because of its progressivism and
assert that nothing they could say
on the issue would deter its critics
from blasting away at them.
THAT way we would be on the
defensive" UPWA official said to-
day. Instead of that, we're going
on with our fight to win more needed
benefits for Government employees" !"
The board adopted legislation
program calling for $500 wage in
crease for all Government workers.
It also called for a policy of col
lective bargaining in Government
on limited basis, with the Federal
employees union which has the
most members in an agency having
the right to bargain for all the
employees. This, however, would not
include bargaining on wages, since
Congress is the only body desig-
mated by law to fix Federal salaries.
In addition, UPWA adocated that.
in case of disputes, agency officials
should be authorized to set up arbi-
tration boards to settle the differ
ences.
The board also set up as its legis-
latiye goal this year liberalization
of the Federal Retirement Act aid
the strengthening of the Govern
-nent's efficiency rating system.

But at Nanking the best-informed

They saw as far in the future the
realization of Gen. Marshall's sug-
gestion for an assumption of leader

These sources said leaders Of the
Kuomintang Government Party,
despite the adoption of so-called

Moscow Shows Interest
In Byrnes' Retirement

MOSCOW, Jan. 9 R.-An-
nouncement of the resignation OF
Secretary of State Byrnes and the
appointment of Gen. Marshall as
his successor was received with great
interest in Moscow.
Both men are well known in the
Russian capital-Mr Byrnes for his
participation in numerous interna-
tional conferences, and Gen. Mar
shall because he accompanied the
late President Roosevelt to Big
Three meetings.
The retirement of Secretary
Byrnes will be felt in Moscow. He
formed many close personal ac-
quaintanceships with Soviet leaders,
including Foreign Minister Molotov,
during many conferences.
However, Gen. Marshall Is cer-
tain to be a most welcome guest at
the March meeting of the Foreign
Ministers Council.

Committee to Begin Study.
As soon as the Senate gives the
signal, the committee will begin an
overall study of possibilities Of re-
ducing the number OF Federal en-
|ployes.
Senator LANCER late yesterday
introduced a resolution authoriz-
ing the group to investigate three
main questions regarding the size
of the Federal payroll.
Under the LANCER proposal, the
group would study and report on
these questions: The number Of
officers and employees now on the
rolls of the department agencies;
whether the number is adequate
for proper functioning OF the various
Government units, and whether the
numbers could be reduced without
impairing efficiency.
Reports on the survey would be
made at the earliest practicable date.
and copies of the findings would go
to the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee for attention in connection
with fund requests for the fiscal year
beginning July l.
Another measure affecting Gov
ernment workers was offered by
Senator Ferguson, Republican, Of
Michigan. He proposed to raise
the annual leave for employees OF
the field service of the Post Office
Department to 26 days, and to grant
Is days a year for sick leave.
At the other end of the Capitol,

firmed as staff director for the COM
mittee, said the issue over how the
Federal cafeterias are operated
dates back many years.
Mr.. Riley recalled that the former
controller general in 1910 had called
for cancellation of the GSI, but that
no action had been taken Lindsay
C. Warren, present controller gen.
eral, had been silent" on the ques-
ton. Mr.. Riley said.
Nom Profit Concern.
GSI is non-profit corporation
whose trustees include a number of
Government department officials.
Mr.. Riley said questions regarding
the setup include the actual profit
and loss figures, just how the organi-
zation originated and the legality Of
how custody of the Federal premises
used for the cafeterias was based.
Another question, he said, is whether
the Government itself should di-
rectly operate the cafeterias or have
them operated under contract let
to the highest bidder.
Chairman LANCER said the COM
mittee agreed to meet regularly
every Tuesday at 1890 am. for
consideration of the committees
agenda.
There was no discussion today, he
said, of the nomination of Mrs.
Frances Perkins, former Labor Sec
retary, to be a member of the Civil
Service Commission. He added,
however, the committee would adopt
q policy giving formal advance no.
tice of consideration of any ap-
pointments referred to the commit
tee and that public hearings would
be held in any case in which a pro-
test is filed. He said he had received
no protest regarding the Perkins
nomination.
Actuary Appointed.
John D. Phenix, formerly an actu-
ary in the retirement division of the
Civil Service Commission, was ap-
pointed actuary and statistician for
the LANCER group.
George Williams, former Repre-
sentative from Delaware, was named
a staff assistant and Frank Vogel
former manager of the Bank of
North Dakota, a State institution,
was employed as adviser on postal
savings banks and archives legisla-
ton.

