PRESIDENT ASKS
5DAY WEEK STUDY
Requests Civil Service CON-
mission to Inquire Into
Costs of System.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PTeSS.
The Civil Service Commission Is
trying to ascertain, at President
Roosevelts request, what increase in
Government costs would result from
a 5-day work week for all Federal
employees.
Persons familiar with present con-
ditions estimated about $4,000 to
100000 of the 848,243 Federal en-
ployes would be affected.
More than 100000 postal employees
already are on 5-day week. as are
workers in several other bureaus.
Duties of some other groups. such
as Forest Service workers, would not
make a shorter week feasible.
The majority of Federal employees
in Washington have 39-hour week
of five and half days, fixed by con-
gressional statute. A general 5-day
week would require new law.

KILLING SUSPECT.
MAY Be DC. BANDIT.
Liquor Store Operator Here
Partially Identifies Man
Taken in Philadelphia.
picture on page A-3J

Washington police today were in
vestigating the possibility that a 32-
year-old gunman, under arrest in
Philadelphia in connection with the
hold-up murder of C. Morgan knight,
socially prominent investment broker,
in the Wanamaker department store
Monday, may be the lone bandit"
who has been operating here during
the last four months.
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson,
chief of detectives, said a Washing
ton liquor store proprietor partially
identified the man-Russell Wilson,
alias Albert w. Gregg-as the one
who held him up at pistol point.
The tentative identification was
made through photograph of Will
son. Inspector Thompson ordered
several detectives to interview other
recent hold-up victims and indicated
that if Wilson is identified by one
other person he would send the VIC
Tins to Philadelphia to view the sus-
pect.
Wilson shot Knight as the latter
attempted to stop him fleeing from
Wanamaker's with $1,000, which he
had taken from the cashiers cage on
the eighth floor Knight died in a
hospital yesterday of gunshot wound.
The bandit was captured block
away from the store.
According to an Associated Press
dispatch, police also are investigating
the possibility the prisoner may have
had some connection with the kidnap-
ing of Charles Mattson, 10, of Tacoma,
Wash. They said that Wilson, with
two days growth of beard, resembled
published sketches of the man sup
posed to have kidnapped the Mattson
boy, who was found dead January 10.

ROME, Oct. 28.-Premier Mussolini,
celebrating the fifteenth anniversary
of the Fascist march on Rome, de-
cIared today it is necessary that
Germany be restored to her place in

Fascists from all parts of Italy.

with other foreign diplomats.
Attacks Bolshevism.
Mussolini turned to what both Nazi
Germany and Fascist Italy term the
threat of "Bolshevism" in Europe.
For durable and fruitful peace it
is necessary that Bolshevism be elimi-
mated in Europe" he told the massed
Blackshirts and visitors.
1T is necessary that some clauses OF
the (World War peace treaties be
revised" he went on 1T is necessary
that a great people, the German peo-
pie, have once more the place to which
it is entitled and which it once pos

The premier shifted to Italy's own
colonial empire.
1T is necessary that Italy be left
tranquil because she has created her
empire with her own blood and with
her resources without touching single
corner of the empires of Others" he
said.

He defended Italy against what he
called foreign criticism in connection
with the recently imposed 10 per cent
capital levy for rearmament.
We cannot be judged by these ridic.

Fascist Italy capital is at the order:
of the state. while in great democra-
