DEMOCRATS TO
 CONCLUDE PLANS

CContsnued fF6m Page lS
 The town convention win be held at g:So D. m. in the aldsrmaniC chamber with 2D delegates and five alternatss eligible to participate. The convention win nominate two repre-. sentatives and 8 justices of the peace. It seemed certain today that william J. Dunphy. well-known druggist and former chairman of the old board of safety during the Guilfciie administration, would, be one of the two nominees for repre- sentative. John MembriTio has the endorsement of the Italian American Democratic club for the other post, but the name of Attorney Clarence V. Balanda has also been proEni- nently mentioned.
 Senatorial
 It was also announced today that the two senatorial district conven- tions would be held Monday night. State Central Committeeman J. Gregory Lynch has called the 18th district session for 7:30 D. m. in pro- bate court room, wlli:e the 18th will be held at the same time in the aldermanic chamber. State Central Committeeman Maurice F. Tangney will preside at this latter one.
 In the senatorial district conven- tions it is the state central commit teeman who has the power to set the place and time of meeting.
 In the 18th Atty. Michael V. Blansfield will be nominated by. the IS delegates and alternates, while Senator Edward P. Eean will be named by a similar delegation in the 18th, both their states of dele gates having been approved by Dem ocratic voters at Wednesdays pri- mary contests.

 add to the conflicts expenses as will the increased production of air. planes. Too, next spring probably will see a great air offensive against Germany by the Royal Air Force, which will be costly.
 Germany now is facing the prob- ability of attempting a new military movement in the middle East, eSpe- cially if the German high command definitely refuses to enGurse Hitler'S plans for an invasion of Britain. An idle German army for the future duration of the war would be hard to associate with Hitler's ambition for complete victory. Added war ex- penses for Germany are therefore as seemingly inevitable for Germany as for Great Britain.
 The present British tax rate being lower than the German proportion ate to expenses gives the British a financial advantage as the war costs rise. The British have larger re- serve in this respect on which to draw. Borrowing capacity has not reached the limit for either side; but for Germany excessive borrow ing carries the peoples memories back to the infiationary period fol- lowing the last war, when German marks eventually became worthless.
 British Finances Better
 h general, Great Britain'S finan- cial strength is much greater than Germany's, SO that the risk of dam gerous imitation is far less. Profess sor Mario Mazzuchelli, Italian econ- omist, stated last month that Ger many's gold reserve totals SYST ,5O0,- 900. This sum includes gold seized in Austria, Czecho oslovakia and else where. Italy's gold reserve, however is only $125, 100000; and Germany must use part of her own metal to bolster the Italian financial struc- ture if it shows signs of weakening
 The British Empires aggregate gold reserves are not definitely known, but they must be five times the German reserve. The per capital wealth of Great Britain far exceeds Germany's, allowing strong CT borrowing power.
 On the other hand, German con- quests on the continent permit economies not open to the British. The entire German army in occu- pied French territory is supported by the French government. This fact accounts for the great numbers of German troops in France, irrespec- tive of their possible concentration for an invasion. The more German soldiers there are in France, the more does Germany save in money and food.
 Germany Buys Too
 Germany, too, has been able to purchase food and material in Eu- rope at low prices made compulsory because the occupied territories are so largely shut of from former for eign markets. In Rumania, the oil companies have been forced to sell at a lower price to Germany than to other countries.
 Nevertheless, on balance, Great Britain has the greater staying power financially. If the war is so heightened as to become struggle to avoid disastrous imitation, the British have a heavy advantage over their enemy.

