By THOMAS L. § S

Times Special Wri WASHINGTON, April 22.—What is known in the political lexicon as “shoehorning’ may be necessary to force House action on the Hatch bill, designed to prohibit politics in WPA and otherwise 'circumscribe political activity by officeholders. For a very definite, though undercover, hostility toward the measure is reported among influential House Democrats who are said to reflect the attitude of important Administration political figures and Democratic National Committee officials. Passage of the bill by the Senate was a tribute to one persistent legislator, Senator Hatch (D. N. M.), who was favored by the Sheppard Committee's revelations of political exploitation of WPA in Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and other states during the last campaign. But strong Administration influences now seem determined to bottle it up somewhere along the route in the House. If 1t ever comes to the floor, passage seems assured. It would be hard for members to vote against it, though the House in the past has looked with far less kindly eyes upon such reforms than has the Senate; it defeated a Senate antilobbying bill and Senator Norris’ bill to require the merit system in the Home Owners Loan Corp. It is much easier to strangle a bill in the House than in the Senate, because of more diffused responsibility. Guffey Shows Opposition First intimations of dissatisfaction with the bill came a few days ago when Senator Guffey (D. Pa), one of the most active political figures in the Administration, had the measure recalled from the House, after Senate passage, for reconsideration. He explained that he had received lots of telegrams about one section which it was thought might bar Cabinet officers from taking part in politics. Senator Hatch assured him this was not the intention, and added that he would appear before the House Judiciary Committee and propose & clarifying amendment. Senator Guffey then withdrew his motion for recall and reconsideration.

ASKS $25,000 FOR FALL INTO MANHOLE

The City and the Indianapolis Water Co. today were named defendants in a $25.000 civil damage suit filed on behalf of Mrs. Mary F. Summers, 1126 English Ave. The complaint alleges that last January Mrs. Summers fell into an exposed water company manhole at the southwest corner of Shelby and Georgia Sts, where the City was repairing the sidewalk. It further alleges that she suffered bruises and fractures and has been confined to her bed more than 13 weeks. Water company officials denied liability. City officials declined comment.

NLRB IS TARGET | IN WAGNER LAW INVESTIGATIONS

Agitation for Unseating of Present Members Grows In Congress.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, April 22.—Efforts to unseat the National Labor Relations Board are growing in Congress. On the Senate side, the Board’s enemies are succeeding in turning the Wagner law hearings into an investigation of the Board. On the House side, Chairman J. Warren Madden of the Board probably will be called before the Rules Committee next week. Even friends of the Board, such as Chairman Mary T. Norton of the House Labor Committee and Rep. Robert Ramspeck (D. Ga), now are considering & new Board. At the Senate hearings next week, Senator Holt (D. W. Va.) will try to show from its personnel records that the Board organization is «stacked with radicals,” and will try to grill Board members Edwin S. Smith and Donald W. Smith. A similar attack is planned by Senstor Bridges (R. N. H).

Charge ‘Foolishness’

These moves, and the unfinished baiting of Chairman Madden through long days of Senate hearings, are aimed more directly at the Board than at the law. As for the law, the Board has given the Senate committee an exhaustive report of four volumes, apparently little read. In addition, Chairman Madden and Chief Counsel Fahy, the next scheduled witness, are making further voluminous reports from the stand. But the critics want something else. The move to pull in other Board members and employees, and the nature of the hostile examination, indicate that the critics are more hopeful of unseating the Board than of basically changing the law. Such committee members as Senators Taft (R. 0.) and Ellender (D. 1a) in questioning Mr. Madden and other witnesses openly accuse the board of “foolishness,” “unfairness,” and “partisanship.” Even more hostile are authors of amendments, such as Senators Burke (D. Neb) and Holman (R. Ore) and Rep. Hoffman (R. Mich).

