1t was that way with Chatterer the

OF those six eggs Of Bully the Eng

that he hadn't thought OF trying
to get them, but that he had stayed
at home and attended to his own
affairs. Here he was smarting from
the wounds that he had received
from the stout little bills OF Bully

Announcement

AS a contribution to the war
effort the Washington News
papers will, effective next Sun
day. suspend the making of
special deliveries TO subscribers
who fail to receive their daily

order to conserve rubber and
vital transportation facilities.
The Washington Newspapers
request subscribers TO continue
to advise their Circulation De-
partments by post card or letter
when necessary, and not by
telephone, regarding theft and
non deliveries, in order that
remedial measures may be
taken TO assure regular deliv-
cries so far as possible.
As their contribution, car
riers have pledged an "all-out"
effort in order to maintain, as
far as possible, their standards

local carrier delivery order as 1t
applies to newspapers. the spokes-
man said. He explained that 1t was
unlikely that such requests would be
handled on an individual newspaper
basis.
The letter of the order, 1T was ex-
planned, apparently would not pre-
vent delivery of two different edi-
tions to two neighboring homes or
newsstands, although such would be
regarded as q violation of It's spirit.
Asked about the effect of the one
trip-a-day delivery of few news
papers which publish around the
clock under one name, the o. D, T.
spokesman said it appeared possible
that but single delivery could be
permitted.
1t was indicated, however. that
many such problems are to be taken
up by the o. D. T. and industry
representatives. 1t was explained
also that Joseph B. Eastman, direc-
tor of o. D. T. could grant such
general or special permits as might
be necessary.

today that Lord Beaverbrook was

an expression of approval or disap-
proval from Prime Minister Church.
ills spokesman.
Under sharp questioning, Clement
r. Attlee, dominions secretary and
Mr.. Chuchills deputy, told the
House only that the Prime Minister
had seen newspaper reports of the
speech and his authority was not
required, since Lord Beaverbrook
was free to express his own opin-
ions.
Urged Blow Aid to Russia.
The British publisher is in the
United States on a special mission.
He told the American Newspaper
Publishers Association a week ago
that the Allies, to ease the load on
the eastern battle front, should:
Strike out to help Russia. Strike
out vigorously. Strike even reck-
lessly."
Four Conservatives-Co Rob-
ert Bower, Francis Douglas, Earl
Winterton and Maj. Victor Cazalet-
wanted to know what Lord Beaver
brooks status was in relation to the
government.
Some questions implied they be-
lieved the speech was reckless and
might do "incalculable harm"
Mr.. Attlee replied that Lord
Beaverbrook was not holding q def
mite appointment.
He was undertaking a special
mission of an informal kind and he
is not in the same position as some
one directly In the employ of the
government" the dominions secre-
tary said.

There was loud laughter when Mr..
Attlee concluded:
He is still doing certain infor-
nation work.
Lord Beaverbrook headed Brit
aims propaganda department. later
succeeded by the Ministry of Infor-

World War. His last position in the
cabinet was that of Minister of War

AS the order stands, no more than

Ban on Dependenci
As Deferment Cause
Seen in Senate Bill
Johnson Of Colorado Seeks
Doto on Cost Of Plan
His Measure Involves

Fy the Associated Press.
Senator johnson, Democrat, oi
Colorado suggested today that "de.
pendency as cause of deferment'
from military service might be elm
mated by congressional approval OF
a measure now before the Senate
Military Affairs Committee.
Men with wives, children, parents
or others to support would be able
to join the fighting forces If the
Government assured them that their
dependents would be provided for,
he explained.
Senator johnson said, however,
that as chairman of the subcom-
n1ittee in charge of the bill he
would press for some sort of esti-
mate on the cost to the Govern
ment before trying to bring the
measure up in the Senate.
Wants Data on Cost.
IT want some facts on costs be-
fore I'll even dare show up in the
Senate" Senator johnson told re-
porters. Il also think Congress is
entitled to know how many people
this will affect"
Witnesses from the War and Navy
Departments testified yesterday that
a number OF men with dependents
already were serving in the armed
forces and indicated that many
more probably would be drafted as
soon as some system for aiding de-
pendents was approved.
This thing is good deal more
complicated than a lot of us ex-
pected," Senator johnson said, re-
ferring to conflicting testimony
yesterday about a proposal to give
the Federal Security Agency au-
thority to make supplementary
grants in hardship cases."
Under the pending measure, wives
and children of men in the armed
services would be given preferred
status as Glass A dependents, with
$40 deducted monthly for their sup
port from the pay of men in lower
grades. To this the Government
would add $40 for the wife, making
a total of $40 monthly, and $40 ad-
ditional for each child. Thus a
wife with three children would re-
ceive $40 q month, Of which $40
would come from her husbands pay
and the rest from the Government.
Others Could be Aided.
Class B dependents would include
parents, brothers, sisters and grand
children. If the enlisted man want
ed to aid any one in this class and
had other dependents, he would add
IS to the $40 deducted for Glass A
dependents. The Government then
would add SIS 4 month for one par
ent. $25 for two, and IS for each ad-
ditional brother, sister, grandchild
or parent up to maximum Of $50
monthly for Glass b dependents.
The proposed Hardship case"
payments by the Federal Security
Agency, amounts not specified,
would be in addition to these pay
ments. 81,
Senator johnson, eontending this
would amount TO BLANK check
against the Government, said it
might be better to raise the rate
OF the uniform schedule instead.

Mussolini Denounces
Lack of DiscipIine'

BERN, Switzerland, April 80 (R.-
italian newspapers disclosed yester-
day that Premier Mussolini, in his
Tuesday conference with Fascist
projects of the realm, assailed "a
certain lack Of discipline" in addi-
ton to discussing the problems of
food, transportation and imports.
The newspaper La Tribuna. COM
menting on the meeting, said the
food problem, which "Already was
grave, has now worsened because of
the necessity to aid peoples of the
occupied regions"
The food problem, Mussolini told
the projects. involved the dif1iculty
OF transportation and import, plus
the fact that in the last year a
mediocre harvest forced adoption of
rationing, especially bread, to a level
so low as almost to touch the
limit"
Lack Of Discipline.
THE secondary cause of uneasi-
ness" Mussolini was said to have
declared, is cheats and the lack of
discipline of certain persons"
These persons, he said, had been
and Will continue to be "inexorably
struck" They are considered trail
tors and will be shown no mercy"
The country's total energy, Musso-
hni added, must be directed at the
war aims. To this end, civil mobil-
ization of labors will be considered
military matter, with those fail
ing to respond being called before q
military tribunal.

points indicated.
One Rome report said the italian
birth rate had risen since the ma
ton entered the war as an Axis
partner, but that infant mortality
had tripled. Hardships were re-
fected in a lighter weight average
OF the war babies, it was said.
A traveller who left Italy recently
said the people still listened to for
eign radio broadcasts despite a gov
ernment order against the practice
and jamming of British programs.
A sharp rise in the price of jew
elry was reported to have accom-
panied decline in the purchasing
power of the lira, despite Musso-
lini's cry against "the buying of
antiques"
A jewelry collection valued at 40
600 lire before the war sold recently
for BOO. 900 lire, it was said, and most
dentists now require patients to
bring their own gold-taken from
jewelry-if they want that metal put
