Will Seek Proposals Before Deciding Editorial Workers’ Wages. Before the National Recovery Ad- ministration writes into the news- paper code its amendment covering wages for editorial workers, the American Newspaper Guild will be asked to present its proposals and suggestions. The Guild representatives, headed by Heywood Broun, walked out of the hearing two weeks ago in protest against the action of Donald Richberg in reopening the Dean Jennings case before the National Labor Relations Board. Hearing Proposed. J. B. Tate, deputy administrator, yesterday wrote Jonathan Eddy, the Guild’s executive secretary, suggest- ing that another hearing be arranged at whic the guild could offer its suggested provisions. > “I shall be glad,” Tate wrote, “to make arrangements for an open con- ference between representatives of the American Newspaper Guild and the officials of the National Recovery Ad- ministration, charged with the duty of making recommendations to the National Industrial Recovery Board, concerning the provisions of the amendment to be adopted, in order that the guild may be afforded a further opportunity for the presenta- tion of its proposals and evidence in their support.” It is expected that Eddy, Broun and Daniel A. DeSouza, president of the ;| Washington Newspaper Guild, will appear for the news writers. Contract Is Signed. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, December 21.—An- nouncement that a contract covering wages, hours and working congitions for editorial department employes of the Cleveland News has been mutually signed by the publisher, Dan R. Hanna, jr, and the Cleveland Newspaper Guild, was made today by the guild's | officers. Nearly six months of negotiations between the guild and Mr. Hanna preceded the signing of the contract, which is described by William Davy, the guild's executive secretary, as “the first which any local affiliate of the American Newspaper Guild has won by prolonged negotiation.” The contract, which runs for one year and contains a 10-day reopening clause on wages, provides a $40 a week minimum salary for editorial department employes having four or more years of experience, and a slid- ing scale for apprentices starting at $20 and increasing $2.50 every six months until $3750 & week is reached. ‘The five-day week is agreed upon for all but six department heads, with the working day of eight hours fall- ing within nine consecutive hours. Equal time off for overtime is allowed. In case of discharge an employe is en- titled by the contract to a sum of money, the amount depending on his length of service with the paper. This amount runs as high as 12 weeks’ pay for workers who have been employed by the News over nine years. 700,000 JOBS SEEN IN 30-HOUR WEEK National Industrial Conference Board Esitmates 11 Per Cent Employment Aid. By the Assoolated Press. NEW YORK, December 21.—The National Industrial Conference Board today estimated an average 30-hour week would increase employment in manufacturing industry by 11 per cent, or approximately 700,000 work- ers, taking September of this year as a basis. The board’s survey shows that for employes at present engaged such a reduction by law would result in re- duced hours, increased hourly earn- ings, stationary money income per week and an increased cost ol living. For the manufacturers, the survey showed, it would result in smaller output per man-hour, increase in labor cost per man-hour and a larger increase in labor cost per umit of product. “For the worker,” the board states in a summary, current proposals contemplate such an increase in hour- Iy rates as will keep the weekly pay envelope at the same point. The em- ployed worker is to get more leisure and to keep the same money income. When, however, the general advance in labor costs had raised prices all along the line, he would find that his money would buy less goods; that his real wages had declined.” TOBACCO CONTROL ACT FAVORED BY GROWERS By the Associated Press. RALEIGH, N. C., December 21.— Early compilation of returns indicated today that North Carolina tobacco growers favor continuance of the Keer-Smith control act in 1935 by an overwhelming majority, but it was ex- pected to require several days to finish tabulating the ballots. The balloting was concluded yes- terday after the farmers had been given 10 days to vote. It was ex- plained that the returns cannot be counted as rapidly as were the Bank- head cotton act votes, since each to- bacco ballot is determined by the number of acres of tobacco grown by each voter in 1934. ' ATWOOD GRAPEFRUIT American University Yule Log - ‘Service Led by Chicago Girl Miss Ann Henderson “Most Representative® in Balloting. Piclufeaque Ceremony Is ‘Held Around Lighted Christmas Tree. Miss Ann Henderson of Chicago, & senior at the College of Liberal Arts of American University, who was elected by girls of the dormitory to the coveted post of “most representa- tive” girl in the Women's Residence Hall, led the traditional Yule log service about the lighted Christmas tree last midnight. Miss Henderson heads the staff of the American Eagle, student publica tion. She is a member of the women's debate team and active in athletics. Elected to assist-her in the Yule log service were these “representative girls” from each class: Kathryn Brown of Riverside, R. I., senior class; Katherine Cunningham, McLean, V: junior; Margaret Le Masters, Clar] burg, W. Va. sophomore, and Ruth Humphreys of Philadelphia, freshman. ‘The service included reading of the Christmas Story by Miss Henderson. prayer by Miss Brown, and singing of CRASH KILLS SEVEN IN “FLYING HOTEL” IN IRAQ DESERT ‘(Continued From First Page.) Walewyn, engineer, and Wireless Oper- ator C. van Zadelhogg. Air officials here expressed belief the plane had been struck by light- ning. The last radio message from the craft, received early yesterday, said it was in difficulty during a storm near Rutba Wells, Unaware of the wreck G. J. Geysen- dorfer, who was pilot for the late Van Lear Black, Baltimore, Md., publisher, hopped from Amsterdam this morning to aid in the hunt. One month ago today “the flying hotel” returned to Amsterdam after winning the handicap race in the Mel- bourne derby. Its pilots on that flight, K. D. Parmentier and J. J. Moll, were honored by Queen Wilhelmina. The plane was second in the derby. The scene of the crash, midway be- tween the coast of Palestine and Baghdad, is a desolate one. Sharp ridges rise out of great stretches of sandy desert, criss-crossed by narrow gorges which make a forced landing almost certain death. Royal Air Force flyers who know the territory say they always experience dangerous air currents which rise from the sun- baked gorges. PARMENTIER MYSTIFIED. AMSTERDAM, December 21 (#).— ‘The crash of the airliner Ulver in Iraq was considered a national catastrophe today. Flags were placed at half staft and radio stations were silenced for a period as a sign of mourning. Ki D. Parmentier, who, with J. J. Mecll, piloted the Uiver to Melbourne, said he was unable to advance any possible cause for its crash. As a result of the Uiver's Melbourne flight the Dutch Royal Airlines had ordered 14 American-built planes to speed -up the East Indies service. ANN HENDERSON, —Harris-Ewing Photo.

MIAMI, Fla, December 21.—Mr. and Mrs. Richard du Pont, socially prominent Wilmington, Del., aviation enthusiasts, spent more than eight hours marooned in their plane in the Everglades before an Army tractor rescued them.
