‘FEELERS’ FOR LABOR PEACE BARE SPLIT OF

Hillman Disagrees/Ye" With Lewis’ Opinion S27in¢ Mill Inn

On Its Im

New Deal Unfortunately Lets Tobin Get Away To Europe.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, July for resumption of the A F. of C. I. O. union peace negotiations were revealed today in publications of the warring labor camps. At the same time a division was indicated in the C. I. O. high command. \ The Advance, organ of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers andj C. I. O. vice president, Sidney Hill-{ man, in discussing the recent col-| lapse of peace efforts stated: | “Contrary to the impressions that were conveved by the press reports of this matter, negotiations have not been broken off. Members of the Amalgamated are keenly interesteq in bringing about peace between the C.1.O and A F oflL i “The Amalgamated is committed, | by its convention decisions and by its entire course of action in this matter, to the proposition that unity of the trade union movement is essential to the realization of the movement's industrial and political aims.”

‘

Await Lewis Notification

The A. F. of L. Weekly News| Service, in its editorial column by Philip Pearl, reviewed in the course of negotiations and reminded John L. Lewis that the A F. of L. is waiting for his promised notification of another meeting. The A. F. of L.| publication said: | “The last conference was heid on April 4 The next day Mr. Lewis telephoned to Vice President Mat-| thew Woll (A. F. of L), and said that negotiations would have to be postponed indefinitely, because he expected to be tied up with coal strike meetings and hearings on Wagner Act amendments. i “We are still waiting word from Mr. Lewis. We wonder if it will ever come.” { The difference of opinion between the C. I. O. chiefs, Mr. Lewis; and Mr. Hillman, concerning the negotiations was hinted by the A} F. of IL. publication but stated frankly by the Hillman organ. Reperting what happened behind the scenes at the recent C. I. O. executive board meeting, the Advance said: | Lewis Pessimistic i “C. I. O. President Lewis and Vice; * President Murray, in their review of the situation, were pessimistic of the possibility of effectuating peace. C. I. O. Vice President Hillman did not see the development in quite the same light, and he expressed himself as being rather hopeful of an eventual reunification of the forces of organized labor. the indicated difference in the appraisal of the situation relates to the practical and immediate aspects of the matter.” | After recalling that the C. I. O. convention is on record for labor] unity, the Hillman organ concluded: | “The C. I. O, of course, and the] Amalgamated as a part of it, holds it as a basic truth that unification] of the movement, if it is to be of! lasting value, must rest upon the recognition of the principle of in-| dustrial unionism. The Amalgamated will in the future. as it did in the past, do all it can to bring about unity upon that basis.” Hillman Predicted Peace | Mr. Hillman in a May speech said. “I predict we will have peace within a year.” But Mr. Lewis contradict-| ed him a later press conference. ! following the C.

Before I had finished I was in full retreat, with my right wing driven back by sparklers, my center broken by skyrockets, and my G. H.

Report Commissioner Will Get No Third-Term Reply; In Capital Tomorrow.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, July 5—On the eve of his arrival here, Paul V. McNutt received a full column of praise today from Ernest K. Lindley, President Roosevelt's biographer and a rated as among the closest to White House news sources. At the same time, J. Fred Essary, chief of the Baltimore Sun's Washington Bureau, reported that President Roosevelt “will give his answer to the third term question on the eve of the meeting of the Democratic National Convention next June and not before.” So while the Lindley column might be a hint of a New Deal blessing for Mr. McNutt's Presidential candidacy in 1940, the Essary report indicates the former Indiana Governor will learn nothing about the President's plans when he goes to the White House tomorrow to present his resignation from the post of High Commissioner to the Philippines. Due te arrive here tomorrow morning, Mr. McNutt already has a press conference scheduled at the Mayflower Hotel for 10,30 a. m,, the announcement having been meade by Wayne Coy, his administrative assistant, who is handling reorganization in the Budget Bureau here. On Friday Mr. McNutt wili deliver his address on the future of the Philippines at the Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia. It is his stand for retention of United States control in the Philippines which brought praise from Mr. Lndley. Citing the toasting incident to show that Mr. McNutt was right about the matter and also noting the high praise bestowed on him by President Quezon of the Philippines and the Manila newspapers, Mr. Lindley said Mr. McNutt is also the first American representative openly to advocate the retenticn of the i under the American ag.”

