G. o. P. nomination for the United

Mr.. Nice said in Baltimore that
he would seek the seat now held by
Senator Radcliffe, Democrat, and
that he had filed his certificate with
Secretary Of State Frank Petrott.
Wearing his characteristic broad
smile and exuding confidence, the
former executive, who was defeated
by Gov. O'Conor when he ran for
a second term in 1898, declared he
has been overwhelmingly encour-
aged" by a study made to ascertain
the reception his candidacy would
be accorded.
He explained that tor more than
a year he and his friends, includ-
ing leaders, workers and central

in making an intensive and dill

more than 10000 Republicans"

AS a youth in Berlin, hating to

he was given his first theatrical

Federal Judge Calls
Gov. Rivers 10 Court
On Martial lockout
~r-.n o. 3 g.ar -~E s~F
Guard Officer Also Must
Show Cause Why They
Ignore Injunction
BY the Associated Press.


MACON, Ga, Jan. n. District
Judge Bascom Deaver today ordered
Gov. E. D. Rivers and Adjt. Gen.
John E. Stoddard into Federal Court
February IA to show cause why they
should not obey State Court in
junction against military lockout
Of ousted road chief w. L. Miller.
In an action believed unprec-
edented in Georgia, Mr.. Miller is
seeking a permanent Federal in
junction against the martial law
clamped on the Highway Building
by Gov. Rivers after a State Court
ruled against his custer of the road
chairman last month.
Gov. Rivers withheld comment on
the new order. 1t does not affect
the martial law status of the road
Office pending outcome of the VAL
entine Day hearing here before
Judge Deaver and two other Federal
judges. The Chief Executive and
his National Guard chief may ap-
pear through counsel.
The deposed ofncial appealed for
Federal aid under provision of the
United States Constitution that no
State shall deprive any one of prop
erty without due process of law"
and under a constitutional prohibi-
ton against denying equal protec-
ton of the laws"
He contended the controversy in
volved his property right in the
$500 annual salary paid the State
highway chairman. His original ap-
pointment in 1887, confirmed by the
State Senate, was for a term ending
in 1943.
For ignoring orders against mill
tary interference with Mr.. Miller,s
efforts to re-enter the chairman's S
Office, Gen. Stoddard was sentenced
to Jail for contempt of court by
Superior (county) Judge w. r.
Smith. But when a sheriff sought
to arrest him, the troop chief pro-
duced a full pardon from Gov.

make concessions to the Congress
Party which were unacceptable to
the Moslems without risking reper-
cussions in Afghanistan, to say
nothing of Egypt, Turkey and Ma
laya. Probably for the moment the
Russians have no more than a nui-
sance value, even If they become
definitely hostile to Britain.
But this is not the whole story.
Britain has another potential enemy
in Asia, an enemy which possesses
at present a superior sea power, In
deed about the only important
naval force in all the vast region
between the Suez Canal and the
Hawaiian Islands Japan. That
the Japanese will not take advant-
age, as they always have before, Of
European complications, in order
to achieve their Asiatic ends, would
be wishful piece Of optimism un-
likely of realization. They cannot
get at India directly with any ease;
but they can make great deal OF,
trouble for British interests farther
east, and in the general scheme of
imperial defense Singapore (now
partly garrisoned by Indian troops)
is the outpost for watching develop
ments in East Asia, while for Sim
gapore the advance base is India
itself.
If India is thus to serve in the
double capacity of a base for Far
Eastern observing forces and for
the great concentration in the
Middle East, while maintaining as
we'll its own internal and external
defenses, it is obvious that pretty
severe strain is going to be put
on its resources and its political
and economic structure. Yet 1t is
clear enough that trouble in the
Mediterranean with Italy or even
the present situation in which units
of the Mediterranean fleet are
serving in the Atlantic so that COM
munications through that sea. are
not assured by the presence there
of adequate naval force, might i'm
pose upon India this very condition.
An additional guarantee against the
interruption of these communica-
tions is the presence of the great
Allied Army gathered now about the
Suez crossroads, but what might
happen were the support Of India
to that army interfered with either
by internal disorder or by Far East
ern complications?
The situation Is not Immediately
perilous, but it may become so. It
is here set forth in an endeavor to
show the curiously balanced and in
terdependent military and political
fabric of the British empire, and the
key position which India occupies
therein. One might not - for ex-
ample-think that Lord Linlithgow's
dealings with Mahatma Gandhi
were of any particular military con-
sequence at the moment; yet they
might easily take a turn which
would shake the empire to its foun-
dationS.
It is, of course, certain that these
conditions are as fully appreciated
by the realistic thinkers in Rome as
in London: and Italy's control Of
the central Mediterranean. becomes
almost daily a larger though still
quiescent factor in the progress of
the war behind the scenes"

