Farley Lays
 D0wn Rules
 For Patronage
Democrats "For Roosevelt Before Chicago" Will Get
 Jobs When They Are Given

Washington, July 19.-Postmas- ter General James A. Farley, mas ter of patronage for the Roosevelt administration, has laid down the precise rules under which the re- wards are being distributed in an article to be published tomorrow in the American Magazine.
 Tn a few predatory paragraphs, Mir Farley sets forth that there are 150,000 appointive jobs to be filled, and 1,500,000 applicants already enrolled. "In this article" he says, "I should like to bring patronage out into the daylight and discuss 1t realistically and without hypocrisy. Many readers will doubtless con- demn my whole program emphat- 1cally, but at least they will ur1- derstand the magnitude and conn plexity of the problems and know the methods by which we are try ing to solve it"
 There are approximately 750.000 jobs in the federal service. Of these 600,000 or 80 per cent, are under the civil service. The demo- crats have the right, therefore, to supplant only one-fifth, or 150,000 of the federal office holders.
 This patronage" Mir Farley ex- plains, ''is one of the chief assets of a party in office. We might as we'll recognize it frankly for what 1t is. How will these 150,000 jobs be distributed? What principles shall follow in my recommends tions, and why?
 "I am following two fundamental rules: First, Is the applicant quali- fled? Second, Is he loyal to the party and sympathetic to the pro- gram of Franklin D. Roosevelt?
 "I think 1t Is only fair that those men who worked to put Mir Roose- welt into the presidency should be given jobs in the federal service and be given an opportunity to help
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-19

him carry out his program. I think 1t is not only fair, but req sonabIe and intelligent as a policy.
 Before attempting to defend this proposition, let me state 1t more clearly and definitely. We call those federal ohiceholders who are exempt from civil service re- quirements the "exempt list" I am an old baseball player, and I like to cali things straight. Any republican on the exempt list has chance of reappointment-but he has two strikes on him.
 "If he is a wizard in his own field, if he knows more about his job than anybody else--he will hold his position. But if there is a democrat. just as well Qupalified that democrat will get the Job.
 "And among the democrats who are qualified, who will get the first chance at the job? The F. R. B. c. men. That means the men who were for Roosevelt before Chi cago.' The democrats who jumped on the bandwagon later are next in line.
 T don't think any master of pat ronage has ever stated the propo- sition 50 frankly before. And now that I have stated my attitude, should like to give my reasons for 1t.
 "Often, in reading editorials. I will Farley make his appoint ments by merit, or by politics?'
 1T should like to suggest to these editorial writers that merit and politics occasionally mean the same thing.
 'There are two kinds of politics --nearsighted and farsighted. Nearsighted politics hands out the rewards casually and quickly, with an eye only for the next election. Farsighted politics builds for the more remote future, and realizes that every bad appointment is a millstone around the neck of the party as soon as the people wake up to the fact-and they always do eventually-thata an incompetent has been placed in office.
 "But why, the ordinary citizen may ask, do we replace republicans with democrats? If the republi- cans have done their jobs adequate 1y, why call in new men?
 If you have ever played base- ball, you know that loyalty and teamwork are the most important factors in any team. Individual is working for the success of the team. We want no man in pubMc office who isn't pulling and working and fighting for the success of Mir Roosevelt's program. A man may be a fine executive, but unless he's willing to work hard all day and sit up all night to help along the presidents plans, we don't want him."
 "In other words, loyalty is an aspect of merit.
 "The patronage is reward to those who have. worked for party victory. It is also an assistance in building party machinery for the next election. It Is also--and this the public usually forgets-the test by which a party shows its fitness to govern. Every bad appointment comes home to roost eventually. There may be some bad ap- pointments. Some of Uncle Sam's servants may turn out to be un- fit. But this I say: If I'm wrong, on the general batting average. you know whose head will be cut off first. Mine. And, furthermore, if I deliberately approve men. or wo- men palably unqualified for public office, you will know that I have betrayed the finest friend a man ever had--Franklin D. Roosevelt"

COMMON PLEAS COURT BUSINESS FALLS OFF
HARTMAN IS IN
 PSYCHOPATHIC HOSPITAL WARD
Dripping Wet He Was Picked Up By Cabman Judge Commits Him to Prevent Escape

New York, July 19 - (UP) = Banker Joseph w. Hartman, who turned up as strangely. and unex- pectedly as he disappeared = in a taxicab was a prisoner in Bel levue hospitals psychopathic ward today.
 The 6S-year-old banker was com mitted indefinitely to the prison ward, where steel bars and police guards hamper his movements for the first time since he was charged with falsifying the books of the Hartman National Bank and Trust Company.
 Dripping wet, he appeared al the Regent Nursing Home yester- day, about 30 hours after he dis appeared. He said he spent the time in Central Park and hadn't had anything to eat.
 Louis Manzione. driver of the cab in which Hartman returned, said the banker told him: Step on 1t. I just fell into the river.'
 Hartman, a sufferer from ar- terio sclerosis and other ailments. was put to bed while his lawyers notified U. S. Attorney George z. Medalie. Medalie insisted on his immediate arrest and arraignment.
 Leaning weakly on the arm of a United States marshal. and ac- companied by his wife, Hartman was led before Federal Judge Francis c. Caffey and committed to Bellevue. The judge instructed Medalie and the defense lawyers to argue today on whether to re. sume sanity hearings. The defense maintains Hartman Is not com. petent to stand trial.

