MARYLAND ALSO
BARS D. c. GUARD
Encampment Will Have to
Be at Camp Sims,
Colonel Decides.

The Maryland State Board of Health
today blocked plans of the District
National Guard to stage maneuvers
next week at Camp Ritchie, Cascade
Nd, selected by the Guardsnen after
they and Virginia troops had beer
barred from the major militia maneu-
vers in Pennsylvania because of the
prevalence of infantile paralysis.
Word of the new ban was received
today by Col. John w. Oehmann, act
ing commanding officer Of the District
of Columbia militia. He met the
exigency by declaring the local Guards
men would hold their encampment at
Camp Sims, near Congress Heights, in
the District.
The sudden shift in the revised
plans will necesSitate hasty revision
of many detailed arrangements made
for the care of the District Guards
men at Camp Ritchie.
Col. Oehman said he believed the
District camp, which is the target
range for the local militia. would
prove adequate in size. Eight hun
dred or more Guardsmen had plan
ned to participate In the maneuvers
Word of the attitude of the Maryland
Board of Health reached Col Oehman
by an indirect route.
Gen. Milton A. Reckord, command
ing general of the 2Sth Division OF
the National Guard, of which the Dis
trict unit Is part, was told today IN
Baltimore the State Board Of Health
was about to issue an order banning
D. C. troops, according to word re-
ceived here.
Gen. Reckord is said to have re-
quested that the order be not issued,
that he would advise the D. G. Guard
not to go to Camp Ritchie.
Col. Oehmann understood the
Maryland action applied to Virginia
Guardsmen as well as to the District.
This development came today as
Dr.. George C. Rihland, District health
officer, was reporting that there now
are but five active cases of poliomye-
litis in the District.
The War Department complied to-
day with q request from Gov. Earle
of Pennsylvania that troops from Vir-
ginia and the District of Columbia
be barred from First Army man
euvers at Mount Gretna.

Hoover Discusses

With Party Heads
Darid Reed, Theodore

at Hotel Suite.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August l3.-The Re
publican course in the 1886 campaign
is being discussed by former President
Herbert Hoover in talks with party
leaders in the East, the Associated
Press was informed today.
One of the visitors to his Park ave-
nue. hotel suite this morning was Col
Theodore Roosevelt.
I'VE discussed politics" Col. Roose-
welt said. "in its broadest aspects. We
talked about matters of Republican
policy in SO"
Did you discuss candidacies?'
Roosevelt was asked.
''Emphatically no."
While the former President. since
his arrival in New York. has steadily
refused to amplify his remarks in Chi
cago-in which he set forth constitu-
tional preservation as SO issue-it is
known that numerous party leaders
have conferred with him.
One such leader said privately:
Mr.. Hoover is seeing his personal
friends in the East And most Of these
happen to be political leaders So you
can safely assume most of the dis
cussion is political"
In addition to Col Roosevelt, II
was reported Mr.. Hoover had con-
ferred with Ogden Mills, Secretary OF
the Treasury in his administration
and former Senator David Reed OF
Pennsylvania.
Lawrence Richey, the former Presi-
dents White House secretary, refused
either to affirm or deny these reports

COMPROMISE OUT,
ROME IS INFORMED
Il Duce Reported to Have
Outlined UnyieIding Policy
for ParIey.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME, August 13.-Informed cir
cles described Italy's policy today in
the forthcoming tri-power conference
on the Ethiopian situation as one OF
mo compromise"
These sources said Premier Musso-
lini outlined this policy yesterday in
discussions with his aides and officials
who will attend the Paris converse
tions. beginning Thursday, with rep
resentatives Of Great Britain and
France.
It was said that Italy will neither
abate her demands for definite
settlement Of her dispute with Ethi-
opia nor give further heed to sug-
gestions Of compromise which involve
concessions on her part.
In the light of this policy, an eff.
cial announcement In the weekly re-
view Affariesteri was regarded as not
presenting the point of view of the
foreign office. This was considered
significant.
Peaceful Settlement Policy.
1t was suggested that the pointed
declaration of policy was made to pre-
vent the article in the review wnich
suggested possibilities for peaceful set
tlement Of the Italo- Ethiopian dis
pute, from being accepted as author
itative. ",
What is generally regarded as Italy's
reluctance to create an atmosphere Of
hostility in advance of the Paris talks
was believed accountable for the press
moderate tone today in its comment on
Great Britain's attitude In the East
African conflict.
Informed circles heard that this less
petulant position was adopted at the
suggestion Of France.

