 Without any doubt, the workers will do 1t. The only merit of the pact is that in unveiling the truth, it broke the comintern's back.

 It was announced that 12 British planes had bombed Wilhelmshaver and Cuxhaven, German naval bases on the North Sea, but it was saic that little damage was done, that five of the planes were shot dowi' and the others driven away in the direction of the Netherlands.

 Changes in Boards
 Aldermanic President Burton Walker, who succeeds MT. Perriello automatically as aldermanic head becomes a member of the board of finance. Alderman Charles P Sciullo was named to the po- lice and fire boards, to suc- ceed Commissioner Henry w. Minor resigned. There may be dispute about the naming of MT. Sciullo since the charter says that the po- lice and fire board membership shall include "one alderman"
 Mayor Perriello said he planned to give the situation careful study be- fore making any board appoint ments. No such appointments, he said, would be made today.
 Appears at City Yard
 City yard workers got a surprise when the mayor appeared before them at 6:45 as they prepared to begin their days work. He asked that they all cooperate with the new administration. and assured them that they would all be given full consideration so long as they did their jobs well.
 The mayors office was banked with flowers sent by supporters and ad- mirers. merous well-wishers dropped in during the morning, as well as more than a few job- seekers.
 When Mayor Perriello took office at li:30 a. m. Saturday, he became the city's first Republican mayor in l8 years. He succeeded the mayor automatically by virtue of the city charter provision which makes the aldermanic president the mayors successor in the event of death, res- ignation or removal.
 The new mayor will appear before the board of aldermen next Monday night. He is expected to deliver a special message at that time.
