TRANSIENTS CLEAR " BELTSVILLE FARM 482 Are Preparing Site for Workers’ Camp—More Will Be Sent. First definite action toward employ- iment of relief clients to improve the experimental farm of the United Btates Department of Agriculture at Beltsville, Md., was taken today when 482 transients were sent to the farm ©n a special work train to begin clear- fng a site for a workers’ camp. Commissioner George E. Allen, W. P. A, and relief director for the District, announced the departure of the transients and said the force would be augmented as the men ap- peared ready for work. Food will be sent to the workers from the Transient Rellef Bureau at noon to- day and each day until the camp site is cleared and quarters can be provided. Meanwhile, the work train will carry the men back and forth between the city and the farm. Station to Be Increased. Eventually, after tae camp has been set up, the men will be employed in clearing new acrcage to increase the size of the experimertal station from 5,500 to 9,000 acres. The land has already been acquired and the De- partment of Agriculture plans to build a model village there to house the workers on the improved and modern- ized experiment project. At the same time, Commissioner Allen said a number of cases were found over the week end in which families or individuals were given supplemental relief, through food or- ders, after they had heen transferred from direct relief to the nev W. P. A. Jobs set-up. The cases were found as the result of a complaint by a committee of colored men who had been trans- ferred from the old direct relief rolls. Their complaint was that their names had been removed from the relief rolls too soon after their transier to jobs | and that their checks were too small | to care for their needs. Stay Longer on Aid Rolls. Allen explained that men trans- ferred thus are to be kept on the direct relief rolls until they can receive a full half-month pay check. The pay dates are to be the 5th and 20th of each month. Under the practice to date, however, W. P. A. workers have been taken off the direct lists after working for only three days. A full report on the cases en- countered over the week end had not been received by the Commissioner today, but he said he was satisfled that there “will always be a certain number of cases” in which supple- mental relief will be necessary. The Commissioner again today cut red tape in order to put transients to work at Beltsville. The regulations declare that the men employed are to be cleared through the United States Employment Service, but whe officials of the employment agency could not be reached Saturday night | and Sunday, he instructed William C. Cleary, assistant deputy works ad- | ministrator, to go ahead and arrange for the men to begin work today. 300 Wait at 6 A.M. Cleary said that more than 300 of the 482 in the first contingent were waiting at Union Station to catch the train at 6 am. today although the train did not leave until 45 minutes later, Eventually it is expected that close to 1,600 men will be given W. P. A. | Jobs at Beltsville. That number of transients has been about the average cared for in the city by the Transient | Bureau until it was abolished last month. The construction camp there | probably will be built with a capacity | close to that number and when the buildings have been erected the trans- portation to and from Washington will be discontinued. Highest Court Far Beyond Old Garb Tradition Emergency Coat of Past Worn by Many Lawyers. By the Associated Press. HOSE long familiar with the austere dignity of the Supreme Court arched their eyebrows when the chairs used by the Jjustices in the.court’s old chamber in the Capitol were moved to that magnificent pile of marble “across the hill” and set up in their accus- tomed places. Not until Mr. Justice Cardozo re- marked that the chair in which the late Justice Holmes sat for 20 years was comfortable enough for him, could they understand. There was a time—and it hasn't been.so long ago—when a justice ap- peared on the bench wearing a bright-hued tie, and later made a formal call at the White House still wearing it. Wags around the Capital made much of it. - But today a red tie in the Supreme Court is nothing unusual. Formality in dress is passing rapidly. The dig- nified black no longer is required. The justices as a rule wear dark clothes, and there is an increasing tendency among lawyers of experi- ence never to appear for argument except in the black cutaway, striped trousers, dark cravat 'and tall white collar. But it is a matter of choice. Court functionaries—baliliff, mar- shal, clerk, crier and others—always are formally garbed. And the care- less visitor who dares hang an over- coat over the rail of a vacant seat in front of him quickly hears a voice in authority muttering a demand that he remove it. It's a matter of record that at one time an eccentric, who never had worn a collar or tie, almost succeeded in pleading a case so attired. He was induced by court attaches to break a lifelong habit just before entering the chamber. There was a time, however, whea formal attire absolutely was required. The late Chief Justice Taft once curtly rebuked an attorney and ordered him the court in a sack suit, without a vest and with coat open, displaying an ex- panse of expensive shirt fronting. In those days, an emergency ward- robe was kept on hand at the court. | A medium - sized tail coat—which seemed to fit every one—was avail- | able to any lawyer who came sartori- ally unprepared. Collars of assorted sizes and a black tie or two made up the equipment stowed in a closet in the clerk’s office. The coat, & “garment antique and | rusty” with braided edges and an im- | pressive flare below the waistline, fig- ured in many an imposing argument before that grave anc austere tri- | bunal. It was worn by many a lawyer | who later became wealthy and famous. But its day has passed. The last heard of the coat was that it draped the form of a dark-hued citizen of ashington whenever he appeared on | ceremonial occasions.

Criticism of Postmaster General Farley for restricting the sales activi- ties of blind vencors in post offices was heard today as the National Rehabili- tation Association opened its tenth annual convention at the Wardman Park Hotel. » About 300 delegates, representing Federal, State, municipal and private agencies engaged in rehabilitation work, attended the morning session, at which an appeal was made to map out d set of prirciples to guide the most effective work in reclaiming the phys- WASHINGTON, ically unfit and placing them in gain- During a general discussion of ways to meet the demand for vocational guidance, Willlam F. Fox, Wisconsin superintendent of rehabilitation, called upon the conference to interest itself in behalf of these blind vendors, who depend for a livelihood on their sales in the post office buildings. Fox asserted the Postmaster Gen- eral had imposed a policy which per- mits these blind persons to sell only newspapers and magazines on Post Office premises. “Because of this pol- icy, they can’t make a living,” he claimed. The Wisconsin official declared he saw no reason why Farley should not permit these blind men to sell can- dies, cigars and tobacco so-as to in- crease their sales. The Washington Post Office, he said, only permits them to sell newspapers and maga- zines, and this condition applies gen- erally. Fox urged a resolution calling upon Farley to give them the benefit of more Hberal rules be adopted by the association. Oscar Chapmarn, Assistant Secre- JUNIORS!

Abandoning the attitude of a sup- pliant, a woman dropped from the re- lef rolls Friday today asked the Dis- trict Supreme Court to compel Fed- eral Relief Administrator Hopkins and District Commissioner George E. Allen to reinstate her. ‘The petition, filed by Helen Cage of 717 Third street, stated that Congress appropriated funds for the care of the needy and that Federal and local re- lief administrators must use this money for relief. The court was told more than 50 other women have been dropped from the local relief rolls. Asserting the $6.25 per week she has received for the past year is inade- quate for her support, she asked that Hopkins and Allen be ordered to grant her a greater degree of relief. F STREET them!
