Labor Law Change To Guard Employer

Would Allow Pleas for Collective Bargaining Elections.

WASHINGTON, April 11 (U. P). —Senator Wagner (D. N. Y.) today defended the basic principles of the National Labor Relations Act as “eminently fair.” But he said he would support, “with appropriate safeguards,” a change that would give employers “caught between the competition of rival groups” the right to petition for collective bargaining elections. Senator Wagner said he thought the National Labor Relations Board could institute such a change under its rule-making power. “But if not,” he continued, “there should be legislation toward that end, unless these hearings develop compelling reasons, which I do not see, why such a change would impair the objectives of the act.”

Wagner Is First Witness

Senator Wagner, who sponsored the Labor Act in 1935, was the first witness at hearings hy the Senate

Education and Labor Committee

which is considering changes in the act proposed by the A. F. of L. and by various business and industrial groups. Charges by the C. I. O. which opposes any change, that the A. F. of L., the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers had entered a

“conspiracy” against “fair employers,

against labor and against the welfare of the general public” were a prelude to today’s hearings. A. F. of L. President William Green replied that the charges of “collusion” were “untrue and without foundation.”

Senators Views Summarized

Senator Wagner concluded his testimony with the foliowing summary of his viewpoint: “1. The labor act has been an effective instrument for economic peace and industrial justice. “2. A powerful minority is trying to destroy rather than to perfect the act. “3. Amendments proposed by labor groups and labor’s friends deserve most careful consideration. “4. Amendments pretending to make the act ‘fair’ by placing new restraints on labor would resign labor to its earlier status of economic underling. “5. Amendments proposing drastic administrative changes would weaken traditional type of informal tribunal where average man has better chance to be heard. “g. Within a comparatively narrow field, there may be changes which these hearings will reveal to be sound in principle and practical in operation.”

Upholds Objectives

Senator Wagner appealed to all believers of economic democracy to make sure that “whatever may be done to the act is done in furtherance of its noble objectives.” “No one challenges its objectives,” he said. “No responsible party openly advocates its repeal. Any diminution of its effectiveness would be a national evil. Its mutilation would be a national calamity.” Those who charge that the iabor act is “unfair,” he said, are “looking at the act in an intellectual vacuum.”

Hughes, 77 Today, Ready to Resume Work

WASHINGTON, April 11 (U. BP). —Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes quietly observed his TTth birthday today and disclosed he hopes next week to have recuperated sufficiently from the grippe to resume his place on the bench. He planned to attend Saturday's conference of the justices and on Monday to preside when the court ends its recess. “I am happy to say I am gradually resuming my work and hope soon to be fully restored,” Mr. Justice Hughes said.

F.0.R.TOYIELD IN AMLIE FIGHT

May Also Give Up to Foes of Donald W. Smith as NLRB Member.

WASHINGTON, April 11 (U. P). —President Roosevelt was scheduled today to acknowledge his second defeat by the Senate on 1939 New Deal nominations. A third victory for the anti-Administration coalition now is merely a matter of time. Today's sacrifice is former Rep. Thomas R. Amlie, a Wisconsin Progressive, who was nominated for a place on the Interstate Commerce Commission. He has asked Mr. Roosevelt to withdraw his name and the President's request to the Senate was expected to go forward as soon as Mr. Roosevelt has an opportunity to draft his reply to Mr. Amlie’s letter.

Rejection Seemed Certain

The next to go probably will be Donald Wakefield Smith of the National Labor Relations Board, but quietly and by default rather than by Senate vote or letter of withdrawal. Mr. Smith got a recess reappointment. Because of A. F. of I. opposition, however, the President never has sent his nomination to the Senate. Smith still serves and, legally, may continue to do so until this session of Congress adjourns. Before Mr. Amlie, the Senate disposed of Floyd H. Roberts of Virginia, who was named to a Federal judgeship over protests of Senators Glass and Byrd (D. Val), who lined up 50 Democratic Senate votes against him. If Mr. Amlie’s nomination had gone to a vote in the Senate he almost certainly would have been rejected.

