BATTLE OPENS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) 1 the president. Today, eleven day« after submis--1 sion of the president s judiciary bill, the political cleavage and roar of argument continue here. Golfers pause on the tee and luncheon soups cool as Washington revels in the apiciest political sub--1 ject since prohibition. The week-end score showed two more senate Democrats bolting the president and Sen. Robert M. LaFollette, Prog.. Wis., announcing support of tlie judiciary plan. Sens. Josiah W. Bailey, D., N. (’., and Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont., announced their refusal to support Ml. Roosevelt. NON-UNION AND (CONTINUEp FROM rAGEjJNE)_ Reuther, U. A. W. organizer. Withdrawal ot national guardsmen appeared contingent on continued peace. Meantime, the city went about its business under a mild form of martial law. T7!t)l halls and saloons were closed. Hotels and restaurants were forbidden to sell alcoholic drinks. Guardsmen patrolled streets by squads, breaking up gatherings of more than three persons. But stores and theaters operated as usual. Resume Work Flint. Mich., Feb. 15. ,UR) General Motors factory whistles were the signal today for 30,000 automobile production workers to tile past time clocks and resume work in plants stilled during the 44-day sit-down strike. The return to work was unevent-. ful. Several production workers wore United Automobile Workers union buttons for the first time in the plants. Little was said of the strike. At Chevrolet plant No. 4 occupied for a time by sit-downers, 250 engines were turned out in the first hour. Normal production is 325 and it was believed this would be reached today or early in the week. The consensus among wofners was that it was 'swell to be back ' to work.” Receive Complaints Washington. Feb. 15. lU.PJ The senate civil liberties committee has recfTved several complaints of espionage among General Motors workers at Anderson, Ind., and is • engaged in investigating the re-

' ports, it wax revealed today. t Robert. Wohlforth, chief counsel for the committee, said an investigator had been In Anderson “off and on for some time" but that he did not know wether he wna there at present. "We’ve had numerous communications about conditions al Anderson for some time," Wohlforth said. The committee lias been scrutinizing espionage activities in all General Motors plants, particularly as conducted by the Pinkerton Detective agency, for several weeks. Representatives of the corporation wer called to the stand today to tell how and why the detectives were employed. SUPPLY BILL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) trips per week between New York and Southampton. England. The estimate of $1,468,404,470 in permanent appropriations mainly for debt purposes was based on an increase of $25,000,000 in interest on the public debt and $8,761.35’) for increase in the sinking fund. It was shown that the treasury estimated $581,000,000 for sinking fund purposes in the next fiscal , year ami $860,000,000 for interest on the public debt. These permanent appropriations — scrutinized annually by congress—are actually not part of the legislative function of appropriating money for direct needs, but are recurring necessities which mainly figure in budget requirements. o SPEED ACTION (CONTINUED FROM . AGE ONE) under the gross income tax law, i educing etate revenue by approximately $2,000,000 a. year. I Republicans presented two bills comprising state platform pledges in the house of representatives. Rep. C. L. Chattin, Washington, I proposed repeal of the 1933 state government reorganization axt under which Gov. McNutt placed all state activities under his control. Rep. ('. 'V. Parker, Pittsboro, proposed returning the office of | attorney general to elective status. It was made appointive by the 1933 legislature.
