid the burden of “investigating and firing” upon the university presidents. Educators and civil liberties defenders were aroused by the Governor’s announcement Saturday that he had evidence that “more than a half dozen faculty members” at Oklahoma University and Oklahoma, A. & M. College had been teaching communism. He said he wanted them “fired right away,” and indicated that no open hearing was necessary.
