Congress Probe of U. S. Iron Exports Mapped

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 (U. PJ). —Congressional leaders planned today to investigate thoroughly exports of American scrap iron—a vital war material—with a view to legislation controlling or halting such shipments. :

FEDERAL BOARD STUDIES CREDIT

Market Committee Expected To Discuss Break in Stock Prices.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 (U. PJ). —The Federal Reserve Board's Open Market Committee, which serves in an advisory capacity on credit matters, meets today to consider the general credit situation in the nation. Although Reserve officials insisted it was a routine meeting, financial circles regarded it as significant in view of the feeling in some quarters that the country is moving toward “tight” money conditions. Several members of the committee | cut short their vacations to attend the conierence.

. A Reserve Board authority said the meeting is not directly connected with the current stock market

break. He admitted that the mar-

ket situation would come up for discussion but only as part of the

| whole survey.

Although Board officials were mute concerning rumors in the financial community ‘of an impending reduction in the 55 per cent margin requirements, it was learned authoritatively that the Board has no immediate intention of changing it. Nor has the Securities and Exchange Commission recommended a change to the Board, it was understood, Meanwhile, the Administration studied possible effects of the stock market decline on business and industry.

EX-MAYOR KERN PAYS VISIT TO CITY HALL

Former Mayor John W. Kern was in Indianapolis today to complete signing of official papers and other City business. He conferred with Mayor Boetcher yesterday afternoon. : Mr. Kern is to return to Washington Monday where he is to assume his duties on the Federal Tax Ap-

and Russia from Chios to the Dardenelles. The plan would leave part of the Eastern Mediterranean in the vicinity of Syria and Palestine uncovered, but there has been no “piracy” there. There also would be a blank space south of Malta, but Britain and France might take it over, enabling ships to skirt the Italian zone without crossing it. The nations were anxious to push the plan through and avoid further incidents which might provoke a war. Each day's delay, delegates knew, gave additional chance for some incident in the “pirate” crisis that would precipitate an explosion ‘in

the capitals of Europe. Already Italy and Russia were exchanging open threats of direct action against- each other. The path toward seemed clear until Commissar Litvinov—regdrded by the British and French delegates as the infant terrible of the conference because of his undiplomatic insistence of identifying the officially mysterious submarine power as Italy—studied the British-French proposals. These proposals had been worked out carefully in hope that even if Italy refused to join in the naval patrol plan, and thus help keep the Mediterranean free of submarines which Russia charges are Italian, she would not oppose it. But Commissar Litvinov charged that under the proposals only submarines which - violated the 1936 agreement that sought to humanize submarine warfare, would be penalized. This meant, he asserted, that international patrol warships would attack only submarines that sought to sink merchantmen without warning. Under this plan, the Russian Foreign Commissar charged, “unknown” submarines would only have to comply with the humanization rules.

Hull Sends Policy Stand to League

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11 (U. P.). —Secretary of State Hull has instructed Leland Harrison, American Minister to Switzerland, to bring to the attention of the League of Nations Mr. Hull's statement of July 16 on American foreign policy and the replies of more than 50 world governments, it was revealed today. Mr. Hull's action was considered significant in view of China's pending protest to the current session of the League Council over Japan's new invasion of China, the situation in the Spanish civil war in which a number of European mations, particularly Italy and Germany are involved, and the explosive European situation generally growing out of submarine “piracy” in the Mediterranean. Mr. Hull's July 16 statement declared it was the studied policy of the United States to refrain from interference in the internal affairs of other nations, and to abide strictly by treaty obligations.

them to attend, Mr. Schricker pointed out. “Everyone came to see a good show,” he smiled, “and they saw it.” Agriculture Board members who headed exhibition divisions at the Fair Grounds commented on the exposition’s success. F. M. Overstreet, who was In charge of the farm machinery exhibits and the Manufacturers’ Building, said: “The largest number of exhibits ever shown were housed in the building this year. ? “Most people think this is just a time to exhibit merchandise. They don’t realize it is a time to sell merchandise. The exhibitors here actually sold goods. And theyre all beginning to view the Fair as one of their best markets.” Mr. Overstreet also pointed out that the individyal displays are getting larger. Ore department store occupied 3200 square feet of space— the largest in history, he said.

