ROW OVER WORD “MUST" REOPENED Presment Pounded Tahle, Ordered Bills Passed, Snell Asserts. By the Associated Press. The controversy over the use of the little word “must” in describing bills President Roosevelt wanted to see passed was reopened today by House Republican Leader Snell of New York. During the recent session of Con- gress the White House let it be known Mr. Roosevelt had no “must” bills, but “desired” enactment of certain meas- ures. Snell, extending his remarks in the final Congressional Record, declared congressional leaders were summoned to the White House and handed a list of measures which the Executive said “must” pass. Table Pounded, He Says. *“Although the incident has been de- nied through the usual secretarial agencies of the White House,” Snell said, “there can be no doubt that it transpired, for too many reputable members of both branches of Con- gress, who were present, agree that the dictatorial word ‘must’ was used and the dictatorial presidential fist pounded the White House table in order to emphasize his orders.” Snell declared some of the legisla- tion not only was unconstitutional, un- American and soclalistic, but “revolu- tionary.” and “z2ll of it has been dic- tatorially demanded by the President,” with property to be confiscated by the State and the individual to be regi- mented. “All of this is merely the introduc- tion into America of the Soviet theory | and system of government,” he said. Congress' Freedom Held Gone. | The House's record last session he described as a record by a majority party which abjectly surrendered “not only the constitutional prerogatives of Congress, but also its own freedom of action, its mental integrity and inde- pendence and, finally, its self-respect.” Snell related that the President then began sending the leaders orders through “bureaucratic whippersnap- pers and official understrappers until the debasement of Congress was com- plete.” It was because Mr. Roosevelt feared the effect of a thorough dis- cussion of his measures, Snell said, that haste and “gag rule” were re- sorted to. “The short-cut to Utopia,” he said, “which the demagogic leader always promises, and demands haste in reach- ing that destination, leads nowhere but to the destruction of orderly gov- ernment and the loss of liberty by the individual.” g Rome (Continued From First Page.) of troop departures for Africa would have been reached by Saturday.

MAT] WORLD RELATIONS ATEBB, SAYS HULL 18 Foreign Students See Secretary After Tour of Washington. A group of 18 foreign students visiting the United States was told yesterday by Secretary of State Hull that international relationships “have never been at so low an ebb as at present.” He advised nations to avoid extreme nationalism and interna- tionalism. “We should strive,” said Hull, “to ascertain what the fundamentals of world condition and remedies are, avolding extremes, either ultra-con- servative or ultra-radical. “We should be conservative when- ever that is advisable, and radical whenever that is necessary, but not chronically extreme in either. We could then avold extreme nationalism and extreme internationalism and practice both to the extent necessary to promote the domestic and the mu- | tua! welfare of the people of all the nations.” The group of students started their tour of the Capital, before calling on Secretary Hull, by visiting the British Embassy. Leaving the State Depart- ment they called at the White House and were shown through the Execu- tive Mansion. Today was given over to a sighi- seeing trip, and the group plans to leave tomorrow. While in Washington the students have been escorted by Robert H. Marcus, executive comm.t- teeman at large of the National Si dent Federation, under whose aus- pices the students are traveling.

The German leader promised his audience that the Reich under no cir- cumstances would return to its “old debt policy” of buying more than it can sell. The German leader declared his “fanatical belief” in the future of the German movement. “History will confirm that what the National Socialist party did in three short years was an enormous change which no one thought possible and which even today is not believed by variows elements,” his proclamation said. “We have a fanatical belief in the future.” The proclamation was read zo the convention by Adolf Wagner, Bavarian Nazi district leader. Hess Condemns Jews. Rudolf Hess, Der Fuehrer's deputy on party matters, lauded Hitler “for reconquering Germany’s honor” and condemned Jews and Communists in & loudly applauded speech preceding the reading of the proclamation. ‘Turning to Hitler, he said, “Through the destruction of Communism you have assured domestic freedom and through your order of March 16 (smashing the military clauses of the Versailles treaty) you have won Ger- many’s foreign freedom.” To Julius Streicher, Nazi anti- delivering the address of welcome at the opening today of the Nazi con- vention in the great Luitpold Hall.

COAL PRODUGERS KEEP WAGE STAND Modified Union Proposal Is Turned Down, but Cau- cus Is Set. By the Associated Press. Appalachian soft coal producers stood by their position today that mine wages and hours during the coming Winter should be kept at their present scale. The producers turned down a modi- fied proposal from the United Mine Workers for an agreement to succeed the present contract expiring Sunday midnight. This move did not signify final re- jection, however. The operators ar- ranged to caucus again today after a brief meeting of the joint sub-scale committee. Until last night the miners had asked & 10 per cent increase in the day pay rate, 15 cents increase in the tonnage rate and a five-hour cut in the 35-hour week. Operators Have Held Out.
