TOP 400 JOBS-It looks as if
there will be still another delay
in the selection of employees for
the s11 900 to $4,000 year Gov
ernment salary brackets author
lied by Congress last October.
The inside story for the delay
is the White Houses dissatisfac-
ton with the Civil Service Com
missions handling of the matter.
Since Congress already re-
stricted these jobs to only 400 in
stead of the discretionary number
of top positions sought by the
administration, the White House
felt that all 400 jobs in the higher
categories should be filled.
However. the commission
recommended only is persons for
the top Is jobs authorized at
$4,000 annually, and only 320
persons for the remaining 375 au-
thorized positions. White House
officials believed that the COM
missions standards were too rigid
and have sent back the list to
be augmented by nine more selec-
tions for the $4,000 jobs and 55
more names for the other top
positions.

Binding Dust Storms
Sweep Plains States;
Cause Traffic Crashes
By the Associofed Pre,s

Binding duststorms, whipped
by gale-like winds, swirled over
wide areas of the Plains States
yesterday.
So thick was the dust pail that
eight highway fatalities were
blamed on the choking clouds.
Approximately so persons were
injured in automobile accidents
in Kansas and Texas alone.
A small tornado lashed Little
Rock, Ark. last night. causing ex-
tensive damage and several in
juries.
Most seriously hurt was Mary
anna Murphy. Is. who suffered a
fractured collarbone when the
storm hit a drive-in movie theater.
A radio tower on the Arkansas
Gazette Building was shaken
loose and fell. Dozens of plate
glass windows throughout the
business district were shattered.
At least one house also was blown
down near Little Rock.
Top Soil Blown Away.
Rich top soil over thousands of
acres was blown away by the dust
storms. The winds also caused
some damage to buildings and
famed prairie fires. Diminishing
winds today were expected to give
the plains respite. however.
High winds swept over Okla
homa, Texas, Kansas. Missouri,
New Mexico and Nebraska.
But it was Oklahoma, Texas ant
Kansas that took the brunt {.
the dust storms.
Four of the fatal accidents oc-
CURED in Kansas and three
Texas. Nebraska also reported
fatality.
Four Children Die in Fire.
Winds also contributed inc
rectly to the deaths of four cl,:
dren Saturday night. Sixty-mil
an-hour gusts whipped fam
through a wooden house near Gs
lup, N. Mex, burning to deaf
three Navajo Indian youngste-
and their teen-aged baby sitter.
Chimney sparks were believed to
have started the fire.
Kansas highway patrol officers
closed off some routes because of
the dust hazard. AS many as 10
automobiles were involved in a
single pileup.
The Weather Bureau reported
the dust storms were reminiscent
of the black billiards. of the 193O's.
An extended period of blowing,
however. would be necessary to
match those years. In 1885 and
1886 thousands of acres of rich
cropland were destroyed and
countless farmers were ruined.

Belgian Crisis Delays
Receiving Arms Under
u. 5. Aid Program
BY the As,ocioted Press

BRUSSELS, Belgium. Mar. 81
Belgiums new Premier designate
Albert Deveze, plunged today into
negotiations to end the two-Week
old monarchy crisis that threat
ems a gap in Western Europe's s
defense.
Legally the nation cannot re-
ceive arms under the American
aid program until it ratifies the
United States-Belgian military as
sistance treaty. With no govern
ment in Office and Parliament in
turmoil over the status of exiled
King Leopold, chances of quick
action are slight.
Parliament itself may be dis
solved this week, putting off this
ratification for at least 40 days
after election of a new national
legislature.
Must Leave Thursday.
Mr.. Deveze. acting defense min
lister in the present lame duck
cabinet. emphasized the urgency
of the situation by reminding
political leaders he had to leave
Thursday for Holland to attend
a session of Atlantic pact defense
ministers. Mr.. Deveze, a Liberal
Party member, was named pre-
mier-d r-designate Saturday night.
He warned the pro-Leopold
Social Christian (Catholic) Party
that if it does not agree with
other major parties on a ma
tional solution" by Thursday, he
will request the regent, Prince
Charles. to dissolve Parliament
and call new elections.
Holds Balance of Power.
Well-informed sources said the
national solution" Mr.. Deveze
has in mind is for Leopold to re-
turn for a short time, pledged
to abdicate in favor of his 49,
year-old son Prince Baudouin.
The Social Christians so far have
insisted on the Kings return
without any abdication commit
ment.
Mr.. Deveze's small Liberal Par
ty holds the balance of power in
the House of Representatives.
Most Liberals want Leopold to
abdlcate. Their refusal to join
in the pro-Leopold move brought
the fall of the last Belgian gov
ernment, a coalition of Social
Christians and Liberals.

SARASOTA, Fla, Mar. 81
A little boy feeding peanuts to
circus elephants was killed yester-
day when one of them suddenly
whipped her trunk around him,
dashed him to the ground and

he made her move her ponderous
foot from the child's body.
Arthur Concello, general mana

the boy ducked under the guard
rope to pick up some peanuts he
had dropped. Apparently the ele-
phant became excited like a dog
when some one takes a bone away
from it." he speculated.
The manager said Dolly would
not be taken on the road with
the rest of the circus. She has