 QrAndon Of- Of-Rear-Admlral winfield Scott schley, Spanish American War hero, and son Of the late Dr. Ar- thur Davis VarieIl who was knight- ed for his leprosy research, the victim was socially prominent in the Kennebunk summer colony. &
 The Chapel of the First Parish Unitarian church was filled for the rites.
 Capt. John J. Canney, chief Of in- spectors in the Cambridge police de- partment. last night still hoped to talk with Miss Helen M. Lambert 21, of fS7 Barrow St.l New York, one of several persons WHO attended Thursday night concerts given by Variell on his $2,0OO phonograph. The girl had promised by telephone to appear three days ago, but de- layed her visit because of publicity attending the case.
 Insurance Men There
 When Canney made public the suicide ruling yesterday, three ad- justors were present from com- panies in which Variell carried a total $8l 900 worth of life insurance
 The ruling stated that Variell died last Friday, the 18th, and the exact hour apparently was not long after the victim had asked friends in apparent joking mood: If you were going to be executed, what music would you like to be played?" Police found on his photograph a record of his choice, Beethoven's Ninth Sym phony, stopped midway.
 Only hint of the possible motive was given by Canney who said his investigation indicated 1t lay in disappointment over This failure to come up to his own standards" in concert pianofort studies.

HIRING POLICY"
Prescribed Physical Standards Bars
Many Men from Jobs.

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-In
letter to Secretary of Labor Perkins,
Senator James M. Mead of New York
expressed concern about the plight OF
wage earners who are denied jobs be-
cause they do not measure up to GER
tain prescribed physical standards.
Senator Mead urged the Department
of Labor to broaden as fully as pos
sible the scope of the contemplated
study of the problem in order to re-
veal what advantages accrue to man
agement through the pre-employment
examination device, what the effect is
upon the worker and the general
public.

Meanwhile
Volume of production exportable in
1899 was $9,700,000, ,000-
In 1929 it amounted to S52,8O0,-
10000
Which amounted to $40 per cent of
1899 production
Population in 1929 was 162 per cent

Job Opportunities Curtailed

Senator Mead pointed out that
within the range Of his own observa-
tion in recent years the gradual ex-
tension of the e-employment phys
ical examination device has greatly
restricted employment opportunities
for workers who may be somewhat
sub-standard physically, but who are
obviously able to follow their trade or
usual work with no impairment as to
production ability. The Senator
pointed out further that the contin-
uance or further expansion of this
practice will increase the group of
workers dependent upon public relief,
and that the matter therefore involves
substantially general public interest,
particularly because the screened-out
worker more often is in the middle
age group.
"a few years ago." said Senator
Mead, "a workman applying for a
job had only to convince the employer
of his ability to perform the work sat
isfactorily Today in many enterprises
this is only a preliminary step to a
place on the plant payroll. The job
applicant must subject himself and
pass satisfactorily a strict physical
examination, embracing minute lab
oratory tests to disclose hidden de-
fects, actual or potential. This test
tube hiring policy is building up a
larger permanent relief group"
New York Policy Condemned
Senator Mead called to the attention
of Secretary Perkins the action of the
New York State Legislature four
years ago in passing the silicosis
measure, and declaring it to be "the
policy of the legislature to prohibit
through every lawful means available
any requirement as prerequisite to
employment which compels an appli-
cant for employment in any occupa-
tions coming within the purview of
the statute to undergo a medical ex-
animation"
Senator Mead said he believes this
stated policy equally applicable to en-
ployments involving other health haz-
ards.

Benefits To Unemployed
Drop, State Board Says

PAYMENTS of unemployment
benefits are now slowly decreasing
in amount, according to figures
released this week by the statis-
t;cal section of the Maryland I'm
employment Compensation Board.
The total for the week ending
.Julv 6 was $177,652, reduction
of nearly $4,000 from the aggre-
gate for the preceding six-day
period.
Forms for reports covering the
second quarter of the year have
been mailed to liable employers,
and with them went copies of the
revised regulations recently adopted
by the Board. Payment of con-
tributions for the quarter, which
ended June 80, will be due July 20.
Payment is no longer required
on more than $4,000 year re-
ceived by an individual, but this is
due on the first $1,000 received
by the employee in the calendar
wear in accord with the regulation
adopted by the Maryland Unem-
ployment Compensation Board.
