Senate panel tempering bill to require Senate approval of high paid federal staff
Washington reports Senate Judiciary and committee members tentatively approved a bill subject to changes requiring Senate confirmation for federal employees earning over 4500 annually. President Roosevelt opposed the move, and amendments seek to exempt technical staff or those with civil service ratings. The panel trimmed provisions on tenure and four year terms, while keeping a public check on appointments. The full Judiciary Committee planned a Wednesday meeting to consider the measure amid administration opposition and a narrowly divided Senate.

Three Man Liquor Control Board Proposed for Frederick County
The McClayton liquor-control bill before a State Senate committee would create a three member Frederick County liquor license board replacing the present single commissioner system. The plan would raise salaries and allow the board to hire inspectors and cover clerical costs, with potential costs likely to exceed current expenditures. Receipts from licenses may not cover all costs next year due to wartime factors reducing revenues. The bill would set four year terms for appointees and require residents and voters from the county. impending hearings include Senate and House judiciary and Ways and Means committees.
