LABOR LEAGUE RAPS ‘RECORD’ OF LEGISLATORS
Charges Failure to Keep Faith or Promises, Finds | People ‘Perplexed.’
|
A charge that the “Legislature | not only failed to keep faith with| the voters but also failed to live! ‘up to party platforms and promises,” was made today by Labor’s NonPartisan League of Indiana. The organization announced
voting| record of legislators on “measures of social importance.” The League reaffirmed”its support
“of the New Deal program of social
and economic reform” and said “the people lof Indiana will be perplexed and distressed that this Legislature failed to serve their welfare.” In preparation for the 1940 election campaign the League sald “it would compile roll call votes on all measures of social importance, as well as give the details of the faie of the! Wage and Hour Bill, the direct primary, civil rights, merit system land other bills which ‘were doomed! at this session.”
Support on WPA Urged
The League stated it would analyze the lineup of political forces during the session, “with special emphasis upon the activities of those anti-New Deal Democrats who carried the ball for reactionary Republicans on important measures.” A. A. Hartwell, national organizer of Washington, D. C., urged the State League to continue its support of President Roosevelt's request for additional WPA appropriations. He also called for opposition to any amendments toc the Wagner Act and denounced Democrats in Congress who are joining with the Republicans in' opposing President Roosevelt's recovery program.

Soviet Seeks to Strengthen Military Defenses.
WASHINGTON, March 9 (U. P). —The Commerce Department reported today that Soviet Russia is drawing on -the industrial resources of the United States to strengthen its military defenses. However, the Department revealed that the Soviet has reduced exports to the U. S. in order to conserve commodities needed for home consumption or as war reserves. U. S. sales to Russia in 1938 totaled $69,691,000, a 62 per cent increase over 1937. Approximately one-half the Soviet purchases consisted of metal-work-ing machinery for use in Govern-ment-owned foundries and manufacturing plants engaged primarily in war industries. These machinery exports valued at $35,080,000 as compared with $6,954,000 in 1937 included lathes, milling machines, metalgrinding machines, and rolling mills to produce metal sheets and. plates and to forge flat castings. Industrial furnace air ~ compressors, aluminum ingots and plates and aircraft were’ other principal items. “These changes in U. S. exports to the Soviet Union represent an intensification of the industrialization process now under way there, and possibly a strengthening of the Soviet defense industries,” the Department said.
Value of aircraft and parts sold to Soviet Russia in 1938 was $5,171,000 compared with $3,213,000 in 1937,

Moreover, Turkey|has contributed to the formation ofa Middle-Near Eastern Pact, including Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq, the purpose of which is to consolidate the peace of near and middle eastern Asia. “Turkey in recent years has been a close friend of Great Britain and France and, although German successes in Southeastern Europe may alter that situation, the Turks will play their game in world politics with = consummate realism and skill.” Dr. Howard praised Ismet Inonu —the successor to Kamal Ataturk as president—as an able soldier, diplomat and administrator. “It may be expected that he will preside over the destinies of his country with great ability and that, essentially, he will follow in the footsteps of his predecessor,” Dr. Howard said.

Mushrooms Need Mush More Room
The State Conservation Department today informed all mushroom sportsmen that you can’t eat and have your mushrooms. The warning comes at a time, the Department said, when there are getting to be more and more mushroom hunters and fewer and fewer mushrooms for them to hunt. Anticipating that any considerable extension of these divergent trends will result in a lot of hollering on the part _of the hunters, the Depart- . ment advised them not to pick all the mushrooms they find when out hunting. Those left to mature will scatter seed and result in a new crop next year, the De- . partment said.
