ECONOMIC ISOLATION ASSAILED BY HULL Bill Giving President Broad Au- thority for Commercial Ac- cords Is Awaited. The American Government, rising to new leadership in world affairs, yester- day completed its first step im the campaign to break down world trade barrjers through sending out to.the last of 11 nations bids to dispatch their leading statesmen to confer with Presi- dent Roosevelt. . ‘This job done, Secretary Hull in an emphatic declaration to newspaper men reasserted the break being made with this Government's policy of the past doz- en years. He blamed past administra- tions for leading the world into policies | of economic nationalism, charging to them much of the responsibility for present paralysis of commerce around the globe. It is high time, he said, for the United States to meet its responsibility by checking the course of economic isolation. When he spoke invitations had just been dispatched to the neigh- bor nations of Mexico and Canada to bave their ch.ef statesmen came to Washington to join in finding a way to real results out of the coming Lon- lon Economic Conference. ‘The bids, transmitted verbally by Undersecretary Wil Phillips, com- leted the list of nal which will be vited to send special representatives and brought the total to 11.

Ala, April 8—While a jury delibérated the fate of Heywood Patterson, first of nine colored youths to be retried on charges of attacking two white girls near Scottsboro, Ala., two years ago, Judge James E. Horton granted severances for six others, and Charlle Weems was arraigned for the next trial. The jury was ordered locked up for the night at 11:30 pm. Judge Horton instructed the jury that he would re- ceive a verdict tomorrow, setting 10 a.m. as the time for the court to reconvene. A plea of “not guilty” was entered for Weehs and his trial was set for April 17, ,And&hnhawwldmkl g believe my life is in danger nn‘:'mm Judge Jnmufl"it.

Contridictions Cited. The judge told the jury it must con- sider the contradictory testimony of Mrs. Victorla Price and Ruby Bates, the girl principals in the 2-year-old case that commanded international at- tention since the women told a story of attacks aboard a freight train they were riding—Alabama bound from Tennessee. Mrs. Price testified for the State and sald she was assaulted by Patterson. Ruby, who two years ago sali she also was assaulted, repudiated this oath and swore this time she was not molested by the colored men.and added that she did not see Mrs. Price harmed. Ruby is the witness who has been missing, and it was she who returned dramatically to the court room two days ago with a new Spring outfit and & new story. She has been in New York, she said, where Dr. Harry Emer- son Fosdick had counseled her to go back home and “tell the truth.” Ruby, the judge said, “admitted on the stand she perjured herself.” Mrs. Price has utlflux‘:fi steadfastly to that she was attacked by Negroes, National Gunwmen of Alabama were on duty as the case was given to the Jury. There have been rumors of mobs and cries of prejudice during the trial. “Framed” Testimony Charged. Each sidé sought in arguments to pick weak spots in the other's presen- tation.

The mep are given medical examinations and denim work outfits as soon as they arrive. For the first few days the training will con- sist of calesthenics. There will be no military drill. This is prohibited in the order. Many of the recruits are not ing the best of physical shape. They are soft from idleness. Some have suffered from actual privation. But all are young and it is expected that their muscles will respdnd rapidly to the set- ting-up exercises under the direction of the skilled Fort Washington non-coms. Some will be put in the kitchen and others will wait on tables. They will learn something about Army cookery. ‘The majority in a few days will be put to work around the fort, doing ap- proximately the same work they will do in the forests. It is expected that they will put the roads of the post in first-class shmpe. There is a good deal of underbrush on the reservation which will be cleaned up.
