SETS BAN ON
PUBLICATION
DOCUMENTS

WASHINGTON, April 8. W.P) +
Acting swiftly and without warn
ing, the house today passed a bill
providing criminal penalties for
publication of any secret govern
ment documents deemed prejudicial
to the safety or interest of the
United States.
The roll call vote was 299 to 80.
The measure was pressed on the
house suddenly today by Chairman
Summers of the judiciary commit
tee. The committee report declares
that the executive branch of the
government had requested enact
ment at the earliest practicable
date.
Stephen T. Early, White House
secretary, said that he had not
heard of the measure.
Members in the lobbies of the
house discussed the mysterious
measure in whispers. Several said
their lips were sealed.
WASHINGTON, April 3. U.P)-
Chairman Summers of the house ju-
dietary committee late today an
nounced he would seek modifica-
ton of his bill to protect official
secrets passed earlier by the house.
This bill is not intended to in-
terfere with the usual or normal
operations of the press" Summers
said. "It will be reexamined."
The chairman explained he would
endeavor to have the measure mod
flied in the senate and have the
house accept these changes.
"We have got to protect the free
dom of the press" he said.
Immediate opposition to the bill
was started on the floor by many
members including Rep. Kvale,
FL, Mimi, who contended it con-
stituted censorship OF the press"
Members of the judiciary COM
mittee in speeches said sufficient
evidence had been presented to
their committee by administration
officials to convince them that i'm
mediate passage was essential.
Rep. Hooper, Repn., Mich, told
the house "the circumstances un-
der which this bill was drawn up
were so serious that my lips are
sealed"
He was answered by Rep. Black,
Dem, N. Y, who said this is most
dangerous legislation"
Black suggested the possibility
of clearing out the public galleries
of the house, the press gallery, and
all other outside witnesses and find
ing out what was behind it."
II don't think any committee,
he shouted, "has the right to come
in here and infringe on the rights
of the public merely on its own re-
sponsibility. Any editor would be
afraid to take any public record"

ITALIAN PLAN
BY RALPH HEINZEN
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, April s. The French
cabinet today announced its will
ingness to accept Premier Mussoli-
mis- four power peace pact propo-
sails as a basis for further discus
sions of European disarmament.
AT the conclusion of its meet
ing, at lis p. m, the cabinet an
nounced its intention of sending a
memorandum to London, Berlin,
and Rome, agreeing in principle to
the Mussolini suggestions as the
basis for a four power discussion OF
present problems.
The cabinet agreed to make res
ervations protecting the Little En-
tente, whose representatives have
made strenuous representations in
the past few days against any
agreement which did not include
them-largely through fear that re-
vision of the Versailles treaty might
strip them of some of the territory
and power they now enjoy
The cabinets memorandum will
be submitted to the next council OF
ministers, over which President Le-
brun will preside. The council
meeting probably will be held on
Wednesday.

RUSH JObLESS
CAMP PLANS
Government Hopes To Have At
Least Some OF Places Operat-
ing By April Is.

WASHINGTON, April 8. UP)-
The vanguard of the overall army
of 250,000 jobless may be at work
in national forest camps by April
Is under present plans of the adj
ministration, it was learned today.
President Roosevelt has asked
for full speed ahead in the gigan-
tic task of recruiting, outfitting
and housing those unemployed who
want to "join up" for years work
as federal ST. day men.
From administration circles came
word that the labor, war and agri-
culture departments were striving
to put from 1000 to 1000 men in
reforestation camps by April Is,
Camp sites have been selected
already in many national forests,
where the first contingents will go.
The first camp may be ready by
April 10. 1t is likely to be in the
Shenandoah national forest in Vir-
ginia and be a model for later
camps.
Recruits for this camp will be Sc
lected from unemployed OF eastern
cities. The labor department has
this phase in hand. The war de-
partment will see that the recruits
are in physical trim, and turn them
over to the agriculture departments
forest service, which will be in
charge of the work camps them
selves.
A presidential order was expected
to be issued today or tomorrow stip-
ulating regulations for the project.
Indications are that from the
recruits various "keymen" will be
selected to act as "non-commiS-
stoned" officers at the work camps.
This would be in line with the de-
cision to put through the program
as economically as possible. Un-
employed with experience in lum-
ber camps are wanted, and cooks
carpenters and the like.
Present plans indicate that al
but a few of the work camps will
be small in size, probably score Of
tents, and wooden mess hall.
The job-army recruits probably
will be attired in overalls, blue
denim shirts and heavy army shoes
Some of the equipment will come
from the war department reserves.
