SOCIAL SECURITY
JOB COURSES HIT
“Lavish Promises” of Schools
Held Fraudulent—Competitive
Exams Alone Qualify.
The Civil Service Commission and
the Social Security Board last night
issued a joint warning against “lav
ish promises made by self-styled ‘so
cial security correspondence schools’
and mall order ’training courses,
which prepare you for social security
jobs,’ ” branding them as “fraudu
lent."
Pointing out that positions under
the Social Security Board Itself must
be filled through competitive exam
ination. and that the Federal agency
has nothing to do with appointments
In the State organizations, the state
ment emphasized that "completion of
such private courses of instruction
does not eliminate the necessity for
meeting civil service requirements.”
The statement also made known
the intention of the Civil Service
Commission to report any “unlawful
misrepresentation” to appropriate
Federal authorities.

SENATORS START
State Department Spokes
men Discuss Measure
With Committee.
B? the Associated Press.
An inconclusive discussion with
State Department spokesmen started
the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee yesterday on its study of per
manent neutrality legislation.
Despite the explosiveness of the
subject, committee members said
there were no fireworks in the Initial
executive session. Major point* of
controversy were not reached, they
added.
Chairman Pittman forecast after
ward that the committee would act
“at a very early date.” He called an
other meeting for next Wednesday,
when he said he expected Secretary
Hull would appear.
Moore Leads Delegation.
Assistant Secretary Moore led the
State Department delegation. Pitt
man said his own bill was chosen by
them “for the purposes of discus
sion.” He did not say, however, that
they had indorsed it.
Pittman discounted differences be
tween his bill and a measure offered
by Senators Clark, Democrat, of Mis
souri; Vandenberg, Republican, of
Michigan; Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota and Bone, Democrat, of Wash
ington. He said he had amended his
proposal again to bring it in line with
the bill offered by these former mem
bers of the Senate Munitions Com
mittee.
Pittman’s amendment would lift
insurance protection from goods
shipped during a war in violation of
the neutrality program.
In talking with reporters he con
tended his bill would prevent Ameri
can ships from going Into danger
zones, but that the other measure
only would prevent American cargoes
from entering such territory.
Says BUI Protects Seamen.
“Both my bUl and the Clark blU
protect against American citizens
losing their cargo,” Pittman said.
“My bill goes farther and attempts to
protect the lives of American seamen
on American ships by ‘prohibiting the
ships from transporting to belligerents
things that would probably cause the
sinking of the ship."
The former Munitions Committee
members have contended there was
a great difference in the amount of
discretion allowed the President un
der their bill and the Pittman
measure.
The committee chairman said the
controversy which bears promise of
being the most troublesome, over
“freedom of the seas,” was not men
tioned at today's session.
CAPITAL IS EIGHTH
IN TRAFFIC DEATHS
17 Fatalities Here in First Five
Weeks of 1937 Compare With
12 Last Year.
Only seven cities in the United
States have had a larger automobile
accident death toll since the begin*
ning of the year than Washington,
according to a survey by the Bureau
of the Census.
For the first five weeks of last year,
the survey shows, Washington had a
total of 17 deaths due to automobile
accidents within the city limits, as
compared with 12 during the first five
weeks of the preceding year. During
both years Washington ranked as the
eighth American city in point of auto
mobile deaths during the first five
weeks.
The total number of deaths in
Washington due to automobile acci
dends, however, was even higher in
proportion. There were 10 additional
deaths here, due to accidents out
side the city, making a total of 27
deaths in five weeks. Only four cities
In the country had a higher total.
They were New York, 108 deaths; Chi
cago, 70; Philadelphia, 40, and Bal
timore, 39.
