ROOSFVELT OV 10 END ADES RET Moffett and Ickes Confer at White House and Deny Trouble. (Continued From First Page.) were signs, nevertheless, that Presi- dent Roosevelt had communicated with them when their cifferences be- came public. Moffett Follows Ickes. Ickes arrived at the executive office shortly after 10 am. He literally ran through the lobby to the office of Stephen Early, one of the presidential secretaries. Thirty minutes later Moffett entered Early's office. ‘When the conference broke up, Ickes and Straus were the first to leave. Moffett, his florid complexion almost gray, left a moment later. They met again on the front porch of the White House and rode away in the same automobile. There have been indications in recent days that Ickes and Harry Hopkins, the relief administrator, did not see completely eye to eye on all) points. Recently in a magazine article, Ickes contended that enlargement of the P. W. A. program might result in disappearance of the need for relief from other agencies. This assertion 1s known to be contrary to the belief of Hopkins and his aides that even though every construction worker were taken off relief rolls, it world not re- move several classes of persons. in- cluding women and so-called white- collar workers. Statement Is Issued. Shortly after Ickes and Moffett left the White House yesterday a mimeo- graphed statement was issued, con- taining the following “It seems a pity that either mis- interpretation or a desire to stir up trouble where no trouble exists should have given rise to stories which create the impression that there is a diver- gence of views between the Housing Administration and the Public Works Administration. “No conflict or overlapping exists. “We met today at the suggestion of each of us. It was the first occa- sion we had to sit down together and discuss the jurisdictions of our re- spective administrations. We found that we were in substantial accord on what we considered to be the policy of the administration, both as to public works and as to the housing administration. Conspiracy Is Seen. “We suspect that there is a disposi- tion in certain quarters to make it appear that there is a difference of opinion between us. We decline to furnish the material for a Roman holiday for those who are trying to create this impression.” A wide ferment was created by Moffett's statements Priday, as con- trasted to those of Ickes ¢he day be- fore. What reaction Ickes received to his Government-financed housing plan was not made known at P. W. A. headquarters. Other administration quarters yes- terday, however, were the recipients of a batch of telegrams and telephone calls, applauding Moffett's statements and asking what could be done to prevent Government competition with a private housing program. The United States Conference of Mayors at Chicago, however, had adopted a resolution backing Ickes’ demand for an increase in the public works program as the “best stimulus to recovery.” Just what went on behind the locked doors of Early's office at the White House nobody would disclose after the conference. There were in- dications of a four-way telephonic conference between the President at Warm Springs and his three aides, Ickes Announces Speed. Moffett said that if Ickes confined his program to slum clearance, sub- sistence homesteads and rural homes where private capital would not help, it would work out all right. An hour or so after he left the White House yesterday Ickes an- nounced the P. W. A. slum clearance and low-cost housing program now y was picking up speed. Ickes announced bids would be in- vited tomorrow for the first Federal low-cost project to reach the con- struction stage—the Techwood de- velopment in Atlanta. There were numerous other build- ing and housing developments dur- ing the day, also. From MofTett's of- fice came a statement that after an intensive course in real estate valuat- ing. 58 architects and real estate ex- perts from all over the country had been appointed s architectural su- pervisors for the Housing Administra- tion. \GREEN SAYS LABOR | HOLDS N. R. A. WHIP Akron Rubber Workers Told of “Rights” if Employers “Do Not Listen to Reason.” By the Associated Press AKRON, Ohio, November 24 —Wil- liam Green, president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, today de- clared labor “still possesses” the right to strike if rubber manufacturers “do not listen te reason.” Speaking before a cheering crowd of 3,000 Akron rubber workers, Green hailed the National Labor Relations Board's decision that the Goodrich and Firestone companies must permit an election to determine what group shall represent their workers in nego- tiations with manufacturers, “No corporation is going to deny us the fruits of our victory,” Green shouted. “You cannot yet truly appraise the significance of this great victory. “If corporations know nothing but the law of force, if reason fails, then labor still possesses the right to go out on strike. “I cannot and will not believe that these two great companies will dis- pute the authority of the United States. “Before the passage of this legisla- tion,” said Green, referring to the N. R. A, and particularly section 7-a, “the rubber worker existed in a con- dition of individual servitude. “Labor concedes employers all their rights in self-government, but we de- mand that labor have every right to which it is entitled,” he said.