Mr.. Byrnes, carrying on as Secre.
tary of State until Gen. Marshal
arrives, will make his valedictorJ
speech Saturday night when he ad.
dresses the Cleveland Council Worlc
Affairs.
From his bed in the Bethesda
Naval Hospital, 75-year-old former
Secretary of State Cordell Hull to-
day telegraphed "his warmest con-
gratulations" to Gen. Marshall tell.
ing him: 1.-THE country is, indeed
fortunate to have statesman OF
your unusual qualifications avail
able at this time for this position oi
crucial responsibility"
Mr.. Hull also telegraphed Mr.
Byrnes that he is deeply distressed
that illness has compelled his resig.
nation. He added that "the country
needs the continued benefit of your
outstanding abilities and varied ex-
perience."
Marshall Slated for Months.
Gen. Marshall had been slated fol
months to succeed Mr.. Byrnes, the
White House disclosed yesterday
Mr.. Byrnes first submitted his resig-
nation last April when his doctor
told him heart condition made 1t
necessary for him to "slow down. u
He stayed on, however, until work
on the German satellite peace
treaties was finished, and kept his
retirement plans closely secret until
the White House announcement
Tuesday night.
Political considerations were cast
aside when Gen. Marshall's NOM
nation reached the Senate. Under
the leadership of Chairman Vanden-
berg of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, the nomination was con-
firmed unanimously in less than an
hour.
Senator Vandenberg emphasized
the need for such unusually swift
action to demonstrate to the world
this country's continuing and effec-
tive bipartisan foreign policy"
Bipartisan Phase Continues.
It was considered likely that Gen
would insist that Senator
and Senator Connally,
Democrat, of Texas go with him to
the Moscow Foreign Ministers
to continue the role of
advisers they followed
with Mr.. Byrnes.
Both Senators Vandenberg and
Connally have indicated strong re-
luctance to. leave their legislative
duties for further work at interna-
tional conferences, but they may
change their minds on plea by
Gen. Marshall that their back
ground will be necessary to him.
It will be the problem of assim-
ilating that background which may
prove the most pressing for Gen
in the brief period between
now and his scheduled huddle with
the diplomatic chiefs Of Britain
France and Russia.

30 Jews Are Arrested
After Clash With Arabs

JERUSALEM, Jan. 9 (P.-Police
announced the arrest of 80 Jews
from a communal settlement near
Beisan before dawn today "as a
result of last nights incident at
the Arab town of Tubas," where
two Arabs and three Jews were hurt
in a clash.
There still were no complete de-
tails of the affair, but police fatty
denied earlier reports that Jews
had faided the town and also with
drew an earlier statement that one
Arab had been killed during a
fight in which sticks, stones and
knives were used as weapons.
In Jerusalem the opinion was that
the clash resulted from a dispute
over the ownership of land or some
similar domestic issue. Beisan is
north of Tubas, near thes Jordan.

1884, when he started wonk with
Wilson, he lived in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and for
short time in Clayton. He re-

and his daughter, Betty, age 10.

A son, Gilbert Clampitt, seaman

last year and is located now at
Guam. Prior to his enlistment,
Seaman Clampitt, age 18, was en-

Clampitt himself is veteran of
World War I, having served with
the U. S. Army Engineers in 1918.
He is a member of the David C.

Prior to 1884, Mr.. Clampitt was
employed by the Pennsylvania

out of Clayton. Following this, he
spent two years with the Baldwin

A year after he started work at

The General Assembly of 1889
passed a Special Act providing for
vocational rehabilitation of physi-
cally disabled persons and provided
that the Administration of the Act
should be under the direction and
control of a State Board of Voca-
tional Education.
Also, in 1899, Special Legislation
was passed providing that it shall
be the responsibility of principals,
superintendents and teachers to re-
port, to the State Board of Educa-
tion, every child between the ages
of six and sixteen who is seriously
retarded in his school work and
who, because of an apparent phys
ical or mental handicap, is not be-
ing properly educated or trained.
The State Board of Education is
then duty-bound to determine if
the child is fit subject for special
education and training; if so, it is
to be provided, if possible.
The State Board of Education
has been granted authority to Gre
ate a maximum of sixty scholar
ships, not exceeding 5000 each, per
year, toward the expenses of any
person, male or female, approved
by the Board, to receive training at
the University of Delaware. The
male is permitted to go to any
other school approved by the
Board. The Scholarships are to
be given with the assurance that
the recipient will teach at least

mington all times be the same as
the boundaries of the City.
To affect the discontinuance of a
Special School District and revert
to the State School Board Districts
it is necessary to hold referen-
DUN, which must be petitioned
either by the Board of Education
or by at least twenty-five voters of
the District.
To consolidate two or more
schools the State Board of Educa-
tion must post a notice for four
weeks on the front door of the
school houses affected and in at
least ten other prominent and con-
spicuous places in the Districts
concerned. The election must be
held within ten days after the ex-
piration of the four week period
and the question shall be settled
by a majority rule and the results
are to be Immediately certified to
the State Board of Education. On
the other hand, however, when a
Single School Room district has
had an average daily attendance of
less than twelve for three school
years, the State Board of Educa-
tion can effect a consolidation
without the need of special elec-
tion.
There are statutory provisions
for special elections on Bond ap-
prevails also. There must be an
advertisement in at least two
county newspapers at least once
per week for two weeks before the
election and the last advertisement
must be at least five days before
the election. In addition to the
newspapers, notice must also be
posted on the door of the voting
place. In all notices the amount
of bonds proposed and purposes
and reasons must be shown. Hours
of from 1 p. m. to 8 p. m. are stip-
ulated for the election. Besides
certifying the results to the State
Board of Education, the officials
should publish the results of the
election in two County newspapers.
The requirements for handling a
referendum to settle the question
of local taxation (property or per-
sonal) are to post a notice on the
door of the school at least ten days
before the election, and notices in
newspapers and other means as
the Judgment of the Local School
Board feels is necessary to give
proper notice to the voters. The
officials responsible for the election
must certify the results to the
State Board of Eucation if a school
district or to the Board of Educa-
ton if a Special School District. In
the absence of a petition contain
ing signatures of at least 25 per
cent of the qualified voters and
submitted at least two months be-
fore a regular school election, the
Board may continue annually, the
tax already in existence.
