March 4 —(UP) ' —Ten year old Alyce Jane McHenry's upside down stomach was: rightened today in a long and h<iz- ■ ardcus “clinic op ration" which the little Nebraska girl faced with a smile and a song. “I don’t want anybody to siy that this operation was a success, but I don’t want anyone toeay that It was I the opposite." Dr. Philemon Trues--1 dale, noted diophragmatic hernia surgeon, told the United Press as he emerged from the operating room early this afternoon. Forty-five physicians witnessed the operations. Other do'-tons, however indicated that the delicate operation on the little girl had gone off satisfactorily and that it waa now merely a quesI tion of whether she had sufficient strength to recuperate.

Mar. 4.--(U.R) — A comprehensive plan for replace- i ment of NRA with a federal labor law was presented by research ex- , perts today as President William Green of the American Federation pf Labor renewed his demand for labor security and the right to earn a living. The federal labor plan was submitted by the twentieth century fund, a research body headed by ! Edward A. Filene, Boston mer- ’ chant. Its principal recommendations were: 1 Clarification and strengthening ;of collective bargaining guarantees under section 7-A. Establishment of a semi-judicial federal labor commission modeled after the interstate commerce commission and armed with the power of subpoena. Government encouragement for collective bargaining. Divorce of the function of mediation in labor disputes and enforce- | ment of federal labor laws, j Provisions for definite procedure j in labor disputes. ! Establishment of a special investigation commission to study practices of employers and employes in collective bargaining. Green's demands were presented I before the town hall forum. He predicted that continued denial of the right to earn a decent living and of security in that living would drive “even American wage earners” to radical methods. o Senator VanNuys Introduces Bill Washington.
