The salon's main feature was a display of 74 pictures and Ave sculptures by Prtblo Picasso, SpunLvh-born master of the modern French school, who today Joined the Communist party. Picasso had remained in seclusion in Paris during the occupation. The show includes examples of surrealist art which the Nazis banned as "degenerate.

Montgomery, president of the Civil Service Association, today announced the formation of a special committee to seek a series of conferences with the Civil Service Commission toward the solution of a number of personnel problems arising In the service as the post-war period approaches. The. committee is composed of R. E. Robinson, Munitions and Supply; Mrs.

Rose Lake, Income Tax; M. H. Rheaume, National Revenue; C. J. Sly, Labor; Fred Pain, Munitions and Supply; C.

A. McCracken, National Revenue; A. L. Williams, Wartime Prices and Trade Board: J. E.

Duggan, secretary of State Department and secretary of the association, and Mr. Montgomery. The first meeting with the commission, said Mr. Montgomery, will be sought as soon as possible, since the special committee la now already in possession of a number of conclusions concerning these problems that have been discussed by a previously-formed special post-war committee headed by Mr. Robinson.

Statement Anticipated This step is being taken, it is understood, in anticipation of a statement from the government concerning the fate of a number of temporary wartime departments, and one of the Important problems the association would like to take up with the commission Is the ultimate disposition of' the large number of wartime temporary employes. Another of the Droblems. elosplv allied to the former, are the methods and policies to be adopted in the setting up and staffing of the proposed three new departments which are about to be formed Health and Welfare, Veterans' Affairs, and Reconstruction. "The association is also concerned," said Mr. Montomery.

"with the additional problems arising because of continued additions to temporary wartime staffs and the immediate effect this will have on Ottawa's housing, transportation and feeding problems." He believed that every effort should be made to transfer surplus staff from some departments to take care of increased requirements In other departments and, If necessary, make use of existing staffs on a paid overtime basis. Sees Sudden Decline "Existing staffs should be squeezed to get them out, rather than import another 500 or 600 girls into the city." said Mr. Montgomery. With the payment of soldiers' grants Increasing heavily, he could foresee a peak load which will be reached and will then suddenly decline. "Time and money could be saved." he thought, "by the me of already trained chll aervanta on a paid over time basis.

I do not consider 75 cents supper money for three hours work should be considered as adequate overtime pay." "The association feels the time i.aa arrived, continued the president, "when further consideration should be given to the position In which many permanent employes find themselves due to restrictions placed on reclassifications, the quota system, statutory increases and the cost of living bonus. We believe the system should be abolished, and the ban on reclassification should be lifted." It was the civil servant in the hardest hit by these restrictions. $2,100 and slightly over class that Mr. Montgomery believed had been In respect to veterans' preference, Mr. Montgomery said: "As many members of our association are veterans, the association has a deep and sympathetic interest in this question, and it will be proposed that representatives of the association who are members of the Canadian Legion might act as liaison officers between the Legion and the association."

'We never said good-bye to you, only au revoir," declare Greeks in the newly-liberated port of Patres on the Gulf of Corinth. "We always knew you would come back." LaleM reports indicate the airborne landings are going well. Greek, guerilla troops have already made contact with British Commandos. The Nazis are so terrified of these patriots they are seeking out British forces to surrender to them in preference.

Enraged inhabitants of aome village would massacre every German they could lay hands upon. Huns Lvacuatinf. The German high command is abandoning Greece though it would doubtless stage rearguard battles. Troops have been evacuating from the Aeeean Islands under bombardment from the British Navy and Royal Air Force in many places. Their rctrrat is hastened by the junction of the Red Army with Marshal Tito's lorces in Yugoslavia, and by the Russian threat to the Balkan railways, particularly near Jiish in Serbia.

However, Germans have left behind what are called Greek security battalions composed of Quislings and thugs like Darnands infamous militia in France.

No plea was taken and Scott was remanded one week.

Bail was set at $1,000. Thomas Charlebois appeared as counsel for Scott. According to the police report Scott was going east on Gladstone avenue. About 110 feet past the intersection with Bell street, he struck Hayden, who was crossing Gladstone from the south to the north side. Scott told police he had swerved his car to the left and then right trying to avoid Hayden, and thought he had missed him.

He further told police that he did not know he had struck the man till after his car had crashed an iron post on the sidewalk some distance further on, and two bystanders picked Hayden off the front bumper of his car. Hayden was taken to the Civic Hospital in an M. Landreville ambulance but was pronounced dead on arrival. A post mortem on the body was performed by Dr. M.

"We have been an honest nation and brave soldiers," was their last message broadcast from Athens before the Germans defiled the Acro polis by hoisting the swastika flag over it.

I have never offered anything but blood, tears, toll and sweat." Now Britain's blood, tears, toil and sweat have brought victorious troops back to Greece to be garlanded with flowers in immemorial Greek fashion and to be feted as friends and liberators.

(Special) Official quarters report it unlikely that Sir William Glasgow, Australian high commissioner in Canada, will be replaced at Ottawa before the end of the year at the earliest. Last week's temporary appointment of Sir Frederick Eggleston to the Washington post is regarded as an indication of the government's difficulty in finding suitable appointees immediately.

All Canadians Who Fight Japs To Be Volunteers All Canadian airmen, sailors and soldiers who participate in the Japanese war, after the defeat of Germany, will be volunteers, according to reliable information given The Evening Citizen today from government sources. By volunteers is meant that, witlw out regard to the date of enlistment or the branch of the armed forces concerned, to be sent to fight Japan will be given the opportunity of re-enlisting.

Announcement by Air Minister C. G. Power yesterday that Canadian airmen who will flght against Japan will be volunteers and that the R.C.A.F. airmen will fight as Canadian squadrons indicated the government has decided to follow the volunteer policy as to the Jap war for all services. Further inquiries by The Citizen today confirmed this indication.

It was pointed out by one government source that it would be "invidious" for the air force to ask for volunteers unless similar action was taken touching both the navy and the army. The scale of Canada's participation in the Japanese war will be indicated by the Prime Minister in due course as far as the limits of war strategy will permit. It is generally understood that the greater weight of Canadian participation in the Pacific war will be by naval and air units with army participation limited to one or two divisions at most. Battle training for the European war for Canadian soldiers would, obviously, differ more in relation to Far East land fighting. Jungle warfare, than would apply to either the sea or the air.

The government has adhered to the volunteer policy in sending army, navy and air units to participate in the European war. Thus, it is pointed out, the government is merely following a consistent policy in adopting a similar line touching the Japanese war. Small Cains Made In Rain and Mud On Italian Front ROME, Oct. 6 (CP) Indian troops of the British 8th Army have taken the village of Virnola on high ground west of Rimini on the Adriatic sector, it was announced today, but on lower ground in that region turned to a quagmire by autumn rains and overflowing streams activity was confined to patrolling. Meantime American units of the Allied 5th Army captured Loiano, vital road Junction on the Florence-Bologna highway, despite heavy rain and tough enemy resistance.

Americans also cleared Monzuno, a town three miles west of Loiano. Today's communique also reported British troops of the 5th Army had made progress in the central sector, but, did not specify in what localities. It was announced last night that the battle-hard Loyal Edmonton Regiment had won the last German-held ridge overlooking Rimini. Four hundred Germans were taken after the Edmontons seized the height in hand-to-hand fighting. Australia Grants Free Passage Soldiers' Wives By Don Whitington.
