VIRGINIA ‘SIT-NS' QUITRAYONPLANT Peery Hopes Move Will Lead to Early Settlement at Covington. By the Associated Press. COVINGTON, Va., April 8.—Evacu- ation of the Covington plant of the Industrial Rayon Corp. by “sit-in” strikers was a source of “gratification” today to Gov. Peery, who expressed the hope it would lead to an early settle- ment. “It seems to me” the Governor said, “that the move will promote more friendly relations between the employes and the employer, and both should approach a settlement in a more friendly and co-operative spirit.” Manager Surprised. Charles H. Dasher, manager of the plant, who said the evacuation by 160 employes under the leadership of Robert Gaffney, U. T. W. organizer, came as a “surprise” to him, also expressed the opinion the development might contribute to a strike settlement. He added, however, he did not know what position corporation officials at the Cleveland home office would take, or if negotiations would be under- taken. Gaffney, in active charge of the strike, now in its tenth day, said there was no reason to expect “any trouble” and that a “peaceable picket- ing of the plant will now be carried on.” Less than 20 pickets watched the plani gates last night after the work- ers had returned to their homes and the tenor of the “friendly” sit-down apparently was unchanged by the re- versal of methods. The union leaders have called a public mass meeting in the Alleghany Court House for tonight when a dis- cussion of the strike situation is planned. County authorities, leaders said, have granted permission to use the public building. Blossoms (Continued From First Page.) Predicted warmer weather will bring out the full beauty of the blossoms by the week end and thousands are ex- pected to turn out to see the blooms | on Sunday. Hotel managers were either capacity crowds, or reservations filling their establishments had been made. Railroad, bus and air lines reported | an increased business into Washing- ton, while Washington Tourist Camp heads said they would have no avail- @ble room by nightfall. The spirit of the festival was evident throughout the city. Some business establishments put on cherry blossom displays, while some held cherry blos- som sales and named special refresh- ment concoctions in honor of the colorful event. Fountains Turned On. As a special tribute to the blossom festival, the National Capital Psrksi office turned on most of the fountains in the park system. Conspicuous among them was the Rainbow Foun- tain at the Lincoln Memorial Reflect- ing Pool. It began operation at 10 o'clock this morning and was to be left on until the end of the festivities tonight. ‘The Cascades in Meridian Hill Park, the Chevy Chase Circle fountain and others about the city will be operated until 5 p.m. also. Queen to Take Throne. Queen Sakiko will tuke her throne on the ‘“sakura maru,” or float, dur- ing the Marine Band concert, be- ginning at 7:45 p.m. Accompanymgy the queen will be her attendants, her 8-year-old sister, Masako, and young friend, Barbara Caldwell, 10, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis G. Cald- well. Lighted by spotlights, the 30-foot float, made into a huge swan, will slowly circle the basin and arrive at Queen'’s Float, on the north basin gide, where Queen Sakiko will be greeted by Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, who will crown her with ap- propriate ceremony. En route to the float the queen will pass through a “manufactured” mist and will be eompletely hidden from view for sev- eral seconds.

