GUN JUMPING DEPARTMENT:
When we have a brainstorm a
year ahead of the manufacturers,
it's rare enough to mention, though
modeStly. Anyway, last year we
toured the town in search Of SUM-
glasses in the harlequin shape-but
to no avail. We could have bought
separate frames and lenses at a
price which has nothing to do with
a fashion writer's salary. This year,
however, ready-made SunglasSes in
harlequin version are available, and
at a figure that is only pale pink on
the budget. So, we're quite happy
about them, even though We look a
little like a menacIng moth in one
of the fur-stOrage adS-or perhaps
it's a 'possum We more closely re-
semble.

Turkey prepared tonight for any

attack from the Axis even though
it was declared that such a develop

There was no official comment on

Foreign circles here held that the
ambitions of Bulgaria are the de-

attitude. They agreed that Turkey
would fight rather than surrender
any territory to give Bulgaria an
outlet to the Aegean Sea and would
not give up control of the Bosphorus
and Dardanelles Straits even if con-

Turkey was believed by foreigners
to be in close touch with Russia on

Bulgarian Soldiers
Invasion Is Deepest
Of Cuts for Greeks
Hopes for Axis Peace Seer
Destroyed if Occupation
Becomes Permanent
By GEORGE WELLER,

Chicago Daily News Foreign CORRESPONDENT
ATHENS, April 23.-As fast as
Greece staunches one of her pitifully
bleeding wounds, Germany opens
another. Bulgaria's invasion of
Northern Greece is such a wound
and goes the deepest of all
If every uprooted human being,
all the soldiers tramping the high
ways, all the women gripping each
others hands in hastily built earthen
shelters, all the Greeks whose hearts
are crying inside them could be
heard in single voice, there would
encircle the world such moan that
it would make the mountains
tremble.
Already Olympus. Parnassus, Ossa
and Pelion are trembling, but it is
the whistle of German bombs, the
beat of propellers, the racket of ma
chine guns, the cracking con-
cussion of giant explosives which
make the olive leaves rustic and the
sheep huddle around their shepherds
flattened to the earth, and the birds
fly whirling in beSeeching circles of
distraction overhead
All this your correspondent has
seen, and what make the experience
almost unbearably terrible, and at
the same time sublime beyond cor
ruption or defeat or victory, is the
patient belief of good, ordinary
human beings that freedom. like a
big, benevolent stork sitting upon his
nest above each village square, will
return to his vacant home.

the driver, held by police since yes

10 minutes before the proceedings
began and admitted he was Reid
and not Hart, as he had told police
repeatedly before that time.
When he took the stand in his
own behalf, young Reid said he was
married, but was unable to live with
his wife and. therefore, was obliged
to go each week to where she was
living in the Southeast to take her
money to help in supporting their
son. He said he lived in the same
room with Hart and when the latter
was out Sunday he took the drivers

The driver, in relating his version
of the accident, declared he had

towards it.

Plan A Applied
Covering Attorneys
In Federal Service

Describing it as Significant
milestone in civil service reform, y
President Roosevelt late today
signed an executive order to make
the Ramspeck Civil Service Exten-
sion Act effective by bringing into
the classified service approximately
10000 positions heretofore exempt
by law.
BY terms of the order. the PreSi-
dent is applying so-called Plan A.
for the appointment of attorneys to
Federal service.
II have" he said. decided to sub
ject Government lawyers like other
professional. men in the service OF
the Government, to the standards
and the requirements of the merit
system. We must shut out consid-
erations of caprice or favoritism. or
worse, in the selection of our law
officers"
Details to Be Worked Out.
Plan A. the President said, COM
mends itself to him as the best
means of making effective the in
duction of legal positions into the
civil service system.
The responsibility for working
out the details for the future recruit
ment of Government lawyers Will be
primarily in the hands of COM
mittee of lawyers, Mr.. Roosevelt
explained.
This committee. the Chief Execu-
tive added. will be one whose pro-
fessional standing and personal
qualities will give assurance of COM
plete disinterestedness. This COM
mittee will serve as an arm. as it
were, of tive Civil Service Commits
sion in working out this aspect of
civil service"
Effective. Generally. January |.
The order signed today, the PreSi-
dent declared, will become generally
effective January l. 1912.
Noting that there are in each
department and agency some posi-
tions of a policy-d determining char
acter which probably should be ex-
empt, the President said that the
Civil Service Commission will i'm
mediately begin consultations with
these agencies to determine such
positions.
In closing the formal statement
which he issued with the order, Mr.
Roosevelt said:
For the first time in the history
of this Government the greatest pos
sible opportunities are now open for
the development of a broad merit
system which will further encourage
men and women of outstanding
ability to enter the Government un-
der conditions which will offer them
fair and equal opportunities to build
satisfactory careers.
The requirements of today and
those of the future are so great that
the services of the best minds in the
Nation must be secured if govern
mental affairs are TO be conducted
in the manner demanded by modern
conditions and at the high level of
ability which a democratic govern
ment owes to the people of the
United States"
The order specifies that the posi-
tions covered shall be within the
classified service as of January l.
Vacancies occurring after June 80
of this year will be filled in accord
ance with civil service rules.
After the positions are brought in
their incumbents will qualify for
civil service status by non-com-
petitive examination.