Little Consultation Mr. Amlie was named to the Commission in conformity with the letter of the statute which limits the number of commissioners from

any one party. The seat he was to have occupied was held by a Republican. Mr. Roosevelt could not

opposes

nominate a Democrat for the job but neither was he compelled to nominate a Republican. So the nod went to Mr. Amlie. Some of Mr. Roosevelt's unfriendly critics called that strategy a slick trick. Republicans felt they had been reborn as a major party in the November, 1938, elections and that they were entitled to the job. That contributed to Mr. Amlie’s defeat. Probably more compeiling, however, was that Mr. Roosevelt acted without more than casual, if any previous, discussion with interested Senators and then found that his nominee’s qualifications were under hot fire. Mr. Roosevelt is expected now to name some person approved by the

railroad brotherhoods, possibly a man with a rail labor background.

calling WPA Administrator F. C. Harrington as the first wtiness. All of the Committee’s hearings will ke in closed session. Administration leaders and economy bloc Senators, who agreed to the 100 million dollar relief appropriation under a compromise, predicted that the amendment to restore 50 million dollars cut by the House would receive no more than 35 votes. Passage of the bill probably will follow immediately action on the 150 million dollar amendment.

Hutchins to Pass Up SEC Post, He Hints

CHICAGO, April 11 (U. P)— Robert M. Hutchins president of the University of Chicago, indicated today that he would not become chairman of the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission. For several ' weeks his name figured as the probable appointee to the position, vacant since William O. Douglas was appointed 5 the U. S. Supreme Court. “I intend to remain at the university,” he said. “Any statement concerning a governmental post must come from the Government at Washington.”

Marketing Quota on 1939 Wheat Indicated

WASHINGTON, April 11 (U. P.). —An Agriculture Department estimate of a winter wheat crop of 549,219,000 bushels indicated today that a marketing quota may be proclaimed on this year’s crop. Officials said the estimate, an increase of 64 million bushels over previous expectations, would bring total wheat supplies “very close” to the quota level if spring wheat production approximates 200 million bushels.

LINDBERGH APPEARS READY TO TESTIFY

WASHINGTON, April 11 (U. P)). —Rep. Sol Bloom (D. N. Y.), told the House Foreign Affairs Committee today he expects Col. Charles A. Lindbergh to testify before it on neutrality legislation. Rep. Bloom is acting chairman of the committee. On Sunday he wirelessed an invitation to Col Lindbergh, who is en route to the United States on the Aquitania. Mr. Lindbergh replied today that he would “communicate with you directly on arrival” “I take it we will have the honor of having Col. Lindbergh before the committee and arrangements will be made accordingly,” Mr. Bloom said after reading the Colonel's message.

REPORT ON WILLIS PROTEST IS READY

WASHINGTON, April 11-—Final draft of the Privileges and Elections Committee report dismissing the Willis charges against Senator VanNuys (D. Ind.) is ready for filing today, Senator King (D. Utah), subcommittee chairman, announced. The vigorous version of the report, which was drafted by Senator Austin (R. Vt), minority member, and contained much criticism of Hoosier politics, has been toned down, it was learned. According to Senator Burke (D. Neb.), majority member of the subcommittee, there will be some discussion in the report, of the way the November election was conducted in Indiana and also some raps at the 2 Per Cent Club. Senator Minton (D. Ind.), a mem=ber of the Privileges and Election

Committee, is seeking to have the latter stricken out however.

give the Italian Premier time to makes another lightning move against the Balkans. Persistent reports, including those from British

and French intelligence services, have been that Italy envisages a thrust through Greece at Salonika. The Manchester Guardian diplo= matic correspondent also reported that Germany and Italy have agreed on the partitioning of Jugoslavia, with the Nazis to take over the Croatian area and Italy to dom= inate the Dalmatian coast. It was believed that if an agreement with Sig, Mussolini proved im possible, Mr. Chamberlain would announce in the House of Commons Thursday that the Government was prepared to enter full mutual defensive alliances with Greece and Turkey.

