FRANCE FORCING
NICE INTO RACE
Governor May Be Forced to
Enter Primary to Hold
Grip.
snsc;al Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September 2l.-With
DR.. Joseph Irwin France sending up
trial balloons for the Republican pres
idential nomination, Governor Nice
NAV be forced to file his own candi-
dacy for the post if he expects to con-
troll Maryland's delegation to the next
G. o. p. convention, persons close to
the Governor revealed today.
Whether the Governor does so. In
the opinion of some persons close to
him, will depend on DR.. France. for
mer United States Senator. The lat
ter has moved toward announcing his
candidacy to the extent of drawing up
a party platform and declaring he will
fight for the nomination If his party
will not accept it.
The possibility of an acceptance is
considered remote. And for this rea-
son. Nice's friends believe, France will
file and the Governor will be forced
to do likewise.
Nice cannot afford, observers say,
to run the chance Of losing prestige
In his party. If France declares for
the presidency. the mere declaration
in many minds would place him above
the Governor as titular leader Of the
Maryland G. o. P.
In such an event the Governor
would lose political prestige at home.
The Nice adherents, furthermore,
have heard that France is being urged
to run by certain members Of the
party who opposed the Governor in
the primaries and still are unfriendly
toward him. Some Of these Republic
cans still are powerful, despite the
fact the Nice faction, through depo-
sition, Withholding Of patronage, and
other rebuffs, has gained ascendancy.
So the Governors adherents feel
that 1t is incumbent upon their leader
to place himself in the Maryland pri-
maries, both to prove his party lead
ership here and to accept the chal-
lenge laid down by his political
enemies.

BAN ON POLITICAL
| ACTIVITY SCORED
Hagner Says Ruling on Po-
lice Is Illegal Under Merit
System Code.
BY JACK ALLEN
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.

Stan correspondent OF Inc SChI'
BETHESDA, Nd, September al
The legality of the order passed by
the Fusion bloc controlling the Board
of Montgomery County Commissioners,
to prohibit county policemen from en-
easins In political activity, was
questioned today by Robert D. Hagner,
minority member Of the board.
Commissioner Hagner declared the
States civil service laws. under which
the force is maintained, specify that
no person employed under those
statutes shall be denied his or her
political privileges and added that he
would move to have the order re-
scinded when the board meets on
Tuesday.
Quotes Ruling.
"Rule At in the publication Merit
SYSTEM written by State Employment
Commissioner Oliver c. Short, clearly
states" Hagner said, that no demo-
ton or reduction in the rate OF COM
pensation shall be made in an en-
ploye's salary on account Of the en-
ploye's political or religious opinions
or affiliations or of his refusal to con-
tribute to a political fund or to render
political service.
Commissioner Hagner said that
under rule IS, Causes for Removal"
of the same book, a large number Of
conditions are listed al causes for re-
moval from the service. but no mention
whatever is made Of any political
activity as cause for suspension or
dismissal.
Holds Order Illegal.
THE order, therefore, is not legal
under my interpretations of the laws
and regulations, he asserted. II will
call the attention of the commission
ers to the laws on Tuesday and en-
deaver to have the order set aside.
'Inasmuch as all county employees
hold their positions as political ap-
pointees, it appears unfair to control
a persons right to engage in matters
of political interest. The members OF
the police force are taxpayers, the
same as other residents Of the county,
and are entitled to all the privileges
as such"
The order affecting the police was
adopted by the Fusion party bloc over
the objections Of Hagner and Richard
H. Lansdale, Democratic organization
members of the board, when 1t was
introduced by Commissioner Paul
Coughlan three days ago.
Had Attended Rally.
It was brought out at the meeting
that Coughlans attention had been
called to the presence of Detective
Sergt. Theodore Vollten at a Demo-
cratic rally in Bethesda.
Commissioner Coughlan stated that
the spirit of the bill by which the
police were placed under the merit
system was to remove the force from
politics and his order was in keeping
with that measure.

KING TOPUSHPLEA
FOR COURT ROOMS
To See President on p. w. A.
Loan for Judiciary Square
Buildings.

