Daladier Voted Decree Powers; Anglo-Italian Pact Nearly Ready; Rebels in Sight of Mediterranean
Daladier Voted
Financial Power
PARIS, April 13 (U. P.).—Premier Edouard Daladier’s “National Defense” Government rode into full power to rule Frenth financial and economic policies by decree today
when the Senate voted overwhelmingly to support the Chamber’s indorsement of the new policy. Thus indorsed by both houses of Parliament, the Premier was free to go ahead for the three months’ par-
.Hamentary recess with his program
of pulling France out of its financial morass and easing the social unrest which has tied up the heavy industry and rearmament program in the Paris region. Theoretically, M. Daladier would be permitted to issue decreés on any subject, but his declaration to Parliament indicated he would confine them to financial and -economic matters and seek as far as possible to solve labor problems by negotiation and conciliation. The Chamber, by the reassuring vote of 508 to 12, gave the Cabinei in the early nours of today full financial powers until July 31 with the provision that the decrees were subject to Parliamentary ratification before Dec. 31. To get the powers, the Cabinet had to assure the Chamber that it would seek recourse to none of the bold measures which resulted in the overthrow of Leon Blum’s Cabinet —capital levy, revalorization of the Bank of France gold reserves and centralization in the Bank of France of foreign exchange dealings. There was a minor increase today in the number of sit-down strikers in Paris-area metallurgical strikes, But tenseness was ended because of an agreement reached late yesterday with workers of nationalized airplane and airplane motor factories, who agreed to return to their jobs today; and M. Daladier hoped that the strike wave would have been ended by tomorrow.
Airplane factory workers agreed to abandon their rights under the 40-hour work week law, and work for 45 hours a week in the-interest of national defense, in return for a 7 per cent wage increase.
Japan’s Reinforcements
Halt Chinese Drive SHANGHA], April 13 (U. P).— China {fail today to consolidate her victories in Shantung Province and the Japanese Imperial forces made plans for an immediate drive on the Chinese provisional capital
of Hankow. Strong Japanese Feintorcements appeared to have broken the. Chinese counter-offensive in “NorthCentral Chind. Chinese spokesmen admitted that their forces had encountered sudden and serious “resistance” in all parts of Shantung. Informed. foreign military observers said there were indications that five Japanese divisions would open an immediate, broad .counterdrive in which: Shantung, and perhaps the entire Chinese “Maginot line” along the Lunghai railroad would be threatened. The Lunghai defenses guard key “gateway” cities to Hankow.
TOKYO, April 13 (U. P.).—Reports that Japan had asked Great Britain to mediate in the ChineseJapanese war were denied today by the Foreign Office spokesman,
Rebels Advance To 12 Miles From Sea
HENDAYE, Aprii 13 (U. P).— Rebel troops, renewing their drive to cut Barcelona off from Valencia and Madrid, battled their way today to a point only 12 miles from the sea in the region of San Mateo. The Rebels made their new advance south of Tortosa despite strong Loyalist resistance. Rebels announced that they had
taken the towns of Cati and Chert
and were within two miles of San Mateo on a front of approximately 10 miles. In the north they claimed a
_ strong Loyalist offensive against

MANILA—“Mystery ships” reported destroyers or submarrines,
the Balaguer sector had been stopped. The capture of San Mateo was considered imminent. Southwest of Morella the Rebels captured a series of positions dominating the Bergantes River. They took numerous prisoners including a group which was attempting to blow up a bridge over the Bergantes. Rebels, using tanks in place of
| shock troops, broke the Loyalist line
north and south of the Morella-San Mateo-Valencia highway, at the villages of Canet lo Roig and Cati. Soldiers on the hills could see the Mediterranean plainly. So improved was the Rebel situation that there was talk of celebrating victory in the “Battle of the Mediterranean” by ringing church bells in coastal towns and villages on Easter. | It was disclosed that the Loyalists had sent urgent orders for reinforcements both from Barcelona and Valencia, in the belief that the big fight for control of the coast was at hand. Loyalist troops worked all night on secondary defenses.
