Russ Prestige Gaining Over U. S. in Berlin

Aggressive Soviet Proves Best Salesman

By DAVID M. NICHOL Times Foreign Correspondent BERLIN, April 1.-—America is steadily losing the ‘new “Battle for Berlin.”

To a lesser extent this is true of. the other western allies, Britain and France. It is true, too, in the gones outside this one-time capital city, but it is here that the crucial action is occurring. Some high-ranking U, 8. authorities are keenly aware of it. They are not yet ready to document their argument completely, but they are preparing to appeal to top levels for n to “get in the game.” The loss here has been one of prestige. The western allies arrived with vague, but wonderful talk about “democracy.” No patent medicine barker ever offered to cure more ills with a single treatment.

Germans Are Hungvies

Now the Germans have had two years of what they are told is democracy, but frequently isn’t. They are permitted to express themselves more freely now than under Hitler, although not much. They also are hungrier, colder, more

To carry out the simile, the Rus_slans just now are doing the best business here. There are at least some Americans who would like to try more aggressive methods in selling their own brand of shirts—de~

Test of Merit |

{Law Awaited

By Employees

Board to ‘Consider’ .Rehiring Woman

Last of a Series

By DONNA MIKELS A test of the state merit law was in prospect today as a result of “fron rule” in the Marion county department of public welfare.

Mrs. Dana Mendenhall, welfare worker who was discharged arbitrarily by the county department director, Arthur E. Wooden, and ordered reinstated by the state personnel board sald she got a “brushoff” when she applied for reinstatement tqday. Armed with a létter from thé state personnel board which said her dismissal was “illegal and without just cause,” Mrs. Mendenhall reported to Mr. Wooden this morning: Says Reply Vague She said she asked about reinstatement, but was told that it would have to be brought up before the county welfare board. She said ‘she asked for information as to when this would be, but that the director's replies were “vague.” Miss Jessie Levy, attorney for Mrs. Mendenhall said she would ask Mr. Wooden today for a straightforward reply as to whetlrer he planned to comply with the personnel board decision. She said there was a loophole in the state merit law which put the reinstatement back in the lap of the appointing authority. The personnel board technically merely recommends reinstatement. Mrs. Mendenhall was fired Feb, 3 for “insubordination” when she questioned the director's judgment in removing five children from a foster home in Boone county. At that time the local department received a letter saying that a movement was afoot in Boone county .0 expose the foster home as undesirable,

Makes Own Investigation

Mr. Wooden ordered the children removed immediately with no investigation or explanation to either the children or foster parents. Mrs. Mendenhall carried out his orders, taking the children from a birthday party, but later went back to check

having objections to the home, She found that the letter was without foundation. She was fired, however, she said, for questioning the director's judgment, She appealed to the state personnel board. In the hearing it was brought out that the welfare department is run with an “iron hand” by Mr. Wooden and his administrative executive sasistant, Robert Christy. It was also brought out that Mr. Christy was holding the second highest job in the department without having taken a merit test and with no previous welfare experience. Board’s Ruling Clear The board ruled against taking children from a licensed foster home without “conditioning” and putting them jn the overcrowded, unlicensed Children’s Guardian home. It ordered Mrs. Mendenhall be reinstated without loss of back

An Indiana avenue stroller who didn’t look before he leaped, played an April Fool trick on himself today. Strolling along the avenue this morning, Johnny Chandler, 29, of 327% N. California st., noticed a car idling in the 600 block. He opened the car door, stepped in and asked: “Is this a bootleg cab?” “No, it isn’t, Bud,” answered Policemen Roy Higgins and Harry Yarbrough as they headed the police car toward the station where Chandler was booked on a’charge of public intoxication.
