professionals in Jewish social work to concern themselves more “with some of the weighty issues which disturb the Jews as Jews and as human beings.” He asked the social workers to help direct attention “to the underlying situations affecting the well-being of man,” to concern themselves with the “internal conditions of Jewish group existence”; and “to reckon with a social order in which fissures have developed.” “It is evident,” he said, “that the answers to these profoundly serious and human Jewish problems cannot be found in the perfection of technical methods nor in the mere continuation of the present pattern of social work. The social workers must see the larger setting in which individual and group disorganization occurs, : “Men have a right to expect from social workers sympathy and understanding and direction. They live closest to suffering humanity.
Must Insist on Justice
“The Jewish social worker has his own sanction for an orientation from a higher point of view then the apparent needs of his immediate clientele. It'is in keeping with the tradition of Jewish prophecy to insist upon justice. The integrity and the sanctity of personality is a Jewish concept and the organic unity of mankind is the ideal of Jewish proohecy. “To make ourselves even more fit than in the past, to be true communal leaders, the profession of Jewish social work must further develop its own integrity. We must seek every occasion to democratize the agencies of community welfare. “Whilst our organizations may not engage in controversial issues, upon us as social workers is imposed the moral obligations to employ, in so far as ‘possible, our specialized knowledge, our talents and our time in furthering general movements seeking to improve the lot of man
and to create a more just and de-
cent social order.” The meeting was held at the CoIumbia Club. It was the official opening of the conference. Allan Bloom, Indianapolis, Center Workers president, and Dr. Jacob S. Golub, New York, educators president, also spoke. Conferences on technical phases of social work, and a mass meeting to discuss Jewish activities overseas were on today's program. °
Not Isolated Activity
Jacob Fisher, of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds, this morning told a seminar group that fact finding for community planning cannot be regarded as an isolated or sporadic activity.
ganization process,” he said. “As federations assume greater responsibility for guiding the development of Jewish commuhal services, they will find it increasingly necessary to establish a continuous year-rcund research and information service whose job it will be to substitute facts for guesses in community planning. : “A good part of this service is being provided by the local council _ of social agencies; to @uplicate it is unnecessary. Responsibility for the additional service, related to planning for specifically Jewish needs, devolves upon the federation.”

J, S. PLANNING S COURT ISSUE
Hughes and Roosevelt Split On Social and Economic Federal Laws.
By HERLERT LITTLE Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 20. — The Administration's continued drive for enlargement of the Supreme Court, despite the Court's recent liberal decisions and Associate Justice Van Devanter's retirement, is based largely on a fundamental disagreement. on principles between President Roosevelt and Chief Justice Hughes. The controversy is over this question: 'Shall the states or the national Gevernment regulate economic and social affairs in the future? In short, are we to have “national planning”? Secondarily, New Dealers fear if a political reaction sets in, the balance of power on the present Court—the votes of Chief Justice Hughes and Justice Roberts — will be swung against liberal legislation. These are the reasons advanced here for the Roosevelt determination to press for an increase of two to four judges, even though the increase be. temporary and such appointments be limited to one a year. It is pointed out that the un-
broken liberal victories in the Court “To be of value it must be closely |

have not specifically overruled the long line of conservative decisions under the “due process” and other restrictive clauses of the Constitution, with the single exception of the women's minimum-wage law, on which the Court explicitly backtracked. Decision Adverse to U. S. The Hughes-Roosevelt controversy arises from the long line of decisions, dating as far back as 1933, upholding state regulations. The 1935-36 flood of decisions paralyzing Federal regulation was stopped, according to the New Deal view, by the 1936 election and the President's Court proposals, but with the one

