STEEL PLANT TO TEST RECOVERY
 ACT. VALIDITY
Department of Justice Has Sent Agents to Several
 of the Plants

Washington, Dec 15-(U.P.) - Department of Justice agents were sent to-day to plants Of the Weir 2 ton Steel Company to observe an employees election of representa- lives for collective bargaining. The company and the MIRA apparently moved closer to a showdown in court. involving the validity of the National Industrial Recovery Act.
 Attorney General Homer s. Cummings dispatched the agents from Pittsburg to Weirton plants in Steubenville, Ohio, Clarksburg, w. Va, and Weirton, ". Va, as the upshot of a heated dispute be- tween Ernest II. Weir, chairman of the steel company board, and Re- covery Administrator Hugh s. Johnson.
 The dispute centered on the company's refusal to permit re- presentatives of the National La bor Board to supervise the elec- ton. Chairman Wagner said the company had agreed to this super vision when the board ended Q strike at the company's plants, and that since then the company had interferred with the employees choice of their representatives in violation of the law.
 Johnson wired Weir that he was informed that you are about to commit a deliberate violation of federal laws'' by holding a "com- pany-dominated" election. Before Weir received the telegram, John- son talked to him by telephone, after which Weir issued state ment saying, i've both agreed that 1t was Q matter for the courts to decide" Cumming refused to spec ulate on legal proceedings. Wagner intimated they would take the form of an injunction suit against the election and indicated that if the board wins it would seek to punish the company under crim- inal provisions of the law provid- ing for fines up to $500 a day for violators.
 Johnson. planned to call an open hearing, he warned Weir, ''to de- termine whether your Blue Eagle should be withdrawn and whether you should henceforth be denied the privileges of the steel code"
 Tho Weirton firm is the largest subsidiary of the National Steel Company.and it's labor troubles have dragged for months. It em- ploys 17,0O0 men. On october 16, :, three-way agreement between the company, its strikers. and the National Labor Board was con- cluded.

VIENNA, Aug. 28.-The declar-

that the Nazi party in Austria
has lost most of its former
strength and that it consised OF
a group of disorC -.nized NAL
contents in whom even Adolf
Hitler has lost confidence, ap-
pears to have been borne out
with events of the last few days.
Following the EXPULSION OF
Theodore Habicht from Austria
there was a scramble for the
post he left-leadership of the
Austrian NaziS.
RiehI Expelled
DR.. Walter Riehl, first Nazi
deputy on the Viennh Munipical
Council, claimed the leadership,
but Saturday, following his at
tempt to see Vice Chancellor
Winkler with conciliatory plan,
Riehl was expelled from his party
on orders from Berlin.
At the some time it became
known in Vienna, though Berlin
papers did not publish it, that
Emil Schneider, German foreign
office expert on Austria, whose
letters seized a week ago in
Vienna showed him to be the
brains of the Nazi activities in
Austria, haI. been sent to a
German concentration camp. He
is in disgrace for mishandling
the VIII lie affair.
LeaderleSS
Today the Austrian Nazis are
without a real head, and they
seem to be fading and losing
ground. Concurrently, the favor
Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss has
found abroad has resulted in q
wave Of popular feeling for him.

This was the declaration made
by a high official of the French
government today on receipt OF
news that Germany had cut loose
from Geneva in protest against
the worlds refusal to grant her
immediate equality or arms.
The French government firmly
believes that Germany has been

and deliberately withdrew from
the disarmament conference to
avoid the embarrassment of super
vision, inspection and control.
The first step by France as
a result of the Reich's decision
will be to determine Germany's
attitude toward the Locarno pact,
France will not allow Germany'S S

UP To WOMEN
FIRST LADY'S
BOOK, OUT
Author Regrets Writing 1t,
But Demand Is Expected
To Be Widespread
BY RILLA SCHROEDER

In speaking of her book, "It's
Up to the Women" advance
copies of which have just arrived
in Washington, Mrs. Roosevelt
laments that she has been seized
with feeling that it had been
a futile gesture.
After all, she said, what did
her opinions matter? And who
would be interested in reading
what she, Eleanor Roosevelt,
thought about this or that?
Widespread Interest
Despite the First Lady's fears,
however, it is a safe bet that her
views of various subjects will be
of interest to many thousands
of persons.
First. naturally, because she is
the wife of the President Of the
United States, and secondly, be-
cause she is Eleanor Roosevelt.
The second fact may even
superSede the first. Eleanor Roose-
velt has become more than Just
the First Lady chow she dislikes
that expression) to the country.
Her book is very much like her.
She discusses naturally, just as
though she were sitting by your
fireSide, almost every phase of
the present day. She may have
overlooked a few of them, but
not many.
Questions Answered
In one little volume Of 263
pages she answers questions Of
millions Of women. What does
Mrs. Roosevelt think about the
income problem? Children? Jobs?
Recreation? Marriage? Divorce?
Eevery word was written by
Mrs. Roosevelt herself. She had
no collaboration. It is all new
material, written, for the most
part, between Inauguration Day
and the date it went to her pub
fishers.
An inkling as to Mrs. Roose-
velt'S character is given in the
last chapter. Her grandmother,
she writes, once said to her when
she was a little girl:
"YOu are a girl and expect
you to be more sensible and
thoughtful than your brothers."
Mrs. Roosevelt HAS been senSi-
BILE, and has thought much. Her
book tells you the conclusion of
4o years (she had a birthday
just this week) of intelligent
thought.
