Chairman Norton said many members believed even the commit- tee’'s less sweeping proposals went She added: “Many of us most certainly will vote for a motion to recommit the bill (send it back to the committee) it is loaded up with a bunch of e Barden or similar amendmenty.” Representative of Georgia, who ranks next to Mrs. Norton among the committee Demo- crats, agreed. He said the com- mittee’s proposal to exempt a group of operations closely related to the farm from the 42-hour maximum work week was too broad. But Mr. Barden predicted that most of his proposals would be ac- cepted by the House on a final vote, probably Monday. Barden’s Argument. Mr. Barden has proposed that 16 operations, connected with proces- sing or manufacturing farm prod- ucts, be exempted from both the work week limitation' and the 30- cents-an-hour minimum wage re- quirement of the law. He contends that the statute results in increased costs which are passed on to the farmer by cutting the prices paid for his products. Mr. Barden told the chamber during yesterday’s four hours of debate: “If you are going to put a floor (of wages) under those who handle agricultural products, then, for God’s sake, do not put the farmer under the floor.” Representative Healey, Democrat, of Massachusetts retorted, that a “log-rolling combination” of lum- ber, cannery and dairy interests was trying to deprive more than 1,000,000 persons of labor standards provided by the act. Party lines split. Republicans and Democrats spoke for and against the Barden proposals. Both sides criticized Elmer F. Andrews, for- mer administrator, for his admin- istration of the wage-hour law. | Cox Called Anti-Laber Leader. There also was considerable talk | about wages in the South and about Representative Cox, Democrat, of Georgia, leader of the forces seeking broad exemptions from the law. Representative Welch, Republican, of California called Mr. Cox “a coalition anti-labor leader” and the forces behind him “Cox's army, whose object is to deprive a million and a half workers of the protection + * | of a law which requires the payment of a meager 30 cents.” Mr. Welch added that these forces would “re-enslave” these workers “to a starvation wage of 5 and 10 cents an hour.” | Representative Ramspeck said it was true that income in the South was lower than in other parts of the country and expressed belief that the wage-hour law would prove of benefit there. “lL am one of those from the "|South,” he said, “who believes the time has come when the South can- not live on a different strata from the rest of the country.” Stockholm (Coqtjnugg Fronlix-r‘git‘g’aze.) Germans gradually were solidifying their positions along the west coast and seeking to establish contact be- tween scattered detachments. No developments were reported from Narvik, where a small German force still is holding out.

Evans, which Yas been admitted to probate in the Orphans’ Court here, bequeaths his entire estate to his widow, Mrs. Kate I Evans. The instrument does not reveal the value of the estate. The will of Mrs, Ida Betteker of Potomac also has been admitted to probate here. It leaves the entire estate in equal shares to her chil- dren, Murray Betteker, Margaret Betteker, Maud Lloyd and Florence Ruth Ferrell. N the entire far northern area—but only at the price of having railway communications destroyed before the Germans there capitulate. Narvik is connected by rail with Sweden, notably the port of Lulea on the Bothnian Gulf. Meanwhile circumstances indi- cated that Sweden, which has is- sued strict orders against all travel across the Norwegian-Swedish fron- tier, has an improved chance of maintaining her neutrality. . Ger- man trade delegations continued to carry on their negotiations here. Hundreds of Norwegian soldiers were fleeing across the Swedish border east of Roros after the town had been recaptured by a German lightning column gathering new mo- mentum in its northward drive through the Glomma River Valley toward Trondbeim. One hundred miles to the south- west, between Otta and Ringebu, a second German column attempting to push up the parallel Gudbrands Valley was reported engaged in a bitter, head-on battle with British troops dispatched from their con- centration point at Storen to bolster slowly retreating Norwegian forces. Storen Is the junction of two rail- way lines along which the German columns have been advancing in an attempt to establish land communi- cations between that west coast port and Oslo. 400 Interned by Swedes. The flight of Norwegian forces defending the Glomma River Valley was reported by Swedish newspaper correspondents last night after the Germans succeeded in recapturing Roros, which they occupied briefly Thursday, but from which they later withdrew when their position proved untenable. Four hundred Norwegian soldiers crossed the Swedish frontier and were interned today as the Germans, apparently reinforced, resumed their drive. North of Roros, which is about 50 miles from Storen, the Nazi advance was reported held up while small detachments of engineers hastened to reconstruct bridges destroyed by the Norwegians in their retreat. Upon occupying Roros for the