most of our ability so to marshal the forces still in favor of peace and willing to resist aggression so that our efforts may be successful,” Mr. Chamberlain declared. He said that no “preconceived ideological notions” would be permitted to inter- ' fere with negotiations for Soviet support. “We must stiffen our resolution, not only to defend ourselves, but to play our part in siding with those (resisting) the threatened loss of their freedom.”
Criticizes Albanian Seizure
The action in regard to Rumania and Greece came after the Bucharest Government had warned Britain in a strong message that she would be forced to swing closer to the Nazis unless given assurances of British aid. Greece, too, had appealed to London to know whether she could expect aid in event of attack and had negotiated for British and French naval co-operation in Greek bases. Mr. Chamberlain strongly criticized the Italian occupation of Albania, asserting that there was “doubt and suspicion” in regard to Fascist explanations of their reason
for violating the 1938 British-French friendship treaty by disturbing the
Mediterranean status quo.
In making his historic pledge to
Greece and Rumania, Mr. Chamberlain said:
«The Government will lend Greece and Rumania, if their independence is threatened, all the support in
their (the Government's) power.” Points to Violation
Implyving that Italy had clearly violated the British-Italian agree-|
ment, Mr. Chamberlain said:
«It is difficult to reconcile what happened with the preservation of contemplated in the Anglo-Italian agree-
national sovereignty as
ment.”
Britain, however, Mr. Chamberlain announced, would not denounce the|
agreement, although Lord Perth
British Ambassador to Rome, had asked Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign Minister, for an explanation regarding Italy and Albania ahd unsatis-

be less jarring on European ears than some of the sounds now being

Edward Noble Is Appointed
Aid, Reviving Prospects Of Business Aid.
WASHINGTON, April 13 (U. P).
—Appointment of Edward J. Noble to be a dollar-a-year executive assistant to Commerce Secretary Hopkins revived today lagging prospects for a rapprochement between business and Government. Mr. Hopkins is the second Cabinet officer to appoint an industrial or business leader to be his chief aid. John W. Hanes, former Wall Street broker, is Treasury Undersecretary. Secretary Hopkins and Treasury Secretary Morgenthau, have been the Cabinet leaders of a business | appeasement campaign.
Noble Resigns’ CAA Post
Mr. Noble, a Republican, resigned as Civil Aeronautics Authority chairman to work with Mr. Hopkins, If Congress approves Mr. Hopkins’ recommendation to create a post of Commerce Undersecretary, Mr. Noble will be appointed. Mr. Noble said today that he thought the key to recovery was to increase business volume. He said it was essential for business to realize that the Government is willing to co-operate with it. Additional business and industrial heads were expected to be named shortly to key Administration posts by Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Morgenthau. Mr. Hopkins plans to surround himself with businessmen. He already has induced Gen. Robert E. Wood, Sears-Roebuck & Co. board chairman, to serve as an advisory aid for four months. He selected willard L.

Files were rifled on one occasion—not the main file— and desks searched, he said. On another occasion a door was jimmied and on Sunday night, April 2, all the windows in one office were broken. Mr. Stripling said it appeared to him to be the work of “snoopers.” He said the committee could not discover that anything of consequence had been taken.

Big League Connections
President I.eo Miller has stocked the Indians with players received from the Cincinnati chain through a working agreement arranged last winter. The Blues are members of the New York Yankee chain and are owned lock, stock and barrel by the world champions. The customary opening day pregame ceremonies were to precede the action on the field, such as presentation of flowers and other tokens of tribute, a flag raising and a be-fore-the-game concert by the Knothole Gang band. Governor Townsend and Mayor Sullivan will form the honorary battery and fumble with the first ball before Rizzuto steps to the plate to lead off for Kansas City. Kansas City, American Association and Little World Series winners last year, is in quest of its fourth pennant, Indianapolis its fifth. The Indians last won the flag in 1928, the Blues in 1929.

