House Refuses Funds
For Frankfurter Plan
Of Selecting Lawyers
Rebuff to President
Seen in Acceptance of
Committee Suggestion
The so-called Frankfurter plan
for selecting Government lawyers
seemingly had been shelved today
after the House refused yesterday
to grant 0100,000 to make it op
erative in the next fiscal year. At
the same time the House approved
a rider to the independent offices
bill to prevent use of the civil serv
ice appropriation—or any other
funds in the measure—to finance
the program.
House action—considered a re
buff for President Roosevelt—con
formed to the recommendation of
its Appropriations Committee, and
it was conceded today that the Sen
ate probably would fall in line.
As a result, it was said that it
would be necessary either to appoint
lawyers to Government service by
the same competitive process as
other employes are chosen, or to
take legal positions entirely outside
of civil service, restoring the status
they formerly had. There was no
indication which course would be
pursued by the President.
About 5,000 Involved.
Approximately 5,000 positions are
involved.
The "Frankfurter Plan” developed
out of the deliberations of the com
mittee. headed by Associate Justice
Reed of the Supreme Court, which
the President named more than
three years ago to work out a pro
gram of civil service reforms. It
provided for a Board of Legal Ex
aminers, headed by the solicitor
general and composed of members'
from Government and private legal
circles, to direct recruiting, exami
nation and selection of Government
lawyers.
Only four members of the com
mittee—Justices Reed, Frankfurter
and Jackson <then Attorney Gen
eral) and Gano Dunn, a New York
engineer—approved the plan which
was vigorously assailed by the four
other members—Supreme Court Jus
tice Murphy, William H. McRey
nolds. administrative assistant to
the President; Leonard D. White
and Gen. Robert E. Wood. They
said the program would lay itself
open to favoritism.
The President, however, approved
the program and made it effective
by an executive order issued in con
nection with the expansion of the
civil service under the Ramspeck
Act. Prior to that time, the appoint
ment of lawyers generally had rest
ed with the employing agencies,
although some were under competi
tive civil service.
Board Was Independent.
While the Board of Legal Ex
aminers nominally was a part of
the Civil Service Commission, it was
entirely independent, but has been
financed by that agency for the last
several months after Congress re
fused to make an appropriation in
a deficiency bill.
In denying the funds sought for
the next year, however, the House
made it certain that no money could
be diverted to the board. Back of
the House action Is a long-smoulder
ing resentment in Congress at the
favoritism which it frequently has
been charged has been shown in
New Deal agencies in the appoint
ment of lawyers. Critics have as
serted that graduates of certain
schools—notably Harvard—have re
ceived the best posts.

Found Slain on Road
Near Catonsville
Women Identified, but
Male Victim Is Unknown;
No Weapons Located
! By the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 23.—Two
married sisters, one of them shot
and the other stabbed, and an
unidentified man, also shot, were
found dead early today on a
bush-lined roadside near C^tons
ville, Baltimore suburb.
Baltimore County police, report
ing they found neither knife nor
pistol near the scene, said it was
possible the women and the man

bodies dumped beside the road.
Sprawled about 50 feet apart at
the end of the Johnnycake road, the
bodies were discovered by Harry

of one of the women, who said he
came upon them on his way home
from work.
The women were identified as
Mrs. Helen Johnson, 21, and her
sister. Mrs Irene Carter, 32. The
man was not identified.
Leonard Johnson of Alberton, hus
band of Mrs. Johnson, made the
identification, police said.
Dr. Kieffer Bald the man had a
bullet wound in the chest. Mrs.
Johnson was shot through the head
and her sister was stabbed in the
left breast and slashed about the
throat. He ordered the bodies re
moved to the Baltimore City Morgue.
Catonsville police said Mr. Souers
told them he came upon the bodies
lying face upward, at 5:30 o'clock
this morning, then drove to the
nearest telephone and called police.
^he bodies were found near Hollo
fleld, small community not far from
i : . onsville. The Johnny Cake road
makes a sharp curve there and police
aamMMnMaaMaoMMMmMiaMiK
quoted Mr. Souen u saying he did
not see how any previous passerby
could have overlooked the bodies.
