bARKLEY DEFENDS
REORCAN|z|NC BILL
Measure Offers Hope for
Economy and Greater
Efficiency, He Says:

BY the Associated Press.
Democratic Leader Barkley of the
Senate declared yesterday that the
administrations reorganization bill
offered the only hope of regrouping
Government departments in the in
terest Of economy and efficiency.
Senator Barkley, who told reporters
he hoped for Senate vote on the bill
by the week end. added in a statement
that it was IAN effort to apply the
principles Of business to Government,
promote efficiency and bring about
economy"
For IS years Presidents have been
recommending reorganization" he said.
1T (the administration bilD is the
only way we can hope to bring about
a regrouping of the 100 independent
agencies. Only in this way can
the President carry out his constitu-
tlonal duty to see that the laws are
faithfully administered.
Compliance With Pledge.
THE civil service features of the bill
will extend the merit system to several
hundred thousand employees who are
now outside of civil service. That
will be compliance with the pledge
of both political parties.
The general accounting provision
OF the bill will give to the Government
for the first time an independent audit.
An auditor general appointed by Con-
gress and responsible only to Con-
gress will furnish a current audit and
report Immediately to a joint COM
mittee OF Congress any irregularities
In the departments. as we'll as make
recommendations for improvements in
fiscal affairs"
Senator Byrnes, Democrat. of South
Carolina, another supporter of the bill,
has proposed an amendment under
which the President could transfer
the duties of bureau or agency, but
could not nullify any law by ABOLISH
ing those duties.
Power to Abolish Bureau.
After the transfer, however. the
President would be empowered to
abolish bureau which had been
left without any specific function.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Virginia
and other critics OF the bill said Sena.
tor Byrnes action was = great con.
ceSsion.
Some Senator's said they favored
most of the provisions of the bill, but
desired to prevent transfer of the
forest service and the biological sur
vey from the Department of Agri-
culture. They said they might seek
to put in the bill statement Of
policy" against such a transfer.

Shanghai, Aug. 30-(UP)-More than 1000 civilians were killed or wounded yesterday when 50 Japa- nese airplanes dropped incendiary bombs on Kingshan, 78 miles north west of Hankow, official Chinese re- ports said today. The government also charged that two Chinese com panies had been wiped out by poison gas southwest of LaohuShan, in the Ruling sector of the Yangtse Valley about 140 miles south of Hankow. The Japanese planes dropped more than 200 bombs of Kingshan, ac- cording to the announcement. Most of them were incendiary, starting huge fires. At least 700 homes were destroyed, many of their occupants dying in flames or beneath burning timbers an debris. The Roman Cath olic church was struck directly, and the priest reportedly was killed.
 It was the first time in recent weeks that Japanese planes had bombed an area outside the regular lines of communication with Han- kow. Most of the bombings have been against the railroad which runs from Hankow to Canton and Hong Kong, over which the Chinese armies receive supplies. A Japanese com- munique said planes bombed King

 Brothwell, a riding master from Fairfield, Conn.,, said last week that Hines and Schultz visited his stables in August, 1885. Lloyd Paul Stryker, chief defense counsel, recalled him today for further cross examination after having checked up on him over the weekend.

':Backfri1g" Press Agent Story Makes Actor Famous

"There Goes My Heart" One of their ideas was to have premiere of the film in the home towns of each of the stars. One would be at Racine, Wis, home of Fredric March; another at Minneapolis, home of Virginia Bruce, and so on.
 Mobray hailed from London. The publicists thought maybe it would be a good joke to circularize Amer ican chambers of commerce and ask whether any of them might like to adopt Mowbray temporarily.
 The letters went out. One hundred and thirty cities said definitely they wanted Mowbray. He has been adopt ted by the towns of Quincy. Calif., Lincoln, H., Joplin, Mo, Brandenton, Fla, Quitman, Ga, Demopolis, Ala, Boone, Ia, South Haven, Mich, and Norwalk, Conn.
 The film will be ready for show ing by Sept. IS. whereupon Mow- bray will make tour of all those towns which have adopted him.
 And won't be going as an actor, either" he said. "I'll be going as a real son-and if that sounds silly or sentimental. I can't help it."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-30

Hollywood, Aug. 3o-(UP)-A press agent stunt which backfired made Alan Mowbray very happy today. The mayors of eight Ameri- can cities have taken out legal adoption papers for him. Hundreds of their constituents have invited him into their homes. MoWbray, citizen of Great Britain, no longer feels like an exile ip strange land.
 T tell you, it's great feeling" he said. q had no idea that perfect strangers could be so kind to foreigner like me, nor that mere publicity stunt could have such far reaching effect. But if America can adopt me, eight times over, then why couldn't England adopt some American? Why couldn't Germany adopt and Englishmman, and so on?
 q think that if series of such adoptions could be arranged inter- nationally, it would have a real ef- feet on human relations. It would do more good than many a peace conference I've read about"
 Two months ago at Hal Roach studios press agents were thinking up schemes to exploit a picture called

shan heavily, scoring direct hits on military establishments and ware houses. Most of them were set on fire, the announcement said. The gas attack reportedly endangered more than 100 American and Brit ish refugees who have taken shelter in Ruling, summer resort and erst- while summer capital" of General issiino Chiang Kai-Shek.
 According to the Chinese version, Japanese planes and artillery first demolished Chinese defenses at Laohushan after which 500 Japa- nese infantrymen rushed the Chi nese lines. The Chinese repulsed them. Then the Japanese were said to have sent poison gas shells into the Chinese lines for three hours All the Chinese positions were en- veloped in gas and Chinese soldiers were unable to escape. Not man of the two companies escaped, the Chinese reported.
 Allegedly. this was the third time the Japanese had employed poison gas in this sector. A protest was made last week to the League of Nations. Chinese military reports alleged that the Japanese attacking Oxhead Hill in the Singtse sector south of the Yangtse yesterday also used poison gas.

