Senator Burke (Dem., Neb), a lead of the measure’s foes, said the vali- dation of the unemployment insurance and old age pensions “knocked the last prop from under the court proposal.” Speaker Bankhead (Dem., Ala.) an Senator Robinson (Dem., Ark.), the majority leader, contended on the other hand that the security rulings would have little effect on the court dispute. Nevertheless many in the capital forecast an eventual compromise, al- though Mr. Roosevelt has given no indication he would yield. Som porters, pointing to the score of 12 victories and no defeats in this term of court, said the president's objectives were safe for the time at least. ‘These four. possibilities received the most discussion: ‘That wage and hour, farm, govern- ment reorganization .and national planning legislation would get prece- fence over the court bill" “-**" ~ That the bill itself would give way to @ constitutional amendment to Compe! reHpemenief iostiser at 70 or That a compromise authorizing the president to increase the supreme court by two justices—or some similar proposal—would forge to the front.

After an- nouncing the birth, Colonel Lind- bergh retreated into silence, de- termined to ensure the privacy of his wife and 13-day-old son. ‘The mother and baby now are convalescing, apparently incog- nito, in a large and airy suite on the seventh floor of “the clinic” in Harley street. The hospital is under a special police guard. So is the Lind- bergh home, the rambling, wall- ed-in “Long Barn” near Weald, Kent. The flying colonel is under- stood to have taken up tem- porary residence in London with his new baby’s only living brother, 4-year-old Jon. The Lindberghs’ first-born, Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. was kidnaped in 1932 from their Hopewell, N. J., home and alain, Members of the staff indicated Mrs, Lindbergh was almost ready to take her son home now.

One is known as the “law of blood” un- der which the country or origin of the parents claims their issue as citizens’ regardless of what country of birth claims new born children as citizens regardless of the nationality of their parents. ‘Thus under American law, the youngest Lindbergh is an Ameri- can citizen. And under British law he is @ British subject. And this dual status is recognized by both nations. After his disclosure, Lindbergh retreated into hiding from even his closest friends who wished to extend congratulations. Reports reaching the embassy indicated Mrs. Lindbergh's health as good. The baby’s name was not known. The parents have six weeks from the date of birth eee to register the fact in Colonel Lindbergh and Mrs. Lindbergh returned home Apr. 9, about a month before the baby’s birth, from a 10 weeks’ aerial tour of Europe and the east.

Emilio Mola’s insurgent army was reported Tuesday to have cap- tured the town of Yurre and a wide region to the north, opening the way for a double ‘thrust against Galda- cano, strategic highway junction southeast of Bilbao and key to the city’s “iron ring” defenses. With two insurgent: columns ham- mering toward 1t, Galdacano seemed destined to be the center of the cru- clal battle for possession of the Basque capital. Verdant hills overlooking Yurre, reverberated to the blasts of mortars and field pieces, as Basque “Gudaris” and their Asturian neighbors strug- gled shoulder to shoulder to hold a “pocket” on the southwestern front. Several thousand troops recently called into action aided the defenders. Basque commanders declared that Galdacano, perhaps the most stra- tegic point on the iron semi-circle of fortifications protecting Bilbao from the north, east and south, had been sufficiently bulwarked to bring Mola’s warriors to a definite halt but con- tinued doggedly to delay this final test. Yurre and Lemona were severely punished by insurgent artillery Mon- day. Shells ripped into the smal! white and blue houses of these towns while refugees scurried in terrified procession along the still open roads toward an already over-populated Bilbao. Gen. Francisco Franco Tuesday broadcast a rejection of Great Britain's plea for an armistice in the civil war and withdrawal of foreign volunteers from Spain. ‘ASSETS INCREASE federal savings and tions North Dakota reported assets in- creased $315,779 and savings $149,612 in the last year.

