 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, August 30.--(Spe- cial )-L. l.. Phillips, former chief of police of Anniston and for two years deputy law enforcement officer, was appointed chief law enforcement agent of Alabana by Governor Kilby late Tuesday, succeeding Conrad W. Austin, who was relieved of his du- ties by order of the governor July 26. MT. Phillips will become the per- manent head of the department Sep tember 1, though his duties will be unchanged, as he has been acting chief since Mir. Austin's release.
 Mir. Phillips has been in law en- forcement work in Alabama for Is years deyoMng his time to Calhoun and Anniston until he came to the capitol two years ago when the law enforcement department was organ ized. He was first deputy sheriff of Calhoun, serving in the capacity four years. He then became plain clothes officer of Anniston. posi- ton which he filled for five years. He was elected chief of police as the successor of the chief who was slain
 
 serving five years in all.
 Chief Phillips was the second man to be placed on the force of the state when the department was organized by Chief Austin. He was designated as acting chief as soon as Chief Aus tin was released.
 In announcing the appointment of MT, Phillips, Governor Kilby stated that a close check had been kept on the work of the officer during the past month which convinced him that Mir. Phillips was the proper man to become its permanent head. Records show that so stills were destroyed in raids conducted by tho" department during the month MT. Phillips was the acting chief.
 It is not the intention of Chief Phillips to make any radical changes in the department, though such changes will be made as he thinks necessary after going over all du- ties of the department and over the personnel

N RECEIVER ASKED FOR
 EMPLOYERS MUTUAL
By Associated Press

Baltimore, August 30.--A receiver ship for the Employers Mutual In- suranoe and Service company, which has written strike insurance for 30 industries in 40 states, was asked today in the Baltimore city circuit court by commission appointed by the court, headed by Thomas J. Keat- ing, insurance commissioner for Maryland.
 While the company officials de. clare the concern is not insolvent, the commissions report states that the liabilities of the company exceed its assets by about $1,00e,000, and probably considerably more.
 The officials of the company say organized labor has been fighting the company since it's formation and that if receivership is declared the labor forces will have scored an inn portant victory over the employers.
 The large losses which the com pany has sustained were attributed by the officials chiefly to the print CTS strike for the 44-hour week in various parts of the country.

Washington, August s0.-Pres ident Harding stepped to the front today in behalf of the father of l9 children--i6 of them liv- ing who is working as por- ter in New York department store at s2o week.
 In sending his congratulations to the mother, Mrs. Domenico zaccahea of New York city whose family group picture re- gently was printed in 8 newspa- per, the president went back to his own home to tell how his mother, who had brought up eight children, had expressed the hope prior 10 her death that she might have been the mother of eight more.
 After Mrs. zaccahea had re- piled to the President telling of the great burden on the father in feeding and clothing his big family, Mir. Harding wrote John Wsnnamaker, the merchant, ask ing if something could not be done for him and MT. Wanna maker promised to help
 The Presidents letter to the mother follows:
 My dear Mrs. Zaccahea:
 T noticed in the photogra- yure section of one of the Sunday papers a picture of yourself, your husband and your very re- markable family of 16 children. 1 cannot resist expressing my very cordial congratulations. Perhaps am moved to do so be- cause of little incident in my own life. My mother bore eight children and raised six of them to maturity. One afternoon, shortly before her death, we were all at my home holding a family reunion and she spoke of hay ing borne eight children and said, with an affection most ap- pealing to me, that she had been happy to bear eight children and if she had her life to live over she would have no desire to change it except to bear eight more. l thought it was beau tiful thing for her to say and the recollection of 1t inspired me to write my very cordial congratu-

PORT AMENDMENT
 ID BE INCLUDED
Positive Announcement That It Will Be Included in Call
 if Session Takes Place

Mobile, August 30--( Special. )-- Positive announcement that if the Alabama legislature Is called into ex- tra session, the Mobile port aid amendment will be Included in the call was made here by Gov. Thomas lE. Kilby
 Governor Kilby, after 8 conference with Harry T, Hartwell. Mobile mem Der of the state harbor commission, authorized the public announcement by MT. Hartwell that 1.-the legisla ture was called into special session the port aid amendment would posi- lively be included
 This announcement is the first positive assurance that the port of Mobile would be recognized in the off, ficial call if such is issued, the gov ernor on former occasions having re- fused to commit himself definitely on the matter. While the latest state ment of the governor with regard to the legislative call was to the effect that he saw no immediate need for an early call of the solons, 1t Is still believed in some quarters that the chief executive woud not wait until spring to issue the call as intiraaied in his. public statement on the mat ter.
 The official announcement of the governor that the port aid amend ment will positively be included will ma aterally aid the proposal through out the state, as it will give official recognition of the states chief exec utive to the development of the port of Mobile. In April of this year; MT. Hartwell was delegated by the state harbor commission to call on the gov ernor and urge him to include the port aid amendment in his call. At that time the governor would give no assurance that he would do SO, but stated that in the event that he did not include the matter in his call he would send the legislature a spe- cial message on the subject.
 However, when the governor was in Mobile and while in conference with Mr. Hartwell, he assured the Mobile member of the harbor com mission that he would include Mo- bile's amendments in the call if is- sued. tThe chief executive had ap- parentfy reached the conclusion that development of the states only sea port is an important matter, and it Is believed with the official stamp of approval, the amendment will carry overwhelmingly if put to a vote of the people again.
