TROTSKY'S RETURN - T0 POWER LOOMS Moderates in Party Seek High Post for Chastened Army Head. By the Assoclated Press. MOSCOW, April 18.—Leon Trotsky soon may return to political promi- nence. It is believed that the deposed war minister will be appointed to an important post in the Soviet cabinet, to the council of labor and defense, the supreme economic council, or the com- missa of foreign trade. Trof who is still at a health re- sort at Sukham, on the Black Sea, 18 reported to be fully restored to health and eager to return to active administrative work. Since his sudden end dramatic dismissal as head of the Red army last January, there has been a recrudescence of sentiment in his favor, throughout the communist party. M. Stalin, a member of the executive committee, and M. Rykoff, president of the counsel of commas- gars, who was opposed to drastic ac- tlon against him, appear to have tri- umphed over Leo Kameneff and M. Zinovieff, leading members of the gov- ernment, who have been uncompro- mising foes of Trotsky. Offered Ambassadorship. That there has been a complete reconciliation between Trotsky and the government is evidenced by the fact that as long ago as February Trotsky was offered the ambassado: £hip to Japan. He would have ac- cepted this post, but feared at the time it would be too great a task on his impaired health. Since then, ‘Trotsky’s former colleagues convinced that he had sufficiently “atoned for his political heresy,” have been trying to find another place for him in the government. Meanwhile Zinovieff, who was violently opposed to Trotsky for & long time, has been silenced, al- though it is announced that there is no truth in the frequent reports pub- lished abroad that Zinovieff is about to be dismissed from the government councils, PRIEST, ILL, KILLS SELF.

' Coolidge and Economy VI—Odd-Job Savings in Field Force Effected by Nine Men Total $45,000. BY WILLIAM HELM. As one feature of the economy drive to cut down federal expenses, the United States has been divided into nine geographical areas and a pro- fessional dollar-saver put in charge of field financial activities in each area. This is in addition to the subdivision of the Washington offices of the mon- ey-savers, as described {a a previous article. The area coordinators In the nine districts already have put into effect, during the year or two of their ac- tivity, economies which are estimated at approximately $45,000 a month. The figure includes about $95,000 a vear saved to the government in truck hire for handling the Christmas rush of mail. Until the past year or so, it had in- variably been the practice of the postal authorities* to lease additional mail trucks at Christmas. The co- ordinating authorities at Washington, with a view to saving as much as possible of the money thus spent, caused an inventory to be taken of all trucks owned by all branches of the government throughout the country. It was found that the War Depart. ment had hundreds of vehicles scat- tered throughout the United States, most of which could be utilized by the post offices of the large cities. Most of the War Department trucks, moreover, had but little to do at that time of the year and scores of them were altogether idle. Orders were issued accordingly to lend them to the postal authorities. A record of resultant savings was kept. During the first vear it amounted to more than $60,000. During the second vear, or last Christmas, it was $95,658. Allocation of the trucks was largely the work of the area coordinators, the somewhat unwieldly name applied to professional savers in the fleld. Checking Up Surplus Material. By consolidating the spaces used for storage of supplies, by federal de- partments at Boston, the field worker in New England effected an annual economy of $30,000. A helping hand was lent by the United States marshal in disposing of a huge collection of illicit _stills’ and_other anti-Volstead paraphernalia. The Collector at Bos- ton was about to buy 60 chairs for his office force when the field worker lo- cated a supply in surplus materials. At New York, the field worker saved $4,026 in storage charges on seized liquor for a single month by carefully going over the stock with the prohibi- tion forces and having them destroy selzures no longer needed for evi- dence. A trucking service for all fed- eral departments in the city was put into effect at a considerable saving over the old system of individual serv- ice. “In connection with the new lease for court rooms and judges’ chambers in the Woolworth building, New York,” writes the field worker to head- quarters at Washington, “a large in- crease in rental was demanded. “The Department of Justice applied to this office for assistance in the ad- justment of this matter and through negottations conducted by this office, space was offered in the Emigrant Bank bullding at a very low figure. As a result of this offer, the Depart- ment of Justice was able to secure space in the Woolworth building at $6.550 a vear less than the new rental deman At Philadelphia DEMAND RETENTION OF ARLINGTON FLAG Loyal Dames Denounce Pro- 'posed Removal of U. S. Emblem From Cemetery. the fleld worker Any attempt to remove the Ameri- can flag from its established position in front of the Robert E. Lee home, in Arlington National Cemetery, will meet with the combined opposition of patriotic womanhood, the Dames of the Loyal Legion declared vesterday at the closing session of their twenty- sixth annual meeting. Without a dissenting vote, that so- ciety adopted a resolution condemning recent agitation to have the Ameri- can flag eliminated from the lawn once owned by the commander of the Confederate army. By way of ex- planation, Mrs. Mary Logan Tucker, national president of the society, said the Dames of the Loyal Legion think a national cemetery is a fit place for the Stars and Stripes to be displayed. Restoration of Mansion Opposed. At the same time the soclety adopted another resolution opposing with equal vehemence a movement to have the old Lee Mansion furnished and restored to the condition it was in be- fore Gen. Lee responded to the call of the Confedera: which later re- sulted in the' confiscation of the es- tate by the Federal Government. Mrs. Tucker said the Dames of the Loyal Legion feel that it would not be ap- propriate to