exception of the Wagner act decisions, power to act on social and economic problems has not been advanced. The Wagner act cases involved primarily the commerce clause and the Court in its decisions expanded the power greatly. But the Court has reiterated throughout, especially in the opinions written by Mr. Hughes and Mr. Roberts, its contention that it can and should rule whether legislation, state or national, is “arbitrary, capricious, or unreascnable.” If the Court majority says it is one of these, the law violates “due process,” under the concept of that phrase invented by the Court 50 years, ago.
ADAMS STRIKE END SOUGHT AT PARLEY
Hutson, S. W. 0. C. and Plant Officials Meet Again.
Attempts to settle a strike at the J. D. Adams Manufacturing Co. here were resumed today by State Labor Commissioner Thomas’ R. Hutson, company officials, and members of the Steel Workers Organizing Committee.
Orval J. Kincaid, field representative of the steelworkers’ group, a C. I. O. affiliate, said charges of Wagner Labor Act violations were pending before the regional N. L. RB. : The charges, involving alleged dismissal of three ' employes, were filed a month ago. Robert Cowdrill, Regional NLRB Director, said the charges are being investigated. The strikers, members of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers’ Union, demand a wage increase of 15 cents an hour, The company had offered a 3-cent increase. Company officials said they had not refused to recognize the union but had refused to bargain with it as an. exclusive agent of its employees. Mr. Kincaid said the union had been willing to accept a temporary wage settlement of 5 cents an hour. Picket lines were formed again today at the plant, 217 S. Belmont ve.

Eight Steel Firm Police Arrests Ordered While ~ Workers Ballot on Union
Power Walkout;
Hotel Hit.
} By United Press
Corp. police officials who allegedly
tried to “break up” a Labor Board supervised election in Jones & Laughlin steel plants in Pittsburgh and Aliquippa, Pa., was ordered today. The election, which will determine whether the Steel Workers Organizing Committee will represent all Jones & Laughlin’s 27,000 workers in collective bargaining, began today in an atmosphere made tense by the steel union's charges that Republic Steel sought to interfere with - » the balloting.

An hour after the polls opened, Pennsylvania state troopers in Pittsburgh were handed warrants for the arrest of the eight Republic men on charges of conspiracy to commit assault and carrying concealed weapons. The information were made by an S. W, O. C. organizer.
200,000 Workers Affected
Upon the outcome of the election hinged John L. Lewis’ chances of obtaining contracts for the S. W. O. C. from five large independent companies, which together employ more than 200,000.
The Republic, one of five independents which have been threatened with strikes unless they signed collective bargaining contracts, admitted it had sent “a few trained
‘| observers” to Aliquippa, but. denied
any plan to interfere. Governor Murphy of Michigan, mediator in recent automotive strikes, today conferred with representatives of the Consumers Power 'Co. and the United Automobile
to settle the four-hour power strike which crippled cities of the Saginaw Valley yesterday. Governor Murphy “broke” the strike yesterday in an ultimatum to the U. A. W. demanding approximately 1500 striker power company workers return to their power stations and resume service to the stricken cities of Saginaw, Bay City, Flint and Owosso.
Plymouth Workers Strike
In Detroit a sit-down strike of Plymouth Motor Car Co. employees on the assembly line who protested the presence of alleged “stool pig-
eons” spread today to other departments of the Chrysler Corp. subsidiary. Approximately 4000 day-shift workers were affected by the strike. In Cleveland, a sudden strike of employees in the exclusive residential Lake Shore Hotel caused suspension of elevator and dining room service as well as a shutdown of heat and hot water. In Chicago, company and union officials and members of the National Labor Relations Board emerged from an all-night conference today and announced temporary settlement of a strike which has tied up Calumet Steel Co. production since early April. The announcement said 500 employees would return to their jobs immediately. ! . In Hayward, Cal, 1200 striking students formed a picket line that extended a block from Hayward High School today, and police warned the leaders that any who got out of hand would be taken to caurt. The students demand reinstatement of Vice Principal Henry S. Hampton, who was dismissed by the board of trustees for being “too aggressive and unpopular with students and faculty.” In Hollywood, Cal., craftsmen at 27 independent movie studios worked under an extended ultimatum that will put them on strike tonight unless producers grant a union shop. Three thousand workers threatened to join the 5000 technicians already on strike in nine studios. : . In Washington Senator Berry (D. Tenn.) announced today he would request President Roosevelt for support in an effort to restore peace to the warring American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organization. ————

