ONE PARTY RULE
in SOUTH AFRICA
IS NOW PLANNED
SOUGHT BY GENERAL SHUTS,
LEADER OF PARTY, AND
GENERAL HERTZoG, REPRE-
SENTING NATIoNALISTS
By GIDEON SEYMOUR
By Associated Pressl

CAPETOWN, Aug. 15.-Per-
manent erasure of political lines
in South Africa by fusion of the
two leading parties is sought by
General Jan SHUTS, leader of the
South African party, and General
J. B. NJ. Hertzog, head Of the
nationalist and prime minister in
the present coalition government.
General SHUTS regards the mer-
ger as the browning achievement
of his long career as Boer general,
African statesman and world war
hero
He and Hertzog have agreed
upon its terms. and approval by
conventions of both parties in
August is regarded as certain.
United Whites In Politics
1t is long step toward cement
ing the two additionally antipa-
thetic groups of whites in South
Africa, the English and the Beers,
enabling a unified white popula-
ton to cope with the problem of
the natives who outnumber the
whites by more than three to one.
For Is months the country has
been governed by a coalition of
the nationalist and South African
parties, formed at SHUTS initia-
tive when economic depression
had the nation on the rack and
stubborn adherence to the gold
standard had stagnated business.
But fusion is the result of no
national emergency, for business
rebounded with abandonment of
the gold standard and South Afri-
ca. growing rich from her gold
mines, is prosperous today.
Foresee Mine Exhaustion
Merging of the two groups
which have governed South Africa
ever since it became a unit Of the
British empire in 1910, amounts
to acknowledgment that partisan
ship is hampering the quest for
solutions of the two basic national
problems: The native question.
and the development of a sound
support the nation when gold gives
out.
South Africa knows that every
mine has a bottom,an it has al
ready seen the collapse of the once
lucrative diamond and ostrich
feather industries.
The merger already is Under
fire from extreme groups in both
old parties, with agitation for
South African republic the seed
of discofd. ~ 80
Republicans May Agitate
In an effort to bring in the most
ardent Boer nationalists, the
status of South Africa as a self
determining commonwealth of the
British empire, acknowledges the
right of members of the merged
party to conduct republican pro-
paganda within its ranks.
The ultra-imperialists of the
English group hold this is close to
treason; the ulSra-nationalists
object even to lip service to the
crown and hold that South Africa
is British dominion by its own
wish, may secede and form repu-
bile at any time. and may MAIN
tain its neutrality if Britain goes
to war.

Spanish officials have asked the
American government for infor-

In the United States which might
be released TO a foreign power.
They believe that America has the
best defensive weapons in the
world.
Although the plans for making
these islands impregnable are
closely guarded. il is known that
expense will be a secondary con-
sideration. Several hundred bill

be used.
Naval Base Started
Work has begun at the vital
naval base Mt MahOn, Menocra.
Dredging is underway there and
30 are the foundations for elab-
crate base Notifications.
A chain Of steel and stone is
projected for the shores of the en-

than any similar system now ex-

Health Officer Says Specifications Not
 Closing Out Bidders
City Drew Up Contract Binding Bidders From Drafts
 of Other Cities Demand For 10 Cubic Yard Capacity Collection Truck to Save City Money

Charges in the Waterbury Re- publican, this morning to the effect that the specifications contained in the contract for garbage collection here, which is likely to be let next Tuesday at the board of works meeting, are so designed as to close out small bidders and take care of large truck company on sale of equipment and a favorite' on the contract were emphatically denied to-day by Health Officer Dr E.. J. Godfrey. The type of trucks required, the amount of cubic yards of garbage they must be able to accommodate, the size of the bond required, and so forth were criticized in The Republican this morning.
 In the first place, pr Godfrey pointed out, he would have noth- ing to say as to who would get the contract and who would sell the trucks to the successful bidder. TO make the specifications clearer, he explained, the requirements as set up here have been drawn from drafts of contracts in other lead ing cities of the United States.
 The per cent deposit required on all bids is called for in the charter, he stated. AS far as the cubic yard capacity of the trucks to be used, Dr Godfrey stated that 1t is felt that with a truck able to accommodate 10 cubic yards of garbage, the bid will be lower from the successful bidder, thereby sav- ing the city money, and if the city has to take over the collection

FORMER LEADER OF REBELS WAS
 ASSASSINATED'
General SandinO Believed Killed By Old Enemies
 of His Band

Managua, Nicaragua, Feb 23.- UP)-General Augustine Sandino, former rebel leader, was assas- sinated by political enemies who feared his great ambition and his apparent leaning toward commun- ism, it was indicated today.
 Though President Juan B. Sacasa denounced the murderers and took Sandino's father Gregorio as his guest at the presidential palace, the murder aroused few repercussions and many thought 1t met popular approval. Five other men were ssassinated with San dino. A child was murdered by &C., cident.
 The country was held under a state>of siege by the president, and censorship was imposed.
 Support of Sandino's many fol- lowers and admirers was regarded as important to the government and authorities hoped Sacasa would retain their loyalty.
 But 1t seemed unlikely that the assassins ever would be known.
 Sandino arrived here on the an- niversary of his cessation of revolt, in compliance with an agreement to disarm his followers.
 Immediately upon his arrival, newspapers were filled with dec larations by him which seemed wholly against his declarations of his reconciliation with the ways of peace, and against his promise to disarm his men.
 "There are three powers in Nicaragua" one newspaper quoted him as saying-"Preside Sacasa, the national guard and myself"
 A letter to the president in which he denounced the national guard as unconstitutional served to bring climax, and national guardsmen killed him.
 Panama, Feb 23.-(UP)-Gen- eral Augustine Sandino, assassin ated at Managua, had told Presi- dent Juan B. Sacasa 1t was unwise for the Sandinista "army" to dis arm, as promised, according to word here.
 Sandino, explaining his reluct- ance to carry out his promise, told Sacasa that his men alone could prevent coup that would return former President Jose Moncada to office. Moncadistas had clamored for Candino's disarmament.

work as provided for in the spe- cifications, if the contractor falls down, 1t vii lbe in position to perform its work in suitable fash- ion.
 Furthermore, Dr Godfrey said, the fact that the trucks must carry 10 cubic yards of garbage will cut down the number of trucks, thereby providing for a minimum of cost for labor, replace ment, insurance and so forth, all meaning saving to the city as far as the amount of the contract is concerned.
 Claims that the specifications are drawn so as to close out small bid ders were further answered by the fact that although the committee first considered calling for a $25,- 900 surety bond from the contrac- tor for the five-year period that the contract is in force, it was fin ally decided to require only q $o,- 900 bond, yearly. Many bidders would have found it Impossible to get a $25,000 bond all at one time from a surety company, it was felt.
 The 10 cubic yard requirement. for trucks was not up here withou: a survey being made of other lead ing cities of the country, It was ex- plained. Furthermore, the 10 cubic yard requirement. does not cut the field down to one or two truck companies. Other figures Obtained and the types of trucks used in other cities were as follows:
 'Asbury Park, N. d., 10 cubic yards, GMC truck; Albany, N.