Warships Near Adriatic

Further, it was forecast that the Government would denounce the British-Italian friendship agreement which provided for main<

tenance of the status quo in the Mediterranean at the time it was signed—before the Albanian conquest. The British Admiralty refused all information about British fleet movements. But United Press advices established: 1. That British and French wars ships were cruising off the Greek island of Corfu, which is almost within rifle fire of the Albanian coast at the entrance to the Adriatic. 2. That several British warships arrived at Argostoli, on Cephalonia island 90 miles to the south. 3. That several other British war= ships arrived at Astako, on the mainland opposite Cephalonia.

Gibralter Troop Get Helmets

Lord Beaverbrook’s Daily Express reported that warships at Gibraltar had been ordered to stand by ready to sail on four hours’ notice, and that as a precautionary measure trops of the Gibraltar garison had taken up war stations equipped with steel helmets and gas masks. United Press dispatches from Gibraltar said the British guards at the Spanish frontier patroled the border all night in full war kit after heavy reinforcement of the guard on the Spanish side. Previously all British Army leaves in Egypt, opposite Italian Libya, had been canceled and Malta’s antiaircraft defenses had been manned. It appeared that Prime Minister Chamberlain had two days in which to decide his course, before the ~>mergency meeting of the House of Commons, which he sums moned back from its Easter holiday.

Cabinet Session Postponed Mr. Chamberlain postponed Wednesday's Cabinet meeting until Thursday, a few hours before the opening of Parliament, so that he would have as much time as possible to work for some sort of are rangement with Premier Mussolini. It was understood that Mr. Cham-« berlain would report to the Cabinet, and then to the House of Come mons: 1. The nature of the British Italian friendship agreement. 2. The prospects of an early large scale withdrawal of Italian troops from Spain. 3. The nature of guarantees to Greece and Turkey. 4 What new dispositions were necessary in the Mediterranean to meet the situation caused by Italy's occupation of Albania. It appeared that Mr. Chamberlain was again taking his own course in seeking an agreement with Sig. Mussolini at the moment when the British fleet was obvious ly ready for action. He seemed to feel that if it proved impossible to make any arsangement he would have lost nothing, and that if he succeeded in linking up a troop withdrawal from Spain with Adriatic assurances he would have ace complished a great deal. Disturbing reports regarding Spain continued to circulate, prine cipally in Paris—that more Italian troops had arrived; that Sig. Musgolini and Fuehrer Hitler had no intention of withdrawing their troops, and that the Spanish Nae tionalists might even enter some sort of military alliance with the Axis powers.

600 ARE FACING REASSESSMENT

Cunningham Declares 2000 Estimates May Be Hiked In Center Township.

Center Township Assessor James F. Cunningham today ordered reassessment of property in 600 homes and apartments, charging property was listed “too low.” Mr. Cunningham said he antiei-

pated that examination of tax assessments lists which are being received daily would eventually necessitate raising of estimates in more than 2000 cases. The lists were turned in by property owners in scattered sections of the city and the determination that they were low was made after ine vestigation in each case, he declared. ; The neighborhood, occupation, make of automobile, and size of the dwelling were taken into considera tion before ordering reassessment, Mr. Cunningham declared. Today's action was the beginning of the second portion of a drive against tax ‘‘evaders” by the Ase sessor’s office. Last week Mr. Cunningham enlisted a special staff of deputies to pring in tax lists from property owners who were termed ‘chronic evaders.” “We intend to bring in more tax lists with an equitable increase in the assessments where it is shown that intended evasion has occurred,” he said. Already, Mr. Cunningham said, more than 250 in the ‘‘chronic” class, those who have failed to file lists during the past five years, have mailed or brought into the Assesor’s office lists “accompanied by an alibi.”

