HOLLYWOOD, June 4 U.N.SO.
Mary Pickford was in legal po-
sition today to press her suit
for divorce from Douglas Fair
banks by September /.
This was made possible through
the signing by Superior Judge
Frank Collier Of an order Tor
publication of a summons in the
case. The publication requires
80 days.
In her application for service
by publication Miss Pickford said
that Fairbanks was out Of the
State and that London was his
last known address.
Friends expressed belief that
her action does not necessarily
mean the suit would be prose
cuted, and some saw hope for a
reconciliation when Fairbanks
makes an expected visit to his
ranch this summer.
Others believe that the notice
indicated Miss Pickford intended
to go through with plans for a
divorce.
Publication of the notice was
in a small legal paper.
Miss Pickford spent yesterday
at the beach going over a bundle
of notes she said would be in
corporated in a book that will
tell her viewpoint of Hollywood
through the years.

NEW HOPE SEEN
FOR PEACE IN
D.C.STR|KES
Principals in Carpenters
WaIkout Meet; Wagner
Enters Stone Row

Silver Innings appeared on the
local-strike horizon today as ne
gotiations for peaceful settlements
got under way between contrac-
tors and two separate unions.
Today's developments were:
1-Carpenters and representa-
tives of employers met with Com
missioner George E. Allen.
2-Officials Of the Department
Of Labor stepped into the strikes
here in two ice cream companies.
3-Senator Wagner is attempting
to end the jurisdictional dispute
which threw 400 men out Of work.
Carpenters In Farley
Out on strike since May l, the
carpenters, headed by William l..
Hutchinson, were in conference at
noon today with officials OF con-
tracing companies employing
carpenters. Observers pointed out
that many of the carpenters OF the
local union have become diSSat-
isfied with the protracted strike
and desire to return to work i'm
mediately.
In view of this it was thought
that both sides of the dispute
would come to an amicable ter.
mination in their conferences to-
day before Commissioner Allen.
The carpenters have been offered
$1.25 an hour and an eight-hour
day by their employers but this
proposal was voted down by the
carpenters when they met in
general assembly last week.
Howard T. Colvin, og the De-
partment of Labor. was in session
at noon with officials Of the
local teamSters union employed
by ice cream companies here.
While these men are not out
on strike, the possibility OF an
agreement on their contracts for
the coming year was not promiS'
ing.
Ask 81 Day Increase
Discussion thus far between
representatives have been fruit
less. The teamsters are asking
a 81 a day increase in wages
and an eight-hour day instead
of their 1O-hour schedule. It is
believed that unless these de-
mands are met they will call a
strike.
Senator wagner will call con-
ference between representatives
of two local unions now at log
gerheads regarding the setting
of a new type of stone on the
II. C. C. and Labor Department
buildings. This dispute resulted
in an almost general strike Of
all trades on the job. Attempts
to bring the disputing parties
together, and thus bring 400
men back to work who are not
involved in the dispute but who
walked out in sympathy, have
not proved successful.
Senator Wagner stepped into
the picture at the request Of
officials of the James Stewart
Company, contractors on the
building where work is now tied
up.

Easier Debt Payment
Plans Are Studied
By International News Service
President Roosevelt's debt mes
sage to Congress was intended to
leave the door open for European
debtor nations to seek new debt
agreements in line with what is
known to be their capacity to
pay, Administration officials said
today.
However, this does not mean
any slashing in the total amount
of money which Europe owes
American taxpayers, now around
10 billion dollars.
It means President Roosevelt is
willing to consider an easier
method of payment pending world
economic recovery, providing the
debtor nations offer to make such
payments in line with what is
known to be their capacity rather
than their desire to pay.
Attention was called to the
Presidents statement in his debt
message that "the American
people would not be disposed to
place an impossible burden upon
their debtors"

BRAIN TRUST s.
STAND CALLED
ILLOGICAL
Committee to Present Case to
President; Opposition to
Plan in Code Feared

Aroused by the opposition OF
"Brain Trusters" to the develop
tnent of a newsprint industry in
the South, members Of the
Georgia congressional delegation
today decided to carry the fight
to the President.
Indignant members Of the dele
CATION criticized the Brain Trust
ers'" attitude that encourage
ment of slash pine growing in
Georgia and other Southern
States would interfere with i'm
ports.
Special Committee Named
A special committee composed
Of Representatives Parker, Deem
and Castellow was named to draft
q letter to President Roosevelt
setting forth the advantages Of
the plan. They also decided to
protest against any provision in
the NRA newsprint code which
would prevent development Of the
industry.
The committee planned to lay
before the President the remark
able experiment showing the
feasibility of development Of a
newsprint industry and the aid
proffered by the Chemical
Foundation.
said Representative Robert
RamSpeck Cd of Georgia:
"The delegation was unani-
nous. Its members cannot
understand the logic Of OppO-
SitiOn to this industry because
It would interfere with imports.
"The cotton crop has been
cut down AMI the South must
have new industries. Growing
of slash pine and construction
Of paper mills would give the
South another big cash crop.
10 PER CENT IMPORTED
Seventy per cent of the
newSprint Of the nation is i'm
ported. I understand the ar
gumentS is that to develop the
industry would interfere with
our exports to countries from
which we buy newsprint. A
large part Of our market is
gone and In any event it seems
to members of the delegation
to be illogical reasoning to say
that we cannot develop an in
dustry when we import 10 per
cent of the product.
"The entire nation would be
benefited if The newsprint in
dustry in the South lowered
the cost Of newSprint."
The delegation expects to con
fer with Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace and Gen. Hugh S. John
son to protest against any order
or provision being written into a
