City Manager Plan Gains In Popularity
425 Cities and Six Counties in United States Have
 Adopted It-JeffersOn Theory Discarded

Chicago = CUP. )---six counties and 42B cities in the United States have discarded the Jeftersonian theory of government by amateurs'' and substituted administration by technically trained managers.'
 '"The City Manager Profession" :" a study of this development in local government has just been published by the University of Chi cag0 Press. The authors of the Inc ternational City Managers Asso- ciation and associate professor of Political science at the University of Chicago, and orin F. Noting. assistant director of the associa- tion.
 At present the city manager is the administrative head of cities ranging in sise from Polk City, Fla. with 222 inhabitants, to Cin- cinnati, with 45i,000.
 Since Staunton, Va, installed the first city manager in 1908, the number of cities adopting that form of administration increased te 105 in 1918. then to se1 in 1928, and by last year there were A2b cities in the United States with city managers. The extension of the manager idea to county governments has been a new de- selopment which promises to grow Rapidly.
 The typical city manager, ac- eording to the treatise, has at- tended college and has held one or moro public positions before re- lceiving his appointment as city manager at the age of 37. He has been in his present position four years and nine months. He is married and is now i7 years old. :,

No Heat Prostration
 Promised For Miami
Legionnaires Will Not Suffer in Annual Convention
 Parade October 22 to 25

and streets of Miami are to be overhung with pennants and streamers. The motif will be a re- semblance to the camouflaged French roads leading to the front during the war. Silver palm leaves will be interspersed fifth clusters of allied flags. Blue and gold drap- cries mounted on poles with orna- mental spears will decorate the light standards.
 The Miami convention coupon book, which already contains 59 admissions to various events, may shortly require the use of an over size registration packet. Legion naires registering will find that they are in possession of about $200 worth of entertainment.
 The transportation system to be enjoyed during the legion conven- ton will be a revelation to legion- naires who have never been to Miami before. The numerous beaches, golf links, night clubs, horse and dog tracks, charter fish, ing boats, parks, theaters> and huns dreds of other interesting spots are linked to the hotel and apart ment centers by an excellent motor bus system, convention officials point out, and the cost of such transportation is nominal.
 Entertainers on the Miami pro- gram for the national convention Of the legion are famous enough that nearly all of the entertain ment events are to be broadcast over the networks of the two out standing systems of the United States.
 Convention corporation officials estimate from reports received from all departments of the legion that the attendance of the six- teenth national convention may ex- ceed 100000.
 The housing committee of the convention corporation of the legion announces that all legion- naires who visit Miami next Ooto. Der can be assured of reasonable rates. It is stated that S8D of Miami hotel rooms already under contract at an average price of about $2, the highest price for the finest room is about $3.50 per per- son per day, two in room, the lowest being 75c on the same basis.

Miami, Fla. = The American Legion Convection Corporation here, preparing for the. sixteenth annual convention of the legion, october, 22-25, quotes one of Miami's foremost physicians who has been appointed chairman of the first aid committee" for the convention, as promising that there will not be single heat prostra- ton case during the convention. He says legionnaires who have suf- fered from heat at other parades, will be interested to know that heat prostration is unknown in Miami.
 The convention corporation an- nounces that Miami buildings and thoroughfares will be decorated on the most lavish scale in the his- tory of this festive city when the legion convention meets. Many miles of palm fringed boulevards

 CT, and said the Fulton Market company thought highly enough of Meyer not only to forgive him but to take him back to work. He will work in Waterbury on short time for several weeks and later on full time.
 s. Only consideration of the fact that the Fulton company valued him enough to take him back to work prevented imposition of an active jail sentence, Judge Clare mont I. Tolles said. This was Mey. er's first offense. The judge re- marked the thing seemed son1e- thing of a joke to Meyer who ape parentiy was smiling throughout.
 F. j. McGrath of City Hill street, Union City. and Joseph Petrauskas of 3S Stagg street. Brooklyn. were discharged. Each had been ac- cused of violation of the rules of the road. They had been in slight accident near Bottoms tavern on North Main street and could not reach an agreement.

Y.. accused of passing walk light were nolled on payment of $5 each.
 Judge Tolles said the case of John Chef1kis of Greenwood street, Union City, sentenced on June to six months in jail for assault on his wife and fined s100 may be re- opened if the prosecuting attorney receives a letter from the prisoner that he will no longer try to beat up his wife. If such occurs, the jail term may be shortened.

POLITICAL LIFE OF
 EUROPE BETTER

 In final conferences here, Bar thou intimated that France was ready to reverse its attitude toward German rearmament.
 Frances consent to German re- armament would be a return for Germany's adherence to its eastern European security treaty, whose other signatories would be Poland. Russia, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Esthonia and Lithuania.
 Paris dispatches said that if this treaty, and the one among Medi- fled, France would regard its iron. against attack to justify 1t in alter ing its stand against German re- armament.
 The General picture led states men to hope that the world dis armament conference could be re. vived in the fall with some pros pect of success. It was hoped also that Russia might apply for ad- mission to the league at the Sep tember assembly.
 Britain continued to hold a1oof from further commitments on the continent, and it was indicated that its recently expressed determina- tion to increase its own armaments to somewhat nearer the level of those of continental nations would hold good.
 The usually we'll informed politi- cal correspondent of the Daily Mail said today that the cabinet approved an air ministry plan for construction of 500 military planes. An order had been placed, he said, for a squadron of ten big night bombers of wing spread of more than 100 feet, modelled on the monoplane which once won a long distance flight record from Eng land to South Africa.
