NEW DEAL CLASH -STIRS COALITION Patriotic Societies’ Session Tables Resolution Demand- ing Politics End. A controversy over the New Deal threatened for a while yesterday to disrupt the unity of the American Conlition of Patriotic Societies as the bt:ni of directors of the organization met at the Carlton Hotel; Charging the national headquarters of ~the coalition .had disseminated anti-New Deal propaganda without oohsent of the 117 memiber groups, Rexford L. Holmes, secretary-treas- urer of the National Patriotic Coun- -introduced a resolution demanding that the coalition officers “discontinue pdlitical activity and resume their former commendable patriotic en- dedvors.” The resolution brought hisses from some and a vigorous denunciation #rbm the national president, John B. Trevor of New York. After.a bitter dispute the motion was tabled. ZThe only other resolution to arouse position was one advocating con- tinued opposition to the child labor amendment. Holmes advocated defeat of the resolution ‘with a statement tht the child labor amendment is the mast reasonable measure proposed thus far for keeping children out of niills and factories. <Maj. Gen, Amos A. Pries, however, imimediately championed the resolu- tion with a declaration. that the amendment would vest Congress with broad powers infringing on individual freedom. The resolution was over- whelmingly adopted. 3 Other Resolutions. Other resolutions passed demanded refention of the anti-communism rider on the District appropriations act, extension of the teachers’ oath to all States, advocating denial of relief to. Communists and aliens and pro- posing the names of Communist can- didlates be prohibited by State statute from all city and State elections. Trevor was re-elected to the national presidency. The following were named vice presidents: Mrs. G. H. Brousseau, Bginbridge Colby, Mme. Cantacuzene and Judge Wiillam R. Pattangall. Prank B. Steele was re-elected treas- urer. " Justice Josiah A.

Out of a tangle of reports and state- nts concerning American neutrality, is point emerged today: ~Italy apparently ‘continue to re- ceive American ofl; $hough the volume of the shipments 6f this commodity vital to a nation at war remains to be seen. Secretary Ickes, by making two state- thents in rapid sugoession, recarded bimself as in line with the present administration policy of keeping hands off “normal” shipments of goods to ftaly and Ethiopia. Ickes,- who is oil administrator, said he was “misunder- stood” November 21, when he made remarks generally construed as a call to the American oil industry to place & voluntary embargo on sales to belligerents. «While Ickes was making the state- ments Secretary of State Hull dealt with another point in American neu- trality policy by threatening quick legal action against arms makers and exporters who fail to register with the State Department. < Registration Required. ‘The neutrality law, which embargoed shipments of actual arms and mu- nitions to belligerents, also required manufacturers and handlers to register by last November 29. Hull said 86 of tHem had registered, indicating others had not. Jail terms and fines are pen- slfies provided. Ickes, in his second statement last night, emphasized he had received “no imtimation from any other department of any change in the Government's paticy.” Originally, the general impression gained from official pronouncement whs that the Government sought to “discourage” all dealings with belliger- engs. This impression gained apparent su) from the widespread construc- tion placed on Ickes’ remarks of No- vefnber 21. &harp resentment was expressed in Rgme at that time, and the Italian Ambasador called on Secretary Hull, thiugh the nature of their talk was not distlosed. Later a State Department spokes- mgn asserted the administration had nok tried to interfere with a normal 6% of exports. Tekes sald last night that when re- posters asked him on November 21 what American oil producers should do,he replied “they ought to operate in Jetter and spirit with efforts of the Government to keep us from furnish- in€{ war munitions to belligerents.” ‘The reporters present at that time ungerstood him to say “war materials,” which would include oll. Must Observe “Neutrality.” flenying that he spoke for the ad- ministration, Ickes reiterated last night that oil producers should operate ly within the neutrality policy, h he did not expand that view.

Representative Ludlow, Democrat, of Indiana, sald today that “from an absolutely dependable source,” he had heard many shipments of materials for war use were being “camouflaged” under disguised foreign names. He said he had asked the State Department for names of American exporters supplying materials to for- eign belligerants in “violation of the spirit of neutrality,” intending to put licity.” The system, the Indianan said, is to list the shipper in official records under foreign names to give the im- pression that consignments are being made by aliens in this country and not Americans. “The fact that the names of ex- porters are being disguised in this way |is mn of guilt,” Ludlow as- sel ‘and it is‘all the more reason why the names of the real exporters should be ferreted out and made public, * * * “There is imminent danger that un- less something is done to stop this inordinate flow of war supplies and materials our position of neutrality will be completely undermined and we will be drawn into the confiict.” Ludlow made public a letter in which Secretary of State Hull advised him that a careful scrutiny of exports to belligerents had not shown any vio- Clews Heiress them in “the pitiless light of pub- | Weds Douglas Campbell, heir presumptive to the Dukedom of Argyll, and the former Mrs. Louise Vanneck, registry office in London after their marriage last month, Mrs. Campbell is the daughter of Henry Clews, New York sculptor.

