As 9 reward for their service in the United States army during the war Frank Zenobi and Cesare Cont of this city are back in the United | States, although they exceeded their postwar stay in Europe and were barred from return by immigration law restrictions.

 Lucien c. Rode, a former major in the American expeditionary forces. arrived yesterday on the Le- viathan of the United States line. the first American to enter the United States under the Reed law. When the Italian liner DuiIic ar- riyes late in the afternoon from Genoa via Naples the purser report cd there were two Italian veterans on the ship who fought under the United States colors in the World war and had been detained abroad since 1919.

 AIRED BEFORE COMMITTEE
BUILDING COMMISSION FIRM FOR ASSISTANT Argues With Mayor Weld For Need of Deputy
 Inspector

An attempt, which was only par
 tally successful in convincing Mayor
 Weld there is need for a deputy in-
 spector in the building department
 and that Edward J. Hennessy. the
 present chief inspector. should re-
 ceive the appointment when his as-
 sistant, Arthur x. Rutherford, is l placed at the head of the depart
 ment, caused the prolonged star
 chamber session at the mayors of
 fee yesterday afternoon.
 The meeting was called to con-
 slider the possibility Of legal techni- l calities preventing the appointment | Of a deputy after Rutherford resigns
 to take the post of chief inspector. 1 Armed with statistics relative 10 the building Of last year and the present boom. the commissioners were pre- pared 10 argue with the mayor the need of an inspectors assistant.
 Mayor Weld admitted there ap- peared to be more need Of a deputy than he realized several months ago but was not finally convinced; neither was he ready to accept the commissioners recommendation that uennessy be placed.
 Members of the commission are said to be unqualifedly for Hennessy as deputy. However, they realize the possibility of a technicality which would prevent them from making the appointment without action by the common council. which vote un- der which Rutherford now holds the position is SO worded that commis- sioners believe his resignation would abolish the position and eliminate the salary.
 Rutherford was appointed in July ! and the appointment regalized by the common council in August, 1925, | through the following resolution, adopted on motion of C. J. Dehm, at . that time an alderman;
 The board of building commis- !. sioners held a joint meeting with the ! committee of the common council i appointed for the purpose of investi- !. gating the need of a deputy build ] ing inspector on July %. 1925, and . on recommendation of your com mttee appointed Arthur N. Ruther- ford deputy building inspector and recommends he be paid a salary of $50 a week. including transportation"
 Specific mention Of Rutherford's name in the resolution establishes the job and the wage only during the time he holds office, commits sioncrs opined. Judge John H. Kirkham, the city's corporation counsel, studied the question and was not prepared 10 give a decision at once. For this reason the meet ing adjourned after nearly an hour lno one-half behind closed doors without reaching a decision. Further meeting. which will probably also be of the star-chambor type inaugural ad by Mayor Weld two months ago, will be held before definite action Is taken. II Is not expected however, .here will he meetings until just prior to the next regular session Of he common council.

 Up to Parliament
 Parliament will soon be called upon to take the responsibility either of ratifying or rejecting the Washing ton debt funding agreements says the declaration of policy of the new Briand cabinet, which was read before both houses this afternoon. The government declares that settle ment of the inter-allied debts is one of the factors upon which the pro- posed stabilization of the franc de- | pends.
 Text of Declaration
 The text of that part Of the . declaration referring to the debt { agreement reads:
 "The government knows that in order practically to accomplish stabilization of the franc, interna- tional aid will not be useless. But in no case will it consent to the slightest infraction upon the full sovereignty of the country.
 Tt does not overlook that settle ment of the interallicd debts is one Of the helps necessary to sound reasonable stabilization, Consequent ly the urgent duty of the govern ment is 10 put parliament in d posi- ton 10 decide this great question. II is already before both houses, and they will very soon have 10. take their responsibilities upon it.
 Meanwhile the government pro- posed to pursue the necessary nego- with the greatest energy in order that, In the shortest possible time. the whole problem may come before you (the parliament) and that when the moment arrives you will not have 10 ratifv an agreement with one of the creditors without know ing the obligation that will weigh upon the treasury as q result of the accord with the .'thar creditor. (The two creditors referred tc are the United States and Great Rritain.)
 "A great country owes 1t to itself 10 look far ahead when # signs such solemn engagements. because it is anxious 10 be punctual in their execution. The interest of the credi- " or Is thus served by the scruples of Y he debtor" 6
 Life Is At Stake g
