State Relief Control Proposed; Radio Propaganda Plan Shelved

Rail Wage Cut |

May Block Loans By RFC.

WASHINGTON, May 17.—Senator Minton (D. Ind.) today intro- | duced a resolution asking for an | additional $25,000 to carry on the! work of the Senate Lobby Investi- | gating Committee of which he is

chairman. | “I intend to use this money for | an objective study of newspapers in regard to freedom of the press,” he explained. “My idea is to employ a competent newspaperman, who, without bias, will sift the news and propaganda as presented in sample newspapers representing various viewpoints and then make public the report of his findings. “At the start I shall suggest he explore the pages of the Chicago Tribune, New York Herald-Tribune and the Philadelphia Record.”

CHICAGO, May 17 (U. P.).—Alf M. Landon, 1936 Republican Presidential nominee, charged today that a press regulation bill intreduced in Congress by Senator Minton (D. Ind.) oifers a dire threat of censorship on the American press. The former Kansas Governor said he feared the Minton bill reflects “the attitude of President Roosevelt” and warned members of the Inland Daily Press Association in a luncheon speech that loss of free speech and a free press would mean the loss of American freedom.

Vandenberg Urges State Relief Control

WASHINGTON, May 17 (U. PJ). —Senator Vandenberg (R. Mich.) today introduced an amendment to the Administration's $3,154,425,000 spending-lending bill intended to provide “more relief at less cost” by abolishing Federal relief administration. Senator Vandenberg, outlining a comprehensive program, proposed that a nonpartisan control board be set up to allocate Federal relief funds to the states. The allocations would be made on condition that the states contribute 25 cents for every Federal dollar received and and administer the funds through nonpartisan boards. “The States would take the responsibility as to the method of providing relief and we would get more relief for less money,” Senator Vandenberg said. His program was generally similar to amendments unsuccessfully sponsored in the House by Rep. Bacon (R. N. YJ.

Rail Wage Cut Demand May Block RFC Loans

WASHINGTON, May 17 (U. P.) — Chairman Wagner (D. N. Y.) of the Senate Banking and Currency Committee today opposed the proposal for liberal Government loans to railroads in view of the roads’ effort to obtain a 15 per cent wage reduction. Senator Wagner's committee has under consideration the loan measure which authorizes the Reconstruction Finance Corp. to make

loans to railroads for equgpment and to re-employ workers fur- | loughed since Sept. 1, 1937. Senator McAdoo (D. Cal), & | committee member, announced that he agreed with the chairman, Senator La Follette (P. Wis.) and Chairman Wheeler (D. Mont.) of the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee, opened the drive against the proposal yesterday.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS MINTON demands fund to probe newspapers. GOVERNMENT RADIO propaganda plan pigeonholed. SUPREME COURT gives latitude to NLRB procedure. JUSTICE BLACK lectures colleagues in Indiana tax case. RAIL WAGE CUT proposal may block RFC loans. LANDON says Roosevelt probably backs Minton bill. VANDENBERG proposes relief control by states. BANKS urged to make more loans.

COURT LOOSENS RULES ON NLRB

Quasi-Judicial Agencies Get New Leeway Under Mackay Case.

WASHINGTON, May 17 (U. P.). —The Supreme Court appeared to have charted a course today by which the National Labor Relations Board and other quasi-judicial agencies will be allowed limited latitude in procedure for their cases. The extent of this latitude, the Court has indicated in a series of decisions, cannot be determined in advance. The Court was expected to decide in each case whether proper procedure has been followed. The Court’s poiicy of permitting abbreviated procedure in certain cases, however, was not expected to result in abandonment of the Labor Bird's fight for permission to reopen its case against the Republic Steel Corp., forbidden by a decree of the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. The Supreme Court will hear argument next Monday on the Board's plea for a writ of mandamus. Yesterday the Supreme Court ordered the Circuit Court to show cause why its decree should not be vacated. The Board contends that the Circuit Court has no jurisdiction until the Board has filed the case and its record in the Court. The Board originally sought to reopen the Republic case because it had not issued a preliminary report prior to promulgating its final order against the company. Board lawyers contended that under the Court's latest decision on procedure a preliminary report is not necessary. The Court's procedural course was interpreted by a comparison of its ruling yesterday affirming a NLRB order against the Mackay Radio & Telegraph Co. with its April 25 decision setting aside rates proposed by the Secretary of Agriculture for the Kansas City Stockyards. Associate Justice Roberts, speaking for an unanimous Court, held yesterday that the issues were so clear-cut and well-defined, even before hearings were held, that the company could have had no doubt as to what charges had been made against it and what allegations it had to disprove. It was noted that the observations were confirmed to the Mackay company. On April 25, Chief Justice Hughes ruled—also on behalf of an unanimous Court—that failure to issue a preliminary report in the rate case proceedings was a “vital defect.” He pointed out that no formal complaint had been issued setting forth charges against the stockyards operators.