FAMED VENICE
 FINALLY YIELDS
 TO 1883 WORLD
A Il tOs Now Travel to Threshold of Ancient
 Water City

Washington, (UP)-venice, one of the worlds oldest cities, finally has "gone modern," according to phic society.
 Long famed for its canal streets and atmosphere of romance, Ven- ice heretofore has been inaccessi- ble to automobiles. Now, with the completion of three-mile viaduct across the lagoon separating the town from the mainland, Venice no longer can lay claim to the distinc- ton of being devoid of motor cars.
 However" says the Geographic society report, 'those who love Venice for It's sparkling canals. beautiful marble palaces. crumb- bling mansions. noiselessly gliding wondolas, and tortuous, alleylike streets, will be relieved to know that the new viaduct hardly af- fects the medieval charm of the city. Like the railroad, the new highway ends at the northwest gate of the city, where a huge garage has been built, with a ca- pacity of 1000 motor cars."
 The society points out that If automobiles were allowed in Ven. ice proper, the narrow, arched bridges scattered all over the city would be extremely difficult to cross; while it would be impossi- ble to pass through the numerous slits of paved highway which serve as streets.

RUM RUNNERSN SCRAP WITH THE
 COAST GUARDS
Two of Them Were Wounded and Four Cap- tured--1200 Cases of Liquor COnfiscated

Woods Hole, Mass., July 1s- (UP)-Two rum runners were wounded and four others captured when the coast guard picket boat e261 fired on the rum runner Wha'- Zis of New York off here shortly before midnight last night. The wounded men, whose names were not divulged by coast guards, were wounded when the coast guard boat opened fire on the rum run- ner with it's machine gun, after, instead of stoping as ordered. it zig-zagged for the open sea, emit ting a smoke-screen.
 The coast guard confscated 1900 cases of liquor, valued at $60,000, which were found aboard the rum craft.
 Those shot later identified them selves as Ernest Hahn, 45, of 70 Joseph Russell, 30, of 220 Friend-
 After they had been given first aid treatment by Dr. Oscar S.. Simpson, they were taken to Cape cod hospital, Hyannis where it was reported that while severely wounded neither was in a critical condition. Hahn suffered bullet wounds in the right shoulder and fractured left hip, and Russell received @ bullet wound in the right leg.
 The 9251, in command of Boat swain Alfred Phelan, was on reg ular patrol duty when he and his three men sighted the Wha'Zis running without lights.
 Shots and flares were fired as signals for the rum craft to halt, but 1t sped away behind a smoke screen.
 After a long chase during which coast guards resorted to machine gun fire the 9251 overlook the Wha'Zis. The patrol boat came alongside and despite a choppy sea Phelan and one of his command

managed to board the rum vessel.
 All six members of the rum boats crew surrendered without resistance. Two were found to have been wounded by machine-gun bullets, and the coast guards took the craft to Woods Hole so they might secure medical treatment.

Business, from the standpoint of Clerk William n. Qilletet of the court of common pleas, took a de- cided drop during the past year, according to Q report submitted by the court officer to state controller, Anson F. Keeler, to-day. To be exact there were 277 more cases entered for action year ago than during the past 12 months, which, according to Clerk 0iliette's report, shows 636 cases entered as against 91s for the 1s31-S2 period.
 Lack of necessary finapces on the part of both prospective plain tiffs and defendants is advanced as the chief reason for the noticeable drop in entries for common pleas court disposition.
 However, the number of cases actually tried, exclusive of the short calendar session, compares very favorably with the report for

ITALY RECLAIMS
 FERTILE LAND

Catania, Sicily (UP-Only a few hundred meters from here, 10000 hectares of land, representing one of the most fertile zones in Italy, until recently was an abandoned expanse dotted with muddy and stagnant waters.
 Land reclamation works were inaugurated two years ago. These proceed today on q large ,scale.~ In IS years the entire zone will be reclaimed and will produce about 100000 puintals of wheat, 1t ia expected.
 Save for the first small attempt to reclaim the area in 1900, all subsequent projects belong to the fascist era. These were tnaugudat- ed in 1925 and 1929.
 Civil engineers in charge of the zone have decided to divide the work into two parts; the first part involving the southern and north- ern sections of the Catania plains. Much progress already has been made and in less than i've years about 16,O0O hectares will be re- claimed, 1t is expected.