They Will Sit in Four COn= ventions !; State, County,
 COng., Probate PROBATE CAUCUS IS
 HELD VERY SECRETLY Gov. Cross, Sen. LOner= gan, Sheriff Slavin, Cong. Smith Were Endorsed

w a t e r b ury Democratic caucuses chose 164 delegates to four conventions, the state, county, congressional and probate, and the Al delegates to each of the first three con- ventions were pledged, re- spectively, to the renomina- tions of Governor Wilbur L. Cross, United States Senator Augustine Lonergan, High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin, and Cong. J. Joseph Smith, last night at City Hall.
 But the probate caucus, a secret session from which all but dele gates were excluded, is committed to no known candidate of the nu- merous who have announced for the office to be relinquished by Judge Dennis J. Slavin, veteran incum- bent.
 All of the approved" delegates of the tri-factlon agreement 8l of mid-August chose themselves to serve, with five alternates bringing each delegation to quota of 34 These delegates, in turn, named seven additional delegates.
 Harmony Session
 Opened by Democratic Town Chairman John H. Crary, crowded offices of city hall saw harmonious agreement in the matter of endorse ment of the governor, Senator Lon- ergan. Congressman Smith and Sheriff Slavin. Earlier the town committee had announced similar endorsement.
 Different procedure resulted, how ever, in the choice of delegates. in terms of other years which saw few of the initial delegates choosing to remain on the delegation to the actual conventions. Reports circu- lated through the crowd of observ- CTS that the probate delegation was committed to a nucleus of IS mem- bers who were unpledged to any candidate"
 Secrecy in Probate
 Secrecy of the session precluded observation of how the additional delegates were chosen but it is be-

pledged to unit vote at Eastern Point, September 1914, were instructed 10 vote for Senator Lonergan.
 Of the unpledged groups, a num- Der are headed by those favoring the candidacy of the senator, thus providing what is seen as 8 req sonable assurance that the way to Senator Lonergan's renomination has been cleared over the protests of his opponents regarding his nti-administration votes". Delegation Unpledged
 Waterbury's Al delegates led in the state the groups which will support the Hartford senator. At New Britain, where Kopplemann made a fight which once included threat to enter the primaries, Kopplemann slate was defeated D. 338 to 1909, and the delegation is unpledged.
 Danbury delegates were chosen for Lonergan by a vote of 1,174 against 469, with Kopplemann the loser. The large Bridgeport delega- gation will cast complimentary ballot for its native son, McNeil, but the 57 delegates, by agreement made some time ago when Lonergan SUD- porters thratend a split in tn event of attempt to pledge delegates to Kopplemann, are unpledged.
 Attorney General Homer s. Cum Cummings, who placed administra- ton approval on Senator Lonergan's contest for the renomination over two avowed HOO per cent New Deal- ers", heads the IT Greenwich dele- gateas, thus indicating Lonergan support.
 Similarly, Meriden's 21 delegates are headed by Senator Francis T. Maloney, who endorsed Lonergan at the outset of the contest for the nomination for senator; and New Haven's 73 delegates will go un- pledged but with understanding as to their vote because of National Committeeman David E. FitzGer- aids announced support of the Lonergan candidacy.
 From Lonergan headquarters to- day came the statement that re- ports from 47 towns indicated that "out of the total of 428 delegates from these towns, it is reported 389 are for Senator Lonergan, and 39 are for others. The renomination of Senator Lonergan seems as- sured."

BANDIT HANGED
 HIMSELF IN CELL

Boston, Aug. 30.-UP)-Harold Ananian, 27, wounded by police bullet Aug. 18 during running gun battle in which a fellow bandit was slain, committed suicide by hanging in his cell at Charles street jail to- day. Officer John Holman was making his rounds at 6.45 a. m. when he discovered the bandits body suspended by sheet from the door of cell No. 30 in the east wing.
 The body, still warm, was cut down and officers worked over it for half an hour but were unable to re- vive the victim.
 Ananian and James E. Sullivan, 25, were shot by police during a three-mile chase following their abortive attempt to seize $5,566 payroll in Cambridge on the after noon of Aug. 18.
 Wounded twice, Sullivan died next day. Ananian was wounded in the right hand. In court he was ordered held in $5O,000 bail for trial on charge of assault with intent to kill A policeman. Patrolman Scholley J. Lake was wounded twice during the battle

FORMER TR0TZKY
 SECRETARY DIES

Paris, Aug. 30-(UP)-A headless body, found in the Seine near Meu- Ian outside Paris, was identified tentatively today as that of Rudolf Element, former secretary to Leon Trotzky, exiled war lord. Element disappeared July 13. Trotzky, an- nouncing at Mexico City July 18 that he was missing, expressed be- lief that he had been kidnapped or murdered. Erwin Wolf, another of Trotzky's former secretaries, was assassinated at Barcelona, in Loyal ist Spain, several months ago. Trotzky's fear was that Element might have been smuggled into Spain, to be tried along with other leaders of the -Trotzky workers party of Marxist unification, who were condemned as traitors.
 Element was a German refugee. He served as Trotzky's secretary in 1922 and 1923. Wolf, killed at Barce- Iona, was a Czechoslovak.
