NEW YORK, June 12 (U. P)).— Charles Chaplin today won an injunction in Federal Court restraining Life Magazine from distributing its next issue shortly after he had filed a $1,000,000 damage suit against the magazine for printing a full page picture of himself in the newest film “The Dictator.” Federal Judge John C. Knox. ruled that the injunction would not apply ‘to 1,000,000 copies of Life which already’ have been distributed - to: newsdealers dated June 17 for sale Friday.. But he held that the magazine company could nct release an. additional 1,200,000 ‘copies now In its Possession. Chaplin's Somplaia stated that advanced publication of the picture - would damage prospective profits. For 25 years, he stated, he never had failed to make at least $500,000 on a picture and that he expected to make more than $5,000,000 from the new film on which he already has spent $1,000,000 although it is not yet completed. The picture in Life shows Chaplin wearing a military cap with an insignia of two X’s—"Dictator of ‘the double- -Cross. "

night would suffice to complete the
t \'work now before Congress.
The * United Press reported : last week that Mr«~ Roosevelt saw no situation at that ‘time requiring Congress to remain in session and that he had suggested that failure to adjourn would offer an opportunity to make speeches which would not necessarily be vital to defense. Virginia and Oklahoma's Democratic Congressional delegations
.thave formally indorsed remaining
in session. Virginia is among the few—perhaps it ‘stands alone—Democratic states likely to oppose a
third . term renomination of Mr.
Roosevelt at Chicago next month. A scattering of other Democrats has balked. at early adjournment.
Hatch Advocates Busy The bloc system of legislation also
against sending Congress home in the midst of international and domestic emergency, Advocates of extending the Hatch “Clean Politics”
Bill’ to certain categories of state employees want a: vote on that question. They may join with advocates of the Logan-Walter Bill to curb the - powers of administrative agencies, advocates of national labor relations and ‘wages -and- - hours amendments in a drive’ to keep Congress here to dispose of those issues.” - Another ‘group denounces
‘the ~ proposed $1,000,000,000-a-year
tax increase as a‘ stop gap sugar plum and demands that Congress remain in session to overhaul -the entire tax structure, consider excess profits taxation and provide greater emergency revenue for national defense.
that Mr. Roosevelt wants Congress to complete the immediate emergency legislative program and depart quickly to safeguard various
{New Deal reform, measures from
amendment, notably bills dealing
with labor.
Martin Issues Statement
House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin. Jr. said Congress should
tasks: “First, keep an eye on emergency
developments and enact legislation
it may on its own initiative .defermine to be reasonable, thereby avoiding giving the President'blank check appropriations and delegat-
{ing further extraordinary authority {to him.
“Second, ‘there are items of legislation that should be disposed of; such as the Logan-Walter Bill in the Senate, transportation and other matters. But there zlso are the bills now being rushed through too quickly, like this tax bill. Taxes should be explored further and the possibility of an excess profits tax be considered.” Some members believe the dispute finally may be decided by a recess agreement which would permit Congress to meet from time to time or, perhaps, recess over
the four-week period of national convention activity.
