'A~-16 MASARYK 70 DROP CZECH PRESIDENCY Life of Great Statesman Nears End—Benes Seen as Successor. By Radio to The Star. ? PARIS, France, November 29.— President Thomas G. Masaryk of Czechoslovakia, considered the great- est statesman in contemporary Eu- fope, intends to resign before 1936. The venerable creator of his coun- try's independence has become too old | for affairs of State and his retire- ment is urgent. Even as late as two years ago those near the Presi- dent noticed that whereas often he was in fine fettle § with a transluc- ent nilnd, at other moments he seemed dull, his memory bad § and his attention § wandering. | His great life S §& drawing near its close. For his suc- cessor 1nost peo- ple have chosen Dr. Eduard Benes, early collaborator with Masaryk and foreign minister | of the Czechoslovak Republic since its | ereation after the World War. Benes passes as one of the finest political heads in Europe, and while | without the hold over his people pos- | sessed by Masaryk, is an eminent figure as a democrat and statesman. | The plan is that before the end of | the year both Masaryk and Benes will resign. The foreign minister's place will be filled by the Czech | diplomat and historical, Kamil Krofta, | best Known as Czechoslovakia's Min- | ister in Berlin. | Benes would then run for the presidency. The Czech President, while possessing the wide prerogatives of the American President, is elected along the French system by Parliament.

By the Associated Press. Plans for a permanent organization of business and labor leaders under the Government's wing to give contin- uous attention to industrial problems are being developed by George L. Berry. President Roosevelt’s co-ordinator for industrial co-operation expects to propose such a program to the in- dustry-worker conference called for December 9 to seek a meeting of minds between these traditionally conflicting interests on the future of N. R. A's principles. ‘The proposal would create a tem- porary council in the- conference. As diffefent industry groups separate into committees to consider specific prob- lems, each group would select & rep- resentative to carry its views to the temporary council. The council would attempt to resolve conflicts, Permanent Group is Aim. Berry has said he saw no reason why this council should not be made permanent. But the fact he is defi- { nitely planning to push the idea of permazency has just become known. His assoclates said they saw no reason for conflict with other Govern- ment departments, Labor and Com merce particularly, nor with the group of 50 top business executives compris- ing the Advisory Council set up some two years ago by Secretary of Com- merce Roper. The council, it.was said, would study long-term problems which may not be capable of solution in the short time of the general conference meet- ing. It would be available for discus- sions at all times and would attempt to meet and answer conflicts between industry and labor as they arose. Permanent offices would be set up in Washington, presumably with & secretary. There was some talk in business circles that Berry himself might head the new group..He Is both a labor leader and an industrial executive. Some Indorsement Received. In some quarters, possible creation of the council was considered the major potentiality of the conference. Officials empliasized there would be no effort to “push the council down ths conference’s throat.” But they sald some major business leaders al- ready have indorsed the plan in pri- vate messages to Berry. Industry, however, generally was silent on the plan, with opinion ap- parently divided. Some opposition was based on the theory business would be “put on the spot” in being forced to negotiate with labor on a much broader basis than it desires, e 8ycling Fad.