GIBRALTAR, April 13 (U. P.).— It was reported today that German topographical experts had arrived at Algeciras, across the bay from Gibraltar, and that fortification works were being built in the area.
Destroyers Hunt
‘Mystery Ships’
MANILA, April 13 (U. P.)—Two United States destroyers were ordered late tonight to proceed to Davao, on Mindanao Island, in connection with reports that 22 “mysterious” vessels were anchored in Davao Bay in the southern Philippines. It was also revealed that the
Philippine Army had dispatched three planes to Davao, after the Collector of Customs there said the vessels were either destroyers or submarines. " He said that one of the ships appeared to be a tender and that the fleet did not show colors nor reply to wireless inquiries. How the ships were identified, the Collector did not say. -
EXTEND PERIOD FOR ~ SALARY COLLECTION
The attorney general's office in an opinion today expanded the period of time in which sanitary commissioners in first and second class cities may collect. a $3600 annual salary. : The opinion was sought by W. H. Frazier, director of the division of streams and water pollution. The act which created sanitary
commissioners stated that they were entitled to receive $3600 annual salary during the actual period of construction of a sanitary project. Thereatizr the salary is $600 annu-
y. The opinion today held that the larger figure should apply during the period before actual construction when plans are being drawn and that this time was “of the utmost importance” and requires “ex-
pert attention and skill.”
1 Anglo- italian 1 Pact
Nearer Reality
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Aprii 13.—On May 9, at Geneva, Great Britain will pave the way for recognition of Ethiopia as an integral part of the new Roman Empire. At the same time, or a little later, France will follow Britain's: lead. Sooner or later, so will the United States. For if the other, more directly interested powers recognize the status quo in Ethiopia, the United States, for practical considerations, is expected to do the same. A Thus will end what the British Government now calls an “Snomglous situation”—a situation which at one time had Britain and Italy on the edge of war. Great Britain and Italy intend to initial agreement in Rome Saturday, it was reported in reliable quarters at London and Rome today. Leslie Hore-Belisha, War Secretary, is ter visit Premier Benito Mussolini in Rome April 23 to discuss future relations, and then is to go on to paris to confer with French leaders.
Collective Security Buried
By this act, Britain will formally bring to an end the final, tragic chapter of the postwar ideal of world peace based on collective security. And by it she will consecrate the new era, which is not really new because it is based on the old conception of balance of power. By this act, too, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain will cross his Rubicon and burn his bridges behind him. He will stake his political life on the hoped-for Triple Entente between Italy, Britain and France and on the European appeasement which he hopes to build from this according. By his stand, Premier Chamberlain completely reverses the policy of former Foreign Minister Anthony" Eden. Capt. Eden’s resignation, due to this reversal, gave rise to a storm of disapproval directed against the Prime Minister. Unless Mr. Chamberlain makes good with the new policy, therefore, he will almost certainly be overthrown by the house of Commons. Personal Feud Charged Mr. Chamberlain’s opponents charge that his plan to secure recognition for Italy's Ethiopian conquest constitutes the “final betrayal” of the only attempt Britain ever made to uphold the sanctity of peace and justice in international affairs. His friends, however, insist that “common sense” is merely having its belated innings. They charge that Capt. Eden’s Italian policy was dictated largely by his personal dislike for Premier Mussolini, and that war is too big a price to pay for a personal feud. . There is reason to believe that Premier Mussolini has always desired an understanding with Britain and France, rather than with Germany. As these two powers remained hostile, doing everything they could to break him, he had little choice of friends. He was pushed into Adolf Hitler's arms. Premier Chamberlain is convinced a reversal of this policy is imperative if the peace of Burope is to be saved.
