Judd of superior court for the post ing of the bond, Attorney William son talked seriously with Detective Edward J. Hickey. Although a mem- Der of the bar, he was very inquisi- tive as to the procedure which is in store for the mass arraignment to- morrow.
 Many Motions Expected
 Numerous preliminary motions are expected to be made by attor- neys who appear for the several accused. Among them will be mo- tions for separate trials, and motions for more specific statements. Wheth- CT any or all of the accused will question the legality of the jury's procedure, could not be ascertained. This action met with disapproval in the Bridgeport court where trials result from the Merritt Parkway jury.
 Some Guilty Pleas
 Several guilty pleas are antici- pated, especially in those instances where it is almost positively known that the jury has obtained confess sions from the accused, when they appeared as witnesses before the in- vestigation group.
 All the accused, with the excep- tion of Phil Coppeto, John B. Purdie and Enoch Borgnaes, who are unac- counted for, will stand before Judge Ernest A. 1nglis as the charges of conspiracy in the 32 page bench war rant are read by Clerk George H. Freeman.
 May Be Tried Together
 It is expected that Special Prose- cutor Hugh M. Alcorn will demand that the acccused be tried together and en-masse. Efforts of defense counsel to forestall this move are expected to be in vain. In view of the length of the jury's report and the length of the bench warrant, all motions for more specific statement or bill of particulars are expected to be equally as vain.
 Nineteen of the accused have post ed bonds, ranging from $5,OOO to $25,0O0 to insure their presence to- morrow. One other, James P. Healey recently in England, has promised, through his counsel John H. Cas- sidy, that he would appear. Detec- tive Edward J. Hickey has con- ferred with represe' tatives of the Kingsley auditors named, and they have convinced him that they will be on hand tomorrow. They are: George H. Kingsley, John w. Meaney and William B. Murray, and in each case bonds of $10,00o have been set,
 John s. Johnston, New York brok- CT, is believed ready to surrender tomorrow and post bonds of $25, 900.

role of Milland's mechanic, kept audiences in a continuous uproar of laughter, while the role of the power-mad Eurasian, ruler of tribe of savage Malayan natives who wor- ship Miss Lamour as their "god- dess", is excellently portrayed by J. Carroll Naish.
 The thrilling climax of the picture is an earthquake that destroys an underground temple, where Miss Lamour, Midland and Overman are being held captives by the ruler of the natives, Naish.
 The picture is charmingly done, the color Is magnificent in its bril- liance, and Miss Lamour and Mill land have scored another tremen- dous hit.

DIR. FREUD GIVEN
 BOOM FOR CHAIR

Philadelphia, May 23-(UP) The American Student Union at Temple University today urged that Dr. Sig mund Freud, Austrian-Jew and father of psychoanalysis," be of fered the chair of psychology at the Philadelphia institution.
 In an open letter to President Charles E. Beury and the university trustees, the A. s. U., in the current issue of the monthly publication, Tempo said: Princeton has its Einstein; we want Freud"
 The letter said Temple would be passing by one of the greatest op- portunities of the century" if Freud were not offered the chair, which has been vacant since the rcsigna- ton of Dr. Thaddeus Bolton.
 Freud now is being "hounded by Nazi sadists in Vienna" according to the paper, and now is the time for men of character to rise above personal interests"

 The belief was plain that if there was war between Czechoslovakia and German both France and Russia would go to Czechoslovakia's aid and that Great Britain would go to Frances aid.
 This belief, and the strength of the great Maginot line of fortifica- tions on the German forntier, led to an atmosphere of calm.
 Newspapers saw slackening of tension, and they attributed it al- most solely to the strength of Brit ish pressure on Germany against nasty action. It was said that the

