Woman Is Refused
Repatriation; Asks
Justice Bureaus Aid
Miss Shelley Refused to
Take Oath to Beor'.Arms;
High Court PIeo Sought

Denied repatriation as an Amer
ican citizen on the ground that she
aeolined Ito Lake the. oath to hAar
rarfhs, MiSs Kebecca 4l1lfey, 162EK
street NV, today announced that
she is asking the Department of
Justice to expedite her case to the
Supreme Court. Justice jennings
Bailey in District Court yesterday
Signed an n-order, denying fepatriaaen
to the woman who forfeited her
American citizenship, although ma
tive born, by wedding q German in
this country.
Her case has been to the Supreme
Court before, Miss Shelley explained
today. after having been passed on
unfavorably to her by the Federal
Circuit Court Of Appeals at Cincin-
natl, but she lost out in the highest
court because Of a technicality-she
filed one day too late in petitioning
for a writ Of certiorari. While the
Supreme Court has definitely de-
cided that aliens desiring to become
citizens must swear to bear arms for
the country, Miss Shelley maintains
that 1t has never been decided in the
case Of repatriate.
While she does not belong to any
Of the regularly organized religious
groups, Miss Shelley-who prefers
the use Of her maiden name in pub
lie, although married-asserts that
she is associated with the Fellow
ship of Reconciliation, which is pred
icated ON the Sermon on the
Mount, and is akin to the belief Of
the Quakers.
Miss Shelley explains that she was
born some So years ago in Haw-
thorne, Pa, and was a school teach
er. Her father was a Methodist
minister Of Mennonite ancestors,
who came to the United States with
the Penn colony. Their beliefs for
bid the bearing of arms and the
engaging in war. In 1922 she mar
ried a man who came from Ger
many and who took out his first
papers for American citizenship, but
apparently lost them.
In May, 1881, the County Circuit
Court of Marshall, Mich, refused
her repatriation, she says, as did
the Circuit Court at Battle Creek,
and in 1896, the Federal District
Court at Detroit declined to admit
her to American citizenship again,
and this decision was afI1rmed bv
the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
at Cincinnati, Miss Shelley asserts.
Today she pointed out that it was
evident that Justice Florence Allen
OF that tribunal indicated sympathy
to her cause, but felt herself bound
by the Supreme Court decisions in
the Schwimmer and Mcintosh cases
regarding aliens bearing arms.

Agency than with any other Federal
organization.
I further propose to transfer to
the Federal Security Agency the
Food and Drug Administration, with
the exception Of two activities in
timately related to the work of the
Department Of Agriculture. The
work of the Food and Drug Admin
istration is unrelated to the basic
functions 6f the Department Of
Agriculture. There was, however,
no other agency to which these
functions more appropriately be-
longed until the Federal Security
Agency was created last year. I
now believe that the opportunity for
the Food and Drug Administration
to develop along increasingly .son-
structive lines lies In this new
agency. There is also need for COS
ordination Of certain OF its functions
with those Of the Public Health
Service. To accomplish these OBJ
5ectives, the plan establishes the
administration as a separate unit
within the Federal Security Agency.
Economies: Functions may be
transferred or consolidated under
this Reorganization Act, but the
abolition of functions is prohibited.
Congress alone can curtail or abolish
functions now provided by law. Saw
1ngs must come from administrative
expenses, which comprise only a
small fraction Of Federal expendi-
lures. This precludes the making
Of large reductions in expenditures
through reorganization plans. The
major achievements in reorganiza-
tions under this formula must In
evitably be found in improved man.
and more effective service.
However, some savings In admin
istrative expenses will be possible
under this plan. estimate the i'm
mediate annual savings at approx
mately $500, 600.
Future reorganization needs: The
reorganization plans thus far SUBJ
mitted do not exhaust the transfers,
consultations and additions that
may be necessary and desirable.
Some changes that now appear to
have merit require further study.
It is the responsibility of the Presi-
dent as Chief Executive to see that
needed adjustments and improve.
ments In administrative organiza-
ton are made. But this he cannot
accomplish without
proper statutory authority. The
present Reorganization Act entirely
exempts some Il administrative
agencies from consideration. Fur
thermore, this act expires on jan
uary 20, 194l. /.
! strongly recommend the ne
enactment OF the Reorganization
Act, without exemptions. The strue-
ture and management Of our Coy
ernment, like the activities and sert-
Ices It performs, must be kept
abreast a social and econonuc
change.

