AMERICAN DELEGATES
 SERVE NOTICE


 LONDON, June 22, R)-Ameri- can delegates to the World Econ omic Conference made startling move which many delegates inter- preted as serving formal notice on the assemblage that the United States will not consider the stabil- ization of the dollar before the conference adopted the Roosevelt program for the removal of inter- national trade barriers.
 This move was the introduction of a resolution by Hull under Roosevelt,s instructions. calling for trade barrier removal. It was free ly expressed by lobbyists that this was the American answer to the fierce campaign of France, and oth CT gold bloc countries, to force the United States to stabilize the dol lar before other subjects were dealt with; and left all sorts of re- ports shooting about that the Con- ference would possibly adjourn
 Reports of the steering commit tee said that things looked more hopeful as the result of late con- ,versations.

WASHINGTON, June 22. R- So as to open to the political pat ronage of the national Democratic thousands of feder- al jobs now under civil service, high Democratic officials in Wash ington, DC, are declared to be on movement for ab- olition of some of the civil service regulations.

 If President Roosevelt approves of the idea, department heads will be able to appoint democrataic su'b stitutes for the persons. mostly Re- publicans. who now hold su'bordi- nate places.

PROBE W|DENED
IN SHORTAGE
At LORTON
Report to D. C. Heads on Miss
ing Welfare Funds Deferred
To Get More Facts

A delay in action on the re-
cently-discovered shortage in the
welfare fund at Lorton Reforma-
tory cropped up today as the ex-
pected report to the Commission
ers on the matter was held up.
The report, prepared by George
A. Kidwell, of the auditors Of
flee, and Paul L. Kirby, assistant
director of public welfare, was
to have been sent to the Com
missioners today with recommen-
dations by George S. Wilson, di-
rector of public welfare, and
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan.
More Details Asked
When Wilson and Donovan re-
ceived the report, however, they
expressed the opinion that it was
incomplete and sent it back to
Kirby for addition of further de-
tails. 1t is expected this will
take several days.
The shortage, which officials
declare will total less than $1,000,
is not in District funds, but in
the welfare fund, made up of
contributions to the athletic and
recreation fund, profits from the
canteen and the like. This fund
was handled by Kenneth Dove,
chief clerk at the prison, and a
man in charge of the canteen,
whose name Wilson said he does
not know.
Future Action in Doubt
What action the Commissioners
will take on the matter is prob
lematical and depends largely
upon the recommendations OF
Wilson and Donovan.
According to Kirby, the first
shortages were found at the
reformatory several months ago.
These discrepancies of about $40
apparently were the result Of
carelessness and poor bookkeep-
ing, he said. The present short
age, however, is obviously the
result of more than careless
ness," in opinion of Kirby.
