You do me much honor and ]
would indeed be ungrateful if |
did not write and thank you for the
very fine editorial you have written
However, | have never sought the
presidency of the United States. /
do not want it now. l will round
out about forty years of public SER
vice in 1870 l do believe that ]
should have some rest and a chance
TO get better acquainted with my
family, which you know is numer-
Gus
These are hectic times, and a man
that takes the presidency seriously
would not last long. In any event,
/ shall never say a word or do a
thing to encourage my availability
for the presidency.
You have told the truth in your
editorial to the best of my knowl-
edge and belief | have never know
ingly sinned against the people Of
my state or nation. I have made
mistakes. but they were of the head
and not of the heart | have a..
ways tried to be true to myself, and
| own my own onscience.-Sincere
ly yours, Vic DOnahey.

PAY INCREASES GRANTED :. H,
WORKERS ILLEGAL

The pay increase granted state
highway workers in the Davey ad-
ministration, has been declared il
legal by the Ohio supreme court.
The court held that the act putting
these workers Oh a monthly min
imum 500 salary, instead of a daily
wage basis, was unconstitutional,
since it was passed at a special ses-
sion of the legislature, and was not
mentioned as a subject for legisla-
tion in former Governor Davey's call
for that session or in message sent
in during the session. ApproXi-
mately $500 highway workers are
affected by the ruling. AS a test
case it establishes the legality of
pay cuts for many such employees
ordered when the Broker admins
tration came into office

ROME, Aug. 81 (P).-Premier Mus
solini refrained today from giving
any indication that he would inter-

war over German demands for
Danzig.
To suggestions that Italy "save
the peace" by Intervention in the
German-Polish dispute, well in

would follow the joint policy of the
Rome-Berlin axis.
They reiterated that Italy had
advised Poland to negotiate directly
with Germany for a settlement of
the Danzig problem. The Italian
press has urged Warsaw specifically
to accept the proposal of Adolf
Hitler last April for return of the
Free City to Germany, with a Ger
man road across Pomorze, the
Polish Corridor, to connect Germany
proper with East Prussia.
The Fascist press and unoff1cial
Italian comment has indicated that

to cut them"