 Philadelphia, March 25 Sup port to Irish Republican Army pris- oners who rioted Saturday at Dar- moor Prison, England, was pledged today by the Pennsylvania Post of the I. R. A. veterans.
 In a bitter denunciation of Eng land as "Ireland's only enemy among the nations, the Scourge of the Irish race in the centuries" the I. R. A. veterans met last night to observe the 24th anniversary of the 1916 Easter week rebellion.
 Naturally, the Irish are inter- ested and they understand now, as in the past, that England's difficult ty is Ireland's opportunity" said State Commander J. J. Duignan.

 How did you ask them?"
 "Wouldn't they please if they so desired to do, to increase deposits for mid-year and year-end state- ments," Bitzer replied.
 Bitzer said that lon several oc- casions" he had asked McKesson's to make extra deposits. but could not recall how long the extra deposits remained in the bank.
 Kaufman introduced a $1.000, ,000 check drawn to the New York Trust Co., from the Bridgeport Trust O., in 1926, another for $3s0,000 on the McKesson company and two others totaling $70,O00 on John Jenkins.
 In the questioning that followed Kaufman gained from. Bitzer the admission that any McKesson and Robbins check could have been cashed at his bank without endorse ment.
 | Bitzer testified that Merwin and his wife were the second largest stockholders of the bank. He said he and Merwin had ire. uuently discussed means of obtain l ing extra money when banking bus mess was at . low ebb in 1881 and 1882.

 At the same time Judge MaScolo announced that he will not seek the town chairmanSh:p, and would not accept 1t under any circum- stances. He plans to back former AL derman Charles Sciullo for the hon. or.
 Committee Divided
 A large majority of the 29 town convention delegates are of the group that last fall was identified as the Scully-Smith-Lynch wing of the party. However, the present town committee is about equally di- vided between organization" and reorganization" Democrats.
 Despite MT. Mulville's recommen- dation, 1t appeared this afternoon that at least several of the present town committee would be dropped tonight. Among those said to be slated for inc political axe were Daniel Pickett, Frank Leary and Patrick Flaherty, and possibly few others. The ones scheduled to be dropped presumably were supporters of Senator George T. Culhane in his bid for the Democratic nomination for mayor at the primary last Co., tober.
 Told Mayor Of Intentions
 MT. Mulville, whose announcement of retirement came as a complete surprise, said today that he had in- formed Mayor Scully of his inten- tionS some tune ago. He said he had withheld his announcement to prevent a scramble" for the job. and a wider split within the party. In his announcement of retirement MT. Mulville said he feels that thele . is now substantial harmony" ill Democratic ranks.
 Another possible source of trou- ble tonight was whether or not spectators would be allowed. Judge Mascolo has announced that the convention will be open to the pub- lie. but it was reported that some delegates would cite a party rule limiting attendance to delegates and two reporters. Judge MaScolo de- clared he would fight for an open convention, since that was the po- Hey when candidates were nominat- ed last fall.
 Mayor May Not Attend
 Mayor Scully said he did not plan to attend the convention Unless I'm invited". If the delegates want me there, I'll go", he said
 The town committee elected to- night will meet in the near future to elect town chairman, vice chairman, and secretary.
 Several members of the present town committee have told MT. Mul- vile that they would not serve again unless he continued as towr chairman. His plan to retire ap. parently means that they will with draw.
 Mayor Scully expressed regret a MT. Mulville's decision, and said h. had asked him to reconsider, bu without success.
 MT. Mulville is also retiring a. campaign treasurer for Congress man J. Joseph Smith. He has helt this post for the past six years.
