"Compromise on "Wage-Hour Measure Reported Effected; Railroad Aid Bills Pushed

Agreement Likely to End Threat of Filibuster In Senate.

(Editorial, Page 10)

WASHINGTON, June 8 (U. P.) — Conferees on the Wage-Hour Bill today agreed on & compromise wage provision for the measure, setting one of the chiet points of dispute which had aroused threats of possible Senate {filibuster against the bill. Whether the threat of filibuster had been entirely removed by the compromise was not immediately certain, The compromise wage provision provides. 1. Establish a 25 cents per hour minimum wage for the first year and increase the rate to 30 cents per hour in the second year. 2. Establish industries boards and an administrator tc fix wages between 30 cents and a goal of 40 cents during the next five years. 3. Provide for flat 40-cent minimum after seven years, unless an industry could show that such a rate will “substantially curtail employment opportunities.” Conferees felt that agreement upon the disputed wage provision would expedite final decision. Senator Ellender (D. La.), voted against the compromise, complaining it had violated promises to Southerners that a statutory time limit in which industries must reach 40 cents would not be fixed.

national recognition at the ballotbox. Progressive politicians suggested that the defeat of Rep. Otha Wearin, the New Deal Democrat who sought to unseat Senator Gillette, has opened the way for an “N. P. A.” candidate, possibly Rep. Wearin himself, in & field already cultivated by Gov. La Follette of Wiseconsin, founder of the new party. Governor La Follette spoke in Towa immediately after. launching his new party, and made an alliance with the small-Farmer-Labor Party of the state. This party, although it polled only 31,000 votes in 1936, has a place on the November ballot with the N. P. A. could take over if it chose. The Farmer-Labor Party will pick its candidates in & convention soon. The N. P. A. decision will hinge upon whether the La Follettes believe Towa and 1938 are a favorable time and place for an initial test. Senator Robert M. La Follette (Prog. Wis.) refused to comment on the possibility. Various political observers pointed out, however, that the Towa situation from this dis-

WASHINGTON, June 8 (U. PJ. —Congressional appropriations for | the fiscal year 1939 probably will total more than $12,000,000,000 a | record since the World war. Even with a normal relief bill,

instead of the pending $3,723,000,000 pump-priming measure, appropriations approved at this session of Congress will exceed the previous peace-time high of $10,560,000,000 in 1837 when the bulk of the soldiers’ bonus was paid. The cause of this year's record appropriations is found in a vastly expanded naval and national defense program, and continued high relief costs. Awaiting final congressional action is the recovery measure, carry=ing $2917905,000 in direct appropriations, compared with the $1,500,000,000 relief bill of last spring. Also pending are the $758,572,000 agricultural department appropriation bill and the secod efficiency bill with $274,353,000 in direct appropriations and $8,446,000 in reappropriations, which the House probably will pass today.

G-MEN QUESTION SIX IN KIDNAPING PROBE

‘Break’ Rests on Ransom Bill Discovery.

PRINCETON, Fla, June 8 (U. P.) —G-men today resumed their tireless questioning in connection with the kidnaping of 5-year-old James B. Cash Jr., while President

Roosevelt asked Congress to appropriate $50,000 to continue the search for the child's abductors. At least six men were taken to | the F. B. 1. headquarters at Miami, and several were reported questioned here. Officials refused to say whether any were detained. Justice Department officials in Washington announced that Mr. Roosevelt had asked for the additional appropriation. The major hope for a “break” in the case still depended upon discovery of some of the bills in the $10,000 ransom paid by James B. Cash. Sr.

U. S. Press Joins in Lauding lowa Result

By United Press Editorial comment on the Iowa primary election follows: NEW YORK TIMES—The one

| unmistakable result of Jowa's pri-

mary election is a rebuff for the “elimination committee” which set out to make support of the President’s Supreme Court plan an acid test of fitness for membership in the Senate. NEW YORK HERALD-TRIBUNE . As to the right of a United States Senator to vote according to his conscience without being “purged” out of office by relief moneys. . . . There could not have been a clearer issue . . . so far as the Democrats of Iowa are concerned, no dictator need apply. CHICAGO TRIBUNE—Although . . political pressure was all on the Democratic side, the total Republican vote for its two candidates was largely in excess of the aggregate cast for the five Democrats,

| from which a not unwarranted con-

clusion would be that Iowa may swing back into the Republican list of states. . . . All in all, the New Deal asked for it in Iowa and got it—on the chin. KANSAS CITY STAR-—The result of the Towa primary is a blunt rebuke to New Deal meddling in state affairs. Hereafter the Harry Hopkinses, the James Roosevelts and the other political busybodies will be a little more cautious in presuming to tell the people of any state whom they should select as candidates. KANSAS CITY JOURNAL-POST —The results of ‘the Democratic primary in Iowa provide little grounds for elation either by the Administration or its opponents.

