By United Press CLEVELAND, April 10.—Negotiations for the possible sale of MidAmerica Corp., top holding company of the Van Sweringen railroad empire, were in recess today, appar- . ently to permit George A Ball, its major owner, to attend a Republican meeting in Indianapolis.

Coakley, former Cleveland, now general traffic manager of United States Steel Corp., and W. M. Duncan, chairman of the board of the Wheeling & ‘Lake Erie Railroad. Multiple reports have sprung up of a possible buyer of the former Van Sweringen holdings. One rumor has said the holdings will be sold to a Cleveland group, another to a New York organization. Amadeo P. Giannini today told the United Press in Palm Beach, Fla, he had no knowledge of reports he was considering purchase. Other reports in New York had been that a group headed by the investment banking concern of Young & Kolbe might be considering it. Ball, himself, after denying himself to the public most of the week, was found late yesterday here in the office of his copartner, Tomlinson. ‘He declined comment on the negotiations or anything else. His secretary in Muncie, Miss Gertrude Barrett, said Ball had’ advised her he would -have no comment to make and that any discussion of his plans by others could be only “conjectures.” Tomlinson said Ball was acting for his (Tomlinson’s) interest as well as his own. Tomlinson sold recently to. Ball all but a small part of his Mid-America holdings.

Chief Justice to Reach Age He Cited as Likely For Retirement.

By HERBERT LITTLE : Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April, 10.— “A compulsory -retirement (of judges) at 75 could more easily be defended.” ‘It. was Charles Evans Hughes, .cor-
ex-justice, who said this in 1927 to Columbia University law students. Tomorrow Chief Justice Hughes is 75, aggressively administering the work of the Supreme Court and in addition waging battle with President Roosevelt on the fundamental question whether state or national governments shall be dominant. In recent weeks he has been showing some minor signs of the Court's terrific pace of work, necessary to keep up with the more than 1000 cases handled annually. But in reading decisions he is full of vigor and his harsh voice is still powerful (Turn to Page Three)

By United Press WASHINGTON, April 10.—Administrator Harry L.

Neither Governor Lehman nor Mr. Hopkins would disclose what Mr. Roosevelt had said in answer to demands of the delegation—which included the Governors of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Rhode Island—to continue WPA at its present level of about 2,200,000 workers.

Brandeis Rebukes Butler In Social Security Argument.
Times Special WASHINGTON, April 10.—The Supreme Court turned today from its three-day open session on the Social Security Act to a closed conference on the Wagner Labor Act, which may be passed upon at Monday’s decision session. The closing day of the Social Security arguments was marked by a thinly veiled rebuke of conservative Justice Butler by liberal Justice Brandeis, after Justice Butler had delivered an attack on a bill now pending in Congress. Assistant Attorney General Robert H. Jackson, defending the unemployment provisions of the Social Security Act, was closely questioned by Justice Butler about the regulations which the Federal Government could impose upon the states ‘in their administration of unemployment insurance laws. 3 “Are you inviting us,” Justice Butler asked, “to consider this on the basis that there is no limit to the power that can be exercised by the Federal Government?” Mr. Jackson hemmed and hawed, and said he didn’t want to say how far Congress could go. “We are entitled to look beyond the terms of this act,” Justice Butler said, leaning far forward. Mr. Jackson admitted that the Federal standards imposed upon the states could be “unreasonable” if Congress went too. far, and Justice Butler then asked him if Congress could also, as a condition to Federal grants for local schools, make requirements as to how the states should run the schools. Mr. Jackson replied that whenever Federal money is granted, the states
may be required to meet specific:
conditions set by Congress for its expenditure. The Harrison - Black - Fletcher School Subsidy Bill, recently approved by a Senate committee provides extensive grants to states for schools, where the state continues to spend as much as its 1936 appropriation and ‘where schools operate a certain number of days a year.

Fame and Fan Mail Come Quickly to Local Rodent.
By JOE COLLIER
Mr. and Mrs. George Hargis, and mouse, £07 Belle Vieu Place, left today for Chicago where tomorrow the mouse will broadcast over an NBC network. He will join a great many other mice over the nation in a featured program that is expected fo cause severe coast-to-coast cat anguish. Mickey, the Hargis mouse, 1s no novice at broadcasting. Several
over WIRE in Indianapolis that he may get a job as staff singing mouse. There was a good deal of fan mail.
‘Constance’ Listener Writes
One person wrote Mr. and Mrs. Hargis: “I think you have a hold of something that is wonderful. Please put him on again. I am a constance listener.” That gives you and idea of how he got» over. Mickey has been -an identified] member of the Hargis household for six weeks. Before that he was just a noise like a canary that seemed to come from between the walls. One night he was singing especially loud and Mr. Hargis said to his wife: | “Let's catch him.” Mrs. Hargis laughed, but Mr. Har,gis moved a table aside in the kitchen, pushed back the coal bucket, and there was Mickey standing on his hind legs bellowing. Mr. Hargis picked him up, and Mickey didn’t even stop singing. He sounds like a canary, and Mr. Hargis said he would rather have him than a canary ‘because he is different. However, both are subjected to cat static—both sing when agitated, both eat lightly. ‘ Mrs. Hargis consulted her budget yesterday afternoon and said that in six weeks Mickey had eaten 17 cents worth of rolled oats, cracked grain and milk. He will have nothing to do with cheese, just like a canary won't. : The problem yesterday afternoon was to get his picture. Mrs. Hargis emptied the gold fish into a pan, wiped the bowl dry and put Mickey into it. He stood up nicely before the camera while the photographer focused the lens. Se Then he began to race wildly about the bowl and refused to stop for a picture. This went on until he was exhausted and had to stop for breath so he stopped on the side “fartherest” from the camera. Mrs. Hargis tried to pick him up and move him over to the camera side, but Mickey ran up her arm. Pretty soon the cameraman flashed the bulb and Mickey blinked and went into an aria that lasted for several minutes. In fact, Mickey ran around and around so fgst that his long tail nearly wou up in a knot. He Can Climb, Too Finally Mrs. Hargis put him back in his cage. He climbed the wire mesh to the top and stopped upside down. the cameraman took another picture. ; Mickey was packed in cotton for his trip. He likes that and burrows a nest and sleeps, or presumably does. He never sleeps when anyone looks at him, Mrs. Hargis said. Mrs. Hargis explained the classic uncertainties of the trip today. She and her husband never have been to Chicago; don’t know where the broadcasting studios are; have had only one meager letter from NBC; and don’t know what it is all about. Besides. Mrs. Hargis said, you can’t tell about a mouse. “We might get him before the microphone and he wouldn't utter a sound. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?” she asked.

