TWO FORD CASES ARE CALLEDTODAY Labor Board Hearing and Assault Charges Are Scheduled. Br the Associated Press. DETROIT, July 15.—The Ford Mo- tor Co. figured in two legal proceed- ings today—one a continuation of & National Labor Relations Board hear- ing and the other a court examina- tion of nine men on assault charges. ‘The nine were called to appear be- fore Common Pleas Judge Ralph W. Liddy, who issued assault warrants naming them and others after a grand jury investigation of the beat- ing of more than a dozen union mem- bers outside the Ford plant in Dear- born May 26. «In the N.

Colombo, Ford counsel, told Trial Examiner John T. Lind- £3y yesterday afternoon’ that “I am getting tired of having you rebuke me all the time” when Lindsay had s8id “I want no arguments” after the attorney objected to certain testi- mony. ' This exchange came while Clifford Bheldon, a former Ford foreman, was on the stand. Sheldon related that he reluctantly formed a squad of foremen to “Kick out of the plant” any workers who tried to strike. “He said he was instructed by a superior, Ray De Clerque, to organize the foremen during the General Mo- tors and Chrysler strikes a few months ago. Sheldon identified a list ©f more than 75 names as being those of men he enlisted for the work.

The service de- partment polices Ford property. Sheldon said his special patrol was on duty for’about 15 minutes on March 15 when a strike was threat- ened. He said that when the com- pany discharged him, another fore- man told him some one had “been telling stories about you.” He joined the U. A, W. A, he said, after dismissal. ¥ The former foreman said workers were told not to talk when service men were in sight, and another former Ford worker, Elmer Mackie, asserted that “every time you'd look behind you there would be a service man looking 8¢ you.” 8heldon said the production workers #are “afraid of” the service men, “be- @Rlise if one of them took your badge ber and turned it in, it was as #@ood as being fired.” MIAMI PREPARING - FOR BIGGER SEASON %bh’city Tax Raised to Spread s Charms Before - Public. By the Associated Press. % MIAMI, Fla, July 15.—New houses are going up here at the rate of 40 ® week—so the city arranged yester- day for Northerners to see more pic- tures of bathing beautles next Winter than ever before. The Publicity Board recommended the commission raise the publicity levy from 1! to 2 mills, which is ex- pected to provide $238.000 for various forms of advertising and promotion of sports events. “ The City of Miami Beach, where 20 18w hotels and 100 apartment houses have been built since the first of the year, also will spend more for pub- licity this season. The levy probably will remain at 2 mills, but heavier tax rolls are expected to provide more than the $96,000 fund of last year. New construction in ‘the greater Miami area for the first six months of 1937 amounted to $13,267.082, includ- ing extensive business building as well 8K 1,500 residences and numbers of hotels and apartments.

Because we are inclined to be fair game for almost any kind of super- stition, provided it rhymes, the Bureau of Biological Survey recently has sup- plied us with some information on snakes, about which we have enter- tained—but not very much—the customary illusions. ‘The Survey people wish us to know that you cannot keep snakes away from your bed by hanging up a coil of horsehair rope. On. the other hand, snakes seldom sleep in bed and aren’t apt to be found testing the mat- tress unless encouraged by music, offer of hot dogs or friendly cooing sounds. The latter data, to be sure, is our own, not the B, §.'s. Know ye also that there are no snakes with spikes for tails. (Never heard there were, but the superstitions we don’t know about are not discrimi- nated against in this column.) Nothing to those good old Southern yarns about hoop snakes, that grab their tails in their mouths and just roll along, roll along home to mammy. The hoop snake is & legend. There is no such thing as a glass snake—the one you're supposed to be able to hit with a stick, if you can hit anything with a stick—break to pieces and then watch “mend” again right before your big brown eyes. Nothing to the stories about snakes milking cows. (Tut. Tut. Such non- sense. The C. L O. would picket 'em if they did.) “Coachwhip snakes” do not lash and beat men to death. They don't even lash and beat. They don't even ride on coaches. They are as harm- less as a garter snake, which has nothing to do with garters, or a king snake, which abdicates if you even hiss at it. Oh, yes.

SHANGHAI, July 15.— Chinese banks, including the Central Bank of China, which is owned by the central governmemnt, were reported today to have shipped out more than $100,000.- 000 in gold and silver to the British colony of Hongkong, presumably for safekeeping in the event of war with Japan. Although banking and official sources declined to discuss the matter, it was reported every ship sailing for Hong- kong was loaded wih large quantities of the precious metals. The Empress of Russia was sald to have carried $27,000,000 in silver for transshipment to London, while another $20,000,000 in silver was reported aboard the liner President Coolidge. Despite the tenseness of the situa- tion caused by clashes between Chinese and Japanese in North China, the of- ficial news agency reported from Kuling that Premier Chiang Kai-shek was remaining there. Other officials vacationing with him have been ordered to return to the capital at Nanking. The generalissimo “is in fine condi- tion and not perturbed by the tense northern situation,” the agency re- ported. Other Chinese sources de- clared Gen.