Senator Gillette won the nomina- |

tion after a campaign in which he emphasized his support of the New Dea] on virtually every point. . . . Rep. Wearin . . . has been only slightly more consistent in his Administration support. PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER-— . .. The New Deal made a desperate gesture and lost. The relief money didn't talk so loudly as expected. The spines of the other eight Democratic Senators whom the Administration has marked for

To Transportation Steps Given Urgent Support Of President.

WASHINGTON, June 8 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt is exerting lastminute pressure on Congress for passage of two railroad-aid bills before adjournment, it was learned today. This makes a Saturday adjournment increasingly improbable. Senate Majority Leader Barkley (D. Ky.), was the only leader still hoping for an end of Congress this week. The White House program, it was learned, proposes enactment of two railroad measures: 1. A bill to permit the RFC to make loans to railroads without Interstate Commerce asserting that the roads are solvent. 2. A bankruptcy bill permitting railroads to carry reorganization plans directly to the Circuit Courts of Appeal. The program is backed, according to reports in Congress, by RFC Chairman Jesse H. Jones and railroad managements.

Other Bils Pending

Other controversional bills are: 1. Wages and hours, which some conferees believe will take “two or three days” to draft after today's expected agreement in principle is reached. 2. The $3,823,000,000 Recovery Bill, with House conferees objecting to a Senate amendment appropriating $212,000.000 for farm parity price payments. 3. The Walsh-Healy Bill, passed by the Senate yesterday, requiring bidders on Government contracts amounting to $2000 or more to pay prevailing wages and observe the 40hour week. It also applies the Walsh-Healy Act, which at present

000 or more, to subcontractors. 4. Senator O'Mahoney’s resolution for a $500,000 joint legislative-exec-utive investigation of monopoly, due to be called up in the Senate today. 5. House-approved rivers and harbors and flood control bills, also scheduled for Senate action today.

the slaughter need no stiffening. But their supporters should be heartened by the rebuke which Towa has handed to the New Deal movement for revenge and reprisals. CINCINNATI ENQUIRER-TIt demonstrates two things—that Administration pressure is not the decisive factor in elections today, and that the voters are looking for legislators with minds of their own. CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER— The result, following so closely on the heels of the reverse in Pennsylvania, should teach a wholesome lesson to any man in office who tries to overreach himself and to build up his own power at the expense of other branches of government. NEW YORK SUN-If election returns from Kentucky and Iowa are not misleading, the most promising coalition that the Republican Party can look forward to this fall is a coalition of habitual Republican voters and voters of independent stripe. PHILADELPHIA RECORD = Newspaper readers all over the nation have been informed that the New Deal suffered a setback in Towa. It did .. . Gillette's victory had been expected for several weeks. That's why the conservative press has been playing up the Iowa primary as a test of New Deal strength. . Without trying to minimize the

| Towa setback, we submit that the | | seems

| North Carolina primary is of equal importance. WASHINGTON POST — Legislative independence has been richly rewarded , . . Timorous legislators may take new heart to vote their own convictions. The lure of WPA support will be less attractive. Congress will be more inclined to function as a deliberative, lawmaking body, rather than a rubber stamp for executive edicts of very questionable wisdom.

Vanderbilt Wed in Plain Rite at Home

SANDS POINT, N. Y, June 8 (U. P.).—Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, one of the nation's most eligible bachelors, was married today to Miss Manuela Hudson, member of a prominent California family.

None of the usual pomp of a Vanderbilt wedding attend the simple ceremony in the library of Cedar Knolls, the rambling country home of the bridegroom’s mother, Mrs. Margaret Emerson. Only a few guests were present. Although the romance had been apparent since last winter, almost no one in society had any hint the marriage would take place so soon. The bride, who is 26—the same age as her multimillionaire husband —wore & pink ensemble. She was given away by her brother, W, E. Hudson. Monterey, Cal. Her sister, Mrs. C. W.

ACTION ON PAVING PROJECT DELAYED

Works Board Holds Up 0. K. Of Assessment Roll.

