Republican party local leaders headed

Importance for its reaction upon the

ney for Kenneth G. Ormiston, that the
former Angelus Temple radio operator
had left no doubt in the attorneys
mind that Aimee Semple Mcpherson
was Ormiston's companion at Carmel,
Calf, for ten days after the evangelist
disappeared last May, was contained in
a statement given out by Hahn today.
Hahn's statement was inspired by ru
mors that there had been break" be-
tween himself and District AxAorney
Asa Keyes following the announced diff
ferences of opinion between the two
men over the question of whether Or
miston should be grained immunity for
turning states evidence and testifying
against Mrs Mcpherson, who is charg-

bNl are the increase in salaries al
lowed under it and the creation OF
a personnel board which keeps rec
ords of all matters pertaining to per
sonnel and efficiency of the men in
tho service.
"Another forward step was the
creation of the foreign service school,
which is established in the depart
ment Of state Under this provision
a man who has hac a college educa,
tion or its equivalent and has en-
tered the consular service, is sent to
this school for one year While a;
school he receives the value of two
lectures daily by experts of the de.
partment Of state and other govern
ment officials in Washington
"While attending schooi these stu,
cents in the service are distributed
in grous in the various offices fol
consular and I'll lon Htic training. All
during the school and training pe~
riods each receives a salary of $2,50o
a year. They are given examinations
at regular periods while at school,
and when sufficiently trained, are
sent out to various posts.
"An interesting feature of the
diplomatic and consular school is
that no regular graduation exercises
are held. At the close of the train
ing period all the new members are
gathered at banquet at which the
secretary of state, or one of his as
sistants presides During this ban
quet the presiding officer announces
the various offices to which the new
men have been assigned. 1t is in
teresting to note that of this class
some go to Africa, the Far East,
South America and every point 20
which the American consular and
diplomatic service extends.
"The Porter bill, passed recently by
congress, has also meant great
forward step in the American foreign
service This bill provides an ap-
preparation of $10,000000 for sthe pur-
chase of embassies, legations and con
sulates in certain parts Of the world.
Under this provision, members of the
service who are serving abroad and
in the tropics will have the advantage
of living in government-owned homes
equipped and furnished in the moss
modern way Not only does this
mean added comfort to the members
of the service, but it means a great
saving to the government in rent.

ANENT PRO FOOTBALL

1t seems certain college coaches, as
well as directors of athletics, are for
some reason taking professional foot
ball all too seriously.
Professional football will never en-
croach upon the popularity of the col
1ege game The two have but little in
common.
Coach Knute Rockne of Notre Dame,
who is sensible in all things, sees no
reason why the colleges should make
such a fuss over the attempt to pro-
fessionalize the game.
"The attitude of the public toward
the game will determine how Tar it
gets in it's appeal to the lovers of
football says Rockne.
That statement is chocl1 full of logic.
If the professionals serve brand of
football that has the flavor of the old
college days, the sport is sure to gain
a following.
If the style of play lacks appeal,
then it isn't going to meet with much
success.
