Conference on Aluminium Strike Is
Planned.
BY the Associated Press.
The Labor Department today called
Fred Keightly of Philadelphia, vet
eran conciliator, to Washington to
talk over the aluminium strike situa-
ton with interested parties"
Keightly probably will confer with
Boris Shishkin, American Federation
of Labor official working with the
Aluminium Workers Council, members
of that council and representatives Of
the Aluminium Co. of America.
Lloyd Garrison, chairman of the
Labor Relations Board, arranged with
the Labor Department to draft
Keightly for the job.
Previous efforts of the board to stop
the strike were unsuccessful. Frank
Bowen, a board conciliator. was in
Pittsburgh last week before the strike
started, seeking an agreement.
Bowen was unable to arrange terms
satisfactory to both sides, however,
and left for New York, where he
now is in hospital.
The Republic Steel Co. meanwhile
has advised the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
it will comply with the wages, hours
and working conditions set forth in
the unions scale for Warren, Ohio.
The American Federation of Labor
said today it had received a copy of
letter to that effect, sent by Re-
public's district manager at Warren
to the unions Trumbull lodge at
Warren.

A week ago Teester barred his arm

so thick he could not talk, he had
virtually recovered today, so much

to his followers.
He credited his recovery. without

The tractor party, composed OF DR..
Polllter, Amory H. Waite. jr., radio
operator, and E. j. 0(Pete) Demas,

Fears were felt here the party in

works of Byrd's shack, buried by snow.
A Sy,

and the group struggling to reach him.
At 3:45 pm. Friday the rescue party
reported by radio that it was 81 miles
south of Little America. The men
said they were camping briefly to re-
pair the generator and snatch bite
to eat.
They were supposed to get into
communication again at 7:45 pm,
but they missed the schedule and the
base camp called them, without re-
sponse.
At 8 pm. the following progress re-
port was broadcast in the hopes that
Admiral Byrd would hear it:
They are at 81. They are at 81

by while Waite moved from the tractor
into the shack and settled down to
work on the hand-cranked generator
which Admiral Byrd has been using
for communications since the gasoline

Waite explained that the relief

GASOLINE TICKLE,
TESTS DISCLOSE
Efficiency Found to Vary From
Week to Week in Same
Brands.

By the Associated Press.
TROY, N. Y, August ia three
year study of service station gasoline,
revealing that it's test" efficiency
varies from week to week, even day to
day, and from station to station, was
made public yesterday at Walker lab
oratory of Rensselaer, Polytechnic In
stitute.
The variations were found in the
same brands of gasoline, from causes
all or mostly outside the manufactur-
er's control, and due to storage. de-
livery, weather and the heredity of
the gasoline. The study showed the
changes may be sufficiently great to
affect car performance, but probably
not enough for the average motorist
to notice.
They disclosed new kinks" in the
gasoline problem and indicated that
there has been broad improvement
in motor fuels, in that they increas-
ingly approximate the car needs for
which they are made. The inveSti-
CATION was made by Dr. H M. Faigen-
baum, M. D. MacNaughton, H. D.
Donovan, G. F. Hodgson and R. M
Beach.
1t was explained that some of the
gasoline escapes by evaporation, and
the truant portion is the fast vaporiz-
ing stuff which affects the test" rat

