POSTAL HEN ARE MEETING AT MOTT Delegates to State Convention | Hear Congressman; Are | Entertained at Dinner arainns | Mott, N. D., July 26—?)—Problems confronting postmasters and their employes occupied delegates to the annual state convention of postal em- Ployes here today. | W. I. Glover, Washington, assistant Postmaster general; Walton R. Ton, Bismarck, inspector; Congressman J. H. Sinclair and officials of the state group were on the day's program with addresses pertinent to postal work. M. T. Hefty, Walcott, is president of the state organization. Otto Sang- stad, Northwood, is first vice presi- dent; J. G. Sigudson, Upham, second vice president, and W. Osborne, Hun- ter, secretary-treasurer. - Congressman Tom Hall of Bis- marck addressed the postmasters and rural carriers yesterday at a joint session and explained some of the moves before congress for the en- largement of postal service and bet- terment of the condition of service for employes. His remarks were en- thusiastically received. Congressman J. H. Sinclair was on the gprogram - but wired his regrets Stating that he is detained by con- gressional committee work in the southern states., Nelson C. Tracy was here as representative of the first as- | sistant postmaster general and gave an inspiring address on better service in postal work touching on many points of interest to the convention delegates.

He said he would do all with- in the power of the government forces at his disposal to complete an accur- ate statistical picture of the situation. Bakers Resume Work ‘The government announcement to- I | days. day said that many of ‘the local bak- eries in the quake zone were resuming operations so that the rationing prob- lem from now on would be less seri- ous. To avoid abuses and hoarding ration cards today were in circulation. Definite steps were taken today to aid families having relatives in the devastated area an! to give orphaned children into the care of special aid societies. In some of the districts electric service today was restored. The water supply also was safeguarded. The Italian people, still dazed by Wednesday's severe earthquakes, are alarmed by the continuance of earth shocks and fear that even more may follow. In the last two days there have been eight new quakes, although they did no severe damage in comparison with the mid-week tremors which caused at least 1,883 deaths. Melfi, already torn, felt the shocks especially. There many buildings weakened by the previous tremors collapsed, among them the Pacchioli Palace. A shock felt at Ariano Thursday caused the death of an elderly woman, killed in the collapse of the registry Office. Meanwhile the government con- tinued to add up the long roll of known dead, and while an official statement deprecated the reports that nearly 3,000 had been killed, it was admitted that the figures might be changed by later figures. The government's communique, is- sued through the Stefani News agency, followed a report from Gener- al Baistrocchi of the Neapolitan zone that the dead in Avellino Prov- ince alone totaled 2,575, In many places there is a scarcity of water because of the breaking of mains or the filling of wells. Tank trucks are taking water to some local- ities, while in others the residents must walk to neighboring towns.

ARE FIGHTING OVER MIXUP IN CHILDREN Controversy, Apparently Set- tled, Breaks Out Anew as Two Families Hire Lawyers Chicago, July 26.—(#)—The tiny bundle of boy at the William Watkins home has become, for the time being, the baby nobody wants. The William Watkins’ don’t want him; neither do the Charles Bam- bergers. All the parents want the baby boy the Bambergers now have. The baby nobody wants was born in the Englewood hespital 36 days ago, either the son of the Watkins or the Bambergers. He and the other baby boy left the hospital the same day—the former to the Watkins home, the other to the home of the Bam- bergers. Everyone was happy. Then father Watkins found a tab marked “Bamberger” on the back of the baby he and his wife had; a tab marked “Watkins” was found on the back of the baby at the Bamberger home. Confusion, anxiety and heart- twists followed. The Watkins wanted the baby at the Bamberger home; the Bambegers wanted him too, and they kept hitn. Thursday evening, seven scientists and medical men, summoned by Dr. Arnold H. Kegel, health commissioner, agreed with one exception that: the babies should be switched—the one at the Watkins home going to the Bambergers, and vice versa. But the Bambergers refused to abide by the decision and temporarily disappeared. Then with yesterday’s dawn came an announcement that at a midnight conference at the Keystone hospital, the parents met and decided to keep the babies they had from the first. Another group of physicians and hos- pital authorities, meeting with the parents and Dr. Kegel, had decided the Tabs had been switched in the hospital. The Watkins repudiated this an- nouncement today. “I allowed my self to be talked into being satisfied that the baby I have is mine,” said Mr. Watkins. “But to- day I don’t know. I have hired a lawyer and I guess I'll get out a writ or something.” The Watkins attorney, Barratt O'Hara, said “every legal resource will | be used ‘to get the right baby in the | right home.” “f Mr. Bamberger was more hostile. “Listen,” he said, “the baby we've got now is going to stay right in this house. I’ve got a lawyer, too, and I know my own rights—and I know my own son. See?” : A third “jury” has been summon in the case, Attorney O'Hara has requested a group of mothers to as- semble and offer suggestions and to say if in their opinion they feel that @ mother does know her own infant after she has seen it once or twice. O'Hara also announced that he was ring papers in a $100,000 damage full against the Englewood hospital to be filed in behalf of Watkins early next week.

BROMLEY ABANDONS PLANS FOR FLIGHT Tacoma to Tokyo, but Will Try to Reverse Proce: Tacoma, Wash., July 26.—(P)—Guy Kelly, legal adviser for Harold Brom- ley flier, and John Buffeten, backer of his proposed flight from Tacoma | to Tokyo, have announced the aban- donment of the attempt. They said a flight from the Jap- anese capital to Tacoma would bé un- dertaken, however. Bromley’s plane, City of Tacoma, was being dismantled in Seattle and the flier was pushing preparations to sail with it for Tokyo this morning on the liner President Lincoln, Kelly said the Tacoma-to-Tokyo attempt had been given up because Bromley had been unable to find a place near Nome or in the Aleutian islands where he could take off with enough gasoline to carry him to the Japanese capital. The legal adviser stated the plane, able to make 100 to 105 miles an hour, could, however, fly from Japan to Tacoma by taking ad- vantage of prevailing favorable winds. Robert B. Wark and his cé-pilot, Eddie Brown, who plana Tacoma- Tokyo flight, continued work on their Plane in Seattle, hoping’ to return here and také off Sunday. They ex- pect to refuel in the air somewhere over Alaska or the Aleutian islands. This is the fourth time Bromley has |} failed in his preparations to take off for Tokyo. His first plane cracked up during the takeoff. Two other planes were wrecked in test flights.
