Ewing Yields on Cook.
But Appeals for Law
To Give Him Back
by the Asseeiotsd Press

Federal Security Administrator
Oscar r. Ewing regretfully gave ur
his Government-paid cook today
but he's going to ask Congress tc
pass law so he can get the mar
back.
He was ordered by Controlle,
General Lindsay c. Warren last
night to quit using a st. Elizabeths
Hospital employe as cook at the
FSA Office. Mr.. Warren called the
practice very questionable"
Mr.. Ewing said Mr.. Warren was
the final arbiter" in the matter and
he would follow instructions. But
he made it plain he disagreed with
Mr.. Warren.
He insisted the cook, Neaser j.
Kelly, was not personal" servant,
as Mr.. Warren called him in a letter
to Mr.. Ewing.
Time-Saving Claimed.
Mr.. Ewing said serving meals
at the Office saved a lot of time
becaue five and often more officials
ate together and transacted busi-
ness during meals. He said there
are no restaurants nearby, and
much time had been lost by off,
cials going to far-away eating
places.
Further, Mr.. Ewings said he felt
so strongly about the matter that
although he would do as Mr.. War
rem ordered, Il shall propose to
the next Congress that specific au-
thority be given to continue this
practice"
Mr.. Ewing, in q letter answering
Mr.. Warren, said "the arrangement
has been in the public interest and
that the Government has received
far more in the time of top execu-
tives than the small cost OF the
cooks time"
The case dated back to August 5
when Senate Appropriations Sub
committee was told that a Gov
ernment-paid hospital cook was
preparing meals at the FSA for
Mr.. Ewing. 1t wanted to know
why.
Hospital HetmburSe0.
Mr.. Kelly, who gets $4,000 a year
at st. Elizabeths, testified before
the committee that he spent about
five hours day at FSA.
He said he remained on the hos
pital's payroll, and Mr.. Ewing testi-
fed that st. Elizabeths was rein-
bursed for the cooks time from
FSA administrative funds.
Mr.. Warren said, however, that
he regarded "the matter of the
assignment for your use Of q per-
sonal cook whose salary Is paid
from public funds as Objectionable
in the absence Of specific authorize
ton in the appropriation or other
law"

Last Sunday, April Is, the
Meeting was held at the hall
in Eagle Rock. Overseer Rob-
inson talked on Ephesians 4:
z, "But unto every one of us is
given grace according to the
measure of the gift of Christ"
He brought out so forcefully
that grace, or unmerited favor,
is given to every Christian &C.
cording to the measure that
we receive Christ; but first
of all that grace had to be
bought with a price. Mr..
George Studebaker and Mr..
Max Koetz sang Living Wa
ters," which fitted in perfect
ly with the theme of the Over
seer's sermon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Eman-
uelson opened their home for
the last Mid-week Prayer
Meeting of the month. 1t was
an unusually bad night-many
places the water was rushing
down the streets from curb to
curb, and in some places over
the curbs.
The last missionary sewing
circle was held at the home of
Mrs. George Studebaker on
Wednesday, April %, 1913.
The ladies finished one quilt
and started on four others.
They are doing a splendid
work.
We are sorry to lose our
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. L. J. Bull
1ivant, but they felt they had
been in California long enough
so the 10Th of April they
left for home via Salt Lake

the following day for home, via
Phoenix, where she expected
to spend a few days.
Friday, April 80, was Mrs.

her home to wish her ''the best
wishes of the day and help
her celebrate.