Carol’s Brother Reported Arrested in Royal Feud
By United Press VIENNA, April 10.—Prince Nicholas of Rumania, deprived of his royal status, was reported under house arrest in Bucharest today. This would mean that he was under orders to remain sequestered in his home until further notice. This notice was expected to-be that, as plain Mr. Nicholas Snagov, he must leave the country because he insisted that his wife be recognized as a royal princess and their 4-year-old son Peter as a prince Irreconcilably estranged from his brother King Carol, whose second heir he is, Nicholas was expected to go to Austria or France. It was disclosed that Nicholas’ wife and Mme. Magda Lupescu, King Carol's sweetheart of many Years, have not been on speaking terms and it was reported that this may have precipitated the family crisis that led to his erasure from the royal family register. * The Duke of Windsor was informed today of the sacrifice that Nicholas, his second cousin, had made
for love—as Windsor himself abdicated the British throne because he could not have Mrs. Wallis Simpson as Queen. The Duke Ww: 3 notified through his equerry as he was leaving his villa at St. Wolfgang for a motor ride. The equerry thanked the. United Press Bureau here for “thoughtfulness” in telephoning the news. The Duke may have been interested particularly because of the simi. larity of his cousin’s sacrifice to that which he himself made. : But in Nicholas’ case, complications of major proportions were expected. Trustworthy reports from Bucharest said that the incident was expected to shake the position of Mme. Lupescu, for whose love King Carol once renounced the throne. Statesmen and churchmen have begun a new drive, it was said, to force Carol to put Mme. Lupescu aside. Nicholas married Mme. Jana Lucia Deletj, beautiful, blue-eyed, black-haired, dimpled, in 1931, in angry defiance of Carol's demand
that he marry royalty.

Renews Attack on Union; U. S. Industry Enjoying ‘Breathing Spell.
(Editorial, Page 10)
By United Press
Tension on the labor front eased slightly today as striking automobile workers affiliated with John L. Lewis’ Committee for Industrial Organization agreed to permit General Motors employees to enter the parts department of plants at Oshawa, Canadas. With American industry less harassed by strikes than at any period within recent months, the American Federation of Labor and the C. I. O. moved north of the border in their. combat over dominance in union labor. i A. F. of L. leaders announced that they had extended their drive into Canade, countering Mr. Lewis penetration, Canadian officials, led by Ontario's Premier Mitchell Hepburn, continued their verbal attack on the C. I, O. Premier Hepburn announced he would “raise an army if necessary” to help reopen the hampered auto plants.
Trucks Are Admitted
Striking employees at Oshawa permitted trucks to pass through the picket lines after a personal appeal from Mayor Alex Hall and Hugh Thompson, union organizer. Homer Martin, international president of the United Automobile Workers, was reported to have arranged a conference with officials of the Canadian subsidiary of G. M. C. : In the United States, auto factories worked peacefully under agreement signed with Mr. Lewis and ending recent strikes. Henry Ford, at Ways, Ga., hinted he would increase his workers’ wages rather than allow union penetration. Had Talk With Edsel The manufacturer refused to confirm or deny the reports that he planned a minimum $10 day. Mr, Ford's statement was his first since his announcement Wednesday that he would never recognize the United Automobile Workers or any union. He refused to comment on the responses of labor leaders to that statement. “Labor union organizations are the worst thing that ever struck (Turn to Page Three)
NEW THREAT IS SEEN T0U.S. INDUSTRIES
Promised Canadian Peace . May Prove Lure.
Times Special WASHINGTON, April 10.— Whether or not a vast new exodus of American industry to Canada is at hand, comparable to that which followed passage of the Grundy Tariff Law under President Hoover, is in the balance today. If Ontario's Premier Hepburn can devise a formula for keeping the peace between capital and labor on his side of the border, and if the
situation on this side gets out of hand, such an exodus may happen. Premier Hepburn, with a flourish, has picked up the gauntlet flung down by the C. I. O. at the General Motors plant in Oshawa, Ont. He says the time has arrived for a showdown on sit-downs. He will “raise an army” if necessary, he says, to save Canada from the “state of anarchy” to which, he charges, “the Lewis agitators” have almost brought the United States.
POLITICIANS MAKE THREAT OF ‘STRIKE

Mr. McConnell was named to:
head the new ward last week by Walter C. Boetcher, Marion County Democratic chairman. Five precinct committeemen protested the selection, in a letter asking Mr. Boetcher to reconsider.

Mr. McConnell refused to support the solid Democratic ticket, his oppohent charged today. Mr. McConnell was replaced as precinct committeeman in when he refused support for the State national ticket, his opponent said. ; Mr. Boetcher could not be reached for comment.
