Restoration of annual leave for Government employes to 30 days and sick leave to 15 days, accumulative in both instances and to be uniform throughout the entire Federal service, except as applying to certain postal employes, was considered at a hearing today before the House Civil Service | Committee. This hearing will be con- tinued tomorrow. Luther C. Steward, president of the National Federation of Federal Em- ployes, indorsed both bills and, in re- sponse to suggestions from certain groups of employes, offered an amend- ment to safeguard the employes in their required hours of labor. The Ramspeck bill providing for annual leave of 30 days would call for publication by each department or !unit of the Government of the hours | of work required daily and with equiv- alent time for any overtime to be added to the annual leave. Mr. Steward suggested that there should be safe- guarding language to prevent any in- crease over the present hours to be inserted in such a schedule. The pending bill would exclude spe- cifically postal employes except those in the departmental service in Wash- ington and in the custodial force. William J. Collins, representing em- | ployes of the railway mail service, and Gilbert Hyatt, representing the National Federation of Post Office | Clerks, approved that section of the ! bill excluding the postal workers. However, Edward J. Gainor, represent- 1pg the national organization of let- | ter earriers, urged the committee to include all branches of postal workers under the bill.

Began as Reporter, Irvin Cobb was born down there in Kentucky, at Paducah, “In my youth,” he says, “I was the younger Bohemian set of Paducah.” He began his jour- nalistic career in his home town, porting on the local papers, and writ- ing for comic weeklies on the side, and by the time he was 19 had become the editor of the Paducah News. But like many a small-town boy he had his eyes on New York. He packed up and went. A funny letter to all the New York | editors of daily papers ended a long search for work by landing him a job on the Evening Sun. A break gave him a murder story that got him a better position on another paper, and a first-class job of reporting at the Russo-Japanese Conference at Ports- mouth, N. H, set him definitely on the way up in newspaperdom. He acknowledges the fact that he has plenty of superstitions, having been reared in the South. His people thought he should follow the law, but STAR, OPANS |Latest Short Story by Cobb Appears in This W eek Sunday IRVIN COBB. he started out in life to draw pic- tures, His hobby is collecting Indian relics and trophies.
