SEE THE. PISTOLS


Lately the guards around the
White House have taken to wearing
their pistols in white leather holsters
in plain view. Always before they
have carried them hidden in their
pockets, the way street cops do.
A newsman came out of the con-
ference carrying an old newspaper
he had dug out of the files from
back in 1918. Half of the yellowed
front page was occupied with two
words:
"War Over"
This capital is already prejudiced
on the side of France and England.
You would feel it in the air even
if you didn't hear army men, navy
men and even diplomats sounding
off. Privately, of course.
Some are hoping against hope
that Polands army will be a big
surprise, stall the Germans until
the rains come to give them lift
against the mechanical enemy.
At lunch time people draw
sketches on napkins to show where
Poland is weakest, or where Britain
could land troops.

United States Senate who defeated
ratification of the peace treaty of
Versailles because it embraced the
covenant of the League of Nations.

CoIored Slayer Must
60 to Chair Feb. II

James Bostic, colored, is scheduled
to die In the electric chair February
II as the aftermath of a flrst-degree
murder conviction.
Fought through the United States
Court of Appeals, the case was the
outgrowth of Bostic's shooting Will
liam Tuckson. jr., colored, on Octo-
Der 8, 1896. with a pistol. Death oc-
Cured Immediately and Bostick was
indicted in November of that year.
The case was successfully prose-
cuted in the trial and appellate
courts by former United States At
torney Leslie c. Garnett and Roger
Robb, former assistant United
States attorney. Despite Bostic's
claim of irregularities in his trial, the
appellate tribunal found this without
merit. The death warrant has been
forwarded from District Court to
Thomas M. Rives, superintendent of
the District Jail.

Reorganization Plan
Compromise Move
Gains Headway
Little Opposition Seen
IfCongress Is Given j
Check on Orders IN

A bipartisan movement for COM
promise Government reorganization
program gained headway in Con-
gress today.
Administration leaders said they
were hopeful a revised program
could be enacted promptly with a
minimum of controversy. They as
serted that President Roosevelt un-
doubtedly would be willing to make
concessions to avoid another defeat
on the issue. The House pigeon
holed the administration reorganiza-
ton bill last year after 1t had been
approved in the Senate.
Senator McNary of Oregon, the
Republican leader, said he would be
inclined to support new program
giving Congress the power to veto
any presidential orders which re-
vamped or consolidated Government
agencies.
One of the chief objections voiced
last year against Mr.. Roosevelt's S
reorganization program was that it
would give the Chief Executive dis
cretionary power to reshuffle ad-
ministrative units and functions.
Congress Wants to Hold Strings.
Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat,
of Washington, an administration
supporter, said he felt confident a
program could be enacted if Con-
gress held strings over any reor-
ganization powers granted the Presi-
dent.
Senator Schwellenbach added that
1t would be useless to seek any pro-
gram giving the President unlimited
authority to alter the Governments S
administrative machinery.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Of
Montana, who led the Senate drive
last year to make presidential re-
organization orders subject to con-
gressional approval, said there would
be little difficulty in enacting pro-
gram with such limitation.
The reorganization bill passed at
the outset of President Roosevelt S
first term gave Congress the power
of veto if exercised within so days
but this form of check did not suit
opponents last year who wanted a
requirement for affirmative action
invoked.
Auditor General Plan Opposed.
Other Senators indicated Mr.
Roosevelt might drop another con-
troversial provision of his program
abolition of the Office of controller
general. Senator Byrd, Democrat,
of Virginia and others have con-
tended that if the Office were elm
mated, Congress would have no ef-
fective check on Government spend
ing.
The reorganization program called
for creation of an auditor general
who could report to Congress only
after illegal expenditures had been
made.
The House already has made
start toward taking up reorganiza-
ton legislation by re-creating the
special committee of the last Con-
gress, headed by Representative
Cochran, Democrat, of Missouri.
There has been talk in the House
also of a compromise on the meas
| ure.