Vrrensury Official Urges Banks to Increase Lending.

By THOMAS L. STOKES | Times Special Writer | |

WASHINGTON, May 17.—The proposal for a Government radio | station to counteract German and | Italian propaganda in Latin Amer- | ica is stopped dead In its tracks.

| The House Naval Affairs Commit- ' tee, after hearing Mark Ethridge, Louisville publisher, and other spokesmen of commercial broadcasters, today indefinitely postponed consideration of the bill by Rep. Emanuel Celler (D. N. Y.) for construction of such a station here in Washington. Mr. Ethridge, acting temporarily as a sort of “czar” for the radio broadcasters, was highly complimented by Chairman Carl Vinson (D. Ga. for his “great contribution to the knowledge of the committee” when he concluded his statement against the proposal. Rep. Vinson is opposed to any Government radio station, and the attitude of other members who attended the hearing was highly critical.

Senate Action to Be Delayed

Hearing on a similar proposal by Senators Chavez (D. N. M.) and McAdoo (D. Cal)—but with the proposed station to be located at San Diego instead of here—are to be resumed tomorrow by a Senate subcommittee. That group contemplates no action at this session, either. President Roosevelt, though represented by Rep. Celler as favoring his proposal, still has not made his position known publicly. Before making his recommendations, Mr. Roosevelt is awaiting the report of a special interdepartmental committee, headed by Chairman Frank McNinch of the Federal Communications Commission, which is expected to reach him this week. This report, it was learned today, will make no specific recommendation, but will discuss the alternatives—either a Government station, or a co-operative arrangement between the Government and private stations for South American broadcasts.

U. S. Official Urges

Banks to Increase Loans

FT. WORTH, Tex. May 17 (U. P.) .—Acting Controller of the Currency Marshall R. Diggs today called on the nation’s bankers to take a more liberal attitude toward prospective borrowers. Addressing the Texas Bankers Association, Mr. Diggs pointed to huge deposits and cash reserves in the banks and said bankers have a grave responsibility to meet the need of both big and little business for credit.

LANDON TO BE GUEST AT LEBANON DINNER

LEBANON, May 17 (U. P.).—Approximately 500 Hoosier political leaders of both parties, industrialists and newspapermen gathered here today for the annual gridiron dinner at the Ulen Country Club at

| which Alf M. Landon, 1936 Republican Presidential nominee, will be |

the principal guest. Other notables who are expected to attend are Governor Townsend, Governor Chandler of Kentucky, who was a speaker at the banquet last year, and possibly Governor Murphy of Michigan.

Police Officer Told to Arrest Deputy Again

When Deputy Sheriff Frank O’Brien failed to appear in Municipal Court today on a charge of speeding and failing to stop at a preferential street, Judge Charles

J. Karabell issued a bench warrant for his arrest, handed it to Patrolman John P, Kestler, who made the arrest yesterday, and said: “Lock him up.” Later Deputy O’Brien appeared in court, was served with the warrant and was released on his own recognizance by Judge Karabell to appear May 27 for trial. The failure of Deputy O’Brien to appear in court climaxed a dispute between the Sheriff's office and police authorities over the right of a policeman to arrest a deputy on any charge under a felony. There were two versions of the events leading to the arrest yesterday. “When I tried to stop,” Officer Kestler said, “he turned into me and, in trying to avoid the car, I hit a fence, wrecking the motorcycle.” Deputy O’Brien said in his report to the Sheriff's office: “I was out serving subpenas, driving only 15 miles an hour, when the officer passed me at a high rate of speed and crashed into a wire fence at Barth Ave. and Orange St. and went over the handlebars,” the deputy said “When I went back to assist him, he gave me a sticker.’

