HEAR
BONU USPLEAS

Members of the Veterans Ma
tional Rank and File Convention
today continued their activities
on Capitol Hill, seeking to force
early action on the bonus bill.
About so of the veterans went
to the Capitol today from Fort
Hunt, Va, where they are en-
camped, to call upon various
members of the Senate to urge
favorable action on their pro-
gram. This calls for reporting
out of committee of the bonus
bill and an early vote by the
Senate.
The veterans went to the Sen
ate Office Building in small
groups and were admitted to the
building in the company of Capt.
tol police, who led them to the
offices of those legislators whom
they desired to see.
1t was announced that the
marchers will be given until Sun
day to evacuate Fort Hunt. Their
time officially expires today.
The marchers have turned
thumbs down on an offer to en-
list in the CCC, declaring their
intention to remain until some &C.
ton on the bonus is obtained.

TOLEDO
1000 Attack so Soldiers on
Patrol Duty; 1900 Trapped
in Plant Rescued

TOLEDO, Ohio, May "a G.N.
S. .-Rioting broke out again to-
day at the strike.torn plant of the
Electric Auto-Lite Company here
as 1000 strikers and their SYM
pathizers fought a hand-to-hand
battle with detachment Of so OF
the National Guardsmen who had
been mustered out overnight to
guard the property.
Encountering the strikers
marching in Michigan Avenue a
block from the scene of last
nights rioting, the soldiers
ordered the mob to disperse. In
stead, the mob rushed the
soldiers.
A desperate hand.to.hand strug.
gle ensued for a few minutes
until the soldiers retired in good
order for a short distance and
unloosened a barrage of tear gas.
Many of the rioters were clllbbed
with rifles in the hands OF the
steel-helmeted troops but they
were not believed seriously in
jured. None of the soldiers were
hurt.
Charging up Champlain Avenue
with fixed bayonetS, Ohio Ma
tional Guardsmen earlier today
had raised the 24-hour siege of the
Toledo Electric Auto-Lite Plant,
driving before their cleaning
blades a remnant of the strike
crowd of 1000 which had tried all
night with bullets and bricks to
storm the plant and reach $500
trapped employees.
Meantime word was received
here that Charles P. Taft, of
Cincinnati, son of the former
President, is rushing to the city
to act as a federal mediator.
He was scheduled to arrive late
this afternoon. Peace negotia-
tions at present are hopelesSly

Every Type Of Weapon
Every conceivable type Of
weapon-rifles, revolvers, stones,
clubs, iron pipes, fire hoses and
torcheS-Were used by the Strlk-
ers and their sympathizers. The
appearance of the National
Guardsmen manning machine
guns, however, quickly brought
an end to the reign of terror.
The soldiers arrived shortly
after 6 a. M, Sloshing deter.
minedly through the cold rain.
They met with no resistance. A
rain-tamed crowd of several hum

the threatening bayonetS.

NEW CHARGES
HURLED At
DARRON
Two Associates Say Chairman
Signed Specialization Report
Without Reading It
BY EDWARD o. MAYL
International News Service

Clarence DarroW, chairman Of
the 1.ational Recovery Review
Board, signed the supplementary
report, advocating socialization of
industry, without reading it, at the
request of his old law partner, w.
o. Thompson, it was charged to-
day by w. w. Neal, a member, and
Lowell Mason, legal counsel for
the board.
The charges were made while
congressional leaders led by Sena-
tor Nye (R) of North Dakota,
were rallying to the defense of the
77-year-old criminal attorney, and
attacking the tactics of Recovery
Administrator Hugh S. johnson.
Mr.. Mason said:
"The supplementary report
which advocates q 'SOcialiZed
ownership Of industry was writ
ten by Mr. Thompson without
the knowledge of any member
Of the board"
PERSONAL MATTER"
Mr.. Mason said he asked Mr..
Thompson concerning the "spe.
ciaf report" and that Mr.. Thomp.
son replied:
"ThiS iS personal correspond.
ence between myself and the
president"
Mr.. Mason denied that Charles
Edward Russell, renowned social
iSt writer and orator had written
any part of the boards report or
the one signed by Darrow and
Thompson. He said Russell had
edited parts of the report for
literary purposes, but for nothing
else.
At the same time Mr.. Neal,
a hosiery manufacturer of Mar
ion, N. c., declared:
"NOne of us was allowed to
see the special report written
by Thompson; not even the
legal department. Have we
known that Thompson intend
ed anything that was presented
to the President over the
names of DarrOw and ThOmp-
son, we most certainly would
have demonstrated and submit
ted a brief giving our reac.
tiOnS to the report"
DARROW is SILENT
While these revelations were be-
ing made, Mr.. Darrow refused
to comment, and kept his coun-
sci, even after Mr.. Mason had
charged:

2 FORD SUITS
DISMISSED
IN COURT
Justice Flags Motor Magnate
In Denying Injunctions
Against U. S.

Playing the policies of the Ford
Motor Company in it's controversy
with the NRA, Justice Daniel W.
O'Donoghue, in District Supreme
Court today, dismissed two suits
for injunction instituted by the
Northwest Motor Company against
Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes and Secretary of Agri-
culture Henry A. Wallace.
The jurist held that Federal
agencies may not be compelled to
buy Ford products in competitive
bidding under Government con-
tracts.
Emergency Act
Justice O'Donoghue said:
"The National Recovery Act
Is an emergency act which
grants sweeping powers to the
Executive. 1t would seem un-
reasonable that the President be
compelled to contract with any
company, no matter how
wealthy or powerful, if that
company is thwarting the re-
cOyery act and defying the
Government to enforce it," =
The motor company asked for
the injunction on the ground that
it had submitted low bids to ftif.
nish the two Federal departments
with motor trucks.
Failed to Sign
The Government defended on
the ground that Henry Ford has
failed to sign the code of fair
competition for the automobile
industry and consequently un-
der an executive order, upheld
by Comptroller General McCarl,
the contracts could not be
awarded to a Ford motor con-
Germ.
The Governments case was
argued by Hammond Chaffetz, a
Department of Justice attorney,
who was assisted by Assistant
United States Attorney Harry
L. Underwood.

JOBS,
PAY ROLLS Up
BY International News Service


Continued increase in employ.
ment and pay rolls and in the
volume of manufacturing pro-
duction during April and the
first three weeks of May was re-
ported today by the Federal Re-
serve Board.
The general level of commodity
prices remained substantially un-
changed but there was consider
able shift in the level of indi-
vidual commodity prices.
The advance in manufacturing
reflected increases in iron and
steel, automobiles and meat pack
ing. Lumber production declined
in April. Activity at wool snd
silk mills was considerably re-
duced, while cotton consumption
by mills showed little change.
Production of crude petroleum
continued to increase but there
was more than a seasonal decline
at the beginning of April in the
mining of coal.
During the first two weeks of
May, steel operations increased
substantially, but there was de-
cline in the third week. The
output of automobiles decreased.
