DETROIT, September ,13. — The newly elected General Executive Board of the United Automobile Workers of America meets today to pass on the eredentials of organizers and reports | persisted that a left wing purge was &t hand. President Homer Martin said before the meeting: “The U. A. W. is going to be an American organization and if some of | the people don't like it they can go| back to Russia. As long as I am presi- dent I am going to dictate the inter- mational policies.” Today's Executive Board meeting is the first since the recent international | convention at Milwaukee in which Martin was re-elected. He controls the Executive Board. Employment Terminated. Organizers and office employes here have received notice that their employ- ment has terminated, to be resumed | only if the board renews their cre- dentials, Asked directly if any organizers were %0 be dropped because of communistic | leanings, Martin said “you'll see.” Saturday at a closed meeting of shop stewards in Flint, Mich., hot spot in last Winter's General Motors strike, Martin clashed with Robert ‘Travis, a member of the union’s five- man Flint board, the president charg- ing funds had been squandered there. ‘Travis replied to Martin: *If any individual disagrees with the president he is branded a Com- munist by the president.” Martin said he was convinced money | had been handled honestly, but was misspent. Result of Audit. An audit of the Flint local’s finances ‘Wwas presented by W. U. Ayling, auditor for the International. Although union officials declined to discuss the fig- ures it was reported unofficially the audit showed $199,801 collected be- tween November 1, 1258, and August 1, 1937, and $179,000 spent. | Travis was reported as having said “the money was invested over a year's period and returned to the workers & dividend of $250,000 & week in the gorm of higher wages.” Reports have persisted that Travis Was to be ousted at today’s meeting, HEAVY DEW IS BLAMED FOR CRASH OF BOMBER None of Army Men Hurt as Huge Plane Goes Into Skid After Landing. By the Associated Press. NORFOLK, Va., September 13 —An wnusually heavy dew which rendered inffective the brakes of a huge Army B-10-B Martin bomber was given yes- terday as the reason for the damaging of the plane in Janding yesterday dur- ing the 20th Squadron's training pe- riod at the State military reservation, Virginia Beach. None of the crew of four was hurt, Lieut. Col. Robert Olds, commander | of the 2d Bombardment Group, said | at Langley Field, from which the | damaged plane came. Lieut. Ongacre, the pilot, was com- ing into the landing fleld normally, but the dew apparently rendered in- effective his brakes. The plane rolled without brakes for a distance, and then the brakes suddenly and force- fully took hold, causing the bomber to skid. Col. Olds said the plane skidded sbout 50 feet, then went over a foot high embankment at a road. The| landing gear collapsed under the | {N. L. R. B. WILL RESUME By the Associated Press. 13.—A soft-spoken, blue-eyed school- | girl reigned as America’s No. 1 beauty | queen today—much to the embar- | rassment of a steel pier full of city officials and beauty contest sponsors. And while the officials, frustrated and weary, declared “she can't do this to us” Miss Bette Cooper, 17- vear-old Miss Bertrand Island of | Hackettstown and Miss America of | | 1937 went right on doing it. | “It” being a complete and whole- | hearted snubbing of the fruits of her victory: A six-week vaudeville con- | | tract, a $400 offer for five days on | the steel pier and a flying trip to| Hollywood for a screen test included. “Back to School.” “No movies, radio or vaudeville for me!” she said today. “I'm going to| stay in bed and get rid of this cold | and then back to school for me.” | A streamlined youngster of 5| feet 6 inches and 120 well-placed pounds, Miss Cooper is strictly an amateur beauty with no ulterior de- signs. She skipped from America's playground yesterday a few hours after her crowning, leaving behind a bewildered group of sponsors, officials and contract-padded dignitaries. Mayor C. D. White, all the city commissioners, George Tyson, pag- eant director; Edward Curtis, chair- man of the Judges Committee, and sundry others met. in rapid, im- promptu conferences. Confer and Confer. They conferred and conferred, but the answer still came out the same— Miss America of 1937 was gone and what’s more she wasn't coming back. “Very peculiar,” they muttered, lift- ing eyebrows. ¥ Meanwhile, tired but serene, Miss Cooper arrived at her Hackettstown home with a flustered escort of three young men and reiterated that as far as she was concerned the Atlantic City beauty contest had passed into the limbo of swell but forgotten things. She admitted she had gotten one thing from the affair and this was a blossoming acquaintance with Lewis Off, one of the rescuing trio and son of an Atlantic City hotel man and city commissioner. Her father, Le Brun Cooper, a State THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Miss America of 1937 Spurns Contracts and Officials Wail o ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., September | BETTE COOPER. Highway Department engineer, sum- med it up this way: “It was too strenuous for Bette. Her mother and I feel she's too young for all that fuss. And besides she has a cold and needs a rest.” The explanation, relayed to officials at the height of their “this-can’t-be- true” discussion, was received in hushed silence, HEARING IN CUMBERLAND Attorneys for Republic Steel Will Examine Own Witnesses as Testimony Opens Today.

SUCTION SUDS™ THEATER BLASTS HURT a0 PERSONS Stench Bomb Explosions in New York Cause Panics. Labor Row Blamed. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 13.—Stench bombs exploding simultaneously in & score of upper Manhattan and Bronx motion picture theaters last night in- jured more than 50 persons and caused panics among the Sunday night audiences. Police reserves and ambulances were hurried to the theaters while members of the police bomb squad started an immediate investigation into. the wave of explosions, Only one of the injured required hospital attention. The others were treated by physicians, most of them lacerations of the feet and legs caused by the explosions, or for chemical burns. Samuel D. Cocalis, head of the firm which operates the theaters as units of a chain, said, from his Deal, N. J., home, that he believed labor difficulties were responsible for the bombings. He said his operators were members of the Empire State Union, an inde- pendent organization, and that he had | contracts with them for the last 10 years. Cocalis said officials of another motion picture operators union had been trying to get a contract for his theaters. Special police guards were ordered for all theaters of the chain, and po- lice headquarters ordered reserves into the Times Square district to be on the lookout for similar trouble there. Pickets were marching in front of several of the theaters last night, po- lice reported, as a result of a dispute over employment of operators. Of those injured, only Isadore Ehrlich, 16, was taken to a hospital. A fragment of glass from one of the bombs was removed from his foot. il B ot e B S DO YOU NEED A TELEPHONE? . i CHANGE OF ADDRESS? . DIRECTORY ADVERTISING?
