WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-(P)-Say-
ing it was convinced the removal of
all political consideration in the ap-
pointment of postmasters -would ef-
fect an economy, the Civil Service
Commission recommended to Presi-
dent Roosevelt today the placing of
all first, second and third class post-
masterships under civil service law.
The commission made the recom-
mendation in its annual report, re-
newing a proposal made for a num-
ber of years, and at the same time
expressing the opinion that other
administrative offices which are not
policy-determing should be brought
within the competitive classified .serv-
ice.
These would include collectors of
customs and collectors of internal
revenue, as well as deputy collectors
of internal revenue, deputy mar-
shals and most attorneys. It noted
the President recently requested the
Postmaster General to draft a bill
to provide for appointing of the post-
masters of the three classes under
civil service ashthe fourth classpost-
masters now are appointed.
"The chief real duty of the Post
Office Department is to collect and
distribute the mails satisfactorily
and at the lowest possible cost," said
the commission.
"A postmastership, therefore, is a
business office and is not properly po-
litical. The commission believes the
most practical way of bringing these
postmasterships within the competi-
tive classified service would be to
set by law a definite date, say a num-
ber of. years hence, after which all
offices of postmaster would be filled
through open competition or pro-
motion under the civil service law
and rules.
"In the opinion of the "commis-
sion, the law should provide that in-
cumbents are not to be brought into
the competitive classified service with
their offices. The change would ne-
cessitate the repeal of existing laws,
which provide for four-year terms
and confirmation by the Senate.
Promotion of worthy subordinates
to these higher offices would aid in
the effort to make the Federal civil
service more attractive as a career."

1936 election. He said he would be
receptive to a possible union of
Farmer-Labor Party adherents with
the Socialist Party.
Mr. Thomas praised the Roosevelt
Administration for its "realization
that laissez-faire capitalism is dead"
and for the vital Section 7-A of the
National Industrial Recovery Act,
which gives labor the right to choose
its own representatives for collective
bargaining with the employing class.
The most pernicious feature of the
nine-month-old Roosevelt tenure, ac-
cording to Mr. Thomas, is the "fail-
ure to seize the opportunity to na-
tionalize the banks when they were
thrown into the Administration's
lap." The abysmal failure of the
London Economic Conference was
also ascribed by the Socialist leader
to a diplomatic blunder on the part
of President Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, Jan 5. - (P) -+
Laws to broaden the Federal Gov-
ernment's anti-crime powers through
regulation of the firearms traffic and
prevention of interstate transporta-
tion of stolen property will be asked
of Congress by Atty.-Gen. Homer S.
Cummings.
In his annual report to Congress
today, Cummings said:
"Suitable bills and supporting
memoranda will be prepared and
made available to the appropriate
committees.
"Amongst these measures may be
mentioned: Regulation of traffic in
machine guns and frearms; prison
escapes, including complicity of pris-
on officers or employes; resisting and
killing of a Federal officer; interstate
transportation of stolen property;
simplification of removal proceed-
ings; escape from lawful custody
while awaiting trial; waiver of in-
dictment in grand jury in certain
criminal cases; and regulation of
alibi defenses.
Asks Law Enactment
"Congress should also give serious
consideration to the enactment of
laws providing for uniformity of
practice and procedure in proceed-
ings involving the acquisition of
land by the Federal Government."
Cummings did not give additional
details about the legislation he had
in mind. It is known, though, that
his aides would like to obtain an ex-
pansion of the Dyer Act, which
makes interstate transportation of
stolen automobiles a Federal offense.
They feel, too, that extradition
proceedings now are so involved in
some instances as to delay, if not
hamper justice..- There has been
considerable discussion also of re-
quiring attorneys who plan an alibi
Discuss Status Of
MilitaryOb jectors
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 5.- (/P)-
The status of five students who.
would rather be dismissed than par-
ticipate in compulsory military train-
ing at Ohio State University became
a mystery today, as a city-wide con-
troversy raged about them.
The only definite information
from an authoritative source came
from J. L. Morrill, vice-president of
the university, and a member of
President George W. Rightmire's
committee on conscientious objectors.
Said Morrill:
"Obviously, there is but one course
for the president to take -- dismis-
sal."
Dr. Rightmire was unavailable for
comment, but previously, on receipt
of letters from the five adamant stu-
dents, he had said their attitude left
"but one possible course."
defense to submit their contentions
to the prosecution before the trial.
Plans Suggested
Various firearm control plans have
been advocated, among them one by
Senator Royal S. Copeland (Dem.),
New York, chairman of the Senate
Crime Investigating Committee, un-
der w h i c h machine-gun dealers
would be licensed and Federal rec-
ords kept of scratches left on bullets
fired from each weapon. Those rec-
ords, it is argued, would permit fu-
ture positive identification of the
firearm from which any bullet was
fired.
Included in Cumming;s' report were
statements by heads of sundry Jus-
tice Department agencies, among
them one from Pat Malloy, resigned
assistant attorney- general in charge
of the criminal division, whose place
has been taken by Joseph B. Keenan.
Malloy said:
"It has been the policy to assist
state authorities in every manne'
possible. Marked progress has been
made in this connection with so-
called 'racketeering' and 'gangster'
cases, as well as those involving kid-
naping and extortion."

Second Adventure During
Month For Mail Pilot
Dean W. Burford
NEWARK, N. J., Jan. 5. - (R') -
Dean W. Burford wrote another
thriller of the night skies early today
when he brought his mail plane
safely down at Newark Airport after
being storm-bound more than four
hours.
It was his second air adventure
within a month. Dec. 11 he bailed out
of a mail plane over Cambria County,
Pennsylvania, when his plane was
caught in a terrific snowstorm.
Burford took off from the airport
at 12:03 a. m. with avaluable mail
cargo bound for Pittsburgh. Forty-
five minutes later he advised the field
by radiophone that his wings were
coating with ice and that he was ex-
periencing "great difficulty."
Heavy fog had settled over Newark
and a sleet and rain fall began.
The radiophone went suddenly si-
lent, and ground officials expressed
alarm, fearing that Burford, a vet-
eran pilot, might have lost his way
in the black, fog-choked skies.
Several New Jersey communities
reported hearing a plane's motor, and
efforts were made to resume com-
munication with Burford to guide
him to a landing field.
Communication was restored at
3:15 a. m., at which time Burford
said he had sufficient gas to remain
aloft seven hours, and that he would
remain in the vicinity of the field
until an opportunity to attempt a
landing presented itself.
He landed at 4:40 a. m.
Burford, whose home is Columbus,
O., was one of two pilots who took
to their parachutes the morning of
Dec. 11 when their planes were
caught in an Allegheny snowstorm.
He landed unhurt, floating down
gently while the $35,000 plane
crashed and was wrecked. A cargo
which included a shipment of dia-
monds valued at $75,000 was sal-
vaged.
Ask Detroit Council For
Opinion On City's Cafes
LANSING, Jan. 5.-(P)---The
State Liquor Control Commission
Thursday asked the Detroit Common
Council for a recommendation as to
the number of places to serve hard
liquor by the glass in the Detroit
metropolitan area.
Under the law, Detroit may have
as many as 2,093 glass-sale estab-
lishments. Chairman Frank A. Pic-
ard, of the commission, said he hoped
that the maximum would not exceed
500.
