Americans, each having won the two
gold medals thus far
Detsuo Hamuro of Japan won the
first of five heats in the mems 200
meter breast stroke preliminaries and
set up new Olympic record of 2:42.5.
The former recrd of 2449 was set in
a trial heat of the 1882 Olympics by
Reozo Koike.
Mrs. Hills victory in the diving
championship offered little excitement
to the crowd of 5000 who sweltered
under hot sun. 1t was apparent al
most from the outset that the Los
Angeles star would take the top place
unless she fell off the platform.
She scored 781. 836, 936 and SAC
points, respectively, for the four dives
which were swan dive from 5 meters

drinking heavily and having affairs
with prominent film and business
men.
Confidence of the agreements ap-
proval by Superior Judge Goodwin j.
Knight-his rebuke cut short the
series of disclosures at the trial-was
expressed by all the attorneys.
Joseph Anderson, DR.. Thorpe's at
torney. and Roland Rich Woolley,
counsel for Miss Astor, said:
The division Of time in which each
parent will have the baby is based on
school semesters, vacation periods and
holidays. They will divide the Christ
mas vacation time.
We've been very liberal on the
matter of time that the other side
may have the baby"
The whereabouts of Miss Astor's
diary will forever remain mystery"
added Anderson. 1T is a part of the
agreement that no one, save the liti-
gants, their counsel and the court,
will ever know what became Of that
diary"
The diary has been in possession
of DR.. Thorpe since he divorced Miss
Astor last year. His attorneys made
strenuous efforts to introduce it in
evidence.
Anderson said the diary contained
detailed accounts, punctuated with
Miss Astor's thoughts and philosophy,
about her friendship with an assort-
ment of prominent men.
Cross-examined, Miss Astor denied
she was intimate with George S
kaufman. playwright ana missing
witness in the case.
Judge knight declared bench war;
rant issued when kaufman failed to
appear will hang over the playwright s
head and If he can be cited before
me I'll sentence him to jail"
DR.. Thorpe said:
I'm glad this litigation is all over
but as for being happy about tht
settlement-well, no. How could be?
Miss Astor reserved comment.

PLAN T0CUT
BUREAUS
BY ]. EARLE MOSER


Announcement Of the Senate
committee that is to investigate
possibilities of reducing the Gov
ernment service by abolishment Of
its overlapping bureaus has not
exactly thrown Government per-
sonnel leaders into fearful hysteria
because the move was expected
but it is certain that cam
paign of very watchful waiting
will be pursued for the next sew
eral months.
The principal concern Of clerk
organizations is that the reorgan-
ization provide a square deal to
personnel, and their principal fear
is that the project might ultt-
mately develop into another devaS-
tating and unreasonable economy
wave such as developed the Is per
cent pay cut, marriage clause"
and many other restrictive but un-
productive measures.
E. Claude Babcock, American
Federation of Government En-
ployes leader who has consistently
warned against the oncoming
economy drive, has issued the fol-
lowing comment in regard to the
situation:
The establishment Of the
Senate Economy Committee is
by no means unexpected. An
economy drive has been in for
nation for some months, in
spired by the Liberty League,
National Economy League, and
similar organizations, and this
development was undoubtedly
something most Government
employees have looked for.
"The same. thing happened
three years ago. At that time Sc
we're reOrganizatiOnS were ef-
fected in the Government serv-
ice, with resulting hardship to
. large number Of Government
employees. Naturally, there will
be considerable apprehension
lest this occur again."
"1n particular, we are con-
cerned with the vital necessity
for eliminating the sort Of thing
that occurred three years ago
"a fictitious removal of Civil
Service status and protection
from employees Of agencies which
were to be reOrganized. This pro-
cedure was not only unfair but
extremely destructive to the
morale in the Government SER
vice, and we hope reOrganiza-
tiOnS can be effected without
any duplication of this extremely
serious menace to Government
efficiency.
1--WE are not in the least Op.
posed to any measures that will
tend to eliminate duplication of
effort in the Government service
and we are vitaIIy interested in
the maintenance Of Government
efficiency. However, we feel that
such economy measures as may
be necessary should be under
taken in the most humane spirit
possible, and toward that end we
believe an excellent selection has
been made in the Senate ap-
pOintees to the committee"
