ITALIAN PRESS HITS
ATTITUDE IN FRANCE
Fasclsts Resent Failure to Give
Mussolini Full Credit as
Savior of Peace
BY FRANK SMOTHERS,

ny TnhNh SMOxhEhS,
Chicago Daily News Foreign CORRESPONDENT
ROME, Oct. 4.-Blustering attacks
and threats against France by the
Italian propaganda machine are the
order of the day in Rome.
Such attacks in Premier Benito
Mussolini's speeches and the press
long have been so familiar that the
language of the current editorial
broadsides surprises few.
But the Fascists, clearly, are en-
phasizing to all and sundry that they
now feel more able than ever to hand
down judgments on the forces Of
democracy in view of the capitulation
of those forces to Fascist justice" in
the Czech crisis.
At the moment, in keeping with a
long established pattern, they are rub
bing it in on the French more than
others-the British opposition receiv-
ing admonitions, and Prime Minister
Neville Chamberlain loyal praise.
The principal complaint against
France, for the moment, is that
insufficient tribute is paid in that
country to Mussolini as the savior of
peace" at Munich

COUNTY WORKERS
SCAN MERIT LAW
Court Test Looms Should
Complexion Change
in Election.
By stafr Correspondent Of III. Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, Oct. IA
change in the political complexion of
the Montgomery County Board OF
Commissioners in the general elec-
ton next month might bring court lit
igation on the part of county en-
ployes If an effort is made to displace
them on January /, when the new
board comes in.
This possibility was indicated today
as county workers in the courthouse
here contemplated the election and
also delved into the terms of the
Montgomery County Civil Service Act.
which has never become effective Of
ficially. 1t was passed by the 1887
Maryland Legislature.
The new law, which would have sub
jected all county workers to civil
service examination by last Novem-
Der /, was held up when former Or
phans' Court Judge Harry Hunt,
Fusionist; Fred Page. Republican, and
Frank Davis, Democrat, filed q tax
payers suit in Circuit Court to pre-
vent the County Commissioners from
spending a proposed $4,000 appropria-
tion to put the new law in force.
The question now in the minds OF
several Of the county servants is
whether the 1887 act gives them q
civil service status, although they have
never been given an examination by
the Department of State Employment
and Registration.
II any OF them should lose their jobs
under the new Board OF Commission
ers they could test the law in an effort
to save their positions.
The present board is composed OF
two Democrats, Richard H. Lansdale
and Robert H. Hagner: Fusionist Clay
Plummer, who have virtually joined
the Democrats recently, and Repub-
licans Frank Karn, chairman, and
Paul Coughlan.
Watt Farmer and Earl Hampton are
running in the Democratic column in
the places of Mr.. Lansdale and Mr..
Hagner, who are retiring from the
board. They are opposed by Will Fox
and Capt. Chester A. Wells, Repub-
licans, respectively. Walter johnson,
former Washington pitcher, is Repub-
lican candidate against Mr.. Plummer.
Democrats John Oxley and Odorion
Robey are opposing Mr.. Karn and Mr..
Coughlan.

cry civil service law will be intro

REVIVAL IS URGED
Of MERGER BILL
Senator BuIkIey Believes
Reorganization Measure
Should Be introduced.
Ry the Associated Press.

Senator Bulkley. Democrat of Ohio
raised the touchy question Of Gov
ernment reorganization yesterday with
a statement that Congress should con-
slider such legislation again next ses-
sion.
Meanwhile, Senator Burke, Demo-
crat, OF Nebraska asserted that if
measure similar to that which the
House pigeonholed last year should be
offered, it wouldn't even pass the
Senate"
The discussion recalled a statement
made by President Roosevelt last week
that he had been canvassing the need
for reorganization, in the interest Of
more enicient and businesslike Gov
ernment, with members of the COM
mittee which drew up his original
proposals. He declined to say what
his plans were, however
Voted for Bill.
Senator Bulkley, an administration
supporter to the extent that Mr..
Roosevelt backed him for renomina-
ton recently, voted for the reorganiza-
ton bill last year, after voting also
for an amendment offered by the bills
critics.
Last years battle centered prin-
cipaly on proposed broad delegation
OF authority to the President to make
changes in the administrative set-up
Senator Bulkley supported an amend
ment to give Congress 4 veto power
over the Presidents changes. He voted
also to send the bill back to commit
tee for revision.
He said yesterday that in his opin-
ion the departments of the executive
branch of the Government definitely
need" reorganization.
I have not changed my mind" he
added. Il voted for recommittal and
for final passage of the bill. also
supported the Wheeler amendment be-
cause / believe the President ought
not to have final say on questions Of
reorganization.
I think such measure ought to
be considered 0this session and we
should safeguard 1t to see that Con-
gress has the final say on matters
Of reorganization
Six Supporters Defeated.
Senator Burke pointed out that six
Democratic Senators who voted for
the bill last year were no longer
members of the Senate. Other SEN
ators who have gone home have
found out what the people really think
about the bill and sone of them ara
not likely to vote for it," he said.
He suggested that the President
should ask Congress for specific
changes in the governmental struc-
ture.
Il believe Congress would consider
them with the utmost favor" he said.
This would be better than trying
to put through bill giving the Presi-
dent power to reorganize departments. "

Elisha Hanson. general counsel for
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, said yesterday he would
advise publishers to get rid Of" news
boys under IA years of age and to
obtain proof of age for all minor en-
ployes.
Mr.. Hanson made this statement
after committee Of publishers had
conferred with Miss Katharine Len
root. chief of the Labor Department. S
Children's Bureau.
He said newspaper publishers in
cities of $4,000 persons or more al
ready had established l4-year mini
mum under gentlemen agree
ment" made after the N. r. A. was
outlawed. Under the same agree
ment, he said, newspapers in cities
of less than $4,000 had employed boys
between IL and a.
I'VE are advising publishers now
irrespective of size Of cities, to Jack
the low limit up to a." Mr.. Hanson
said
No Data on New Regulations.
The attorney emphasized that the
publishers discussed with Miss Len
root merely the distribution of news
papers by minors and said she gave
them no indication of what the regu-
lations would be under the new Labor
Standards Act.
Mr.. Hanson said his advice would
be made on the presumption" that
the law would permit employment OF
boys IA to Is outside school hours, il
no night work were involved.
Miss Lenroot said, after the meeting
that she was mot yet in a position to
issue regulations or make any state
ments," but that orders would be is
sued before october "a, when the La
Dor Standards Act becomes effective.
Interstate Shipments Barred.
The new law will prohibit the ship
ment In interstate commerce of goods
manufactured by children under Is,
except where regulations are issued
permitting such employment Miss
Lenroot said she did not think it prob
able that newspapers would be affected
by provisions Of the law which make it
possible to prohibit employment of
children Is to l8 years, on the ground
that their work is hazardous
Mr.. Hanson and a group of news
paper publishers also conferred yester-
day with Elmer F. Andrews, the wage
hour administrator. The attorney said
the group gave the administrator in
formation on the newspaper business.
Administrator Andrews is expected
