Meanwhile, it was reported yesterday that 30 tentative codes providing for increases in wages and greater employ- ment had been submitted to Johnson during the week. However, the 10 major industries upon which Johnson counted to lead in the industrial regu- lation movement were not prominent in the list of those reported to have bmitted covenants. ] mMembch of the National Retail Dry Goods Association reported they had received coples of the tentative code which would be submitted to the ad- ministration this week.

RABBI MEYER BERLIN, President of the World Mizrachi Or- ganization, who will address a Zionist mass meeting Wednesday at 8 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center. The meeting will be held under auspices of the Washington Mizrachi group. One of the founders of the American Miz- rachi movement, Rabbi Berlin came to this country at the outbreak of the World War and has been a leader in the Central Relief Committee, the Yeshi- vath Rabbi Isaac Elchonon, a tal- mudic college; the Hebrew Teachers’ Institute and the Yeshivah College.

The code also stipulates that it will be unfair competition for any dealer to sell any merchandise at less than| the net invoice cost plus 10 per cent | to insure that labor cost shall at least be partially covered. Another provision guards against advertising whoch would misrepresent merchandise, values or services. Another section stipulates that re- tailers shall be free to advertise their own goods, their own service and their own prices, but references to goods.‘ services or prices of competing retailers shall be regarded as unfair practice. | Underselling Forbidden. | Underselling and to offer for sale| any product of a penal institution are | included in the provisions. | In Chicago, the coal operators from 11 Middle Western States were consid- ering what minimum wage and maxi- mum hour s to present to Johnson | and in New York steel operators were | conferring upon the question. ‘There were definite indications, | though, that many industrial leaders | preferred to await the hearings upon | textiles before completing their codes. | From hearing, over which Johnson | himself is to preside, they hope to get | a clear-cut idea of the administration’s attitude, particularly as to what busi- ness is to obtain as compensation for| increasing wages and spreading employ- ment through shortened work weeks.

Asks Workers to Unite. William Green, president of lhei American Federation of Labor, made public his letter, appealing to unor-| ganized workers of the Nation to unite | to obtain “all the rights and benefits” of the national recovery legislation. “The hour has arrived when labor | can be free to organize,” he said. “Con- gress has established your legal right to organize. Workers everywhere should avail themselves of the -opportunity.” Green referred to the provision that | labor was entitled to the right of bar-|the new conditions until time to pre-| gaining collectively, and that no bar| should be raised against attempts to organize employes in any industry Meanwhile, the public works admin- | sstration wound up its first full week | of sctivity with plans for widespread | future doings to scatter jobs through- | out _the land. | Already it had allocated $638,000,000 | for highways and battleships.

By the Associated Press. The Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration yesterday ended its handling of self-liquidating loans by approving eight, totaling $4,121,200, which are designed to give employment to more than 2,000 men. ‘The corporation on Monday loses its self-liquidating loan division of the newly organized public works section of the Government. Because of this the corporation tried | during the week to clear its docket of all self-liquidating loans that could be | St completed. As a result, 26 loans, total- ing approximately $9,000,000, were made for projects which, it was esti- mated, will supply work for nearly 4,000 men. Yesterday's loans ranged from one of $50,000 to the city of Paducah, Ky., for building a factory which will give work to 1,500 men and take a factory out of a prison where convicts have been making shirts and play suits, to $3,200,000 to the Saratoga Springs Au- thority of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., to develop that great health resort. A loan of $15,000 was made to the town of Heber, in the Imperial Valley of California, for construction of & | municipal water works to compete with | a private firm, Other loans included $163,000 to | columbia, 8. C., for the building of an | of | athletic stadium and a water storage| tank; $225,000 for a bridge across La- guna Madre, between Port Isabel, Tex., and Padre Island, lying off the coast of Texas; $255,000 to the Country Ur- ban Water Co. of Kansas City to_sup- ply & new water system in several Kan- sas City suburbs, and $213,200 to the Denver Produce Mark: produce market at Denver, Colo. COMMERCE FUNDS SLASHED $3,200,000 FOR COMING YEAR . new fiscal year Saturday, various oth- er establishments are not expected to get set for a couple of weeks, for they will not actually come down to the point of being confronted with pare the midmonth pay roll for the first half of July. Generally, there is an inclination to apply furloughs, which, of course, amount to additional pay cuts above the 15 per cent fixed in April, but the ax has gone so deeply in many instances that it will not be possible to spread the work. Under these circumstances, married workers, and those eligible for the maximum retirement pay, are the first hit. Face Uncertain Future. Meanwhile, employes “blanketed in” under civil service in the past 12 years are facing an uncertain future in view of the known effort that will be made to have President Roosevelt, on his re- turn, issue another executive order can- celing those under which these workers were brought into the classified service. It was made known yesterday that the civil service will institute no study of these cases until and unless the President directs it. There have been inferences that some members of Con- gress have sought to have the commis- sion embark on such a survey, but there is no inclination there to initiate a move of this kind.

