WASHINGTON, Aug. T. - The
newest "new deal" innovation is
at the state department, which has
decided that from now on any day
is visiting day for diplomats sta
toned here. Previously Thursday
was the formal calling day at the
department.
The change is due to Cordell
Hull. secretary of state, who has
tired of cooling his heels in his
office on Thursdays waiting for
some ambassador or minister to
call. So many have been out of
town recently that Hull found he
was wasting one day a week. He
dutifully had refused to make 9TH
er appointments for that day as a
courtesy to representatives of other
nations.
The diplomats may burst in any
old day now and be welcome.

CLIFFORD NOT
IN FAVOR OF
DILL MEASURE

WASHINGTON, March 13. up
Walter S. Clifford, preS,<-nt OF the
American Telephone & Telegraph
company, today charged that the
communications regulation bill OF
Senator Clarence Dill, Dem, Wash,
would disorganize the telephone
business, imperil its efficiency and
jeopardize the investment of 68l 900
stockholders.
Testifying before the senate inter-
state commerce committee, Clifford
argued that any communications
legislation should be restricted to
that called for by President Roose-
welt.
But the Dill bill, he said, goes far
beyond that. Clifford contended the
measure would grant new and dras-
tic authority over practically all
telephone company transactions;
would jeopardize the standard ac-
counting practices established by
the l. c. c., and would give the Pre-
sident power to seize the telephone
system upon a proclamation OF a
national emergency.
Clifford described the Bell system
with 13l63,0O0 telephones, 69l ,00O
stockholders and an investment OF
nearly s5,G0O.0OO 600 as practically
a publicly owned institution" He
said that no person owned as much
as one fifth Of one per cent OF the
stock.

In the conference with the two
ex-enemy premiers, Mussolini hopes
to put Austria on the road to a
new deal and to remove the dam
ger of war from NaZi encroachment
in that emasculated country.
Mussolini let it be known he was
disgusted with the trend of dis
armament and political negotia-
tions in Europe and proposed to act
himself to try to normalize the Sit
uation in central Europe, which
finds 100000 armed men on Aus
tria' IS borders, waiting to attack
anyone who attacks her, and which
finds Italy, Czechoslovakia, Jugo-
slavia and Roumania ready to de-
clare war.
Austria is threatened by a strong
Nazi movement-how strong no ore
knows - among young Austrians,
whose leaders and thousands of
whose rank and file are refuging in
Nazi Germany.
An incursion of these Nazis into
Austria would be regarded as a