sec- ond time, the Germans were re- ported to have seized the chief of police and clergyman as hostages and to have demanded 400 gallons of gasoline for their armored cars and trucks. They were said to have warned the Norwegians that if a single Nazi should be killed the town would be bombed without mercy. Forces in Roros Uncertain, The strength of the Nazi forces now in Roros was uncertain. Swed- ish newspapermen said the initial force which reached the town Thursday, however, consisted of 5 armored cars, 15 trucks bearing 150 men and 20 motorcycles carrying two men each. Reports of the German reoccupa- tion of Roros reversed the military picture “in the Glomma Valley, where the British earlier were re- | ported bringing up light artillery to support the Norwegians. The Norwegian high command, in & communique issued iast night, made no mention of the reoccupa- tion of Roros, but admitted that the Germans had made fresh gains with the aid of planes and artillery. The Narwegians credited British troops with destroying two Nazi armored cars on this front and said that one German bombing plane had been shot down. Nazis Extendéd at Steinkjer. Norwegian military authorities indicated, however, that the Ger- Steinkjer, some 50 miles north of Trondheim, from which the British ‘were compelled to retire earlier in the week after a drive southward from their base at Namsos. “‘f German forces at Steinkjer were' said to have been reinforced by troops landed at the head of Trondheim Fjord, the entrance to 0. | which is €ontrolled by Nazi guns at e | Agdenes Portress, As a result of reported German air raids, the port of Namsos, 100 mans were now well established at! 'STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, i | Democratic Ideals Now at Armageddon, Cromwell Asserts Security and Prestige Depend on Youths, Minister Declares By the Assoclated Press. TRENTON, N. J., April 2T.—James H. R. Cromwell, Minister to Canada, asserted last night that “our demo- cratic ideals and institutions now stand—literally—at Armageddon.” Mr. Cromwell, also candidate for the Democratic nomination for United' States Senator from New Jersey, said before the 1940 New Jersey Model Legislature for Youth, that “rival systems of government, rival ideologies, press close on every hand; their proponents loudly claim for them an eficiency, both for war and for peace, which the democra- cies have never possessed and in- deed, 50 they say, can never attain.” Mr. Cromwell urged 200 delegates to the annual mock legislature, sponsored by Y. M. C. A’s of the State, to obtain political education through “participation in the actual functions of a free representative assembly” as the “best insurance” against alien “isms.” He continued: 4 “For in this world of today * * * we must be able to demonstrate that our democratic institutions are not only the instruments of free- dom, but the tools of our economic and social progress. * * ¢ “You are, in effect, the political soldiers of democracy, and it is * * the steadfastness with which you ers, editor of the s 1s kil L 11 frant feud by Hat riders, Anne Ohio, his niece, she tlupl from s SEEEPE atiniat feBt 1 m‘: shot.

CHAPTER V. ‘When Anne Eliot was a little girl she had sat before an open fire and listened to the stories of her uncle, Carl Rogers, back to Ohio on & visit from the country of the high plains. Her imagination had quick- ened his stories, and in the coals| she had seen the whole pageant of | the winning of the West. The| Indian and the buffalo, the trapper, the pioneer in his covered wagon, the long dusty cattle trails—they marched before her in panorama. As she grew up the vision must have fingered in the background of her mind. She liked the quiet rns stand by your ideals, which will es- tablish our future security, pros- perity and prestige, both here at home and in world affairs.” M.

Alfo Hospital Charles Gerald Reddish, 41, news- | paperman and World War veteran, died Wednesday in Mount Alto Hos- pital after a long illness. He was buried yesterday in Arlington Na- tional Cemetery after Catholic rites at the grave. A native of Boston, Mr. Reddish had worked on various newspapers throughout the country, including ‘Washington papers. - Prior to his fatal illness, he had been in Wash- ington for a short time writing fea- ture articles. He was a member of the Rox Cross Club of Roxbury, Mass., and of the American Legion. During the World ‘War he served overseas during the greater part of the time the United States was a belligerent.

Besides, the violet-greens are very partial to feathers, and in moving closer to town for bringing up thelr children, they must travel farther out into the country and look more zealously for this important item. Thus, the folks who know the needs of their bird neighbors have realized their urgent requirement and sup- plied it. Not wishing to make the birds feel they had so little to do about establishing the apartment, feathers have been sifted on the breeze and swallows seem to appear from every direction. Were they happy? Such gay parties of them, racing back and forth in the air to catch or capture the precious flufly things raining through space for them.

