ARMY To RULE
JUGOSLAV|A

VIENNA, Oct. II 0.N.SD
Jugoslavia's regency council will
be under the domination Of mill
tary leaders, who will impose a
practical military dictatorship
over the country, Austrian politi-
cal circles feared today.
Authorities voiced strong doubts
that the power of the men who
reign in young King Peters place
will be capable of weathering the
stormy period that, it is expected
here, will come soon below the
southern frontier.
Prince Paul does not compare
with his cousin, Alexander, in
personal strength, while his CO
regents, Radenko Stankovitch and
Ivan Perovitch, are without the
popular support Of the Serbian
majority, diplomats here believe.
General Vivkovitch, who headed
the government when King Alex
ander set up his previous military
dictatorship, is looked upon as vhe
man who is likely to become the
power behind the regency.

Barthou Lies in Historic Clock Room
OF Foreign office as Paris MournS

PARIS, Oct. ii U.N.S0.-Louis
Barthou, Frances martyred for
eign minister, came home today.
A great crowd met the funeral
train at Lyons station. The train
arrived just 10 minutes after
Queen Mother Marie Of Jugo-
slavia reached here from Mar

death Tuesday.
M. Barthou went back in death
to the foreign office over which
he presided and which he had con-
fidently left only a few days ago
for Marseille and Rome for what
was to have been a triumphant
vindication of his foreign policy.
Crepe Replaces Flags
In contrast to the joyful flutter
Of French and Jugoslavia flags

crepe streamers hung from the
roof Of the foreign office, and
black hangings covered the stately
facade.

automobiles crowded with wreaths

doorway into the foreign office.
M. Barthou's chief secretary
and other members of his staff
were unashamedly in tears as the
casket, covered with a gold-bor-
dered French tri-color, was carried
into the famous Clock Room.
In this room, where M. Bar
thou's greatest work was done, he
came to his last rest before the
grave. It was in the clock room
that the Kellogg-B BRAND Peace
Pact was signed, and there the
council Of the League of Nations
was convened to discuss the Sino-
Japanese conflict.
The gold edgings along the wall
and gilded decorations that bright
ened the room, worth nearly half
a million dollars, were blotted out
by the black drapings.

its name to the salon licked loudly

Constitutionality of the railroad
retirement act was questioned

Court, today by a group of $50
railroads.
In a prior attack on the act,
which the railroads say will cost

first five years, with gradually
increasing costs, Justice Let's
held that Because Of the small
amount Of money that would be
assessed against the individual
carriers, there was not a suf-
ficient showing of 'irreparable"
injury to entitle them to pre-
liminary injunction.
In the present case the railroads
are seeking a temporary injunc-

Of forestalling payment into the

amount of money each carrier is
