PARLEY TO CONSIDER JOB PLAN FOR YOUTH

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (U.P) — A group of industrial, educational and labor leaders expected to for-|. mulate a plan today that would seek to answer the problem of 4,000,000 unemployed youths. The group concludes a two-day conference called by Federal Secur- | ity Administrator Paul V. McNutt after hearing National Youth Ad-| ministrator Aubrey Williams say that “we just can’t sweep our four million unemployed young people into the ocean.” Dr. Charles Judd, former head of the Department of Education at the University of Chicago, presided. He said that “we undoubtedly will wind up by making recommendations that will be presented to President Rcosevelt, Mr. McNutt and Mr. Williams.”

Insurance company inspectors today estimated the damage by fire in the Nashville, | Ind., business district yesterday at $15,000. Here are the ruins of Bond's variety store, mortuary and information bureau at the cross roads of picturesque Brown County.

Spee, headed towards shore, could not shake off its speedy tormentor. I first saw the actual battle from the shore line below Punta Del Este, a short resort promontory at the month of the River Plate, From there I motored 30 miles down the coast to keep tabs on the furious battle, Motoring to Punta Del Este, I followed the battle by the sound of guns as the four ships bore down toward Monteyideo. . At about 6:30 p. m., following the

coast line as closely as possible, I sighted” the Graf Spee five miles south of Isla Del Lobo (Wolf Island, where the River Plate empties into the Atlantic.)

Prober Suggests NLRB Has a ‘Company Union’

WASHINGTON, Dee. 14 (U. P). The House committee investigat-

ing the National Labor Relations

Board today called a blond Government whether the Board itself is “conducting a company union.” Mary Moore, Board's Boston office, was called as

stenographer to determine

He pointed out that it is a violation of the Wagner Labor Relations Act for an industrial concern to permit meetings on {its property on company time. “The whole question,” sald Mr. Toland, “is whether the Board is conducting a company union.” Before Mrs. Moore took the stand, Joe Ozanic, president of the Progressive Mine Workers (A. F. of L.) urged the committee to recommend that the Board be reconstituted and deprived of discretionary power. Mr. Ozanic concluded his testimony after Committee Member Abe Murdock (D. Utah) and Mr. Toland

{had engaged in a clash over pro-

cedure, and Mr. Toland had placed in the record a telegram from Morris Watson, vice president of the American Newspaper Guild, charging the Committee with ‘“‘un-Amer-ican, cowardly procedure.” After spending all day yesterday recounting his experiences with the board, during which he testified that it denied recognition to 80,000 members of his union, Ozanic proposed four types of changes in the Wagner Act: 1. To deprive the board of its “broad discretionary powers.” 2. To make it mandatory on the Board to act within a specified

time on petitions and charges filed. He had charged that the Board failed to act on petitions filed by his union for long periods. 3. To state in the law specifically what constitutes an appropriate bargaining unit. The main point of controversy between the Progressive Miners and the United Mine Workers (C. I. O.) has been the Board's recognition of industrywide bargaining units in coal. 4. To abolish the present threeman Board and create a new board of five men, “so that if one or two are biased they wouldn't overwhelm or control the board.”

2 MAP APPEAL IN WPA FRAUD CASE

(Continued from Page One)

Baltzell if he had anything to say, answered that “all this work was done on public property, was authorized by the WPA, and was as legal as any that has been done.” The Judge answered that he did not believe the roads were for public use. “Poor people have been taken advantage of,” the Judge said, “by having them work on private property. This is illegal and the defendants must pay the penalty. Public officials have a greater duty than anyone else and therefore Kortepeter should receive more punishment than Derbyshire because he was charged with a greater responsibility.” In answer, U. S. District Attorney Val Nolan said that so far as he was concerned there should be no difference in the imprisonment, but that Derbyshire should be fined the maximum of $14,000 because the amount of fraud is about that amount. Judge Baltzell replied he thought there should be a difference in their terms, since Kortepeter was “an

shouldn't destroy Derbyshire’s life by a heavy fine.” In overruling the new trial motion, Judge Baltzell said there was ample evidence to support the verdict. “I feel that it is a lawyer's responsibility to call the court's attention to any misstatements at the time they are made,” Judge Baltzell said, referring to the new trial motion, which alleged that Mr. Nolan had made a prejudicial statement. Mr. Mattice’'s motion had taken exception to a statement by Mr. Nolan in his closing argument to the jurors in telling them: “If you go along with me in this and bring a verdict of guilty, I promise you I will call a special Grand Jury to hear evidence I now have in my

possession.”

Of the children clothed yesterday the Diamond Chain Co. machine shop financed 26 and the Diamond Chain Co. office girls three. Second floor employees of L. S. Ayres & Co. clothed eight. The campaign is now coming into the push stage, where every last dollar that can be spared is needed for the huge task. The weather has turned cold—too cold for children with no jackets and bad shoes.

You can participate in this citywide plan to help children who need help. The Times has set up headquarters at 206 W. Maryland St.

There are three ways you can participate: 1. If you wish to shop with a child personally, you can call the city’s most popular telephone number—RILEY 5551— and make an appointment to meet a child at our headquarters. 2. If you want The Times to act for you mail a check to “Clothe-A-Child.” Experienced shoppers will do the rest. 3. Or you can join with others in your office, club, church, fraternity, sorority or lodge. Select a treasurer. Then call up and tell how many you want to clothe. Both the Social Service Department of the Public Schools and the parochial schools system checks eagh child to be sure the cases are correctly represented and to make certain there will be no duplication. The cost of outfitting a child varies, of course, with the needs of the child, but ranges from $8 to $12. Your gift will be appre-

ciated in many ways. Remember, just call RILEY 5551 Ask for Clothe-A-Child

RUMANIA STEPS UP REICH’S OIL QUOTA

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Dec. 14 (U. P).—A German economic victory was seen today in the announcement that Rumania had agreed to ship 1000 tank cars of oil, amounting to 10,000 tons, to Germany immediately. This is 25 per cent above Germany's quota of Rumania’s total oil exports. It was learned that Rumania also had agreed to increase Germany's normal share of oil. Germany has asked for a 5 per cent increase based on the inclusion of the former Czechoslovak provinces of Bohemia and Moravia into the Reich.