The National Mediation Board is preparing to intervene in the threat- ened Nation-wide railroad strike, Unless representatives of the earriers and the 14 non-operating unions come to terms today on a new wage and hour agreement, the board will step in to- morrow, officials said. Negotiations are deadlocked. The unions demanded an increase of 20 cents an hour. The carriers first offered 2 cents. Further compromises have been proposed, but none accepted. If the Federal board intervenes, present wage and hour levels will be frozen until the board decides further mediation would be futile. After that, President Roosevelt could order a truce while & presidential board investigated and reported on the strike issues. George M.

The day's business included adop- tion of a constitution and approval of by-laws and election of officers. Among those expected to appear on the banquet program tonight were William L.

Reports that new truces had been agreed on in the North China fight- ing were also said to be false. Officials said neither Nanking nor North China officials had signed “any truce at any time, regardless of Japanese assertions to the contrary. It was pointed out that the Chinesc | Communist troops are 700 miles from | the center of operations in Hopei Province, separated from Chinese regu- lars by barren mountains. Use of rail- | way facilities controlled by the Nan- | king government was considered highly | unlikely. Relations were not cordial enough between the Communist leaders and Gen. Chiang, it was thought, for the Communists to be permitted to go anywhere as an organiaztion, much less into Hopei, where they would give the Japanese a long-sought ex- cuse to undertake a Communist sup- | pression campaign. FREEDOM OF PRESS SEEN ENDANGERED “Economic Front” Forces Are Threatening Newspaper Rights, Chapman Says. By the Associated Press. Oscar L. Chapman, Assistant Sec- retary of the Interior, said last night that forces outside the Government on “the economic front” are threatening to impair the freedom of the press. Every great corporation “and every powerful aggregation of capital” he said, “has its public relations depart- ment, headed by a high-pressure and & high-priced ‘public relations coun- sel’ whose function it 1 to try to make the public see things from the standpoint of the employer.” In many cities, Chapman asserted, “the press is subservient to its ad- vertisers.” He added, hoviever, he did not believe “this to be the practice among the better class of newspapers in America.” In an address prepared for delivery over & radio network, Chapman said the press “must not only assert its freedom but carry its full obligation to the public to tell the truth.” He declared it is “of the easence of our democracy than any newspaper * * * may criticize or denounce any public official up to and including the President.” DR.

O. attor- neys accusing the State's attorney's office of pursuing an anti-union policy. The -four union lawyers jumped to their feet and shouted the charge after Assistant State’s Attorney Mal Coghlan explained during questioning of & witness that his office in investi- gating the rioting was not concerned with the positions of strikers or em- ployers in the case, but merely was performing its official duties. “It's apparent the State attorney’s office is against trade unions and the C. 1 0.,” the union counsel cried.

In it, Napoli said, Selinek named Joseph Weber, & union leader, as one who “talked about arming the men with guns and clubs” before the march toward the Republic property. Selinek Sees Mix-up. As the State attorney’s office ques- tioned him about the police station statement, Selinek said he couldn't remember making certain remarks and added he believed the statements were “mixed up.” “I never was in police trouble be- fore,” Selinek answered excitedly, “and when I joined the union and started to fight for my rights I never thought I'd be in anything like thi He said the police treatment of the men at the station was “terrible” and | the officers had taken there wounded men “who belonged in hospitals.” Deputy Coroner James J.

Included was a $105,000,000 flood- oontrol program, half the cost of which would come from relief funds. Some Senators have predicted a presi- dential veto because of the provision. After separating the War Depart- ment’s non-military items from ths $415,000,000 appropriation for military purposes, the House voted $52,500,000 for flood control. The Senate doubled that and proposed additional authori- zation for the Army Engineers to enter contracts totahng $48,000,000. Under the compromise, $52,500,000 would be appropriated directly and that same amount would be earmarked from the $1,500,000,000 relief fund for this fiscal year.

NEW YORK, July 15.—A photogra- pher snickered, a newspaper reporter laughed out loud and the ghost of Howard Thurston disappeared last night. At least Stanley K. Werner, the stubby, white-haired spiritualist of 102d street, said the ghost was gone. No one else had seen it. 80 some one in the pitch black darkness asked Werner to describe the spirit. “How does his mustache look?" asked Joseph Dunninger, the magician, Who has offered $10,000 for an au- thentic spirit manifestation. “Is it darker or lighter?” “It's darker,” said Werner. “Well, he must have grown one,” Dunninger said. “He never had one on this earthly plane.” That's when the photographer tit- tered and the reporter broke down. ~—Copyright, A.

Alma, his medium, gave a demonstration of levi- tation and repeated the voice of a woman ‘“spirit.” A dozen or 5o reporters and photog- raphers had assembled in Werner's stuffy basement apartment to act as Dunninger’s jury in his third seance with Werner. A few months ago the little spiritualist attempted to summon the spirits of Edison and Conan Doyle to the tower of the Empire State Building. The ghosts didn't show up. Recently Werner sent Dunninger a letter which, he said, was dictated to him by the ghost of Howard Thurston, the magician, saying the ghost would appear “in person” at Werner's home. But nothing happened—at least not enough to make Dunninger write out his check for $10.000. Werner said Thurston’s ghost blamed it on the snickering audience.
