IF YOUR eyes a"e wide open
all the time. you will not merely
notice oil Of the signals given by
your partners cards and then fol-
low them subsequently. There will
be rare occasions on which you
can see that some defense, en-
tirely different from what your
partner can fathom. would pro-
duce a better result. In those sit
uations, your job IS to disregard
his signal and proceed with the de-
tense you have figured out.

When reorganization plan No.
Nv was submitted to Congress I
did not contemplate the trans
initial of any additional plans
during the current session. How
ever, the startling sequence Of
international events which has
occurred since then has necessi-
tated review of the measures
required for the Nations safety.
This has revealed a pressing need
for the transfer Of the immigra-
ton and naturalization functions
from the Department of Labor to
the Department Of Justice. had
considered such an interdepart-
mental transfer for some time,
but did not include it in the
previous reorganization plans
since much can be said for the
retention Of these functions in
the Department of Labor during
normal times. I am convinced,
however, that under existing con-
dltions the immigration and
naturalization activities can best
contribute to the national we'll
being only if they are closely
integrated with the activities of
the Department of Justice.
Shift Found Necessary.
I am, therefore, transmitting
herewith Reorganization Plan
No. v which I have prepared in
accordance with the provisions
of section 4 of the Reorganiza-
ton Act of 1899 public, No. 10,
10th Congress, 1st session., ap-
proved April 3, 1899; and I
declare that I have found that
such reorganization is necessary
to accomplish one or more of the
purposes of section 1(a) of the
act:
l. To reduce expenditures;
2. To increase efficiency;
3. To consolidate agencies &C
cording to major purposes;
4. To reduce the number Of
agencies by consolidating those
having similar functions and by
abolishing such as may not be
necessary, and
5. To eliminate overlapping
and duplication of effort.
No Monetary Saving.

Smed|ey Butler SCOTS
Al Idea Of hazi Invasion

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 23.-Maj.
Gen. Smedley D. Butler. fiery former
officer of the United States Marine
Corps, scoffed at the idea of a
successful German attack against
this country because the United
States Navy "is the best in the
world"
Addressing a Temple University
alumni dinner last night, Gen. But
Ter declared bombers have not yet
been built with SUFFICIENT range to
fly the Atlantic and return to their
home bases
IF they could do that" he asked,
why should Hitler send l,OOO, 900
men into Holland and Belgium for
air bases against England?

designed to afford more effective

does not reflect any intention to

public interest. No monetary

Ambulance Drivers
Do Dangerous Job
In Battle Areas
American Volunteers
Feel Somebody's Got
To Do Something
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 23.-Some 60
in quest of adventure, some for
love of France, some because they
feel strongly that somebody's got
to do something"
They're the American volunteers
for the ambulance corps in the war
Zone-nearly a dozen of whom now
are reported as missing with their
cars"
Some are bluebloods with Park
Avenue addresses. Twelve OF 38
drivers in one unit are Harvard men.
Smartly-clad society girls came
down to the pier when some OF them
sailed to kiss the boys good-by."
Some of them were babies when
the World War ended, and some
gave the birth date 1919" when
they volunteered, and listed under
occupation, student; and one, now
reported as missing, wrote in the
space marked career, Haven't had
career yet. Sorry"
A few were older, born as far
back as 1898: drove an ambulance
in the last war, or had big brothers
in action. A few had no jobs to
leave, and some were bored with
droning along at the jobs they had
Don't Talk About Danger.
When they passed the corps heads
appraisal and were told "Okay, you
can CO." they were quite aware of
the danger.
They don't talk much about dan
ger, though" said an aide in the Of
flee of the American Field Service
which carried from the front line
trenches more than half a million
wounded in the last war and now
Is engaged in the same task.
An urge for adventure doesn't
necessarily make a man unfit for
the job, said James Wood Johnson,
president of the American Volunteer
Ambulance Corps.
"Once they have carried a load
of wounded men they understand
what the job is. I ask them If they
understand the danger involved and
they all say they do
All the corps insists the men shall
know there's job to do-a payless
job yielding only bed and board, the
hours uncertain and the hazards not
small.
Pay Own Expenses.
The fact that the boys pay theix
own expenses across-in one corps
the men even buy their uniforms
accounts in part for the heavy list
ing from the better-t -than-average
income ranks.
There are no social strings at
tached Health, sense of response
bility and ability to drive care are
the main requirements.
One of the volunteer ambulance
drivers is young investment broker,
one a former insurance broker. one
a planter in Tahiti, one cattle
breeder.
One wrote on the space for
career" that he was painter of
pictures, "unsaleable."
1t costs about $4,000 to put an
ambulance in the field and main
tain it.
Members of the New York Stock
Exchange decided to donate one to
the French government instead of
giving prizes at their coming golf
tournament.
