BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Amid mounting official fears that
a new major European crisis i'm
pends. the United States yesterday
condemned Italy S "forcible and vio-
lent invasion of Albania"
In pointed rebuke, Secretary Of
State Hull with President Roose-
velt's expressed approval. declared
the Fascist assault on little Albania
violates the will of all peoples in
the world that their governments
shall lead them, not toward war. but
along the path OF peace
He made clear. too. in a formal
statement, that the United States
had an interest, other than on moral
grounds. for. he said, this threat to
peace" affected the economic well
fare of the United States as we'll as
that of other nations.
Prelude to New Crisis.
The latest American condenna-
tion of aggression was issued against
a background of reports that led
some high officials to believe the
Albanian development was but a
prelude to a new general European
crisis
Opinion in both the State and
War Departments was authorita-

Polish border, particularly Silesia.
The rebuke to Italy was issued
after Secretary Hull conferred again
by telephone with Mr.. Roosevelt,
who was preparing to conclude a

Without expressing olrect opin-
ion whether Italy. in using force
against Albania. had violated the
Kellogg anti-war pact, Secretary
Hull referred a questioner to the
phrase "forcible and violent in
vasion." Both Italy and Albania
signed or adhered to the treaty out
lawing war as an instrument Of
national policy.
No special consideration has been
given thus far, Mr. Hull said, to
the advisability of again invoking
against Italy the Neutrality Acts

The District government Nould
have power to appropriate from the
public funds of the District and to
levy, assess and collect taxes under
proposed new organic act to pu
into effect the latest reorganlza
ton proposals of Griffenhagen an
associates made public last night.
Provisions of the suggested o.
ganic act were disclosed by Chair
man Kennedy of the Reorganizatio.
Subcommittee of the House Distric.
Committee in the form of com
mittee print
Among the newest proposals nov
drawn up in tentative legislative
shape, it was revealed. are consoli-
dation of the Municipal. Police and
Juvenile Courts and creation OF a
department of labor.
Several partial concessions also
have been made to opponents OF
the previously recommended aboli-
ton of the Board of Education and
the Board of Library Trustees
These would now be retained with
more power than originally planned
but would not have the complete
autonomy and authority they now
enjoy.
Powers Designated.
The proposed bill would delegate
to the local government the follow
ing powers now held by Congress
/. To make appropriations from
the public funds of the District.
2. To levy, assess and collect
taxes
3. To purchase, maintain. operate
or lease public utilities.
4. To grant public utility fran
chises for a period of not more
than 20 years.
5. To issue and sell bonds.
6. To adopt and enforce ordi-
nances imposing police, sanitary,
building. zoning and other regula-
tons
The committee print" represents
a revision of the tentative outline
of the proposed organic act, the
most important details of which
leaked out last week to the dis
pleasure of Mr. Kennedy. The
proposed organic act. however, Mr.,
Kennedy emphasized. is not final.
1T was merely put into printed
form he said. Ito give members
of my subcommittee something to
shoot at
Original Recommendations
Virtually all details of the pro-
posed new organic act are designed
to carry out the original recon-
mendations in the Griffenhagen
report.
The department of labor, one Of
the new features. would take the
place of department of unem-
ployment compensation, and not
increase the original II admins
trative departments into which va
rious agencies of the municipal
government would be grouped un-
der the original reorganization
plan. The proposed department Of
labor would take over functions of
the District Unemployment Com
pensation Board. the Office of the
United States Employment Service
in the District. the Minimum Wage
Board and the functions of the
Board of Commissioners relating
to the licensing of private employ
ment agencies. Under the original
plan. the Minimum Wage Board
would have been placed under the
proposed department of occupation
al standards.
The consolidated court under
provisions of the committee print"
of the new organic act, would be
known as the municipal court.
Adoption of the reorganization
plan would not change the status
or the tenure of the present judges

through diplomatic channels and by
a press barrage, informed Poland
today with the frankness on which
totalitarian states pride themselves
that the British-Polish defensive

act toward the Nazi Reich.

primarily Poland.
Ribbentrop Sees Lipski.
Hitler had Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribhentrop talk for
an hour yesterday to Polish Am
bassador Joseph Lipski before Won
Ribbentrop left on an Easter v2ca-
ton.
It was believed Lipski was told
what may be some of the conse-
quences of Poland's final signature
of the British alliance.
Informed persons assumed that
Hitlers first move, if Poland goes
through with the alliance, would be
to consider the 1O-year Polish
German non-aggression pact, signed
In 1884, as having been voided by
Poland.
Next, it was believed, would come
pressure to make Poland agree to
cession of the Free City of Danzig
to Germany and permit the build
ing of an extra territorial highway
across the Polish corridor to link
the main Reich and East Prussia.
Hitter May Raise Demands.
If there is Polish resistance. it
was believed here, precedents indi-
cate that the Fuehrer's demands on
Poland might be increased.
Everything supported belief that
the Fuehrer this week end wanted
that solitude in which he had
reached previous momentous de-
eisions.
His new tea house, on peak near
his big chalet and accessible only
by an elevator through the interior
of Kehlstein Mountain. was within
easy reach to give him complete
Eastertide solitude.
In addition to permitting Won
Ribbentrop to take a holiday, Hitler
already had approved of "vaca-
ton" journey by Field Marshal Her
mann Wilhelm Goering to Italy and
Tripoli and the visit of his propa-
ganda chief. Paul Joseph Goebbels,
to Italian Rhodes and Egypt. He
even authorized his constant COM
panion, Press Chief Otto Dietrich,
to take leave of a week Germans
saw in all this evidence the Fueh-
rer's desire to be alone.

Ter to decide, among other things,

Approximately 250 men were re- moved from welfare rolls today and assigned to WPA projects, after lengthy interviews in the gymnasium of the police department by agents of the local and state WPA head quarters.
 Although there were openings for 300 men, according to Supervisor William E. Kennedy, only about 250 could qualify. Requirements were that applicants be certified as welfare clients and each was re- quired to show that he was not re- ceiving social security benefits.
 The 250 men, some of whom went to work this afternoon, and all of whom will be on the job by 2 o'clock tomorrow morning, are par tial replacements for the 800 who were discharged since July IA when the l8 months law went in effect.
 MT. Kennedy was unable to state today whether or not any further openings will be available in the near future.
 A long line of applicants formed in the police gymnasium, as off, cials from New Haven called off names from the welfare rolls. Each was then sworn in as to citizenship and issued orders where to report. .a, All projects will continue to func- ton, although with skeleton staffs, Mr. Kennedy said. Representatives of the welfare department took part n the enrolment today.
