A—2 en THE EVENING MAIL LAW CHANGE (URGED BY BALEY Suggests Legislation to Clarify Delivery Restriction to Senate Probers. BACKGROUND— United States Steel, representing some 40 per cent of industry, avoided labor troubles this Spring by meeting and signing agreements with C. I. O. Jones & Laughlin jollowed suit, but three independents—Republic, Youngstown and Inland—refused. Latter two closed plants, but Re- pubdlic elected to fight. Controversy over mail deliveries arose in eflorts of company to fur- nish food by mail to workers domi- ciled in plant. Postal authorities refused service. By the Assoclated Press. Senator Bailey, Democrat, of North Carolina, said today that legislation to clarify restrictions on mail de- livery should follow the Senate in- quiry into the Midwest steel strikes. Discretion in refusing to make de- liveries in cases of danger, he said, should be defined 50 as not to include “such man-made supposed dangers as are involved in this strike situation.” Allegations of interference with mail service to strike-bound plants will be one of the principal subjects covered in the investigation, ordered yesterday by the Senate Post Office Committee. Members may bring up any other phases of the strike they wish, for the inquiry was designated as a ‘“pre- liminary” one. Chairman McKellar, in charge of arrangements, said he wanted to in- quire into reports that the Republic Bteel Corp. had offered to provide guards to escort the mail through picket lines. “That looks to me like an attempt fo take the Government into partner- ship to break the strike,” he said. Denies Interference. First Assistant Postmaster General Howes told the committee yesterday that “abnormal” deliveries of food packages to the steel plants had been discontinued because the safety of postal employes was endangered. He denied charges of interference. Benator Guffey, Democrat, of Penn- aylvania, at whose instance the in- qQuiry was broadened to include the conduct of both parties to the sarikes and charges of illegal transport of arms and strikebreakers, had yet to decide what witnesses he would call. It was expected, however, that Philip Murray, head steel organizer for the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion, and individual strikers might be asked to testify. Senator Bridges, Republican, of New “that there has been a break- down of law and order in strike areas.” Sees Dangerous Weakness, “T believe Senator Bailey dealt with 8 dangerous weakness in our govern- mental structure,” Bridges continued, “when he emphasised the vast powers under which the Postmaster General ean curtail mail service. - “The only limit to his discretion under present law is that conditions must be ‘unnh."h‘ . bellet, to dn- invoke it under attorney for Republic Steel. Bridges said the testimony might suffice to bring out all the facts with- r action. ressed concern, however, of funds make it impossible witnesses to be called. If s hindrance, he said, he | ask the Senate to finance the mittee’s decision to hold | came on a motion by | Senator Holt, Democrat, of West Vir- | ginia, & persistent critic of the Com- | mmittee for Industrial Organization.

Dr. Schmecke- bier does all the markers and trail signs for the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, an organization of avid hikers, and makes a special hobby of trying to foil those perenial pests, the people who want to carve their initials al over the landscape. One sign, up on Mount Katahdin, was 50 thoroughly blotted with pencil marks and carved initials that the good doctor had to replace it recently in order for his fellow club members to recognize it as a marker, not an Indian totem pole.- In its stead he put two signs. & marker, is made of zine.

CRUISING ON BAY President Leaves Annapolis on Yacht—May Join Son on Schooner. Bs the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, June 12—The U. S. 8. Potomac, with President Roosevelt and guests aboard, sailed from a Naval | Academy dock at 5:30 p.m. yesterday on an ovrnight cruise down Chesa- | peake Bay. At the same time the President's elder son, James, sailed on the two- masted schooner Sewanna, intending to join the President today. The Sewanna is a private yacht | Which the President used last Summer to sail from the Maine Coast around Nova Scotla to his mother's Summer home on Campobello Island, New Brunswick, The fact that the President took along an extra blue flag denoting his rank was believed by reporters to mean he would transfer from the Potomac to the Sewanna if conditions are good. The President made the trip from | Washington to Annapolis by motor, | His guests aboard the Potomac were Attorney General Cummings, Secre- tary and Mrs. Wallace, and Miss Mar- | guerite Lehand, his personal secretary. After cruising in the bay he will sail up the Potomac River and dock at| Washington this evening. | As soon as the President went aboard, the Potomac ran up his flag and made ready to put out. Before it sailed, however, a motor boat went out and towed from the yacht's course two half-raters, small sailboats, in which some midshipmen had besn becalmed. — e | Raynor, Jasper E. Hill.