For the pleasure of the Queen and the thousands of visitors expected to witness the coronation exercises, Miss Evelyn Davis and her dance group will again perform. The dances will precede an elaborate fireworks display beginning at 9 p.m. and climaxing in the blossoming of a cherry tree in flames. Principal dancers at both the per- formances this morning and the one this evening are Miss Davis, Elizabeth Jenkins, Dorothy Ross, Betty Ward- well, Lois Bowen and Mary Happer. ‘The dancers are performing under sponsorship of the Community Center Department and the Office of the National Capital Parks. Their pro- gram tonight will include a “Dance of Greeting,” to be followed by a “Court Dance” and an interpretation of the “Legend of the Cherry Blos- som.” Over 5,000 Seats Placed. More than 5,000 seats will be placed on the north basin slope near the Queen float. If any seats remain un- sold by nightfall, they will be placed on sale at the scene. Tickets for the reserved seats were on sale today in all large downtown hotels at 25 cents apiece. A sellout | was predicted. | President and Mrs. Roosevelt have | been invited to witness the events, but | it is not known whether they will be | able to attend. The Japanese Ambas- sador and his staff are scheduled to be present. Queen 8akiko and her aister, Mas- sako, also will be guests at a party this afternoon at the Wardman Park Hotel. A children’s festival is planned for tomorrow as a part of the festival week program. Approximately 400 children of the third, fourth and fifth grades of the Wheatley School will present a dance festival at 4 p.m. beneath the cherry trees at the Tidal Basin. ‘The youngsters will perform in Japanese costumes designed by themselves. The huge, flower-bedecked swan which will carry Queen Sakiko on her basin trip met with a slight accident {1ast night when L. J. Louistro, 38, a National Park Service engineer, was overcome by fumes from it's gasoline engines during a rehearsal. The young queen was not aboard, nor was she frightened when it struck the basin wall after Louistro collapsed. Craft Is Repaired. Louistro was removed from the en- gine room and taken to Casualty Hos- pital, where he was released after treatment. Efforts of fellow workmen to revive him had been futile. The slight damage to the craft was re- paired last night. The Capital Transit Co. will run a special bus service from the south side of the Treasury Department Building to the blosson area all day today until 11:30 o'clock tonight. Additional street cars also will be placed in service, company officials announced, in calling attention that Route 50 cars, operating on Four- teenth street, will take passengers directly to the northwest end of the Tidal Basin, at the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. The entire Bl.un roadway system will be closed to vehicular traffic at 6 o'clock. Special details of police- men will be on hand to direct visitors and to see that sightseers do not pick blossoms or sprigs from the trees. The Basin road along the east side will be closed and used as s park- ing area. Only cars with parking stickers will be admitted. WHERE TO DINE. The Cuergreen 1106 Maryland Ave. S.W.

LONDON, April 8 (£).—The min- ister of education suggested yesterday that Britain's portly cabineteers bow down and try to touch their toes to demonstrate the need of physical training in England. He was Oliver Stanley, who seconded the government’s physical training for youth bill, and regretted that previous debate left him only this new argu- ment: “Perhaps if the House could see the members on the front bench trying to touch toes some of use have not seen for years, it would be more effective than any peroration.” Commons cheered.

BERLIN, Aprii 8—The Diplo- matische Xorrespondenz, semi-official organ of the German foreign office, complimented Cordell Hull, United States Secretary of State, today on his efforts to restore world trade between nations. “The important declarations of Mr. Hull,” the organ said, “evince an extraordinarily active interest in foreign trade problems and meet with full agreement here.” Outlining Germany's attitude on world markets, Korrespondenz con= tinued: “Germany desires, on the basis of healthy national economy, to partici= pate in international trade as actively as possible. “She is willing to make her proper contribution just as soon as intere national efforts to remedy conditions really promise success. “The world must realize, however, that Germany can contribute only if certain pre-conditions arising from the peculiarity of Germany's situation are fulfilled. “These include, besides regulation of foreign debts, the solution of raw material and colonial problems as well as maintenance of German exchange on the present stable basis.” Prince Sails for London.

LONDON, April 8.—Pleasure cars quickly eonvertible into fully equipped offices will enable King George VI to catch up with state duties while motor- ing between numerous functions at- tendant on his coronation May 12. Central arms between the spacious rear seats will contain a hidden “sec- retariat” so that the King can work almost as efficiently as at Buckingham Palace. In this respect, the machines resemble the staff cars used by British Army commanders in Prance during the World War.

He and Queen Mary generally sat in the forward part of the tonneau on high “jump” seats, leaving the roomier rear seats to their attendants. Queen Mary still prefers this old- style type of car and a new 20-horse- power model with the familiar coach- work has been ordered for her use during the coronation.
