A—2 %xxx LFOFL GO “DRAFTING REPORT 'l"réparing Convention State- ‘ment on Split—Green Sees ¥ Peace Hopes. *# With individual spokesmen for both factions seemingly in favor of peace, but with their respective pro- ‘posals for reconciliation far from & common point, the Executive Coun- ¢il of the American Federation of -Labor today took writing a convention report on the sharp split in the ranks of organized labor. Through the medium of quoted re- marks by influential leaders on both sides, faint hopes of peace have been kept alive, but apparently there can be no settlement until both the coun- cil and the suspended members of the Committee for Industrial tion do some back-tracking on previ- ous statements and actions. General Matters Discussed. A. the morning session recessed, President William Green of the A. F. of L. said that general matters per- tairing to the council report had been discussed but that the meeting had not vet taken up the important contro- versial issue. George M. Harrison, president of the Railway Clerks' Association and chair- man of a special committee which at- tempted early in the Summer to nego- tiate peace between the two factions, disclosed that his committec no longer is functioning and that any overtures from either side must come spontane- ously and through individuals. Green declined to disclose any de- velopments of a two-hour conference held last t in New York with David Dubinsky, president of the In- ternational Ladies’ Garment Workers, | and Max Zaritsky. president of the Cap and Millinery Workers. Dubinsky and Zaritsky are affiliated with the C. 1 O. Green Sees Peace Hope. No statement was issued after the conference ended, but speaking earlier in the evening before a convention of the Cap and Millinery Workers, Green pledged himself to “do everything that lies within my power to end this strife and reunite our forces. Let us * * * confound our enemies, those who would destroy us, by going to the convention * * * as & united family. I am happy at the prospect of ending she unfortunate internecine strife.” An added appeal for peace was voiced at the same meeting by Gov. Herbert Lehman of New York, who warned that the split “only plays right into the hands of the enemies of labor.” _ That the C. L O. as a unit, how- ever, will accept only an outright lift- ing of the suspension order and in- dorsement of their drive for industrial unionization of certain mass produc- tion industries has been set forth plainly by John L. Lewis, chairman, &nd others of his group. Again last night, for instance, Sid- ney Hillman, president of the Amal- gamated Clothing Workers and key man n the C. I O. group. placed entire responsibility for the split on the federation’s council. Lifting of the suspension and co-operation in the organizing drive would remove the breach, he added. 1,000 Qualify to Fly. Qualification of 1.000 new pilots for Government fiying licenses during the Jast 12 months was announced yes- terday by the Air Commerce Bureau. The bureau said 15763 fiyers had passed Government tests up to Octo- ber 1, of whom 432 were women, Spain (Continued From First Page.) took the towns of Escalona and Al- morox on the Maqueda-San Martin de Valdeiglesias highway.

" " The attack, which brought the in- surgents within 10 miles of San Martin de Valdeiglesias, was one of the most dramatic spectacles of the clvil war and constituted one of the most dif- ficult assignments given to the Fascist mounted warriors. In mountainous terrain entirely un- suited to cavalry maneuvers, this col- umn, commanded by, Col..Jose Monas- foot.

Italy added between 1.000.000.000 and 2,000.000,000 lire to stock of goid and foreign currency whose pre- devaluation was estimated at 5.000,« 000,000 lire. The exact amount of Ttaly's gold stock has not been revealed since be- fore the beginning of the Italo- Ethiopian War. Italian officials have declared they will use realized profits for paying ex- penses of the East African campaign and other national necessities. They said they do not plan to establish a currency stabilization fund Switzerland gained approximately 600000000 Swiss francs and the Netherlands about 177.000,000 guild- ers.

When, in 1935, Senator Robinson of Arkansas led the Senate debate on the court, Dr. Hudson was at his elbow with a mass of facts and arguments. In 1933 President Roosevelt ap- pointed Dr. Hudson a member of the Permanent Court of Arbitration, & entirely different institution from the Permanent World Court of Justice For 13 years Dr. Hudson has been professor of international law at Har- vard University, but has engaged in numerous public activities during tae period, particularly in connection with the State and national bar associa- tions. From the United States’ entrance into the World War in 1917, Dr. Hud- son devoted himself to a study of the terms of the future peace. He was & member of the body of inquiry or- ganized by Col. House to prepare for the Peace Conference. and later ac- companied President Wilson to Paris. There, he participated in the work of several commissions and later was sent on a mission to the Balkans to attempt to open up navigation on the rivers of Central Europe. Later, for a time, he participated in the work of the legal section of the League secretariat Besides Mr. Kellogg, who resigned from the court last year because of his health, American judges have been Jonn Bassett Moore and Charles Evans Hughes, present Chief Justice of the United States. Both resigned before their terms were completed. Recently Dr. Hudson declared “such an institution as the World Court is a necessity if force ever is to be re- placed by law.” " Health (Continued From First Pagr.) reached an agreement on the Dis- trict’s budget estimate for 1938. During the hearing before the Com- missioners, Dr. Hooe said the Mec- ical Society's resolution reiterated its plea for “adequate appropriations to supply the deficiencies in personnel and laboratory facilities for control of communicable diseases, but be- lieves that such funds can be most economically expended through the utilization of already established elin- ics by means of co-operative efforts between the Health Department and | the staff of the community hospital clinics.” Disclaims Friction. Dr. Wiliam P. Herbst. chairman of the Medical Society’s Publicity Committee, said today “there has never been any friction between the society and the Health Department.” He explained that the “impression” that the Medical Society was opposed to the health centers was given through a misinterpretation of the resolution adopted by the Executive Committee. “It is really not a reversal of opin- ion,” Dr. Herbst added. He pointed out that when Represent- atives of the society attended the budget hearing, they had not had an opportunity to study the proposal Since, he said, officials of the society have had many conferences with Dr. Ruhiand and now are in complete ac- cord. Last night's resolution was passed by an overwhelming vote, Dr. Herbst said, and there was no division of opinion among the physicians.
