COMPROMISE ON HATCH BILL NOW CONSIDERED OUT

Senator Fails to Meet in Scheduled Talk With Opponents.

By CHARLES T. LUCEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 23.—Possibility of a compromise on the Hatch bill banning political activities by Federal employees virtually disappeared today as the House Judiciary Committee prepared for a showdown on the measure next Tuesday. The end of compromise attempts was seen when a planned meeting between Senator Hatch (D. N. M)), author of the legislation, and a group of House opponents, failed to materialize. One meeting was held Wednesday, but no agreement was reached. Senator Hatch, it was understood, declined to accept proposals which would have greatly limited the scope of his bill. The Senator has received from Rep. Emanuel Celler (D. N. Y), acting Judiciary Committee chairman, assurance that the measure will be taken up Tuesday with the indication that it will be reported to the House. Offers Relief Bill Rider Possibility that what the Committee does to his bill would be acceptable to Senator Hatch appeared limited. Rep. Celler, with Rep. Arthur D. Healey (D. Mass.), is expected to attempt so to amend the legislation as to leave large groups of Federal employees free to engage in political activity. Presure for such amendments has been applied in the House by the Democratic National Committee. Senator Hatch, meanwhile, presented to the Senate an amendment which in substance would add his pill to the $1.716.000.000 relief bill which passed the House a few days ago and will reach the Senate floor early next week. He will actually propose the the amendment, he said, only “if necessary’—that is if a milk-and-water version of his nopolitics measure comes out of the House Ccmmittee.

“I Want It to Do So”

Speaking in the Senate, Senator Hatch said his bill would prohibit Federal employees “such as district attorneys, internal revenue collectors and thousands of other employees in clerical positions from actively participating in politics— and I want it to do that very thing.

Minton to Back Lending, VanNuys, Ludlow Wait

Times Special

WASHINGTON, June 23.—Senator Minton (D. Ind.) tocday approved the President's new extra-budgetary lending program but Senator Van-

Nuys (D. Ind.) would not express

immediate approval or disapproval.

Two Hoosier Democratic Congressmen backed the plan and one

Republican criticized it. “In my opinion,” Senator Minton said “the program is essential to keeping the wheels of industry turning. I hope the plan will receive early approval so that its benefits will not be delayed.” Rep. Louis + Ludlow (D.) announced he would seek the opinion of Indianapolis business and indus-

trial leaders as to whether it is a sound measure and then act on such information. Rep. William H. Larrabee (D.), however, issued a statement citing the necessity for the national Government to take action. It reads: “Just as long as a sit-down strike

of those controlling the money re-|

serve of our nation continues, preventing an adequate flow of capital

“It will prevent all these em-| ployees from going as delegates to] conventions, and I want it to do| that very thing, ever has been an abuse of patronage | in the history of the country, it has been the packing of political conventions by political employees.”

into the channels providing employment in private industry, it will continue to be necessary for Govern-

to provide employment and flood the stream of finance with necessary capital. . . It should not be diffi-

ery to support a program of this nature.” Rep. Eugene B. Crowe (D.) also approved the plan. “There will be a good chance to

have this money refunded,” he said. “So this should be good sound legislation for recovery and far better than some we have passed. Rep. Raymond S. Springer (R.) termed the proposal “unsound” and predicted that it will meet with opposition from conservative Democrats as well as his fellow-Repub-licans. “I don’t like it,” Rep. Springer declared. “This lend-spent idea is unsound and just another will-o-the-wisp of unstable planning in the perpetual and futile effort to lure | forth business recovery. “What business, industry and agriculture all need is some assur{ance of governmental protection and

because if there ment to resort to unusual means not that they will always be subor-

|dinated and subsidized. “The President's latest plan is just another New Deal shot-in-the-

cult for anyone interested in recov-iarm.”

200 WILL TRY AIR CURRENTS

Prizes of $5000 to $10,000 Will Be Distributed With Trophies.

ELMIRA, N. Y, June 23 (NEA) — The daring young men in the motorless gliders will be soaring through the air with the greatest of ease hereabouts Monday. Nearly 200 of them will assemble at Harris Hill for the Tenth Annual National Soaring Contest, and for 15 days pit their skill and technique against the whims of the upper air currents. About a score have come from California to compete under the ideal conditions offered by the Chemung Valley of southern New York State. The entries will set a new record, representing an increase of 25 per cent over the previous high for an American soaring contest. The widespread development of public interest in aviation is regarded as the reason. Between $5000 and $10,000 will be distributed at the end of the contest, July 9, besides a large number of trophies. Chief among the awards will be the Vincent Bendix

prizes for the longest flights. Thrills at Little Cost

The pilot who has the best record will receive $500 in cash and a gold cup. Silver and bronze trophies go to second and third places. If the national soaring distance record is broken by the winner, the cash award will be $1000. Motorless flight offers thrills at little cost, as well as invaluable training in “navigating” the air. The Germans proved after the World War that it was necessary to have powered planes in order to fly. Some pilots like Richard C. duPont, scion of the wealthy industrial family, look upon soaring as the greatest thrill in aviation. A licensed airplane pilot, duPont has been the American leader in soaring for several years and was twice national champion.

