Early Colonial Loyalty

Fealty to colonies, cities and
towns, as we'll as loyalty and
patriotism to government, was de-
manded of the colonial citizenry 258
years ago, and there were fines lev
led for disparaging remarks against
them. The WPA historical records
survey found that a resident of Bos-
ton was fined 10 shillings in 1851 be-
cause he said that three monsters
were born in Boston," The tech
nical charge was lying.

What toDo
BY PHYLLIS BELMONT

SHOULD a person euer make remark
- 10 the hostess While at the dinner Ia.
bic about her table or the food she serues2
Is it necessary to say thank you" phen
anything is passed to you at the table?
BETTY ID.
Answer-Complimentary remarks
are always in good taste. Every
hostess likes to have her efforts ap-
preciated and to know the guests
are pleased with the dinner. You
might say: Mrs. Rienze, you GER
tainly know how to arrange flowers
your centerpiece is lovely" Or
Wont you tell me how you make
such light, flaky rolls? They are de
licious." Only when you ask to have
something on the table passed to
you is it necessary to say thank
YOU" but not when food is auto
matically passed from one person to
another. In this case, if you wish a
helping, take it, and then pass the
dish to the person next to you.

Lewis Talk Awaited
orIndicafion Of
Choice for President
C.I. O. Chief Will Make
30-Minute Speech Monday
On National Hookup
By OLIVER MCKEE.

With c. I. o. headquarters urging
afihated unions throughout the
country to make arrangements to
schedule the broadcast as part of
their Labor Day meetings, John l..
Lewis, president of the c. I. o., is
preparing a Commute address to be
delivered on Monday over national
hookup.
Mr.. Lewis supported Mr.. Roosevelt
in 1886, but he has not yet indicated
his 1910 choice and politicians are
awaiting his Labor Day speech with
interest.
OF the two score international
unions that make up the C. I. O.,
approximately half a dozen have
definitely gone on record as favoring
the reelection of President Roose-
velt. These include several impor-
tant and influential groups, among
them the Automobile Workers of
America, and the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America. whose
president is Sidney Hillman, labor
representative on the National
Defense Commission. Other C. I.
o. groups, including the powerful
United Mine Workers of America,

Is expressed In informed circles To
advise the Hungarians to proceed
cautiously in their attempt to regain
>TransylvaniA from Rumania.
Confidence that Hungary would
agree to a peaceful settlement was
expressed by the newspaper Cor
riere Padano, which said:
Hungary, in any event, having
borne its fate for two decades will
refrain from exposing the peace to
danger now that justice has found
way"
After Russia won Bessarabia and
Northern Bucovina from Rumania
in June the Hungarians showed q
determination to regain Transyl-
vania, but Germany and italy per-
suaded them then to stay quiet.
Count Ciano was accompanied
from Rome by the German Ambas-
sador. Hans-Georg Viktor Won Mac
kensen; the italian Ministers to
Bucharest and Budapest, who were
believed to have come to Rome to
report on the situation, and num-
ber of Foreign Once officials.

Bank EmpIoye, Dies

Miss Nellie Lichtenstein, 66, Sec
retary with the Washington Loan
& Trust Co. since 1898, died yester-
day in Garfield Hospital after q
months illness.
Miss Lichtenstein is believed to
have been the oldest woman
employe in point of service at q
Washington bank. She was Sec
retary to the first president of the
Washington Loan 81 Trust Co.,
Brainard H. Warner, and to each
succeeding president.
In addition to her secretarial
duties, Miss Lichtenstein edited the
Savings Journal, a monthly publi-
cation of the bank.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs.
Amy Wolf, with whom she made her
home at the Wardman Park Hotel.
Funeral services will be private.

have avoided the third-term issue
Mr.. Lewis has been under consid-
cradle pressure, both from G. I. O.
members and Democratic leaders, to
indorse the third-term candidacy OF
the President, but it is believed
possible he will remain on the side
lines throughout the presidential
campaign.
In recent months Mr.. Lewis has
been at odds with the Roosevelt
administration on many issues. He
is opposing the, selective service bill,
and has sharply criticized the ad-
ministration's foreign policies, on
the ground that they are leading the
country into war, and diverting
attention from unemployment and
other domestic problems. He has
assailed the administration for its
general retreat from the New Deal
front. Recently he has attacked
the administration for awarding
national defense contracts to firms
allegedly violating the Wagner Act.
In the 1895 campaign the C.
I. O., through Labor'S Nom Partisan
League. its political instrumentality,
actively campaigned for the re-elec-
ton of President Roosevelt. The
United Mine Workers made a large
contribution to the New Deal war
chest, as did several other C. I. o.
unions.
Mr.. Lewis is president of Labor's
Non-Partisan League, and unless he
comes out for the reelection Of Mr..
Roosevelt, the league will conf1ne
Its campaign efforts largely to the
election of Senators and Represent
atives with satisfactory labor rec
ords. BY the same token, it will seek
the defeat of Representatives whose
legislative records. as measured by
the c. I. o. yardstick, mark them as
unfriendly to labor.