Industrial Organizations See Advantage of Opening Headgquarters Here. ‘The Capital today finds itself sudden- ly thrust by the Government into a position of leadership in the industrial life of the Nation. As such, trade officials point out, it is claiming the attention of every field of endeavor, and soon may expect to be the headquarters city for more organi- zations doing work, national in scope, than any other city in the country. From a civic standpoint, Washington has been quick to realize the advantages of this trend, and the Greater National Capital Committee of the Washington Board of Trade, is already hard at work on a program of encouraging national groups to establish headquarters here. Other civic groups, including the Wash- ington Chamber of Commerce, also are taking steps to give further inducement to these organizations. Hear of Advantages. ‘The majority of national trade asso- ciations were given an insight into the advantages of Washington as a head- quarters city when the recent United States Chamber 6f Commerce Conven- tion, drawing delegates from all over the country and representing scores of trade groups, was held here. | President Roosevelt, speaking at one of the asessions of this convention, stressed the important position trade associations were destined to occupy and the increase in their work which would be an outgrowth of the “new deal.” Commenting on the exceptional ad- tages offered here for these organi- zations, Curtis Hodges, executive direc- tor of the Greater National Capital Committee, sald yesterday that Wash- ington, because of its opportunities for contacts with Government departments |and divisions, and for quick compila- | tion of facts essential to various indus- tries, has always been a desirable cen- ter for trade groups and other organi- zations of the kind. Several hundred organizations have headquarters or branch offices in the city now, he pointed out, and 23 of these have established themselves here during the last two years, Contact Trade Bodies. “Washington business firms,” he said, “are cognizant of what may be termed this new relationship between industry and the Government. Many business houses here have been contacting trade organizations over the country with a view to attracting more organizations to this city.” The Greater National Capital Com- | mittee, which specializes in such work, has been engaged during the last two weeks in compiling facts pointing out advantages of the city for organization hudq::emn These facts, Hodges said, have been assembled in a booklet, which will go forward next week to 2,700 trade N.:‘d d.hn organizations in the United ‘The committee has received letters from trade organizations which have recently been established here com- mending advantages in Washington.

Wdodruff, conferred yester- | day with Senator Connally, Democrat, of Texas, chairman of the Public Bufld- ings Commission, at the Capitol, about the prospective shift that will rewrite the map of downtown Washington, as far as the location of Government agencies goes. The chief co-ordinator’s office, the Federal Radio Commission and the Vet- erans’ Administration are to be moved out of the Interior Department Build- ing to make room for the Public Works | Administration, | Buildings and Public Parks and the Bureau of Mines. Into the new Depart- ment of Commerce Building will go the Federal Radio Commission, the Shipping Board and the organization of Brig. Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, a - istrator for industrial control. s Veterans' Administration units will go into the Arlington Building, Vermont avenue and H street. It is expected that the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks will be one of the last agencies of this group to be shifted, and when this occurs, it will leave the Navy Building. Other prospective moves are looming, but the Government authorities are not yet ready to make an announcement.

She pointed out also that while there is no prospect of an immediate change in the 15 per cent Federal pay cut, if the commodity price level takes on a steady upward trend during the next six months it would call for a modification downward of the amount of the pay slash after January 1. Review at Intervals. ‘The economy law, under which the President has fixed the cut at 15 per cent for the present, was so written as to make possible a review of the per- centage at six-month intervals, on the basis of any fluctuations which may occur in the level of commodity prices. After about three months of the new fiscal year have gone by, Miss McNally believes Uncle Sam’s collection and in- spection agencies, such as internal revenue, customs, immigration and steamboat services, are going to find it necessary to call back employes or to make new appointments. Discussing the outlook in regard to payless furloughs, Miss McNally said she doubted whether on the average employes will have more than two weeks of such furlough in the first six months of the fiscal year. Limit Seen to Dismissals. She predicted that “outside of the Commerce Department there will be very few dismissals, and those in Com- merce will have the kind of background fitting them for opportunities in the new emergency places.” ing recently from congressional circles that Library of Congress positions, which are not under civil service, be | treated as patronage, Miss McNally de- | clared it would be a mistake to bring about a large turnover in personnel in that institution. She pointed out that a great many of the positions in the Library represent specialized and technical requirements. VETERANS MAY OMIT CASH PLEA AT SESSION Consideration Given Government's Difficult Situation, Says Na- tional Adjutant Corbly. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 24.—Feel- ing the Federal Government is not now in a position to pay the soldiers’ bonus, the Disabled American Veterans of the World War may make no request for a cash payment at their 1933 convention, National Adjt. Vivian D. Corbly of Cin- cinnati said yesterday. If they fail to advocate cash payment of the bonus this year, it will be the first time in the or- ganization’s history that the annual convention has not taken such a stand. Corbly predicted, however, that the tion's economy program insofar as it affects reductions in appropriations for veterans disabled in connection with service. ‘The veterans feel now, as al- ways, that service-connected disability cases should be cared for first. ‘The annual convention of the Ohio department was a preliminary to the opening of business sessions for the national organization on Monday.

