Eg Chancellor of the Exchequer Chamberlain brought his early business training and acumen into 9eSd use. He converted the great mass of World War loans into new cues with lower interest rates and SC saved the taxpayers huge sums, although he later was called upon t get much of this back because CT the enormous cost of the coun- tlyg rearmament program.
 Off Geld Standard
 T,a was in charge of the Treasury w -cn Britain departed from the gold
 nGard in 1s31, when the United S ate5 follcwed suit in 1883 and Nh-n war debt payments were halt ed. He had a hand in the muchiJ criticised Ottawa empire confer cnce and in the succeeding ill- starred 1883 world economic conz ferenca at London.
 In 1911 he married Annie Were Ccle, daughter Of an army officer. \ sn. and a daughter were born { them.
 Leader of Die Hards
 FIe was leader sf a powerful group C. die-hard tories As Chancellor c the Exchequer he was said to have been chiefly responsible fol ' o;ng the ineluslea of David Llcyd George in the National Cabinet which Ramsay Mcdonald headed after the financial debaa ale cf the Laber Government in Aug ust. 1881. Later he killed all ehanc- ee cf that governments adopting Llcyd Gocgges new deal schem, of relieving unemployment through public works.
 A WC.ker FGf Peace
 He was an indefatig able worker for peace In and out of the Heus of Commons he vliced his desir9 fci better international understandinss and he appealed tc both his own and other cOuntrymen and to othei nations to discard susplcicns
 But he was far from being pa cifist. He could appeal to Mussclin man to man. for friendship between England and Italy, could frown of ficially and publicly upon propos- als fer sanctions against Japan be- cause Of that country's 1o37 cam paien in China, and could push diplomatic efforts to bring about a workable understanding with Nazi Germany But, also, he was firm supporter of Britain's fabulous re- armament program. a plan which visi0red expenditures totaling ST. r00,O00 900, and he could rely upon that program to show that he would not be pulled or bluffed.
 Shortly after he became Prime Minister rumbles from across the Rhine heralded the hour when Adolf Hitler might demand the return oi Germany's pre-war colonies. In Oe- teber, 1886, Chamberlain, in his iciest manner, declared.
 T can imagine no more sobering thought to any ruler who might be contemplating aggression against his neiehbor, than the Knowledge that within a few hours his action might be followed by retaliation from a force of such terrific striking power as our new Air Force possesses.

Private Trucks Put
Under |. &C. Safety
And Drivers Rules
Order Effective August I
Covers D. c. Vehicles
Going Into Nearby States

Privately owned commercial
trucks operating in interstate COM
merce will come under the safety
and drivers hours-of f-service regu-
lations promulgated by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission on Au-
gust /, the commission announced
late yesterday.
The order covers vehicles trading
out of the District into Maryland
and Virginia for wholesale and re-
tail businesses.
The regulations generally require
that the drivers be 81 years of age
and physically fit. Their maximum
time ION duty" in a week is 60 hours,
with limit of 10 hours actual driv-
ing time in any day They also must
keep a "log" of their service.
The safety requirements covering
equipment do not apply to trucks
operating only in the so-called
metropolitan Area" in adjacent
Maryland and Virginia, but the
hours of service do. The reason for
this difference, it is explained, Is
that local standards of safety opera
tion are deemed sufficient for such,
operation.
Farm Drivers Exempt.
Drivers of farm trucks and sales
men-drivers are exempted from the
60-hour rule. Instead, the commits
sion prescribed a weekly maximum
of SO hours actual driving time.
Ydov %,.,,o o1c ho vi Hvy
youths of l8, and LOG" will not be
required of them, nor must these
drivers pass physical tests.
Officials said that the drivers Of
private trucks covered by the regu-
lations will remain subject to the
30-cent-an-hour minimum wage
prescribed by the Wage-Hour Act,
but will not be subject to the rule
requiring that working hours in ex-
cess of AZ a week be compensated
for by time me-and-a-half pay.
The private operators also will be
exempted for the time being from
filing reports required from contract
and common carriers who have been
under the safety and hour regula-
tions for more than a year The
commission, which is depending on
periodic checkups for enforcement
of the regulations, has insufficient
funds at present, 1t was said. to
set up staff to handle the reports.
$4,000 Trucks Affected.
It is estimated that approximately
$4,000 private trucks will come
under supervision, located in good
part in those commercial centers
near State lines.
The commission order brought q
dissent from Commissioner ALI
dredge.
"It seems to me that there is no
constructive purpose to be accom-
plished by displacing the jurisdic-
ton Of other agencies over this
subject matter, which will be nec-
essary legal effect of our entering
the field, unless we are in post
ton to improve the situation" he
said, adding, 81 do not believe We
are in such a position at the pres
ent time"

Three-Man Control
OF Merit System Law
Sought in Maryland
Legislative Council
Rejects Parole Directors
Move for More Power

ey the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 5.-The
Legislative Council was on record to-
day as favoring a three-man board
and a supervisor to administer the
Maryland merit system law instead
Of a single individual.
The council adopted subcom-
mittee report advocating the board
and supervisor and instructed DR..
Horace Flack, council secretary, to
draw bill incorporating these pro-
visions.
It also disapproved recommended
tions by Parole Director Herman M.
Noser that the parole director be
given authority to grant paroles
and the parole directors term of
Office be increased from two to six
years. Under the present system
the Governor issues paroles on the
parole directors recommendation.
Increase in Staff Urged.
The council, however, favored an
increase in the parole staff. Mr..
Moser asked that three or more
supervisors be stationed in Baltimore
and one or more in each OF the
States judicial circuits.
The Merit System subcommittee
report, submitted by Senator Philip
Dorsey, said: I'VE have received
numerous criticisms as to the opera
ton of the present system and Sug-
gestions were made that some Of
this criticism could be eliminated If
q board were established"
Six-Year Term Proposed.
Maryland seems to stand alone
In having single individual as head
of the department enforcing the
merit system law" the report con-
tinued. your committee recon-
mends that a commission of three
members be appointed by the Gov
ernor for term of six years, the
first members to be appointed for
two, four and six year terms, re-
spectively."
The subcommittee also advocated
that the commission appoint its own
executive officer to supervise and ad-
minister the departments work.
The subcommittee, however, rec
commended that the present State
employment commissioner, Harry C.
Jones, be the supervisor until the
expiration of his present term.
The last Legislature passed a
measure providing for a three-man
board, but the bill was vetoed by
Gov. O'Conor.