NAME OFFICERS OF LITERARY GLUB HERE

Robert A. Adams today assumed his new duties as president of the Indianapolis Literary Club for 19381939, He was elected at a club meeting last night, at which Frederick E. Matson spoke on “Freedom of Speech.” The club is to hold its annual dinner Monday night at the Woodstock Club. Other officers named were: Guy A. Wainright, first vice president; Emmett A. Rice, second vice president; Thomas D. Sheerin, third vice president; Joseph R. H. Moore, reelected secretary, and George C. Calvert, treasurer.

Committees for the club season which opens in October are: On officers and members, Mr. Wainright, chairman, with George L. Denny, George A. Frantz, Fisk Lan- | ders and Montgomery S. Lewis; ar- | rangements and exercises, Mr. Rice, chairman, with Wylie J. Daniels, E. Vernon Hahn, John S. Harrison and Richard S. Tennant; rooms and | finance, Mr. Sheerin, chairman, with Henry L. Browning, Samuel R. Harrell, William George Sullivan and Clifton Wheeler.

The newspaper said Federal invesitgators would present evidence to a grand jury at South Bend

escape a death that followed them relentlessly, sparing no one. The great muddy Yellow River “China’s sorrow,” which generation by generation has in turn watered the crops of the farmers and ca-

priciously forced its banks to spread devastation and death over thousands of miles, was a terrible weapon which the Chinese held in reserve. Nobody knew what would happen if they dynamited the dikes as they threatened—except that hundreds, probably thousands of square miles of country would be flooded and that thousands, perhaps scores of thousands of Japanese and Chinese civilians might be drowned. Six Japanese columns had converged on the Suchow area. They had been fighting their way toward it for months because of its importance as a railroad junction. Again and again they had been thrown back in humiliating defeat, the first defeats of their history. Chinese guerrillas had slashed at their long communication lines, Chinese infantrymen had met them hand to hand and thrown them back. Now their day of triumph was at hand— and many military men believed it would prove an empty one. A spokesman here said that more than 100 airplanes, divided into eight squadrons, bombed the city vesterday in the largest single operation of the war.

Fail to Trap Chinese

This morning Japanese troops reached the hills one mile west of Hsuchow. They brought up every field and siege gun they could muster and opened a bombardment intended to complete the ruin which the airplanes started. They brought up motorized units for the final attack, to lead infantrymen into the ruins of the city. Retreating southwestward from the Suchow area in good order, along the Yungcheng highway, the Chinese were resisbing stoutly the motorized units sent to harass them, and diving into the ripening fields for shelter against the machine bullets of swooping airplanes. Military men said that if the Japanese fail to trap a considerable number of Chinese, their Suchow victory would prove a hollow one, for at the loss of many thousands of men, they would have merely extended their already dangerously long communications and found themselves still confronted with an undefeated army, its morale high. Foreign military experts predicted that while the main Chinese army was reorganizing, a separate army would attack the TientsinNanking railroad from the west. A victory there would cut off scores of thousands of Japanese from their bases.

Mexican Government

Guards Against Revolt

MEXICO CITY, May 17 (U. P.) — Government leaders joined today in denying reports that they believed Gen, Saturnino Cedillo, ousted military chieftain of San Luis Potosi state, would rebel. At the same time, it was learned, troop movements toward San Luis Potosi and Guanajuato, adjoining it on the southwest, had been sufficiently heavy to delay freight shipments. Analysis of reports available from all sources indicated: (1) That the Government did not believe there was danger of an uprising but was taking no chances; (2) that if anything it would welcome a Cedillista revolt as an opportunity to crush the only apparent opposition to the President; (3) that a sudden wave of disturbing reports was part of a much bigger problem which concerned not only the oil expropriation and economic questions but the 1940 Presidential election.

Backs Cedillo’s Story

Gen. Jose Escobedo, military commander of Michoacan state, arrived here after a

Gen. Cedillo really was ill as he claimed to be, and was physically unable to leave his ranch to take up

his duties as the new Michoacan commander. War Secretary Avila Comacho admitted he had sent some troops to San Luis, but not 20,000 as reported; that one reason for sending them was that there was friction among workers’ groups; that Gen. Cedillo had not resigned from the Army and taht if he did the Government would merely name his successor. Finally there were reports that President Cardenas himself might resign and that Gen, Maximo Avila Comacho, the War Secretary's brother might succeed him, The President himself made a long and important statement to newspapermen yesterday. First, he said of the reports of a Cedillista revolt: “Gen. Cedilio will not ngvolt. He is at his ranch. Rumors of agitation at San Luis Potosi are not true. There is complete tranquility and not the least fear need be entertained.”

The air ministry announced that purchase of 100 military type planes in the United States would complete the first step in airplane rearmament and that French manufacturers probably would be able to provide the rest.

LONDON, May 17 (U. P.) .—Lord Weir, a leader for 20 years in British aviation, resigned his position as Air Council adviser today as a sequel to the resignation yesterday of Viscount Swinton as Air Minister, The Air Council corresponds to a general staff, under the presidency of the Air Minister. There was little repercussion today as regards the resignation of Viscount Swinton and the appointment of Sir Kingsley Wood, Health Minister, to succeed him. Sir Kingsley got the job, apparently. because Prime Minister Chamberlain believed that he would speed up aircraft rearmament.

NORTHWESTERN

INDUSTRIALISTS PRAISE GROSS INCOME RULING

Supreme Court Decision Is Hailed as ‘Door-Opener’ For Business.

The United States Supreme Court decision banning payment of gross income tax on Indiana manufacturers’ sales in interstate coms= merce today was hailed by officials of the Indianapolis and Indiana Chambers of Commerce and the Manufacturers’ Association as a “door opener” for more industries to locate here. Meanwhile Attorney General Omer Stokes Jackson said he would ask the high court for a reconsideration of its decision. He said the State has 25 days in which to file a petition for a rehearing and “in all probability we will.” Industrial Association officials said more than $20,000,000 will be released by Hoosier manufacturing and retail firms as a result of the decision. The releasing of this sum, which has been held in reserve for tax payment pending the Supreme Court ruling, will “stimulate” busi ness activity throughout the state, they said. Clarence Jackson, Gross Income Tax Division head, estimated the total due as of Jan. 1 this year was

| $12,500,000. Mr. Jackson said he would make | no other comment until he received |a copy of the decision. { William H. Arnett, State Chame | ber of Commerce managing di rector, who co-operated in spon soring the suit in which the J. D. | Adams Co., Indianapolis, was plain=tiff, said “several industries that had planned to expand or move into Indiana have been awaiting the decision.” The decision was described as “pleasing” by William H. Book, local Chamber of Commerce execu= tive vice president. “It will have a good effect in keeping the door open to out-state industries who wish to locate in Indiana,” he said. H. M. Cochrane, Indiana Manu facturers’ Association executive sec= retary, termed the decision a “vice tory” for Hoosier companies engaged in interstate commerce and called the case the most important one involving a tax ever carried to the Supreme Court.

Justice Black Declares

Law Is Misinterpreted

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 17.—Ass0= ciate Justice Hugo L. Black has used a second Indiana case to serve as a vehicle for lecturing his Su=preme Court colleagues on what he conceives to be their misinterpretation of the law a study of his latest dissenting opinion revealed today. Just as in the Indianapolis Water Co. rate case, Mr. Justice Black's lone dissent in the J. D., Adams Manufacturing Co. tax case holds that what the State did was none of the high Court's business. The majority opinion of the Court, written by Associate Justice Roberts, reversed the Indiana Supreme Court by holding that the state's gross income tax cannot be levied on products of Indiana face tories entering directly into interstate commerce It held, however, that interest on municipal securities held by the must be included As~ dise Jus=-

| Adams company in the gross income tax levy. sociate Justice McReynolds agreed on this point, while Mr. tice Black approved. The majority ruling was the same as the minority findings made by Judge Walter E. Treanor while on the Indiana Supreme Court. Judge Treanor is now on the Federal Court of Appeals bench at Chicago.