Hull emphasized & necessity “for the strictest accuracy” in dealing with names in order “to avoid injustice.” New Bill Being Drafted. Meanwhile, Capitol Hill sources close to the Senate Munitions Committee reported the drafting of a new and more stringent neutrality bill already is under way, with its submission in- tended for early January. Its general provisions, as now ten- tatively written, were said authorita- tively to call for: 1. Continuing the present temporary mandatory ban on shipment of muni- tions to all belligerents. 2. Providing discretionary power for the President to embargo certain other articles. 3. Placing a mandatory bar against loans and credits to belligerents. 4. Providing a mandatory order against United States eitizens becom- ing passengers on belligerents’ vessels. 5. Barring from Ameriean ports ves- sels of any hation ,Vessels are found to have used the American flag as a blind to approach within striking distance of enemy craft. ‘Whether this bill would receive ad- ministration indorsement, or whether it couid pass both houses in anything like this form were only matters of conjecture. strict oil shipments to Italy would the price of petroleum go down? “‘A. I do not think so.’ “Today, when questioned by my, cor- respondents, I reiterated my original statement. However, I now observe that this effort to clarify a previous misunderstanding has itself been mis- interpreted in some quarters. “Naturally, I have not undertaken to speak for other departments of the Government relative to foreign policy. I have had no intimation from any other department of any change in the Government’s policy.” Asked earlier whether his remarks were to be interpreted as “backing down” in viéw of the Italian attitude toward an oil embargo, Secretary Ickes sald “All I can do is read from the record.” COURT GRANTS OIL ORDER. Hull and Officials Must Answer Re- straining Petition. NEW YORK, December 4 (#).—Sec- retary of State Hull and four other cabinet members were under a Federal Court order today requiring them to show cause why they should not be re- strained from interfering with ship- ments of oil, cotton and certain other commodities to Italy. Federal Judge Henry W. Goddard signed the order last night directing the officials to answer next Tuesday. It was in response to a suit filed yes- terday by Phillp Giordano, New York Italian-American newspaper man. Francis X. Mancuso, counsel for Giordano, said the suit was based on his client'’s belief that the National Munitions Control Board has warned against shipments to Italy of ofl, cot- ton, scrap iron and copper. The petition took the viey that an addition of these items to President Roosevelt'’s arms embargo would be unconstitutional, 2 Mancuso, when later advised that the State Department denied the board ever issued an order or ruling including these commodities, said the purpose of the suit was to prevent any such order from being issued in the future, SERVICES SET TODAY FOR MRS.

DETROIT, December 4.—Violence broke out enew today at the Motor Products Corp. plant where 21 per- sonr were injured last night, and two policemen and two strikers were added to the list of casualties. Carrying out police orders forbid- ding the formation of picket lines, more than threescore policemen drove back 75 strikers who attempted to re- sume picketing of the plant entrance. ‘Two policemen were struck by flying bricks. Two strikers were hit by po- lice night-sticks as they retreated to their headquarters, less than a block from the entrance gate to the plant. Neither the police nor the strikers ‘would give the names of their injured. One striker was taken to e police station for questioning today. Eleven of the strikers were detained last night. Repulsed by a large police detail, the strikers retreated to the headquar- ters of the Automotive Industrial Workers’ Association. ‘Tear Gas Bomb Hurled Back. ‘The pursuing policemen threw a tear gas bomb to speed the retreat. A striker hurled the bomb back toward the police line. An hour after today's disorder started the strikers were congregated in the headquarters, under close police surveillance. Announcing that picketing of the plant had been forbidden, Police In- spector Irwin Patterson attributed the order to last night's clash. ‘The workers, estimated at more than 500, marched on the plant after a meeting sponsored by the Automotive Industrial Workers’ Association, an in- dependent organization, which called a strike in the plant several weeks ago. Union executives said the strike was called after company officials ordered & change from piece work to & day wage basis of pay. The violence occurred less than an hour after the departure from the city of Robert Mythen, Federal con- ciliator. He announced he had done all possible to settle the situation. Mythen quoted company officials as saying they had no statement to make, and said they referred him to an announcement made November 21, in which they declared no strike ex- isted at the plant. 2,000 Attend Meeting. Massing at Germania Hall, near the plant, the workers first heard an ad- dress by Matthew Smith, secretary of the Mechanics Educational Society, which has been associatgd with the tion program in the industry, and then heeded the urge of strike leaders to march on the plant. Police esti- mated 2,000 men attended the meeting. Police and company guards at the plant said they threw tear gas bombs when it appeared the marchers would storm the gates. Driven back by the fumes, the strikers gathered bricks and attacked. Windows were broken in the plant employment office, and two officers were injured, but police night sticks took the heaviest toll, with 18 of the workers receiving treatment at a pearby hospital. Two suffered broken arms and the remsfin- der had head injuries, physicians said. Approximately 50 received treatment for effects of the gas. Spanish Wheat.

