Worlds Fairs Second
Bomb Score Is Harmless
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 6-Crowds at
New Yorks World Fair got their
second bomb scare in a week today.
But this time, instead of deadly
explosive similar to the one which
took two lives Thursday and in
jured seven, it proved to be only a
package containing-women's silk
stockings and a handkerchief.
The package was discovered in the
British Pavilion-the same structure
in which the death dealing bomb
was found two days ago. It was
rushed from the pavilion into the
little-used area where the earlier
explosion occurred
Members of the police bomb squad
hastened the package into lava
tory and there examined it with q
portable X-ray machine, which dis
closed no bomblike structure.

Army Is Said 10 Favor
Compulsory Training
AT S21 Regular Pay
Is Reported Opposed to
Weakening Experienced
Personnel to Truin Men
BY ROBERT BRUSKIN.

The Army was authoritatively re-
ported yesterday to have decided on
urging compulsory military training,
but with the proviso tnat conscripts
be paid on the same scale as Reg
ular troops-S2l month instead of
SIS as contemplated in the Burke
Wadsworth bill now before Congress.
The Army also is expected to urge
that precautions be taken against
stripping the Army OF experienced
personnel to trair. recruits, thereby
creating danger of leaving the Ma
ton without comba, force trained
and equipped TO take the field in
stantly, If needed Authorities init
mated this might be in the form of
recommendation that fewer than
500 600 youths oe inducted irnmedi-
ately and that the number be in
creased gradually as experienced Of
ficers and non-commissioned officers
become available.
Call Reserve Officers.
Basing their beliefs on previous
utterances of Gen. George C. Mar
shall, chief of staff and other high
officers, congressional sources sup
posed-without official confirmation
that the War Department would
further recommend calling up of
most of the 117.000 Reserve officers
and much of the higher personnel
in the National Guard to help train
conscripts
recommendations OF the Army
and the Navy-will be made Tuesday
to the Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee, which is conducting hearings
on the Burke Wadsworth bill pro-
viding for registration and selective
service Of all physically fit Ameri-
can men from 18 ID IS.
The pending legislation provides
for salaries of IS month to the men
summoned for eight months of mill
tary training, of whom 81 per cent
would be from 81 to 81 years, and
the remainder up to As.
Would Raise Pay to S21.
Experienced officers, however,
pointed out the danger to morale
of differentiating between Regular
Army privates, who receive S2l
month, and conscripts who will be
required to perform similar duties at
IS, barely enough to provide for
minor necessities which the Army
does not ordinarily provide.
The Army has had, recent expert
ence in this aspect of morale. When
the Civilian Conservation Corps was
formed, Army personnel was as
signed to camps for administrative
duties, with regular pay at $21, less
10 per cent cut then in effect as
an economy measure. The C. c. c.
enrolleeS, younger and required to
perform less arduous labor, were
paid $50 month, although $25 was
sent to their parents. The con-
traSt was too harsh, and soldiers

Federal Employees
Now Total Million;
More 10 Be Added
Nationwide Broudcosts
Will Recruit Workers
For Defense Jobs
By ]. A. FOX.

Civilian employment in the Gov
ernment is at the million mark. If
it has not already passed that fig
ure. it was estimated unoficially
yesterday as plans went forward at
the Civil Service Commission to
speed up the enrolment of vitality
needed skilled workmen for the vast
national defense program. with a
series of Nationwide broadcasts.
Under the impetus of defense ex-
penditures-along with the upbuild-
ing of the decennial census force
job placements are being made from
employment registers here at the
rate of approximately 1000 weekly.
A large part of this employment is
for local agencies, but some also
engineers for example-go to field
establishments. The IS district Of
fees of the commission also recruit
for the units outside of Washing
ton. but pending reports from these,
the commission can only estimate
the size the mushrooming forces
are reaching.
959,146 on April 30.
The last date for which known
employment figures are available
was April 30, when local agencies
reported 1857 persons employed,
and those in the field 829 .469. for
a total of 959146. The May figures
will be available early this week.
boosting this total, and it is the
June report of the commission, due
out the first week in August, that
is expected to see the million mark
passed for the first time in the his
tory of the Government and to
give, incidentally, the best picture
yet available of the effect of the
arms program on employment. The
peak of World War employment
November II, 19!8-was under 918,-
900. but that total was exceeded a
year ago by the ordinary expansion
of New Deal activities.
The principal increases, of course,
will be in the agencies intimately
connected with the defense pro-
gram, but the growth of these in
evitably will be reflected in the eX-
pansion of other groups, such as
Treasury and Civil Service
Three Broadcast Systems Available.
In taking to the air for the re-
cruiting drive, the Civil Service
Commission will have the use of the
facilities of the National, Columbia
and Mutual systems. which will put
on spot" announcements of per-
sonnel needs periodically. This pro-
gram is scheduled to 60 on tomor-
row or Tuesday, and will be based
on telegraphic advices from the
district managers who are to keep
in constant touch with the commits
sion as to the number and kinds of
openings in the Federal establish
ments in their respective territories.
- Mechanical tradesmen, shipbuild-
ers, precision instrument makers,
aircraft tradesmen and other trained
w~rkmen are in great demand at
navy yards, arsenals and air sta
tions, but the commission is empha-
sizing that there is a surplus of
clerical and unskilled labor, and
that no applications are being ac-
cepted for this work. Attention also
is being called to the fact that the
examination for punch machine
operators. which was to close to ap-
plicants July "a, is being kept open.

OUR OUTSTANDING CONGRESSMAN

All indications point to the reelection of Con-
gresham Bob Secrest by big majority. The
longer Mr. Secrest remains in congress the more
valuable his services. He is real congressman
and the people of no place in the country is more
ably represented in the United States congress
than Ohios Fifteenth district. When Mr.. Sc
crest set himself about the gigantic task to have
the federal government take over the Muskingura
kingum Conservancy district, and with it the
flood assessments, thought it could be
done, but Mr.. Secrest almost lone-handed ac-
complished it. His work has been equally eff
cient in hundreds of other undertakings.
In his service to the people of this district, he
lays politics aside and no one ever called on him
for assistance, but they received it, if the cause
was worthy. We believe the voters of this dis
trct appreciate his worth, and will show that ap-
probation at the polls next Tuesday.
This Friday evening Mr.. Secrest will speak
here in the Opera House. He is the cleanest
campaigner to be found any place Don't fail to
hear him.

MARTIN L. DAVEY

Martin L. Davey has conducted a thorough

and through paid advertisements He has pre-

named, during this campaign, and has covered it
so well and in such plain manner that the peo-
pie are familiar with it. He has served as gov
ernor of Ohio. During his two terms of office as
governor all sorts of charges were brought
against him, and none of them were proven. Had
a fractional part of them been true, he would
have prison terms of hundreds of years facing
him. They were raised as campaign issues Mr.
Davey is open and above board. People know
where he stands and know that what he promises
he performs. He has served as governor of this
state-and so has John w. Bricker Compare the
two administrations, and observe what big diff
ference there is in favor of Mr.. Davey.

this: The county commissioners have say
in fact practically all say to where and how
WPA road money is being spent. If some out of

been improved by WPA money, don't blame the
