U.S.WORLD COURT |EMPLOYMENT POST STAND S REBUFFED| 14 Nations Fail to, Reply to Note on Reservations—Only 3 Accept Terms. By the Associated Press. Only Cuba, Greece and Liberia have accepted the reservations laid down by the Senate to United States ad- herence to the World Court. protocol. This became known today when a tabulation of interchanges initlated by the State Department last Feb- ruary with notifications to 42 gov- ernments that, the United States is prepared to adhere to the court with reservations, and asking acceptance of those reservations, .showed that mere acknowledgments had been re- ceived from 19 countries, six others explained that, they would reserve their decision until after the Geneva conference, and no response what: ever had been received from the other 14 nations. Those reserving their answers pend- ing the Geneva discussions are: Austria, Norway, Albania, Finland, Rumania and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, while no ac- knowledgment has been received from Great Britain, Japan, Belgium, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Bul- garia, Czechoslovakia, Esthonia, Hun- gary, Brazil, Chile and Luxembourg. Since the League of Nations called the Geneva September confefence of signatory powers after the State De- partment’s notifications were dis- patched, and it is regarded as cer- tain that these 14 governments will attend that meeting, State Depart- ment officials interfpret the position they occupy as ‘“‘perfectly normal.” They believe that the American rejec- tion of the league invitation to the con- ference will not influence the ultimate decision of the participating govern- ments. ‘It is expected that the con- ference will. serve to expedite com- mon action and that soon after the meeting adjourns, individual nations will speedily make known their as- sent to American adherence. The governments which sent ac- knowledgments of the receipt of the notifications include France, Bolivia, China, Colombla, Denmark, Haiti, Latvia, Lithuania, Panama, Para- guay, Persia,” Poland, the Domini- can Republie, Pflflll‘l] Salvador, Siam, Switzerland, Urpguay and Ven- ezuela. MR PLUNGE OF FRANC BRINGS DEMANDS FOR DRASTIC STEP (Continued from First Page.) gheur, the new minister of commerce, is one of France's wealthiest indus- trialists. Once he deserted M. Herriot on the question of a capital levy. Financial Situation Grave. ‘The general financial situation with which the new cabinet has to deal is extremely grave. Figures given by the reporter of the Chamber's budget ‘committes show that while the funds at the disposal of the treasury amount to 600,000,000 francs, the treasury will ‘have to-face payment within a month of nearly 2,000,000,000 francs. The pay envelopes of government employes at the,end of the month alone will absorb 500,000,000 francs. In these “elréumstances, ‘competent financiers say they fail to sec how M. de Monzie can avoid having recourse te increasing the note ‘circulation. In addition, it s understood that during yesterday the general defense and treasury notes presented for payment at the counters of the ministry of finance were ten times greater in number than ever have been presented throughout France on any one day. This fact caused former Minister of Finance Caillaux to go to, Elysee Palace and discuss with President Doumergue emergency measures that might be necessary to deal with the situation pending the qualification of his successor. _ The. general impression is that the Herriot government will be short- lived; that it may'even be overthrown at its first appearance in the Chamber. M. Franklin-Boullion, a consistent advocate of a national min- istry, although he is a member of M’ Herriot's Radical party, will lead the attack. Members of the Senate, with few exceptions, are openly hostile to Herriot for standing in the ‘way of a plan for a national fninistry. $12,000,000 WON ON FRANC. Vienna Reports Huge Gains by Specu- lators in Currency. VIENNA, July 20 (#).—Speculators ;are reported to have made a huge killing on the slump in the French franc.

Citizens Ask E Street Be Uséd by Chevy Chase Lire When Finished. A vote of 180 to 29 in favor of its return to the former E street route when the widening of that thorough- fare is completed has been registered by patrons of the Chevy Chase.de luxe motor bus line, according to a report submitted to the Public Utili- ties Commission today by the Capital Traction Co. The busses now pro- . ceed toward the Capitol via Pennsyl- Vania avenue and D street. The -routing " of ‘the Chevy Chase' busses as well as thn Burleith busses was changed when the street widen- ing operations started. Several weeks ago the Center Market merchants sent a petition to the commission urg- lnx that the present temporary rout- be_made permanent. -,EXHIBIT EIVENTO WOMAN Mrs. Cecil R. bhlttenden wm Succeed R. M. Pilkington in Office Here. Appf:lntmant of Mrs. Cecil R. Chit- tenden of Anderson, Ind., as superin- tendent of the Washington office of the United States Employment Serv- ice was announced ‘today by the La- bor Department. The Washington of- fice is a cooperative agency main- tained jointly by the Labor Depart- ment and the District government, Mrs. Chittenden, who took over her new duties today, succeeds Robert M.

Mr. Pilkington has been appointed a member of the staff of he conciliation division of the depart- ment, whose activities spread through- out the Nation. He will be located at South Bend, Ind. The new superintendent came to ‘Washington from Tampa, Fla., where she had been employed in newspaper work ‘on the Tampa Globe. She work- ed in the Washington office of the employment service for mere than two years and later was employed in the research divisien of the Labor Department. Mrs. Chittenden during the preunt fiscal year will handle up 000 employment placements ixf Wash. ington, if the local office maintains the record it set during the last fiscal year. Phirty-three thousand persons who ap- plied for employment were handled by the office during the year. which closed July 1, an increase of about 18 per cent over the previous year. The present year, according to the retiring director, bids fair to_eclipse the last fiscal year in the volume of employ- ment opport\mmu filled and the num- ber of applicants handied. Mr. Pilk- ington a few days ago made public & prediotoa hat, the. g Sapord of em: pr I ployment made during June would continue during the current month.

Rudolph today sent to Secretary of Labor Davis a letter com- mending the retiring director for (he work he had done while in charge of the office. h B AR S MODIFY MURDER CHARGE. | French Hold Anierican for Man- slaughter in Auto Killing.
