The dangerous game that Reichs.
fuehrer Hitler is playing in the
Spanish civil war has only an out.
side chance of exploding into a
general European war in the near
future, in the opinion of military
experts and foreign diplomats
here.
Their calm in the face of the
new crisis over German infiltra-
ton into Spanish Morocco is based
on the conviction European pow
ers will stretch their patience to
the breaking point to prevent war,
and that Nazi Germany is far from
being prepared yet to risk a ma.

FROM THE REPORT
Place the whole governmental
administrative service on a ca
reer basis and under the merit
system by extending the Civil
Service upward, outward and
downward to include all non
policy determining positions and
jobs.
Government cannot be any
better or more efficient than
the men and women who work
in it.
This administrator (CiviI Serv.
ice) would devote his attention
not only to giving Civil Service
examinations, recruiting, claSsi-
flying, etc, but even more to
finding able people who can be
brought into the Government
especially on the lower rungs of
career ladders, to discovering
able persons in the service, and
to seeing that they get training
and opportunities for promotion,
and generally to advance the
merit system and the career
idea.
1t is pointed out that many
people are now leaving the Gov
ernment for industry because
Government does not offer a
satisfactory career.
Top posts both in and out Of
the Civil Service are underpaid,
and there is no systematic pro-
vision for transfer and advance
ment in the service.

During the lull in hostilitieS
after daybreak, strikers inside and
outside the plant busted them
selves by piling up mounds of
scrap metal and other material
that could be used for "ammuni-
tion" should trouble start up
again.
The governor said:
Law and order will be main
tanned in Michigan"
CAPTAIN IN WAR
He was captain during the
World War. AS he spoke, 400
National Guardsmen, ready to
seize arms and proceed to the
scene of the riot if necessary,
waited in the armory here, and
guardSmen from other cities were
on the move.
Governor Murphy quickly
squelched reports efforts would be
made to evacuate the strikers from
Fisher Body Plant No. 2 where the
battle was staged.
He said:
"My purpose is not to eVict
the strikers; but merely to pre-
serve law and order.
TAKES NO SIDES
"The State will not be drawn
into this fight. The State will
not take sides. Because of the
disturbance last night, it became
my duty to act"
The Governor refused to tell
how many troopers were called.
"An adequate number" was all
he would say.
During the riot, which began at
$50 o'clock outside the Fisher
Body plant where sit-downerS have
been for the last two weeks, police
poured gas and pistol shot into a
shouting mob of several hundred.
Sit-downers locked doors of the
plant preventing police from enter
ing, and turned fire hoses on 80
policemen and deputy Sheriffs.
It was the first time gunplay &C.
Cured since a series of strikes hit
General Motors plants.
At 1890 o'clock, ambulances
had carried 16 wounded to Hurley
Hospital, cars had been overturned
in the streets and scores nurSed
sore knuckles and body bruises.
A half hour later, the fighting
started again, and for is minutes
it ragged.
Governor Called
Flint police hastily telephoned
Governor Murphy in the State
capital at Lansing,
The Governor quickly summoned
Col. John S. BerSey, commander
of the National Guard, and Oscar
G. Olander, commander of the
State police, and together with
other State police executives, they
drove Immediately to Flint and
went to the Durant Hotel.
There, Sheriff Thomas Wolcott,
cut on the head by a flying brick

outlined the situation. H..

Samuel Morse, inventor of the
electric telegraph, had only one
ambition as a young man and that
was to become an artist. He stud
led under Washington Allston,
then the greatest painter in the
United States, and with Allston
went to London in 1911. There he
met Benjamin West who, although
an American, was president of the
Royal academy, and great ia

made him Sir Benjamin West.
