SEGY. PERKINS MAKES REPORT Labor Secretary Reports To F. I). R. On Labor Dispute (Copyright 1937 by United Press) Washington, Dec. 21 — (U.R) President Roosevelt has received a special memorandum from secretary of labor Frances Perkins on (he American federation of labor and committee for industrial orga-' uization dispute in the northwest lumber industry, it was learned today as the rival labor factions prepared to resume peace negotiaI tions. The report was prepared especially for Mr. Roosevelt, it was learned, and sumbltted to him at the last cabinet meeting, Dec. 17. It concerns only the C. I. O. - A. F. of L. timber industry dispute which the national labor relations board failed to mediate and which I the governor of Oregon now is trying to settle. The peace conferences between the two groups were scheduled to reconvene at 2:30 p m. They adjourned 18 days ago after C. I. O. chairman John L. Lewis and A. F. of L. president William Green apparently failed to agree upon a 1 truce. The results of those meetings will be reported officially to the committees today. Much importance was attached to the reported timber industry memorandum, however, because labor department officials believe that the battle for dominance in the lumber industry erfstalizes the issues separating the federation and the C. I. O. They also believe that that battle accentuates the serious effects which would result from continued failure to; negotiate a truce. For this reason informed quarters believed that Mr. Roosevelt may be considering some definite (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) BIRTHDAY BALL HERE JAN. 29 Annual President’s Bali To Be Held Here January 29 The Birthday Ball for the President will be held Saturday even--’ng.

Benefit Show Aids I The happy laughter of approxij mately 400 kiddies of Decatur, who I were dismissed from classes to I 'see the special benefit show for,i the Good Fellows, filled the Adj ams theater Monday afternoon. Packed to first floor capacity, the theater resounded with enthus-j iastic shouts and bursts of applause from the youngsters, as ■ they watched the antics of favor-1 lite cartoon characters, silly sym-1 phonies and the art of the Santa j Claus workshop. Several score of tickets were I also given by the Delta Theta Tau sorority, sponsors of the Good Fellows club, to underprivileged children that they might attend. i All proceeds from the show are < to be turned over to the Good Fel- i lows fund for aiding needy fam- ■ ilies on Christmas.

JAP OFFICIALS CONFLICT OVER AH ACK REPORT Split Growing Among Conservative, Radical Elements Shanghai, Dec. 21 — (U.R) — Japanese army authorities, again i changing their stand on the attack on the United States gunboat , Panay. admitted today that they did not believe the reports of their own men that the Panay fired “shells" at a Japanese launch. But despite the assertions of survivors of the Panay to the contrary. the Japanese authorities stuck to their insistence that the' men of the launch unit did not fire machine guns at. the Panay. Foreign military experts received information that the puzzling attitude of the Japanese authorities in the entire incident was duel to a growing split among conservatives and radicals in the Japanese | army. Information was that it was the 1 radicals who were responsible for attacks on American and British warships— and that the conserva-! tives feared continuance of the attacks might draw in foreign nations and endanger Japan's entire far eastern program. Today’s about face, and a promise that imperial army headquart-' ers would continue investigating, the Panay attack, was believed to mark a victory—though a slight one —for the conservatives. It was held to be the result of pressure by conservative army men and I i Japanese diplomatic quarters. Gen. Kumakichi Harada, chief Japanese military attache, again faced foreign newspaper corres-; pondents today. This time he had with him Lieut. Col Yoshiaka Nishi, special Japanese war office investigator. Harada admitted that it was doubtful whether—as he charged' yesterday—the Panay fired 'shells' ‘ lon Japanese army troops in I launches. “In my announcement yester- | day. I stated that the Panay fired | three shots at the Japanese landing force,” he said. "However, as > I the result of an investigation cari ried out by Lieut. Col. Nishi, who returned to Shanghai last night, it has become 4 doubtful whether or not shots were fired.” Harada said that personally he doubted that the shots had been fired. Then he introduced Nishi as a man sent by the war office to investigate. It was understood that Nishi is actually head of the American section of the war office j and that he would be back in Tokyo today to report. Nishi then gave his version, the result of his investigation at the scene of the attack. He said that a small unit of the Japanese army had moved ahead of the main launch party to reconnoiter. The commander of the advance unit, he said, "thought" he heard three (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) o NO REFUSALS ARE REPORTED No Refusals Reported Here For Driver’s Licenses Out of more than a score of examinations taken to secure a 1938 operator's license, no refusals have been returned at the local license bureau to date.