Chairman King of the Senate Dis
trict Committee will go to the White
House this week to bring to President
Roosevelt's attention the application
of the District for P. W. A. loan to
erect adequate buildings for the police.
Juvenile and Municipal Courts, in Jul
dietary Square.
Acting on authority given them by
the last session of Congress, District
officials already have applied for the
necessary $1,000, 900 loan for the court
structures Senator King has indicated
the main difficulties in the way of the
loan are the new rules limiting P. w.
A. allotments for the time being to
projects that can be completed within
a year and which will not exceed in
cost a certain average per man en-
ployed.
Delegated TO Push Efforts.
The Utah Senator, who has been
in favor of going ahead with the court
structures for some time, brought the
question to the attention Of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission Friday and was delegated
to make further efforts to obtain the
allotment. AS chairman of the Senate
Committee he is an ex-oficio member
of the park and planning body.
If P. w. A. funds should be made
available for the court structures the
District would be required by act OF
Congress to repay 70 per cent Of the
allotment and to set aside part OF
the city's annual tax collections in
separate fund to meet the reimburse
mentS.
Discussing District legislation gen.
orally, Senator King announced yes
terday that before Congress reconvenes
in January he will follow the same
course he pursued last year In going
over pending and proposed bills to
make an early start on any measures
that may appear urgent to District
officials at that time.
Got Quick Action on Some.
Senator King had nearly dozen
District bills ready for consideration
by the Senate Committee when Con-
gress met last year. This also made
it possible to get some of these bills
passed by the Senate before that body
became busy with national legislation.
Senator King also made known yes
terday that he has received a number
of complaints regarding the Summer
schedule of the District Supreme
Court, and its effect on the number Of
persons who remain in jail awaiting
trial. The Senator, who has indi-
Gated on previous occasions that he
believes the judges should shorten the
vacation period, said ne intends to
give the question further consideration.

DAVIS BACKS COAD'
ON RELIEF PLAN
Agrees on Proposal to Place
Responsibility on Polit-
iCaI Subdivisions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSs.
BALTIMORE, September 21.-Ex-
pressing the first Republican approval
Of the plan to have responsibility for
care Of unemployables left to the
political subdivisions of the State,
State Senator Wilmer r. Davis Of Car
oline County said today that he was
heartily in favor Of the idea.
The possibility of decentralizing
the relief burden was suggested last
week by Senator ]. Allan Coad, Demo-
crat. Of st. Marys, majority floor
leader and chairman Of the Senate
Finance Committee.
Senator Davis agreed with Senator
Coad's argument that the end Of State
care for jobless would save the cost
of the special session scheduled for
February.
Favors Whole Idea.
IT am heartily In favor Of the whole
idea" Senator Davis said I'D like to
see all sales taxes ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
receipts or retail sales taxes or any
thing like that. And If the counties
had to take care Of their own, they'd
be more careful about how many peo-
pie got on the relief lists"
Senator Davis was in Baltimore to
confer with State roads and Federal
relief officials in regard to repairs of
damage done in the fredericksburg Vi
cinity by the storm last week. He said
he had been successful In his confer
ences. He did not plan to see Gov.
Harry w. Nice, he said.
Returning to the subject of the care
of unemployables, he said that he
thought most counties would favor
caring for their own needy. Objec-
lions, he said, would come from those
areas where the relief load was very
heavy However, in his opinion the
advantages Of stricter supervision OF
relief clients and the saving OF the
cost of a special session would out
weight the difficulties of other coun-
ties.
Opposed in Baltimore.
Davis said that he would even favor
making towns responsible for their un-
employables, leaving to the counties
those In rural areas.
The arrangement suggested by Coad
has been preached before, but met
with opposition from Baltimore City.
More than half the State relief funds
are spent in Baltimore, and the county
people claim that Baltimore does not
pay more than half the gross sales tax,
which furnishes the funds. Baltimore.
on the other hand, asserts it pays
considerably more than half Of other
taxes levied.

KELSO, Wales, September al
Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville
Chamberlain told Conservative rally
here today that the nation must keep
its temper" meanwhile trusting that
italy will prove willing to assist in
maintaining peace in Europe.
He declared, however, that Great
Britain must "face realities and bring
her defensive strength UP to the mini
mum required for her own self
defense"
Britain, he said, Is greatly handi-
capped by the fact, the knowledge OF
which is quite widespread on the con-
tinent, that our defensive forces have
fallen to q dangerously low level.
THAT is not a tolerable situation
for a great country. If Great Britain's
words are to be listened to with re-
spect, If she is to make good any
obligations she might undertake, then
she must be recognized to be strong
enough to make good those words.
