New'Jersey St. Police emergency squad members said the men were overcome by sulphuric acid fumes from 10 tubs in the steep room. The acid and water had been placed in the tubs to prevent rusting. when the plant closed temporarily three weeks ago. Mr. Breimier and Mr. Gloger were called back to work today to clean the tubs preparatory to the plant’s reopening next Monday. They had been in the room only a few minutes when overcome. Mr. Meranda, who was working nearby, saw them and attempted to drag them from the room, but ‘was overcome himself, Police and Fire Department emergency squads were summoned and revived the men with inhalators, then sent them to the hospital,

r ASHINGTON, July 27 (U. P)—C. 1 O, President John Ln: Lewis today denounced a “labor-baiting, poker-playing, whisky-drink-ing, evil old man whose name is Garner,” during House Labor. Commit- : tee consideration of Wage-Hour Act amendments. : Mr. Lewis charged that Vice President John N.. Garner was to | blame for Congressional attacks on labor during the current session, including the drive in the House to pass ‘amendments to the WageHour Act to eliminate agricultural processing workers from its pro-

tection.

Mr. Garner read a United Press account of Mr. Lewis’ testimony

and chuckled.

“I have no comment to make; I never make criticisms, or comment on anything,” Mr. Garner said. Expanding his denunciation of Mr. Garner, Mr. Lewis went ‘on: “Im against him individually, personally, concretely, and in the

abstract, » Mr. Lewis roared. against him in 1940 when he

“I'm against him in 1939 and will be for President. He’ll never achieve

the Presidency of this great republic by baiting labor and seeking to debase America.”

R. LEWIS said ‘he would sot criticize Mr. Garner's private business operations but, he said, “I object to Mr. Garner's putting his foot on the necks of millions of Americans by conducting the: intrigues in this session of Congress against every proposal to protect the rights of labor.” Mr. Lewis made his attack at a hearing called by Chairman Mary T. Nerton (D. N. J.) in-"an attempt to reach a compromise on the conflicting amendments to the Wage-Hour Law sponsored. by herself and Rep. Graham A. Barden (D. N. C.). Speaking on behalf’ of the C. I. O. and Labor's Non-Partisan League, Mr. Lewis said their “great membership is opposed to the

amendments to this act.” Mr, Lewis charged that

“corporation lawyers and 16bbyists have.

infested this Capitol in the last few months asking relief for certain individuals who believe that 25 cents an hour is too much.” It was at this point he launched into his personal attack on

DECLINE REPORTED IN WHOOPING COUGH

42 Are Listed Here This ‘Week—46 Per Cent Drop.

The spread of whooping cough which has caused the death of two infants in the city is beginning to abate, Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City health officer, said today. Dr. Morgan said 42 new cases were reported in the first three days of this week, a drop of 46 per cent from the number reported in the same period last week. : He predicted that the week’s total would rise to about 80 by Safurday, compared to 147 new cases reported last week. The latest victim of the disease was 17-month-old Frank Wilson, who died, at City Hospital Monday. Dr. Morgan urged parents to keep young children out of crowds and suspect a lingering cold with a cough as whooping cough. Three hundred children now are under quarantine for the disease, he said.

ELY OF TVA NAMED FOR MNINCH POST

WASHINGTON, July 27 (U. P.) — President Roosevelt today nominated James Lawrence Fly, Tennessee Valley Authority solicitor,

member of the Federal Communications Commission. Submission of the nomination brought the first official revelation that Mr. McNinch had resigned. Mr. McNinch, ‘who had served as FCC chairman since the fall of 1937, had indicated early this week that illness was forcing him to relinquish his post. Mr. Fly does not automatically succeed McNinch as chairman since the Commission elects - its ‘own head. -

Neighboring Mars Comes Within Calling Distance

Only 36,022,300 Miles Away- and Astronomers Try to Solve That Old Mystery of -Canals.

NEW YORK, July 27 (U. P.).—The planet Mars, whose mysteries have intrigued every astronomer since Galileo, comes closer to the earth at 3 p. m. (Indianapolis Time) today than it has for 15 years and closer

At that moment it will be 36,022,300 miles away, only 4 per cert less than: the nearest point it ever comes to this world. It will rise low in the southeastern sky as the sun sets.

As astronomers prepared to take colored photographs of the planet with powerful telescopes in an attempt to learn more of its surface markings, casual observers all over the world asked again, “Is there life on Mars?”

Men who have spent a lifetime studying the planet believe that life, as we know it, does not exist there, * But. thousands of laymen, including the radio listeners who. were terror-stricken last October by Orson Welles’ broadcast dramatiza~ tion of H. G. Wells’ “The War of the Worlds,” wonder.

