Office Politics,Miss Bertha Longerhan,Miss Margaret Stanley,Howard P. Locke

Title: 'Office politics' suggested as official is unable to account for presence of employee. Washington, D.C., March 30. The old cry of 'Office politics' was raised today as the subject of a Senatorial Investigation. Miss Bertha Longergan, Miss Margaret Stanley and Howard P. Locke are pictured at the hearing as pricipal witnesses. Miss Longergan, who described herslf as 'one of the older war horses' in her section, having served there for 18 years, and had worried herself into an appendictomy due to what she charged 'juggling' of her efficiency rating which was given as fair, while Miss Stanley's had been 'good' and 'excellent'. Miss Stanley does not have a civil service Rating, and it was brought out that she is doing work which is suposed to be done by stenographers with civil service ratings. Mr. Locke was unable to account for this fact, and denied that he had told Miss Lonergan that something might be done about her rating if she would not testify at the hearings. Mr. Locke is a Justice Department Attorney and says he also attends to 'certain personnel matters'. 3-30-39
