SHIPPING RESUMED ON PACIFIC COAST Liner, First to Clear Port Since Strike Peace, Leaves for Hawaii. Bs the Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, February 6— Bhipping began regaining its momen- tum over the Pacific today, although @ few small and somewhat distant relatives of the recent maritime strike threatened to make water-front trouble. The Dollar liner President Hoover, | first American ship to clear the Pa- cific Coast for Hawaii and the Orient since settlement of the strike, finally sailed through the Golden Gate at 2:20 pn. (5:20 pm., Eastern standard time) after making one false start. There were several explanations for . the turn-around. Dollar Line offices said the ship returned for “a couple of passengers who missed the boat.” The Marine Department of the Cham- ber of Commerce said it was under- stood signals had been misinterpreted. A n .paper source said a news cam- eraman had not been dropped at the | customary point, making the turn- around necessary. Six Others Ready to Sail. Six other ships were about ready to sail and still others called for ad-| ditional longshoremen for loading and | unloading. The Dollar liner Presi-| dent Hayes left Honolulu last night| for the coast. Employers said 50 of the 77 ships gemaining in port here were being | . worked by 136 longshore gangs of 18 men each and that a “peak” of 175; gangs could be expected by Monday. Ceremonies, including speeches by Mayor J. Angelo Rossi and City Health Officer J. C. Geiger marked the Hoover's sailing. The ship carried 750 passengers, fncluding Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C. Higginbotham, son-in-law and daugh- | ter of R. Stanley Dollar, president of the steamship line, on a strike-de- | layed honeymoon tour. Negotiators and Federal concilia- | tors reported progress toward settle- | ment of collateral strikes, one of which directly menaced the waterfront peace. This difficulty was a strike of somewhere between 2,000 and 5,000 shipyard workers through whose pick- | = NTIQUE GOLD-FILIGREE DINNER RING. ost_Thursday. Press Club. vicinity Whit House or cab.

Employers notified waterfront unions that “extreme action” would be taken unless the situation was ironed out quickly. Negotiators reported a tentative ac- cord on working conditions between employers and the mechanics’ union, central organization of the strike. They said efforts would be made to negotiate wages and working hours immediately. Meanwhile both employers and waterfront unions moved to prevent any hitch in the movement of crews to ships. ‘The ship scalers’ union and em- ployers reached a tentative agree- ment which was submitted immediate- | ly to a union vote. Striking bargemen | arranged a negotiation meeting for Monday with employers. Both these unions are affiliates of the long- shoremen, Tugboat workers remained strike and without negotiations.

Twice there have been violent out- bursts there and about 40 persons were injured. Gov. Murphy informally commended | military and State police for the man- which they have handled the uation. “It is the best-handled job,” he “in the industrial history of Michigan.” Sheriff Thomas Wolcott at Flint holds urt order for the arrest of “stay-in” strikers, now in their fourth day of violating an injunction for | evacuation, and of union leaders. He has delayed action pending word from the Governor, who Wolcott said had indicated very strongly” that any | violence “could bring but one thing— military rule.” John L. Lewis, aggressive labor leader and generalissimo of the strike, has pressed the U. A. W. A.’s demand for recognition as the sole bargaining agency for General Motors employes, a demand modified to include only 20 of General Motors' 69 plants. Opposing that demand in the con- I ference has been William S. Knudsen, executive vice president of the cor- | poration. The General Motors’ atti- tude was outlined a month ago by Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president, in this statement: “General Motors will not recognize any union as the sole bargaining agency for its workers. General Mo- tors will continue to recognize, for the purpose of collective bargaining, representatives of its workers, whether union or non-union.” 16 Plants Closed by Strike. Sixteen of the 20 plants claimed by the union have been closed by strikes. More than 30 others, including every assembly line of the gigantic auto- mebile producer, have shut down or curtailed operations because of strike effects. Despite the prolonged discussions which at times have been vociferous enough to be heard but not understood outside the closely guarded court chambers of Recorder’s Judge George Murphy, brother of the Governor, the conferees did not appear downhearted. Knudsen and his associates emerged from the eighth session of the peace | parley smiling but uncommunicative; Murphy, who earlier was seen pacing slowly across a conference room and resting, chin in hand, at a window, came out to announce the sessions would continue, and added: “Each day brings interesting devel- opments.” Separate Meeting Held. ‘Today's session was interrupted fre- quently by separate meetings of the corporation and union representatives and by the telephonic communication which Gov. Murphy maintained. Union leaders dispatched medical aid today to 30 strikers reported suf- fering from influenza in the Chevrolet motor assembly plant No. 4, where the latest “sit-down” started last Tues- day. Powers Hapwood, C. I. O. repre- sentative, said 10 serious cases had been moved to more comfortable quar- ters. The injunction issued by a Flint court, ordering evacuation of Fisher Body Plants Nos. 1 and 2, does nct apply to the Chevrolet strikers. Gen- eral Motors counsel said they planned no immediate legal action against the men occupying that plant. PICKETING BAN PLEA HEARD. Union Charges Move Is Part of “In- timidation Move.” CLEVELAND, February 6 (#).