CHARGE FORD EAGLE BOATS WERE FAULTY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-Harug E. Leroy, of Saginaw, Mich, formerly em- ployed as a constructor at the Ford Detroit boat plant, testified before the senate naval committee today that the Eagle boats built for the navy at the plant were seriously faulty in design and construction. He said the walls of the craft were weak, particularly about the engine and fire room. When he reported his observations to his employer, he said, they promised to re- port the criticism to the navy depart ment.
 Rear Admiral Taylor, chief con- structor, recently testified the Eagles had conformed to designed character istics and were useful both for war and peace purposes.
 Leroy also criticized the character of workmen employed at the Ford shipyards, declaring most were for eigners, including many Germans and Austrians, unable to speak to under stand their superintendents, who had to give orders by manual signs.
 Senator Pittman of Nevada, demo- crat, asked MT. Leroy if there was any connection between the witness criticism of the Eagle" boats and the political controversy between Henry Ford and Truman H. Newberry Le- roy said he went to the office of Paul King of Detroit, campaign manager for Newberry, and there wrote a letter in criticism of the Eagle" boats to Senator Lodge. the republican leader. who proposed the committees investi- gation
 Democratic senators also closely questioned Leroy as to his experience as a shipbuilder The, witness said he had built few boats, none over 25 feet in length. but had built pianos and other mechanical devices. While at the Eagle" shipyards, he was in charge of riveting gangs, Leroy said

SOVIET CHIEFS ARE BARRED
 FROM CONFERENCE CALLED ID CONSIDER RUSSIAN PROBLEM

PARIS, Jan, 2l,-CBy the AsSociat- ed PresS.)-The supreme council of the great powers hopes to formulate 8 concrete proposal on Russia at to- morrow's meeting.
 This was the definite official an nouncement of the communiuue issued tonight after the council had been considering the Russian situation continuously for the last two days.
 No Certain Cure for Situation
 It can be added that while this con. crete proposal was not finally decided and reduced to writing, its main fea, lures were agreed on in principle. The members came from the session, however, feeling that there was no sovereign remedy insuring certain cure for. the difficult and dangerous situation, and that it would be desiT> able to embody several lines of action in the proposal.
 No Soviet Agents to Be Allowed.
 The first effect of this proposal will be that neither Sergius Sazonoff. the Russian minister of foreign affairs be- fore the revolution, nor any soviet agent will come to Paris as expon- ents Of Russian affairs, but that some form of inquiry of investigation of political conditions in Russia will be made without considering the pres ence in Paris of the adherents of either side of the question at issue. This determination is largely the re- suit of strong sentiment in some

'kAYS WAGE
 BILL STARTS LIVELY FIGHT IN THE HOUSE
cRx Review Leased wlren

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 21-The first rift in the legislature occurred today, the first division in the house along the lines of the past, between the so- called radical and conservative ele- ments. It occurred in the committee of the whole house in the considera- tion of the Mckay minimum wage bill for women This bill was intro duced by Mrs. Mckay Of Gila county. the author of the present minimum wage law fixing the lowest wage to be paid women and girls at $1O a week. The new bin raises the wage to S20 a week.
 Committee Report Favorable.
 The committee on labor, to which the bill had been reIerre:s, reported it favorably. When it was reached on the calendar of the committee of the whole, MT. Howard. also of Gila, moved its postpOnement for a week, on the ground that the members had not heard it read before and had had TO opportunity to communicate with their constituents regarding it. Half the membership of the house took part in the following discussion, the opponents of the bill claiming only that they wanted time for its consid- eration. The friend of the bill car riei the discussion to the merits of the measure. Finally motion to let it lie over for a week and give it a place at the head of the calendar pre- vailed by a vote of IS to 13. The friends of the bill have accepted that vote as sign that the bill will have to be materially amended if it is to pass.
 In the senate a bill was introduced by Mir. Claypool of Gila to repeal the law creating the state. council of de- Fense. Another bill further revamp- ing the educational system of the state was introduced in the house. It pro- vfdes for the county unit system, put ting the public schools under the con- trol of a county board of education which shall also appoint county school superintendent. There is left in each school district a trustee whose duties will be confined to the care of school property.
 Another house bill creates a state highway board which shall appoint a highway commission with power to appoint a state highway engineer and direct the construction of roads.
