PEACE-SEEKERS DRAW UP LAWS Student Federation Fears Faculties May Usurp Control of Body. A group of young men and women from colleges all over the country put the newly established Student Federation of the Catholic Associa- tion for International Peace on a permanent basis yesterday by adopting & constitution. The final action came after four hours of debate, climaxing a one- day discussion meeting at the May- flower Hotel. The constitution is tentative, it was made clear, and is “subject to revision and change in the locality where the need seems to warrant it.” The chief reason for the long ar- gument over the constitution was the desire of the youthful peace-seekers to prevent control of their organiza- tion by the “older generation” in the guise of members of the faculty of the colleges they attend. Objections were raised to sections of the consti- tution which students felt might turn their federation over to their elders. “No individual effort can be strong encugh to solve the peace problem, but it can be solved by the concerted support of the present generation,” Dr. Tibor Kerekes of Georgetown Uni- versity told the students. Dr. Charles Fenwick of Bryn Mawr | College, Bryn Mawr, Pa., president of the Catholic Association for Interna- tional Peace, defined for the students at a luncheon meeting a constructive program for international peace.

THURSDAY, APRIL 1, Strike (Continued From First Page.) | work because of the Reo Motor Car Co. strike at Lansing. Approximately 3,000 employes of the | Yellow Truck and Coach Co. were at work when that strike started at 9 am. The strikers took control of the plant and for an hour would permit | no one to enter or leave. Then em- ployes in plant offices and 1.000 non- union workers left. The remainder prepared to occupy the plant. Harry Grossman, vice president of the company, said no demands had been received from the workmen. Clerks Turned Away. Four strikers guarded the office +entrance to the Fisher plant at Pon- tiac, turning away clerical employes. There was some traffic congestion as 2,000 day shift employes reported for work, only to find the gates closed. A union shop steward said the sit- down was called because the manage- ment refused to recognize the shop steward system and was precipitated by the discharge of three men. He | said a settlement conference was in progress. At the big Yellow Truck and Coach plant, which covers 80 acres at the southern edge of Pontiac, strikers and | company police together guarded the entrances. Although company officials said in | Detroit that the Yellow Truck plant was not affected by the G. M.-U. A, )| W. A. agreement, a union sokesman said that union shop stewards were recognized under the agreement at one time. This source said that two employes were discharged yesterday s | for union activities and that the man- agement refused to negotiate with stewards who attempted to present a protest. The sit-down strike, he declared, would continue until the men are re- instated and the shop steward system of settling grievances is recognized. Murphy to Press for Peace. Gov. Frank Murphy said he would “press night and dav” for a solution of the Chrysler strike when his confer- ence with corporation officials and U. A. W. A-C. I O. leaders resumes. Sixty thousand Chrysler workers and more than 20,000 employes of dependent companies are awaiting & settlement to return to work. Walter P. Chrysler, corporation chairman, and John L. Lewis, head of the C. I. O, are to return to Lansing for the re- sumption of the conference. Both have been in New York on business. ‘Whether Lewis would be able to re- turn as scheduled, in the event a threatened soft coal strike material- izes, was not known. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of Amer- ica, left the Governor's conference to participate in the coal wage parley. B. E. Hutchinson, Chrysler finance chairman, announced that “We have found it necessary to lay off many of our salaried employes and reduce the compensation paid to others retained to perform necessary services during this shut-down period.” “This corporation’s pay rolls must be earned through the sale of its product to the public,” he said. “This source of income having ceased, pay rolls, both salaried and hourly, have of necessity to be adjusted accord- ingly.” The Michigan Senate deferred until April 7 action on three bills intended to prevent sit-down strikes. In a radio address last night Gov, Murphy sald: “It is my first duty as Governor to attempt” to solve Mich- 1gan’s labor troubles. He said pressure had been exerted “upon me to take sides in the present controversy.” “I have been urged,” he said, “to ‘shoot the workers out of the factories and thus end sit-down strikes once and for all’ When they want that done tney will have to get another man for Governor of Michigan. “Those who demand it—and I pe- lieve that they do so sincerety—argue that preperty rights must be respected and protected. I agree with them, but I feel even greater respect ard protection should be accorded human rights. * * = “I want no human blood to besmirch the fair name of this Stat SPECIAL NOTICES.