—The General Motors Corp. sought in court today to enjoin mass picketing at its strike-closed Fisher body plant here, and the United Automobile Workers of America replied the action was part of a “campaign of intimidation and effort to undermine the union.” ‘The petition sought to limit picket- ing at the factory, where 7,000 work- ers have been idle since a sit-down strike December 28, and to outlaw % on' Mich., potential danger spot lwany intimidation of workers there by the defendant union. William J. Corrigan, counsel for the union’s Fisher local, said General Motors “had no serious intention” of opening the plant even if the in- | junction was granted. W. K. Stanley, General Motors | counsel, estimated the strike had cost workers $1,500,000 in wages, | A union motion to again postpone | the case was overruled. Corrigan in | asking for the continuance said that | the action might jeopardize negotia- | tions under way in Detroit for set- | tlement of the strike. Corrigan contended that Lincoln Scafe, | lacked authority to act for General Motors. | Continuing his long opening state- ment Corrigan said he wanted to ask Scafe: “If the injunction is granted will General Motors open the plan:? My information is that the Cleveland plant will not open until a strike settlement is reached at Detroit on & national basis.” Stanley in his statement said the suit was purely local and that he was willing to confine the issue to the question of reduction of pickets at each gate of the plant to two. Judge Hurd recessed the hearing | until Monday, when evidence will begin. SRR e . Spain (Continued From First Page.) stubborn Socialist defense compelled the enemy to bring up reinforcements. Then, the bulletin said, the govern- ment defenders withdrew to strategic positions already placed so as to inter- cept possible insurgent drives against the Madrid-Valencia road, the ci most important link with the outside. (San Martin de la Vega is 10 from that road.) Drive on Cordoba. The bulletin also reported bitter fighting at Santa Maria de la Almeda, west of El Escorial, but government | positions there were unchanged. Meanwhile, Leftist Spain’s troops drove fiercely on insurgent-held Cor- doba in an attempt to seize that rich provincial capital. ‘Their Fascist foes laid seige to the | strategic Mediterranean seaport, Ma- laga, about 80 miles to the south. In Madrid, where three months of attack and counter attack have failed to break the stalemate between a beleaguered city and its assailants, Jose Giral Pereira, minister without portfolio in the Socialist government, expressed willingness to see for- eigners ousted from the “little world war.” ‘World War Moorish Troops. He added the proviso that dreaded Moorish troops in the ranks of Fas- cist Generalissimo Franciso Franco be barred. (The neutrality sub-committee, considering a plan to set up an international patrol of Spanish waters to exclude materials of war and seeking to set a deadline for stopping the influx of war-bent partisans, has been called for negotiations in London starting ‘Tuesday.) The Madrid front was quiet com- pared to the roar of armies on the march in the Cordoba and Malaga sectors of Southern Spain. ¥ Advices to Madrid said militiamen had driven back a Fascist attack on their mountain positions controlling | a vital railroad, only 18 miles north- west of Malaga, and had stood their | ground against an insurgent pusn at Ojen to the southwest of the port city. Plane Reported Downed. The Malaga defenders claimed to have brought down an insurgent plane and to have effected an aerial bombing of Fascist warships off Salo- brena on the Mediterranean coast, 31 miles south of Granada. Socialist militiamen claimed gains in their push toward Cordoba. Re- ports from that sector said one column, advancing on the historic city from the east, had ringed Mon- toro, about 25 miles from its ob- jective, and had forced capitulation of the Fascist garrison. Simultaneous gains were reported by columns converging on Cordoba from the southeast and north. FASCISTS CONVERGE ON MALAGA. Mediterranean Port of Socialists Crowded With Refugees. WITH THE FASCIST SOUTHERN ARMY MARCHING ON MALAGA, February 6 (#).