bombs. At one Midland point 100
incendiary bombs fell in open coun-

Two trains were reported machine

raids, one freight and the other a
passenger train. No casualties were
reported in either attack, although
bullets ripped through the tops of
the passenger coaches.
London's two night alarms, short

ceding nights record six-hour

surplus been spent, an additional
s75 900 could have been spent in gen.
eral public assistance.
Suggested Last January.
1t Is understood that such trans
fers were suggested to Public Assist
ance Division officials as far back
as last January. Asked whether
these transfers were being made
this year. Maj. Donovan replied that
eligibles were being transferred to
the special fund for home care for
dependent children at the rate Of
about 30 a month. This, 1t is ex-
pected, will prevent a surplus in
that special fund this year and will
make available an additional $45, ,00(
for general relief.
The amounts left over for old-age
assistance and pensions for needy
blind appear to have been left over
after all eligible needy have been
cared for. These funds are not SUBJ
ject to transfer.
Despite possession of monthly
statements from the auditors ONCE
showing unexpended balances, public
assistance oficials apparently spent
only a portion Of the amount or
hand.
Unwilling to Fix Blame.
District officials were unwilling to
place the responsibility for the sit
uation, indicating that 1t was prob
ably due to a chain of unforeseen
circumstances. 1t was pointed out
that Welfare Director Robert F.
Bondy took over his post less than
a year ago and that Director Otto
J. Cass of the Public Assistance
Division was absent from his post
for about six months due to illness,
returning May l. Acting in the alb
sence of Mr.. CaSs was Mrs. Helen

German Ambassador to Rome, took
the plane for Vienna.
Berlin sources denied vigor-
ously that Germany and Italy in
tended to "arbitrate" the peace
threatening dispute over Transyl-
vania, but said they would offer
guidance to a real appeasement in
that part of Southeastern Europe.
The official version was that Rib
bentrop and Ciano would "anhalten"
both sides-which means to hold
them to a given task until a con-
crete result is achieved.
: Presumably the purpose of the
conference was to state concretely
why exaggerated claims of the two
sides fail OF axis approval and why
concessions would be welcomed.
Apparently each was to be given
an opportunity once more to state
its case, and then Ribbentrop and
Ciano were to take the floor.
Informed sources in Berlin said
the negotiations would be held in
the Belvedere Castle, once the resi-
dence of former Austrian Chancellor
Kurt Won Schuschnigg.
Similar Role 2 Years Ago.
Both Won Ribbentrop and Count
Ciano played similar diplomatic roles
two years ago when they adjusted
Hungarian claims for Slovakian ter
ritory with a firm hand.
Pending fresh developments on the
British war front, news of the i'm
pending Vienna conference was the
chief source of interest in official
circles in Berlin.
Nazis emphasized that it was of
the highest Importance that peace
be preserved in Southeastern Eu-
rope. To that end, it was explained.
the status of Rumania-with which
the Reich has important trade
agreements for the delivery of
vital war supplies-must be clarified
not only with respect to Hungary,
but also with respect to Soviet
Russia.

Benefits 10 Rail. Workers
liberalized by Senate
By the Associ 4 ted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Amendments to hberalize unem-
ployment benefits to workers under
the 1898 Railroad Unemployment
Insurance Act have been approved
by the Senate and are headed for
the House.
Senator Wagner. Democrat, OF
New York, sponsor of the amend
ments, pointed out in debate yes
terday that $130,000,00 had ac-
cumulated in reserves and argued
that unemployed railroad workers
now receive. "pitifully inadequate"
benefits-an average OF 81 weekly.
Senators Gurney, Democrat, OF
South Dakota and Reed, Repub-
lican, Of Kansas, on the other hand,
declared that accumulation of such
a reserve called for a reduction in
the per cent pay roll tax on rail-
roads They favored smaller in
creases than Senator Wagner pro-
posed.
Senator Wagner said his amend
ments, which were adopted, would
increase the waiting period before
unemployment compensation started,
would increase maximum days of
payment from 80 to 100 and would
liberalize numerous other provisions.
Present unemployment payments
for IA days range from $12.24 to $21.
The amendments would increase the
amount to a range of $l7.50 to $40.