Madden Holds Up

Under this continuous barrage the courteous and able chairman Madden has not cracked. Not once sO far has he failed to answer charges to the apparent satisfaction of Senators Hill (D. Ala), Elbert D. Thomas (D. Utah), Robert M. LaFollette Jr. (Prog. Wis.), and other pro-Wagner members of the committee. Even Senator Walsh (D. Mass), author of the A. F. of L. amendments against the Board, commends his ‘“open-mindness.” Unfortunately for the Board, however, the issue may not be decided on the Madden testimony or the voluminous statistical and legal defense. Political and personal considerations increasingly dominate the situation.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., April 22 (U. P).—Senator Burke (D. Neb.) last night blamed the “underlying principle” of the Wagner Labor Relations Act and “fanatics” on the National Labor Relations Board for

SEN. GLASS KEY IN MONEY FIGHT

Republicans Find Slight Support in House as Extension Passes.

WASHINGTON, April 22 (U. P). —Republican Congressmen, who mustered only four Democratic House votes—all from Texas—in

their unsuccessful fight to abolish President Roosevelt's monetary powers, counted today on Senator Glass (D. Va.) for support in the Senate. Senator Glass, as Senate Banking and Currency subcommittee chairman, is in charge of & companion bill to the measure passed by the House yesterday to extend for two years the two-billion-dollar Stabilization Fund, the Presidents power further to devalue the dollar, and certain features of the silver program. These powers were due to expire June 30. Senator Glass favors continuance of the Stabilization Fund, but opposes extension of the President's devaluation power.

Reorganization Order Likely Next Week

WASHINGTON, April 22 (U. P). —Government reorganization, retarded by years of dispute between

Republican and Democratic Presidents and Congresses, was about to begin today. The first of a series of reorganization orders probably will go to Congress next week. It will become effective within 60 days unless a majority of each House rejects it.

TAX BOARD TO HEAR PROPERTY OWNERS

Hundreds of Marion County property owners are expected to make formal demands before the State Tax Board Monday and Tuesday for reductions totaling $8424, - 000 in their assessed property valuations. Anticipating an overflow crowd, the State Board has arranged to hold the hearings in the House of Representatives Chambers in the State House. More than 2327 petitions have been filed with the Board by Marion County residents. Each petition contends that the assessed valuation of real estate, on which 1940 taxes will be paid, is too high. The amount of reduction asked is set out in each petition. Petitions filed from other coun‘ties in the state totaled 5383, asking $9,384,000 reduction in valuations.

GIBRALTAR, April 22 (U. P).— The ringing choruses of World War songs, sung by British soldiers, sailors and Air Force men and sailors of the French fleet, gave evidence today that Great Britain and France were again allied for peace or war. Three French cruisers joined the fwo destroyers which had been maintaining a close patrol of the Strait of Gibraltar, and the crews of more than 20 French warships, here to guard the strait while the British Fleet massed in the Eastern Mediterranean. A British battleship, two destroyers and a submarine returned here today.

ROOSEVELT RETURNS FROM VISITING SON

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. April 22 (U. PP.) —President Roosevelt planned a leisurely motor trip back to the capital this afternoon after an overnight visit with two other Franklin D. Reosevelts—his son, Franklin Jr, and his grandson, Franklin III. . The President saw his son for only & few hours. Franklin Jr. left by plane last night for Boston to attend the funeral of his cousin, Daniel Roosevelt, who was killed in a plane accident in Mexico this week. Franklin Jr. is a student at the law school of the University of Virginia here.

NAZI PENALTY APPLIED TODAY

Countervailing Duties Go Into Effect at 1 P. M. on German Goods.

WASHINGTON, April 22 (U.P). —“Penalty” duties against the bulk of Germany’s exports to the United States go into effect at 1 p. m. today, setting up & barrier to the already dwindling Nazi trade with this country. The action was ordered by the Treasury & month ago after Attorney General Murphy issued an opinion holding that Germany, in effect, was granting subsidies to her

exporters to the disadvantage of ed

American business and industry. Henceforth, all dutiable German items entering the United States will be subjected to a countervailing penalty duty of 25 per cent of the invoice value in addition to the normal duty, before they can be released from customs custody. On subsequent examination, if it is found that no subsidy was paid by the German Government to the exporter, the 25 per cent penalty impost will be refunded. If the subsidy is found to be less than the 25 per cent penalty, then the difference will be refunded. Contrarily, if the subsidy is found to exceed the penalty, the excess must be paid to the Customs Buresu. Not only goods produced in Germany, but merchandise from territories seized by it in recent months are subject to the penalty assessments.

