. Broadening of Inquifi Info Labor Board Seen With More Funds Meetings to Draw Up Preliminary Report May Fill Hearing Gap BACKGROUND— Spectal House committee, headed by Representative Smith, Democrat, of Virginia has been investigating National Labor Re- lations Board since last fall. Public hearings have been under way since December. Committee is charged with recommending any changes in Wagner Labor Relations Act which it may con- sider necessary. By CARTER BROOKE JONES, A broader inquiry into all the effects of the Wagner Act, as ad- ministered by the National Labor Relations Board, was seen today, after the House approved yesterday a second $50,000 to defray the ex- penses of the special investigating committee authorized last July. The House allowed the additional money without a récord vote and without debate. Afterward Chair- man Smith said to newspapermen that the sum would enable the com- mittee to carry out more completely the purposes of the resolution cre- ating it. He had asked for the authorization, by direction of the committee, after the original $50,000 appropriation was nearly exhausted, Preliminary Report in Prospect. ‘With the hearings adjourned from early yesterday afternoon until next ‘Wednesday, the committee planned to hold executive sessions from time to time in an effort, it was under- stood, to agreeson a preliminary report to the House, in the hope that some amendments to the Wag- ner Act might be considered by both branches of Congress at the pres- ent session. The committee’s legal and inves- tigating staff, meanwhile, assured of sufficient funds to carry on for some time, made plans to widen the probe. Thus far the testimony and docu- mentary evidence developed by Ed- mund M. Toland, general counsel of the committee, has been confined largely to the board’s methods of | procedure and to charges of par- FINNISH VILLAGE AFIRE AFTER BOMBING—This is an out- lying Finnish village, ablaze after Soviet planes had bombed it, according to Finnish-approved caption, which stated the planes dived low, machine gunning civilians.

Vigorous Protest Made. Sweden has protested formally and vigorously to the Kremlin against the raid, and the Russian denial is considered tantamount to ignoring the protest. Political circles said that if Rus- sia fails to give Sweden satisfaction diplomatic relations between the two nations would be endangered. It was understood that the re- port of Parliament'’s Foreign Affairs | Committee on the Pajala bombing would be heard in tomorrow's ses- sion and the affair generally dis- cussed, although it was indicated Hospital Emergency Room Turned Into Obstetrical Ward ‘The. emergency ward of Emergency Hospital was turned into an obstetrical ward in a hurry early today. A colored woman walked into the emergency room about 4 am. At 4:10, she gave birth to a 7-pound-4-ounce girl—a “very fine baby,” mother and hospital attaches agreed. Dr. Clifford Webb, an interne assigned to early morning duty, delivered the child. Hospital officials said they believed the woman, Mrs. Elsie Boone, 2100 block of E street N.W. walked to the hospital, apparently alone. Water Pageant Considered For Cherry Blossom Fefe A water pageant may be staged in | the Tidal Basin as the main feature of this year's Cherry Blossom Fes- tival, according to plans under con- sideration by the Festival Com- mittee. ‘This was one of the possibilities discussed by the committee at a meeting yesterday with Chairman Edgar Morris in Commissioner Mel- vin C. Hazen's office. Mr. Morris emphasized, however, that no final decision has been reached on any details of the festival program as yet. A sunrise or sunset service and a fireworks exhibit also are under| consideration, committee members | said. Chairman Morris said the com- mittee will meet again next Thurs- | day. At that time, he said, it hopes | to be able to set a definite date for | the festival. The time ‘depends, of | course, on the appearance of the| blooms. Among those attending yesterday's meeting were Commissioners George E. Allen and David McCoach, jr.; Police Supt. Ernest W. Brown, Ma Horace Smith, White House aide; Capt. P, J.

Malnufrition, Says Milo Perkins Cure for Unemployment Held Chief Concern Of Agriculture By the Associated Press. DES MOINES, Iowa, Feb. 24— “Farm surplus” is a smug way of saying that nearly two-thirds of the families in the United States are not getting enough of the right kind of food to eat, Milo Perkins told the .| National Farm Institute here today. The Federal Surplus Commodities Corp. president declared: “We have been smart enough to make tractors and mechanical corn pickers and dial telephones; are we smart enough, however, to find work for the folks thrown out of work?” Raymond Buell, roundtable editor of Fortune Magazine, suggested that lower prices are the solution to age riculture’s problems. “It may be that the priee of cot= ton, corn or wheat is too low,” he said, “but I am convinced that the price of dairy products and meat— particularly of milk—is too high. “The best way of increasing purchasing power is in lowering the price to the consumer in the hope that volume will increase so rapidly vhay costs will decline and farm revenue will be greater than ever before.” The two-day institute, theme of which is “The American Farmer and the European War,” closes to= night. About two-thirds of America's families existed on incomes averag= ing approximately $69 a month in 1935-36, Mr. Perkins said, adding: “Every time an unemployed man gets a job every farmer in America ought to yell hallalujah. The une satisfied wants of two-thirds of our people make up the greatest new market that has ever loomed befors our businessmen and our farmers.” Vitamins are to be extracted from black currants in a new factory in the Krasnodar Territory of Russia.

