w. C. Brown was elected temporary
president Of the new association of
employees of the Potomac Electric

the company auditorium, Tenth and

Ofhcials of the company denied
charges that the association is In any
way company union," and insisted
the corporation has had nothing to do
with its organization.
Another group of the company's
employees, however, which is organiz-
ing into . proposed local union of the
International Brotherhood Of Elec-
trical Workers, has charged that the
Association" in reality is backed by
the company. 1t has filed charges to
this effect with members Of Congress.
Spokesmen for the local union"
charged that the naming last night
Of Brown as head Of the association"
was another indication that the "as-
sociation" is backed and controlled
by the company. H. A. Lee, the tenn
pOrary chairman, had been put up
as q blind" they said, to get en-
ployes to attend the meeting.
All persons attending the meeting
last night were required to sign their
names in a book, according to charges
by union leaders, and for that reason
the union group. which did not wish
to af1liate with the association,
stayed away. Any disturbance which
may have been caused at the meeting
last night, was not started by union
men, their leaders claim, because the
union group purposely was absent.
After the meeting last night, there
were charges from some association
leaders that the union group had
tried to break up their meeting.

If tariff bargaining never does any

Our international mindreaders say
that Is the inside story of why Tur-
key was so anxious to be helpful.
The Turks are one of the few people
who buy more here than they sell,
which puts them in . good position
to bargain. They had already let US
know they would like to sell more
raisins. figs, tobacco, olive oil and
hides when insult was nearing their

The Turks did not even sodtt
until they had ratified their eI-
tradition treaty Nth Us before
orasping Slippery Sam. They acted
outside the treaty, under laU OF
their otDn, Which says they can nab

The State Department was still ut
a loss to know how to proceed ON
cially when the Turks suddenly told
them insult was awaiting their dis

peal. but the court held that its de-
cision was not verdict, but q state

be appealed.
Turkey will get prime consideration

OF BROAD INQUIRY
Little Chance Seen to Turn
Writ Quiz Into Study
of New Deal.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Republicans conceded today that
they have little chance of turning the.
DR.. William A. Writ inquiry into an
exhaustive scrutiny on the new deal.
They would like to make it Just
that, but Democrats say no" "'"' ''.
The Gary, Ind, educator will be
asked next Tuesday to name the
brain truster" he accused Of saying
that President Roosevelt is only a
kerensky to be supplanted at the
proper moment by Stain.
AS Republicans see it, if DR.. Writ
gives the name the brain truster'
will be summoned to deny or confirm.
A denial, the G. o. P. men say, would
mean the inquiry was all washed up,
while confirmation would simply
mean one office holder out of a Job.
Democrats Explain Stand.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
are quick to explain why the inquiry
IS being limited to the Writ statement,
which was read to the House Inter-
state Commerce Committee by James
H. Rand, chairman of the Committee
for the Nation. They say there are
many signs of economic recovery and
that lengthy investigation, with its
charges and counter charges, might
lead TO uncertainty. '.'
Three statements made yesterday
indicate the viewpoint held by many
on the new deal side OF the fence.
They are: "-.'~-'