50 UNDER ARREST
IN CUBAN STRIKE
Island Mail Service SnarIed.
Batista Charges Attempt
to Undermine Army.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HAVANA. August l3.--As the
Cuban administration moved today to
untangle a snarl in the islands COM
munications. brought about by a strike
of postal and communications en-
ployes. Col. Fulgencio BatiSta, COM
mander of the army and strong man
of Cuba" made a bitter verbal at
tack on opponents.
Col. BatiSta accused the Central
Council Of the A. B. c. secret politi-
cal society with attempting to break
down the discipline Of the army after
trying Ito persuade me to set up a
Fascist army
Ultimatum to Strikers.
DR.. Miguel Suarez. secretary Of COM
munications, issued an ultimatum or
dering his striking employees to return
to work by tomorrow or lose their
Jobs. Police arrested more than SO
of the strikers during the night. The
exact charges against those arrested
were not announced, but it was gen.
orally believed they were taken into
custody to prevent them agitating
other government workers to inaugu-
rate sympathy strikes.
This is the third day that Cuba has
been without mail, and travellers
bound for the United States were be-
sieged with requests to carry letters
TO the continent.
Batistas attack on the A. B. c.
Central Council-which he made clear
he was directing only at the council
and not at the A. B. c. membership
followed an editorial in the A. B. c.
newspaper, Accion, which declared
that in the army there was "a lack Of
discipline, unconformity and rebel
lion," adding that the government
of President Mendieta does not want
or does not know how to govern"
A. b. c. Believed Divided.
The controversy. breaking out on
eAAS AAAoN oAAAAfCAodIy Vi bAtC ONCAbklION
Of Gerardo Machado from the preSi-
dency. was regarded as splitting the
A. B. c. into two factions, one sup
porting the Central Council and the
other opposed to 1t.
After condemning the Central Coun-
Gil, Col. Batista singled out Joaquin
Martinez Saenz, former secretary of
the treasury, for bitter attack.
Batista said the withdrawal Of A.
B. c. members from the cabinet a
few months ago was for the purpose
Of trying to rebuild the personality
that vanished through its lack Of sue
cess as secretary of the treasury"
The army chief said he had docu-
mentary proof about the secret nego-
tiations which Martinez Saenz car
ried on at the time he made his off,
cial trip to Washington about the
coinage Of silver" However, he did
not elaborate on that theme.

fruit crops. which would otherwise
not be harvested, as well as hay.
Would Cut Public Lands.
In addition to purchasing of hay
from farms where it otherwise would
not be cut, Mr.. Williams proposed
to the President that grass on pub
lie lands be cut and baled for the
program to be worked out for the
feeding of live stock.
To make the relief work entirely
non-partisan in character, the thou
sands of persons throughout the
States identified with the F. e. r. A,
have been notified that they must not
engage in politics during this emerg-
ency period. Mr.. Williams said that
the President is strongly determined
in this matter.
No one on the paid staff of the F. E.
r. A. may be candidate for political
office in his respective State, and
none shall engage actively in any
political campaign. Mr.. williams said
that this notice has been served on
all the paid workers throughout the
country, and will be strictly adhered
to. He said that it is quite natural
that some of these workers are par
t1San In politics, and that this is not
confined to any one State.
Slight Gain Shown.
The President was told by Mr.. Will
lams today that the last advices re-
ceived at his office show the drought
situation Is showing a slight impreve-
ment. While this is encouraging, Mr..
Williams made it plain that it will
not prompt the administration to
lessen its activities In working out a
general relief plan.
Secretary Wallace said as he was
leaving the White House that he saw
no reason for a change in the plans
OF the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
miniStration so as to properly meet
conditions. He pointed out that the
purpose of the A. A A. has always
been one for adjustment and not re-
duction or increase.
The agriculture head declared with
emphasis that in forming a definite
emergency policy steps must be taken
to give assurance that the consumer
is to be properly cared for, not only
for the immediate period, but next
year as well. He indicated that this
can be done, although he considers
the drought as the worst this country
ever has had.
VIII Determine Control.
After taking care of the consumer,
Wallace believes that the next major
question is to determine to what ex-
tent there should be a relaxing in
acreage control. He said this would
be governed by the situation that ex-
lists when the time arrives.
Wallace does not believe foodstuff
profiteering will be extensive. He
said that advanced prices will be in
evitable as a result Of shortage but
the Government will take drastic
steps to prevent the public from "ar-
tificial corners" and undue profiteer-
ing on the part of individuals or
groups attempting to take advantage
Of this calamity"