ELLIOTT CRITICIZES PUMP-PRIMING IDEA

FT. WORTH, Tex, April 11 (U. P.) Elliott Roosevelt said in one of his regular radio commentaries last night that President Roosevelt's recovery pump-priming was “an abortive means fo an end—a hit or miss program without precedent and consequently without thorough planning in advance.” Mr. Roosevelt, the President’s sec ond son, director of the Texas State Radio Network, said “we all agree” that the New Deal and its leader had an “Utopian ideal” in mind in the recovery program but that pump-priming methods and the tax structure erected to foot the bill “are defeating their purpose.” He spoke principally of conditions in the South and of how they had been affected by the President's “vague and distant” suggestions. The South, he said, “cannot be expected to take its place in the economic sun” without specific aid and encouragement from the Adminis tration.

ALBANIAN QUEEN ILL, PARIS HEARS

PARIS, April 11 (U.P)~A dispatch {rom Athens to the newspaper Intransigeant today said that Queen Geraldine of Albania, was seriously ill.

He sent them to a nearby shanty where it was their misfortune— or maybe their good fortune—to bump into Edward Manley, railroad detective. He took them into custody. At the Detention Home they were scrubbed and fed and detained pending arrangements to get them back home.

Mobilization

THE HAGUE, April 11 (U. P.) —The Netherlands Government is preparing plans to insure constant readiness for smooth, rapid mobilization as long as the peace of Europe is in danger, Premier Colijn said today in an Empire-wide radio broadcast,

Explaining the Government's reason for calling up reservists to strengthen frontier garrisons, Premier Colijn said: “Nobody must assume that the government fears a direct attack. We are simply taking precautions in connection with a general latent tension in Europe which might lead to a sudden outbreak of hostilities. “In such a case, Holland must show not only by words but by deeds its firm determination to defend its independence snd maintain its neutrality in all circumstances and all directions. We must be fully prepared to mobilize our entire defense forces.” Strengthening of defenses was started during the week after circulation of reports of German troop movements. Despite reassuring reports from Berlin, the strengthening continued. Reservists received orders to keep in readiness for service at any moment. Fortresses along the frontiers and the coasts were manned. Mines were laid outside chief harbors. Airplanes at military airdromes were

Spanish Nationalist Mediterranean policy. M. Bonnet was believed to seek first-hand information: 1. Why Italian and German troops had not yet left Spain. 2. How far Generalissimo Franco would join in expansionist plans of the Berlin-Rome “axis.” 3. Whether Spain could be considered a likely neutral in event of war. It was understood that the Supreme War Council had prepared concrete plans to send reinforcement, particularly naval, to vital areas of the Mediterranean, and that the Cabinet would pass on them finally at its meeting. M. Bonnet conferred with Jacob Souritz, Russian Ambassador, before the Cabinet meeting. American Ambassador William C.

outlay. It would, however, require legislation to transfer title of loan stocks of cotton and wheat from growers to the Government. The Government has made loans on ap= proximately 100 million bushels of the wheat surplus of 275 million

bushels and 11,300,000 bales of the cotton surplus of 14,500,000 bales. Secretary Hull, Senator Byrnes and others connected with the plan emphatically denied that it would

affect the reciprocal trade treaty

program. Secretary Hull is bitterly opposed to the barter system as employed by Germany and Italy. Congressional support was ane ticipated from practically all groups. War Department officials indorsed it, too. Senator Byrnes’ barter proposal was announced as the following dee velopments in neutrality and nae tional defense took place: 1. The House Foreign Affairs Committee began hearings on proe posed revision or repeal of the Neu= trality Law. It will hear Rep. James Wadsworth (R. N. Y.), whe is opposed to the present law. The Senate Foreign Relations Commit= tee will resume hearings Thursday. 2.
