European dictators are running
risks and are trying TO protect them
selves as much as possible against
violent death.
When Mussolini and Hitler speak
in public they wear a mail shirt,
manufactured in the United States,
which covers their body from should
ers to hips These mail shirts. man.
ufactured of non-oxydizing flexible
metal, cost. about $700 piece, but
are worth the money. They are quite
comfortable except in very hot days.
Dollfuss had such shirt, but the
day he was assassinated he did not
wear it; it was an unbearably hot
day. His assailants did not know
this, however, and aimed their shots
at the little chancellor's head.
The death, at the age of 80, of
Field Marshal Lyautey. one of the
greatest soldiers OF France, passed
almost unnoticed because of the
major political problems which pre-
occupied Europe during the last few
weeks.
Yet Lyautey was a greater soldier
than Foch. Petain. Joffre and Hin
denburg, because he tried to avoid
wars and built for France a tremen-
dous North African empire. II was
he who pacified and organized Nor
occo.
Lyautey was the most unmilitant
soldier who ever lived. He believed
in military organization as a preven-
tive and constructive force, which
should. however. be used as little as
possible. The field marshal's policy
was railroads go further than bull
let's" and he built railroads and auto
mobile roads throughout the Moroc-
con empire from the Mediterranean
to the desert of Sahara. Whenever
chiefs Of tribes rebelled against the
French rule he sent troops with
lightning speed and suppressed the
rebellion ruthlessly. But he always
followed his soldiers up with a bag
fun OF presents and decorations. put
himself in personal contact with the
leaders Of the rebellion, and instead
of hanging them, he embraced them
and gave them high-sounding titles
and orders Of the Legion of Honor.

LEADERS
BACK Z BILLS

With local civic leaders express
ing their approval of features of
two bills to give Washington the
right to elect delegates to national
political conventions, Corporation
Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman to-
day proceeded to combine the
measures into legislation which
will be presented to Congress dur
ing the coming session.
The bills favored by the citizens
at hearing held yesterday by
Mr.. Prettyman, were a long bill
which set up machinery for an
election board under the District
Commissioners, and a bill drafted
by John P. Mullen.
The latter would provide a self
perpetuating election Board. ac-
cording to Mr.. Prettyman. Mem
bers of the board would elect a
secretary and treasurer, who
would supervise the next election.
The corporation counsel pointed
out that this system would proba-
bly, lead the reelection of the
board.
A third bill which was con-
sidered at the hearing was held
by the citizens to be highly objes-
tionable to the best interests OF
the CITY.

BY EARL GOODWIN

Conferences today between
Representative Joseph w. Byrns
of Tennessee and Representative
John Bankhead of Alabama, en-
trants in the Speakership fight,
are taken to mean that Repre-
sentative Bankhead will throw
his support to Representative
Byrns.
1t is believed possible this
maneuver will result also in Repre-
sentative Byrns' strength being
thrown to Representative Bank
head for the floor leadership.

may come a demand by Represen-
tative Sam Rayburn, of Texas to

District Attorney Joseph T. Bart

photographers to desist from using
flashlight bulbs in attempting to

"She is completely unnerved.
We can't have her break. She is

Although District Attorney Bart

to introduce into evidence the
English novel, "The Public School
Murder" which dealt with a slay-

DR.. Speer.
The book, purchased by DR..
Speer in Scotland several years

study when the fatal shot was
fired. Names of borrowers were

DEMANDS
JOB SAFETY
By International News Service

BY International News Service
The lowly messenger boys have
a better chance of holding their
jobs than "a few vice presidents
if the Government allows the ma
tons great communications sys-
TENS to merge and operate as a
single unit.
Although advocating such a
merger under Government super
vision to prevent the industry
from "deteriorating," Sosthenes
Behn, chairman of the Inter
national Telephone and Telegraph
Company, told the Federal Com
munications Commission he would
not consent to any merger which
would mean the wholesale dis
missal of employees. He said:
"As captain of this ship
will not approve any consolida-
ton which does not protect
every man, woman and boy in
the Postal organization"
But he added with a smile:
"There may be a few vice
presidents sacrificed"
Mr.. Behn and w. H. Pitkin,
the Postal's general counsel, cited
the increasing competition OF
the air mail and telephone SER
vice with the telegraph industry.

to the bitter end in the Speaker
ship fight.
Showdown Due
Representative Rayburn was in
jected int the speakership fight
by certain of the Brain Trust
group and one or two others Of
the Presidents circle, who believed
"the Administration" should con,
troll the speakership.
The fight, so far, has de,
veloped the fact that the old
House favorite, Representative
Byrns is leading, and Representa-
tive Rayburn is likely to demand
an understanding as to whether
he is to stay in the race as a
so-called Administration candi-
date"
Representatives now back in
Washington say Representa-
tive Rayburn has fewer pledged
votes than anyone outside of the
inner circle realizes and that Rep
resentative Byrns has enough
actual pledges and enough in
sight to elect him easily.
Texans Doubtful
Texans in Congress are not
wholehartedly and unanimously
favorable to Representative Ray
burn although they may give him
a solid vote. They are not at all
glad of the opportunity to have
Texas represented in the speakers
chair as well as the vice presi-
dental chair. They think it at,
tracts too much attention ana
they will be out for bigger game
someday, perhaps.
It will be remembered how well
Mr.. Byrns and President Roose
welt got along together while the
President was in Tennessee en-
route to Warm Springs.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga. Dec. 4
G.N.S0.-An improved and more
efficient control of the myriad
parts of the gigantic machinery
set up under President Roose-
velt's New Deal was the subject
of discussion at the Little White
House" here today.
Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., was the
leader in these discussions with
the President. Others partici-
pating included Secretary of the
Interior Harold Ickes, Federal
Relief Administrator Harry Hop
kins, and Frank Walker who at
one time headed the Presidents
National Executive Council.
Understanding on Relief
Today's parleys followed a
series of meetings dealing with
the projected work relief and Fed
eral housing programs. Mr.. Nor
genthau came down primarily to
outline the sources of income for
the next year, and to check on
plans formed for presentation to
Congress of the Administration
program in January.
The first meetings held, follow.
ing arrival here of MesSrs. IckeS
and Morgenthau, brought a con-
crete understanding between the
President and his aides with re-
gard to the relief program and
the plan for the Federal Govern
ment to supply housing facilities
to those whose incomes are less
than $1,000 a year.
Today's meetings brought a
frank discussion of the possibili-
ties of cutting down expenses
through consultations and CO.
ordination operations which the
President hopes to e11ecC.
Expense Cuts Planned
Neither Mr.. Morgenthau nor
ether Cabinet members would dis
cuss specific figures. AT the same
time, their conversations with re-
porters clearly indicated that,
while the primary objective of
trimming of red tape sails in the
Government is to be efficiency,
important reductions in The run
ming expenses Of the Government
are planned.
In the legal field progress has
already been made in a concrete
sense. Officials who have called
on the President here revealed
that a study has been made
which revealed that important
reductions in the operating cost
Of the various legal divisions of
the Government may be effici-
emily made.
Within the next few weeks,
other consultations and eoordi-
mating operations will be worked
out to cut down the volume Of
overlappings and Implications.
