MEN GOT
 JOBS DURING MAY

Washington. June 22-(UP)-The department of labor reported today that 88,000 workers were returned to employment during May. Weekly payrolls increased $6,700,00o during the period.
 Secretary Frances Perkins termed the statistics most unusual" be- cause May normally shows an em- uployment and payrool decrease be- cause of seasonal declines.
 Comparing May, 1886, with the same month last year, employment increased 650,000 persons and pay rools were up approximately $36,- 000, 900 weekly.
 The statistics showed that fac tory employment, contrary to the seasonal movement, rose in May.
 Private building construction anthracite mining, quarrying, dyeing and cleaning, and metal mining in- dustries all recorded gains.
 Declines came in the fertilizer in- dustry, cotton seed oil-cake-meal, millinery. and mems clothing.

 Philadelphia, June 22-(UP)-Th' democrats of the nation, acting al only democrats can when assembled to sit in solemn session, held a three thirds, four-fourths, and ten tenths rule over this city today.
 In show of daring which hasn't been matched since their 1776 pre- decessors gave off the declaration of independence, the Philadelphia city fathers turned the town over to the thousands of democratic dele gates and visitors. The boys and girls accepted the keys to the city and immediately began unlocking things.
 Philly Very Gay
 Philadelphia hasn't looked so gay since the Athletics won the pen- nant back in the late 'twenties. Every lamp post and fire hydrant in the town has on a two-pants suit of bunting, trolley cars and busses are dressed up like Aunt Min nie for a funeral, and even the cops have haircuts.
 Out of every hotel window sticks a flag-and Q delegate. And they're betting even money the delegates outlast the flags becaues of the sundown rule which makes 1t ille- gal to fly a flag after dark. Dele gates, of course, didn't really start flying until the sun goes down.

AMBASSADOR OF
 ITALY APPROVED

Washington, June 22-(UP)-The state department today approved the appointment of Fulvio Suvich to be Italian ambassador to this coun- try, succeeding Augusta Rosso.
 Although the new Italian envoy to America will receive his appoint ment in the name of "the king of Italy and emperor of Ethiopia" his acceptance here will not constitute American recognition of Musso- lini's conquest of the former em- pire of Halle Selassie, 1t was said authoritatively.
 It was learned that before the state department offered agree ment" to Suvich's appointment, in- formal conservations took place as result of which 1t was understood that acceptance of the new embassa- dor would not constitute recogni- ton of Italian rule over Ethiopia.

BURGLARS MISS
 S8,0OO IN LOOT
Broke Into Albert's Store But Failed to Crack
 Huge Safe

Burglars who early yesterday morning attempted to crack the safe at Albert's Furniture com pany, 268 South Main street, would have made away with several thousand dollars in cash had they been successful in their efforts, 1t was disclosed today. Samuel Albert, secretary of the company, said Sat- urday,s receipts had been particu- larly heavy due to the influx Of money to the city as result of the payment of the soldiers bonus.
 Apparently frightened away from the safe before they could complete the break, or discouraged in their attempts to pry open the heavy iron door, the thieves abandoned their tools and fled. A pinch bar and a screw driver used in batter ing the combination were found ly- ing near the safe. Both tools are believed to have been taken from the premises. The screw driver, company officials said, has been identified as company property.
 Entrance From Rear
 Entrance was gained, according to Chief Inspector Joseph P. Stevens. of the detective bureau, through a window, leading into the storehouse in the rear of the building. The hinges of the window had been url- and the glass removed. The store employees no watchman and the break was discovered early yes- terday morning, according to police, by company executive who went to the store, as is his custom on morning, to make check Of the premises. Found lying in front of the battered safe was the pinch bar and the screw driver. A handle had been broken off one Of the heavy double doors and the com bination had been battered.
 Investigation Is On
 Motor Patrolman Joseph Garvey was sent to the ofIice from police headuuarters after the break had been reported and Detective Lieu tenant William Pollard and Detec- i've Joseph Bendler were assigned o the investigation later by Captain Stevens.
 The safe is described by police as being particularly large and heavy, apparently impossible to open in he manner tried by the burglars. While neither police nor company officials would disclose the amount of money 1t contained 1t was learn sd from another source that approx mately $8,000 was in the safe.

 Urged Smith to Come
 At least one New York state dele gate urged Smith to come to thu convention but all indications wer. that he would rest his case witl the telegram dispatched to dele gates by Smith, former Governor Joseph Ely, former Senator James Reed, Bainbridge Colby and Daniel Cohalan. Should he change his mind and come to Philadelphia, however, National Chairman James A. Farley promised him a hearing "just like any other delegate" There were at least two factors in the platform monopoly controversy.
 These were a desire to win the ap- plause of those who supported Sen. William E. Borah's fight for .

 Dublin, June 22-(UP)-The Irish people ask now and have asked dur ing the years that I have been in public life for one thing only, that their sovereign right to govern themselves in their own land with out interference should be recog- nized and unequivocably acknowl- edged by Great Britain.
 This recognition given, the past can be put aside and the govern ment of the Irish nation will be free to consider with the government of the neighboring island, in the spirit of cooperation and good will and with 8 firm purpose to find a mutually beneficial solution, all the problems they may have in common including such questions as na- tional defence.
 The one cause of enmity in the past has been Britain's endeavor to force its rule upon a nation that wanted, and knew 1t had the right, to rule itself.