man Candle is just as dangerous as a coked-up killer with a gun. The same is true of an adult with a sky rocket. It is even money that he will burn the roof off his house, set fire to an innocent passer-by, or become a human torch himself when it tears up the back of his coat and sets fire to his vest. But the really dangerous bit of fireworks to the adult is the dud— the one that fizzles a bit and then doesn’t go off. When a child shoots fireworks he throws the duds away —but not an adult. When a 30-cent salute refuses to explode, he sees it as 30 cents wasted and goes to work on it. Take my own case, for example. The pride of my fireworks assortment was a monstrous sky rocket labeled “A Trip to Neptune.” It stood 6 feet high and the salesman said it was well worth the $1.40 it

He was sales representative for McFadden Publications in north Indianapolis and several small towns north of here. He was born at Youngstown, O., and came here several years ago. He was prominent in young people's circles and in addition to being an accomplished musician, was known as a crack tennis player. He attended School 60, was graduated from Shortridge High School and attended Butler and Indiana Universities. Mr. Netzorg was a member of the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation, the Temple Young People’s League, B'nai B'rith, the Indianapolis Amateur Tennis League and the Kirshbaum Center Dramatic Club,

Funeral Tomorrow

He is survived by his mother, Mrs. Estelle Netzorg, and two brothers,

apolis. Funeral services will be held at 2 p. m. tomorrow at the Aaron-Ruben Funeral Home. Burial will be at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation Cemetery. Mr. Emmons was injured fatally when the “jaloppy” he was driving in a 50-mile race at the Pike County Fair Grounds track at Petersburg overturned, Witnesses said he tried to take the car around a sharp turn too swiftly and lost control. His parents witnessed the crash. Two others were injured in other accidents during the race. Mr. Callahan, a power company lineman, was killed when he came in contact with a 13,200-volt power line near Aurora. He fell from the top of a pole. He lived here until four years ago.

Drowns in Stone Quarry

Mr. Pass drowned in a stone quarry near Rensselaer during a

moonlight swimming party. Friends who were with him said they believed he was stricken with cramps and sank before they could reach him. : Mr. Schwartz drowned in the Patoka River near Jasper when he tried to swim across the stream to inspect fishing lines. His brother-in-law attempted to rescue him, but Mr. Schwartz fought him off. The Robina youth drowned in Bass Lake near Knox when he be-

His host, Joseph Rubbi, 17, also of Gary, attempted to rescue him. Young Elliott drowned in Lake Placid a short time after the life guard had left for the day. He and a companion, Darwin Miller, were alone in the lake at the time. Mr. Miller said Elliott sank after becoming exhausted in an attempted swim across the lake. The victim of the June 17 accident was Charles Heckman, 66, who lives in a trailer on W. Wabash St., 400 block. He was struck by an automobile which police said was driven by Frank W. Kinsley, 23, of Bloomington, while crossing N. West St., in the 100 block. While authorities believed scores of others possibly were injured by fireworks, oniy 26 required treatment at City Hospital. Most of them were children and were discharged after treatment.

Pedestrian Is Injured

Among those injured was Kenneth Jones, 7. of 1357 Nordyke Ave. When a cracker under a can failed to explode, he looked under. As he did, it exploded and he was cut severely over the right eye. Firecrackers caused at least one fire. An explosive thrown on the roof of the home of R. McGlacken, 136 S. McKim St. started a blaze which caused $15 damage. David Trissel, 78, of 608 E. Walaut St, was injured critically last night when struck by a trackless trolley at Massachussetts and College Aves. He is suffering from concussion and abrasions.

Glenn Wasson, 35, of 1935 N. Keystone Ave. operator, said Mr. Trissel stepped from behind a north bound carrier into the path of his carrier, which was going south. He said he swerved in an attempt to avoid hitting him. Mary McGloon, 25, of 2211 N. Meridian St, was in serious condition at St. Vincent's Hospital with a punctured lung received when struck by an auto. She stopped her car on the inside lane for the traffic signal at College Ave. and 42d St. and then started to walk across the street. The light changed and she was struck, police said, as Garland Burris, 27, of 2063 N. Meridian St., drove ahead on the green light.

But I didn't. I held it in my arms, peered nto its various recesses, and shook and stomped it. To save my $140 I made friends with enough explosive to destroy a regiment. Finally, I poked a lighted match way up in it.

Suddenly I got tremendous action. The powder in the “Trip to Neptune” let loose with a tremendous roar. Sparks flew right and left. There was a wild screech and a mad hiss. Before T could drop it I got a first-hand view of purgatory.

