Strikes in industrial centers
throughout the country are
spreading as the workers see
in actual practice that the re-
covery Slavery code means
no real increase in wages or
betterment of working condi-
tions, but is on the contrary
being used by the bosses in
their campaign to deprive the
workers of the right to orga-
nize and struggle for better
conditions.
The latest reports of the strikes
include the following:

POLITICAL LIBEL
ON RADIO TESTED
Nebraska Case Opens Way
for Ruling by United States
Supreme Court.

~ RoADCASTERS are looking
with high hope toward the
United States Supreme Court
II to learn Just how far they can
60 in allowing politicians to use
their facilities for campaigns without
teopardizing their own licenses.
The way for a Federal Supreme
Court review of the only test case on
libel uttered over the radio was opened
a few days ago by the Nebraska Su-
preme Court. 1t recalled previous
mandate denying an appeal and then
granted the petition.
In the particular case Sorensen ver-
sus Wood, Station KFAB at Lincoln,
Nebr, was held equally liable with the
political speaker for the alleged libeling
of a former States attorney general, c.
A. Sorensen. The speaker was Richard
F.. Wood, who in 1880 delivered pri-
mary campaign address attacking the
former attorney general.
Solutions Devised.
As result of this decision, many
radio stations do not accept political
speeches at ALL Others demand the
right to censor all speeches in advance
and will not allow a speaker to devlate
from a prepared script. under threat
of summarily cutting him off the ir.
A more generally adopted practice has
been that of requiring political speakei 5
to sign an agreement promising not to
libel or malign any individual.
Through a Supreme Court review.
the broadcasting industry hopes to pro-
cure ruling that stations are not
liable for libel uttered in their micro
phones. They point out that the radio
act requires all stations to allow oppos-
ing political speakers to use their facll-
tiles, If, in the first instance, one party
is granted that privilege.
Stations Sponsor Test.
In other words, a politician of one
party may use the station for a perfect
ly proper speech in which he does not
involve the station in libel. His op-
ponent, however, has the right to de-
mand equal time on the air, and may
refuse to submit his address for censor
ing The station is bound by law to
allow him the time, and yet has no
protection whatever against libel suit.
The appeal to the Supreme Court is
being foStered by the National Associ-
alton of Broadcasters in behalf OF all
stations.

NAZI LABOR OFFICIAL
ATTACKS BOYCOTT
Secretary of 'Workers-Front" De-
nies Difficulty in Unionizing
Employees in Reich.
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, october 16.-Wilhelm
Reichardt, secretary Of the Nazi Work
ers-Front," said yesterday Of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor boycott:
ut is untrue that it has been made
impossible for workers in Germany to
organize themselves-thati is only a lie
of these emigrants who by their be-
trayal of the workers have plunged
German working classes into the deep
est misery"
Reichardt said no other country gives
more attention to the unioniZing OF
labor than Germany, and added:
"All the unions have been incorpo-
rated since May into the Nazi Or
ganization and that this is done by
their consent IS proved by the fact
that many hundreds Of thousands
joined, although no compulsion existed. y
The Workers-Front secretary said that
continual wage-cutting in the past two
years under the old German regime
was halted Immediately by the Nazi
government.

DOCTORS FIGURES
ON DISEASE DENIED
Diphtheria and Smallpox in U. S
Far Overestimated, Says New
York Authority.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 16.-Fgures
presented before the American College
of Surgeons in Chicago last week con-
cerning the prevalence and mortality
rate of diphtheria and smallpox were
questioned today by H. B. Anderson
secretary of the Citizens Medical Ref
erence Bureau, Inc, of New York.
DR.. C. jeff Miller of New Orleans
was quoted as saying that $4,000 per-
sons die of diphtheria in the United
States annually; that each year there
are 100000 cases of smallpox.
Anderson said these figures are not
borne out by official statistics. Regard
ing smallpox, he said the number OF
cases reported in 43 States and the
District of Columbia for which statistics
were available declined fr61n 38,048 In
1929 to 12,784 in 1882.
Official figures showed only 5.971
deaths from diphtheria in Al States
during 1880, Anderson said, adding:
There is no reason to believe that
this figure will be increased. as the
number of deaths from this disease has
declined from one decade to the next
until it is rapidly reaching the van
ishing point"

REPUBLICAN ON ONE ROOSEVELT
 COMMISSION
Donald Hubbard Sawyer Is an Expert Civil Engineer In Charge of Public Works Program
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Stan Correspondent.

BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN United Press Stan Correspondent. Washington, June 26.-(UP)- Donald Hubbard Sawyer Is a re- publican and he doesn't care who knows it. He also is such an ex- pert civil engineer that he holds the job as administrator for the Roosevelt public works program.
 Sawyer's appointment is tempor- ary, contingent upon the adminis- tration being able to find a demo- crat who can do the job as well. Indications are, however, that he will go down as the only republic can official in the democratic re- gime.
 most eminently we'll fitted men in the nation for the spending of $s.' 800. 100000 on public building pro- jects.
 He has built traction systems. skyscrapers and army camps. He has laid out cities and mapped roads. He is as much at home be- hind a surveyors tripod as he is behind mahogany desk.
 In his new office at the interior department he has no vast ex- panse of mahogany before him. He uses a second hand desk retrieved from a clerk who moved out when he moved in. He has two small rooms. He works in one of them. A pair of stenographers in the other try vainly to steer a horde of job and loan seekers away, the stenographers answer the one tele- phone, which rings constantly.
 Sawyer is tall, lean and tanned. He looks like the handsome en. gineer in the movies. except that he has a curl of whitening hair which dangles over his left eye.
 He speaks slowly, deliberately and politely. That takes time be. cause there are scores of daily visi- tors whom the twin stenographers can't head off. Sawyer thus works usually from S:30 a. m., to 10:SO p. m.
 Recently he issued an appeal for delegations of state and municipal dignataries to stay at home instead of coming to see him for loans he can't grant. He explained that under the law such loans must first be approved by two engineers and one administrator to be ap- pointed in each state.
 Sawyer Is considerate and af- fable man. If he were a bit less kindly to callers he might have more time to spend at home with his wife in the evenings.

LINDBERCHS TO FLY TOGETHER
 OVER THE SEAS
Husband and Wife May Cross Atlantic in the Proposed Flight to Icy North

New York, June 2e-(UP)-Col and Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh may extend their projected flight to, Greenland across the Atlantic to Iceland and perhaps to Denmark, the United Press learned today.
 The famous flying couple plan to leave within two weeks on path-finding night for a new air- way to Europe which Colonel Lind bergh's employer. the Pan.Amer- ican Airways, hopes to use for q regular America. Europe air serv- ice. Pan-American officials believe passenger and mail planes Will be flying the Atlantic within two years. Two planes. the largest flying boats'' ever planned. are now being constructed with such service in mind.
 The Iindberghs will fly the same Lockheed equipped with pontocns which they used on their flight to China. Friends of the Lindbersns said Mrs Lindbergh was accom- panying him because they liked to work together and not because her presence would attract attention. Mrs Lindbergh is pilot, a navis- ator, a radio operator. and a photographer. Colonel Lindbergh could find a man who could do any one of these better, but could not find a man who could do all as well. 1t was said.
 Their plane is now being pre- pared. Radio and instruments must be tested. While the itiner- ary has not been announced, 1t was believed they would fly as directly as possible to Greenland. They will explore the shore-1ine and fjords of Greenland for regular and emergency landing places for the air route, and then proceed on to Iceland. There they will decide whether to continue to Denmark. an-American has chartered a ship to act as a base for the ex- ploratory work and it will leave Philadelphia Tuesday for Green land.
 Copenhagen, June 26-(UP)- Preparations for an air survey of Greenland, Iceland, and the Farce Islands to determine the feasibility of an airplane route across the sorth Atlantic were under way to- day with the chartered steamer Jellinge en route to Greenland to act as mother ship for three sea- plans of the Pan American Air ways. The seaplanes are sched- uled to leave Philadelphia for Greenland tomorrow.