BY the Associated Press. Secretary Morgenthau said todayi that “the Federal Reserve Board and | the Treasury, working together, have ample funds to keep the Government bond market orderly.” E In response to press conference questions, the Treasury Secretary de- clined to disclose the sums the Treas- ury has available for investment, but emphasized that, with the Reserve Board funds, there is ‘“plenty of money.” Morgenthau said he did not be- lieve Government buying would have any long-range effect on the bond market. “All I have ever tried to do,” he explained, “is to use investment funds to keep an orderly market. No one has enough funds to put the market up or put it down, and I wouldn’t use funds for that purpose.” Reports earlier this week indicated that Treasury funds available for investment were almost fully invested. Morgenthau pointed out, however, there is a continuing inflow of cash into Treasury trust funds. He did not say how much this totaled. Asked whether he would favor new | taxes or a slash in expenditures if Federal revenues fail to level up with budget estimates, the Treasury chief said President Roosevelt “is the only one who has authority” to make a decision on changes in the budget. Morgenthau said that Mr. Roose- velt'’s budget estimates in January are the last official word on Govern- ment finances. SLIDE CONTINUES. NEW YORK, April 1 (#).—Secretary Morgenthau's statement today on Treasury and Federal Reserve Board funds had little effect on declining United States Government loans. Following & brisk opening, Federal issues dropped off steadily, with the 16 most active bonds falling deeper into new 1937 low ground. Activity slowed a bit when the Treasury head’s remarks were published. A few bids for Treasury loans in 25-bond lots came into the market at prices minor fractions above the morning’s lows, but they failed to stem the down trend. There were reports of some scale-down buying as the decline progressed. Losses in the forenoon ranged to roughly $7.81 per $1000 bond. The Federal Farm Mortgage 3%s of 1964 suffered the sharpest reaction, with Home Owners’ Loan 3s of 1952 and Treasury 2%s of 1933 each off about $5.62 per $1,000 bond. Other outstand- ing setbacks ranged down to $3.12 per bond. — D. C. OFFICER ASSUMES MCARL HITS PLAN ON REORGANIZING Says Roosevelt Proposal Would Spel! End of Con- gress’ Money Control. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, April 1.—Surrender to the recommendations of President Roosevelt's Committee on Govern- mental Reorganization “would spell the end of Congress’ ability to control by law the uses of the public money, John Raymond McCarl, former con= troller general of the United States, said today, addressing the Chamber of Commerce of New York State. McCarl further declared the reor- ganization plans of the administration are being considered behind closed doors by a joint committee. “It is unthinkable,” he said, “that s0 serious and far-reaching a matter should be taken to the floor of either house of Congress without full public hearings.” “I can't believe there is danger of such a thing being done. However, we are warranted in these times in taking nothing for granted. I would urge all citizens to be alert.” Sees Expense Cut Vital. McCarl prefaced his attack on the President’s reorganization plan with a statement that he was firmly con- vinced that reorganization of the Gov- ernment, with a view to cutting ex- pens was vitally essential. The’l President’s plan, he insisted, looked for no economy, but rather called for greater expenditures. “No savings by law, recommends the President’s committee,” said Mc- Carl, “let the Congress abdicate in favor of the Executive is its urge.” “If we are to avoid utter exhaustion of the national credit—even bank- | ruptcy—avoid riotous inflation, an- other crash—or worse, it is imperative that we bring costs of government within Treasury income, that we bal- | ance our budget, stop borrowing for | Government spending. “We can bring Government spend- ing within income only by reducing Government costs or by increasing income—or by a combination of both.” Praise for Byrd. McCarl gave credit to Senator Byrd of Virginia and a small group | of Seantors who worked with Byrd for earnestly trying to bring about governmental reorganization that would really cut down governmental expenditures. ‘This group, however, has been submerged in the joint con- gressional committee, with the ap- pointment of a preponderance of Sen- ators who are ready to do what the President wants, McCarl continued. “Savings?” said McCarl. “The re- port does not even suggest savings. Ad- ditional costs? Assured—and substan- tial costs. 