PRESIDENT ASKED
TO PUNISH BROWN
Civil Service League ReneWs
Fight Against Head of
Efficiency Bureau.

Renewing its attack on Herbert ID.
Brown, chief Of the Bureau of EfficI-
ency, and the alleged connection of
Senator Smoot with that bureau, the
Civil Service League today made pub
lie a letter to President Coolidge re
questing disciplinary action without
further delay
Recalling to the President that a
month ago a committee of the league
had interviewed him and laid down
memorandum asking the Chief EXecu-
tive to support action to secure the
transfer of the Personnel CIaSSlhca.
ton Board to the Civil Service Com
mission, the letter said
THE facts which justified this re-
quest were brought out in Il congress
sional investigation of the work of the
Personnel Classification Board made
by the House committee on civil serV-
ice, Of which Representative Lehlbach
of New Jersey. is chairman. The com
mittee went into the question in de-
tail and, ignoring party conSldera-
lions. unanimously recommended the
transfer
The evidence warrants the state
ment frequently made by Chairman
Lehlbach that the Personnel Classlllca-
ton Board has violated every section
of the classification act of 1928 except
that this violation was due TO the &C
tivities OF the Bureau of Efficiency and
its representa- iveS acting through and
with Senator SmOOt. The record dis
closes that Senator Smoot has accom-
riished through interference with the
administrative branch of the Govern
ment what he was not able to accom-
plish by due process within the legis-
lative branch Of Government, which
is his only proper domain.
I'VE repeat our request, MIR. Presl.
dent, that you will take action to dis
Cipline the chief OF the Bureau OF
Efficiency for malfeasance in office III
disregarding the plain language and
intent of the classification act and per
hitting Senator Smoot to accomplish
through him what he could not accom-
plish constitutionally through his of
flee as a Senator of the United States.
We realize that the demands on
Your time are very great. but We con
slider this matter one of such great
consequence that we feel called upon
once again respectfully 10 bring 1t TO
Your attention and to request action
without further delay"

MERCHANTS FIGHT
PARKING BAN PLAN
See Tremendous Loss if
Autos Are Driven Off
Downtown Streets.

Washington merchants. while fla
Voring the present one hour parking
restriction, are unitedly opposed to a
complete ban on parking In the
downtown section. il was announced
today by Charles J. Columbus. secre
tary OF the Merchants and Mauufac
turerS' Association.
The statement was prompted by
report that the question of such a
ban. AT one time urged by Traffic Di
rector Eldridse. had been agitated
again as the result of the number OF
arrests for parking violations.
Ever since Director Eldridge as
sumed office he has been stressing
this" Secretary Columbus said in a
formal statement. The first advisory
committee OF Director E,ldridge urged
Simplitication in traffic rules. One
hour parking was one of the most de-
sired things recommended by mem
bers OF the advisory committee.
The parking ban as suggested by
Director Eldridge would be utterly
unrea sonable.
Merchants expend much money
and energy TO attract customers to
their stores. ban on parking would
mean q terrible loss to downtown
stores. II is not reasonable to as
sumo that merchants believing this
would ever sit idly by and acQuiesce
in such an experiment.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association heretofore has COM
planned that the Police Department
was not enforcing the one hour
parking regulation. The figures for
January, announced by Director Ed
ridge, certainly seem to prove that
Maj. Hesses men are doing a good
job, particularly on the parking
regulation since a little over half
of the 1929 arreSts-or 2,339-weie
due to infractionS of the parking
regulation.
There should be no tinkering with
business for the sake of saving the
pay of few policemen"

MUSSOLINI SCORED.
London Editor Assails His Making
Sham of I.OcarnO Spirit"
Py Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.

LONDON, February S.-Premier
Mussolini's violent speech threaten
ing Germany with a campaign of re-
prisals over the Tyrol troubles has
evoked an unusually fiery editorial in
the Daily Express denouncing all die
tators, especially Mussolini, who, the
newspaper says. has made a sham of
the Locarno spirit.
The Daily Express declares that
Mussolini has no justification for his
bullying tone" and Ito choose the
present trouble in the Tyrol as a pre-
text for extending the Italian from
tiers is to emulate the very methods
of Prussianism."
There is no doubt that the opinion
of the Daily Express will arouse the
British public, but in official circles it
is hoped that a more conciliatory spir-
it between Italy and Germany can be
brought about by diplomatic pressure
from other countries.

Particular attention is being paid
TO MuSSolini'S threat. after character
izing the alleged German anti-Italian
campaign as ''nefariouS, ridiculous and
lying that sometimes it is necessary
10 pay two eyes for the loss of one
and with a whole set of teeth for the
loss of one tooth" His remark that
Fascist Italy can. If necessary. carry
further beyond its tri-color, but never
lower it, is regarded in some quarters
as a direct threat that the Italians
may move further into Austrian terri
tory, if such a step should be con
sidered necessary. Mussolini at the
time was referring To the Italian posi-
ton at the Brenner Pass. which Is
on the AUStro- Italian frontier and is
the shortest route from central Ger
many into Italy.
The perturbation here has been in
creased by the receipt of comment
from the Italian newspapers. some of
which assert that MuSsolini's words
We're almost equivalent to a declara-
lion of war against Germany.
\ move to recall the Italian am
haSsador is interpreted locally is an
expression of Italy's diStrust OF Ger

an hours quiet rest OF nights since
the island was joined to the main
land by dam as part of the great
Zuyderzee drainage scheme.
Wieringen was an Arcadia where
all the rugged and pristine virtues
relgned. Burglaries or robberies
were unknown. Since the dam was
laid, however, the islanders have
been suffering from veritable
plague OF thieves and other unde-
sirables who have descended upon

Wieringers now are asking them
selves whether it was worth while