But the empowering resolution of the House also charged the commit- tee with determining “what effect, if any, the said National Labor Re- lations Act has had upon increasing or decreasing disputes between em- ployer and employe; upon increas- ing or decreasing unemployment and upon the general economic condition of the country.” These broad questions have been barely touched on to date. They are expected to be gone into more thoroughly as the hearings con- tinue, The committee has heard consid- erable evidence bearing on another point in the resolution—*“whether the * * * board has by interpreta- tion or regulation attempted to write into said act intents and purposes act. Western Trip Unsettled. There was talk, early in the in- quiry, that the committee might hold hearings in Detroit and possi~ bly on the West Coast. This matter has not been settled, it was learned. If the committee makes prelimi- nary recommendations at an early date, these will cover matters brought out in the testimony. Any other changes in the law or its ad- ministration that later evidence may point to would be to reserve for pres- entation at some time nearer the close of the investigation. Though no announcement was made, it was believed that the com- mittee took the Friday-to-Wednes- day recess in hearings in a further effort to get together on a prelimi- nary report before the end of the month. How the five members feel about the evidence brought out— whether a majority thinks amend- ments to the act are essential—no one will now say. All Fafality Witnesses Face Traffic Inquest Call All persons who have any knowl- edge of the circumstances of fatal traffic accidents must be directed to appear at inquests, Coroner A. Ma- gruder MacDonald declared yester- day in continuing a hearing into the death of William F. Stetson, 73, of 417 Massachusetts avenue N.W., who succumbed Tuesday in Casualty Hos- | pital from injuries received when he was struck by a taxicab at Sixth and G streets N.W. Sunday night. After a woman passenger in the cab testified her husband had been asleep beside her at the time of im- pact but had awakened and lent aid in carrying the victim from the] street to the sidewalk, Dr. Mac- Donald called for the busband. The witness said she had understood it would not be necessary for him to be present, since he did not see the accident. The coroner directed that he be summoned. A date for continuation of the in- « quest has not been set. Earlier James B. Ritter, 70, of 210 F street N.W., who died in Casualty Hospital Monday, was held by a coroner’s jury to have caused his | own death through carelessness. The jury thereby exonerated Motorman D. F. Butler, 25, of Hyattsville, Md., into whose street car Mr. Ritter ap- parently walked in the 200 block of G street N.W. early Monday. This case had been continued from ‘Wednesday by Dr. MacDonald after he learned police had not summoned passengers in the street car whose names they had obtained immedi- ately after the accident.

Also in the wedding party were | Mr. Bralove’s sons, Richard Bralove, | student at Catholic University, and Allan Bralove, a junior high school | student; the bride's young daugh- {ter Joy and mother, Mrs. Helen Selby, of St. Louis. Both Mr. Bralove and the bride had been divorced. | ;Would Elevate Watchmen A bill to give watchmen in the National Zoological Park the status {of National Park Police has been introduced in the House by Repre- sentative Shafer, Republican, of Michigan at the request of the American Federation of Govern- | ment Employes.

Police Called in Police, trying to get everything clear in their own minds, gave the following explanation of the game of tag they played with each other last night in the neighborhood of 2224 H street N.W.: Sam Lubitz, proprietor of a gro- cery store at that address, was in the basement, supervising work be- 1rg done by & plumber. Mrs. Lubitz was upstairs, keeping the store, when she saw three men get out of a car in front of the place. She heard one give orders to an- other to “go to the back door.” Then she saw all three pull out shiny metal objects and start toward the store. Mrs. Lubitz wasted no time—- she bolted the door, called police 6‘“ shouted to her husband. i . Officers on Another Mission ‘Robbery’ Find Mr. Lubitz and the plumber bounded up from the basement and decided to slip out of the store to get help. Mr. Lubitz was on his way to the corner when one of the men halted him. Police arrived a short time later and found Mr. Lubitz in custody. ‘They started to round up the sus- pected trio—and discovered that the men were law enforcement officers. Two of them were deputy United States marshals,” while the other was a policeman in plain clothes. They had appeared in the neigh- borhood to serve a summons and had stopped Mr. Lubitz to find out why he was running away. The shiny metal objects were flashlights.

Previously, Lord Lothian, British Ambassador here, had described re- ports of the use of force to remove the mails as “eyewash” and the State Department had issued a statement saying that it had received no ad- vices indicating that the British used force. ‘The controversy arose from a re- port by an asserted eye-witness to the January 18 incident that ma- rines or soldiers were called to en- force censorship officials’ demands for the clipper mail and they took the mail “at bayonet point.” A sec- ond eye-witness corroborated this story yesterday, except that he was unable to say what kind of arms the “marines or soldiers” carried. Holt Demands Inquiry. In the meantime, Senator Nye, Republican, or North Dakota said in a speech last night that “arrogant Britain” would come quickly to terms about the seizure of mail at Bermuda if the United States would pass up Bermuda as an airmail stop. A congressional investigation was demanded by Senator Holt, Demo- crat, of West Virginia, who said he would ask that Pan American Air- ways officials be summoned to give the Senate Postoffice Committee “the complete story” about seizure of mail from their planes at Ber- muda. The official statement issued last night at Bermuda explained that presence of the special constables was needed for “production of a show of force large enough to create 8 ‘force majeure’ situation (in law, roughly tantamount to an act of God or unavoidable accident) which would enable the captain to yield the mail without any question of failing in his duty as a United States mail carrier.” ' | occupy a grave with her. {War Department Awards |Go to D.