Wave of Nationalism Rises In Face of Pressure From Germany.

always was a note of hysteria in the Czechoslovak protestations that they never would suffer the fate of Austria. But I could find no such strain of uncertainy at the present moment in the challenge of Warsaw, Lodz, Cracow and other populations for the Nazis to ‘“‘come and get it!” On the contrary, the international situation seems on the surface at least to have ended for the time being the Ukrainian Separatist agitation and brought Poles rallying to a defiant nationalism.

Jokes Rib Hitler

A taxi driver told me about preparations for “the Battle of Berlin.” A train acquaintance repeated one of the many jokes now in circulation at the expense of Germany. “This one was that Adolf Hitler is sleeping badly these night “because the Polish Army insists upon marching up and down the Corridor (Pomorze) outside.”

Newspapers may repeat the jokes. Or you may be handed a piece of paper showing four little black and white pigs standing nose to nose with the question: “Where is the fifth pig?” When the paper is folded a certain way it shows a picture of Herr Hitler. There also has been a run of ‘umbrella jokes,” as a result of the famous umbrella British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain carried to Munich when Germany took the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. In fact, the valet of one foreign diplomat recently begged his employer not to carry an umbrella in Warsaw although they were attending an open air top-hatted ceremony at the airport with thunderheads on the horizon. The diplomat complied with the request and was drenched by rain. “Statesmen,” he remarked later, “often make sacrifices on the altar of principle.” In official circles, the general attitude is more serious but no less defiant. “We Can Fight . . .” “We can hold out,” a leading Polish diplomat told me. “We have known centuries of battle. We can fight if necessary. “Danzig is not to us a question of so many thousand Germans or so many square miles. It is a question of German guns dominating Gdynia, or a German extraterritorial highway across our Corridor to the sea like a noose around the nation's windpipe. “We are willing to negotiate all fair demands. But we realize—and recent experience certainly bears us out—that one concession to German threats opens up a vista of unending concessions to come. We do not intend to become a subject people. “England and France are now tied to Poland. It is merely a question of whether Poland has gained the strength she needs to be a pillar to which England and France will tie in Eastern Europe. “We say this is our lebensraum (living space). Hitler comes 600 years too late to find his lebensraum here.”

OVERTHROW OF TOKYO CABINET: IS THREATENED

Government's Coolness to Alliance With Axis Causes Split.

anteed by Britain, Russia and France. After Britain agreed to include the small Baltic states against the expressed desire of those governments, the London negotiators also proposed to include Holland and Swit zerland. For the time being, Russia has balked at that proposal unless Turkey and Poland change their past attitude and joint a strong military alliance with the Soviets, Nazis appeared willing for the moment to let the tension over the Free City of Danzig die down. at least until a few weeks hence when they have indicated they expected the Free City would be ready for return to the Reich. Tension over Danzig was consid-

erably relaxed in Warsaw following -

a three-hour conference of Government chiefs at the Presidential Palace.

Poland Decides Next Step

It was understood Poland's next step had been decided and that this step will not be a drastic one. This attitude was indicated by a

definite lessening of tension in the press, which, for the last three days has generally refrained from comment, especially withholding attacks on Germany. The press confined itself to reports of the Danzig situation from London, Paris and Berlin. In answer to a query by Vyvyan Adams, Conservative in the British House of Commons, Prime Minister Chamberlain declared that the Government would “take any steps which may seem necessary to make its attitude clear on the Danzig problem. Mr. Adams had inquired if Great Britain would mobilize its fleet as a gesture to show Nazi Germany that England would resist aggressive action by force. Mr. Chamberlain did not clarify the question of whether Britain would fight if a forcible attempt were made to change the status of Danzig as a Free City. R. A. Butler, Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, also declined under questioning to elaborate on that vital issue which some observers have considered an “out” for the Government in event of a Nazi putsch.

Refers to Pledge

“I refer questioners to the terms of our pledge to Poland which Great Britain wili certainly fulfill,”

Mr. Butler said under sharp questioning regarding an internal Nazi uprising in Danzig. The British pledge is merely that she will fight if Poland's independence is endangered and if the Poles fight in self-defense. “Could the minister at least say whether if Poland suffers an act of aggression all our forces would immediately be put at her disposal?” Frederick S. Cocks, Laborite, asked. “Mr. Cocks will remember the terms of the guarantee we gave Poland referred to a very clear threat to her independence,” Mr, Butler replied, refusing to say whether Britain would make diplomatic representations to Danzig regarding military preparations in the Free State which he said apparently violate the Danzig statute. French sources, meanwhile, re< ported that their airplane production had increased at a much more rapid pace than expected and that the scheduled 1940 production rate would be reached in’ mid-Stepteme« ber. In Rome, a royal decree announced that 12 new ocean going submarines had been commissioned for service.