Neutrality Accord Sought in Senate

WASHINGTON, April 22 (U. P). —The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will begin deliberations in closed sessions next week in an effort to compromise differences over proposed changes in neutrality legislation. Chairman Pittman (D. Nev) made the announcement today after more than two weeks of testimony by opponents and proponents of various proposals.

NAZIS CONFIRM

QUESTIONNAIRE ON F. D. R. PLEA

Asked All 31 Nations if They Were Menaced, Press Is Told.

April 22 (UC. P).—Ger-

peace » with the nations mentioned by the President in his appeal to Chancellor Hitler and Premier Mussolini for an antiaggression pledge, was made known today. Information was made available to the foreign press that Germany had sounded out the 31 nations concerned. It was admitted that communications had been received from some of the nations but it was denied that the semiofficial source had knowledge of the contents of the

replies, It had been reported abroad that Germany had questioned a number of powers as to whether: (1) They feared aggression by Germany and (2) they had advance knowledge of the President’s appeal or, by implication, had asked him to aid them.

Most Answers “No”

Fuehrer Hitler was understood to be intending to mention the replies in a speech which he is to make to the Reichstag next Friday, replying to the President. Lithuania, Hungary and Jugoslavia were reported abroad to have replied “no” to both questions. The Netherlands were reported to have said that Holland did not think it was menaced but would be prepared for any eventuality. It was announced at Berne that the Swiss Federal Council had replied that it placed confidence in Switzerland's neutrality, defended by its own military power and expressly recognized by Germany and other neighbors. Helsingfors announced that Finland, like Lithuania, Hungary and Jugoslavia, had given negative answers to the inquiry. A semiofficial Brussels announcement said that Belgium had replied she had no fear because she “has no reason to doubt” the 1937 guarantees of her territory by Germany, Britain and France. Denmark was reported to have replied that it does not feal threatened. Sweden replied verbally, “We do not feel threatened.” Rumania, in an astonishingly frank reply, seid today that “Germany is in a better position than Rumania to know her own intentions.”

Staff Talks Unconfirmed

The source which disclosed German inquiry held that the action was natural “in view of the action of the American President.” Germany was reported to be planning a vigorous diplomatic campaign particularly in Eastern and Southeastern Europe to consolidate the position of the totalitarian powers and defeat British and French efforts to form a “peace front.” It was forecast that every effort would be made to make it necessary for such nations as Poland, Rumania and Jugoslavia to choose definitely between the Berlin-Rome and London-Paris “axes.” Prospective developments includ-

the

1. Economic discussions with Rumania and probably with Bulgaria and Jugoslavia.

Expect Danzig Talks

9. Jugoslav Foreign Minister Alexander Cincar-Markovitch and Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign Minister, arrive here next week after their conference at Venice starting today. 3. It was exepcted that Jozef Lipski, Polish Ambassador, would visit the Foreign Office next week to discuss German-Polish relations and proposals for the return of Danzig to Germany and for the construction of a strategic motor road across the Polish Corridor. 4. Industrial quarters were believed to be considering the possibility of resuming soon commercial negotiations with France, suspended last fall by the Czechoslovak crisis. 5. Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering, Herr Hitler's right hand man, is expected to visit Madrid soon to represent Germany at the “victory parade” to mark the end of the Spanish civil war.

Britain May Seize Radio Monopoly

LONDON, April 22 (U. P).—The Government is preparing to take over the British Broadcasting Co, which enjoys & radio broadcast monopoly in Great Britain, and utilize it as a powerful propaganda weapon in its “peace front” fight, it was reported today. The Daily Mail, asserting that the Government would assume direct control June 7, said that the network would become a Government news service and that all stations would constitute a potential, and to some extent actual, propaganda machine for the Government. Negotiations seeking to bring Russia and Turkey into the “peace front” continued. Premier Daladier of France and Sir Eric Phipps, British Ambassador, today in Paris discussed Russian proposals for general staff talks and a three-power alliance with Britain and France. It was expected that announcement that Turkey had been brought in might be made early next week. In addition Turkey was reported to be working for a solid bloc of Balkan nations in opposition to the “Rome-Berlin” axis’ expansion poljcies. Jugoslavia and Bulgaria of-

Sergeant Adopts Child Going to ‘New Parents’

JOLIET, Ill, April 22 (U. P).