—The converging land, air and sea forces of the insurgent generalissimo, Francisco Franco, to- day drew the lines of a great Fascist offensive several kilometers nearer Malaga, the refugee-crowded port, which is the government's most vital remaining outlet on the southern coast. The drive was launched today with nine vigorous thrusts from the north- east, north and southwest. As the insurgent cordon was drawn tighter around the beleaguered port, numbers of prisoners and quantities of supplies were gathered in. Fascist officers said they were meeting little resistance. local Fisher plant manager | COURTS REVAMPED IN NEW ZEALAND Plan Similar to Roosevelt’s Is Successful, Young Lawyer Says. In making his recommendations for & thorough overhauling of this coun- try's judiciary, President Roosevelt may have had in mind the success of a similar experiment in New Zealand. New Zealand hasn't established a proctor for its highest court, but in other respects it has done with its judiciary substantially the same things the President proposes for this country. According to A. T. S. McGhie, a young law graduate from Wellington, who is making a study of conditions in this country before returning to New Zealand to take up his law prac- tice, the experiment in his native land has worked well. In New Zealand, he said, there has been for many years a statutory re- tirement age of 72 for judges of the Supreme Court. When a judge reaches this age he is retired automatically. There is also provision for the trans- fer of judges from one district to an- other and for appointment of tem- porary judges where arrears of liti- gation become unwieldly. In recent years, McGhie said, this provision fre- quently has.been invoked, and the appointee to a temporary judgeship often was a recently retired judge whose years exceeded the statutory limit, but whose faculties remained unimpaired. By the crown suits act of 1910 in New Zealand, it is provided that no action which may affect the crown shall be taken before any court until one month’s written notice shall have been given to the attorney general, who may enter an appearance and plead in the suit. Even after the | month’s notice has expired the At- torney General may still plead, pro- vided the suit has not been deter- mined and provided he enters his | appearance within a further period of 28 days. Similar provisions apply to actions in which municipal corpora- tions are, or may be concerned. These provisions, he added, have done much to simplify the difficulties arising out of litigation affecting the crown and local bodies generally. From this country McGhie is go- ing to London to study for a year be- fore returning to Wellington, Rider (Continued From First Page.) every organization here, it seems, is seeking repeal of the rider. I think Congress should give serious consider- ation to their views. The Board of Education also favors repeal of the rider. That is a responsible agency of the District and its views should be respected. Congress should look the board for guidance in all edu- cational matters. 4Vill Not Object. “I haven't talked with Mr. Ken- nedy for some time and I did not | know he planned a compromise. But | if he is absolutely certain his original | bill will be defeated, then I will not | offer any objection. Perhaps through an amendment we can de- ‘nroy the effect of the red rider now, lnnd later have it repealed outright.” | Representative Scott, Democrat, of | California does not propose to let the amendment. Like Dirksen, he | believes the House should vote on the toriginal bill and he plans to force liamentary maneuvers. Scott said if he can get recognition | as soon as the bill is called up in the House he will move its consideration before Kennedy can offer an amend- | ment. | “The issue facing the House is not | communism,” Scott declared. “I hope | to force a roll call vote on the origi- | | nal bill so the educational and parent- | teacher organizations in the States | will_know how their representatives | n Congress stand on such a ques- tion.” Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, president of the District School Board, declared yesterday that the board “has in- dorsed repeal of the rider. Its inter- est,” she asserted, “has always been in the point that the red rider caused so much confusion in the presentation of Soviet history. The substitute Wwould seem to continue this con- fusion. “The board never has and never could permit the advocacy of any un-American doctrine. Therefore the substitute would seem as unnecessary as the red rider itself, Board Has Legal Duty. “The Board of Education is charged by law with the responsibility of su- pervision of the courses of study in the schools,” said Mrs. Doyle. “Last year’s report of Mr. Kennedy, made on May 7, 1936, in favorably reporting the bill to repeal the rider, said in part: ‘The present law is not only an innovation, in that there is no legislative body which prescribes courses of study in the scveral States, but it is contrary to the traditional American system of conducting our public schools. The traditional American system of con- ducting public schools has been for many years to have boards of educa- tion selected from representative citi- zens of the school district or city. ‘The members of such boards are not educational experts, but they exer- cise » general supervision over the conduct of the schools. They engage superintendent, principals and other teachers who are experienced in edu- cation to map out the course of study and prescribe methods of in- struction.

