Washington, Jan, 26.
Following the publication copyrighted article in the Washington "Post," reproducing an alleged White House card index survey of §nformation concerning all appoint ed federal employees, Mr. Jouett Shouse, chairman of the Democratic Central Committee, alleged to-day that this index constituted a menace to the whole American civil service system.
Mr. Shouse declared that it would place the records of 10,000 minor employees in the hands of President Hoover's "political agent," former Congressman Newton.
Many believe that this may be made an issue in the autumn congressional clections.—United Press.