Social Service School

Must Help Develop
Welfare Program,
She Tells Conference

The function Of the Nations So
cial service schools is ito help in
the development Of the social vel
fare program" not just to train
social service workers, Edith Abbott,
dean Of the University Of Chicago
social administration school, de-
clared yesterday.
Miss Abbott, one of the outstand-
ing leaders in the field Of social
service training, spoke as q member
Of the panel discussing Civil
Service Selection and the Profess
sion of Social Work." at the closing
session Of the three-day conference
of the American Association Of
Schools Of Social Work at the May
flower Hotel.
Consideration of the trend in the
shift of the welfare burden from
private to public agencies occupied
the more than 800 delegates who
met to discuss latest developments
in the field Of Federal, State, county,
municipal and private welfare.
Must Work With Officials.
Social service schools, Miss Abbott
emphasized, must work in co-opera-
ton with public officials in order
to find way to bring efficient public
service" in the extension of civil
service selection to personnel for
public social service.
The difhculty experienced in
equitably evaluating a candidates S
education, or eligibility for taking a
competitive examination was point
ed out by Miss Faris Beehler of the
Maryland State Employment Com
mission. t
In this connection Albert H.
Aronson of the Social Security
Board, another member of the panel,
said the problems presented a "chal-
lenge to social service schools to
produce adequate tests by collabo-
rating with public ofI1cials."
"A merit system" he added, "can
be discredited, and should be dis
credited II examinations are such
that they fail in the selection Of the
proper personnel"
Jackson Describes Problems.
One Of the problems to be over
come with the extension Of civil
service, was described by Glenn
Jackson, New York State Depart
ment of Welfare, as the possible
assumption of permanency" in ap-
pointments by workers.
Miss Abbott, commenting on this
point, said the schools must suggest
adequate tests to show the incom-
petence Of such workers." and must
also TRY to make people understand
they have no right to stay in public
service if they are not competent"

Elizabeth Cosgrove Of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission, spoke of one posi-

Ernst Lubitsch Berotes Idea
Women Lack Sense of Comedy
To Men They Seem
Very Funny Says
Film Director
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-The idea
that women in general have some-
what dour sense of humor and are
inferior to men in wit is a myth
men never have believed. ITO men,
women seem very funny"
1t was Ernst Lubitsch speaking
the man under whose film direction
Greta Garbo laughed in 'Ninotch-
ka." He meant, he explained, that
women have an extremely keen
sense Of the comic, which men see
in them more quickly than they do
themselves.
mo actor-indeed, no person-is
really great unless he has sense
of humor," continued Mr.. Lubitsch,
meditatively putting a big cigar.
Mr.. Lubitsch, famed for a certain
twist Of deft comedy known as "the
Lubitsch touch" is now, for the
first time since he came to America,
an Independent producer and di-
rector, with his own company. A
Lubitsch team also seems to be in
process of formation. His pretty
English wife, Vivian Gaye,
probably will be his story editor.
"If he pays me-" she said firmly.
Il shall not work without pay"

Mr.. Lubitsch, lounging in a big
chair in their suite at the Ambas-
sador, eyed her and chuckled, "She
threatens me. She says she's had
bigger offer from another firm
"She certainly will have to get
up earlier than she does now if she
wants to work for me-"
'I'I do that if I am paid" re-
torted Mrs. Lubitsch.
The forthcoming pictures will be
released through United Artists.
Mrs. Lubitsch did some practice
chores this week and discarded TOO
stories.
The late Ray Long, magazine edi-
tor, taught her to read straight down
the middle of the page at a great
rate, swiftly and accurately judging
the content.
She can read about 1000 900
words a week, and still find time
to play with her l5-month- -old
daughter, Nicola.
Mr.. Lubitsch met her as literary
agent. She sold him a story, and
soon afterward, they were married.
That was four and half years ago.
