 Abroad, the strongest trouble from France appeared in the attitude of Fascist Italy. While the Daladier government was displaying a strength not likely to pease the Nazi- Fascist bloc, Italian deputies were demonstrating with shouts of "Tu11i- sia; Nice; CUrsica!" to signify that they consider those French areas as rightfully belonging to italy. The demonstration, obviously sanctioned by Premier Behito Mussolini, was believed intended to strengthen Italy's position in coming negotia- tons for a treaty settling controver- sy with France rather than to in- dicate any hope of immediate re- covery of the areas.
 Rnmaaia Clamps Down
 In Ruil1ailia, once a close ally of France, King Carol and his govern ineht clamped down vigorously on their Fascist political foes. Follow ing the killing of Corneliu Codreanu, leader of the Fascist-like and arti- Semitic Iron Guard, and 13 of his aides, the government ordered mass arrests of Iron Guardists and told police to shoot to kill If resisted.
 Fear of Nazt Germa1ly's dominance in central Europe and the possibil- ty that demands would be made for Ruinai,ia to give up the Transylvania area she got after the World war were the chief motives behind the suppression of the Iron Guard.
 .rhe menace had to be crushed as swiftly as lightning or we would have been pafalyzed in facing other dangers more grave which would have dsinafdsd a tribute in blood from the entire nation," the semi official RoEnaiiia said. Enemies from without await only favorable moment to jump on us"
 The comment did nothing to dis pei an impression abroad that the Ofiieial announcement that the Ir0fi Giiardists were killed while trying to escape from prison should be ac- 'cepted with reserve.

 Police Supt. Asks Cooperation
 Though no automobile was in- volved in the fatality, Police Super intendent William J. Roach again today asked that the public cooper. ate with the police in preventing coasting accidents. He urged that parents do all in their power to have their children do their coasting on 'coasting" streets set aside by the Board of Aldermen and to exercise all possible care.
 Despite streets being set aside, Superintendent Roach said, there have been many complaints about boys and girls sliding on heavily traveled streets, thereby endanger- ing life and limb. Police, he said, are doing their best to cope with the situation, but the cooperation of parents is needed.

 The name of Mrs. Alice Stiles, of Southbury, sister-in-law of Grand Juror Raymond Stiles, was also drawn this morning. She vas not called, however, as she is on the list in duplicate. The number IS: was called, but she is also recognized as number B. When number 23 is called she will be questioned. At the outset she asked to be excused because of her re- lation to the grand juror, but was denied.
 All the defendants, with the exception of Thomas F. Kelly were attired in dark suits today. Kelly wore a light gray suit.
 The jury box from which Clerk Freeman selects his jurors to be called is substitute for the reg ular box. It is large envelope box, which is the only one large enough to hold the large number a jurors identifications.
 Judge Inglis today ruled that the procedure fer challenging jurors would be as f0llowss After questioning, the defense would get the first opportunity to move for challenge for cause. If they did not, the state might take that action. If neither challenged for cause, of if challenges for cause were denied, then the defense could exert . peremptOry chal- lenge. If not, then the state could issue peremtory challenge.
 When counsel were called into conference at 11;25 by Judge Ing lis, it was considered possible that 1t might be in connection with the slowness of the procedure. In reality, it was for the purpose of deciding whether to l.old court four or five days. Counsel decided that four lays were enough, ih- asmuch as their other affairs would require the other day free. Court will adjourn at 4:25 tofncr- row in order that Attorney James D. 0. Murray might catch a train for New York.

S|MPL|F|ED COURT
RULES LAID DOWN
Civil Procedure Change to
Go Into Effect in District
On September is.

Revolutionary changes in procedure,
designed to simplify civil practice, will
become effective September Is in Dis
trict Court. The rules were formally
promulgated by the court in general
term late yesterday.
The court conferred with a special
committee Of seven lawyers relating
to details of the new rules. Clerks,
deputy marshals and all members of
the bar in the next month will have
to become familiar with the simplif1ed
procedure, under which the antiquated
common law forms, in vogue in Eng
land for many centuries and in the
District since practically the begin
ming of the Republic, will be abolished.
In the forefront of the changes will
be the abolishing of the difference
between law and equity. Justices of
the court explained that these rules
will be in conformity with the new
Federal rules promulgated by the Su-
preme Court that also will be effective
September is,
The new rules are designed to avoid
multiplicity of actions, narrowing
down to one the nearly dozen forms
prevailing at common law. This means
that the District Court here will have
code pleading, and in civil actions
there will be a complaint to which an
answer will be filed in defense. To
the defense a reply may be filed by
the complainant. Thus there will be
but three pleadings instead of the ex-
isting seven or eight legal maneuvers
that lawyers may employ before the
case actually comes to issue.
The court made it clear that the
new rules apply solely to civil pro-
ceedings, and that they do not affect
criminal or probate matters. There
will still be trial by jury in civil cases,
but this may be waived.
Pending cases will go on under the
old rules until disposed of, officials
asserted. The new rules, authorities
said, will not affect litigant's sub
stantive rights but only the method.
Adoption of the new program was de-
scribed as a new deal' in civil prac-
tice.
Participating in the conference in
cident to the general term of District
Court were Justices Oscar r. Luhring,
James M. Proctor, Daniel w. ODon-
oghue and F. Dickinson Let's; H. Win
ship Wheatley, chairman of special
committee of seven prominent law
yers named by the court in June, and
his associates, Lawrence Koenigsber-
ger. Walter N. Tobriner, Maj. William
S. Hodges and Percy H. Marshall.
Justice-designate Bolithae j. Laws,
president of the District Bar Asso-
citation, who is to be sworn in early
next month, also participated in the
deliberations.

