30-HOUR WORK WEEK BILL . NEAR PASSAGE IN SENATE; k FINAL VOTE LIKELY TODAY Senator Black Denies Danger of Wage Cuts if Measure Becomes Law; Pay Control Plan Is Discussed. BV RUTH FINNEY Timn Staff Writer WASHINGTON. April 5 —The senate may adopt the thirty-hour work week bill before night. By unanimous consent debate is limited after 2 o’clock today and Senator Hugo Black <Dem, Ala> hopes for a final vote before recess or adjournment. Several amendments will be voted on before then, one to make the legislation permanent instead of a two-year emergency measure, one to exempt newspaper and periodicals from its provisions, and a third to raise the work limit from thirty to thirty-five hours a week.

A companion bill, to prevent reduction of wages when hours are reduced, may be presented as a result of growing alarm among senators that this result will follow. Senator William E. Borah (Rep.. Ida ), who favors the short work week as a permanent measure rather than an emergency one, expressed a belief that congress may bar from interstate commerce goods produced on less than a stipulated wage scale, if it may limit the length of the working week. Amendment to Constitution Senator Black, who does not admit the danger of wage reductions as a result of his bill, said, nevertheless, that he would like to have a wage-control measure passed on by the supreme court. Meanwhile, in the house of representatives, Representative Paul Kvale <F.-L., Minn.) has offered an amendment to the Constitution specifically granting to congress power to regulate the production and marketing of commodities during an emergency, to prescribe minimum wages for labor and maximum hours of labor. In the absence of such an amendment members of congress are far from confident that the supreme court, will find the thirty-hour week constitutional. Denies Wage Cut Peril To contentions that the bill will cause wage cuts, Senator Black answers that it will not, since all competitors will be in the same position. “If it does not cut wages, then it will increase the labor cost of manufactured articles 33 per cent,” said Senator David Reed (Rep., Pa.). “I sincerely hope i will,” Black replied. Reed argued that this would cause serious hardship to the farmers whose buying power the administration is trying to revive with the farm bill. Senator Black believes also that, his bill would not limit newspapers to a five-day week, but a number of other senators believe it would do so. An amendment by Senator Millard Tydings iDem., Md.>, to specifically exempt newspapers and periodicals now' is pending before the senate, and will be voted on early today. Miss Perkins Favors Bill An amendment exempting plants canning perishable foods already has been adopted. Exemption of skilled labor at discretion of the secretary of labor will be proposed today. With the bill moving so rapidly through the senate, Representative Connery (Dem., Mass.), who sponsored a similar bill last year in the house, hastily reintroduced it this week, and secured a favorable report from his labor committee. However, Speaker Rainey has no plans at present for bringing the measure to the floor of the house for a vote. Labor Secretary Perkins has declared in favor of the thirty-hour week, but President Roosevelt's views are now known. LEAPS IN CANAL, THEN DECIDES TO STAY ALIVE Grabs Bridge Projection. Shouts for Help; He's Rescued.

NAZIS WAR ON ATROCITYTALES Incisive Steps Are Taken to Prevent Further Spread of False Reports. By I nilrd Press BERLIN, Aril s.—The Nazi government, abandoning for the present renewal of the anti-Semitic boycott, took incisive steps today to prevent further spread of false reports of German conditions abroad. The British consulate investigated , the arrest of two British subjects charged with spreading false German news abroad. The men, Geoffrey Frazer, corre- | spondent of the Transocean News j Agency, and T. Corder CatchpoolJ social worker, were taken to police J headquarters while their flat was j searched. It was alleged that writings misrepresenting recent German I events were found. Catchpool was released Tuesday night, but Frazer I remained in custody. Meanwhile, the ministry of the interior issued regulations for withholding visas from travelers suspected of planning activity abroad detrimental to the reich, or of planning to spread false reports, violate the foreign exchange laws, or evade taxes. The cabinet adopted a law setting the death penalty for several types of terrorism, including dynamiting or firing of public buildings and, damaging railroads. The cabinet adopted a law prohibiting the slaughter of meat by the kosher method throughout Germany.
