FORD INTERVIEW MADE BASIS FOR

LABOR CHARGES

Firm Expected to Challenge Action as Violation of Freedom of Speech.

By HERBERT LITTLE

Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, July 8 —Henry Ford's newspaper interviews today were made the basis of charges before the National Labor Relations Board that the Ford Motor Co. has violated the Wagner Labor Act. It was believed to be the first time a formal NLRB report had alleged that newspaper dispatches were used to interfere with, restrain and coerce workers in self-organizing and collective bargaining. The allegation was made in a trial examiner's report to the NLRB by Examiner Tilford E. Dudley. The report, which also was served on the Ford Motor Co., contains nearly 100 pages describing the situation at the St. Louis Ford plant. This situation involves a strike and some violence.

Ford Challenge Expected The company is expected to challenge the citation of the Henry Ford interviews, as a violation of freedom of press and of speech, when the board hears arguments on the report, probably this month. The board's final decision will be made following this argument. Mr. Dudley's findings as to the effect of an interview given by Mr. Ford at his Georgia winter rome, in April, 1937, follows: “The newspaper statements at{ributed to Henry Ford go far beyond the expression of opinion. They constitute an expression of intent to violate the law regardless of consequences. By refraining from retracting or modifying these statements distributed through the press to (the company’s) employees, respondent (the company) in effect adopted them and thus interfered with, restrained, and coerced its employees in the exercise of the rights

guaranteed in Section 7 of the act.” The interview as quoted by Mr. Dudley was published in a St. Louis newspaper, under a headline: “Ford | Warns Sitdown Strikers. Says He Will Never Recognize Unions—Strike Here Settled.” Mr. Ford was quoted as saying:

enabling the State to reimburse

JONES DEFENSE OPENS AS STATE RESTS ITS CASE

Judge Overrules Motion for Directed Verdict of Acquittal.

Times Special DANVILLE, July 8—The State rested its case against Mrs. Etta Jones, charged with the slaying nearly a year ago of 12-year-old Helen Schuler, at 10:45 a. m. today after placing 38 witnesses on the stand. Miss Bess Robbins, defense attorney, asked for a direct verdict of acquittal. The motion was overruled by Special Judge Edgar A. Rice. This is the second trial of Mrs. Jones. The first ended in a deadlock. Mrs. Clara Schuler, Tell City, mother of the murdered child, the last witness, tearfully told the jury that it was exactly one year ago today that her first husband, Walter Schuler, brought the child from her home in Tell City to Beech Grove. The child was slain July 14. Roderick Rea, Indianapolis Police Department scientific investigator, testified that bullets taken from the body of the dead child came from the small automatic introduced into evidence and traced by the State to the scene of the crime. The trial recessed until early this afternoon when the defense was to begin placing character witnesses on the stand in behalf of Mrs. Jones.

RAIL EXTENSION ORDERED WASHINGTON, July 8 (U. P.).— The Interstate Commerce Commission today authorized the Cleveland, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Co, (Big Four) to construct an extension of its present lines 12 miles

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES Inattentive Parents Termed

One Cause ot Crimes by Youth

If children “paid less attention to some popular radio programs” and received more of their parents’ time, juvenile crime in Indianapolis would

be cut immeasurably,

Sergt. Charles E. Weddle, Police Crime Prevention

Burau head, today told the Exchange Club at the Hotel Washington.

Sergt. Weddle listed the following®

as some of the major causes of crime among youths: 1. Some popular radio programs. 2. Lack of parental attention. 3. Idleness caused by the depression. “The juvenile problem is a real problem ,and it is increasing all the time,” Sergt. Weddle warned. “We often have parents come to the bureau and say they give their chiludren enough money to go to three or four shows a week. They think then they've done their duty.” Sergt. Weddle said he thought one show a week was enough for a school child. “Too many parents let their children choose their own recreation,” he said. : He said he believed the Crime Prevention Bureau was accomplish-

ing its purpose and pointed out that | of the 428 cases the bureau has han- | dled since its establishment March | 22, only 90 have been sent to the |

Marion County Juvenile Detention Home.

WASHINGTON, July 8 (U. P.).— The Interstate Commerce Commission today reported railway employment during June increased slightly but not enough to raise the ICC's adjusted index from the lowest point in the last 18 years.

ISTRICTER PLANE LAW ENFORCEMENT ASKED

FT. WAYNE, July 8 (U, P.).— Stricter enforcement of Indiana's aviation laws was predicted here today. Sheriff Herman C.

Moulton of the Bureau of Air Commerce at Indianapolis relative to operation of airplanes by unlicensed pilots. John Kraft, 17, and William

Koenemann, 16, both of Hoagland, were Killed in an airplane crash near Hoagland, June 18. After the crash it was discovered that Pilot Ralph F. Davis, 23, Ft. Wayne, had neither a license to fly the plane nor carry passengers.
