STRAY DEMOCRATS WARNED BY BYRNS Disciplinary Action Seen Against Those Joining Progressive Fold. By the Associated Press House Progressives today read into & reprark by Speaker Byrns a direct wa of disciplinary action against any § @pocrats who stray into the new . Uggressive bloc, which Byrns termed the beginning of a third party movement.” The Speaker, asked what might happen t» the 16 House Democrats who attended the first meeting of the bloc, replied: Similar Mo 7ements Made. “My guess . ld be that they might be called to ‘%-ount. Understand, I don't say T wotfld do that. I don't sav that anybody would do that with my approval. But similar movements have been made in the past with simi- lar results.” Representative Kvale, Farmer-Labor, of Minnesota, who called the bloc’s first meeting, replied: “Which means that if Democrats try to be legislators, the powers are going to withhold fiilthy lucre and radio speakers needed in campaign time, as well as patronage privileges | or other forms of polite bribery used | as a balt to keep people within party | lines. “I think that if that is going to be the attitude of administration leaders, we'll have a showdown real soon. The statement shows that such an organ- | fzation is needed. “If such arguments persist, it won't take long to show that we are the | real friends of the New Deal and that | the supposed administration backers | THE EVENING Plan to Man U. S. BY BLAIR BOLLES. SAD lack of superfine native chefs in the United States may slow the move now afoot to man our merchant ships with full American crews. Joseph B. Weaver, veteran ocean crosser and newly named director of the U. S. Steamboat Inspection Serv- | ice, confessed today that the French, the German and the Italian chef, pastry cook, baker and steward are so far superior to the American that there can be no comparison. To remedy this situation, Mr. Wea- ver urges full schooling in the service departments at the Merchant Marine Academy proposed to Congress by the President’s Interdepartmental Com- mittee, which studied ways and means of lifting American shipping from the doldrums into which it has sunk. “I think nobody can question the desirability of having full American crews,” said Mr. Weaver. “However, if you're going to run passenger ships, you've got to make them as attractive as foreign ships. WHAT_NO 9 AMERICAN CHEF; “Very few people will accept in- ferior service in order to make & patriotic gesture and travel en Ameri- can ships. We've got to make our service in so far as possible the equal of that offered by the foreign lines. Much Training Needed. “Most American ships today, if W anted—American Chefs!

I think | I speak with authority as a traveler,” PLANS FICTION LECTURE The fiction group of the District of Columbia League of American Pen Women and its guests will hear Mar- shall Hugh Irish discuss short story technique at headquarters Friday at 8 pm.

Welcomes New Members. “We have made no attempt to seek members, but anybody who chooses to join us and who has high, unselfisn motives, will be welcomed.” Byrns asserted he was “not wor- ried” by the movement, which is said by its backers to be designed to ob- | tain a “balance of power” in the House. The Republican leaders, re- | marking that, with their small mi- nority, they could get nowhere in the | House anyhow, apparently contem- | plated no action against the eight | party members who attended the first meeting. The bloc’s Policy Committee was at work. Representative Boileau, Pro- gressive, of Wisconsin, the committee chairman, said he would be ready to report back to the group “in the next few days.” Kvale said & new megt- ing would be called when Boileau was | ready. | HEART TROUBLE TOPIC | OF PUBLIC LECTURE!

American stewards, chefs, bakers, efc., require a tremendous amount of training to bring them up to standard of the| foreign service crews.” Mr. Weaver has crossed the ocean back and forth 50 times. He has built ships and run ships and now he super- vises ships. He summed his attitude on ship service thus: “I wouldn't have a lot of jacklegs throwing soup at me and be a patriotic martyr when 1 can get splendid ser- vice on foreign boats.” He is extremely interested in legis- lation now before the House and Sen- ate and expected by the administra- tion to give a slap and dash and verve into our drooping shipping industry. As a military precaution, the proposed bill aims to Americanize United States boat crews from the glory hole to the crow's nest.
