declared he had no authority to

PUBLISHER
By FRANKLIN G. SARTWEI

BY FRANKLIN C. SARTWELL
NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Pro-
claiming new standard of
Government service necessitated
by the revolutionary policies of
the New Deal, George Preston
Marshall, publisher OF The Wash
ington Times, today decried the
fact that increasing duties and
responsibilities which are being
thrust upon Government en-
ployes are not bringing proper
recognition of the services being
rendered by employees of tie civil
branch.
Mr.. Marshall, one of the lead
ers in last winters successful
fight for restoration Of Govern
ment salaries, was the principal
speaker at the opening session
of the annual convention of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees.
Pledges Continued Aid
Discussing the situation with
which Government workers are
confronted as a result of the
changed concept of Government
under the Roosevelt administra-
tion, the publisher pledged to
the convention the continued &C.
tivity of The Washington Times
in the struggle to obtain proper
recognition of the services be-
ing rendered by civilian en-
ployes.
Mr.. Marshall was introduced
to the throng in the convention
hall by E. Claude Babcock, pres.
ident of the federation, at whose
invitation he spoke.
Praise by BabcOck
In introducing Mr.. Marshall,
Mr.. Babcock paid high tribute
to him not only as a newspaper
publisher but as "a good citizen
interested in the welfare of all
Of U.S." Mr.. Babcock declared:
"He has been exceedingly
helpful in our cause. He has
helped us over many a bad spot.
Last year he Sawthe great
need of helping us in our fight
for restoration of salaries. What
his paper accomplished in that
fight you from Washington
well know. He has always
fought for . better deal for
Government employees"
The publishers remarks were
interrupted frequently by ap-
plauSe Of the delegates. They
seemed particularly sympathetic

the library.
"The fire was reported to me
on the bridge by the night deck
watchman, who said he heard
an explosion in the locker"
did you leave the bridge?"
"NO. 1t was heavy weather
and 1 was alone except for the
lookout and quartermaster."
Captain Warns said the locker
was used merely for storage oi
writing paper. He said one alter
native to the incendiarism theory
might be that someone dropped
a cigarette on the carpet of the
library, but explained this would
not account for the explosion.
The blaze was first sighted BY
the night watchman, Captain
Warns continued. He saw smoke
pouring from a ventilator on tht
port side aft, and, after brief in
vestigation, ran to the bridge.
Previously, Captain Warns hac

NEW YORK, Sept 1O.-Incendiarists with
mass murder in their hearts and bent on ruth

This was the dramatic charge made today
