Report Nelson, Sears. Rochuck Official, to Head Textile Group

For r Wage-Hour Administration Chail laux

Wndtews Is Pre Is Prepdring to ‘Enforce. Pay Law ~~ Effective Oct. 24.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (U. PJ). —Donald M. Nelson, Sears-Roebuck vice president, will head the important textile industry committee—first proving grounds for the new Wage-

Hour Law when it goes into effect Oct. 2U—it was learned reliably toy. Wage-Hour Administrator Elmer F. Andrews would not confirm the report of Mr. Nelson's selection to head the important textile committee, but he did admit that he had asked a mail order company official to come to Washington Friday to discuss textile problems with labor and management representatives. The textile industry employs more than 600,000 persons normally and will be one of the Wage-Hour Administration’s first and most exacting problems because it extends throughout sections of both the North and the South. Mr. Nelson, a former NEA official, refused the wage-hour administra-

tor’s job before Mr. Andrews’ selec-

tion. Textiles, tobacco and cotton garment industries will be the first tackled under the new law, designed to put a floor under wages and a

Asks Curb On Nazis

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (U. P). —Homer L. Chaillaux, Indianapolis, Americanism director of the American Legion, today demanded legislation to place activities of both Nazi and Communist organizations

prohibitions. Mr. Challlaux, tes before the House committee investigating un-American activities, urged vigorous action against the Nazi Ger-man-American Bund, and against Communist groups active in this country. “We urge your tcommitteé to take ‘whatever steps may be necessary to make the Bund operations illegal,

| just as we have urged you to make |

Communist operations illegal in this country, so long as either of them teaches, openly or secretly, adherence to programs of violence looking to alteration of our form of Ggvernmen tor so long as either of them tries to foster dictatorships upon the American people,” Mr. Chaillaux

ceiling over hours of millions of said

. American workers. 15 to Serve

The textile committee, covering rayon, silk and cotton weaving, will have 15 members, Mr. Andrews said, including five representatives each of the public, employers and labor. The committees will meet in Washington, survey wage conditions in the industry, hold hearings and make their recommendations to Mr. Andrews, who may accept or reject them. If he rejects them, he may . appoint a new committee to make another study. His first job—and one of his most difficult—will he determining which industries affect interstate comsmerce and are subject to the act, which provides for an initial minimum wage of 25 cents an hour and a maximum work week of 44 hours. It was indicated that this determination generally will follow court precedents established in National Labor Relations Board cases since the Supreme Court broadened its interpretation of the Constitution's iriterstate commerce clause.

Affects Four Million Workers

Mr. Andrews estimated the new law would affect 4,000,000 workers. Hoping to avoid the confusion that marked the early days of NRA, when attempts were being made to draw up codes for almost all major industries, Mr. Andrews said he would try to limit his activities to but three industries at the same time. First to be tackled will be textiles, tobacco and cotton garments. He already has begun to study potential personnel for industry committees for these three businesses, and he hopes to name the textile committee “within a week.” The industry committees, composed of an equal number of public, labor and employer representatives, can recommend to the administrator higher wage minima than the initial minimum. They have no effect on the hour provisions of the law. He estimated that nearly 1000 employees would be required to administer the wage-hour law and planned conferences at once with the Civil Service Commission concerning personnel. The act provides that all employees must come from Civil Service rolls.

Says Public Fuuds Used

Mr. Chaillaux was asked by Rep. Noah M. Mason (R. Ill) if the Workers’ Alliance is a Communist organiaztion or is being used by Communists to further their objectives. “It is controlled by the Communist Party,” he replied. He added, however, that the great majority of the 800,000 members of the Alliance did not know this. “In other words,” said Chairman Martin Dies (D. Tex), “public funds are being used to further communism in the United States?” Mr. Chaillaux said this was true, adding that the Workers’ Alliance represents itself as the collective bargaining agency for WPA workers. He said David Lasser, head of the Alliance, assured him that he is not a Communist. Mr. Chaillaux asserted, however, that Mr. Lasser recently returned from a trip to the Soviet Union highly praising that country. Mr .Chaillaux said Communists were “playing WPA to the limit.”

Eight U. S. Aids Named

Rep. Mason today accused eight Federal officials of connection with the Communist aPrty popular front through membership in the American League for Peace and Democracy. The league is dominated by Communists, and members of the organization, he said, include: Oscar Chapman, Assistant Secretary of Interior; John Carmody, administrator of the Rural Electrification Administration; Harry Lambertson, assistant REA administrator, and Fred Silcox, chief of the Forestry Service. In addition, he named Robert Marshall, chief of the Forestry Service’s Public Lands Division; Mary Anderson of the Labor Department’s Women’s Bureau, and Alice Barrows of the Office of Education as other members of the League's Washington unit.

William Preston

Denies Charge

Charge that the Workers’ Alliance of Indians is dominated by Communists was denied today in a statement issued by William Preston, vice-President of the Indiana alliance. The charge was made yesterday at Washington by John P. Frey, American Federation, of Labor spokesman, in testimony before the Dies committee * investigating unAmerican activities. “Mr. John P. Frey's ‘discovery’ that the Workers Alliance of Indiana is dominated by Communists is a falsification of the facts,” Mr. Preston stated. “Accordirg to yesterday's press, he } stated that Mr. Merrill Jackson ‘head’ of the Workers’ Alliance in this State, is a Communist. Mr. Jackson has been out of Indiana for two years and has no connection

with the Alliance.”

