7000 Quit. Allis-Chalmers Plant in Milwaukee; End Aircraft Dispute.
: By UNITED PRESS The C. I. O.-United Automobile Workers stopped production on $20,3 , of Government defense orders at the Milwaukee, Wis., plant of the Allis-Chalmers Co. today in ‘8 new phase of their effort to in- . crease labor's .share of defense _ spending. The strike of 7000 workers at Allis-Chalmers brought open dispute to the defense production system after a threatened walkout in the vital West Coast aircraft industry had been averted by a lastminute settlement. Conferees of the U. A. W.-C. I. O. and the Ryan Aeronautical Corp., at San Diego, Cal, announced an agreement on working conditions and wage boosts which would prevent a stalemate in work on $10,500,000 of plane orders for the United States and Great Britain. Harvester Trouble Continues But the Milwaukee action and a . continued strike at the International © Harvester plants at Rock Falls and East Moline, Ill, where quasi-defense work was under way, indicated a general U. A. W. movement for higher pay levels in defense industries. U. A. W. members also voted to strike at International Harvester’s ‘Milwaukee division and another strike election was in process at the company’s Chicago tractor works. . The strike votes were enforcement procedure in the union’s demands for collective bargaining recognition and higher pay scales. ' On another front, U. A. W. President R. J. Thomas, at Detroit, demanded a Congressional investigation of “favoritism” allegedly shown the Ford Motor Co. in the War Department’s award of defense conts.
Harvester Dispute Continues A possible dispute over wages paid by “big steel” was postponed in the east when C. I. O. President Philip Murray and a representative of the U. 8. Stee'. Corp. recessed negotiations over a new contract until Jan. 31 after a four-hour conference. Neither Mr. Murray nor U. S. Steel officials would reveal the exact topics of discussion, but it was understood a 10 per cent increase in present $5 a day basic wages was considered.

Testimony Corroborated by Cook; Officer Doubts Bullet Tests.
(Continued from Page One)
“They said they wanted to: inspect the kitchen,” the cook continued, “I went out and they started a fight. I didn’t see the fight. I only heard it.” The witness did not immediately identily’ the ‘two boys” he said started the fight. 3 Previously, Patrolman Arch Ball sald that in the case of a murder charge he would not use the typ: of tests which Roderic Rae, pclice criminologist, used to determine whether Fred lozzo had fired a gun the night of the fight.
Rae Named Iozzo
Mr. Rae testified at a bail héaring Dec. 6 that his tests showed Fred Iozzo had fired a gun that {night and that Dominic Iozzo and | youl Disher had not. Repeated attempts by the defénse to rule out Mr. Rae's testiniony and fo introduce an F, B. I. repose nullifying this type of test were overruled by Special Judge F.ank A. Srmmes. Palrolman Ball formerly helc the position now held by Mr. Rae. He testified that his opinion of this test had been good until last year and that he had changed his ¢pinion after reading: the F. B. I. report Claim Youth Was 18 The defense also introduced an application for a driver's license dated Sept. 2, 1939, and signed by the slain boy and his father in which the youth’s age was given as 18. The tate has contended throughout the trial that the boy was only 16 at the time of the shooting. Tle judge overruled attempt of the defense to introduce a #tatement of the defendants taken by Sergt. Michael Griffin after the shooting. In that statement Iozzo said that he had dropped his gun and that young Disher had picked it up and shot at Dominic and that Dominic then shot Disher.
Jury Visits Scene
After the State rested its case, the jury of 10 men and two women visited the death scene. A motion for a directed verdict for ace quittal by the defense had been overruled by Judge Symmes. : Admonished against speaking to aanvone concerning the evidence in the case, the jury filed two-hy-two out of the Court House and straggled across the four city WHlocks to the darkened storeroom where Ipzzo had operated his café, the
| Garden of Italy.
On the way, a newsboy hawked an evening newspaper and the jurors turned away. As they walked toward the one-time cafe, thers were remarks of: “That must be the Iozzo jury.’ A crowd gathered as the jury spent about 20 minutes in thie place and then went back to Criminal Court.
Claim Yozzo Shot Boy
The Ioz:io- defense is faced with [tle following testimony offered by the State's 33 witnesses since a Week ago Tuesday: 1. That Iozzo was seen to go to {the cash register while a fight was in progress, get a gun, go to the] rear of the cafe and shoot young Disher. | 2. That Mrs. Tozzo said: “Why (did you do it, papa?” | 3. That the defendant, aifer the (shooting, went to a table where {some of the waitresses were sitting land said: “If any of you saw me with a gun, say that you didn’t.” 4. That, according. to the tests made by Mr. Rae, Fred Ioi#zo had shot .a& gun the night of the shoot-
ling and that Dominic and Disher {| had not.
5. That the gun used in the shooting had been purchased Aug.