F.0.R'SLETTER SLAPS BARKLEY
‘Dear Alben,” Ever Loyal, Rebuked for Going Out Once on His Own.
By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, April 13— Heavy—and rosy red at times— hang the head that wears the crown of President Roosevelt's leadership in the Senate. Senator Barkley (D. Ky.), striking out once more on his own, using his own judgment as a practical legislator, decided it was impossible to get the Senate to boost the emergency relief appropriation from 100 million dollars to 150 million, as desired by the President. So he entered an agreement to stand by the smaller figure approved by the House and the Senate Appropriations Committee. But his first show of independence brought a rebuke from Mr. Roosevelt, despite the fact that the Senator has hewed to the New Deal line constantly.
Letter Sent to Pepper
He had to sit at his place in the Senate and listen to the reading of a letter from the President which inferentially was aimed at him. The letter was sent to a comparative newcomer, the indefatigable Senator Pepper (D. Fla), who took it upon himself to fight for the President. Plainly, Mr. Roosevelt wrote, he stood by his demand for 150 million. Imagine Senator Barkley's embarrassment. He tried to grin while it was read, but it was the uncomfortable grin of the model pupil to whom the teacher has said: “I'm terribly disappeinted in you.” His face was red. There was a time when Senator Barkley was getting letters from the President. One, in particular, was noteworthy. It started out “Dear Alben,” and its result was that the Kentuckian won the fioor leadership by one vote over Senator Harrison (D. Miss.). There was one saving grace about that letter to Senator Pepper. At least it was not addressed “Dear Claude.” Mr. Barkley has been faithful. He has played the New Deal game —until this relief fight.
What Does He Get?
Now what does he get? His side won—but it was the side which he has not traveled hereto-
fore. Political realists find it hard to understand why a President, in effect, takes a poke at a leader who has been so faithful. They say the Senate Democratic split is bad enough without striking at Senator Barkley, who has been carrying a heavy load. The President, they argue, could have let the issue rest. He had spoken out twice and everybody knew how he stood. Senator Barkley, in a statement to the Senate of his position following the Roosevelt letter, said he had entered the agreement in order to hold the 100 million dollars ine tact, since otherwise the Senate might have reduced that. Senator Barkley pointed out that relief appropriaticus for the current fiscal year, which will total $2,163 000,000, are the largest on record. This is true despite the fact that unemployment insurance, which was supposed to cut down the Federal outlay for WPA and direct relief went into effect Jan. 1, 1038. :
4 IN TEXAS FAMILY ARE SLAIN IN HOME
AMARILLO, Texas, April 13 (U. P.) —Harold Fowler, 34, his wife, and their two sons were found shot I Qaain in their home.

The long and bitterly debated question of whether wives should work has been settled by two Indie ana utilities—with the wives on the losing side. Effective July 1, all married women employees of the Northern Indiana Power Co. and the Public Service Company of Indiana, both having headquarters here, must resign or be dismissed. Officials of the two allied utilities explained that for several years they have had rules against employing married women, but that the

conflict “are merely war propaganda.” Mr. Oastle expressed strong disapproval of plans to amend the neutrality act to give President Roosevelt broader authority. “I consider it extremely unwise,” he said, especially to give the President authority to make decisions beyond those normally given him under the Constitution and expected of a chief of state under international practices.” He challenged suggestions that United States’ participation in European war is inevitable and said no question of democracy would be involved. “It will rather be an attack by the have-not nations on the nations which have something the others want,” he said.
Clubwoman Disagrees
Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, sharply differing testimony was given by Mrs. Louise Leonard Wright, represent-
ing important women’s organizations. She asked for a flexible neutrality policy and supported the measure of Senator Thomas (D. Utah) which would allow the President to discriminate in applying neutrality provisions in favor of victims of aggression. Mrs. Wright represented the American Association of University Women, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the National Board of Young Women's Christian Association, the National Council of Jewish Women, the National League of Women Voters and the National Women's Trade Union League. 8. It was reliably asserted that the Navy plans to make its two new 45,000-ton battleships speedier than the fastest battleship or cruiser now afloat.
10-80 Per Cent Levy Asked
It was learned that earlier plans for arming the ships with 18-inch guns—two inches larger than those on existing 35,000-ton warships— had been abandoned and that potential additional power would be sacrificed for a speed of more than 35 kyots. Senator Connally’s war profits bill was drafted with the aid of Government tax experts. It would lower personal exemptions to $800 for single, and to $1600 for married persons, and increase the tax rate to 10 per cent. A surtax would be imposed beginning with 6 per cent on the first $1000 above the exemption and reaching a maximum of 80 per cent. Corpora= tions taxes on undistributed profits would range from 30 to 77 per cent.
Welles and Colby Disagree
Speaking at Founder's Day exercises at the University of Virginia —the 196th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Jefferson—Mr. Welles declared: “These United State . . . have become the greatest material force in the modern world. ‘They should likewise be, I like to think, the greatest moral force.” He urged the United States to make it possible for peace-loving nations to buy here the materials needed to prevent conquest. The Administration’s foreign policy was sharply criticized last night by Bainbridge Colby, Secretary of State in the Wilson Administration, who said, “the country views with deep disapproval every idle challenge that has been spoken, every word that has been said with the obvious purpose to irritate or affront, no matter whom.”
Borah Advises Students
Senator Borah expressed his views in a letter to editors of the St. Olaf College student newspaper at Northfield, Minn., who had asked the advice of the veteran isolationist and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee because of “the growing war menace.” Senator Borah said the issue in any war would not involve the question of democracy or totalitarianism. He contended that the European nations were all alike in their dealings in international affairs, “It was the democracies of Europe which wrote the secret treaties by which all the spoils were divided even before the (World) War was closed,” Senator Borah said. “It was the democracies of Europe which wrote the Versailles Treaty, not a peace treaty, but a spoils treaty. It was the democracies which for 20-odd years refused to make any changes in the Versailles Treaty looking toward peace. “These European powers, whatever may be their idea of ideology or political views, pursue one and the same course when they come to deal with international affairs. They all alike violate treaties, disregard the most fundamental principles of right, pursue methods which inevitably lead to war, and then call upon the United States, Canada and other nations to save them from their own intolerable and vicious methods.” All of this nation abhors the doctrines of naziism and communism, Borah said, but American youth should deal with them when they become a menace in this coun-
try and not abroad.

