he said, have gone so far as to
claim Germany refuses to fulfill her

treaty, has waited fifteen years for
other nations to keep their pledge
to diSarm also.
Germany no longer will be sat-

POSTAL JOBS

Since amendments to the Post

bill would preclude either a re-
duction of the wage scale or
administrative furloughs, it will
be necessary to accomplish saw
ings by the outright dismissal
of employees, Postmaster General
Brown today informed Represen-
tative Wood (R.) of Indiana. He
said:
Gust what groups would be
selected for reduction, and in
what proportion, would depend
very largely upon adminiStra-
tive policy, but based upon the
present average salary Of all
the groups which would be af-
fected, the number to be dis
missed would be in the neigh
bOrhOOd of 5000.
"ThiS, of course, assumes
that the Senate amendments
restoring automatic promotions
and increasing the differential
for night service, will be con-
Cured in by the House. Should
these amendments be elimi-
mated, the number of employees
to be dismissed would be re-
duced to approximately 1000.
TN view of the very large
discretion which would rest with
the Postmaster General, who
will direct the department in
1933-34 to determine the allOca-
ton of this reduction of per
SOnnel throughout the various
postal branches, it is impossible
at this time to point out the
exact effect which this reduc-
tiOn of personnel would have

BOOMS AGAIN

DETROIT, Feb. 13 GN.S0.-
The depression has been checked
in the automobile industry. the
weekly sales report of R. L. Polk
& Co., statisticians of the motor
industry, indicated today.
The company declared that the
steady decline in passenger car
sales which started in 1929 ap-
pears to have been checked dur
ing January.
On the basis of reports from
eight States, the company esti-
mated January sales at approx
mately $1,000 units, compared
with 87,493 units in january, 1882,
and 45,529 last December.
The estimated sales total is
more than SO per cent of the
five-year January average, which
is 180,862 cars. The report said
"If the estimate proves to be
correct, January will have been
the first month since Septem-
Der, 1881, in which new paSSen-
ger car sales exceeded so per
cent of the five-year average,
and the first month since early
1880 in which these sales ex-
ceeded sales for the correspond
ing month Of the previous
year."

Boettcher and his wife were re-
turning to their fashionable home
early this morning. Boettcher
started to put his automobile in
the garage when two men ap-
peared. One of them flashed a
gun and said:
Come here Charlie and stick
up your hands. Do as you're
told and everything will be all
right"
They hastily handed Mrs.
Boettcher a note, then sped away.
The note, containing the ransom
demand, said:
