bor and flood control projects, including 30 million for Indiana, and 87 million dollars for Army housing. Senator Wheeler would allot 100 million dollars to reclamation. Senator Minton (D. Ind.) declared today that he would continue to follow the Administration and vote against the Copeland amendment. It contains provisions for a three million dollar levee in his home town of New Albany. Senator Vandenberg’s amendment would appropriate $£2,410,000,000 for relief in 1939 but would require that money be allocated to the states for administration by bipartisan boards. The states would have to put up 25 cents of each relief dollar.

Blasts Hope for Vote

The roll call vote on the Hatch amendment showed 40 Democrats voting against it, and 22 Democrats, 12 Republicans, one Farmer-Labor-ite, one Progressive and one Independent for it. It was backed vigorously by Democrats who have at one time or another deserted the Administration on vital issues and now fear that the relief fund will be used in reprisals against them. Senator VanNuys (D. Ind.), who faces a bitter fight for re-election this year, voted for the Hatch and Maloney amendments, while Senator Minton voted against both of them.

House Group to Reject Dirigible Request WASHINGTON, June 3 (U. P.).— The House Appropriations Subcommittee, it was learned today, has decided to disapprove President Roosevelt's request for $500,000 to start construction of an experimental dirigible, A Committee member said that the fund would not be included in

the Second Deficiency Appropriation Bill.

POLICEMAN SHOOTS BANDIT, KILLS PAL

NEW YORK, June 3 (U. P.)—A policeman killed another policeman today while shooting at a suspected candy store burglar. A burglar alarm had brought four police radio cars to the store. Patrolman James B. Fisher, 53, saw a man leaving the store and ran after him. At the same moment, Patrolman John Deaver saw the man leave the store and fired. The bullet struck Patrolman Fisher in the head. Other policemen captured the suspected burglar.

STATE PARK HOTEL STRIKE IS SETTLED

Construction of the new Spring Mill state park hotel near Mitchell has been resumed following settlement of a one-day strike, State Labor Commissioner Thomas R. Hutson said today. The dispute was between the Whittenberg Construction Co., Louisville, and the Common Laborers Union and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners.

WAGE SESSIONS MOVE SLOWLY; GRISWOLD IS ILL

Ludlow Pleads for Arms Conference to Save World Peace.

—

WASHINGTON, June 3 (U. P.).— Congressional conferees on the Norton Wage-Hour Bill moved slowly today toward reconciling their differences, but expected to have a compromise ready for consideration next week. Senator Thomas (D. Utah), the

chairman, believed that a satisfactory bill would be ready to present to both Houses in time to permit adjournment June 11. Proponents of geographical differentials claimed new support in the appointment of Rep. Jennings Randolph (D. W. Va.) to the House group to replace Rep. Glenn Griswold (D. Ind.), who was confined te a hospital by illness. Although Rep. Randolph was a stanch supporter of the rigid House bill on the floor, he previously had supported Southern demands for differentials. Sen. Thomas said that the committee had reached no decisions in its preliminary discussion and that the field was open for compromise proposals. The one most frequently mentioned would establish a flat 25-cents-per-hour wage minimum with authority vested in an administrative agency to fix the wage between that amount and the 40-cents-per-hour goal of the Senate bill. There is little controversy over hours and it is likely that a 40-hour maximum will be fixed.

Ludlow Pleads for

Disarmament Parley WASHINGTON, June 3 (U, P.). —Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) yesterday pleaded with the House to pass his resolution for a naval holi-

day and disarmament conference to keep the world from continuing “its mad course toward destruction.” “The world is ripe for an arms limitation conference,” he said, “And if America does not propose such a conference it will miss one of the greatest opportunities to promote world peace that was ever offered. . . . The people are sick of the devious ways of the diplomatic gentry. The people want peace and they want it by direct action.”

Stock Exchange Gets Reprieve From SEC

WASHINGTON, June 3 (U. P.).— The Administration plans to withdraw its threat to impose more drastic regulation on the New York Stock Exchange in an attempt to convince big business that the Government’s plea for co-operation is sincere, it was learned today. SEC officials said that the New York Stock Exchange had been making every effort at proper selfregulation since its recent reorganization when youthful William C.

Martin was made chairman.

Roosevelt to Send Group To Britain for Labor Law Study.

By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, June 3.--More extensive Federal regulation of com-

mercial aviation and shipping was |

assured today. House and Senate conferees settled their major differences on the Civil Aeronautics Bill, which will group in a single new board most of the powers over aviation now exersized by six Federal agencies. The completed agreement, which probably also will include a system of handling labor disputes, is expected to be accepted by both Houses next week. The conference report on the maritime bill was completed yesterday, ironing out differences between Senate and House bills, and it also is scheduled for quick approval. It provides for voluntary mediation of labor disputes, in place of the stricter requirements proposed by the U. S. Maritime Commission, and forbids construction of U. 8. ships abroad, also contrary to the Maritime Commission's recommendation. Other Commission proposals, including establishment of a Federal training school for seamen, are retained. Under the tentative agreement on the aviation bill, commercial and private flying will be governed by a five-man “Civil Aeronautics Authority,” with a one-man executive director, plus a three-man Bureau of Safety to investigate accidents and promote safety. The five Authority members will be removable by the President only for specified causes, but the director may be dismissed at will, Leaders of the aviation industry are reported unanimously in favor of the measure, which they believe will encourage public patronage of air lines, The Postoffice Department will retain power of approval over airmail routes and schedules. The Authority will have complete power over air-line rates, similar to that of the ICC as to railroads.

President’s Group to Study British Labor Law

WASHINGTON, June 3 (U. P.) — President Roosevelt said today a group of seven or eight Americans would conduct a study of British labor legislation this summer. He declared the inquiry had no relatiton to possible amendments to the Wagner Labor Relations Act. The President said that the group had not been selected vet and would not comment on published reports that it included Gerard Swope, General Electric Board chairman, or Dean Lloyd Garrison of the University of Wisconsin Law School. He said employers, labor leaders and the Government would be represented on the investigating committee. He was asked if his statement that the inguiry had no connection with possible amendment of the Wagner act meant that he was opposed to amendments to the labor relations statute at any time. Mr. Roosevelt replied that the whole subject of labor relations is an evolutionary one and commented that the United States is a long way behind Great Britain in the process of evolution. Lewis Opposes Change Coincident with the President's statement John L. Lewis, Committee for Industrial Organization chairman, made public a letter to Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins declaring flat opposition to any such study which might be made the basis for any change in the labor relations act. The President said the study was his own idea and was intended to supply the American people with accurate information about the British method of handling labor disputes. He said he regretted appearance of newspaper stories about the survey today because they were essentially cockeyed in linking the survey with possible changes of the Wagner act. Senator Wagner (D. N. YY), author of the labor act, said he had not been consulted on the President's proposal and had no comment to make at this time.

G. 0. P. HEAD NAMED

Reed to direct an audit of New Deal policies, results of which will be used as one basis for formulating a platform for the 1940 Presidential election.

YOUTH ADMITS MURDER OF FIVE

Negro Confesses Series of Assaults, Slaying Four Women, Girl.

CHICAGO, June 3 (U, P.).— Robert Nixon, 18-year-old Negro, sat at a desk in police headquarters today and calmly dictated a confession of his crimes, which included slayings of four women and a girl in Chicago and Los Angeles during the past two years. He corroborated his statements by sketching floor plans of his victims’ homes. His victims were Mrs. Florence Thompson Castle, attacked and slain in her Chicago hotel, June 28, 1936; Anna Kutcha, 18-year-old student nurse, attacked and slain at the Chicago Hospital, Aug. 21, 1937; Mrs. Edna Worden and her 12-vear-old daughter, Marguerite, stripped and slain in their Los Angeles home, Aug. 14, 1937, and Mrs, Florence Johnson, 35, mother of two children, bludgeoned in bed May 27, 1938. Each was battered with a brick.

Sketches Crime Layout

Nixon drew sketches of two Chicago hotel rooms where he had assaulted women. “Those sketches are as good as an architect's,” Walter Storms, detective, said. “He told me he had attended a Y. M. C. A. art school here.” When he had completed a state-

ment he was taken to his cell. He was asleep an hour later. He will be questioned further today. Police said he first was identified with the Worden crime because of its similiarity to the Chicago slayings and by fingerprints found on a milk bottle outside the Worden apartment. Brought into police headquarters, he said: “Chief, I've dt something to tell you. I killed that nurse.” Police said he has admitted 18 assaults since he was seized Friday. Earl Hicks, 19-year-old Negro, of Greenville, Miss.,, has confessed he was with Nixon when Mrs. Johnson was slain, He was arrested at his home after Nixon had named him as an accomplice. Nixon came to Chicago from Tallulah in 1933. He fled to Los Angeles a year ago after the Castle slaying. He worked in a CCC camp there, he said, carrying on his marauding raids from the camp.

ARTHUR ILES LOSES STATE COURT PLEA

The Indiana Supreme Court this afternoon refused *to issue writs of mandate and prohibition requested last month by Arthur Iles who was sentenced Jan. 6, 1936, to 60 days on the state Farm on a charge of issuing a fraudulent check. Iles appealed his Municipal Court sentence to the Criminal Court where Judge Frank P. Baker took the case under advisement. On May 20 Judge Baker dismissed the appeal. Iles requested a writ to mandate Judge Baker to correct alleged errors in the Criminal Court record and a writ to prohibit Judge John McNelis from executing sentence.