Shepperd Tuesday announced he was ready to retire as president of the North Dakota Agricultural college whenever a “suitable successor” could be obtained. His desire is to be transferred back to the department of animal husban- dry, where his earlier research activ- ities had gained him national recog- nition. He has been president since Sept. 1, 1928, and has been connected with the institution since Nov. 1, 1893. Members of the alumni association called on Dr. Shepperd Monday as a result of persistent rumors there would be a change at the college after July 1. Dr. Shepperd said that, in the event of his retirement, he would wish to continue in the service of the state and college as president emeritus and associate animal husbandman, a field to which he has devoted his life. “There have been continued and persistent rumors throughout the state since early in the year that a change is contemplated in the office of president,” Dr. Shepperd said. “Such action would not be personally unwelcome to me, My service as pres!- dent has been during some of the most difficult years the institution and the state have had to face. Dur- ing this time it has become neces- sary for me to lay aside almost en- tirely my work in animal husbandry, always my principal interest.” Members of the alumni association are primarily interested, in view of Dr. Shepperd’s announcement, in his successor. The alumni board, in a statement of its position, declared: i “The alumni association, as rep- resented by the board, called.on Dr. Shepperd to discuss the long con- tinued rumors a eee riers preaidency is contemplated. re is to be @ change, the board is anxious that the matter be given open con- sideration immediately and that who- ever succeeds Dr. Shepperd is a man eminently qualified and desirous to on the work of the institution on the high plane on which it has always functioned. “The alumni board stressed the point that qualifications and ability of the highest order would be the’ tests it would apply to any candidate if and in the event its advice were sought.” July 1 marks the close of the term on the board of administration of R. M. Rishworth, whose re-appointment by Gov. William Langer 1s not ex- pected. With the advent of a new administration appointee, the com- Piety pro-administration and pon ly ration an fasten tly of the board after July 1 it has been anticipated that several changes in institutional management might be effected, among them that at the agricultural college. Openly gossiped for some weeks has been the name of Seed Commissioner E. M, Gillig to succeed Dr. Shepperd. ‘What effect his announcement may have on the proposition of Gillig suc- ceeding to the office is not at once clear. The possibility that the board, as now composed, may take advantage of Dr. Shepperd’s proposal to retire voluntarily at any time and name a successor before July 1 was the angle which threw the situation into an un- light. Car License Receipts Now Total $1,152,161 Receipts from motor vehicle licen- ses totaled $1,152,161 Tuesday or $267,- 638 above a year ago, said C. E. Van Horne, state motor vehicle registrar. ‘He reported registrations of 139,637, including 138,085 trucks and passeng- ers comparéd with 103, 858 for the two divisions of a year ago. While registrations fell to 1,500 Monday, Van Horne said he expected they will exceed by 10,000 the 12- month 1936 total, bringing the receipts “well above” last year’s total of $1,- 358,404. ‘ ration of county peace of- ficers in a drive to get all vehicles properly licensed was credited with the increases, the registrar said. 154 Cases Examined at Clinic Saturday One hundred and fifty-four child- ren were examined at the crippled children’s clinic conducted in Bis- marck Saturday under the auspices of the state association of Elks clubs with the ition of the North Dakota Public Welfare board, it was reported Monday. Findings of the clinic will be tabu- lated through the children’s bureau of the board of administratoin and fam- ilies will then be given instructions ‘as to the care of the children. Com- plete returns on the work may be available within two or three weeks, Miss Mary Cashel, county Red Cross nurse, said.

