BROWNSVILLE, Pa., August 7.—The | Federal Government today began an in- quiry into alleged Communistic activi- ties in the soft coal flelds as thousands of striking miners refused to return to work under the truce called by Presi- dent Roosevelt. Lloyd W. Bryan, assistant United States attorney for the Western district of Pennsylvenia, said pamphlets have been circulated among the miners as- serting that officers of the United Mine Workers and President Roosevelt were “betraying” the workers’ cause. Bryan declared the circulars bear the ! name of the National Miners' Union, | which, he said, has been decreed by the courts' to be a Communistic organiza- | tion, affiliated with the Trade Unioni| | Unity League.

[LITTLEPAGE COMMANDS THE VOLUNTEER FORCES Yaden, Owen and CoHiflower Named as Aides to Bring Code Compliance. Washington's N. R. A. army—organ- ized along military lines for an aggres- sive assault on depression and unem- ployment—was formed today by the leading trade and civic groups of the Capital. ‘Thomas P. Littlepage, president of the Washington Chamber of Com- merce, is general in command of this voluntary army. Three colonels, who will direct campaigns in three separate departments, are Claude W. Owen, president of the Board of Trade; James G. Yaden, prestdent of the Federation of Citizens’ Associations, and James E. Colliflower, president of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association. A lieu- tenant general, to be selected later from the ranks of Washington's feminine leaders, will be second in command. This organization was formed at a meeting of civic leaders in the Wash- ington Board of Trade offices today. Immediately following the naming of the principal officers of the campaign army, the group went into executive session to discuss selection of majors for each division, who in turn will name campaign teams, each directed by a captain.

At the same meeting, the trade bodies voted to request the Secretary of Com- merce to name a recovery board of the District of Columbia, which was omitted from the list of States and geographical districts for which these boards were named by the National Recovery Ad- ministration last Tuesday. Secretary Roper, in a ccmmunication to the leaders of the trade groups, re- quested an_ expression from them as to whether a board for the District should be named. In the cases of State or- ganizations, campaign armies usually are set up under these boards.

Soong, who headed the Chinese delegation at the London Econol Conference. and the week end visit of Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, who headed the American dele- gation at that conference. President Roosevelt, for the moment, so to speak, has turned his attention from the mo- | mentous matters of domestic policy to | those bearing upon this country’s for- eign relations. Dr. Soong’s call upon President Roose- velt was described at the Summer White House as being more or less of a courtesy visit, but there is reason to know that Mr. Roosevelt is anxious to hear the version of this distinguished Chinese statesman regarding the Lon- don Conference. Also, China recently obtained a $40,000,000 loan from the R. F. C. Dr. Socng has still further proposals to make in the ure of business rela- tions between these two countries. Following Secretary of State Hull's visit at Krum Elbow, which made it possible for him and the President to spend many hours in intimate confer- ence and to cover a very wide fleld relating to our relations with other countries of the world, the impression has been gained that the administra- tion is all primed to bring about trade alliances with the nations of this hemisphere. President Roosevelt is known to be especially anxious to bring these alliances to a successful conclu- sion as soon as possible. The relations of this country and the | countries of Central and South America are known to have been discussed freely and at length by the President and his State Department head. It is known also that they went very thoroughly into the question of bilateral trade agreements and trade alliances and the " (Cofttinued on Page 2, Column 4) GANDHI’S AIDE HELD MADRAS, India.

Manush doubled and Cronin dropped a single in short center to drive in two more runs. Then the Yanks tapped Crowder steadily to get within a run of the Na- tionals and bring Russell to the start- ing pitcher’s relief.

Singles by Crosetti and Combs with Van Atta's sacrifize sandwiched got a run in the fourth, and eliminated Crowder. A wild throw by Kuhel and Ruth’s walk then filled the bases, but the best Gehrig could get off Russell was a pop that Myer took and Chapman hoisted out. Then Russell held the Yanks until the ninth.