The older people were too well satisfled, the young men too conventional. Because she was attractive and weéll connected, Anne had plenty of eligible admirers, but some restless imp of perverseness made her view them with a too critical eye.” More- over, there had been an episode in her life that barred all men from her. So when the news came of her uncle's death and the inherit- ance of his property in the West, she knew almost at once that she was going to see that country for herself. If she did not want to stay, there was always Massillon, And here she was, plunged into the heart of an adventure far more desperate tl any she had sought. At breakfast Anne’s neighbors avoided any reference to the dif- ficulty at the Sentinel building. Anne knew this must be because they had heard of her part in it. Since she wanted news of the latest developments she put a question to Rufe Jelks. Hat T Men Leave. “Have you heard anything this morning about the trouble?” “The Hat T men have left town. Pulled out late last night, I'll bet they didn’t enjoy saying their little piece to Russ Mosely.” i Nobody laughed at Rufe’s jeer. Nobody made any comment what- | ever. “You think he won’t approve of what his men did?” Anne said. The black-haired cowboy laughed, his reckless gaze traveling around the table. “He won't like the way they did it,” Jelks explained. “Mr. Mosely is our leading citizen. He supports the church and incidentally his hell-raising riders support the Jumbo, which Russ owns, lock stock, and barrel. That makes it nice, because the wages he pays his hands out of one pocket comes back into another. You'll enjoy meeting him, Miss Eliot. He's as smooth as the nap of one of those stovepipe silk hats that they wear in the East.’ “Don’t you, think you've said enough, Rufe?® Mrs. Russell asked, her warning gaze on him. Still Talks Too Much. “I reckon I have,” the cowboy said, his wide friendly grin on the woman at the head of the table. “If I was living in America I could say any doggoned thing I pleased, but here in Roossia with the czar sitting on his throne up there at the Hat T—" “You're still talking,” the board- ing house keeper reproved. “I once knew a man who lived to be a hundred minding his own business.” “That’s right,” agreed Rufe, help- ing himself to hashed browned po- tatoes. “I was reading his -epithet the other day. It said: “No friends, no enemies. Just no account. Not good enough for heaven, nor bad enough for hell.” As far as Anne could see the atmosphere around the table was not unfriendly to what the black-haired ranger rider had said. The general feeling seemed to be that critical discussion of Russell Mosely was dangerous and therefore to be avoided. Jim Silcott called for Anne after breakfast to take her down to the office of the Sentinel. He.wanted to go over the books with her be- fore turning over the plant. Rufe Jelks joined them. He had re- claimed his revolver from the Tivoll and felt a good deal more completely dressed. ‘The lock of the battered door at the Sentinel building was so badly sprung that they could not get in that way. Jim led them around to the rear, got in by the window, and opened the back door for them. Blind Leading the Blind. Rufe left the others in the little rear room and with & hammer and & saw tried to patch up the front entrance. The editor and the owner went over the finances of the news- paper together, a subject of which Amne quickly tired. She flung it aside with a toss of her curly golden head. “I never did like figures,” she ex- plained. “I'm sure yours are all right. Whit I want is to have you teach me how to be an editor.” “It will be the blind leading the blind,” he replied. “I've been & range rider and a cowman ever since I left schoof. After Carl Rogers was killed I jumped ia to fill a gap, but I don’t know anything about running a paper. Billy Putman takes care of the printing end of it. I couldn't set a stick of type in a week. All T do is gather news and write it and solicit ads.” “Well, how do you write news?” “I don’t know the right way, but Just stick it down as it comes. Like this: ‘Miss Anne Eliot, of Massillon, Ohio, niece of Carl Rogers, the late editor of this paper, came to town Thursday evening to look over the situation. Impressed by the bright future of Blanco, she has decided to stay here and turn the Sentinel into & first class live paper. Welcome to the Powder Horn country, Miss Eliot. This territory needs more APRIL 27, 1940. young ladies like you to rub off its rough edges,.” He amiled at her. “I'm leaving out the flubdub about how beautiful and accomplished you are. The point is to get lots of names into the paper. Folks get & kick out of seeing their names in print. And butter up the paragraph a little if you can.” Questions Land Grant. “What about this land grant feud? Do I have to take sides?” “No you can sit on top of the fence and ignore it. That's what a good many editors would do.” “Tell me about the land grants. Is there a right side and & wrong side to it?" “I think s0. You know most of the bare facts, don’t you?” “I know that the Kink of Spain gave a big grant to Don Jose Gand- ara, and that after Mexico was free from Spain the government through Armijo gave a large part of the Gandara to Don Antonio Aguilar, Just offhand I should think the Gandara claimants were in the right, since Don Jose's title preceded that of Don Antonio. But my uncle was on the other side, and so are you.” “It’s & complicated story. The Gandara grant was an agricultural one, but Don Jose used it only for