BILLS WIN
FAVORABLE ACTION
in SENATE BODY
Civil Service Committee
Sees Chance for Pas
sage Soon.
THREE AMENDMENTS
MINOR IN CHARACTER
Return to House Necessary, but
Little Delay Is Con.
templated
BY ], A. OIEARY.

The Senate Civil Service Commit
tee took favorable action today on the
two Government leave bills passed by
the House last week.
One restores annual leave from Is
to 80 days. as it existed before the
economy act of 1882, and the other
reduces sick leave from 80 to Is days
a year. Unusued leave under either
bill Is cumulative to l20 days.
Senator Bulow, Democrat, OF South
Dakota, chairman, announced the COM
mittee's action was unanimous, max
ing the prospects bright for final en-
actment Of both measures before ad-
journment Senate leaders plan to
have at least one more call of the
unanimous consent calendar before
adjournment, at which time the leave
bills would be considered, or it would
be possible to ask unanimous consent
for their consideration at some other
time.
Minor Amendments Made.
The Senate group made three minor
amendments, which will make it nee
essary for the bills to 60 back to the
House, but there are no indications
that the changes will delay final en-
actment.
One amendment includes employees
of mail equipment shops in the group
of postal workers to whom the bills
will apply.
Another change, made at the re-
quest of the War Department, ex-
cludes officers and employees in the
Panama Canal Zone, for whom special
annual and sick leave arrangements
were made a number of years ago by
executive order.
A third change is merely to make
sure that the bills will apply to any
employees of the regular Government
departments who may be sent on de-
tails outside Of the United States.
Government workers had 80 days OF
annual leave for many years prior to
the economy act of 1892 and support
ers Of the pending legislation have ex-
pressed the belief that the time has
come to 90 back to the normal ar
rangement.
Leave Problems Considered.
During consideration of the bills In
the House it was emphasized that II
a Government employe has to take
one day of to attend funeral or for
some similar necessity, it must be
charged against his annual leave, and
thereby further reduce the present Is
days available annually for vacation
Attention also has been called to the
fact that many Government employees
In Washington come from distant
States and If they desire to go home
a large part of their 15-day vacation
is used in travelling back and forth.
The present law places no limitation
on the accumulation of unused an
nual leave. The pending measure
limits the cumulative feature to 100
days. Provision also is made for COM
pensatory leave for overtime work
Temporary employees would be granted
leave at the rate of 21a days for each
month of service.
The sick leave bill. although re-
ducing the number of days from 80 to
Is. leaves some discretion with ad-
ministrative officers in cases of serious
illness.

.LONGREADYTOR
AS INDEPENDENT
But, He Tells Senators, He
Might Support a Repub-
IiCan Nominee.

Copyright, 1865, by the Associated Press
Senator Long. Democrat. of Louisi-
ana has told colleagues in the Sen
ate that he has decided definitely to
run for the Democratic presidential
nomination in 1896.
He told them, furthermore, that If
President Roosevelt was renominated.
he would run as an independent, un-
less the Republicans nominated some
one he could support.
Longs plans were reported to the
Associated Press today by several
Senators with whom he talked. The
Louisianan, however, refused to dis
cuss them, saying he had no COM
ment. He did say. though, that if he
ran. it would not be to beat Roose-
velt." but to elect himself
Republican Senators in whom Long
confided were elated. They felt his
decision was big break" for the
G. o. p, and might swing the cleo
ton their way. For a long time
many Republicans have felt they could
win if Long would run to take "radi-
cal" votes away from the Democrats.
La Toilette Result Recalled.
One Western Republican Senator,
whose State has gone Democratic in
the past two elections, said there
was no doubt it would go Republican
today, If Long should run. He said
the Louisianan would easily take
enough votes from the Democrats to
deliver the States electoral ballots
to the Republicans, as La Toilette
did in 1924.
Long told his senatorial colleagues
that he would enter many of the
State primaries and give President
Roosevelt as much of a battle at the
convention as possible. He said if
the President was renominated he
would then decide whether to run in
dependently or join forces with the
Republicans.
If the President should be opposed
by former President Hoover, or some
one of that type, Long said he would
run independently. He predicted he
would take such States as Louisiana.
Arkansas. Texas, Mississippi, Georgia
and Florida away from the Democrats.
But Long added, his colleagues said,
that If the Republicans should nomi-
nate Borah, or some one of that kind,
he would Jump party lines and throw