INDUSTRY Agreement Dividing Territory of Two Unions Is No Longer Recognized Cincinnati, May 25.—(?)—The bat- tle between John L. Lewis and Wil- Mam Green, reached into the huge, men’s clothing industry Tuesday when the United Garment Workers declared war on the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. Thomas Rickert, president of the United, a loyal American Federation of Labor union, asserted hig organiza- tion no longer recognized an agree- ment dividing the territory with the Amalgamated, headed by Sidney Hill- man, Lewis’ first lieutenant in the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion. Hillman destroyed the agreement, Rickert said, when he said it was “only a make-shift” and when the Amalgamated started using its own union labels, instead of the United's, in clothes its members made. For many years the Amalgamated was outsdie the AFL. It was admit- ted in 1933 when it agreed to divide the men’s clothing territory with the United, but along with nine other un- fons which helped organize the CIO, the Amalgamated. was suspended for “insurrection” last ; September. FOUR MEN BOOMED FOR CHIEF OF DAY Thom, Brophy, Jorde and Dow Mentioned for Depart- ment Commander Post Four veterans were being prominente ly mentioned Tuesday as candidates for department commander of the dis- abled American war veterans at their state convention in Mandan. Vie Thom of Goodrich, Walter Brophy of Bismarck, C. E. Jorde and Roy Dow, both of Mandan, were the men generally conceded to have the best chance to head the DAV for the coming year. A permanent award for security compensation to disabled veterans was suggested by T. O. Kraabel of Fargo, state veterans service commissioner. Kraabel said he believed all serv- ice connections should be on the same status whether disability resulted in service or resulted from injuries re- ceived in the war. In his discussion of proposed changes in regulations for disabled veterans, he said there was a move- ment for more adequate protection of wives and children when veterans die. “World War veterans are occupying practically all the beds at the Old Soldiers home in Lisbon,” declared Commandant L, B. McLain. He said there are no Civil War veterans there now and Spanish-American war vet- erans are in the minority. C. T. Hoverson, Fargo, manager of the veterans bureau there, charged the preference fetureas of the U. 8. civil service commission act were be-| ing used to deny disabled veterans employment. He cited a case in which | he said the government refused a vet- | eran work as a mail carrier because of partial disability.

MINIMUM $16 WAGE WEEKLY PROPOSED FOR NEW NRA ACT Hearings on Administration’s Legislation Wilt Com- mence Next Tuesday CHILD LABOR ACT DRAFTED All Industries in Interstate Com- merce Will Come Under Provisions Washington, May 25.—()—Chair. man Connery (Dem., Mass.) of the house labor committee arranging for quick consideration of the admin- istration wage and hour bill, ex- pressed a preference Tuesday for set- ng the maximum work week at 30 jours. “Both Chairman Black of the sen- ate labor committee and I are for a 30-hour week,” he said. “If neces- sary, though, I would go as high as 40 hours.” Minimum wage and maximum hour figures were left blank in the bills which the two chairmen introduced Monday after President Roosevelt recommended enactment of labor conditions that “meet rudimentasy standards of decency.” Connery said he would insist on at least a $16 minimum weekly wage for employes engaged in interstate com- merce or producing goods for inter- state shipment. Many Changes Possible Black said, however, he had no definite agreement with the repre- sentative on wage and hour figures. He added there might be many changes in the measure, but Connery predicted congress would approve the bill “just about as it is.” Senate hearings may begin this week. Connery scheduled his hear- ing to start next Tuesday and pre een es Teper’ onthe Bla ae weeks, The measure would exclude frow under “oppressive” labor conditions, such as working employes more hours ingress, using hiring labor and strikebreakers. ka Draw Child Labor Act A senate interstate commerce sub- committee completed meanwhile the rough draft of a separate child labor bill which Chairman Johnson (Dem., Colo.) said fulfilled the president’s recommendations on that point. The president’s labor message brought an expression of satisfaction from John L. Lewis, chairman of the Sones for Industrial Organiza- William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, de- clined to comment until he had studied it. Although the Black-Connery bill provides that all industries in inter- state commerce would have to come up to its standards, a five-member board studying conditons, industry by industry, could set a minimum “fair wage” or maximum “reasonable work week” either higher or lower than the national standards, where local or geographical factors war- ranted, State Commerce Affected The board also could set standards for interstate industries whose prod- ucts affect or compete with goods in interstate trade. The bill provides that the board can set no minimum pay rate in excess of 80 cents an hour or $1,200 @ year. Small industries would be exempt. Agricultural laborers would be ex- cluded from the bill’s provisions along with any person employed in an ex- ecutive, administrative, supervisory or professional capacity.
