ASTOR, 30, TAKES SANEEK I Famous Name Perpetuated in International Mercan- tile Marine Line. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 21.—John Jacob Astor, 3d, scion of one of America’s oldest and wealthiest families, realized a life ambition, car- ried on a family tradition, and got a Jjob yesterday. Young John went to work for the International Mercantile Marine Co. where he will learn the business from the bottom up. The bottom was fixed at $25 a week, the salary reported paid to Astor as assistant of Capt. Frederick Fender, assistant marine superintendent of the I. M. M.

M. M. Co. and one of its principal stockholders. But according to Basil Harris, an- other vice president, the new employe won't get many favors. At least, not for a time. Faces Entire Routine. | “Young Mr. Astor,” he said, “will have to go through all the routine before he can expect to do executive work.” Astor was married June 20, 1934, to Miss Ellen Tuck French in the season’s most brilliant society wed- ding. His decision to take & job was unexpected. When asked about it, he said: “I like ships.

PARIS, March 21.—A real life drama which opened when Duke Karl II fled from his native Bruns- wick to Geneva with his tidy fortune of $30,000,000, played for the last time yesterday in the musty Seine tribunal.

By the Associated Press. made yesterday by Matthew Smith, national secretary of the Mechanics’ Education Soclety of America, that the General Motors Corp. is “flout- ing” the N. R. A. by the discharge of 40 men in its Saginaw, Mich., plant, drew an immediate reply by the cor- poration’s executive vice president, William 8. Knudsen. Smith was nominated to an em- ployes’ representation group at the Chevrolet iron foundry in Saginaw two days ago. Yesterday he charged that 40 men in the department in which he was nominated have been dis- charged, and he demanded an “imme- diate hearing” before the National Automobile Labor Board. “We have no way of knowing who voted for Smith,” Knudsen said. ! “If the layoff is improper the Auto- | mobile Labor Board will investigate.” | Smith sent copies of his demand | for a hearing to President Roosevelt, | Donald Richberg, chairman of - the | National Advisory Council of N. R. A.; Francis Biddle of the National Labor Relations Board and Senator Robert Count De Civry, who had sought to | - Tecover the duke’s millions from the City of Geneva. He had claimed the money, which went to the city when no will of the duke was found. The count was a son of the Countess of Colmar, who said she was an illegiti- mate daughter of Duke Karl. Frenchmen were wont to call the drama “The Duke and the Police- man.” When the duke arrived at Geneva he was courteously received. He de- cided to leave his $30,000,000 to the city when he died. The policeman entered the picture in 1870. At that time the duke | was driving through Geneva's streets | in his favorite barouche. The police- man pointed out that the duke was driving on the left side of the road, contrary to rules. The duke was enraged and whipped his horses into a smart gallop. He changed his will &nd cut off the city without a centime. Duke Karl died in 1873. No will was found and the city took the money. —_— POLICE FIGHT MARCHERS 800 Relief Agents Are Prevented From Entering Building.
