FIGHTS FOR
WORKERS
Insists Internal Revenue Unit
vitality Necessary to
Enforce Liquor Law w.

Secretary of Treasury Henry
Morgenthau today made a bold
bid to have Congress replace on
the pay roll the LOO employees
under his department whose jobs
were jeopardized by the McKellar
rider last year.
He staunchly defended his &C
ton in keeping these employees IN
their jobs in violation of the
spirit of the Mcclellan rider.
Collapse Averted
In testifying before the Senate
Appropriations subcommittee on
the TreaSury-Postoffice supply bill
today, he said:
"To have dropped those of
the old force who failed to
qualify on the new examination
would have put us under the
necessity of attempting to en-"
force the liquor laws with a
green and inexperienced force
and would unquestiOnably have
resulted in a collapse of the
enforcement effort which the
department was making, at a
most critical time."
Senator Kenneth McKellar CD
of Tennessee, author of the con.
troversial rider, urgently advo-
Gated that it be enforced in spirit
as we'll as letter, and wrangled
with the Secretary throughout
the session.
Not Worthy Of Jobs
Senator McKellar contended
that the affected employees were
not worthy of the jobs because
they had failed to pass the ex-
animation required by his rider.
To this, Secretary Morgenthau re-
piled:
"I couldn't have passed that
examination myself"
The Treasury Secretary added:
"This is the first time since
the enactment of the Civil Serv-
ice law, more than so years ago,
that the Congress has under
taken to encrOach upon the jur-
isdiction of the Civil Service
Commission in the administra-
ton of that law, or to under
take by statutory enactment to
destroy the Civil Service status
and right to employment of a
group which had successfully
met and complied with the law
and the regulations of the Civil
Service Commission, with re-
spect to eligibility for partlcu-
lar type of employment"
The President has backed Sec
retary Morgenthau in a request
for a supplemental estimate OF
$1,739,827 TO be used to pay the
1.13O employees from December l,
1884, to June 30, 1885.

MRS. DAVIDSON
BURIED TODAY

NEW YORK, March 2 G.N.S).
The bcdy of Mrs. H. Bradley
Davidson, jr, 22-year-old heiress
to the Statler hotel millions, who
was found dead at Pinehurst, N.
c., under mysterious circum-
stances, arrived here today for
burial in Mt. Kisco Cemetery.
H. Bradley Davidson, jr., hus-
band of the heiress, made the
journey with the remains. Mrs.
Davidson was a bride of two
months.
Mr.. Davidson took exception to
the statement of District Solicitor
Roland Pruett at Pinehurst that
the death of Mrs. Davidson might
be the result of suicide, accident
or murder. He said:
"My wife's unfortunate death
is purely an accident. 1 am
satisfied when the investigation
is completed the authorities will
realize that. Mr.. and Mrs. Cur.
tis Campaign, who were our
house guests, will tell you Mrs.
Davidson was in an unusually
jOvial mood.
81 cannot account for the
body being in the garage except
that she must have had insOm-
MIA and gone there to take
drive, as she frequently did early
in the morning. 1t must have
been that she returned from a
trip and relaxed, not realizing
the deadly carbon mOnOxide
fumes were about herr"
Mrs. Davidson was an adopted
daughter of the late hotel mag
nate, E. M. Statler. She inherited
about $1,O00,O0O from his estate.
Mr.. Davidson will receive 500, 900
Of the fortune and a $4,000 an.

Revolt Quickly Crushed
on Land; Stiff Resistance
Encountered at Sea

ATHENS, March 2 G.N.S).
With heavy casualties already re.
corded government forces came
to grips today with rebellious naval
officers who seized five ships Of
the Greek fleet and launched a
revolt against the government of
Premier M. P. Tsaldaris.
Holding out bitterly despite
earlier defeat of army rebels soon
after insurgent elements in both
branches of the nations armed
forces attempted a coup d'etat,
the naval insurrectioniSts aboard
the captured warships clashed
with government airplanes in the
Sea of Gambia off Crete.
Rebel Ships Bombed
It was feared the death toll
in the revolt would mount into
the hundreds.
Bombing planes dispatched
from military and naval airports
overlook the rebel warships Aver
off and Mkt at sea. The latter
ship was hit by bombs and dis
abled.
The Averoff, however, put up
stiff resistance. Government
planes dropped two bombs but the
rebels replied with 100 rounds of
small cannon and machine-gun
fire. Casualties in this clash were
not known.
Army Revolt Crushed
Coincident with the Averoff's
resistance, the government Or

In Crib

Because a young destitute and
deserted mother was ill and had
been instructed by doctors not to
sleep with her four-month-old
daughter, the infant is dead to-
day-smothered to death in its
crib.
The victim was Pricilla Han.

