Raymond Goselin TO leave his

There was evidence that Sill

force used by Silver was a SUBJ

A person who remains on

In this case the store keeper
had the right to use reasonable
force in ejecting the boy.

A NATION Of incalculable nat

wedge-shsped country driven into
the top Of South America. II has
been called perhaps the richest
single state in the world.
But Venezuela is largely unde-
veloped except for the exploitation
of its vast oil lands, rich beyond
even a pirates dream IN the days
of the old Spanish Main. The oil
has paid off the national debt and
today Venezuela is probably the
only country IN the world entirely
debt free.
CuriouSly enough. Venezuela

Any such compromise would

principal issues:
First, congress wants the
right TO pass on any changes the
president might make in the
various departments, agencies
and commissions.
Second. congress so far has
been dead against the presidents
plan to abolish the office of
comptroller general and lodge
that Offices pre-audit functions

Third. congress objects to the
presidents proposal that the
civil service commission be abol-
ished. with its duties trans
ferred to a single administrato
directly responsible to the presi-
dent.
Last year Senator Burton X.
Wheeler proposed an amendment
to the bill under which no merg-
err or reorganization put through
by the president could become
effective wi hout affirmative
congressional action. The admin
istration refused to accept this,
declaring that the whole subject
would be thrown open to log
rolling and that no reorganiza-
ton would be accomplished.
