Smuts the premier Of South Africa and many Delawar-

That General SHUTS was not basing his Judgment upon

President De Valera Of the Irish republic has agreed 70
attend the conference at London which he has been in

and Ireland has been declared to continue while the con

While It would be taking too optimistic a view Of the
tuaon to predict with certainty that the 7OOyear war
between the British and the Irish about 10 end there are
many encouraging factors upon which to base such pre-

MorrolD Case Again
In Equity Court

Attorneys for the Department Of
Justice will wage determined
fight in the Equity Division of the
District Supreme Court tomorrow
to prevent any interference by the
court in the removal proceedings
whereby the department hopes to
force the appearance of John A. d.
Morrow. vice president of the Ma
tional Coal Association, at Indian
apolis, Ind. to plead to an indlct-
ment charging him and 22s other
coal operators and dealers with
conspiracy to violate the antitrust
laws.
The Attorney General asks the
court to dimsiss the proceedings on
the ground that the court has alb
solutely no jurisdiction in the mat
ter. Mr.. Daugherty claims that
Morrow's action Is really against
the United States government,
which has not been made a party
to the suit.

BILE treatment -soy the employer in
the primary matter of just pay for

in the Federal service as to fixation
Of salary rates are a perpetual incite

An important recommendation Of
the committee IS the one having to
do with inclusion within the Civil
Service Of Administrative officers not

Of policy. With respect to this sug-
gestion the committee says:
Include Administrator.
one of the most serious handi-
caps to both economy and efhciency
in the Federal service is undoubted-
ly to be found in the practical ex-
clusion from the permanent Civil
Service of a very large part, IL not
practically all, of the administra-
tive Offices of real distinction. No
one would suggest that Cabinet off,
GERS and their immediate assistants,
should be other than the personal
selection of the President or of
themselves, and permanency in the
highest positions in the foreign
service of the Department OF State,
such as ambassadors and ministers,
probably will have to come as a
matter of practice rather than law
or executive rule.
There still remain, however, a
very large number of positions
which belong properly with the per-
manent operating force of the gov
ernment and should be so recog-
nized. These include principally
such local offices as postmasters Of
the first. second and third classes.
Appointments to these ofhces
continue to be made almost without
exception on the basis of political
favor. Each change in administra-
tion, particularly IL II involves a
change in party. means aowholesaie

waste Is tremendous and obvious"