Nearly 150 representatives of the sugar industry are here in advance of a conference called for Tuesday by ad- ministrators of ‘he farm act to discuss methods of helping that branch of agriculture. In addition to representatives of do- mestic cane and heet growers and man- ufacturers, administrators invited rep- resentatives of producers and refiners in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, the Virgin Islands and Cuba. Dr. John Lee Coulter, member of the Tariff Commission, who has been asked to prepare the sugar program, will con- duct the meeting and subsequent ne- gotiations which the department said yesterday it hopes “will open a way to- ward a solution of the problems of the industry, recently hard pressed by low- ering sugar prices.” Will Draft Agreement. Drafting of a trade marketing agree- ment, which may employ an option plan, is the method oven to adminis- trators in applying the farm act to sugar. - The Roosevelt administration has decided to withhold action in the re~ | cent tariff investigation of sugar pend- | ing the agreement which administrators hope to put into effect before Fall mar- keting, which begins in August. Each group represented at the con- ference will be given an opportunity to present its theory of solving the prob- lems. American refiners of Cuban sugar, with plants along the Atlantic Seaboard and the Gulf of Mexico, also will attend the meeting. They desire to restore part of their lost business of refining Cuban sugar. There has been a sharp increase in recent years in the }isrlnm:lnt of Cuban sugar refined on the ands. ‘Will Set Up Committees. “After this conference, tors said in a statement, “it is proposed that there will be set up committees to iron out regional and other con- flicting differences and present recom- mendations on their particular phases of the general industry. “When these committees have com- pleted their findings and indicated a basic agreement, a formal hearing, as provided by the act, will be called and the committee recommendations with other evidence will be recorded for final review by Administrator George N. , Co-administrator _Charles J. Brand and Dr. Coulter, who will make recommendations to Secretary Wallace on the feasibility of controlling cane and beet production and sugar process- m% and distribution under terms of the act.” —_— WAR ON PRAIRIE DOGS DECLARED IN NEBRASKA By the Associated Press. LINCOLN, Nebr, June 24—Ne- braska's conservation army has declared war on a prairie dog “town” of a quar- ter million inhabitants. The town, 16 miles northeast of Chadron, is the largest in Nebraska and Clayton Watkins, State forester, plan- ning the offensive, believes it may be the biggest in the country. Extending into South Dakota, it occuples 12,000 acres of land—much of which would grow good alfalfa if rid of the dogs. Bearing pails of poison oats and stakes to mark the progress of their offensive, 25 recruits in the conserva- tion army will start their campaign about two weeks from now. Watkins thinks the job will be done in four months. The prairie dog is a dog in name only. It's a rodent about the size of a rabbit and it tunnels into the ground. Marriage Licenses. od N. M.

The State Department agreed yes- terday to review anew the case of James E. Welch of Shreveport, La., who since 1931 has been seeking aid of the Government in his endeavor to recover custody of his 4-year-old daugh- ter, Irma Francisca, placed by a Vene- zueland court under the care of a Ciu- dad Bolivar family. Welch, despite the court’s ruling in his favor and the subsequent placing of the child in custody of a family named by him, claimed the Venezuelan government had opposed his efforts to gain possession of the child. In this effort he fought in the courts against the girl's mother. The child, placed in custody of Do- mingo Savelli in 1929, is claimed by the mother to be of Venezuelan na- | tionality, but Welch never has relaxed | his contention that she is an Ameri- | can national. On this ground he ap-| pealed to the State Department during Secretary Stimson’s term of office. ' The department, which now has| agreed to examine the case further, in- | sisted Welch legally could have the, child whenever he desired to go to ! Venezuela, or to give the necessary instructions to his attorney there. Officials also agreed to arrange to insure his security in Venezuela, de- spite his expressed fears that his safety might be endangered. | ‘Welch also sought damages from the | Venezuelan government for personal in- Juries resulting from his imprisonment | on_criminal c , dismissed in the | com. growing out of the custody. liti- gation.
