B—8 » K BUILDING TRADES CHIEFS SEE PEACE Picking New' President Only Obstacle in Way of Har- mony, They Say. By the Assoclated Press. DENVER, September 30.—American Federation of Labor building trades leaders predicted today they would settle their back-stage feud before it developed into a serious split. Picking a new president for the building trades department was the only major obstacle in the way of peace and harmony. J. W. Williams, president for the last ‘three years, was generally ex- pected to announce publicly he was not a candidate for re-election. His friends have said his “retirement” was due to the opposition of William D. Hutcheson, president of the Carpen- ters’ Union, to his re-election. At the carpenters’ convention last Fall in Lakeland, Fla., Williams, also & carpenter, opposed Hutcheson for re-clection because of Hutcheson's op- position to President Roosevelt. Hut- cheson has been chairman of the Re- publican National Committee’s labor division during the past two presiden- tial campaigns. Only if Hutcheson attempted to dic- tate Williams’ successor, leaders said, would there be a possibility of a break. Hutcheson was reported to be d manding revision of the present meth od of settling jurisdictional disputs disputes between two unions which should do a specified job in | construction work. Some leaders predicted that Hutche- son would withdraw the carpenters from the department if he were de- feated all along the line. The car- penters were out from 1921 to 1934. ‘The carpenters' president, on his arrival here yesterday, announced he would vote for expulsion of John L. Lewis’ C. I. O. unions from the A. F. L. at the convention here next week. WOMAN DOCTOR'S DEATH IS DECLARED SUICIDE Body of Dr. Catherine Lankford, Princess Anne, Found in Car, Pistol at Side. By the Associated Press.

Hollywood Body Muscles In on Beauty Picking By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, September 30.—If the folks of Atlantic City are weeping and gnashing their teeth today it is because the Committee for the Im- provement of American Standards of Beauty has muscled in on the beauty contest monopoly. ‘The newly organized committee held a contest yesterday without the build- up customary to such events, lack of same having caught 157 Hollywood photographers at routine assignments with the Alice Fayes, the Joan Craw- fords and the Claudette Colberts. The committee announced Betty Grable, blond, 20 and shapely, as its “Miss Ideal America.” That Miss Grable won hands down and that the committee’s choice was so unanimous there wasn’t even a run- ner-up didn't surpise anybody, even Miss Grable. The committee, which met at Para- mount, the studio whose flims Miss Grable ornaments, suggested it would be a good idea for Atlantic City and other pretenders to the business of beauty picking to enter their girls in a tournament with the annual Holly- wood winner.