Wyoming Governor Takes Big Primary Lead; Hague Due for Blow.

NATIONAL POLITICS

ROOSEVELT heads for Canada and Hyde Park. "HAGUE blow due in Federal Judge choice. WYOMING Governor holds big primary lead. Hamilton sees third, term as goal.

(Editorial, Page 12)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (U. PJ). President Roosevelt left for Canada today after projecting the ‘threat of a party purge to primaries in every state where Congressional candidates for renomination have “betrayed” the New Deal. The President is bound for Kingston, Ontario, where he will receive an honorary di from Queens College tomorrow. Before returning to his home at Hyde Park, he and Canadian Prime Minister McKenzie King will dedicate a new international bridge in ‘the’ Thousand Islands. He probably will not return to Washington until early next month. Mr. Roosevelt leaves with his policy on primary contests well de‘fined. At his press conference yesterday afternoon he broadened his purge of conservative Democratic Congressmen by denouncing Senator Tydings (D. Md.) and Rep. John J. O'Connor (D. N. Y.) and by leaving the implication that more names would be added to the list of those who have “betrayed the New Deal in the past and will again.” The attack on these anti-New Dealers, anticipated for several aays, was the most bitter he has made—even more outspoken than his plea to Georgia voters last week for the defeat of Senator George (D. Ga.). Like Senator George, Rep. O’ nor, described by the President as “one of the most effective obstructionists in the lower House,” struck back. Accepting the challenge in a brief formal statement, he said that the voters of.the New York's 16th Congressional District “alone will decide” whom to elect. He added, pointedly: “The' President lives in the 26th District. Ham (Hamilton) Fish (R. N. Y.) is his congressman. Mr. Roosevelt used an editorial from the New York Evening Post tas the vehicle for stating his position on primary campaigns and after reading it to reporters told them that they could attribute it to him. To this Rep. O'Connor, who is to answer the attacks by radio tomorrow night, said: “The President saw fit to quote from an editorial from & newspaper long since recognized as communis-

| tic and said, ‘you can interpret that

as coming from me’ Senator Tydings, termed a “betrayer” of his party, had nothing to say immediately. He was en route from Hagerstown, in western Maryland, to the Eastern .Shore where he will speak at Salisbury tomorrow. It was believed that he might answer the White House action then. With his denunciation of Rep. O'Connor and Senator Tydings, the President threw his support behind their chief opponents, James H. Fay of New York and Rep. David J. Lewis (D. Md.) hop he described Monday night in a radio address as “one of the American pioneers in the cause of social security.”

OTTAWA, On ‘Aug. 17 (U. P). —Prime Minister MacKenzie King said today that he would have “considerable” to discuss with President Roosevelt when they meet

Thursday at Kingston. It was understood that the subjects would be the . Canadian - American trade

Term as Aim of ‘Purge’

BOSTON, Aug. 17 (U, P.) —President Roosevelt’s intervention in Senatorial primaries is part of the movement to nominate him for a third term, Chairman John D. M. Hamilton of the Republican National Committee declared today.

EASTMAN, Ga, A Aug. 17 (U. P). —Senator George (D. Ga.) charged

“| Judgeship Choice

Mal Be Blow to Hague

Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. 17—An Administration rebuff for Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City was forecast in informed quarters today, in connection with a pending appointment to a Federal judgeship in New Jersey. A fierce underground battle over this. post has been in progress ever since young U. S. District Judge William Clark was elevated a few weeks ago to the U. 8. Circuit Court. Senator Milton, Hague henchman, has asked President Roosevelt to give the judgeship to 39-year-old Thomas Glynn Walker of Kearny, former Hague leader in the Jersey Legislature and now a judge on the State Court of Errors and Appeals. Senator Smathers, who was elected to the Senate with Hague support but who has been far from a Hague rubber stamp, put forward the name of W. Orville Shalick, an assistant U. S. Attorney in New Jersey. He did this without consulting either Senator Milton or Mayor Hague.

Wyoming Governor Takes Primary Lead

CHEYENNE, Wpyo., Aug. 17 (U. P.).—Governor A. Miller, seeking renomination as a Democrat, held a long lead today over his only opponent in yesterday's primary election. Gus Engelking, making his first political race, fell so far behind that he was conceded little chance of overhauling Governor Miller. Although he had no opposition in the primary Rep. Paul R. Greever, Democrat, polled a sizable vote. Jryoming has but one representave. ; Frank Horton, personal friend of former President Herbert Hoover, led Alonzo Clark, self-styled “lib=-

sional race. In the Republican gubernatorial primary Nels Smith, Janeher, held the lead in first re- . He was Spposed by Thomas John F. Raper, Sam S. Hoover and Dr. J. H Holland.

Catching HighClass Dogs Runs

Costs Upward

Theo Dammeyer, Safety Board president and reorganizer of the technique of running the City Dog Pound, asked City Council for about $800 more for next year’s Pound budget. “We're catching a better class of dogs,” he said persuasively, and added that in order to catch more of the “better class” of dogs he wanted to hire two more high-class dog catchers. He pointed out that the Pound is on such an efficient basis of operation now that “even Chicago officials were down looking it over the other day.” Mr. Dammeyer explained that the dogs now were of better class than formerly because it costs $4 to bail one out once it is caught, whereas, before FeorEanization; | the Goss “were given away.”