Merchandise Sold

The exhibitors sold all sorts of

merchandise, from automobiles to wearing apparel. «The State Fair in the Manufacturers’ Building is fast becoming a merchandise mart,” Mr. Overstreet declared. : In the Agriculture Building, Guy Cantwell, division director, said that exhibits were large in volume, more representative of all Indiana and of better quality. ‘He ascribed this to the fact that “farmers are beginning to realize the importance of the Fair—they have learned the need to use this show to advertise and to learn to buy and sell seeds.” : C. H. Taylor, Coliseum manager, said Indiana’s excellent crop year brought prosperity to the farm— and to the Fair. He added that good entertainment and ground conditions coupled with ideal weather the first six days brought in the record-breaking crowd. Harry F. Caldwell, cattle barn manager, emphasized good crop conditions and corresponding livestock prices as a cause of the Fair's success. Increase in cattle premiums drew the most exhibitors in eight or 10 years, Mr. Caldwell said. Concessionaires worked late last night tearing down tents and temporary buildings. Exhibitors loaded their displays onto trucks and trailers. One of the closing events yestera day was the sale of 4-H Club cattle. A 1050-pound steer, belonging to Anna Marie VanHoy, Loogootee High School senior, and which had carried off the grand championship in both the 4-H and the open steer competition, was sold. As it was sold, Miss VanHoy stood by and wept.

Brings Record Price

“You get so attached to them,” she said. “You get so you like cattle better than humans after a while.” Miss VanHoy’s Aberdeen Angus steer brought a record price of 70: cents a pound. It was the highest price paid yet in the United States, 19 cents a pound above the previous record reported recently at the Iowa State Fair. A total of 195 head of prize-win-ning steers in the 4-H show were auctioned off for an average price of 19 cents a pound. Mayor Boetcher was honored at a, luncheon yesterday by the Indiang State Fair Board members. He spoke twice on the radio, expressing Indianapolis’ the Fair. John A. Day, Springport, won the lighthorse team pulling contest. However, the team failed to break

NEW YORK, Sept. 11 (U. P.).— The American Newspaper Guild was on record today as upholding all but one of the actions of its St. Louis convention, which included affiliation with the Committee for Industrial Organization and broadening the membership base to include commercial department employes.

Fair Board Member

Denies Ban on Police

E. Curtis White, Indiana State Fair Board - member, today denied published reports that the board had decided not to have city police on fair duty again. “The matter was discussed,” he said, “but there was no formal decision made.” Other board members also said

was taken. The matter came before the board after Albert Kahn, a groom employed by Mrs. Ione T. Kaiser, Red Bank; N. J., was arrested when he tried to enter the horse show ring through the east gate. He had been summoned to aid in the heavy harness stake event. Police Chief Morrissey said that he was called from his home last night in connection with the arrest. “Mr. Kahn,” he said, “admitted to me he was wrong in the case, and apologized to the arresting officer. Then I released him to go to another fair.” :

U. S. INTERVENTION FOR DAHL REPORTED

HENDAYE, FRENCH-SPANISH BORDER, Sept. 11 (U. P.).—It was understood today that the United States- Consul at Seville is negotiating for the release of Harold Dahl, Champaign, Ill, aviator captured and sentenced to death by the Spanish Insurgents, Mrs. Dahl appealed by letter from Cannes to Gen. Francisco Franco to spare her husband's life. Mr. Dahl formerly attended Butler University at Indianapolis in the United States. :

PATROLMAN FACES TRIAL BOARD TODAY

Traffic Patrolman Francis Logue, 134 S. McKim St., was to face a police trial board at 2 p. m. today after Chief Morrissey suspended him yesterday.

Heywood Broun, Guild, president, made this statement: “The membership has shown its overwhelming belief that the C. I. O. is the real labor movement of the country. It also has given its approval to the general policies of the Guild, including real industrial unionism, progressive trades union democracy and the right of the union to take a stand on public issues. “The vote to rescind the resolu= tion on Spain is by no stretch of the imagination a tolerance of fascism. Many members evidently feel that the Guild should not take sides in this burning international controversy. “Since the membership of the Guild is the supreme authority I have every reason to believe and hope that there will be a complete unity among all our members in carrying out those decisions which

have been made in the referendum.” an :

diana has kept pace with the national program, and said one of the most successful activities of his Administration has been the establishment of the State Labor Division. “This Division is founded on the belief that common sense and sane reasoning should be the basis for settling disputes among men. We believe labor and industry are willing to arbitrate their differences if an impartial third party will interpret the problems of both

‘ sides,” he said.

Declaring the people who complain about taxes seldom stop to analyze the services they receive from government, Governor Townsend said he was doing all in his power to keep the actual cost of running government “within reason.” He explained the functions of the Department of Financial Institutions, the State Tax Board, the State Public Health Department. and the Public Welfare Department. >

American labor movement for both craft (A. F. of L) and industrial (Cc. 1. 0.) unions,” Mr, Truman said. «This sort of board has been established and is now functioning to the advantage of both groups in Philadelphia, and we want that here. i “It would be a sort of board of strategy for the city’s labor. It would arrive at understandings between the two groups on strikes and matter that now occasionally produce discord.” : C. I.