It was estimated that the order will affect 40 or 50 women here and in the companies’ agencies throughout the state, thus providing an equal number of jobs for men and single women. Company officials said enforcement of the order was based on the unemployment situation, with the assumption that all working wives have other wage earners in their families.

WPA WILL DROP
400,000 DURING MAY AND JUNE
Cuts Probably to Be Made At 200,000 Per Month; Still Tentative.
WASHINGTON, April 13 (U. PJ). —~WPA officials * said today they would remove 400,000 persons from Federal relief rolls during May and June because of Congress’ reduction of 50 million dollars in the emer~ gency relief appropriation. - Officials said the new reduction plan, still in tentative stages, is in line with President Roosevelt's ree peated warnings to Congress that 400,000 more persons would have to be removed from relief rolls by June 30 if only 100 million dollars were voted. The cuts probably will be made on the basis of 200,000 each month. Late in March Administrator PF. C. Harrington ordered 200,000 persons removed from WPA as of April 8, bringing the total rolls down to 2,800,000. The new cuts will lower WPA enrollment to 2,400,000 by the end of the fiscal year.

SHORTAGE OF COAL
NEW YORK, April 13 (U. P.).— Mayor La Guardia told wage-hour negotiators of the Appalachian bi« tuminous area today that New York had only enough soft coal on hand to operate its Rapid Transit System for three more weeks and its utilities for six weeks. He said if the situation became extremely acute “we might pool all our requirements, lease a mine and enter into contract with the mine workers to operate it.” He said “we might even buy a mine if necessary,” adding that he felt certain the mine workers would egree to run it, He asked the negotiators, who represent 338,000 currently idle miners and nearly 2000 operators, for their “consideration” of the impending coal shortage. Afterward he said that “both sides promised to give the matter their consideration.” “Personally,” the Mayor said, “I don't think they're very far epart, but I may not know all about the situation.” Mines in the Appalachian area have been closed since April 1 be. cause of the inability of the wage=~ hour negotiators to agree on a new

This year’s show has gone beyond the usual model home and garden to provide also a model shopping center. Designers of the business center have attempted to show that shops may combine utility.and beauty.
Cites Forward Step
Describing the model home, Frederick W. Wallick, the architect, said, “We have taken quite a long step forward this year. “Last year visitors saw a model home patterned after the Williamsburg plan popular in colonial Virginia. This year, visitors will see a home of° today—a low, rambling ranch-house type now very popular in the West.” The design was selected, he said, as one which would most nearly typify the Indiana homes of other days. Forest B. Kellog is the builder. Color scheme of the wall and ceiling drapes of the exhibition hall will be pale Dutch-blue, cream and red. Designer of the shopping center was Leslie Ayres and the gardens surrounding the model home were laid out by Schuyler Nolan, landscape architect. Ten gardens were Spiofisored by nine local garden clubs.
SENATE'S REPORT ON VANNUYS DUE TODAY
Times Special WASHINGTON, April 13.—Senator King (D. Utah), chairman of the Privileges and Elections Committee which studied the Willis charges against Senator VanNuys (D. Ind) announced as the Senate opened today that the committee report recommending dismissal of the charges is ready and will be presented this afternoon. The report is a lengthy legal document going into all the allega= tions made by Raymond E. Willis, Senator VanNuys' defeated Republican opponent, and saying that they provided insufficient evidence for Senate action. The Republican State Committee joined with Mr. Willis in asking a Senate investigation based on 385 pages of alleged evidence of chicanery in the election of Nov. 8, 1038, at which Senator VanNuys won by 5197 votes. “Investigation is not necessary merely because the allegations are voluminous,” the committee report states. Oriticism of the Two Per Cent Club and WPA were inserted in the report by Senator Austin (R. Vt.), minority member of the Subcommittee, but vastly toned down in the official text today. Senator Burke (D. Neb.) was the third Subcommittee member and their recommendation for dismissai was unanimously accepted by the full committee of which Senator is chairman
