_Democratic Women Hear Pleas America Stay Out of War . Tydings, Bruce and Sasscer Speak at Rally gnd Luncheon Warnings of the serious after ef- fects of wars in Europe and the Orient were made and the necessity for United States remaining aloof from foreign conflicts were urged upon more than 300 megbers and guests of the Southern Maryland Division of the United Democratic Women's Clubs of Maryland at the group's spring rally and luncheon » yesterday at the Maryland Club ,Gardens. These two points were emphasized by guest speakers at the rally, in- cluding Senator Tydings, Howard Bruce, candidate for the Maryland Democratic senatorial nomination, and Representative Sasscer. Senator Radcliffe, who is seeking re-election and opposing Mr. Bruce in the Maryland primary May 6, was un- able to attend. Mrs. Tydings, Mrs. Bruce and Mrs. Sasscer attended the luncheon with their husbands. - Problems of Future. Predicting that 1940 and perhaps 1941 will be “two of the greatest years in human history,” Senator Tydings declared that problems at present incalculable will produce echoes in our own country regard- less of who the victor may be in the struggle abroad. He declared that after the primary the party must close its ranks and “go forward to victory in November” regardless of the winner in the primary. Mr. Bruce paid tribute to Presi- dent Roosevelt, Secretary of State Hull and Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles as “three great Americans who are going to keep us out of foreign entanglements if it is | humanly possible.” Purdum Also Speaks. Paying tribute to the “civilization” of Southern Maryland, Mr. Sasscer said it should provide an inspiration to keep out of foreign wars. Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Smith W.

Colgan, chair- man of the Senator's Campaign Committee, as accusing Mr. Bruce of killing the legislation in ques- tion, while the Senator himself| sharply criticized Mr. Bruce for not knowing of the existence of such| legislation. “This is not only a contradiction in terms but manifestly an absurd- ity,” he told the veterans. “It leaves me absolved out of their own | mouths of any responsibility in the matter. That is typical of the at- tacks to which I have been sub-| jected. | Defends Labor Record. “None can honestly or success- | fully attack my labor principles,” | continued Mr. Bruce. Emphasizing that for many years he had been a large employer of labor and had intimate personal knowledge of this subject, Mr. Bruce said: “I believe this problem can be solved and I intend to work for the solution. The workers of Mary- land who know me will not be misled by such tactics as are now employed by my opponent. I have paid out | in excess of $100,000,000 in wages | and have announced my labor prin- ciples, which are fundamentally in- dorsed by labor. They meet the wants of the working man.” He summarized his platformy for the working man as follows: “He wants a job as long as he is able to work, and he wants steady employment. He demands & finan- be termed a living wage, but what represents a fair division of the profits of industry. He wants rea- sonable hours in safe and healthful working conditions, compensation for injuries, provision for old age. He wants protection of the principle of collective bargaining so that he is in a position to negotiate with the employer for all of these re- quirements.” Greatest Domestic Problem. Mr. Bruce repeated his statement that “unemployment is our greatest domestic problem. “The first approach must be to restore confidence,” he said. “Gain- ful occupation for our unemployed will come only if we can succeed in re-establishing a feeling of con- fidence and security in those able and willing to invest in American business enterprises. Our banks are loaded with great cash reserves. There are great untouched reser- voirs of credit. Restore confidence to capital and these reserves, these credits will go back to work. With these at work, our unemployed will find work.” Mr. Bruce reminded his listeners that he spoke with au- thority, becatise he is president of a bank. The candidate put 1n a busy day.

NORTH BEACH, Md,, April 27— Howard Bruce, campaigning for the| Democratic senatorial nomination, tonight was described to the voters of Calvert County as “a candidate without an issue.” - | Senator Radcliffe, his primary opponent, and the latter’s colleague, | Senator Tydings, both declared that | the real question involved in the contest is the relaiive experience :campaigners have attempted to fas- | of the two men. “The one issue, the only issue in | this campaign,” they said, “is| whether you want to return to the {lation designed to protect workers|gengte an experienced man who is| able to serve you competently, or| whether you want to send to Wash- ington an inexperienced man who The two Senators spoke first be- | fore an audience of 400 at the!

