which now is limited to seven MEM

With such a provision il viii be

many officers as may be necessary to

as Is accomplished by the general sta IF

the secretary will not surrender his

Is understood that Secretary Newberry
is in sympathy with legislation along
that line after an organization apabl
of effective work has been secured.
but he believes ii should be tested by
practical enforcement before it is given
the stability of law.
