Federal Workers Told
Pension Merger Plan
May Be Revived
By the Associated Press.

~ tne Att0cleteo Ptese.
DENVER, Colo, Sept. 5.-Federal
employees attending the National
Federation Of Federal Employees
convention were told yesterday that
ian irisidious scheme" has been
formulated to merge the retirement
system Tor Federal employees with
the Social Security setup.
Addressing the more than $50 dele
gates ut the federation's 18th meet
ing, President Luther C. Steward
declared that the first "furtive at
tempt" was thwarted, but 1T can be
anticipated that other attempts will
be made"
"The jealous but misguided indi-
viduals who advocate some merger,
in whole or in part, will never rest
because Of temporary rebuffs," he
declared. Believers In the Federal
retirement system must maintain
constant vigilance to protect what
they have built up painstakingly
over the years"
Mr.. Steward called for an 'orderly
transition" Of the Federal service
from war to peace footing so that
Government functions will not be
impaired. He warned that there
is more than a hint" of a movement
to repeat the wholesale cutting" OF
1888.
There is more than hint Of this
kind Of illogical thinking in the de-
mands already heard that Federal
personnel be cut by such-and-such
a percentage or by so-and-so many
hundreds Of thousands or even mil
lions. In 1888 we had the same kind
Of arbitrary uprooting which re-
suited only in thes impairment OF
vitality needed public services and
required years of costly rebaildine
thereafter to restore them to theil
former effectiveness"
Mr.. Steward said the NFFE ere.
stated its conviction" that taken a.
whole there are too many Fedora
employees at present. Some i'm.
portant branches of Government
however, remain understafed, h.
4 asserted.

U. 5. |st Army's Bag
OF Nazi Captives in
Belgium Passes 1000
BY THOMAS r. HENRY,
Star War Correspondent.


WITH THE UNITED STATES 1st
ARMY IN BELGIUM, Sept. 5.-The
magnitude of the trap into which
the Germans unwittingly walked
Sunday was increasing today with
more than 1000 prisoners in the bag.
This 1st Army division alone
packed more than 5000 of them into
an old factory building yesterday,
with more coming across the fields,
neceSsitating new cage.
1t was like a war of ghosts, the
scenes witnessed Sunday night
from the windows of fine Belgian
chateau as groups of Germans
emerged from the patches of woods,
where they had hidden all day and
tried to make their way over q
pasture by bright moonlight.
The Americans lay in wait and
let the ferries get half way across
the pasture, where they formed per-
feet marks, then opened up with
'nachineguns. The merciless fire
continued until remnants of the
Germans came slowly forward hands
over their heads.
A lot were flushed at dawn from
haystacks. One group of 800 trying
to escape down a narrow ravine
which they thought afforded shelter.
walked directly into q war prisoner
cage.
Halftracks carrying men came
across the fields-perfect marks.
One shot would send them up in
flames. Over the pasture there
would be a few frenzied screams
from burning men, then silence and
pile of ashes and twisted metal.
This is the biggest harvest in pris-
oners and dead Germans since the
closing Of the Happy Valley" trap

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 21.-R
Neither the democratic nor the
republican party, Gov. John W..
Bricker declared tonight. can
claim exclusive credit for the
progress Of social legislation.
Rather, the republican candi-
date for vice president said. the
credit Is due to 1.-The faith and the
charity of the American people. F"
1.-THE new DEAL" he added in
prepared speech released by his
campaign staff, would have us
believe that until it came to pow
er, no interest was ever shown in
social legislation or the welfare Of
the common man."
The Ohio governor said:
"The new deal cannot rightful
ly claim exclusive guardianship o1
the nations social conscience. Re-
cognition of social justice and hui
name consideration for the op
pressed-the sick, the poor and the
aged is an historical characteristic
of the American people.
''The genuine progress of socia.
Legislation in the United States
is something for which neither poll
teal party nor any specific SCI
of social forces can claim exclu
] sive credit"

Bricker Ayers Neither Party
Can Claim Social Legislation

Each party has helped, he re-
marked, ''but the impetus sprang
from the faith and the charity Of
the American people-from their
recognition of social ills and their
demands that something be done"
I also must be determined,
Bricker continued, how the needy
can be helped without perpetual
ing the causes of need, and how
under any social security plans
1--WE can discourage Incidence and
lethargy, promote initiative and
thrift, and press forward toward
an ideal more precious even than
security-American opportunity

claimed any intention 'to detrac,
from the credit due this admins
tration for the steps forward taker

7rounce Wildcats, 1922

contributing to the point gathering
the winners pushed to a 21-13 lead
at the intermission.
The second half was practically
all Rocky Mount. The spirited
Blacbirds dominated the play as
the Cats played a listless ran
of ball, far below their usual level.
There was no doubt as to VINO
would emerge victorious, as the
attling Bird basketeers displayed
Il whirlwind type of basketball
that completely overcame the brok-
Ell Wildcats. At the end of the
third heat the victors held the big
end of a 37-15 score.
Both clubs used numerous re
serves in the final canto. The Wis
itors substitute cagers continued to
play the same fiery game as the
regular Bird courteers. The con-
tests scoring was ended as Wild
cat Jim Groom tossed in a charity
throw to ring the Cats to a 1922
standing with the Blackbirds.
Lands and Fountain of the visi-
tors paced the engagements with
Is and IL points, respectively.
These two lanky hardwooders were
outstanding factors in the Rocky
Mount victory as they gave the
Birds decided edge in the control
OF the backboards. Their convert
Ing OF rebounds into ,goals netted
he Bird quln- many points.

he still had his fast ball left. An
other was fellow who played foot
tall at Minnesota.
As far as Jim is concerned,
sports is big part of the Ma
rine's life-and an important one
particularly baseball and fights.
while we were in New Zea-
land he relates, I'VE had a big
boxing show once a week, and had
at least one bout every other night
during the week. Tom Heeney, the
old heavyweight-he's in our Navy
now, you know-did most of the
refereeing and turned in a swell
job.
There were regular baseball
leagues, too, and the way the boys
went all out in the game YOU d
think they were playing for a
world series cut.
II remember once we went to
see couple OF New Zealand
teams play their local brand oil
football. We thought it was funny
and laughed at it. So we put on a
big baseball game. A crowd oil
$4,000 showed up to watch it. They
got even - they laughed at our
game"
