HOUSE VETERAN
 MAY LOSE JOB

Philadelphia residence, went to
 Philadelphia (UP) - Politicians here are wondering if the new democratic congress will oust the veteran house of representatives employe, Joseph G. Rodgers, who, though a staunch republican, has weathered every political vicis- situde for 40 years.
 Rodgrs, who still retains his Philadelphia residence, went to Washington when Harrison was President. He rose to the position of sergeant-at-arms of the house and retained the post until the i'm Aux of democrats in 1931. Though they gave Rodgers job to demo- crat, the veteran nevertheless was retained in the employ of the house-with a raise in diary.
 Ono of the most familiar and well-liked figures in Washington, Rodgers has been a confidant of some of the greatest men the house of representatives has seen during the past 40 years, whether demo- crats or republicans. While ser geant-at-arms. he was paymaster and banker to house members, q sum of $10,000,000 passing annual ly through his office.

AMERICANS ARE SAFE IN RUSSIA
 WRITES STALIN
No Persecution of Foreign CTS - the British Sub= iects Were Arrested For Violation of the Laws

New York, March 22-UP)-- Americans living in Russia have no reason to fear for their security Dictator Josef V. Stalin said in q letter to Ralph W. Barnes. New York Herald Tribune correspond ent in Russia. the Herald-Tribune reported today in a copyrighted dispatch from Mascow. Barnes wrote Stalin to ask If Americans, particularly American technical ex- perts employed by the Soviet gov ernment, were safe from arrest of six British technical experts. Staiin, who rarely replies to n letter, answered immediately and Barnes interpreted this as a friend ly gesture toward America.
 Stalin said the British subjects were being prosecuted not as Brit. ish subjects but as persons accused of having violated the law. "The U. s. $. T.. Is one of the few coun- tries in the world in which display of hate or unfriendliness toward foreigners as foreigners. Is prohi- bited by law" Stalin wrote. "There has been no case. nor can there be one, of anyone becoming the ob- ject of persecution because of his nationality"

ADVERTISING OF BEER ALLOWED
 IN DRY STATES
Newspapers Can ( arry Those Advertisements Under the Provisions of Beer Bill Just Passed

Washington. Mar. 22-(UP) -- Tn. beer bill in it's final form per iilits unrestricted advertising of the legalized 3.2 per cent bever- agcs, according to the interpreta- tfon of Rep. Cullen. dem., N. Y.. sponsor of the measure. Even if newspaper published In a wet state was circulated in q dry state," Cullen said, ''it could carry beer and wine advertisements without violating any provision of the bill"
 This view was supported at the department of justice, where 1t was said the beer advertising could be carried in all states after the bill becomes effective. While no official opinion can be given until the bill becomes law. it was said at the department that the effective date or the be- ginning unrestricted advertising Of 3.2 beverages probably would be the same as the date for beginning of legal sales-April 2.

 In the hotels and restaurants of the Broadway sector, d revival was in progress destined to make the old time ''glories" of the Knicker- bacher, the Waldorf, Rector's. Churchi1Ps and other famous bars seem like the musty furbishment of an 1890 hack.

 CHECKS SERVICE
 BY WIDE SURVEY
384, ,947 Obse r vatio n s Made Last Year For Purpose of Improving Conditions.

7 During the year of 1892, The Southern New England Telephone Company made 3S4.o47 separate observations of telephone service in its various exchanges through out the state, in it's business offices and in plant repair and mainten- ance. These surveys were made exclusively for the purpose of gathering data upon which effi- cjency of service can be improved.
 Except for about 25,000 obser- vations made of service to the public in the business offices and in plant repair and maintenance, all of the observations were made of telephone traffic at the switch- boards where calls are handled. The observations are made for four main reasons; to determine the length of time' 1t takes 10 make connections and the accuracy with which they are made! to discover any faults in the service after con- nections have ben made: to ascer- tain the length of time 1t takes to disconnect and prepare the wire for another call after the subscrib- CTS have hung up: to determine the average length of time that sub scribersscribers take for telephone conservations. The latter affects subscribers only indirectly and the data obtained are used in planning new exchanges or changes in present equipment which will allow for proper facilities for 'all sub scribers during the peak demand for service.
 The exchanges of the state are not informed by the traffic depart ment of observations concerning individual operators and no record of names of operators is kept by the traffic observance department. The sole purpose of the survey Is to discover any faults in service and to correct errors. either me- chanical or human, which would detract from the service to sub scribers,
