MRS. JOHNSON
TO LECTURE

Mrs. Martin johnson, famous
for motion picture explorations
conducted in Borneo and Africa
with her late husband who lost
his life in an airplane accident
near Los Angeles, is scheduled to
lecture in Washington tonight in
Constitu u ton Hall under the
auspices of the National Geogra-
phic Society.
The lecture will deal with the
latest Borneo expedition and will
be illustrated with motion pictures
showing the thrilling experiences
of the JohnSonS in the Borneo
jungleS.
Having been injured seriously
in the Los Angeles plane crash,
Mrs. johnson only recently left
the hospital to conduct a series Of
lectures which had been arranged
for before the accident occurred.
She is giving the lectures in a
wheelchair.
MES. Johnson's first public ap-
pearance alone was made at
Wichita, Kansas, on March /. She
has lecture dates for nearly every
day during March. Mrs. johnson
and her husband gave natives Of
Borneo their first taste Of ice
cream, made in the kerosene
operated Electrolux refrigerator
which was part of the scientific
equipment that brought modern
conveniences to the members of
the expedition. This refrigerator
is exactly the same as the Electro
lux refrigeratorS in more than
$4,000 Washington homes except
that it was converted to use
kerosene instead Of gas.

realize that the process of collective
bargaining, as usually understood,
cannot be transplanted into the pub
lie service. It has its distinct and
insurmountable limitations when ap-
piled to public personnel manage
ment. The very nature and purposes
OF Government make it impossible for
administrative officials to represent
fully or to bind the employer in mu-
tual discussions with Government
employe organizations. The employer
is the whole people, who speak by
means Of laws enacted by their rep
resentatives in Congress. Accordingly,
administrative officials and employees
alike are governed and euided, and
In many instances restricted, by laws
which establish policies, procedures or
rules In personnel matters.
Militant Tactics" Hit.
Particularly, I want to emphasize
my conviction that militant tactics
have no place in the functions of any
organization Of Government employees.
Upon employees in Federal service
rests the obligation to serve the whole
people, whose interests and welfare
require orderliness and continuity in
the conduct of Government activities.
This obligation is paramount. Since
their own services have to do with
the functioning OF the Government,
strike OF public employees manifests
nothing less than an intent on their
part to prevent or obstruct the oper-
atoms Of Government until their de-
mards are satisfied. Such action,
looking toward the paralysis Of Gov
eminent by those who have sworn
to support It, is unthinkable and In

HENDAYE. Franco-Spanish From
tier, September 6 (Pl.-Government
lines tightened today around the band
of insurgents besieged in Belchite Ca
thedral, 20 miles south of Zaragoza,
as government batteries poured shells
into the Cathedral tower to silence the
last opposition in the strategic Aragon
village.
Except for the cathedral and the
nearby square, officials said the gov
ernment was in complete possession
Of Belchite and that its forces were
pushing on westward to attempt sew
erance Of insurgent communications
between Zaragoza and Teruel.
terse insurgent communique dis
puted government claims to possess
sion OF Belchite. The government
said it had conquered 270 square
miles and taken several towns in the
Aragon drive.
On the northwest front the town OF
Llanes, Is miles east of Gijon, on the
Biscayan Coast, fell before the insur-
gent advance aimed at wiping out the
last government resistance in the
northwest.
Government troops took up new
positions further west in an effort to
slow up the drive toward Gijon.

ton proposed by the United Fed

ing Of qualification, that I have noted
in the constitution of the National
Federation Of Federal Employees the
provision that under no circumstances
shall this federation engage in or sup
port strikes against the United States
Government"
Stewards attack on spoilsmen was
incorporated in his annual report
which disclosed that the federation
unsuccessfully had urged President
Roosevelt to veto the Wagner housing
bill because of the personnel pro-
visions.
Congress" he said, reached new
all-time low for undermining the
merit principal in the Federal service
creating new agencies with personnel
specifically exempted from the pro-
visions of the civil service laws and
regulations, materially extending the
requirement for presidential appoint
ment and senatorial confirmation Of
positions hitherto within the appoint
ing power of departmental and inde-
pendent agency heads and open for
promotion from the ranks, eliminating
with the enactment Of the Wagner
housing bill, which establishes q per-
manent agency and exempts from the
provisions of civil service laws and
regulations all personnel receiving in
excess of $3.50 per annum. The
placing of such low ceiling on the
possibility of attainment Of promotion
through merit constitutes such q
dangerous innovation that Immediately
upon the passage of both houses OF

President to veto the bill"

LONDON, September 6.--An un-

pirates as diplomats today hastened an

that every Conoco dealer either