grazing. He never took up resi- dence on -it, though some of his vaqueros probably built huts where they could live while herding cattle.” “Did he have to live on it to make his title good?” “Yes. The fact is that he had all | the land he needed and was not in- terested in this great tract. After it was given to him he did not want it. This is proved by what followed. The governor later carved slices | out of the grant and gave them to other settiers, with no protest from Gandara. Later, when Don Jose succeeded Megares as governor and captain general of the province, he officially endorsed grants out of the tract, not as from him personally but as from the crown. This seems | to me conclusive evidence that he had abandoned his claim. His heirs | took the same view, for they made no effort to hold any part of the | grants, Purchasers did not even | consider the Gandara grant as a | cloud on the title when they bought | from Aguilar's sons. When Russ | Mosely went down to Mexico City and for a son got a quit claim deed from the Gandaras, the general opinion was that he was buying a dead horse, but he has gone into court with documents—forged ones, | oust those in possession.” The Sheriff Arrives “Is the Hat T ranch on the old grant?” “Not the original ranch, but a {large part of the range is in it.” Rufe Jelks and & heavy-set man with cold bulbous eyes walked back through the building to the rear room. Silcott nodded to the man. “Miss Eliot, this is Sheriff Lawson” he said. He added, ironically, “I sup- | pose the sheriff has come to find |out who destroyed your property | 1ast night so he can arrest them.” “As a matter of fact I came to investigate the killing of Buck Sneve,” he said bluntly. well as I do, Lawson,” Silcott re- plied. “Prentiss and a bunch of |Hat T men attacked me and in | self-defence I was forced to shoot Sneve.” | “Not quite the way I heard the story, Jim,” the sheriff answered. Anne asked. The sheriff loked the girl over before he answered. He was sur- prised at the question. He did not see how she came into this business. “I heard that Jim here lay in walt for Prentiss and attacked him.” Anne Tells Facts. “Well, you'll be glad to know that isn't true,” Anne told him. “I was there from the start. They began shooting at Mr. Silcott while he was crossing the street. He ran into the doorway of an old adobe house to and the man who was killed called to the others that they had got him and ran forward. It was after this man fired again from the mid- dle of the road that he was hit.” “Where were you standing, Miss Eliot?” the sheriff asked. “Beside the stage coach. In front of the office. I could see what happened.” “You'd be surprised, miss how dif- ferently folks see ‘the same thing,” Lawson said smoothly. “Some who saw this difficulty tell me Stlcott started it.” “Would they be Jud Prentiss and the Hat T hands?” Rufe asked. Lawson turned his cold hard eyes on Jelks. “You in on this, Rufe?” Jelks addresser his answer to Anne. “The sheriff is a mite friendly to Russ Mosely, who nominated and elected him. You can't blame a politician for that.” The officer flushed angrily. “That's not true. But I aim to get to the bottom of this thing.” Sheriff Is Irate. Jim put & hand on the arm of his friend. “Il do the talking if you don’t mind, Rufe. The sheriff is quite right. Youre not in on this.” To Lawson he said, “That's all I ask, sir. Dig up the facts. The fuss started at the Trail's End and hour earlier. Preatiss and four of the Hat T riders were running on Jess Lamprey. That was none of my business. But the kid brother of Lamprey came in and tried to get his brother out of the jam. He wouldn't leave without his brother, and Jud started to beat him up. I told Jud to let the boy alone. We had words. Jud 'grabbed Jess and quirted him, then stormed out the place. Probably they started drink- ing again and decided to get me.” !"mnd ¥'s your story,” the sheriff said. “The one Russ tells will be dif- feren,” Jim said evenly. “By the — ONE OF e LARGEST UNDERTAKERS| E wo |in my opinion—and is pushing to| “I reckon you know the story as | fe | “How did you hear it, Mr Lawson?” | escape.

Music Ability Grows With Shirley Levin Only three years ago, Shirley Levin, & successful piano contestant in this city, made her bow at Con- stitution Hall, playing a Mozart Toncerto with the National Sym- phony Orchestra. However, it was not the self-conscious little girl of that day who gave a recital last night but a pianist of artistic calibre who was presented at the Washington Club by Lucia Mc- Kenzie Hendley. To those who have not heard Shirley since her first appearance here, her playing came as a surprise, It was her ability to project ideas of a more mature mind and to make music that thrilled her audience. The climax of her performance was undoubtedly the “Allegro Affectu- 080" of the Schumann “A Minor Austin Conradi at the second piano. It was the roundness of her singing touch, its depth, her finished phras- ing and concentration upon the interpretative side of the work that made her reading a most enjoyable musical experience. Lovely was also the hackeyed exaggerations and unnecessary em- phasis, so often other pianists. The “Scherzo in B Flat Minor,” the “Impromptu A Flat Major” and the “Etude G Flat “Sonata, Op. 31, No. 2, in D Minor” | helped give a complete survey of her | careful training. Needless to say | such & recital was bound to bring more people together than = the capacity of the hall allowed. There | was much enthusiasm and applause | not to mention flowers.
