Mr. Roosevelt has been suffering from a cold most of the week. ; Today the White House physician, Dr. Ross T. McIntyre, found the chief executive had a one-degree fever and that his cold had become more severe. He recommended that he cancel all engagements and remain in the White House proper for the day. Senator Yobert F. Wagner (D. N. Y.), author of the law, and the two New Dealers who dissented from the Smith Committee report-—Reps. Arthur D. Healey (D. Mass) and Abe Murdock (D. Utah)—have offered to support amendments which would add two members to the present, board of Chairman J. Warren

President William Green said that the Smith So mittee had “clearly established” A PF. of L. charges of maladministration against the Board. “Our appeal to Congress is to amend and change the administrative features of the act and policies of the Labor Relations Board without impairing its fundamentals so that the labor relations act will be administered fairly to all, just to labor and industry and in accordance with its spirit and letter,” Mr Green said. He urged these amendments: “Reconstruction” of the | Javor Board. Give employers the right - petition for elections “under certain conditions.” Abolition of the Board’s power to invalidate contracts “honestly and justly negotiated through collective bargaining.” Mandatory vote of craft employees to determine whether they wish separate representation or inclusion in a plant-wide bargaining unit.

JUDGE RULES SELF OUT OF BIOFF CASE

CHICAGO, March 15 (U. P.).— Chief Justice John Prystalski of the Cook County Criminal Court

today declined to take jurisdiction in an appeal by William Bioff, film

corpus which would have freed him from 18-year-old pandering charges. , “This court has no jurisdiction to release the relator (Bioff),” Judge Prystalski said. “It is a matter for executive clemency. This court has no pardoning power. That is. in the hands of the Executive Department. This is a matter for the Executive Department.” He dismissed Bioff’s appeal for a writ but at the request of State Senator Abe Marovitz, Bioff's lawyer, he agreed not to enter the ruling until March 25 in order to give counsel time to decide on further action." Mr. Marovitz presumably wanted time in which to choose between further appeals to the courts—he can ask any state or Federal court including the Supreme Court of the United States for a. writ of habeas corpus—or an appeal to Governor Henry Horner for execuoe clemency as suggested by the udge.

Mr. Rosemarin, rescued by a tug, had told police he was not certain of his passenger’s identity and related a story of a frenzied battle which started 3000 feet above lower Manhattan's financial district in the cramped cabin of the dual control plane. The passenger, Mr. Rosemarin said, seized the stick on his side of the cabin and attempted to put the plane into a dive which would have crashed it in the purlieus of Wall Street. The pilot said he fought to regain control and managed to keep the plane aloft until it was over the water.

Mr. Rosemarin, suffering from submersion, exposure, cuts and bruises, had been taken to the Jersey City Medical Center and held for a time under $5000 bail as a “fugitive from justice.” - Today, however, he was released from the hospital and taken to Staten Island for further questioning about the crash. Mr. Eisenberg's body bore a cut over the right eye which police said may have been inflicted when Mr. Rosemarin, in attempting to break his grip on the controls, struck him with a pair of pliers.
