SHIP BUILDING BILL IS SPEEDED Democratic Leaders Pre- pare Measure Based on Capital Subsidy Basis. By the Associated Press. Democratic leaders set out yester- day to formulate for early considera- tion bills to carry out President Roose- velt’s recommendations for a new ship building and operating program on a capital subsidy basis. Members of the House Merchant Marine and Senate Commerce Com- mittees began to put the measure into shape. Emphasis was placed in the proposal by the administration both to save money and to obtain privately- owned ships in the merchant marine which could be converted to war uses. 'The subsidy will substitute for 43 ocean mail contracts. Early Hearings Promised. Chairman Bland of the House Mer- chant Marine Committee, said yester- day he would “give preference” to the proposal and would start hearings soon after the legislation was drafted. The reports of Postmaster General Farley and the Interdepartmental Committee form the basis for the legislation. It would abolish the Shipping Board Bureau and create a Federal maritime authority under an Assistant Secr y of Commerce for Maritime Affairs. It also would do| away with the present type of mail contracts and provide new ships to be | built in the United States and manned by American officers and crews. Farley stressed the Navy Depart- | ment had estimated two-thirds of | American needed as auxiliaries in war time, while the Army transport service to- day barely was adequate to meet peace-time needs.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. S LONG as the Greek revolu- tion was just a fight between Greeks—a struggle between Royalists and Republicans— there was little danger of an international complication. In the last few days, however, the hand of the great powers could be seen at work in Athens and in Can- dia, Venizelos' stronghold. The League of Nations is shud- dering; London, Paris, Berlin and Rome profess to be worried. War- ships are being rushed to the East- ern Mediterranean “to protect the interests of the nationals of the big powers.” The Athens government appears in- capable of winning victories other | than on paper. A strict censorship prevents the publication, in Greece, of any news except spectacular victories of the government's forces, victories which never materialize. How long the Tsaldaris forces can hold out is problematical. Those con- versant with the morale of the Greek army are willing to bet that it won't be long before the loyal troops go over to the revolutionary camp, bag and baggage. Venizelos still appeals to the rank and file. He continues to them to be a great man. opposing the constituted authority B e The internal strife which has been disrupting Greece for many centuris But the possibility of the powder keg of Europe—the Balkans—er- ploding again is a matter which causes Ssleepless nights to most statesmen * o % % Furthermore, any one | es | THE SUNDAY STAR, This Changing World Seen in Greek Revolt: nt Wins Victories ized are becoming active again, plot- ting and intriguing. Italy still has an interest in Bulgaria. Italy does not like the Balkan pact. Italy would like to possess some of the Greek islands in the Dodecanese. Hence, Italy is suspected of encouraging Bulgaria to mass troops at the Greek border “for any eventuality.” France is lukewarm toward Greece and still more so toward Bulgaria. Prance is being openly accused by the Yugoslavs of having betrayed them. If, without running counter to Italy, the French government could indi- rectly help the Yugoslavs to obtain Saloniki. it may be that the coolness which has developed since the Laval visit to Rome might be changed into a warm friendship again. The Yugoslav ports on the Adriatic are virtually worthless. Not only are they difficult to develop. but the Adri- atic can be bottled up by the Italian navy at any time. Saloniki is a mag- | nificent port and is not in danger of being closed by a foreign power. The Belgrade government would like to have it. The Turks have also dispatched im- portant forces to the Bulgarian fron- tier. The Turks do not want any change in the status quo of the Balkans, unless they could reconquer | those parts of Thrace which were | lost after the Balkan wars. But the | real reason of the Turkish concen- | tration is to checkmate Italy mmugh‘ Bulgaria. At the time when Turkey continued | to be a great power, the British Am- | bassadors at Constantinople used to | begin their “personal and confiden- tial” dispatches to the tnrelgn sece retary with the sentence: “Before the snow on the top of the Rillo Mountain melts, there will be an- other war in the Balkans.” ‘This may become true again. Only, a | war in the Balkans will mean a war in Europe and probably a war in the Far East * % % % The Carnegic Peace Foundation which keeps branches all over Europe to promote the cause of peace and disarmament announced lately that | their German affiliation has been Greece has territories which are There are | treaties and agreements, especially the | Balkan pact. which guarantee a status quo in that part of Europe.

To their great surprise, the German doctor} was not at the station; he could be |found nowhere. After a few days’ search it was discovered that Hrtler had sent him to jail. He did not need any peace societies. Harp Program Today. Miss Edythe M. Brosius, harpist, WASHINGTON. QUIZ OF LAWYER OPEN T0 PUBLIC Eight Attorneys for Gang- sters to Be Questioned in Philadelphia. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, March 9.—With the public sitting “down front” for the first time in American bar his- tory, the stage was set tonight for| what a Philadelphia Bar Association | Investigating Committee has billed as the “inside story” of how gangdom hires its lawyers. Eight attorneys, one a Pennsylvania State Senator, will appear before the County Board of Judges Monday to| answer charges of unprofessional prac- | tices, including accusations that gang- ster clients paild several in advance for continuing service to underworld “mobs.” The eight accused—Senator Samuel W. Salus; his brother Herbert, a civil | service commissioner: their associate, | Albert P. Goldberg; Arthur 8. Werb- | lun, Fred C. Gartner, former State| Representative and former civil serv-| ice commissioner; Bernard J. Lemisch, 1. J. Brad Brosky and Charles J.| Green—have denied the allegations. The Board of Judges of Common Pleas Court, after studying the re- port of the Bar Association’s Investi- gating Committee, ordered the attor- neys to show cause why they should rnot be disciplined. Their right to represent criminals | is unquestioned, but their methods and intent are challenged. TERMITES - Termites may be destroving vital parts of your home.