Cor.8th&F Na.2032 Kennedy get an opportunity to offer | | consideration of that measure by par- | body existed to prescribe what should ' and should not be taught in the schools.’ “The Senate report of May 12, 1936,” said Mrs. Doyle, “reads: ‘The repeal of this provision would not give to the Board of Education of the District or the teachers authority or encouragement to advocate com- munism. In the opinion of the com- mittee the effect would be exactly | to the contrary. If the Senate sup- ports the view of the committee Andl this law is repealed, the Board of Education will have full responsibility, which it should militantly exercise in preventing the use of radical text- books in the schools and the employ=- ment of teachers inculcating subver- sive doctrines into the minds of the school children of Washington.’ No Instance of Violation. “The school board is prescribed by law as having the responsibility, and fully assumes the responsibility, of not having any teacher who advocates communism in the public schools,” said Mrs. Doyle. “There has not been a single instance where any of the 3,000 teachers of the public schools have advocated communism or indi- cated any sympathy with that system.” Similar sentiments were voiced by Henry I. Quinn, attorney and member of the school board. ‘“The Kennedy substitute,” he said, “will just get us into another stew. Who knows what an un-American doctrine is in the conception of some of these super- patriots? “This new clause,” Quinn contended, “would result in a continual furore in the public school system. Every one with a political grievance will be con- tending that some subject or some textbook is un-American because it doesn’t wave the flag in the way they think it should be waved. “If the red rider substitute abolishes the semi-monthly statements signed by teachers it wili relieve the schools of an administrative burden, of course,” he continued. “But it is an outrage to leave a cloud over our public school teachers when there is not the slightest proof that any of them has ever ad- vocated communism in their class rooms. “It’s a shame that the House should | take this tack after the Senate has voted outright repeal of the thing.” Against Compromise. Mrs. William Kittle, president, Vote- less District of Columbia League of Women Voters, said: “The Voteless District of Columbia League of Women Voters stands for | outright repeal of the Red Rider. The | league is unalterably opposed to any | compromise.” Mrs. Richard Hogue, president, Washington branch of the American Association of University Women: “The Washington branch of the American Association of University Women will under no circumstances support any such amendment to H. R. 148 as Mr, Kennedy is said to be contemplating. “We believe that if this bill were thus amended it would constitute a | vicious and wholly un-American in- ‘mngement upon the province of the | responsible school authorities, and | would only prolong the unparalleled situation which has been created in our school system by the Red Rider. H R. 148 should be passed in its _:orlgmal form—a straight repeal of the rider.” - Kennedy himself still thinks the red | rider should be repealed. “But I am | satisfied, after talking with many members of the House,” he said. “that they will not support my bill for that purpose. Since the red rider is so wrapped in misunderstanding there is | only one thing left to do—destroy the llefl;ct of the rider mow and kill it ater.” | Has Preferred Status. Kennedy's “red rider” repeal bill has a preferred status on the House calendar and will be the first measure called up tomorrow when District leg- islation is considered. Various par- liamentary tactics are expected to be adopted by its opponents to forestall consideration, and a lively battle is anticipated. In addition to the Kennedy bill there are five other District bills on the House calendar which can be called up tomorrow. The most im- portant of these is the Norton bill to modernize and humanize juvenile court procedure. The District com- mittee favorably reported this measure Wednesday. Another would amend the Police Department salary act to provide two classes of detectives, and a third would increase the penalties for persons convicted of felonies. A fourth would authorize construction of a new building for the recorder of | deeds. A prolonged battle over the “red | rider,” however, would prevent con- | sideration of these bills until the next District day in the House, February 22.

E¥ the Associatec Press. ALEXANDRIA, Va, February 6.— James G. Martin of Norfolk, presi- dent of the Virginia Bar Association, urged members of the bar of Northern Virginia tonight to “keep up with the law and preserve the honor of an honorable profession.” Martin discussed the role of an at- torney as an officer of the courts and emphasized that his conduct profes- sionally and in private lfe should always be exemplary. J. Randall Caton, an Alexandria attorney, toastmaster at a dinner at- tended by more than 100 lawyers of Northern Virginia counties and a number of circuit judges and State officials, told the attorneys that “we do have the greatest respect for the usefulness and integrity” of the courts. “Our security is in- danger if the integrity and usefulness of our courts is in danger,” he sald. He urged the attorneys to discuss | fully the problems presented in con- nection with judicial administration and to face the issues fearlessly. Etuart B. Campbell, a former presi- dent of the State Bar Association, | spcke of the work of the House of ciation, while Lawrence W.

PALESTINE TOPIC AS JEWS CONFER “Open Door” Must Be Main- tained in Holy Land, Dr. Wise Declares. Referring to rumors that the British government might curtail Jewish im- migration into the Holy Land, Dr, Stephen S. Wise, national chairman of the United Palestine Appeal, de- clared last night in addressing the National Conference for Palestine that “the door of Palestine must re- main open.” Representatives of more than 2,000,- 000 Jews attended the opening of the two-day sessions at the Mayflower Hotel. ‘The Holy Land city absorbed ap- proximately 150,000 refugee Jews in the past three years, Dr. Wise said. American Jews contributed $2.076,- 327 in 1936 for colonization, immigra- | tion and ceneral reconstruction in| Palestine, it was reported. Arab Question Discussed. Eliezer Kaplan of Jerusalem, treas- urer of the Jewish Agency for Pales- tine, told the nearly 2,000 delegates, “We do not wish to dominate the Arabs. Nor do we wish to be domin- ated by the Arabs.