Ambassador Dodd, in addition, has over a period of months made re- peated verbal representations to the foreign office. The United States. in the new note, draws specific attention to “discrimi- nations” which have existed during 1934 and adds that it “cannot but be- lieve that this policy will be replaced by one more equitable and that steps will be taken at an early date to remedy the discriminations and neglect which have affected American holders of German securities.’ The German government has con- cluded agreements with Great Britain, Switzerland and The Netherlands, giv- ing the nationals of those countries full payment on obligations held by them, because of promises that these Nations would increase their purchases | from Germany. The United States has not entered into any such agreement and Ameri- can bondholders have, therefore. been offered only the equivalent of 75 per cent of the total amount due them in interest. By far the largest bloc of the German obligations is held in the United States. Loans Would be Met. Rejecting the German thesis based on the trade agreements the American note declared: “In its announcements of policy the German government has not only dis- claimed any intention of repudiating German loans. but has consistently emphasized its determination to honor them. “In practice, however, the policy of relating debt payments to the balance of commercial exchanges between Ger- many and each individual creditor country has inevitably produced the above stated result of general dis- crimination against bondholders resi- dent in the United States. “The claim that debts should be paid only from direct sales of goods in the creditor country is inacceptable and dangerous as dislocating the rela- tlons between debtor and creditor and tending to establish a new principle that any international debtor can, in effect, repudiate all or part of indebt- edness that could be paid from ex- change derived from triangular and multi-lateral trading. “As an expedient to oblige foreign countries to accept German exports over and above what their markets would otherwise take, it seems to offer little promise of even temporary and partial success to compensate for the destructive general effects of such & policy.” The note gives “a detailed record of the discriminations practiced against Americans” and recites “discrimina- tions in three different categories of German obligations —medium and long term bonds, Dawes loan bonfs and Young loan bonds. Under the terms of the moratorium against transmitting foreign exchange outside Germany., the American note points out, all holders of medium and long term bonds were to receive 30 per cent in foreign exchange and 70 per cent in scrip convertible at 67 per cent of its face value. That ar- rangement would have given Ameri- can, as well as other bondholders, 76.9 per cent of the face value of their interest coupons. —_— Princeton Club to Dine.

LONDON, November 24—This stald old city was thrilled tonight to the prospect next week of see- ing more royalty—with and with- {out thrones—than has gathered here | since the coronation of Britain's re- vered King, George V, 25 years ago. Nearly 70 royal guests will attend the wedding of the Duke of Kent, the rina of Greece, who are to be mar- ried November 29. Already here are the King and Queen of Denmark are en route from Copenhagen, and crowned heads and royal heads without crowns tonight were converging on London from all over Europe. Buckingham Palace, many of its rooms unused for years, furnished up for the occasion, will entertain some 20 of the distinguished visitors, with the overflow going to two West End hotels. Prince Paul Welcomed. The engaged couple broke into their | toria Station to greet Yugoslavia's of- ficial representative, Prince Paul, cousin of the late King Alexander and head of the regency now govern- ing the Slav kingdom. It was Paul, an Oxford graduate, who played cupid for the royal pair, entertaining home in the Slovenian Alps where their friendship of five years ripened into love. Much to the satisfaction of the cheering crowds massed at Bucking- ham Palace almost continuously since the beautiful princess arrived in Lon- don this week from her Paris trous- seau shopping, the bride-to-be decid- ed at the last moment to accompany the duke to the station. The train was late and they had to wait 20 minutes, spending the time on a wooden bench chatting vivaci- ously. Hundreds, most of them women, pushed the barriers in their effort to catch glimpses of the royal lovers, and there were many remarks on Marina’s striking beauty. Children Greet Prince. At the station, too, to greet Prince Paul and his son, Nicholas, with kisses was the Princess Paul, already in Lon- don for the wedding. The last strenuous whirl of prepa- rations for the great event gets under way Monday. Two rehearsals for the state cere- mony in Westminster Abbey will be held Tuesday in which the eight bridesmaids, among them winsome Princess Elizabeth, the Duke of Kent's pretty young niece, will learn where to stand and what to do. - Another rehearsal will be held Wednesday evening, at which the seating of the distinguished guests will be rehearsed. Marina was ex- pected to visit the abbey for Tues- fln{_’s rehearsal. he city mean '¥e began assum- Royal Wedding Draws Rulers From Many Lands to London/ City’s Guests Include More Crowned and Uncrowned Kings Than Since Coronation of George, 25 Years Ago. | King’s fourth son, and Princess Ma- | | Queen of Norway, while the King and | quiet week end today to go to Vic- | them at his Summer | ing more festive air in preparation for the wedding, and early Christmas shoppers along Bond and Oxford streets walked under hundreds of flags and decorations which appeared overnight.

