A—2 w2 Ultimate Death 0fD. C. Child Actor Bill Expecied House Sends Measure Back to Committee After Spirited Debate Ultimate death today faced a bill designed to amend the District child labor law to permit children to dance, sing or take part in any radio or theatrical production for pay. Fate of the measure was virtually determined when the House late vesterday, after an hour's spirited debate, returned it to the District Committee, from whence {t came, for further consideration. Indica- tions are the committee will con- sign the bill to a pigeonhole. The measure was recommitted by & 183 to 134 roll call vote—the first one taken in the House a® the pres- ent session of Congress on District legislation. Action was precipitated by & motion of Representative Bolles, Republican, of Wisconsin, & member of the Distrfct Committee. Nearly a score of House members took part in the debate. Most of them registered vigorous protest against the bill on the ground it would be a step toward sabotaging the child labor law. Others took the posidion that public hearings had not been held an this particu- lar measure, and that the House was entitled to know before it acted the views of the Board of Educa- tion. Filibustering Tactics Used. The School Board, under pro- visions of the bill, would be required to pass on applications of child artists for a permit and also would be constituted as a censorship dic- tator over the produetions in which’ they would take part. Filibustering tactics had been em- ploved to prevent the bill from even being called up for consideration after the District Committee earker In the day refused to withdraw it from the House calendar at the urgent request of representatives of | 18 organizations. The filibustering move was initiated by Representa- | tive Marcantonio, American-Labor, | of New York, who also took a lead- ing part in the fight that resulted | in return of the bill to the com- mittee, Mr. Marcantonio charged enact- ment of the legislation would “open | the door to one of the most per- nicious rackets” in his State—the exploitmg of talented children theatrical agencies. He declared * chiseling gang” operates the agen- cies and gives only a small per- centage of the earnings of the chil- dren to their parents. Schulte Calls Up Measure. 1 ‘Those who favored passage of the | bill aligned themselves behind Rep- | resentative Schulte, Democrat, of Indiana, a former vaudeville troup- er, who still holds a card in the Actors’ Union. A ranking majority member of the District Committee, he called up the measure in the absence of Chairman Randolph, who remained at home recovering from ;:1 acute attack of ptomaine poison- g. Representative Dirksen, Republi- can, of Illinois,”another member of | the District Committee, joined Mr. Schulte in urging passage of the | bill, pointing out that under existing law Shirley Temple and other “child prodigies” could not perform in| Washington for compensation. Representative Jessie Sumner, also an Illinois Republican, suggest- ed that the bill be recommitted and that the District Committee redraft it in such a way to “cover child prodigies and not all the children at large.” Celler Urges Passage. A later plea for passage of the‘ bill was made by Representative | Celler, Democrat, of New York, who declared that under existing law a | number of outstanding stage shows could not be produced in Washing- ton, because it would be necessary to use children in the casts. He mentioned specifically the current | Broadway attraction, “Life With | Father” “King John,” “Richard IIL.” “Peter Pan,” “Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,” “Pollyanna,” “Child Alone,” “Penrod” and “Tom Sawyer.” “It is nothing less than utter ridiculousness that keeps the people of Washington from seeing such plays,” he said. Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley of the Woman's City Club, who said she represented 18 organizations in the District, appeared before the Dis- | trict Committee at its meeting yes- | HILL terday morning and urged that the | bill be recalled from the House | calendar and subjected to public | hearings. She declared the proposed legislation would “let down the bars” in Washington with respect | to the child labor law and set a| ‘bad precedent” for the rest of the | country. | When the District Committee | turned a deaf ear to her plea it is| understood some of the members in the delegation that accompanied her to the Capitol then made their pleas to other House members before it was voted to send the bill back to the committee and probably to oblivion.

NEW YORK, March 12.—A judge whose voice broke with anger de- nounced as “a dirty bum” a 24- year-old Canadian boxer who had just been convicted of first-degree manslaughter in the fatal bludgeon- ing of Dr. Walter R. Engleberg, Ger- man consular attache, The jury, which had heard coun- sel for Ernest Kehler contend he beat Dr. Engelberg to death De- cembgr 5 after the latter made immoral advances in his Brooklyn home, reached its verdict last night in six hours and 14 minutes. It was midnight when the jurors filed into a courtroom emptied af spectators. Outside in the corridor Kenhler’s bride, soon to be a mother, wept with her mother, Mrs. O. A. Letts of Ottawa, Canada. Frowns in Defiance. The boxer, who was arrested in Toronto two weeks after the killing, stood frowning in deflance as County Judge Peter J. Brancato congratulatéd the jury for its “ab- solutely fair” verdict and then re- marked heatedly: “But the defendant is a shrewd, clever individual and showed it by slipping in his defense of intoxfca- tion. He was no more drunk than you or 1.” Looking down at the 6-foot-2- inch, powerfully built figure before him, the judge continued: “What in thunder made this man kill? Was it sex? I doubt it. He is Jjust a cheap bum. Only two men in the world knew what really hap- pened in that room, and one is dead. This man is lucky he was not con- victed of a higher degree.” Refuses to Tell Age. Kehler, who may receive up to 20 years in prison, surlily refused to tell the court clerk his age and birthplace before he was returned to his cell for sentencing later. He said he had been a coal miner. As they led him away his wife, Mrs. Barbara Muriel Kehler, leaned against a wall and sobbed: “I have done everything they told me to do. They promised me every- thing would be all right. If they keep my Ernie in jail he will die soon.” Defense Counsel Leo Healey indi- cated, after Judge Brancato refused to permit him to reserve a motion to set aside the verdict. that no new trial would be sought.

