Husband said Hsuan by his own teS-

follower Of the Third 1nternationale. +"
He said 1t had become a common prac-
tice for aliens of extreme radical types.

they be sent to Russia.
Hsuan contended he would be In

Russia is willing to accept aliens Of
this type" Husband said, but will not
accept their own nationals who might
be ordered deported by the United
States authorities.
The department Is not unmindful Of
the traditional policy of the United
States Government in according refuge
to political offenders Of other nationah-
ties, but in cases such as that of Hsuan,
where aliens actively engage in efforts
to overthrow the United States Gov
ernment by force or violence, it is not
felt that the plain terms of the law re-
lating to deportation should be set aside
In order that the aliens concerned may
accept the Invitation of any govern
ment which condoneS the activities of

Hsuan Is one Of number Of students
who have attended American educa-

FARRELL ATTACKS
STEEL HEADS FOR
REDUCING WAGES

has its way eventually. The security
prices today are based in part on de-
pleted dividends and earnings, but are
further over-liquidated by an unreason-
ing fear Of the future"
Wage Cuts Factor.
Fear of wage cuts is one of the cur
rent dificulties, and instability of prices
is another. in Mr.. Schwab's opinion.
Labor costs in the steel industry, he
asserted, had been liquidated without
taking 1t out of the wage rate OF the
mill employe."
Preservation Of this wage rate, the
protection of the workers pay roll, Is
a primary obligation of our business.
All policies, Of course, depend ultimately
on the balance sheet. No man can
guarantee the future Of markets, wages
earnings or other factors affecting In
come. But do say that We have every
intention of maintaining this stable
wage rate which has been so great an
asset in our business"
The steel industry has given the
worker "full-time income when doing
full-time work, but with curtailed
markets and lower production it has
been necessary to distribute the avail
able work" There has been a gross
average decline of close to IS per cent
in the earnings of steel employees this
Spring as compared with year ago
when operations we're high but losses
through psrt-time employment. Mr..
Schwsb said, have been Offset at least
partially by lower cost Of living.
Economic Law Cited.
Prices. Mr.. Schwab said, cannot be
lowered to the point where they do not
cover a fair return to capital and labor
above the cost Of plant and materials.
"A great excess over that amount Is
destructive to trade and a decline under
that amount Is even more harmful. In
December we were playing the role Of
Santa Claus, but now We are getting
back on a business basis. Current earn
ings statements have been disappointing,
but there has been no note OF concern
with respect to the cash position or
other factors affecting the stability of
the leading companies in our industry. -
The producers. he said, have been
rationing out steel this year ION q star
vation dict" but before many months
that situation will be remedied.
Trade Closer Studied.
I'VE shall feel our way carefully
tIHOugn tne Slack summer season ana
II necessary we can face much longer
siege without alarm
One Of the constructive results of the
present period, Mr.. Schwab asserted,
has been sharper scrutiny of uneco-
nomic barriers and a better under
standing Of the essentials Of trade re-
lationships"
I'VE are trying to learn common
sense at home, and we have got to ap-
ply 1t in trading with our neighbors,

Are Told.

Edmund d. Rheem, vice president

fcient funds to meet the payments on

such transactions through his personal

he testified, the only one of these
properties he still Owns is that at 1859
Mintwood place. Others, he said,
were lost through foreclosure pro-
ceedings.
Attempt Salary Recovery.
Attorney George Z. Sullivan, argu-
ing that Rheem, by doing certain acts
while serving as executive head OF the
concern, had forfeited his right to
salary, attempted to learn IN which
banks his pay checks were deposited.

tanned Rheem in his refusal to answer
this question.

the trust notes on SwartzeH, Rheem
g. Hensey Co. property in Rosslyn, va.

Rheem g. Hensey Co. approximately
$64,0 He said that this money Is
still owing. but that he intends to re-
pay it if possible.
It was brought out that Rheem from
time to time was credited with 5000
items from an account known as the
Petworth Trust. He refused to answer
a question as to why the 5000 items
were credited to his account with
Swartzell, Rheem 3E HenSey Co.. con-
tending that an answer might have o
tendency to incriminate him.

trict Supreme Court Of Eden's ruling