SUMMER CONGERT SERIES UNLIKELY National Symphony Unable to Finance the Project, Needing $40,000. For the first time in three years, ‘Washington apparently will be with- out a series of Summer symphony concerts at the Water Gate of the Arlington Memorial Bridge. C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent of the National Capital Parks, said today he has heard nothing further from the Civic Grand Opera Col of Philadelphia, which previously ex- pressed a desire to put on a series of concerts here this Summer. It is understood the opera company was interested in securing a Works Progress Administration grant from the Gov- emnment, with which to construct a floating stage and sound shell to be tied up at the Water Gate, as was done in previous years. The National 8ymphony Orchestra spparently is unable ‘to finance a barge, a stage and shell, in order to sponsor a concert series this year. William F. Haiber, engineer in Fin- nan’s office, said today that around 440,000 would be required to con- struct a suitable permanent stage that could be used each Summer at the Water Gate. The park authorities are without funds to do this, but they are hopeful that, even at this late hour, business or other interests might come forward with the necessary financing. A barge would cost $20,000, while an equal sum would be required for the acoustical shell and stage for the musicians, Haiber declared. In 1935 the National Symphony Or- chestra and the park authorities were successful in securing a barge from the Navy for a few weeks. The shell constructed on this cost around $17,- 000. Last year the Summer Bymphony Concerts Association, sponsored by & EIGHT GENERALS GOTOSWIFT DEATH “Dogs Die Like Dogs,” Shouts Soviet Press, Hail- ing Purge in Army. B the Associated Press. MOSCOW, June 12—8oviet Russia sent to the firing squad today eight men who once were the flower of the mighty Red Army and proclaimed through its press: “Dogs die like dogs!"” The eight generals went to certain swift death on confession and cone viction of treason. There was no ape peal from the verdict of the military collegium of the supreme court, which branded them traitors in the spy service of a foreign enemy. The newspaper On Guard said: “The execution of these dogs will cleanse and purify the air of the 8oviet Union."” Pravda, Communist party organ, said: “Dogs die like dogs. There is no place for such murderers in the Soviet scheme of things. The mighty wrath of the people will wash off the face of the earth any traitor or spy trying to weaken the Red Army by plotting against conquests of the socialist reve olution and against wealth seized and belonging to the people.” Calls for Death “Immediately.” The nation's highest tribunai ane nounced the verdict at 2 am. (6 p.m. E. 8. T, Friday), condemning Mar- shal Michail N. Tukhachevsky and seven generals, including important figures in the military hierarchy, to death “immediately.” Soviet cusiom dictates that such sentences must be carried out within 24 hours. The swift-moving military trial was deemed by foreign observers a3 probably the most important of the Soviet Union's treason trials, since it disclosed disaffection in the army's topmost ranks. Previous trials, which sent a total of 29 men to firing squads, were cone cerned with charges the defendants plotted with Leon Trotsky for tne overthrow of the Soviet regime. Marshal Tukhachevsky Included. The secret trial stripped the eight of all military rank, including the title “Marshal of the Soviet Union" accorded Tukhachevsky two years ago when the rank was established. Only four others in the Red Army nave achieved that designation. Two marshals sat on the tribunal in judgment of the generals and Tuk- hacheysky, the brilliant 44-year-old strategist, who was vice commissar for defense until a month ago. 8ix gene erals and Vasily V. Ulrich, president of the dread court, were also judges.
