tutior--to promote the general
welfare and secure the blessings
of Gbert to ourselves and our
pcsterity" POSTMASTER General
James A. Farley told the Ma
tional Association of Postmasters
in convention here last night.
The economic collapse of 1929,
Farley said, brought ga determi-
nation to effect such a reorgan-
ization Of our economic, social
and political life as to guarantee
the full restoration of the high
standard of living which in the
past we have been proud to think
distinguished the United States
from other nations"
Turning to postoffice affairs,
Farley said that no postmaster
had been removed for political
reasons under the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. Most acting post
masters appointed have replaced
men whose terms had expired, he
explained. He said 661 post
masters had been removed since
March 4, and of these 625 were
removed for "infractions of the
postal laws" Only Sc, he said,
were removed for political activ-
ity.
The postoffice inspection serv-
ice, Farley said, is being restored
to the even balance between Re
publicans and Democrats instltu-
ted by Postmaster General Burle-
son in the Wilson administration.
On March 4, Farley explained,
only ITO inspectors out of $40
were Democrats.
Postofice revenues will be
brought within hailing distance
of expenditures this year, Farley
said, even if the postal deficit is
not actually Wiped out.

The Indiana /rioting occurred at

homes of men employed in the

men leave town.
Wherever resistance was en-
countered, windows were smashed
and the victims were dragged
from their homes and beaten.

RUMORS OF GARB0'S
WEDDING RENEWED

STOCKHOLM, Sept. 20. (UP).
Rumors of the impending mar
riage of Greta Carlo, screen ac-
tress, were revived last night as
a result of a report in the Dag
ligt Allehanda that she had pur-
chased an estate of 125 we'll
wooded acres on the Island of
Dyvik.
The fact that Max Gumpel, an
engineer with whose name the
actress often has been linked, Is
understood to be planning to
build a mansion on the island
was regarded as significant in
the rumors of this long-rumored
romance.
