favorable response among pubic

Layne is a member OF an exc
cutive committee appointed by the
association at its Fresno conVen-
tiQn last october to conduct a
campaign to make civil service
universal in public employment IN
California.
The first step of the committee,
he said, was to send letters to en-
ployes of governmental units not
now having civil service, urging
they support the proposed meas
ure. The next step, if the response
is favorable, will be to circulate
petitions for an initiative vote on
the law at the November election.
1t is the purpose of the law to
place under the merit system every
governmental employa except mem
berS of legislative bodies OF gov

Japanese Army Leaders
Protest Cabinet Choice

papermen:
THE new cabinet must assume
the fullest responsibility for effect
ing reforms as regards the national
defense and other measures, in
order to cope with the emergency.
The cabinet must be positive one,
not a timid one. Retrogression can
not save the situation.
This was interpreted to mean
that Terauchi would not accept his
portfolio unless Hirota changed the
prospective cabinet list.
AS the new obstacles arose to
formation of a cabinet satisfactory
to all interests, Gen. Yoshiyuki Ka-
Washima, minister of war in the
outgoing cabinet of Premier Kei-
suke Okada, asked that he and five
other high generals be put on the

Judged by troop leaders on the

Yuma is making active prepara-

CHICAGO, Ill, March 6. (U.R)-
Republican party officials from 10
midWestern states today decided
to direct their campaign attack

abandoning the term New Deal as
their target.
The two day conference here IS
the first of a series planned by
Harrison E. Spangler, director OF

quarters covering 90 states.
Summing up the decision TO at
tack the president himself during
the campaign Spangler said:
I'VE have found that many per
sons still believe that Roosevelt
himself is all right but is being
led astray by the brain trusters.
That is conception which We
must overcome.
1.-The president personally select
ed his brain trust. He has changed
it from time to time. All the acts
of his administration were directed
personally by him and he cannot
escape personal responsibility II
this campaign. We intend to bring
the facts of his conduct and us

illegal wearing a naval uniform,
emphatically denied that he had
divulged any naval secrets obtain
ed in visiting battleships anchored
off San Pedro, it was said. Thomp-
son is being held under $4,000
bail, an unusually high bond in
such cases.
His former roommate, Willard

the recent Epic convention which
decided to put its own slate into

Il have not studied the list of
men and women chosen by the

but | take it for granted the
convention realized the serious
ness of this responsibility.
This is not game or a horse

"Epics should remember this rs
they campaign these next few
weeks for the Epic principle. I