RIPPER, 55-33
6 Other ‘Decentralization’ Mezsures Pushed by G. 0. P. in Senate.
(Continued from Page One)
Democratic Governor Henry F. Schricker of his powers. It sets up four divisions of State government,
controlled’ by elected Republican State officials and giving the chief executive only a minority vote on each -bosrd. - Rep. Floward Batman (D. Terre Haute) charged that it was unconstitutionul and warned the majority that “the people of Indiana are watching you today.”
Claims People Want Change
Majority Leader Frank Millis (R. Campbellsburg) defended the measure and said “the people will welme the return of representative ernméant.” Senate measures approved today would revise the State Police, Welfare, Tax and Industrial Boards to remove the Governor's powers, kill the Two Per Cent Club and abolish planning boards. . Batman charged in the House that the Republican “ripper” program was being dictated by ‘a group of lawyers sitting in the Clayvol Hofel.” “Shall democracy be dictated by the ceniral committee of a political party?” he asked. “A political party is not responsible to the people, but we are. This bill is full of holes, but it contains one especially which will thiow it in the laps of the United States Supreme. Court.”
Jroubts U. 8. Approval
He explained that Indiana gets $1,000,000 from the Federal Government, for the State Conservation Departraent and this bill takes that department from the Governor, “which will never be approved by the U. 8. Government.” “The Republican State Committee, gentlemen, is looking down on your actions today,” he said. “But remember, the people of Indiana also are watching, We are voting on one of the most momentous questions ever considered in this House.” Rep. Millis answered that this bill “is merely an attempt to return to the ‘people of Indiana the representz tive government that belongs to then. Despite all the flowery oratory thrown at it, this bill will pass and it will pass as is. “A member of the minority the other day charged that ‘this bill stinks.! Well, gentlemen, this bill ells like a rose to the people as ied to the 1933 McNutt Reorganization Act.”
Charges Rackets Existed
He scored the “rackets” which he charged existed in the state during the last eight years. He quoted Governor Schricker, Senate president [wo years ago, as saying that “next to the liquor racket in the state, the textbook racket is the worst.” > Rep. Millis said the Democrats were inconsistent in their arguments and had made contradictory statements. Under the Police “shakeup” bill, which was passed, 20 to 17, in the Senate after the G. O. P. had forced a halt to debate, a four-man bipartisan board is set up, two members appointed by the Governor and
»
two by the Lieutenant Governor.
e Board appoints the Police Surilitendent and can remove him any time, with or without cause. The Governor may remove board menibers for cause after a public hearing, and Republicans claim this leaves the final power in his hands.
Would Add Police
Democrats have charged repeatedly that the bill is unconstitutiorial and “might throw the ‘entire police personnel into litigation duning a time when it is needed for defense duties.” * They point out that the Governor is charged with seeing that State laws are faithfully obeyed and that control of the Stzte Police is necessary to carry ouf, his oath. The bill also provides for a police force of equal party strength. The present personnel, excepting the Superintendent, will not be disturbed however, new members being added to reach parity. The Tax Board revision, also pessed 29 to 17, sets up a new board of three men, appointed by the Governor, Treasurer and Auditor. Two bills passed unanimously by the Senate would make Road 67 from Indianapolis to Vincennes the “Harrison Memorial Highway” and would permit deduction of deliqguent taxes from the salaries of State employees. * The Senate passed six bills today, party lines showing only on those Ireasures - which would strip the Covernor of his powers. The Senate voted unanimously, 43 to 0, to amend the Corrupt Practices Act to kill the Two Per Cent Club, defunct Democratic campaign fund-raising organization. Harmony also prevailed on the bill io abolish the State Planning Board, passed by a vote of 37 to 9, and a bill sponsored by Senator Ivoger Phillips (D. New Albany) to exempt Indiana citizens who are employed in any state “which assesses a tax on wages from payment of Gross Income Tax in Indiana for the amount which they nay in other states.