British pressure was much stronger than might have been anticipated and that as the result German was likely to leave it to the minority Germans in Czechoslovakia to win concessions from the government.
 Doubts Dissipated
 Doubts that France and Russia would make good their treaty ob- ligations to support Czechoslovakia in event of war seemed dissipated.
 It was said that not only had France assured Czechoslovakia of aid but that in turn she had had as- surances from Great Britain and Russia that they would support her morally and militarily if she were drawn into war.
 The hope seemed strengthening that Germany would take no action that might lead to conflict. The feeling seemed to be that Adolf Hitler in his previous dramatic &C., tion in the field of 1oreign policy had calculated his chonces coolly, and that if he did so now he would respect Czechoslovakia's sovereignty.
 Pressure of Britain
 London, May 2-(UP)-The pres sure which Great Britain put on Germany to seek peaceful solution of the Czechoslovak crisis which threatened a war in Europe was ad- mitted by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in the house of com- mons today.
 Arthur Henderson, 1aborite, asked whether "in view of the special in- terest displayed by Germany in the problem of the Sudeten minority, the British government urged on the German government the desir- ability of doing everything in their power to further an agreed settle ment?"
 "Yes, sir" the prime minister re- piled.
 Chamberlain ignored a question by Oliver Locker-L -Lampson, twill the prime minister congratulate this gallant little people on their calm courage during the week-end?"
 Czechs Welcome Help
 Chamberlain said the Czechoslo- yak government welcomed the Brit ish-French interest in the Sudeten question and gave assurances of their intention to reach just and equitable settlement"

The Presidents Letter
Dictatorship Declared Precluded by Executive
Oflce-Majority Rule, Minority Rights.

One thing that the administration
can be criticized for, is that IT.. has
practically abandoned presenting
case for its projects. The case has
become, invariably, that reactionary
forces are against them But that's
not enough of an argument.
Opposition Clear.
The opposition to this bill has stated
the grounds for its disapproval very
clearly. They are that it puts the
President any President - who is
usually the head, as well, Of a political
party, in sole command of the civil
service, through his power to appoint
(and presumably Temove) the sole
chief of the service. That the bill
abolishes the pre-auditing Of appro-
priated money, and so abolishes the
congressional check on the power Of
the purse; that it gives the President
control over agencies designed to be
completely independent, and that, with
the Presidents veto power remaining,
it would take two-thirds vote of
Congress to override him.
1t is certainly beside the point for
the President to declare that he hasn't
the slightest intention of abusing these
powers. That is no argument against
their being created And if these
arguments are misleading, how are
they misleading?
Checks and balances were estab-
lished in order that this should be q
Government of laws and not men,"
said Mr.. Justice Brandeis in a famous
dissenting opinion in the Meyers case,
in 1926. ct is the Meyers case which
furnishes the President the basis for
his authority in removing Mr.. Arthur
Morgan as chairman Of the T. v. A.,
long before his term has expired) An
uncomfortable power Of removal in the
Chief Executive is doctrine not to be
learned in American governments.
Ut will become doctrine to be learned
II this reorganization bill passes)
The doctrine Of separation of powers
was adopted not to promote
efficiency, but to preclude the exercise
of arbitrary power" (The opponents
Of this bill argue that although it is
necessary to promote efficiency, this
bill neither does it, nor does it put any
check on arbitrary power) The pur-
pose was not to avoid friction, but bv
means of the inevitable friction Incl
dental to the distribution Of govern
ment powers between three depart
ments, to save the people from autoc-
racy."
So much for Mr.. Justice Brandeis'
apprehensions of what can happen if
the President alone has extended
powers of removal. which he would
certainly get under this bill.
Other Advocates.
Many Presidents before Mr.. Roose-
welt have advocated reorganization of
the executive departments. Reorgani-
zation is necessary. But why? For
the promotion of efficiency. Simply
that, and nothing more. What Is the
chief test of efficiency? Getting better
work done for less Of the taxpayers
money. The argument previously has
been that reorganization would make
Government more economical That
argument is not advanced even by its
supporters in behalf of this bill
Another real task of reorganization
should be to restore already sadly
undermined democratic responsive
ness and responsibility, for which we