But they have never before been disclosed because of the ad- ministration’s reluctance to give offi- cial standing to any unemployment figures. ’ Although 5,000,000 persons had found work by September, according to the estimate, the unemployment Tolls had been cut little more than 4,000,000 because nearly a million new recruits were added to the employable population between March, 1933, and September. Nathan estimated the peak of un- employment at 15,071,000 in March, 1933. His final figure for October has not been determined, but preliminary calculations indicate it will show a substantial reduction from Septem- ber’s figure of 10,915,000. Data to Be Published. The estimates are “no more than rough appropriations,” Nathan said, contending at the same time that they were the best available. They will soon be published in the Inter- national Labor Review, publication of the International Labor organization at Geneva. Though several unofficial estimates of unemployed are made from time to time, none is published in such de- tail as those gathered by Nathan. The Committee on Economic Security used them in drafting the social security legislation. They showed that in September the bulk of unemployment was in the manufacturing, tion, wholesale industries. Manufacturing Total Highest, Nathan estimated that in the month there were 2,765,000 unemployed in manufacturing; 1,741,000 in the build- ing industry; 632,000 in the steam railroads; 979,000 in the wholesale and retail trades, and 663,000 in domestic and personal services other than laun- dries and cleaning and dyeing estab- lishments.

By the Assoclated Press. ° JOHNSTON CITY, Ill, December 4.—Mine officials expressed belief early today that miners had won their desperate fight against underground flood waters threatening property, lives and this city’s future as a coal mining center. Crowds gathered throughout the night at Old Ben mine No. 18, where 200 men worked frantically putting up temporary dams to hold back rising waters from nearby abandoned mines. 170 Men Underground. Of these workers, 170 were under- ground and in danger of their lives. Miners knew they would have diffi- culty reaching the mine shaft if the old fill gave way. The old fill was the only barrier be- tween the flood waters and the Old Ben mine, and water began flowing under it Monday night, Water in the abandoned mines, 50 to 100 feet above Old Ben No. 18, also threatened the city’s other mine—Franco No. 1.

Roy Ligon, former mayor, and mine manager, declared the problem the most serious Johnston City had ever faced. ‘The Old Ben mine employs 850 men, the Franco mine 550. U. S.

Looking toward relieving congested traffic conditions in downtown Wash- ington, the Traffic Committee of the Washington Board of Trade has adopted a resolution calling on the Government to expand toward the outskirts of the city. Heavy traffic has practically para- lyzed the downtown area, it was pointed out, and this could be reme- died by moving some of the Govern- ment departments into less congested sections. Col. Lawrence C. Crawford, chair- man of the committee, urged tem- porary use of unoccupied Government land for parking by Federal employes. “Business in Washington is choked “and during the rest of the day parked cars hamper those coming downtown to shop. “The Government is not showing a proper sense of responsibility when it keeps piling one bureau on top of an- other in this single zone.” DR.

By the Assoclated Press. BOSTON, December 4 —Gov. James M. Curley’s decision to seek the toga of United States Senator Marcus Cool- idge next year presaged today, even to the non-politically minded, a rough and tumble Democratic primary cam- paign. Curley, New England's original “Roosevelt for President” man who has broken with some State Demo- | cratic leaders, announced his inten- tion last night to the total abstinence society at Rockland. “I have made up my mind,” he said, “to go to the United States Senate to ‘| be part of the movement to change the economic conditions of the country to provide for social security.” Coolidge Silent. Senator Coolidge has noi indicated | whether he will seek re-election. Curley’s term as Governor expires at the end of 1936. Henry J. Dixon, president of the | Pranklin D. Roosevelt Club of Massa- chusetts, proposed Sunday that Mayor Frederick W. Mansfield of Boston run | for any office Turley might seek. “The loyal Roosevelt forces in this | State believe that Curley's elimination from the ticket would help the Roose- velt cause,” Dixon wrote Mansfield. Doubts Effectiveness. “Curley, because of his carpiny | eriticism of the New Deal and his as- sociation with the constitutional fakers and enemies of our President, is no | longer an effective spokesman for | Roosevelt.” Fighting the party machine isn't a new experience for Curley. | The Democratic party refused Curley | its support at the State’s pre-primary | convention in 1934.
