Change Unnecessary
In Child Labor Laws

Of the District are not necessary
at this time group of club and
welfare leaders yesterday advised
Chairman Randolph of the House
District Committee.
The members said they we're

effort during the war, but that con-
versations with local merchants.
theater managers and other employ
ers OF child labor have indicated
there Is no need for change in the
law.
Change Was Suggested.
The conference was prompted by
the suggestions of Supt. of Schools
Frank w Ballou to Mr. Randolph's
committee last week that some
change in the 7 pm. deadline for
employment of girls under 18 and

Tor the duration of the war. He

remain open one night a week for
the benefit of war employees.

the opinion that adjustments could
be made to handle this problem
without changing the child labor
standards.
Citing statistics of the Childrens

the District of Columbia and that
rs nave prohibitions against night
work for girls under 18.

James A. Mills Dies;
Veteran Of Many Wars
Gird|ed Globe for A.P.
Correspondent Retired
In 1910 After CoIorfuI
Career in Far Places
By the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
VENTURA, Calf, March a.
! James A. Mills, So, veteran Associ.
ated Press foreign stan writer. died
today in Foster Memorial Hospital
He suffered q stroke yesterday.
Mr.. Mills was stricken i'll in Toxic
three years ago, and had been ir
poor health since. He came here
10 days ago with his brother, Tom
They had been on an automobile
tour Of the Pacific Coast.
Mr.. Mills retired on June II, 1910
Following the trail of big news
into out-of- -the-way places OF the
world was the Job which caused
James A. Mills Che was Jim to his
colleagues) to run up a travel record
Of more than SOC, 900 miles. 1t took
him into the Balkans, Ethiopia, the
Near East, India, Manchuria, North
western China and across the
steppes Of Russia; through the halls
OF palaces and chancelleries, into
the mud huts of African natives.
the teeming by-ways of Oriental
cities and the smoke -choked yurts
of Mongolian Nomads.
He Travelled Light.
From those wanderings came for
years a steady stream OF picturesque
news reports and photographs. For
next to being q reporter, Mr.. Mills
was a camera man, and full equip
ment for picture making went along
with his portable typewriter. his
tooth brush and his razor. Asso-
ciated Press legend was that these
articles constituted all that Jim
needed to make hop of 5000 miles
or so from one assignment to =
fresh one.
His news beats were many and as
varied as his experiences. One of
his later scoops was scored August
30, 1885. on the eve Of the Italian
Ethiopian War. when he sent an
exclusive story on the plans Of
American oil interests to obtain a
blanket concession from Emperor
Halle Selassie. 1t brought him
honorable mention In the 1896
Pulitzer awards. The beats" went
back to his 24-hour margin on the
historic Midania pact of October 13,
1922. which prevented war between
Turkey and the Allied powers.
In between were exclusive inter-
views with Queen Marie Of Ru-
mania, King Alexander of Yugo-
slavia, King Zog of Albania, King
Boris OF Bulgaria and many pre-
miers and foreign ministers. A
dramatic two-hour talk with Queen
Marie in August. 1927, as her hus-
band, King Ferdinand, lay dead in
an adjoining room, was character
lied by newspaper editors as "one
of the frankest and most remark
able statements ever given by a royal
head to any newspaperman." 1t was
her first complete review OF her trip
that year TO the United States.
Greece famed into civil war in
the spring Of 1885 with Venezelists