EX-BASEBALL STAR FREED IN SLAYING
SAULT STE. MARIE, Ontario, April 13 (U. P.).—Vernon Spencer, acquitted’ of a charge that he murdered Helen Grier in a northwoods hunting lodge last Oct. 28, prepared today to return to his Wixom, Mich., dairy farm “to make a new start.” A jury of North country farmers and tradesmen deliberated less than three hours last night before they found the former major - league baseball player not guilty. In the crowd that rushed forward to congratulate Spencer was the wife he left behind on their farm while he went moose hunting in the North woods with Miss Grier, 28-year-old stenographer.

depression tactics, swiftly formu-
lated his new program.
Following up an evening session with Cabinet and fiscal officers last night, Mr. Roosevelt summoned to the White House for 5 p. m, conference today a picked group.of Congressional lieutenants. They were: Senate Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky.), Chairman Glass (D. Va.), of the Senate Appropristions (Som. C.), of the Senate Unemployment and Relief Committee; House Majority Leader Sam Rayburn (D. Tex.). Chairman Edward T, Taylor (D. Colo.), of the House Appropriations Committee; Rep. Clifton A.
Woodrum (D. Va.), and Rep. Clar-
ence Cannon (D. Mo.), both of the House Appropriations Committee. Before conferring with the Congressional group, Mr. Roosevelt planned to spend half an hour at midday with Aubrey Williams, chief aid of Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins. It was noted that Vice President John N. Garner was not included in either the White House conference last night or that scheduled today. President Roosevelt, however, denied reports that Mr. Garner did not approve the proposed new spending campaign.
Lewis Demands
Wage Bill Passage WASHINGTON, April 13 (U. P.).

Committee for Industrial Organiza-

tion Yotay demanded that President Roosevelt’s Administration provide leadership to break the deadlock on wage-hour legislation and clear the way for a bill this session. , Lewis demanded action as Chairman Mary T. Norton (D. N. J.) presented the House Labor Committee a bill to establish minimum wages of 40 cents and a maximum week of 40 hours. Mrs. Norton predicted a wage-hour bill ‘would be reported favorably in some form tomorrow. Her bill was the second before the committee, which already was considering a flexible wage-hour standard drafted by a subcommittee headed by Rep. Robert Ramspeck (D. Ga.). \ Lewis indorsed the Ramspeck Bill and said: “It's about time for the Roosevelt Administration to provide a little leadership.”
AAA Announces Wheat Allotments
- WASHINGTON; April 13 (U. P.). The Agricultural Adjustment Administration today announced it had allotted 62,500,000 acres to 42 wheat producing states under the 1938 farm program. Individual acreage allotments will be based on planting and diversion during the past 10 years. Farmers who comply with acreage allotments will receive benefit payments of 12 cents a bushel for the
average yield on the allotted acreage. A penalty tax of 90 cents a bushel on acreage in excess of allotments will be deducted from any benefit payments due farmers. This year, the AAA said, no deductions will be made for exceeding wheat allotments if co-operating farmers reduce other soil depleting crops so as not to exceed the total
soll-depleling allotment for his farm. The acreage allotment for Indie ana was 1,689,970 bushels.
Ludlow to Renew Referendum Drive
Times Special WASHINGTON, April 13.—Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) will again seek action on his war referendum proposal, he declared today. Without setting a definite date, he served notice on the House of Representa= tives that he intends to do so.
Congressman to Ask
Road Fund Increase
WASHINGTON, April 13 (U. PJ), —The Administration faced another Congressional fight today if it ine tends to cut Federal road funds for 1939 to half the amount appropriate ed in recent years. Chairman Wilburn Cartwright (D. Okla.) of the House Roads Committee served notice that he would move — unless the Administration capitulates— to increase the $100,« 000,000 for highway construction in the Agriculture Department Ape propriation Bill, now under conside eration, to $201,500,000. For this fiscal year, $180,000,000 was appropriated for grants to states and other road purposes. President Roosevelt's projected plan for public works spending ine dicated that the Administration might abandon the position it took in budget estimates submitted early this year. House Marj rity Leader Sam Rayburn (D. Tex.), however, was. described as “cold” to the proposed increase and ready to fight an amount as large as proposed. He will support Mr. Roosevelt's request last fall that Congress cut highway aid funds in half.