1mproved administrative methods? Conjectural and exceedingly doubtful. Further surrenders of con- gressional responsibility to aid execu- tive growth? Many and with mal‘ consequences.” McCarl said that under the Presi- | dent's program ‘“our independent ac- counting system” would be emascu- lated; that it was intended to be emas- culated. “The proposal to wreck our inde- pendent accounting system,” he said, “going as it does to the authority of the | Congress to effectively safeguard and | prescribe the uses of public money, | reaches out far beyond any matter of | reorganizing existing agencies. It is proposed to revamp the respective jurisdictions of two of the three co- ordinate branches of government— with loss by Congress of means whereby to discharge its constitutional re- sponsibilities to the country.” The proposal in the President’s plan to establish two new major depart= ments of the Government, McCarl in- sisted, would cost a lot of money. In view of the need to reduce costs, he said, it would be “terribly wrong.” With reference to the proposal to place the independent, quasi-judicial governmental agencies, like the Fed- eral Trade Commission, the Interstate Commerce Commission and others, | under cabinet heads, McCarl said: “What might be the condition inl this country of ours if one man, and | he the head of a partisan political | organization in power, could influence at will, even dictate, the investiga- | tional activities, the policies and the decisions of such powerful regulatory agencies as these independent com- missions? That power—to favor or to ruin—to reward or to pum.sh—a.s means life or death in industry.” Gnroll for Classes Starting Aprll 1 SPANISH mous Conversational Berlitx Method TREBERIITY SCHOOL O GES 1115 Conn.

NEW DELAY SEEN ON AIRPORT WORK Congress’ Failure to Act Promptly May Again Postpone Project. Fear that congressional delay In dealing with the airport situation here will result in failure of legislation for the eleventh consecutive year was ex- pressed today by Charles F. Horner, president of the National Aeronautic Association. Horner pointed out that although a Congressional Commission was created more than a year ago to select an - airport site, with instructions to report to Congress at the beginning of the present session, the commission has not yet submitted a report. “In discussing the situation with aeronautical organizations throughout the country,” Horner said, “I find that invariably they express the greatest concern over the local airport situa- tion. The aviation people of the country cannot understand why the Capital, of all citles, still lacks an adequate airport. ?ffl%XWl@&m&fiwxfl%%MMXWWWX&WW&WX&X% SMALL'S HOME FLOWER MARKET Dupont Circle—1503 Connecticut Ave. SpeciALl AN T April 1. *k® A—3 “I am afraid that because the country generally does not understand the method of local government in the District the lack of an airport here is considered a reflection on the District government and the people of Wash- ington. “I am convinced that if rmembers of Congress really knew the opinion pf flying people throughout the United States they might adopt a more ag- gressive attitude in dealing with this situation.” Horner pointed out that for many years the N. A. A. at its annual con- ventions nas adopted resolutions stressing the need for & model airport here and calling on Congress for ac- tion. “The situation is becoming more serious every year,” Horner said. “As airplanes grow larger the necessity for longer runways and better ap- proaches becomes more urgent. In spite of the recent improvements at Washington Airport, it is inadequate for the operation of the big transport airplanes now being put into use by the major airlines.” SEE (S BEFORE YOU CLOSE ANY DEAL On a New De Soto or Plymouth MID-CITY AUTO CO.
