Broadway for an extensive period
of time
It requires a considerable amount
of research to discover that New
York last saw it SO years ago, with
Edwin Booth in the title role ana
two actors, named respectively
Maurice Barrymore and John
Drew, in minor parts. The immor-
tai Booth added nothing to his
stature or reputation by an IN
different performance of the role
Of Richard.
But today young Englishman.
Maurice Evans, is being acclaimed
as one of the great actors OF the
time because of his portrayal OF
the first English king to abdicate
under pressure.

Our Mr.. Evans is in his early
thirties and has been seen around
as Romeo to Katherine Cornell's

Preserve Morale

VIZ HILE there is little apprehension among Gov
w ernment employees as to wholesale disnissals
which might follow in the wake of the Presidents plan
for reorganization of the Executive branch of the Gov
ernment STILL Congress- in the interests of efficiency
should provide assurance in the reorganization eglsla
ton that whatever shifts made will be carried out
with minimum of disruption of employment.
It seems obvious that the Government cannot well get
along with fewer employees particularly in view OF the
fact that the reorganization proposed by the President
would expand, rather than contract the service
Added point is given to this view by the revelation
of the tremendous amount of overtime which Govern
ent employees are forced to work in order that the
Governments business may be kept current.
Nevertheless whenever proposal for reorganization
is pending there is tendency among some employees to
become uneasy.
This tendency unfortunately exists even after re-
neated instances have shown that INVARIABLY THE
NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES AFTER A REORGANIzA-
TION is GREATER THAN BEFORE
While reorganizations are being effected however,
there is this recurrent ear not only of disssas but OF
temporary periods during which Civil Service protection
NAV lifted and employees left at the questionable mercy
of administrative officers.
This fear of tenure cannot help but have deeterous
effect on the Government service generally.
Persons who are in fear regardless of how poorly
founded that fear may be- do not work with the same
smoothness as those who are confident.
It in order that this groundess fear may be entirely
eliminated that Congress is asked to provide assurance
in any reorganization bills that may be considered that
there will be no dsmissals until they are
shown to be necessary and that when they shown to
be necessary they will be made with due regard for eff
cheney and seniority.
Colonel Charles Stengle president of the American
Federation of Government Employees, stated the situa
ton accurately and fairly when he said recently that
this assurance is primarily desirable from the stand
point of the Government.
1t is of course desirable from the standpoint of the
employees but the worst effect of poor morale is felt in
elong rum by the employing Government.
President Roosevelt has made plain that in his view
the reorganization which he proposes should be under
taken fundamentally to bring about greater efficiency in
Government, not economy.
IT WOULD BE POOR CONTRIBUTION TO THIS
DESIRED EFFICIENCY TO START OUT BY DE
sTRoYING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE GREAT
ARMY OF GOVERNMENT WORKERS.

IN THE KNOW

Much ado was made when Presi-
dent Roosevelt announced his judi
cial reorganization plan about the
fact that he kept it a secret from
everyone, his secretaries and the
smart writer's who profess to know
the Chief Executives mind in
cluded.
Now the question is arising on
Capitol Hill as to how much Sena-
tor Joseph F. Guffey knew about
it. He made a speech on the court
in the Senate just before the Presi-
dents message was sent UP.
Two theories have arisen during
the discussion. Was Senator CUT
fey in the know because Of his
prominence in national politics due
to his victory in Pennsylvania or
is he just hitting the ball 100 per
cent these days?

URGE SUPPORT OF SAFETY
CAMPAIGN

Following the publication of the
Governors proclamation urging
the public's support Of a special
campaign to Make September the
Safest Month";" instead of trag-
edy for driver and pedestrian, in a
safety program under the Mime
sofa Public Safety Committee, 10
cal authorities announced that
they will cooperate and will use
every effort to make September
the safest month. Mayor Melvin F.
Hintzen and officers of the Sank
Centre Safety Council urge the
support of the public in this cam
paign, as an educational measure
for a safety program throughout
the year. Owing to several severe
accidents in this community during
the past several weeks, these offic-
ers realize the Importance of a
safety program, and inasmuch as
September is the most hazardous
traffic month Of the year, they are
anxious to have the public cooper
ate to reduce accidents.

in the extreme southeastern corner
of the state were announced recent
ly by Herman c. Wenzel, Commits
sioner Of Conservation.
Shooting will be allowed from IL
o'clock noon each day until 5 p. M.
instead Of until shutdown as In
former seasons. Commissioners
Wenzel said the o'clock deadline
was decided upon because Of the
confusion" caused by the sun

hunters unintentionally violated
the law under the old ruling, he
said.
There will be no open season on
prairie chicken, ruffed grouse,
sharptail grouse, mourning doves,
woodcock, and chukar cartridges.
The daily bag limit for pheasants
is three cocks, or two cocks and
one hen; the possession limit is
five cocks, or four cocks and one
hen, the season limit is ten cocks,
or eight cocks and two hens.
For quail, the daily limit is six,
with a possession limit of twelve,
and season limit of eighteen.
Pheasants may be taken in sea-

Potato Men To Vote On
Marketing Agreement
Must Be Signed By Not Less
Than 81 Per Cent Of
Handlers

Potatoe producers in Minnesota
will be given the opportunity to
state whether they favor a market
ing agreement designed to increase
their returns at a statewide refer
endum next week, today announc-
ed Skull H. Rutford, extension re-
preventative on the Minnesota Ag-
ricultural Conservation Commit
tee, University Farm, st. Paul.
Following a tentative approval
of the agreement by Secretary Of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace Sat
urday, the referendum will occur
the week of September Is. A series
of educational meetings will pre-
cede the balloting, at which potato
growers will also vote on the pro-
posed agreement.
This agreement, discussed with
producers and handlers at hearings
in Princeton, Mimi, and Grand
Forks, North Dakota, August 26
and %, was one of four regional
pacts to win approval. Other areas
covered by the pacts, in addition to
the Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan and North Dakota area, are
Maine, Idaho and the region COW
ering Colorado, Wyoming and Ne
braska. Handlers of potatoes in
Minnesota will receive within a
few days copies of the agreement
for their signature, Mr.. Rutford
said.
Designed to promote orderly
marketing and encourage greater
consumption of the large crop of
late commercial potatoes and to in
crease the low incomes of growers,
the agreement would withhold
from interstate commerce ship
ments of potatoes not meeting the
requirements for U. s. No. pota-
toes and which are less than one
and one-haf inches in diameter.
The program further proposes Fed
eral-State inspection of all potatoes
shipped from the areas concerned.

HOLE IN ONE

golf bag, drew q deep breath,
and suddenly came to the reali-
zation that he had become a
member Of that exclusive and
oft-envied club, The Aces. Men,
bership to which is secured with
a hole-in-one. It happened Sum
day on the Annandale course as
Doc came up to the 161-yard
third hole. It was the outcome
Of one Of the sweetest drives
that the Doc has laid out in q
whole summers golf as It dove
straight as a die for the pin.
The bali hit the green with the
brakes on, pulled up on toward
the pin, and disappeared from
sight into the cup. Not satisfied
with that he continued the
round of nine holes and wound
up one under par. One hates to
mention it but someone, some

er is making an ace every 20
