Plot Between Berlin
And Moscow Hotehino

September 26-"We have already
said that during the last few days
some sort of plot was Matching
between Moscow and Berlin and
today we have had a confirmation
Of it from Rosso Ambassador in
Moscow. 1t seems that Won Rib
bentrop has returned to Moscow to
sign a genuine military alliance,
giving Bessarabia and Estonia to
the Russians, and the remaining
part of Romania to the Germans.
Absolute silence from Berlin.
THE Germans prepare to strike
blow without our knowledge every
time. The alliance between
Moscow and Berlin is monstrous
union made against the letter and
spirit of our pact. It is anti-Rome
and antf-Catholic. 1t is return of
barbarism against which it is our
historic mission to rise with every
weapon and resource. But will it
be possible for us to do so? Or has
not the game been decided tragically
already?"
September 27-"Berlin gives us
absolutely no information. 1t is
from the press agencies that we
learn that Won Ribbentrop has left
for Moscow. On the excuse that his
time was so limited, Won Ribbentrop
refused to receive Attolico.
II Duce received Comdr. Pecori,
our naval attache in Berlin, to dis
cuss German requests for naval as
sistance. They would like sub
marine supply stations from us, aid

On Retirement
Tells House Members
They Have Been
Leading Dogs Life

Chief Judge George p. Barse of
Municipal Court told members of
Congress today they have been lead
ing pretty much of a dogs life"
and should proceed to include them
selves in the Federal retirement
system.
What with their past rates of
pay and the heavy drains on their
resources" he said, 1T is rather
amazing the constructive legislative
program that has been achieved"
A witness before the Randolph
Subcommittee of the House Civil
Service Committee. Judge Barse
recommended that the doors be
opened to present members Of Con-
gress. He went further to suggest
that older members of Congress be
excused from paying some of the
thousands of dollars which would
be due In salary deductions for past
years Of service.
Recommends Easy Payments.
Judge Barse recommended d
change in the Norton bill so that a
member of Congress would not be
required to make back payments
toward the Federal retirement fund
for more than 10 years-for a total
of 5000. He suggested also that
such members be permitted to catch
up with these back payments over
a period OF years, with monthly or
payments.
Tcstifying as q member of the
Board of Directors of the Federal
Club, which consists of several
of the higher ranking Fed
eral ofIicials, he said he could see
no valid objection to retirement for
of Congress. 1t should
help to keep good men" in the serv-
ice, he added.
The longer q man remains in the
House and Senate, the more valu-
able he should be. because Of his
experience and knowledge.
But the more difficult it Is for
him to return to some private occu-
patton. There is even greater equity
for including him in the retirement
system than the average Civil Serv-
ice employee. whose tenure Is rela-
lively more secure" Judge Barse
declared.
La Toilette for Action.
Later, during a discussion Of
whether the plan for members of
Congress should be made effective
now or after the next congressional
election, Chairman Randolph asked
Representative La Toilette, Repubh-
can, of Indiana if he had any
questions.
No. said Mr.. La Toilette, but
might as we'll make a declaration.
If it Is right to. vote to permit the
fellows, who come along later to
participate In the plan, it Is right
for those now here. I'm ready to
vote for the sitting members. If 1t
is right, why give a damn"
His point, he said, was that to
hesitate or be timid would only raise
a suspicion there must be something
wrong about it.
Others indorsing the plan today
included Representative Murdoch,
Democrat, of Arizona; DR.. Edgar B
Brossard of the Tariff Commission,
and ]. Russell Leech Of the Tax
Court of the United States. A letter
Of approval came from Chairman
Oscar B. Ryder of the Tariff Com
mission. Opposition was registered
by letter by Representative Beck
worth, Democrat, of Texas.
Hearings are to be resumed Thurs
day morning.
