French Face Pressure
In Rome, foreign observers ex
pressed belief that Adolf Hitler
land Benito Mussolini, in their
'secret meeting yesterday, agreed
on a plan to get t ranee s coop
eration in the war against Bri
tain -by direct action if neces
sary. These observers forecast a nazi
attempt to gain bases on the
Freneli Island of Corsica, off the
"kneecap" of the Italian boot;
Tunisia, In French north Africa,
and possibly the British island
stronghold of Malta, and Dakar,
French west Africa.
The objective, it was said,
would be to make the Mediter
ranean too hot for the British
fleet, thereby crippling Britain's
campaign against the Italians in
Libya and cutting off British aid
to Greece.
In Berlin, Informed nazi quart
ers came up with a belated e
planation that the prime motive
of the Hitler-Mussolini confer

by the senate industries commit
tee. The bill provides that an em
ployer must have been under the
terms of the law lor three years,
instead of one year, before being
able to take advantage of the
merit rating provision.
This provision, which labor
seeks to have repealed in a bill
introduced In the house, provides
that employers who have dis
missed lew employes during the
past year may make smaller con
tributions. But if today's bill is
passed, the employer's employ

years would be considered.
To Alter Death Proof
Presumption o death after
long disappearance must be es
tablished to satisfaction of a jury
by terms of a bill now being con

on the revision of laws.
Seven years disappearance now
constitutes reason tor having a
person declared legally dead.
Another bill would establish
that when man and wife are
killed in an accident, they can be
presumed to have died simultan
eously. Under common law, the
woman is presumed to have died
first, so that the husband's heirs
inherit the estate.