—A one-year-old baby tangled up

the U. S. Army, Navy, American Red Cross and a commercial air line today in a conflict extending from the Philippine Islands to Illinois.

The baby is Josephine Amelia

Jacobs, daughter of Joseph Jacobs,

an enlisted man in the Navy. Her mother died in December at Manila and Mr. Jacobs asked the Red Cross to find a family to care for her. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Rakoski, Joilet, distant cousins of Mr. Jacobs, agreed

to take the baby and Army Sergt.

Charles Warner and his wife, en

route to the United States for a new assignment, offered to bring her

to San Francisco. From there United Air Lines agreed to bring her to Chicago under the care of Stewardess Evelyn Oquist. Sergt. Warner and his wife arrived with the baby at San Francisco yesterday. Miss Oquist met them and said all was ready for the trip to Chicago. Then the controversy started. “This baby is ours,” Sergt. Warner said. “We fell in love with her. We adopted her in Manila with her father’s approval and have the legal papers. We aren't going to let her be taken from us.” The Rakoskis, who have a T-year-old daughter, were puzzled. “Jacobs wrote to us about our taking the baby,” Mr. Rakoski said. “He told us he didn’t want anybody to adopt her. He just wanted us to take her and bring her up as our daughter because we're relatives and everything. We'd like to have the baby but don’t want to get into any legal mixup about it.” He said he was not going to do anything until he had heard from Mr. Jacobs.

Company officials reported that he failed to do so. The judge today ordered execution of the sentence.

cludes Rumania, Greece, Jugoslavia and Turkey, it was said, and so isolate Rumania that despite British and French guarantees of her security she would find it difficult to remain aloof from Germany and Italy. Italian hope seemed high that the conference would bring Jugoslavia fully into the orbit of the BerlinRome “axis,” and put the totalitarian countries in position to dominate southeastern Europe. Bulgaria would be expected by Italians to align herself with the axis if negotiations with Hungary and Jugoslavia succeeded, and then would come Rumania’s turn.

BELGRADE, April 22 (U. P).— Italian diplomatic activities in recent weeks have made a big impression in Jugoslavia, it was understood today.

“Collaboration between Italy and Jugoslavia is cemented by historical and geographical needs. This collaboration has all the elements necessary to give it definite and lasting

Former Agent Reveals Pay= off in Dillinger Death Trap.

LOS ANGELES, April 22 (U. PJ, ~The Federal Bureau of Investiga= tion was revealed today to have paid $5000 to Anna Sage, the “Woman in Red,” for luring John Dillinger into a death trap outside a Chicago thee ater on July 22, 1934. Joseph E. P. Dunn, formerly head of the FBI office in Los Angeles, said he was assigned to pay her the money. Dillinger was killed by a blast of G-Men’s bullets when he walked into a trap at the theater entrance. The story of how he was trapped came out while Mr. Dunn was testifying in defense of a one million dollar libel suit. “Roping” Explanation Halted Mr. Dunn was explaining why he advanced $200 to a former lobbyist as a means of gaining the man’s confidence. He testified that he had used these methods while he was a G-Man, and said: “As an example of this method of investigation, which in the lane guage of investigators is called ‘Tope ing,’ was——" A lawyer's objection restrained him from citing the example but outside the ocurtroom Mr. Dunn ade mitted he was referring to Ann Sage. “She was to receive $5000 for ine forming the Government operatives where they could find Dillinger,” he said. “Mrs. Sage told Melvin Purvis, FBI officer, that she would atcome pany Dillinger to a Chicago showe house on a certain night and wear a red dress so that they could be identified. Woman Later Deported “After Dillinger was shot, ths FBI agents in Chicago were afraid that she might be killed, so they sent her to Los Angeles. Two months later I was sent the $5000 to pay her. When she called for the money, she wore the same red dress.” Later the woman was deported from the country.