A few of the pertinent signs caught by Washington statisticians are: Automobile zales are in many cases from 35 to 50 per cent larger than at this time last year. Steel pro= duction, skidding to about 65 per cent of capacity, is falling under actual requirements for use. Textiles are dropping. But private building is improving. War Lifts Exports. ‘War has lifted the export business. As many or more goods were shipped in December and January than at any. time since 1930. Great Britain and France were the chief buyers, but the lessened competition spread the pick-up in American sales to all corners of the world. Great Britain is trying to remedy that now. - Air- craft, machinery, metals and metal products, chemicals and raw cotton accounted for most of the gains. A billion dollars in new war or- ders seems likely to be placed by the British and French purchasing com missions. Experts say this will give fresh impetus not only to the rapidly expanding airplane industries, but also to parts and tool makers Aircraft Recovery Rapid. ‘The latest chart of net profits and percentage of return on investment by the chief industrial groups shows that the aircraft and parts industry staged the biggest recovery of any other in 1939. Its average return on investment in 1938 was 14 per cent; 4 in 1939 it was 15.5 per cent. Only three industries failed to show a pick-up in earning percent- ages in 1939 over 1938. Distilling, which paid 16.8 per cent on invest- ments in 1938, eased off to a 13.7 re- turn in 1939. Farm implements, re- turning 6.8 in 1938, dropped to 52 in 1939. Fertilizer dropped from 3.4 in 1938 to 2.2 in 1939.

THE PUBLIC IS INVITED Democratic Leader Barkley said there was “no hurry” about the farm bill, which would make ap- propriations for the year beginning July 1. Although a report circulated among some Senators that Presi- dent Roosevelt had suggested the farm bill be deferred until the Hatch measure had been disposed of, Senator Barkley asserted he had no such information. He was one of the congressional leaders who talked with Mr. Roosevelt-at the weekly legislative conference yes- terday. House Due to Pass Navy Bill. Across the Capitol, speedy House approval was forecast for a bill to authorize a $655,000,000 expansion of the Navy. It would permit con- struction of about 21 more combat ships, 22 auxiliary vessels and 1,011 new planes in the next two years. ‘The proposed increase, for which funds would have to be provided later, was little more than half the amount recommended by Secretary Edison as necessary to give the United States even “a fair degree of security” under present world conditions. The Senate yesterday was filled with spirited oratory and frankly- worded exchanges between friends and foes of the Hatch measure. Charging that the opposition was conducting a filibuster, Senator Clark, Democrat, of Missouri, noted that some opponents had contended that an issue of States’ rights was involved. He reminded them that some of their number had voted for such measures as the N. R. A, and pointedly asserted: “Only in this hour when this measure is brought in here is the cry of States’ rights raised.” He had been “moved to tears,” he said sarcastically, by pleas for “the inalienable right of charwomen to be mulcted of 2 per cent of their pay.” One amendment came to a vote during the day, which also showed the pro-Hatch group in command. This was on an amendment by Senator Brown, Democrat, of Michi- gan to forbid political activity to officers of corporations, receiving salaries of $25,000 a year or more, which have Government contracts or receive tariff benefits. ‘The opponents of the Hatch bill flocked to its support in the hope that if it were written into the bill its presence would alienate the Re- publican membership. But they were beaten, 53 to 31. Over 90,000 people are now em- ployed in Northern Ireland’s linen industry. say those who have won spurs in these philatelic battles, could have made more noise than the clatter | which will come from the experts who will hot foot it into the Post Office Department to protest. ‘What's wrong? The stamp depicts a rider on a horse which is bent on the task of carrying the mail, its mane stream- ing in the breeze and hooves aham- mering. But, say equestrians who have peeped at the stamp, the rider is being very casual about his reins— he’s letting them dangle as if his mount were eating hay. And then there’s the saddle.
