man administrative board to regulate hours and wages has been prepared for President Roosevelt's approval, it was learned today. The measure is expected by those who have drafted it with White House assistance to be submitted to Congress in about a | month along with Mr. Roosevelt's | anticipated message on labor legislation. As now visualized, it makes no provision for regulating or controlling industry. Administration advisers conceded that one of the | primary reasons for the failure of | the National Industrial Recovery | Act was its attempt to regulate cap- | (ital and labor with the same ma- | chinery.

Provisions Are Listed

An endeavor to establish methods of industrial control will be withheld and drafted in a separate measure, Presidential advisers said. The wage and hour measure as it is now conceived in practicaliy finshed form provides: 1. Separate work-week limitations for various industries with a maximum of 40 hours a week.” 2. Assurance of collective bargaining to workers by subjecting industries to jurisdiction of the Na- | tional Labor Relations Board. If that agency were outlawed by the | Supreme Court, new provision would {be made to assure adequate col[lective bargaining protection. | 3.

RULING DELAYED

ON WAGNER ACT

Action Indicates High Court Will Decline to Enter | Reform Controversy.

{ By United Press | WASHINGTON, March 1.—The | | Supreme Court, by failing to present | opinions today in a series of con- | troversial cases, presented an indication, observers believed, that it would decline to be drawn into the nation-wide controversy concerning its future.

Despite the fact that the Court | has pending before it half a dozen | much-disputed cases, the only major decision presented today was one reaffirming and extending the opinion of January, 1934, which upheld the New Deal's emergency gold legislation. At the same time those who have watched the Court closely for any clue to its reaction to the judicial controversy noted another possibly significant circumstance. Two jurists, both eligible for retirement under the new Voluntary Supreme Court Retirement meas-; ure which awaits the President's signature, failed to read any opinions. One of these was Justice Willis Van Devanter, a conservative, who has frequently been reported considering retirement. The other was Justice George Sutherland, who failed to appear at all during the session. At Justice Sutherland's home it was said that he had been detained by business and would return to the

Pearson's account of her husband's death and that he would conduct an intensive investigation into the slaying of the screen writer.

NEVADA'S RECORD CLEAN

Open Winter Blamed for Increase; Soldier Is Killed Here.

Ry United Press CHICAGO, March 1.—The nation's automobile fatalities soared (Lo an all-time high in January, the National Safety Council reported today. The death list totaled 3050 crivers and pedestrians, 200 more than the previous high.

Unusually fine midwinter driving conditions and the consequent greater use of highways was believed responsible for the increase, W. H. Cameron, council managing director, said. Boston, San Francisco and Chicago were the only cities of more than 500,000 population to report a decrease in fatalities. New York and Boston reported 12.2 deaths per 100,000 population. Death lists jumped 45 per cent in cities between 250,000 and 500,000 population; 58 per cent in cities between 100,000 and 250,000, and remained static in cities between 50,000 and 100,00. A 29 per cent increase was reported for cities of between 25,000 and 50,000. Nevada was the only state reporting no traffic deaths in January.

Says: March 1.—A

man’s mind is never keener thah when he comes home with a guilty conscience and starts makin' excuses to his wife. I don't think there's a case on record where a wife accused her husband of somethin’ that he didn't have some kind of alibi for. I remember my Uncle Slug was always very neat in his appearance, but Aunt Bercie could a!ways tell when he'd been out with the boys because he'd come home with spots on his clothes. He only had the one suit and finally that suit got so many spots on it that Aunt Bercie couldn't check up on him so good —s0 she went to town and bought him a new blue serge suit. Uncle Slug was so proud of his new suit that he couldn't wait until Sunday to show it off, so he wore it to town on Saturday. As luck would have it, he ran into his old crowd and late that afternoon, as he was goin’ home in the rain, he slipped and fell in a mud puddle and when he got up he was covered with mud from head to foot. When he walked in the house, Aunt Bercie jest stared at him and didn’t say a word. Finally Uncle Slug said “That’s the trouble with these blue serge suits—they show every little spot.” (Copyright, 1937)

Coy Slugged

Wayne Coy

Peter Cancilla

SAYS CANCILLA ATTACKED HIM

Governor Expects ‘Action’ by Authorities Against Local Attorney.

Wayne Coy, State WPA and Public Welfare Department Director,

issued a statement at Methodist Hospital this afternoon ' accusing Peter A. Cancilla, local attorney, or attacking him at the State House. He said he would file charges against Cancilla. Governor Townsend, when asked if he would take any action in the case, said: “I don’t think that will be necessary—certainly, proper action will be taken by the authorities in a case like this.” Mr. Cancilla could not be found to make a statement. He was convicted and fined in October, 1935, for assault on an Indianapolis Times reporter in the Court House corridor. Mr. Coy made the following statement to city police: “Cancilla asked me not to put pressure on to get the Welfare Bill out of committee. He wanted to hold it up. I told him 1 wouldn't. He is trying to kill the bill. I told him the Federal Government was requiring us to do this. He denied this. “I didn’t want to argue with him so I started to turn away. That was when he hit me. He hit me from the side. He hit me with his fist and nothing else. “He was the only one there at the time except a man by the name of

+Milliken, a Big Four employee, who

picked me up. I told him (Cancilla) I would try to get the bill out of committee today.” Explaining the bill over which the argument arose, Mr. Coy said, “It would give the State Department control over County welfare. He doesn’t want this.” City police, who answered a call, made a report to headquarters that: “We found Wayne Coy who told us he had been slugged by Peter Cancilla. We searched the building, but could not find Cancilla.” A similar report was received by (Turn to Pag: Three)

PITTMAN PLEADS FOR ANTIWAR MEASURE

By United Press WASHINGTON, March 1—The world is preparing for another war such as the conflict of 1914, Senator Pittman (D. Nev.) warned today as he urged the Senate to pass neu-

| trality legislation.

Pleading the cause of his “Cash and Carry” Neutrality Bill, Senator

amployment Compensation Ree vision Bill, however, is to eliminate employee contributions, he said. Both compromise provisions are to be written into these House-ape proved measures in the Senate. Meanwhile, the Senate passed and sent to the House a measure which would prohibit *uis Legis lature from amending the 1933 State Reorganization Act. This law, passed during the McNutt Admine istration, centers the responsibility for and control of State departe ments in the Governor’s hands.

Tax Bill to Senate

By a 72-to-13 vote, the House this afternoon passed and sent to the Senate a Property Tax Limitation Bill. This measure would fix a rural tax limit rate of $1.25 on each $100 of assessed real property. The city limit would be $2. The bill also

Pittman characterized it as the most effective method of preventing another world war. The bill would impose upon any nation at war, which desired to trade with this country, the responsibility for transporting purchased goods from* America and the necessity of paying for the goods in cash.

would repeal the “emergency clause” of the old Tax Limitation Act. Bonded obligations, however, would not be includued in the maximum levy under provisions of the bill. Appeals to raise the levy above these maximums would have to be taken by local officials to the State Tax Board. Proposed amendments to the Ale coholic Beverages Act were to be debated in the Senate later today. Other major legislative developments today included: 1. Passage by both houses of a concurrent resolution to establish a Tax Study Commission for the next two years. 2. Amendment on House second reading of a Senate bill to take out what opponents said were ‘“objece tionable county treasurers’ feee grabbing provisions.”
