WORCESTER, England, October 10.
Premier Stanley Baldwin, volcing
faith in the League of Nations, made
today what many interpreted to be
direct bid for the United States to
join the League.
Britain's leader told his political
constituents that the failure CT the
League to end the war in Africa would
not mean the end of the League itself.
Il would say rather" he asserted.
that if this first attempt by the
world to secure peace fails, let us see
whether our machinery or whether
our work may have been at fault; let
us try again and let us see once more
whether we cannot get those still out
side the League to join the League"
Baldwin made direct appeal to
Italy to understand that Britain's op-
position to the Ethiopian campaign Is
motivated solely" by concern for
world peace, rather than any hostility
toward Italy or a desire to overthrow
fascism.
Striking while the iron is hot in the
wake of an apparent easing of Anglo
Italian tension in Rome, Baldwin de-
clared the time is long past Then
Britain would seek by arms or any
other method to overthrow the form
of government existing in any
country"

East Africa and that Rome will con-

to have in it the threat Of war. But
the assurances yesterday to him by
Sir Eric Drummond, the British Am
bassador, that Britain intended only
collective action, quieted somewhat the
fears of a blockade.
Negotiations now, said well-informed

Britain would withdraw much of its

Surprised 0ne-Year Rule
Has Been Overlooked.

Word that Allan Rowe, Columbus,
Ohio, insurance man, was being ac-
lively advanced to succeed Postmaster
William M. Mooney, whose term ex-
pires February S, was received yester-
day with wonderment, not unmixed
with resentment, IN local. Democratic
circles.
The surprise was occasioned because
Of the residential requirement for
postmasters set up in the Executive
order governing such appointments
no person shall be examined for
postmaster who has not actually re-
sided within the delivery of the Office
for which application is made, for one
year next preceding such date"
The antagonism was stirred by
seemingly we'll founded rumors that
other candidates. of the same charac-
ter as Rowe's were in the background,
prompting speculation as to whether
pressure was to be brought to revise
appointive procedure.
Limit Of Eligibility.
AS the matter StanoS r1gnt now,
only a bona fide one-year resident
of Washington or a Maryland or Vir-
ginia suburb served from the Wash
ington Office, would be eligible for
the post unless it should be filled from
the ranks OF the competitive classi-
fled service-always provided, of
course, that Mooney is not reap
pointed, which is being taken for
granted.
The residence requirement does not
hold for appointments from within
the Federal service, which are made
without examination, and amount to
promotion.
The residence clause first was in
voked by presidential order in the
Wilson administration and has been
followed since without break. Other
changes have been made from time to
time. President Roosevelt effected
some more than two years ago, but
left this provision untouched.

The city had already counted two

not seriously, as it began caring for
the refugees and clearing debris.
Several Fires Extinguished.
A few small blazes in debris piles
quickly were extinguished tonight. The
fire department answered three false

as smooth as silk.
Thirty-five National Guardsmen

degree of intensity have been recorded
since 9:47 last night when the severe
quake rolled the city.

S8,317,500 and continuation of the
present realty tax rate of s150, the
Commissioners last night filed with
the Budget Bureau official estimates
for the next fiscal year totaling Sat-
482, ,760.
The 1887 estimates, formulated
after many weeks of study of needs
accumulated during past years Of
economy, would represent an increase
of s5.276,145 over actual appropri-
ations for the present year.
Even so, the Commissioners slashed
nearly s8,000,000 from the grand
total of s55,472,951 requested by de-
partment heads. In that process.
many large items regarded as more
than justified by needs were cast over
