PELLEY MEETS WITH STARNES
BEFORE HEARING
Silver Shirt Leader to Take Dies Committee Stand Later Today.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (U. P.) — Acting Chairman Joe Starnes (D. Ala), of the Dies Committee, today held a long private conference with Wililam Dudley Pelley, leader of the Silver Shirts Rep. Noah M. Mason (R. TI), another Dies Committee member, sat in on the session held in the office of Chairman Martin Dies (D. Tex.), who is ill at his home. Other Committee members said they had no information on the meeting. Rep. Starnes announced that the Committee would hear Mr. Pelley in open session this afternoon. He said he then would issue a statement “so clear, so practical, and so explicit nobody can misunderstand it.”
Declines Photos, Statements
He and Rep. Mason declined to be Photographed with Mr. Pelley after the conference, and Rep. Starnes would make no statement. Mr. Pelley appeared dramatically Yesterday to testify he had no con“nection with letters which purported to connect him with Rep. Dies and which had been employed by Rep. Frank Hook (D. Mich), in an at-
tack on Rep. Dies. Prior to yester-|
day, Mr. Pelley had been hunted for six months by the Dies Committee for questioning concerning alleged Fascist activities. After Mr. Pelley told the Dies and House Rules Committees that the letters were forged. Rep. Hook ob‘tained permission to withdraw his statement, including his reference to the letters, from the permanent Congressional Record. Robert Barker, former committee investigator, who looked into the Pelley organization, will not reach Washington until tomorrow. - Sheriff Holds Warrant Meanwhile Sheriff Laurence E. Brown of Ashville, N. C., requested the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Washington police to arrest Mr. Pelley as soon as he con- | cludes his testimony Dies Committee. Mr. Pelley charged in Asheville with viola-| tion of the probation provisions of his conviction in 1935 for breaking the blue sky laws.
Several angles in the controversy |
over the Dies Committee ended: quickly after Mr. Pelley walked unannounced into committee offices yesterday and denounced as forgeries letters purportedly bearing his signature which were placed in the Congressional Record by Rep. Frank Hook (D. Mich.). The forged letters hinted that there was an understanding between Rep. Dies and Mr. Pelley that the Committee would not investigate the Silver Shirts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (U. P.).— C. I. O. president John L. Lewis today charged that. Wagner Act amendments sponsored by the ‘American Federation of Labor were prepared with the advice and aid of three attorneys who have represented “flagrant violators” of the act.

Mr. Murray read a statement by Mr. Lewis, who was unable to appear personally before the committee.

Mr. Garner broke a 34-10-34 tie in the Senate yesterday on an amendment to the Independent Offices Appropriation Bill to cut $115,259 from the Civil Aeronautics Authority. He voted for the amendment, and later told Senators: ‘ “When it comes to a vote to reduce appropriations, I vote ‘aye’ When it comes to a vote to increase appropriations, I vote ‘No’.”

She worked hard and often, piling one virtuoso feat upon another as the progra pirouettes, toe dancing, amazing backward glides, all the tricks of the skater’s art and more were hers. , Seen first in the classic patterns of “Les Sylphides,” Miss Henie treated her spectators to the rhumba, a Gypsy [dance to the music of Enesco’s First Rumanian Rhapsody (with Harrison Thomson), the tango (with Stewart Reburn) and finally as the Doll bn the Candy Box in the charming fantasy which closed the performance, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Se The tango stopped the show, and three encores were skated beforé the audience would let the program proceed. And lest anyone should

With it all Miss Henie was charming, vivacious and altogether captivating. Those—if any—who came in the hope of seeing her fall on her $35 satin panties, remained to cheer. It was a complete triumph, ‘Personal and otherwise. One thing the crowd didn't bare
gain for was the excellent perform-

much time as the show itself to do;
even partial justice to the colorful costumes, startling precision and individual brilliance of the troupe. Harry Losee; who designed and staged the revue, deserves a column of grateful adjectives. There was some delicious comedy skating by Miss Mary Taylor and Bert Clark, Irving Gregg and the team of Sisk| and Lyman, who had to respond with three encores themselves. And the young ladies of the ensemble are comely enough to win jobs from Earl Carroll for just standing around. In addition, of course, they skate stunningly. In short, Miss Henie and her revue are worth not only your time and money, but also the trouble of conniving that seems necessary to secure a ticket to one of the remaining performances.

More than 600 barbers voted almost unanimously for the agreement at a union-sponsored meeting last night, George R. Smith, barber union secretary, said today. Provisions of the new agreement regarding a price scale would be identical with the earlier agree-