PARKING METERS
TEST DUE SOON
$40 installations Expected
ShortIy-Bids Of Several
Corporations Opened.

Installation of $40 parking meters
along a number of downtown streets
is expected to be ordered soon by
the District Commissioners after
technical examination is made of
samples of meters selected for the
experiment.
Paving the way for the trial, bids
we're opened yesterday, showing the
low bidder to be the Park Rite Corp.
Of Houston, Tex, which offered to
provide semi-automatic meters at
$2825 each.
The meters are to be set up along
E, F or G streets, between Seventh
and Fifteenth streets. The exact 10
cations may be designated next week
by the Commissioners, TRAFFIC Direc-
tor William A. Van Duzer said.
Time Per 5 Cents Varies.
The general rate for buying park
ing spaces will be cents for an hour,
but in some instances the rate will
be cents for 20 minutes, as for in.
stance for places in front of banks.
Before a contract is awarded, Mr..
Van Duzer said, the meters to be
selected will be given final test by
experts Of the Bureau of Standards.
Only one bid was received by the
District for fully automatic meter.
1t came from the Graybar Electric
Co.. which placed the price at $3.50
per meter.
Whether the Commissioners will
order some of the fully automatic
meters, as we'll as the semi-automatic
kind, or more than one kind of the
latter type is yet to be decided. Un-
der an act OF the past Congress. the
meters are to be tried experimentally
over period of year.
Bid on Four Types.
The Park Rite Corp. submitted bids
for four different types of semi-auto-
matte meters. Its prices vary from
s2s25 to $32 per meter.
The Michaels Art Bronze Co. SUBJ
mitted a bid of $2930 per meter;
M. H. Rhodes, Inc, $2995; the Ma
tional Park-O-Graf Corp, $58; the
Standard Meter Corp $48.75 for one
type of meter and $5975 for another,
both semi-sutomatic; the Graybar
Electric Co.. $42.50 for the semi
automatic type, and the Duncan Meter
Corp, $65.
In the fully automatic type, the
deposit of a nickle starts the mechan-
ism working to tell OF the minutes
for which a parking place has been
rented and paid for. The semi-auto-
matte kind Of meter requires that
key be turned after the deposit Of
coin so that the mechanism will be
wound for the running Of the paid-for
time.

URGES MORE UNITS
IN CIVIL SERVICE
Stengle Calls on Four U. S.
Agencies to Follow Tariff
Commissions Example.

Pointing to the Tariff Commissions
extension of the civil service to in
clude experts heretofore exempted,
President Charles I. Stengle of the
American Federation Of Government
Employees today called on the heads
of four other Government agencies
to take similar action.
He addressed letters to the Social
Security Board, the Federal Trade
Commission. the Securities and Ex-
change Commission and the Maritime
Commission, recommending that their
expert personnel be brought into the
classified civil service. This could be
accomplished, Mr.. Stengle pointed out,
through plan similar to that ac-
complished by the Tariff Commits
sion-an agreement with the Civil
Service Commission-with the ap-
proval of President Roosevelt.
A provision in the laws creating
these agencies, it was explained. per-
mits the appointment of experts, at
torneys and others without regard
to civil service, and as these pro-
visions have been interpreted, the
employees affected would not benefit
from the recent executive order ex-
tending the classified civil service.
Mr.. Stengle will discuss briefly the
program of legislation which the
federation will press upon the coming
session of Congress at a meeting to-
morrow Of the various lodges in the
Department of Interior.
In addition to q demand for ex-
tension Of the classified service to
embrace employees held not eligible
under the recent Executive order, 1t
was understood Mr.. Stengle will speak
about the five-day week, liberalization
of the retirement law, and amend
ment of existing legislation governing
wages and hours.
The meeting will be held at 3:35 pm.