Hannersly, %, of the 200 block C
st. N. w. Mrs. Hannersly recently
appealed to the Board of Public
Welfare for the crib, in which the
baby might sleep in safety.
UnaccuStomed to sleeping alone,
the baby cried last night. Mrs.
HannerSly thought her child had
finally cried herself to sleep, but
this morning she found her smoth-
cred beneath the crib blankets.

RELIEF DENIED
MARYLAND

All Federal aid for needy per-
sons in Maryland for March was
cut off by Administrator Harry
L. Hopkins today because the
State legislature failed to meet
his demand that the State raise
$65O,OOO as it's share of the relief
burden.
At the same time Mr.. Hopkins
announced grants to the District
totaling $4O7,56O and $917,19O to
Virginia.
In issuing the order that
dropped Maryland from the relief
roll, Mr.. Hopkins explained the
State can still get a March allot-
ment if it assumes the demanded
share fthe burden.

RACER MAKES
1873 MILES
IN TRIAL
Sir Malcolm Campbell Set
To Try for New Speed
Record in Blue Bird

OCEAN SPEEDWAY, DAY.
TONA BEACH, Fla, March 2
I.N.SO.-Sir Malcolm Camp
bell, holder of the worlds land
speed record, sent his Blue
Bird racer along the race
course here today at 1886
miles per hour in a trial run.
OCEAN SPEEDWAY, DAY
TONA BEACH, Fla, March 2
G.NS0.-Sir Malcolm Campbell'S
seven-ton Blue Bird racer was
on the ocean speedway here
today, preparatory for possible
attempt to set a new world land
speed mark.
Sir Malcolm's crew of mechan-
les wheeled the giant streamlined
machine onto the beach at 1925
a. M, E. S. T.
An oil truck began laying a
black stripe down the middle OF
the 12-mile beach course to guide
Sir Malcolm in his speed dash.
AS soon as the truck completed
it's work, shortly before noon,
Sir Malcolm was expected to
send his Blue Bird speeding down
the south course for a trial run.
First Use of Stripe
This is the first time that the
Britisher has used an oil stripe to
aid him in holding his machine
m the beach. In previous speed
runs he has used overhead oulIS-
eyes of red cloth.
Sir Malcolm, holder OF the
world land speed mark of 272.1O8
miles per hour, which he set here
two years ago, hopes to send his
Blue Bird racing over the 1O-mlle
beach course at a speed OF i've
miles minute.
The machine, he believes, IS
capable, under proper conditions,
of a speed of 335 miles an hour.
The Blue Bird is the same ma
chine Sir Malcolm has used in his
previous speed conquests, but is
powered with a new 2,500-horse-
power engine, perfected by the
British Government, and has had
safety features and dual rear
wheels added.
Sir Malcolm's decision to try
his luck again today came after
an inspection of the beach with
his American manager, William
Sturm. Although he toured the
course in a stock car, he would
not announce his plans until he
climbed into the Blue Bird and
tried it out over a portion of the
beach.
Record Try Due
If the machine functioned prop
erly and the beach seemed safe,
it was believed he would give it
the gun and go after new rec
ord.
Mr.. Sturm said that if Sir Nal

GROCERS B ACK
NEWFOOD BILL
international News Service


Hearings on the revised pure
food and drugs measure began
today before a subcommittee Of
the Senate Commerce Commit
tee headed by Senator Clark CD
of Missouri.
The bill, introduced by Sena-
tor Copeland CD of New York,
was endorsed by Charles w.
Dunn, of New York city, first
witness to appear before the
committee. He represented the
Association of Grocery Manufac-
turers of America, the American
Pharmaceutical Association, and
the National Association of Dog
Food Manufactures.
He opposed, however, transfer
of the jurisdiction of the false ad-
vertising provisions of the bill
from the Department of Agricul-
ture to the Federal Trade Commis-
sion. He argued that from the
standpoint of public health the
Department of Agriculture is bet
ter equipped to carry out the ad-
vertising clause.
He said:
"The Federal Trade Commits
sion has no scientific force and
is not equipped to deal with
such scientific matters as the
Department of Agriculture"
Lee Myers, vice president of the
Bristol-Myers Company, supported
the arguments of Mr.. Dunn and
proposed that legislation coordi-
mating State pure food legislation
with Federal legislation be written
into the bill.
