NEES0N MAY GET POST Lioutenant Colonel Earl B. Morden, who resigned suddenly as chief of the Bureau of Street Cleaning, today vir tually confirmed rumors Ujat he quit bocaiiHO of the 'interference of politi cians. ' "I am through with that tribe," the former army onginccr nsscrted emphat ically. "I never was a politician and I never will be." Colonel Morden was seen todav at his home on Eagle road, Oakmont, Pa. He had just left his garden, where he had been puttering around with n rake. 'T refuse to say anything," he de clared when questioned ns to his rea sons for leaving City Hall. Questions covering several angles of tho situation were given the same re sponse. At length Colonel Morden was told of rumors ho had been asked to resign because of Inefficiency. It was theu he shot bock his ex plosive comment on "that tribe," and his remark he never was and never would be n politician. "I am a' bug on farming," he ndded. "I intend to. take a little vacation, work on my garden nnd take n few trips." Speculate on Successor City Hall is buzzing today oyer his Miccessor. Among the politicians it is openly as sorted ho was forced to resign when it became evident that he would not make appointments for political reasons or at the orders of the politicians. Ono of the "kicks" ngalust his ad ministration being canvassed freely is that when the street cleaning survey was being made ho employed girls for the work at $8 a day. The leaders believed if there were any $8-a-day jobs to bo bestowed they should bo given to voters with the right factional nffiliations. .With Colonel Morden out the wise acres aro speculating on whether the temporary appointee, John II.

Tho asistaut director Is a $1000-n-ycar place. The chief of tho Street Cleaning Bureau gets $0000 a year. Mr. Neeson's permanent appointment to the job ho now holds temporarily is complicated by tho existonco of an eli gible civil service list for tho place, dating back to tho examination taken by Colonel Morden for the post.

He mode ndverse comment, however, on the P. R. B.'s layoff of 11,000 men. which he called unjustified. He urged workers to speed up production. The wage increase awarded by the fed eral board has apparently dissipated danger of an immediato strike. The increased wage award to railroad clerics nnd shopmen wns said to bo "generally ncceptnble" by Harry S.

It was stated that clerical employes and shopmen would feel the brunt of the retrenchment order. Asked If the employes who will bo dismissed by the lay-off order will bene fit b the wage increase, tho official stated thnt inasmuch as the increase is retronctlve to May 1, the men to be dismissed will benefit.

P Candidate's Accept- ance Speech Expected to At tack Wilson Foreign Policies STANDS FOR AMERICA FIRST By the Associated Tress Marlon, July 21. Senator Hnrd ing's speech of acceptance, to be de livered here to.norrow, is expected by his close nsociatcs to give prominence to the foreign policy of President Wil son and the League of Nations In such a way as to ndvmce the campaign to ward a squarely joined issue between the two political parties. Those who know the mind of tho presidential nominee declared their con fidence today that be would mnke n declaration squaring with the party platform and the partv record and bridging successfully the Republican difference of opinion which threatened a split nt Chicago. Militant Against Wllsonism The exact form of tho declaration wns not revealed, but it wus snid authori tatively that it would follow the trend of the senator's recent statements on tho subject and would be particularly mllltnut in its opposition to thn Wll wn policies, to which the Republicau nomineo regards the Democratic party and candidates as pledged unreservedlv. In addition to declaring unthinkable the acceptance of the league as the President fashioned, it, however, the senator is expected to express in direct terms his belief that America ehould not remain Isolated nnd to take the position thnt the war's sacrifices will prove In vain unless hero is established a new order with ndded security to peace and civilization, Kor American Ideals It is regarded us unlikely thnt the nominee will enter into ii detailed dis cussion ot the leuguo covenant or will speak objectively of reservations or in terpretations. Ho is expected rather to hold his utterances to the broad prin ciples involved, hinging his argument to a plea for American rather than world ideals. He is believed certain to couple with this n declaration that the failure of tho United States to accept Mr. Wll son's league will not be construed abroad as an evasion of duty, but will bo interpreted as arising from devotion to tho Integrity of the nation.
