will comply with the request of
the commission for data on de-

The company's decision to sup

The commission had previously
ordered the company to submit

the telephone company refused to

however, the company reversed its

The telephone company has con-

Oismissals of Federal employees

Dismissals of Federal employees
will figure prominently in the
next elections, according to pres
ent indications.
1t became known today that
the Republican party organiza-
ton is particularly interested in
the efforts of the Democratic
Administration to reduce Govern
ment expenses by firing en-
ployes, and that the policy will
be made the basis of a political
battle at the first opportunity.
OF course, the situation to
some extent is one in which
whatever the Democrats do will be
wrong. The Republicans will have
the second guess and, as critics,
can put the worst possible face
on whatever is done.
valuable Men Lost
However, it is the Republican
contention that some of the most
valuable men in the Government
service have been lost through
the reduction program. and it is
reported that the party head
quarters is utilizing a part of
it's none-too-lavish funds to
check up with careful and de-
tailed studies on the whole dis
missal question.
One of the items that will
probably figure in campaign ma
terial is the action of the Demo-
Gratis in ousting officials of the
Civil Service Commission, for
the first time since the COM
mission was organized.
Meanwhile, reports today indi.

In the Bureau of Foreign and

practically cut down to half size
in the reduction process, there
have, it is now discovered, been
unheralded pay cuts, amounting
in some instances to Is per cent,
in addition to the IS per cent gen.

Attack to Meet Iowa
Saturday.

was Admiral Farragut, or some one,
who remarked that the most eff
fective protection against an enc

frosty gales, Tipping the pigskin
around in efforts to polish up their
forward losses for a display as daz-

the several thousand dads and

That the Hawks may try to pass
Purdue to defeat is deduced from
their performance last week against
Michigan, when, as their running

passes gained 113 yards and a
touchdown on the Wolverines.
Twenty Seniors Play
Fred Hecker probably will be de-
pended on by the Purdue general

him that most of their attention
was given yesterday.
Twenty seniors will make their

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Nov. 49,
A favorable attitude among Western
Conference authorities toward an
annual post-season football game
was sought today by John w. Muir
ray, director of the national foot
ball championship committee.
Murray urged that Conference
heads suspend the ruling against
post-SeaSon games. Ohio State and
Purdue have approved the idea, he
told Professor Ralph w. Angler,
chairman of the Michigan athletic
board, last night.
Murray denied that he sought to
arrange a game between Army and

Princeton, Nebraska, Army, Duke,
Georgia and Michigan are being
considered for the first game, he
said.
