Orphans of the storm which abol-
ished the former alcohol control
agencies and created the new alcohol
tax unit of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, a group of "a employees OF
the defunct dry unit of the Depart
ment of Justice, found themselves
yesterday disowned by both the JUS
tice and Treasury Departments-at
least temporarily.
These employees formerly were part
of the tax and penalties section OF
the alcoholic unit of the Justice De-
partment. When this unit became
non-existent by Executive order last
Thursday, the group presumably was
transferred to the Treasury along
with more than 900 other employees
of the former Justice unit.
The group of men and women,
thinking they were now on the Treas
ury pay roll, continued their duties
as usual Thursday and Friday. but
when the confusion of transferring
and consolidating the various merged
units began to dissipate yesterday,

ACCORD D|SSOUGHT
ON STERILIZATION
Child Sees MussoIini on
Agreement Among U. S.,

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, May PA tri-power cur
rency stabilization agreement among
the United States, Great Britain and
Italy-which would force France to
Join them-was understood tonight to
be one of the topics discussed dur
ing a meeting between Premier Mus
solini and Richard washburn Child.
The discussion lasted IS minutes.
At its conclusion Mr.. Child, investiga-
tor of European economic conditions
for the American administration, de-
clned to comment except to say that
he found II Duce extremely cordial
and interesting"
Major Topic of Talk.
It was reliably learned, however
that the question of stabihzation oc-
cupied the major portion Of the con-
ference.
The proposition was said to have
been advanced that Italy JOIN with the
United States and England in a sta
bilization agreement. Such an accord,
it was thought, might also force
France to join whether she wanted to
or not.
The argument was advanced. 1t was
said, that price levels on the Euro
pean continent are out of proportion
in relation to those Of the United
States and Britain and can be
smoothed out only through stabili-
zation understanding.
This would mean currency peg
ging on a lower scale for France and
Italy. The leveling of word prices
would have the effect Of lowering
tariffs and produce greater COM
mercial interchange.
Reliable circles said Premier Mus
solini was interested in the reported
project.
In consequence, Mr.. Child is ex-
pected to give II Duce further details.
The unofficial American envoy has
talked over economic and financial
questions with government leaders in
several European capitals.
The question of Italy'S war debts
to the United States was not dis
cussed this evening, it was learned,
and the Italian Premier did not in
quire regarding the nature of recent

Bilateral Pact Discussed.
A bilateral commercial treaty be-
tween Italy and the United States
was reported to have been discussed
in general terms, and also the ques-
ton of barter as means Of breaking
down trade barriers.
Mussolini was said to have dis
played an interest in powers to be

NEAR c. 0. ?. BOLT
Senator Reported Ready to
Seek Reelection in
Third Party.
BY the Associated Press.

by LIE ASSOCldLeQ FTeSS.
MILWAUKEE,. May 12.-From a
source close to the Progressive lead
ership in Wisconsin it was learned
today that Senator Robert M La
Toilette has about decided to throw
of the cloak of Republicanism and
cast his lot with a third party
The Senator was said to be pre-
pared to seek reelection this Fall on
third party platform and to espouse
the organization of a new party at a
Statewide meeting of Progressive lead
ers at Fond du Lac next Saturday.
FL Delegates Elected.
The trend toward organization Of a
third party was Informally approved
by Milwaukee Progressive leaders, who
met in executive session last night
and elected 81 delegates to the Fond
du Lac conference. The delegates in
clude Thomas NJ Duncan, former Sec
retary to Gov. Philip La Toilette,
who favors third party, and Theo-
dcre Dammann. Secretary OF State,
who prefers to remain in the Repub-
lican party.
Reports of disagreement in Progress
sive ranks as to the advisability of
breaking away from the Republican
banner were heard, however, and it
was said the most vigorous objection
was being voiced by Progressive mem
bers of the House of Representatives
from the State.
Third Ticket Approved.
Third party sentiment apparently
has been growing in Wisconsin since
it became evident that Senator La
Toilette, who campaigned for Presi-
dent Roosevelt in 1882, would not re-
ceive support of the Democratic ad-
miniStration and since the way was
paved legally by recent decision of
the State Supreme Court. The court
held State laws permit a third ticket
on the ballot, from senatorial candi-
dates to the lowest county office.
Former Gov. La Toilette, who as a
meber of a committee of Progressive
leaders petitioned the Supreme Court
for declaratory judgment, was re-
ported as being strongly in favor of
the third party movement. He con-
ferred in Washington earlier in the
week with his brother and House
Progressives.

to make his race for reelection on