refurnish the home with it still in the heart of a cemetery. The annual dinner of the society was held last night at the Willard Hotel. Among the speakers were Rear Admiral Franklin J. Drake, U. S. N., representing the District of Columbia Commandery, Military Order of the Loyal Legion: Maj. Gen. George Richards of the Marine Corps, repre- senting the Sons of the Revolution: | Mrs. George Barnett, chairman, Cou cil of Veteran and Patriotic Socleties; Mrs. Charles E. Herrick, State regent for Tllinois of the Daughters of the Amerlcan Revolution, and Mrs. Sarah S. Deeds, representing the War Mothers. Demands for Nation's Defense. Members of Congress who ‘“‘would expose th to attack just to be returne shington on a plat- form of ec v were scored by Ad- miral D There is a limit to economy asserted comes to a question of fense. It looks good to the average man to see economy in but economy in the national defense is carrying it too far.” Mrs. Barnett spoke for the national training camp plan and urged her au- dience to petition Congress to give citizen training every legal support possible. At the afternoon session Maj. Charles W. Thomas of the in- spector general's department of the Army * warned against studied propa- ganda that is being distributed by So- cialists, Communists and bolshevists. Shell-Shocked Veteran Held. John L. Duncan, 33, shell-shocked veteran of the World War, roomer at 910 Four and One-half street south- west, appeared on the street near his home early today in scant attire, and when Policeman W. H. Hall question- ed him Duncan is alleged to have drawn a knife and made an effort to cut the policeman. Hall disarmed the man and took him to_Gallinger Hos- pital for observation. Police say Dun- arranged to consolidate gasoline pur- chases of the Army and Post Office. Previously the Post Office had been buying gasoline in small quantities at tank wagon prices. The saving through new arrangement runs to $1,000 a month. The fleld worker at New Orleans made arrangements at the navy yard for the purchase of a Shipping Board tug. Previously the Government had paid $2,400 a year for this service. Un- der the new arrangement the entire sum is saved. In finding new quar- ters at New Orleans for the Veterans’ Bureau branch the fleld worker in that area worked out an arrangement at will cut the annual rental about $23,000 a year. Mechanics being trafned by the Gov- ernment in automobile engineering have been made available at small cost to Federal officials in Minneapolls for repairing Government-owned cars there. Old records at the Chicago post office were stored, due to the activity of a fleld worker, in a bufld- ing leased by the War Department where space was available, thereby saving in contemplated rental for storage space. One of the boanches of the Federal Government in Chicago made an ad- vantageous contract for hauling sup- plies. The field worker learned of this and effected revisions in other contracts made by other branches on the basis of the advantageous award. Surplus Stores Put to Work. A substitute, out of surplus stores, was found for desired cloth for cov- ering the steam heads of pressing machines in the Army laundry at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., at an an- nual saving of $500. Nine hundred pounds of unserviceable airplane pro- pellers, slowly decaying at San An- tonfo, were transferred to a nearby vocational school of the Veterans' Bureau for instructional purposes in woodworking. A little deal in blankets desired by certain Federal agencies at San Fran- cisco saved the Government $13,514. The agencies were about to buy the blankets when a fleld worker located a stock of Army blankets at Fort Sill, Okla. They were used instead. They are some of the little savings. Of that tribe, the number is many. And there are big savings, too—sav- ings that loom large in the total when the money-counters in the Treasury at Washington check the dollars in the general fund at the end of the fiscal year. What are they? Well, to enumerate a few, $100,000 a year is being saved on freight charges for transporting helium gas, due to strenuous work In getting a _low rate classification. More than $110,000 was saved in ship- ping a single consignment of 5,161 tons of high explosives from New Jer- sey to Fort Sill, Okla. By economies in’ printing, the Department of Agri- culfure is saving $55,000 a year. Reorganizing for Economy. By reconditioning for use old and unsued Navy boats the Lighthouse Service is saving the taxpayers $488,- 000 this vear. By reorganizing the General Land Office Secretary Work is cutting its cost of operation by $60,000 a year. Reorganization of work at the Pension Bureau has re- sulted in savings estimated at $246,- 000 for this year. By salvaging copper and zinc from condemned powder boxes and using the materfal in new ordnance the Navy is saving $100,000 a year. By plcking up waste paper and twine last year the post offices of the coun- try turned in nearly $185,000. Co-op- dination of the department's frefght and express business is saving about $100,600 a vear. And still there are hundreds of other economies pressing for mention, a long list that would fill columns of this newspaper. But the foregoing are typical. They tell of the spirit of the time. They are new economies, almost every one. Hardly a one in the lot is three years old. Most of them were inaugurated last year. They are the product of the drive to reduce the cost of running the Federal Government's affalrs in order that the day may be sped when tax reduction will come again.

PHILADELPHIA, April 18.——If there is one thing we agree on from Moscow to Washington, it is the need for workers’ education,” sald Guy De Muynick, spokesman of the Belgian workers'' education committee, before the fourth national convention of the ‘Workers' Education Bureau of America_ yesterday, This remark struck the keynote 'of the gathering here of organized workers' delegates from all parts of North America for the furtherance of an educational program for themselves. Leaders said the three-day meeting was emblematic of the infantile strug- gle of American laboring people to reach a goal of improved economic circumstances by some other means than compulsion. Several speakers declared it marked a start toward a new era in industrial relations.
