Several New YORK. beauty parlors

canoes of salacious gossip. And the
source of much vicious scandal
that so often assalls those classed
as celebrities. In these salons oper-
ators are selected as much for vol
ubility in "dishing the dirt" as for
their cosmetic skill. In some in
stances stories that have rocked the
town have been traced to such
sources. There is little that can be

further comment.
Shortly before his press conference
Hull received Ambassador Wang of
China. The Ambassador said their
conversation dealt only with an ex-
change of information on military OPP
erations in Shanghai. He said the
neutrality law was not discussed.
Marine Corps officials said it had
not been determined definitely what
part OF the fleet Marine force at San
Diego would go to Shanghai.
1t was considered likely the contin-
gent might be taken from the I'd Bri-
sade of Brig. Gen. John Beaumont.
Maj. Gen. L. M Little is commanding
general of the fleet force at San Diego.
Hull said the Marines would be dis
patched on transport ship and that
no plans had been made so far to
have convoy accompany the ship
The secretary also said that no plan
had been discussed so far to increase
the Asiatic Fleet.
The neutrality law which President
Roosevelt might put into effect was
enacted April 90. 1t stipulates that
whenever the President shall find
that there exists state of war" be-
tween the nations, he shall proclaim
such fact"
That action would place an auto
matte embargo against shipments of
arms, munitions and implements of
war" from this country to China or
Japan and would prohibit travel by
United States citizens on ships OF those
nations.
Some observers have contended in
vocation of the act would affect China
more than Japan because of the diff
ference In trade volume to those ma
tons. Others expressed the opinion
Japan might resent such formal recog-
milton of the conflict. Neither nation
has issued declaration of war.

OF the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee said yesterday Mr.. Roosevelt
was well within his discretionary
powers" in failing to apply the neu-
trality act.

Crosley wrote that an application for
5O0,000-watts power on a regular basis

the experiment had already demon

GROUP APPROVES
REORGAN|z|NC BILL
Special Senate Committee
Recommends Modified
Measure Be Passed,
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
A special Senate committee rec
commended today enactment of modi-
ned legislation to reorganize the
executive branch of the Government.
Leaders said they planned to place
the revamped measure on the Senate
calendar for action at the next ses-
sion.
The proposal would give the Presi-
dent power, for three years, to trans
Ter. consolidate or abolish govern
mental bureaus. except independent
regulatory agencies.
1t would expand the civil service
70 cover several thousand new Jobs,
and would reorganize the Civil Serv-
ice administrator
The General Accounting Office
would be abolished. Its pre-audit
functions would be transferred to the
buoget Bureau and its postaudit duties
turned over to general auditing
ONCE, responsible to a Joint congress
sional committee.
The bill would create a new cabinet
post, Secretary of Public Welfare. and
would rename the Interior Depart
ment the Department of Conservation
IL would authorize appointment of
SIX administrative assistants to the
President.
Inc senate measure goes far beyond
reorganization legislation passed last
FRIDAY by the House. The House
Dill did not touch on abolition of
the General Accounting Office or the
expansion and revamping of the civil
service. 1t also limited the Presidents
power to transfer, consolidate and
abolish agencies to two, instead of
three years
Under the bill, the President could
fhlft all or part of any agency of the
executive branch of the Government,
except those specifically EXEMPTED to
any other department and prescribe
the functions of the reorganized de-
|partment. He could also abolish Gov
eminent agencies altogether, EXCEPT
those exempted.
nc could not abolish entirely any
caolnet position, and he could not dis
turo any of the functions of such
regulatory. agencies as the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Also immune from transfer or abol-
1shment by presidential order would be
the municipal government of the Dis
trlct OF Columbia, the Board of Gov
errors OF the Federal Reserve System
and the proposed auditing Office.