A. F. of L. Is Victor In NLRB Election

AMBRIDGE, Pa., Sept. 11 (U. P.). —The American Federation of Labor won ga crucial election in the plant of the National Electric Products Co., the National Labor Relations Board -announced early today. The vote was 780 for the

A. F, of L. union against 675 for

the union of the Committee. for Industrial Organization. The Labor Board announced that 155 votes, challenged by both sides, were not counted in the totals. The challenged votes, each in a sealed envelope, will be forwarded to the NLRB in Washington to be examined. The votes were challenged by the C. 1. O. affiliate, the United Electrical & Radio Workers of America and by its victorious rival, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, A. F. of L. affiliate.

harles T. Douds, subregional director of the NLRB, announced that he would send: the challenged votes to Washington in view of possible court action in the dispute which already has reached the Federal Circuit Court on the question of an A. F. of L. contract which was voided by the Labor Board after it had been held valid by a Federal District Court.

The result of the election was expected to intensify the Court fight already raging over jurisdiction in the plant. Observers had predicted that regardless of which union won, the dispute would be appealed. to the United States Supreme. Court

for a second major test of the Wag-

ner Labor Relations Act.

LA FOLLETTES FLAY WHEELER | IN COURT STAND

|Senator Denounced for His

Opposition to F. D. R.’s Policies.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer A

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.~Sena

tor Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) |

coleader of the successful Senate fight against President Roosevelt's

| Supreme Court Bill, has been de-

nounced by a spokesman for the powerful La Follette Progressive dynasty of the Northwest, once his ally., This break interests political Washington because of the possible effect on Mr. Wheeler's political future—he is reported to have 194C ambitions, himself—and because 0: his already open warfare agains; President Roosevelt. The split of the La Follette broth: ers—Senator Bob and Governor Phil of Wisconsin—with the Montana Senator is revealed in the editorial columns of the La Follette organ, The Progressive, in a bitterly critical letter written by William T. Evjue, editor of this weekly, and Th2 Capital Times, the La Follette daily in Madison, Wis. Senator La Follette is in Europe.

Wheeler Continues Attack

Meanwhile, Senator Wheeler, who) said some rather tart things about the President and the Administration during the Supreme Court debate, reopened his attack this week in a speech at Bear Creek, Mont, critical of Mr. Roosevelt’s use of the power granted by Congress which he said is greater than that exercised by any ruler in the world today except Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin. After pointing to the previous alfection of the La Follette newipapers for Senator Wheeler, the Evjue letter says: 7” «you will, therefore, understand with what sorrow we have watched your recent course on President Roosevelt’s court reform plan and with what sorrow we now part spiritual company with you. . “Your attitude on the Presiden’’s plan has been a crushing blow to your friends who were willing to stake anything on the belief that you would never fail them in any great test or emergency. You heave

failed them by taking a leading part |

in sabotaging the program of the President.”

Reminded of Former Stand

“Tn the 1924 platform on which Robert M. La Follette (senior) snd you ran for President and Vice President there was a plank in favor of Court reform,” the Evjue lef ter notes. “Down through the last 30 years, ene outstanding leader after another has denounced judicial usurpation of legislative functions.” Senator La Follette has st ack stanchly by President Roosev elt. In now taking up the cudgels against the Montana Senator, the La Follettes are participating in an Administration - “squeeze play” by seeking to withdraw progressive support which Mr. Wheeler has enjoyed. : In many years of service Senator Wheeler has won a reputation as a fighting progressive and, in the Supreme Court battle, won high commendation from New Deal supporfers and liberal elements who disagreed with Mr. Roosevelt's proposed Supreme Court reform. He insisis he still is a progressive and thai he has not changed his views on the need of fundamental social and economic changes.

Term Runs Until 1941

His Senate tenure is not irnimediately at stake, for his term runs

a aval,

If he decided to strike boldly for the Democratic Presidential romination he would run directly up against the Roosevelt New Deal forces and would have to court support of conservatives who will lead the fight against the Roosevelt regime and control. If he wanted to lead a progressive third party movement he would run up against the La Follettes, who hold important salients on the progressive northwestern front. Nobody expects the Senator to align ‘himself with Republicans.

