The justices of the Sapreme Court today took under consideration an ap- peal filed to test the right of Govern- ment employes to serve on criminal Juries here. Their desicion, expected early in November, will be of great importance | to Washington, since it will decide the eligibility as jurors of some 100,000 | i Federal workers, Government counsel | pointed out in their arguments that | officials in the District heretofore have experienced difficulty.in securing com- petent jurors because of the disqualifi- cation of Government employes. The appeal grew out of the convic- tion in Police Court -of Raymond ‘Wood on petty larceny charges. Un- der authority of a law passed last year by Congress, the trial judge per- mitted several Federal employes to sit on the jury. Wood appealed, contending he had been deprived of his constitutional right to a trial by an impartial jury since the Government employes might be influenced by the fact that their | employer—the United States—was a | party to the case. The United States Court of Appeals | agreed with Wood and reversed the conviction, The Government, through ' Assistant Attorney General Brien McMahon, earried the case to the Supreme Court, where Wood was rep- | resented by Attorneys William E. Leahy and Robert I. Miller. W. P. A. PAY CHARGE | REVISED BY 6. 0. P. Republican Committee Denies Publicity Intended to Hint Double Salary Lists. BY the Associated Press. | The Republican National Committee tssued a denial today that its Nation- wide publicity release of September 21, naming 20 New Jersey W. P. A. work- | ers as participating in “pay roll pad- ding,” had charged that these em-| ployes were carried on two pay rolls. The release was intended to say, a | gpokesman for the committee declared, | that the workers were paid out of a| project pay roll while listed as admin- istrative employes and that the effect of this was to make the cost of relief work appear higher than it actually is and the cost of administering such work much lower than it is. 1. V. Davis of Newark, attorney re- tained by the New Jersey workers, who have demanded a retraction from the Republican National Committee, said he would not accept the reinter- pretation of “pay roll padding” as an exoneration of his clients in lieu of the demanded retraction. William H. J. Ely, W. P. A. admin- istrator for New Jersey, said the com- mittee's statement “appears designed to imply deception in the transfer of | the 20 workers from administrative to MRS.