JCKSON 26. 0. P. AIMS
Declares State Police and Labor Should Be Left Under Schricker.
BY EARL RICHERT
The G. O. P decentralization program came under fire from another quarter today. Clarence Jackson, executive vice president of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, declared that both the State Police Department and the State Labor Department should be left under the control of. the Governor “if labor peace is to be maintajned.” “I don’t know anyone in our organizatich whe is particularly interested in who is appointed head of the state police or labor departments but they certainly belong under the Governor. 4 “When labor disturbances occur, one man must be responsible. You can’t take time to call some committees together,” he said. “Both departments are linked closely together and should be under the direct: control of the Chief Executive.” The Republican measures now before the Legislature would split control of the State Police between the Governor and Lieutenant Governor and place the State Labor Department under ‘a three-man board composed of the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and State Treasurer. Legislative leaders of both the A. F. of L. and the C. I. O. have declared that they want the Labor Department left under the Governor. They declined to comment, however, on the State Police bill, saying they were not directly interested in who had control of it. Mr. Jackson said that several Republican members of the State Chamber of Commerce had contacted G. O. P. legislators on the State Police Bill “Hut they didn't get an ear.” : “I'm hoping,” he added, “that they will make a change in the bill without some one having to scream about it.” Mr. Jackson, a former state Democratic official, said he was not speaking from a partisan standpoint but in behalf of those interested in labor peace. Several Democratic-sponsored amendments to leave control of the Police Department under the Governor were voted down in the Senate yesterday.

SCHRICKER RACE
HOME IS PUZZLE,
Rumors Fly Faster Than His Plane and All Are Denied.
The mystery of Governor Henry Schricker’s hasty return from Washington was still unsolved today, and rumors flew faster than the plane on which he came home, They included: 1. A Democrat close to Mr. Schricker said that “grape-vine in-
formation” came out of the Republican caucus about midnight Monday that the G. O. P. was planning a “coup” on the Governor's office. 2. Lieutenant’ Governor Charles M. Dawson “gave instructions to the State Police about some labor trouble at Auburn.” (Mr. Dawson denied this, explaing that he turned the request for police aid over to Labor Commissioner Thomas Hutson, a Schricker appointee.) 3. A Republican “plot” to rush the evidence of alleged illegal voting into the Legislature and oust Mr. Schricker before he could return. ° 4. The maneuver to get Mr. Dawson to take over the Governor's office was a bit of factional horse play promoted by one faction of the G. O. P. to embarrass Mr. Dawson. There was nothing but denials on all sides. Governor Schricker said he “got a call Monday night advising me of certain activities in connection with the State Government,” but added on his return. “the reports did not

prove to be serious.”

FOR HIGH COURT Jackson Appears Favored To Succeed McReynolds,
Foe of New Deal Laws.

‘lon Feb. 3.
The Justice, who voted against many New Deal- laws, pointed out to the President that he had served on the high bench continuously since 1914, Soon after receiving Mr. Mc= Reynold’s letter the President dice tated a brief reply, congratulating the elderly Justice on his long serve ice, and wishing him “many years of health and happiness.” The new vacancy gives Mr, Roosevelt the chance to place more justices on the Court than any other President except George Washington and William Howard Taft. i ’ His background is that of the son of a well-to-do doctor born in Elk--on, Ky. Feb. 3, 1862. He was a brilliant student at Vanderbilt Uni« versity and the Universtiy of Virginia. He developed a successful law practice at Nashvile, Tenn., stepped into the Attorney General's Cabinet post under Woodrow Wilson and in 1914 was elevated to the Supreme Court,
Once Known as Liberal
Then he was known as a “liberal.” As special Government attorney in the Theodore Roosevelt Ad istra« tion he had prosecuted with vigor and ability numerous anti-trust cases and had his views sustained by the Court he later joined. _ But in recent years his Constitutional outlook has been described as “conservative,” While New Deal legislative reforms were being tested, Mr, McReynolds voted against validity of every one, even’ splitting with Mr, Van Devanter, Mr. Sutherland and Mr. Butler to oppose the Tennessee Valley Authority. In the 1939-40 term of Court he dissented from the majority more often than any other Justice. Climax to. his opposition stand came in the famous gold clause cases of 1935 when he dissented with his three colleagues from the majority upholding the Government. As he concluded reading the prepared dissent, with an angry gesture he tossed aside the manuscript and shouted: “The Constitution is gone!” The Constitution, he believes, was conceived as a union of states, re= serving definite rights to the states. Thus he watched with alarm the trend toward increasing power in the national Government at Wash«