Plans Radio ‘Signal’

Radio station WOR at Newark, N. J, will flash a radio signal to the Martians who invaded New Jersey in ‘Welles’ play, hoping it will “bbunce” back. The New York World's Fair amusement area planned a blackout at 8:15 p. m. with mobilization of a squadron of National ‘Guard planes and an army anti-aircraft battery to “defend” the city against Martian invaders. Several American scientific expeditions were ready to photograph the planet from South African-ob-servatories. The planet will be near the Zenith there, rather than low in ‘the sky, affording scientists a view less obscured by atmospheric impurities. Witch doctors of Jalisco State, Mexico, feared the proximity of Mars would Hestroy the world. Emilo Nolte Bustamente, a Mexico City engineer, predicted earthquakes on both earth and mars about July 30 or 31. Also in Mexico Senora Josefina Guerra died.of a heart attack induced by terror at the approach of Mars to the earth.

Surface Like Earth’s

Scientists and casual observers always have been more interested in Mars than in any other planet because it is one of the few heavenly bodies on which a surface like the eurth’s can be seen. The naked eye sees it as a large, red ball brighter than any star or planet except Venus. Through a telescope it is an orange color with darker markings of greenish blue, mostly in a belt south of the Martian equator.. A pattern of fine lines— the “canals” of Mars—enmeshes the planet. Galileo made the “first scientific observations in 1610. In 1783 Sir William Herschel noted ice caps at each of its poles which spread during the Martian winter and melted in the summer. G. V. Schiaparelli first noted the network of lines in 1877 and it was he who advanced the theory that they were “canals.” Most astronomers have discarded the canal theory.

GREENLEE OUT, MINTON YIELDS

Decides Not to Back Him Further After Seeing Morgenthau.

' By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, July 27.—Pleas Greenlee is absolutely out as Internal Revenue Collector at Indianapolis and Will Smith will remain in that post for the present at least, Senator Sherman Minton (D. Ind) was informed today. . The Senator, who sought to get Mr. Greenlee the appointment to aid in his campaign for renomination and re-election next year, went to the Treasurery today to see the report of the investigators regarding Mr. Greenlee. Although he conferred. ‘with Sec retary of Treasury Henry’ than, he was not shown the report which previously had, been termed

| “routine.”

Report: Cannot Be Shown “Secretary ‘Morgenthau told me that on the basis of the routine investigation of Mr. Greenlee he did not feel that he could recommend him for the appointment,” Senator Minton said after the conference.

Mr. Greenlee has said that these sums were contributions and not taxable.

No Use, Minton Decides Senator Minton said that he was satisfied that Mr. Greenlee cannot be appointed and that he intends to “let the whole thing simmer awhile.” Senator Frederick W. VanNuys (D..Ind.) was the one who wanted Mr. Smith out and Senator Minton saw. this as an opportunity to put Mr. Greenlee in. Both joined in Greenlee to President Roosevelt. The senior Senator has said that he wiil insist on the Smith ouster, but it is unlikely that anything can be accomplished before Congress adjourns, Senator Minton _ pointed out.

Drivers From North Without Hoosier Tags Face Arrest.

A truck license war was started with Wisconsin by Indiana officials today following failure of the State Reciprocity Commission to reach an agreement: with officials at Madison, Wis. The Indiana Motor Vehicle Division instructed State Police to begin at once arresting Wisconsin truck drivers who fail to display Indiana truck weight tags and regular Indiana license plates. Frank Finney, Motor License Division director, said the Indiana Reciprocity Commission had been trying for. several months to get reciprocal license privileges for Indiaha trucks in Wisconsin. “Wisconsin _ officials, however, contended that their laws prohibit extension of license privilgges to out-of-state truckers and the only course we can take now is to force Wisconsin trucks entering Indiana to carry our license plates,” Mr. Finney said. Indiana trucks entering Wisconsin will: have to pay a “10-miletax” imposed in that state in addition to regular truck plates. A reciprocity bill was defeated in the last session of the Wisconsin Legislature. Meanvhile, the.

He called attention, however, to the note’s language which implied, he said, that studies would be made to determine whether a new treaty should be negotiated. The note said the American Government, after study of the treaty, had “come: to the conclusion that the treaty of commerce and navigation between the United States and Japan . . . contains: provisions. which need. new consideration.” It was indicated that a greater respect for American rights and interests in China by Japan“was one issue which required “new consideration.” | ‘The United States contends that Japan has repeatedly and flagrantly