Naval officers also expressed salts

In the early stages of the last
war, the Air Force sought to gain
command of the business of hunt

submarines and, in fact, maintained
such force for sometime. The
Navy fought this idea, maintaining
that antisubmarine warfare prop

Red Meetings Draw Few.
To western eyes here the most
interesting development of the past

No more than 1000 attended

demonstrators in the tens of thou

In contrast about 10000 marched
in a pro-Italian demonstration last

Izvestia, the government newspaper,
in an article by Peter Grimm struck
out strongly at Norwegian diehards"
and ruling circles" for their present
policy.
Norway has common frontier
with Russia for a short distance in
the Arctic north above Finland.
(There have been recent reports, all
denied officially, that Russia has put
out feelers to Norway for a defense
pact similar to that she is asking
of Finland.)
Danger For Norwegians Seen.
Grimm said this policy was 'preg-
nant with danger to the Norwegian
people" He declared the collabora-
ton of ruling Norwegian circles
with Britain and the United States
had gone SO far as to envisage the
use by the American armed forces
of Jan Mayen and Svalbard Islands,
agreement for Standardization of
ornaments along American lines,
the leasing of Norwegian territory
for American and British bases, the
establishment at Sula, near Stav-
enger, of an airport for American
transatlantic flights, and purchase
OF British jet planes. The commen-
tator said British military experts
have been visiting northern Nor
Wegian ports. Grimm said all this
was in obvious preparation for
western union" in Europe.
Svalbard Island is another name
for Spitsbergen, the Arctic Island
outpost where Russia has a coal
mining concession. Jan Mayen
Island is about TOO miles southwest
OF Spitsbergen. Stavanger is on the
southwest Norwegian coast.

Ita|y's Red Chief Says
West Attempts 10 Use
Trieste 10 Start War
BY the Associated Press

RUNE, Mar. Z7.--ltalyS S Com
munist boss, Palmiro Togliatti,
told a crowd of 100000 today the
three western powers want to
use Trieste to start another wal" "
AS the Moscow trained leader
spoke in Rome's great Piazza del
Popolo, a plane droned overhead,
dumping anti-Communist leaflets.
The handbills urged the crowd to go
to St. Peters tomorrow to wish
the Pope happy Easter"
Sections of the crowd seemed dis
appointed in the speech, which had
been widely heralded in advance by
posters as the Communist answer to
the British an-French pro-
posal of week ago to return the
free state territory of Trieste to
Italy. Many drifted away during
Togliattis 75-minute address.
Togliatti had been expected to
make heavy, direct attacks on the
Italian government, as well as on
the United States. But he devoted
his talk mainly to Trieste.
Reds Seek Credit for Idea.
The Communists apparently are
preparing propaganda campaign
to convince voters before the cru
cial April 18 elections that the Com
munist Party-and not the west
ern powers-originated the idea of
giving Trieste back to Italy. Mar
shall Tito of Yugoslavia aided this
line with statement at Belgrade
yesterday that there are no Italo-
Yugoslav issues which cannot be
settled peacefully, especial if Com
munists are in power in both coun-
tries.
Togliatti said the three-power
proposal prevented the possibility
that Yugoslavia and Italy could
even initiate talks for Trieste
The reason is evident" the S.
year -old leader declared. They
| (the western poWers) want to main
tain the spark of war there. 1t
also is evident they want to main
tain the status quo and the present
tense situation. They want to use
Trieste to start another war"
Togliatti rallied at France for not
returning to Italy Briga and Tenda,
small Alpine border areas ceded to
the French in the peace treaty.
He accused Britain of preventing
return of Italy's African colonies.
They want to revise the treaty to
return Trieste" he shouted. why
not revise all clauses in the treaty?'
Easter Posters Put Up.
Youths wearing red kerchiefs
stalked about the square as he spoke.

members of the Christian Demo-
cratic Party plastered up posters

which excludes Communists, is sup
ported by the Catholic Church.
There were no disorders. Police,
standing by at the Communist rally,
had little to do.
There were scattered instances of
political violence elsewhere in Italy
however.
! A dispatch from Lecce in South
ern Italy said Communists who
showed up for a rally there in
uniforms of the "Garibaldi Brigade
were stoned out of town by crowds
who shouted, I'VE want no more

The Garibaldi brigades stem from