Royal Gardeners Busy. These were busy times, too, in the royal gardens at Frogmore, Windsor Castle, which will supply the floral decorations for both the abbey serv- ice and the wedding reception at Buckingham Palace. More than 3,000 carnation spikes alone will be re-| quired for table decorations at the palace. The color scheme—red, white and blue—would please any patriotic American. These are the colors not only of the British royal house, but also of the former reigning family of Greece. As wedding presents from all over the world continue to pour in, the couple planned to spend the week end quietly, giving Marina more time to recover from the ardors of her Paris shopping and the strenuous welcome she received. More than 15,000 special direction posts for vehicles bringing spectators to the big show are being set up in the wedding area, The betrothed pair tonight at- tended a play in a West End theater as guests of Queen Mary.

BUDAPEST, November 24 —A week of negotiations tonight found the Sixth International Wheat Conference without agreement on any of the various proposals on its agenda for inter-governmental control of wheat production and marketing. Prospects appeared bright, however, that divergent views as to acreage reductions next year would be brought into harmony by Monday. The two most important develop- ments in.the sessions thus far have been negative and dealt staggering blows to the 1933 world wheat pact. They were: 1. Argentina’s repudiation of the 1938 wheat pact as the basis for acre- age reduction next year, and 2.

ROME, November 24 —Italy jumped squarely into the middle of the Balkan battle over international terrorism to- day, lining up with Hungary in de- manding immediate investigation of Yugoslav charges linking Hungary with the Marseille murders. (A complaint Yugoslavia filed with the League of Nations this week al- leged Hungarian “‘complicity” in the assassination of the Slav King, Alex- ander_ last month, and charged Hun- gary harbored terrorists.) “A nation cannot remain under ac- cusations so grave as those advanced against Hungary by the Serb memo- rial” an official foreign office com- munique said. “Therefore Italy has demanded that | Yugoslavia be made to prosecute her case immediately and Hungary be permitted immediate defense.” Situation Called Delicate. “The situation engendered by Yugo- slavia's action,” the communique said, E but it added that re- sponsible Italian circles did not be- lieve it could lead to immediate more serious complications. A government spokesman asserted one of the attributes of justice is swiftness, and declared it unfair to Hungary as well as dangerous to the peace of Europe to leave such serious charges hanging over her head until the League got ready to consider them in January. ‘Tomorrow morning’s nNewspapers will publish strong editorials support- ing_the government's stand. The press agrees that Italy sym- pathized deeply with Yugoslavia in the loss of her assassinated King and understood her feeling of resentment, but Yugoslavia's action in going out- side the realm of ordinary law courts to the international tribunal at Ge- neva was disturbing to the peace of Europe. Supported accusations against Hun- gary contained in the Yugoslav letter, the newspapers will say, are unjust unless they are presented immediately tim of a violent campaign and of most far-fetched accusations. “These accusations are still being made. They have created a political atmosphere which not only is full of serious dangers for the ordinary rela- tions between certain states of Eu- rope, but which are capable of af- | fecting even the peace of the world.” The Hungarian note, demanding TREASURY PUSHES SCHULTZ SEARCH Morgenthau Directs Man- hunt for No. 1 Tax Evader on Federal List.

Irey said that Morgenthau has in- structed the secret service, the Coast Guard, the Customs Bureau and the Narcotics Bureau to assist in the man hunt. ‘The Department of Justice, through its Division of Investigation, also has agreed to co-operate in tracking down Schultz. Ordinarily the Justice De- partment confines its man-hunting to violators of Federal laws within specific jurisdiction of that depart- ment. Within the past few days Irey has distributed throughout the country 50,000 copies of a “lookout” circular bearing photographs and fingerprints of Schultz—whose real name is Arthur Flegenheimer—and of Henry Mar- golis, alias Henry Stevens, lieutenant of Schultz. Stevens, Frank J. Ahearn and George Yarlasavetsky, alias George Young, are under joint indict- ment with Schultz for income tax offenses. The Justice Department also has sent out thousands of “wanted" notices. Mentioned in Kidnaping. Schultz at one time was mentioned as 3 possible suspect in the Lind- bergh kidnaping, but Irey, whose men are alding Jersey authorities in the case against Bruno Hauptmann, said the beer racketeer is not wanted for the Jersey crime. “The Dutchman,” as Schultz some- times is called, was indicted January 25, 1933, in New York under the in- come tax laws after Irey's agents had conducted an intenstve undercover investigation of the beer racket in New Jersey and New York.
