EMBEZZLED SUM
 ,. OF $2,5OO,OOO
Robert J. Boltz Captured in Rochester; Is Brought
 Back to Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Feb. IA - (UPo - Handcuffed to two Philadelphia de- tectives, Robert J. Boltz, accused of embedding more than $2,5OO,OO0 from bankers, induStrialists and so- cial leaders, came home today to face charges on which he could be sentenced to 1900 years in prison if convicted. A large crowd, which included many of his victims who regarded him as financial genius until he disappeared last October, was at the railroad station when the train which brought him from Rochester, N. Y., arrived. I'm ready to face the music" Boltz said as po- lice escorted him through the crowd to the City Hall police station, where another throng was gathered.
 Police said that neither Mrs. Boltz nor their daughter was among the crowds. Ward c. Henry, attorney whom Mrs. Boltz engaged yesterday, was at the police station when Boltz was brought in but authorities re- fused to let him talk to his client, They said that the city and county of Philadelphia had first claim to Boltz and that he would not be sur rendered to federal officials without court action. Boltz was arrested in Rochester, N. Y, yesterday when he was recognized by Raymond A. Hickcox, Rochester salesman who sold the investment counsellor a market information service and knew him well.

RUSSIA TO KEEP
 ALOOF IN MIX-UP
Will Not Interfere When Nazis Enter Bulgaria;
 But Turkey Is Mystery
By DANA SCHMIDT

\
 Istanbul, Feb. 14-(UP)-Foreign quarters and sources close to the Soviet embassy said today that Rus sia can and will do nothing to inn pede German occupation of Bulgaria.
 At the same time it was said that Axis quarters have attempted to bring pressure on Turkey to per suade her to stand aloof in the event of a German drive across Bulgaria
 It was said that this pressure had failed to result in any Turkish com mitment.
 (Sofia reported that Bulgaria has started negotiations with Turkey in an effort to avoid a Bulgarian Turkish clash in event the Germans enter Bulgaria. These negotiations were said to have produced no tangi- ble results but no offensive move by Turkey is expected so long as Ger many limits herself to mere "occu- patton" of Bulgaria).
 Japanese reports that the Russian Black sea fleet is concentrating neal the Bosphorus and that Russian troops have massed on the Turkish Russian frontier were ridiculed here
 Responsible Turkish quarters called them nonsense"
 Report Not True
 Certain sources suggested that re- ports that the Russians offered Bull garia a mutual assistance pact were not true and had been spread de- liberately for the purpose of allow ing Communists to blame the Bull (Continued on Page D

MERIT SYSTEM TO
 BE INVESTIGATED
Two Representatives and Like Number of Senators
 to Probe Plan

Hartford, Conn, Feb. IA. (UP)-A special legislative committee of two representatives and two senators prepared today to investigate the workings of the states merit system as spokesman for the Connecticut Merit System Association charged:
 There have been many violations of the actual terms of the law"
 The assertion came from Earl c. Shedd, executive secretary of the Merit System Association shortly after the legislature named an in vestigating committee comprising State eSnators Joseph P. Rourke, D., New Haven, and John A. Holbrook, R.. Westbrook; and Representatives Harold 2. Mitchell, R., West Hart ford, mad Joseph P. O'Connell, R., Bristol.
 Shedd's statement said:
 we hear that some department heads use every available Subter- fuge to circumvent the spirit if not the letter of the merit system law. We hear reports that department heads are held up weeks or months waiting for the personnel depart ment to prepare eligible lists.
 we hear that the personnel de- partment is uncooperative.
 We hear that the examinations which are held are not accurate in selecting the best qualified person. We hear that partiality has been shown by examiners. We hear that the spirit of the merit system is vio- lated by the use of non-competitive examinations"
 Gov. Hurley gave his support to the probe. Reported for some time as displeased with the operation of the civil service system, the goyer- nor said:
 Due to the fact that there is a welter of bills on this subject, I think the committee should go into the subject thoroughly to determine how the system operates and how it can be strengthened.
 That objective cannot be at- tained with one or two public hear ings, and I believe an exhaustive study should be made"
 State Personnel Director William IT. Donning said he would cooperate willingly with the legislative investi- gators.

ROOSEVELT MAY
 GET INTO STRIKE
Railway Employees Ready to Cause Trouble at Six
 O'Clock Today

Rutland, Vt., Feb. 14-(UP)- Possible intervention by President Roosevelt was believed the only means of averting the strike of 1900 Rutland Railroad Go. employees scheduled for p. m. today.
 A national mediation board met with Luis G. Morphy, receiver of the bankrupt railroad, and representa- tives of Is railroad brotherhoods last night without reaching basis for postponement of the strike.
 Under the national railway act, MT. Roosevelt could declare an emergency existed, thereby delay ing the strike for 60 days so a Na- tional Emergency Board might in- vestigate the dispute. Such action was requested by Republican Gov. William H. Wills and the Vermont congressional delegation on grounds the railroad was important nation ally and internationally at this time"
 The mediation board asked the brotherhoods to postpone the walk out until March T and requested Morphy to withhold wage reductions of 10 to 30 per cent which he had ordered effective tomorrow.

BY SINEW J. WILLIAMS United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Feb. 14-(UP) = British and German air squadronS today fought mass air battles in the Eng nsh Channel region on scale comparable to the great plane en- agreements of last September.
 The air action flared up on both sides of the over Straits, apparent ly touched off by another sweep of of the French invasion coast by a huge fleet of Royal air force bomb- CTS protected by heavy fighter es- cort.
 (In Berlin the official DNB News Agency claimed that nine spitfire planes were shot down by Nazi in- terceptors when the British at- tempte dto strike inland by air over the French coast. German long range artillery opened up with a bombardment of military objectives in southeast Britain about noon Berlin reported)
 The RAF attack on the French coast between Calais and Cap Gris Neg lasted for several hours. Mist covered the straits of over at in- tervals and the dull thud of heavy explosions was heard from the French coast.
 British observers witnessed nc challenge of the RAF by German fighters during the attack.
 Nazis Roar Into Action
 However, it was not long before great fleet of Nazi war planes roared into action. (Continued on Page 4)
