MARRAGECLALSE REPEALIS ASKE McKellar Again Proposes | Old Economy Provision Be Ended. Repeal of the married persons clause | of the old government economy pro- | gram, which has been debated for sev- | eral years without action, was pro-| posed in the Senate again late yester- | day by Senator McKellar, Democrat, of Tennessee. Enacted as part of the retrenchment program at the height of the depres- sion, it provides that whenever a re-| duction in personnel is beirlg made in any Government bureau, married per- | sons must be let out first if their hus- | bands or wives also are employed in some branch of the Government. Senator McKellar said he has been | opposed to the rule since its adoption | and does not believe it should be re-| tained on. the statute books any longer. | Most of the other economy provisions have been done away with. The re- peal bill was referred to committee for consideration. ‘ Official, 97, Dies. England’s oldest justice of the peace, | John Lloyd, has died at Hatfleld, aged 97. N NNV AVOID EYESTRM"!f ) . « .

Marquis W. Childs, newspaper man and author, writing about the proposed Thomas*Jefferson Memorial, designed by the New York architect, >hn Rus- sell Pope, says, in the current Magazine of Art, published by the American NG STAR, WAS Federation of Arts, that “It is inap- propriate to the man whose memory it is intended to perpetuate; its form is almost wholly empty of significance for the age in which we live, and it will pre-empt what is virtually the only remaining free vista im Wash- ington.” Representative John J. Boylan, Democrat, of New York, chairman of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Com- mission, which picked Pope as its architect, is referred to by Childs in the article in this wise: “Mr. Boylan has long been a modest member of Tammany Hall. His busi= ness, HINGTON, dovetails nicely with a political career in a city in which the machine has 50 long been powerful. * * * Early in his career in Congress Mr, Boylan hit upon the happy theme of the Nation's shameful neglect of Thomas Jefferson. He worked it in season and out, all through the dreary years of Republi- canism. * * * And with the triumph of Democracy on March 4, 1933, Mr. Boylan and Thomas Jeflerson came into their own.” Childs finds fault with the method of selecting the Pope design, asserting: “The question why there was no com- petition for the design has been raised. that of real estate appraiser,|( But the answer appears to be per- D.

Nevertheless it does seem a glaring omission, especially in view of the new policy introduced with respect to all construction done by the Treasury. Under this new policy most mural and sculptural projects are open to national competition, with special regional corapetitions arranged for regional werk.” e g < Colored Singer Hailed.
