Abolition against the labor department’s rule against gainful employment by alien students. Non-interference by the department of justice in political and economic movements of workers. Better provision in the District of Columbia for orderly reception of organized petitioners with full guarantee of their rights to assemble, speak and petition. Take Marines From Haiti Changes in radio commission policy to protect small stations expressing minority viewpoints. Withdrawal of marines from Haiti. In addition, the President-elect is urged to sponsor the following legislation: Repeal of the espionage act under which the post office department may ban from the mail materials its solicitor regards as seditious. Jury trials to determine whether material banned by the postoffice department is actually obscene. Prohibition of telephone wiretapping evidence. Admission to citizenship of aliens who decline on sciscientious grounds to bear arms. Permit Refugees to Enter Forbid any form of universal registration of aliens. Modify deportation procedure as recommended by the Wickersham commission. Permit bona fide political refugees to enter and remain in this country outside immigration restrictions. Increase autonomy of reservation Indians. Etablish civil government for the Virgin islands, Samoa and Guam. Compensation by the federal government to federal orisoners wrongfully convicted of crimes. Aid in ending the third degree by making inadmissible in federal courts confessions not made in open

HOUSE DELAYS ON RELIEF BILL No Move Made to Act on Wagner's Measure; Passed Senate. Ily Scrippx-II award Xnrxpaprr Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. —With only five working days of the session left, the house has made no move to act on the Wagner relief bill passed by the senate Monday. The bill is before the house committee on banking and currency. Its chairman. Representative Henry B. Steagall (Dem., Ala.), is noncommittal about when action will be taken. Speaker John N. Garner, whose support of any bill is sufficient to bring it before the house for a vote, likewise is noncommittal. Members of congress interested in the measure believe leaders are waiting word from President-Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt. * If the bill is not enacted in this congress, Senator Robert F. Wagner may have a better opportunity to press it in the next one. He may be chairman of the senate banking and currency committee, which has handled all legislation concerned with the R. F. C. Senators Duncan U. Fletcher and Carter Glass both outrank him on the committee, but Fletcher may become chairman of the commerce committee instead, and Glass will have a choice between banking and currency appropriations. The house banking and currency committee meets today, and unless it decides at that time to act on the relief bill, there is little chance for it this session.

LIGHT, WARM COLORS PREFERRED BY FLIES Pests Are Color Blind, But Like Bright Hues, Says Scientist. By Science Service NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—Flies go to light colors in preference to dark ones, not because they have any color likes or dislikes, but merely because they like to be where it is bright and warm. Indeed, in all probability they are totally color blind and see colors only as brighter or duller degrees of gray. These are the conclusions pre-

CONFEREES CUT FEDERAL TRADE BOARD’S FUNDS Action Denying Money to Operate to Be Fought by Liberals. B;/ Scrippu-llotcard S wipaprr Allium 9 WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.—Action by senate and house conferees denying the federal trade commission funds with which to operate during the next fiscal year will be fought in the senate by liberals of both parties. Conferees late Friday reduced the amount allowed the commission from the $1,101,500 allowed by the senate to $780,000. an increase over the original house figure of S2BO - 000 for the purpose of completing the investigation of utilities. However, without the sum allowed by the senate, the economic division of the commission only fact finding body in the government, will be disbanded. It will be possible for liberals to block passage of the independent offices appropriation bill by this congress if they choose to do so. With only five days of the session left and the calendar of the senate choked with pending business, it would be a comparatively simple matter to prevent a final vote on the conference report. Senate conferees who abandoned the senate’s position in favor of more money for the commissions are Senators Henry W. Keyes tßep., N. H.), Reed Smoot (Rep., Utah), Frederick Hale <Rep., Me.), Carter Glass (Dem., Va.). and Royal Copeland (Dem.. N. Y.). 15 IN PEACE CONTEST Forty Congregations Are Expected to Enter Church Event.