PRELATE'S TALK
Nazis File Representations In Cardinal Mundelein’s Rebuke of Hitler.
By United Press BERLIN, May 20.—Germany has made official representations to the State Department at Washington against a speech by Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago, considered disparaging to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, it was announced today. The diplomatic move, described as “representations,” rather than a formal pretest, was made by Dr. Hans Dieckhoff, new German ambassador. He was instructed to lodge objections against the Cardinal's speech in which he criticized the German trials of Catholic clergy on charges of immorality, and referred to Hitler as an “Austrian paper hanger.” It also was considered likely the Reich would make representations to the Vatican. No formal protest to the Holy See was expected, however. Appeal Planned to Pope It was believed instead the Reich would call attention to the undesirable consequences of such utterances and urge the Pope's co-operation to prevent similar statements by official personalities of the Catholic Church. . The official Nazi press agency joined to day in the general newspaper attack on Cardinal Mundelein and his reference to Hitler as jon Austrian paperhanger.

Mail was being carried by air in the United States at that time but
there was no transcontinental air passenger service. It was not until 1928 that Clarence Chambe¥lain began a service between New York and Washington, and another route connecting Chicago and Cleveland was opened. The first radio beacons were erected that year.
In 1929 the air mail section of the Postoffice Department was estab-
lished. Diner service was inaugur-.
ated between New Orleans and Chicago. An air-mail pilot managed to fly as fast as 198 miles per hour.
Service Started in 1930
It was not until late in 1930 that passenger service between New York and San Francisco was inaugurated. The New York-Miami service was still in the planning stage.
The New York, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires Line, an early rival of Pan-American, carried its first passenger from Buenos Aires to Miami. Pan-American got its first-mail contracts, and planned seven-day service between New York and Buenos Aires. Stories were printed about a 17-passenger plane being built in England. Today, in 1937, planes are carrying men, women and children some 450,000,000 passenger miles a year. Forty-passenger planes are being
built ‘and sleeper planes are already:
in service on transcontinental routes. Pan-American has ordered six 82,000-pound flying boats with a 4500-mile cruising range, capable of 180-mile-an-hour speed. They are to cut the time from Buenos Aires to New York to four-and a half days. Howard R. Hughes has flown across the continent in 9 hours 26 minutes and 10 seconds at 259.111

BANK TRUSTEES
SUE ON LEGION DEED TO FARM
Ask Instrument Be Set Aside Ty Old Fletcher “Firm's Interest. Suit was begun in Federal Judge Robert C. Baitzell's Court today by trustees for the old Fletcher Ameri-
can National Bank to set aside a
deed assigning the properties of the Laurel Stock Farm Co. to the American Legion Endowment Fund Corp. The suit was brought by Otto J. Feucht, John P. Collett and William M. Fleming Jr. Mr. Feucht and Mr. Fleming are liquidating trustees of the bank. The suit claims that the Laurel located near Ladywood
near Millersville, were deeded ta the Legion's Fund in settlement of a $100,000 mortgage. : This mortgage was held by the Legion and, the suit charges, was defaulted. :
Bank Claims Interest
According to the suit, the Fletcher bank also was a creditor of the stock
farm to the extent of about $60,000. The mortgage originally was held by the Fletcher company and was assigned as an investment to the Legion fund. The suit sets forth that when default came, the deed was made to the Legion fund, but that the Fletcher company received no sete tlement. | On _Dec. 16, 1935, the Fletcher company trustees were awarded a settlement of $83,164.82, which in- . cluded the $60,000 and interest and attorneys’ fees. No collection was ever obtained, however, the suit alleges, and today's action is to obtain collection through having the deed set, aside. Mr. Feucht testified this morning as to the properties and instruments involved. The trial is expected to take about a week. :