Held of Scientific Value

* Others entered in the contest are preparing for careers as aeronautical engineers. Students from the

Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, Purdue University, Carnegie Institute of Technology and other institutions, who have built gliders and sailplanes as part of their study of aerodynamics, will test their theories. Although soaring is purely a sport, it is recognized for its scientific value. The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics will have representatives at the Elmira meet. The Army Air Corps will send an official observer. Engineers and heads of many of the leading aircraft manufacturing corporations will attend.

Declares He's Almost Sure Suffering Would Have Forced Him to Quit If He Hadn't Won Such Glorious Relief.

Medicines compounded chiefly from ingredients obtained from nature’s herbs have enjoyed great popularity ever since Biblical Days. But it remained for Natex to develop such a medicine that was far superior to any that had been sold previously. That is why the Natex representative who is daily meeting local people at Haag's Claypool Hotel Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts, hears so many stories like that of Mr. H. Bowles, Van Camp Canning Co. employee living at 1821 S. East St. this city. He

says: “Although my bowels had been more or less sluggish and irregular for some time, the suffering that 1 went through here lately would have been enough to worry anyone. I had absolutely no appetite, didn’t eat enough to keep up my strength, vet suffered after even the lightest meals with indigestion, gas, shortness of breath and heartburn. I always felt dead tired, yet I was entirely too tense and nervous to sleep well at night and usually got up in the mornings with either a headache or dizzy spell. In addition, it seemed that I just couldn't rid myself of aches in my back, arms, legs and muscles. I'd really reached the point where I was afraid I'd have to quit my job. “I've used Natex only about § weeks now, but actually it’s hard for me to believe that I'm the same person at all.

‘THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

F.D. R. IS ASKED WHY HE THINKS WAR IMMINENT

.|Rep. Rogers Seeks Reason

For Hurry to Change Neutrality Law.

WASHINGTON, June 23 (U. P.). — Rep. Edith Nourse Rogers (R. Mass.) today called on President Roosevelt to submit to the House,

“if not incompatible with public interest,” whatever information he has

: | leading him to believe that war in

Europe is imminent. Mrs. Rogers, a World War nurse, announced that she was introducing a resolution requesting the President to transmit to the House “such information as may be in his possession or in the files of the State Department which indicates that actual war is imminent between certain countries on the continent of Europe.” Hers was the first Republican move to pin down the Administration on necessity for approval cf the neutrality law amendments carried in the Bloom bill which goes te the House floor next Monday. Her resolution recited that the President at a press conference last week urged enactment of the Bloom bill at this session, and said that if Congress adjourned without acting and a war broke out it would be difficult for the United States to revise its laws without being open to the accusation cf zavoritism.

Mead Discounts

Testimony of Foes

WASHINGTON, June 23 (U. P). —Senator Mead (D. N. Y.) sponsor of a bill to authorize Governmentinsured loans to small business, said he doubted today the validity of testimony in opposition to his measure offered by five members of the National Small Businessmen’s Association. Senator Mead charged that the witnesses, who appeared before a Senate Banking Subcommittee considering the bill, apparently spoke “only for themselves,” and that they offered no substitute program. “The only thing they seemed sure of was that they didn't want loans for little business,” Senatcr Mead said. The subcommittee’s hearings have recessed until next week when Commerce Secretary Hopkins and Chairman Jesse Jones of the Reconstruction Finance Corp. will present the Administration's viewpoint. Secretary Hopkins has indorsed the bill on principle; Mr. Jones has been noncommittal. Senator Mead said the five witnesses who testified yesterday were representatives of a “mushroom growth” organization which resulted from a Congress of “Little Business” held in Washington last February.

House Accepts Big

Farm Bill Increases

WASHINGTON, June 23 (U. P.). —A record-breaking $1,150,951,130 Agriculture Department appropriation for 1940 went back to conference between the Senate and House today after House acceptance of more than $338,000,000 in unbudgeted funds added by the Senate. The two’ chief items were $225,000,000 for parity payments to farmers, and $113,000,000 additional for disposing of farm surpluses. President Roosevelt has expressed opposition to the unbudgeted surpluses items unless Congress is willing to levy new taxes to finance them. Still in dispute were several minor amendments.

NLRB and Wage-Hour

Investigation Asked

WASHINGTON, June 23 (U. P.). —The House Rules Committee received today two resolutions introduced by Rep. Howard W. Smith (D. Va.) calling for investigations of the National Labor Relations Board and the Wage-Hour Administration. The resolutions would provide for two special committees of five members each to be appointed by the Speaker. Rep. Eugene E. Cox (D. Ga.), bitter critic of the Board and the New Deal, and who recently charged in a speech that the Labord Board was “infested with Communists,” predicted that the resolutions would be adopted. He and Rep. Smith are

members of the Rules Committee.

Local Man Wouldn't Be Working Today If He Hadn't Used Natex

Mr. H. Bowles

this soon had me feeling better generally. Now, I can scarcely wait for mealtime because I know I can eat my fill without suffering afterward; my nerves are so calm that I sleep like a child right through the nights; the headaches and dizzy spells never seem to torment me, and I've even won grand relief from the old aches in my back, arms, legs and muscles. No, sir, I have no fears of being forced to quit work now—and all the credit must go to Natex!” : A special Natex representative is at Haag's Claypool Hotel Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts, daily explaining the merits of Natex and how it can help you. See him. Natex is also being especially featured by all 26 Haag Neighborhood Stores.