Earlier in the day Senator Rad- cliffe visited Annaypalis for the dedi- cation of the highway built as a memorial to Gov. Richie, on whose ticket Mr. Radclfle was elected | in 1934, While in the State capital he con- | ferred with scores of campaign lead- | ers from throughout Maryland. Senator Radcliific was to have at- tended the luncheon of the Women's Democratic Clubs of Southern Mary- land in Capitol Heights in Prince | Genrges County, but he said tonight he was prevented from appearing there because of the lengthy program at Annapolis. P During the rally at Prince Fred- erick State Senator J. Wilmer Cro= nin, who presided, commented upon Gov. O’Conor’s support of Mr. Bruce | and said, “Our Governor should take a cue from our President.” “The people of Maryland,” he| said, “rose up two years ago and | voted down the President when he attempted to ‘purge’ the Senate of Mr. Tydings. We don't have to have | Federal or State officials tell us| what we should do.” “Without an Issue.” Senator Radcliffe touched on the same point in his two talks in the county and said the Calverts, for whom the county is named, opposed the spirit of dictatorship and that feeling was so dominant that Gov. Calvert came from England to find a place where the spirit would be different. “The people of Calvert County,” he said, “represent the idea of free- dom and the effort to control your views and throttle your judgment will meet with failure.” He saild that as the campaign nears its end “Mr. Bruce—the chal- lenger—is without an issue on which to attack. “All he can say is that ‘I'd like to do the things you have been do- ing and vote the way you have voted'.” Radio Talk Tomorrow. Senator Tydings, whose grand- parents were born and raised in Calvert County and who in the 1938 “purge” carried Calvert over for- mer Representative David J. Lewis by a vote of 1539 to 353, attacked Mr. Bruce on the same front. Before the rally in Prince Fred- erick, Senator Radcliffe was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. Paige Jett at dinner. Dr. Jett is one of the mem- bers of the cogmittee supporting the senator’s candidacy. It was announced tonight that Senator Tydings will give a radio talk at 8:30 p.m. Monday in support of Senator Radcliffe and will speak from stations WMAL in Washing- ton and WBAL in Baltimore. He will also speak the same eve- ning at a mass meeting in Glen- burnie. On Tuesday night he will speak at the courthouse in Upper Marl- boro and in Bluebird Hall in Mount Rainier at both of which meetings Senator Radcliffe will appear, and on Wednesday he will speak in Denton.

Reorganization Proposal Opposed At Air Conference Southwest Aviation Group Backs McCarran Development Measure By the Associated Press. TULSA, April 27.—Opposition to proposed reorganization of the Civil Aeronautics Authority was sounded again today to wind up the annual Southern Aviation Conference the way it opened. A resolution was adopted saying “any change at this time will dis- rupt the progress being made in civil aviation.” Previously a directors’ committee had expressed opposition to the several C. A. A, reorganization pro- posals made by President Roosevelt. Reorganization plan No. 4, the lnmg, would place the C. A. A, now an independent agency, in the Com- merce Department and abolish the Air Safety Board. W. G.

CHICAGO, April 27—The Nor- wegian Minister to the United States, Wilhelm Munthe de Morgen- stierne, said tonight that the Ger- man “w,\lu book” issued today con- tained “the same alibi which Ger- many used for the invasion of neu- tral Belgium in 1914.” Joachim von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, asserted in Berlin that documents found in Norway proved that Britain had prepared to invade Norway. “By coincidence, ‘secret papers’ were found also by the Germans when they invaded Belgium in | 1914, Morgenstierne told the M-‘ sociated Press. “The German government at that time claimed that Britain was about to invade Belgium, but German troops moved first. | “No such papers could have been |found in Norway because Norway | tried to be strictly neutral. “We protested to both Germany and the allies against violations of our neutrality, as the Altmark and the City of Flint incidents | show. “I have.not been in communica- ‘}tion with my government since the |frqm the outset of the war has| Norway even connived with Britain against Germany.” “The idea that Norway conspired with any warring “nation against another is disproved Wy the course of my government since the day, that war broke out. ’ “The Germans could not have found any documents showing that Norway was preparing to 80 to war. No such action was ever contem- plated. We have wanted to live at peace with all nations.” Morgenstierne said he was in Chicago for a one-day conference with Norwegian consular officials here and planned to return to Washington tomorrow.