The Works Board today post= poned until Wednesday final approval of the assessment roll in the paving of W. 42d St. between Boulevard Place and Clarendon Road. About 10 property owners protested that their assessments were too high. Board members agreed to investigate. The project was completed May 2 at a cost of $17,445. The Board voted to ask for WPA labor for excavating prior to paving of 62d St. from Carrollton to College Aves. The project is estimated at $4663. The Board also will act on renewal of a contract with the Central Aeronautical Co. for carrying passengers, selling airplanes, doing | mechanical work, selling gas and | oil, and occupying space at Municipal Airport, The contract was presented to the Board today by Richard H. Meyer, company president. A petition is being circulated among South Side Civic Club members asking a trackless trolley line to serve E. Minnesota St. residents | via Shelby St. and Virginia Ave. Charles J. Fritz, Club secretary, told the Works Board. In a letter to the Board, Mr. Fritz said the club opposes the proposal made by persons living in the Minnesota St. area east of Shelby St. that the PennsylvaniaLincoln trolley line be extended east from S. East St. across Minnesota St.

THE UNUSUAL CAFETERIA

TO VISIT PARTY RALLY AT LAKE

Schricker May Announce for Senate at Meeting of Democrats.

Governor Townsend will not attend the Democratic rally at Bass Lake tomorrow at which Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker may announce his candidacy for the Democratic nomination to the U. S. Senate, it was announced today. Aids said the Governor would not attend because “he didn’t want to be placed in the light of being a party dictator.” Some party leaders still declared Mr. Schricker would be the administration’s candidate to succeed Senator VanNuys. Two other candidates, Samuel Jackson, Ft. Wayne attorney, and Alex Gordon, Railroad Brotherhood official, have announced. A delegation of state officials headed by Dick Heller, the Governor’s executive secretary, will attend the Bass Lake meeting. A majority of county and district Democratic committeemen have indicated that Mr. Schricker is first or second choice for the nomination, Administration leaders said. Some concern has been expressed among Democratic leaders over statements made by Mr. Schricker during his recent visit at Washington. He was quoted as saying he did not like the President's “courtpacking” plan which Senator Van Nuys opposed. He also said he had had “a very friendly conference” with Senator VanNuys. The State Administration is opposed to Mr. VanNuys’ renomination. Mr. Jackson for a time was said to have been given Administration support for the nomination, This was withdrawn later, party leaders said.

'VanNuys to Start

For Home Sunday Times Special WASHINGTON, June 8-—Ad-journment or no adjournment, Senator VanNuys announced today that he will leave Washington Sunday night to return to Indianapolis. The senior Senator will stop off en route at Richmond, where he is to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Law at Earlham College on Monday, he said. Senator VanNuys graduated from Earlham in 1898. Mrs. VanNuys and their son, Billy,

will leave for Indianapolis Saturday night and drive to Richmond for

the college graduation ceremonies.

Should Congress remain in session longer than next week, he will return here, Senator VanNuys said. He expects to open his campaign headquarters in a downtown office building in Indianapolis shortly, with Miss Wilma Aber of his secre-

| tarial staff in charge, he said.

the international dangers of the situation. * By thus taking the aggressive, Italy might pave the way for British pressure to stop war materials moving through France to Loyalist Spain or for dispatch of new Italian materials to the Rebels regardless of the Italo-British pact. Thus, with aerial bombardment of Loyalist towns greatly intensified but with the Rebel ground advance slowed to a crawl in the drive toward Valencia, the very fact that a stalemate in fighting existed served to intensify rather than decrease the international dangers of the conflict.

China's Situation Perilous

In China, the Japanese invasion reached a new high. The zone of war was extended to all southern China. Japanese planes bombed Swatow. The systematic devastation of Canton—where 8000 civilian casualties appeared a conservative estimate—by bombing planes continued. The Yellow River, adjacent to the

northern front which the Japanese now dominate, was reported flooding. Half a million Japanese troops were struggling into position for attacks on the Chinese ecapital at Hankow. Banditry was increasing in Central China. Famine threatened millions in the scorched war zones. The grand total of 12 months of war was reckoned at 750,000 dead and 1,650,000 wounded. There were apparently authentic reports that the Chinese cause might receive an even more serious blow than already suffered by loss of the long northern front. Southern Chinese leaders, angered by the lack of defense for Canton, were reported threatening to split the united front, which previously had provided surprisingly effecitve resistance to the Japanese.

LONDON, June 8 (U. P).~Alarmed at the complete failure of its protests to end the persistent bombing of British merchant shipping along the Spanish Loyalist Mediterranean coast, the Govern-

ment was expected to announce today the measures it had decided upon to meet future attacks. Britain's position was regarded as somewhat embarrassing. There seemed to be extreme annoyance, i not actual anger, over the attacks on British ships and the Killing of British sailors. However, the Government, pursuing its new policy, had made a friendship treaty with Italy, based on the belief that the Loyalist cause would collapse when the Rebels