Bride, 15, and Husband Sent To Own Homes

Juvenile Court Judge John Geckler sent Robert Billiu, 18, and his 15-year-old bride, Mrs. Faye Holder Billiu, home to their parents tcday pending hearing Thursday. The young husband is to face charges of contributing to the delinquency of his bride. He was arrested Thursday after the bride's mother and police found the couple in a honeymoon apartment in Udell st. “I will not consent to the marriage of a 15-year-old girl,” Judge Geckler said. “She does not know her own mind.” The judge indicated he would not press the charges against the youth. He said in the past the usual procedure in handling similar cases was to establish a period of year’s separation during which neither of the couple was: to communicate with the other. : «After that time the parents would determine if an annulment was advisable,” Judge Geckler said.

DEATH RATE CUT FOR DIPHTHERIA

Fatalities in Seven Months Reduced 37 Per Cent Over 1936 Period.

Diphtheria deaths in Indiana for the first seven months of 1937 were 37 per cent below the number for the same period last year, State Health Director Dr. Verne K. Harvey said today. Twenty-five persons died of the disease through July this year, 67 in the same period last year, according to State Health Board reports. “This is significant because of the Jenuary floods, with their threat of spreading communicable disease, of which diphtheria is one of the most dreacled,” Dr. Harvey said. He said the decline in diphtheria deaths started in 1930, when there were 63. There were 59 in 1931, 77 the next year; 62 in 1933, 47 in 1934 and 48 in 1935. He ascribed the decline to the increased health-consciousness, the danger along the Ohio river which made persons particularly careful and the spread in the use f preventive measures. Ss Dr. Harvey also said he had been in ‘daily communication with Lake County health authorities and that no cases of infantile paralysis had been reported, although schools in nearby Chicago had been closed because of the disease.

They were married in Harrison, N. Y., on July 31. The baroness is the same who once tried to sell part of her patent medicine inheritance for $30,000 cash; who on another occasion tried a parachute jump, and was left dangling in the air two hours when the ropes caught on the plane’s tail; and whose . second marriage lasted only & few days be-

The latter allegation caused the paron to shudder with horror. He used it as a ground for his own action—that such a statement by her subjected him to public ridicule, ‘the Berlingieris never struck women in ‘public, he said, because they were “of Italy's finest families

0.5. GRAND JURY

INDICTS THREE IN ‘FLORIDA THEFT

Paroled in South AH Face 10-Year Term Under Federal Statute.

The Federal Grand Jury here toe day indicted three man on charges of transporting stolsn property. Two of them had escaped serving life sentences in a Florida parole scandal for the original theft of the property and kidnaping of their victim. District Attorney Val Nolan said the prosecution was undertaken in this district court because of “the complete defeat of justice in Florida which resulted in parole of two of the defendants in 15 months.” ~The indicted men were Joseph F. Yates and Robert Edwards, parolees who now are under $4000 bond from the Illinois District Federal Court on this charge, and William Harper, who this year began a 10-year sentence for the Florida crime.

Kidnaped Firm Manager.

In 1935, the three men kidnaped a Tampa, Fla. loan company manager, took him into the woods, bound him to a tree, stuck a golf ball in his mouth, and returned to his office. They stole between: $105,000 and $200,000 worth of jewels and brought them to Veedersburg, Ind., where Yates was living. Several days later, Indiana State Police, Tampa and Veedersburg police raided the Yates home and found Yates and Edwards with a farge part of the loot. Harper had fled. The state court in Tampa cone victed both men of robbery and kidnaping, and they were sentenced to life imprisonment. Fifteen months later the. parole board, Mr. Nolan said, met secretly and freed the men. At the time, there was a cons« siderable scandal about it in Florida, Mr. Nolan said.

Third Man Convicted

Only last year Harper was arrested and was convicted in Florida courts. He was sentenced to 10 years. Mr. Nolan said that the Federal transporting statute carries a maximum penalty of $10,000 fine and 10 years in prison.

STUDENT EXEGUTES SELF IN OWN HOME

Chicago Youth Devises Electric Chair.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11 (U. P).—= Bertram R. Braucher, 27, an ene gineering student, executed hime “self in a home-made electric chair, police said today. ‘Mr. Braucher was found dead on a bed in his home, with his wrists wired to a transformer on which was dropped a sign “danger—high voltage.” : At the electric light socket, where the transformer was connected, was another sign: “Pull out this plug before touching me.” ~ Officers said the youth's parents told them he had been worrying over failure to obtain a job to finance his engineering and airconditioning studies at Chicago Technical College. Mr. Braucher used a transformsr to “step up” voltage from the 110volt lighting supply in his home.
