Mysterious Tip
To Star Leads to
Lost Gem Case

A mysterious tip to The Star led
police today to recover Mrs. George
P. Smiths jewel case. which con-
tanned $1,000 worth of gems when
she lost it Saturday night in a taxi
cab.
The case was recovered in a locker
in Union Station this afternoon
1t was locked, and while police were
reasonably certain the jewels were
inside, they could not be sure.
Police were led to the locker by
Star reporter. who had received a
phone call from a man who gave
the locker number and said the
gems would be found there. Mrs.
Smith. who formerly lived in Alex
andria, was on her way from New
York to identify her property.
The case, which had the initials
"R. B. S." on it. was lost by the
socially prominent New Yorker
when she left it in a cab which took
her from Union Station to the home
OF her mother, Mrs. Arthur H.
Bryant Of Alexandra, Va.

Revamp Plan Creates
Six Federal Jobs
With $4,000 Pay
Jesse Jones Likely
To Be Named Head
Of Loan Agency
Ry the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt's "Reorgan-
ization Plan No. l." submitted to
Congress today, proposes creation
of six new top Federal jobs, with
salaries aggregating $4,000.
The Federal Loan, Works and Sc
curity administrators each would
receive $4,000 annually, and each
would be empowered to have a
$4,000 assistant.
There were no indications at the
White House as to who might be
appointed to these positions, but in
some Government circles there was
speculation that Jesse H. Jones, R.
F. c. chairman, might become chief
OF the loan agency and Arthur J
Altmeyer, Social Security Board
chairman, head of the security
agency
Continuation of some present
Federal jobs is specifically provided
for. These include a commissioner
of public buildings at $4,000 and
commissioners of public works and
works projects, each to receive
$4,000 year.
The Presidents explanation of the
plan indicated that chiefs of bu-
reaus to be placed in the new
agencies, with possibly a few ex-
ceptions, would be continued in their
present jobs, but would be answer
able to new chiefs.

German Member
OF Mixed Claims Unit
Is Recalled 10 Berlin
Victory for U. S.
Petitioners Seen as
Dr.. Hueekine Quits
By the Associated Press.

DR.. Victor Huecking, German
member of the Mixed Claims Com
mission, has quit the tribunal in the
midst of its deliberations over World
War sabotage claims, it was learned
today. and has been recalled perma-
nently to Berlin.
An authoritative source said his
departure Undoubtedly meant that
Germany had scant hope of win
ming the cases." This source saw In
the recall a possible German move
to prevent any decision in the near
future.
The claims total $4,000, 900 and
were made by Americans against
Germany as result of the destruc-
ton of railroad terminal at Black
Tom, N. j., and an arsenal at Kings
land, N. j., before the United States
entered the World War.
Dr. Huecking's departure from the
United States came shortly after the
commission heard final arguments
on an American motion to reverse a
decision made in Hamburg in 1890
which exonerated Germany for the
losses.
1t was authoritatively said in
American quarters that the absence
OF German member at this stage
of the litigation, however, would
have no effect on the ultimate out
come.
Embassy without Comment.
The German Embassy would not
comment other than to say that
DR.. Huecking had returned to his
country to take up anew" his
duties as justice of the Court OF
Appeals Of Prussia and would not
return to the United States.
DR.. Richard Paulig, German
agent, or attorney, before the COM
mission, would not say whether the
place would be filled.
It was definitely known that
American claimants would not ask
for new German member. 1t
was pointed out there are more than
10000 pages of testimony and many
exhibits, and that 1t might take a
new commissioner three years to
familiarize himself with the cases

NEW YORK, April 25.-John r.
Steelman. United States concilia-

deadlocked negotiations between
bituminous coal miners and opera
tors over a basic contract for the
soft coal industry.
Appearing as a personal repre-

Perkins, Mr.. Steelman gave no in
dication whether he had a COM
promise proposal which might end
the work stoppage of 350.000 miners
in the eight-State Appalachian

the federation would protect the
rights Of coal miners to make their
own choice of bargaining agency.
He demanded that the miners be
allowed TO decide in Wagner Act
election "the character and nature"
OF their collective bargaining agency.
Mr.. Green said the strike penalty
clause had been in mine contracts
for 80 years. Until now, he added,
no demand had been made for their
elimination or for a closed shop.
THE miners employed at the mine
may determine what organization
shall represent them in collective
bargaining and whether they wish

continued. They can take such ac-

10000 Persons Are

Approximately 10000 persons, for
the most part located outside of

changes proposed in President
Roosevelt's reorganization program.

dozen units are involved.
The largest concentration will
come in the Federal Works Agency,
due principally to bringing together
the huge staffs of the Works
Progress Administration and the
Public Works Administration.
total force ranging around $4,000
being due to result.
The Federal Security Agency will
exceed 1880, with the Social Secur-
ity Board and the Public Health
forces making up most of the total,
while the shifts into the Federal
Loan Agency and the Department
OF Agriculture will affect upward
of $4,000 with the agency getting
about 10000 principally from the Re-
construction Finance Corp, the
Home Owners Loan Corp. and the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
The White House force of "A will
go above 300.
Separate Register Set Up.
The executive order to carry out
the program provides that ANY
personnel = found to be in
excess of the personnel necessary
Tor the efficient administration Of
the functions transferred
shall be retransferred under existing
law to other positions in the Gov
ernment service or separated from
the service, subject to the provi-
slons OF section 10(a) of the Re-
organization Act of 1889"
This section provides for prefer
ential unemployment of qualified
personnel which means that so far
as civil service employees are con-
cerned they will go on a separate
Unemployment register, which will
take precedence over other en-
ployment registers maintained by
the commission.
The Unemployment status of non-
civil service personnel losing out in
any shift appeared in doubt today,
In the absence OF any specific pro-
vision for rehiring.
While the program will allow the
President to bring in under a
centralized control many of the in
dependent agencies. there are 2l,
including the principal quasi-legisla-
tive and quasi-judicial groupings
that are exempt by the act.
These include Civil Service Com

The law provides that pay changes
shall not result from any transfer
until after the end of the fiscal year
IN which they are made.
