The raids were described as "among the heaviest yet made by the Allies.” Torpedoed Kearny Back in Service The U. S. S.

President Gets Lanham Bill; Randolph Seeks The House today completed legislative action on the Lanham , bill authorizing an appropriation of $50,000,000 for wartime hous- ing and related public works in Metropolitan Washington, and sent it to President Roosevelt for signature. Final action came in the form of approval of the conference report on the long-sought legislation. Chairman Randolph of the Dis- trict Committee introduced a bill de- signed to provide additional hous- Ing facilities here. It would, in ef- fect, circumvent the zoning law by allowing dwellings in certain re- stricted areas to open their doors to roomers and boarders. Hope that the Ranodlph bill would goon be enacted into law was voiced by Representative Corcoran, Demo- crat, of Missouri immediately fol- lowing its introduction. “It seems to me,” he told the Zoning Change House, “this is really an emergency measure and should be acted upon at the earliest possible date. “With thousands of people seek- ing homes in the District and the population continuing to increase it is foolish to deny the use of dwell- ings to house defense workers. “I want to express the hope that the District Committee will hold a hearing on the bill at an early date.” Of the $50.000,000 authorized in the Lanham bill, $30,000,000 is ear- marked for housing facilities for Government_ war workers, and the remaining $20,000,000 for such com- munity facilities as extensions to water and sewer services and addi- tional school and hospital accommo- dations. House approval of the conference report on the legislation came after a 20-minute discussion during which | its sponsor, Chairman Lanham of (See LANHAM, Page 2-X.) i | British gkipper Says Freighter Was Sunk by Italian Sub By the Associated Press MIAMI, Fla., April 6—The cap- tain of a medium-sized British freighter, sunk in West Indian waters March 13, is convinced that an Italian submarine was taking its toll of shipping in the Western Atlantic. One member of the crew who died of a heart attack was the only casualty when the submarine tor- pedoed and shelled his vessel, Capt. J_J. Egerton said. The remaining 57 in the ship’s company were picked up after 42 hours in lifeboats and were taken to Nassau, where the sinking was announced March 17. “I am certain the sub was of the large Italian class” said Capt. Egerton, a graying, 64-year-old vet- eran of more than 40 years at sea after he and the other survivors were brought to Miami. “After we abandoned ship, the sub circled our four lifeboats and |the captain shouted out to ask us whether we were all right and whether we needed anything.

Justice Byrnes asserted that the reinstatement order could not be | applied because the seamen. by en- | gaging in the sitdown strike had violated the mutiny statute. | Board’s Contention Overruled. The majority opinion overruled the Labor Board's contention that | the Wagner Labor Act permitted a | reinstatement order even though the in a sitdown | men had engaged strike. “The board,” Justice Byrnes as- serted. “has not been commissioned to effectuate the policies of the Labor Relations Act so single- mindedly that it may wholly ignore other and equally important con- gressional objectives.” | | Another provision of the board's order, - directing the company to bargain collectively with the C.1.

Left Up to Congress. | Justice Byrnes said that Congress, in the anti-mutiny legislation, had | outlawed such a strike and “if this mandate is to be changed it must be changed by Congress and not by the courts.” “Ever since men have gone to sea,” the majority opinion said, “the relationship of master to seaman has been entirely different from that of employer to employe on land. The lives of passengers and crew, | as well as the safety of ship and cargo, are intrusted to the master's care. Every one and everything depend on him. He must command | and the crew must obey. Authority cannot be divided.” Discussing the sitdown | Justice Byrnes said: “It may hardly be disputed that each of the strikers resisted the | | captain and other officers in thel | free and lawful exercise of their authority and command * * * or | that they combined and conspired | to that end. * * * Defied Direct Commands. | | | | strike, | Senate Judiciary Committee told | MOREHEAD CITY, N.

The Dissenting Opinion. | In the dissenting opinion, Justice | Reed said that the court had held | | previously that employes guilty of | “criminal acts” in connection with a sitdown strike were not eligible for reinstatement under the Wutner‘ Act. “Nothing approaching such dis- order occurred here,” the dissenting opinion added. “The seamen’s con- duct did not affect the safety of the vessel. The only evidence of viola- tion of the statutes is that the or- ders to load were ignored. “We may assume, for this dissent, that this resulted in a violation of the criminal statutes.
