DR.. BorcherS said:
ASKED about the truth of a publi-

being the Friends of New Germany,

National Socialists existed in the
''Only single. unorganized members
OF the National Socialists lived in the
United States, and that to my knowl-
edge they numbered not more than a
few hundred, most of them being old
party members, since no new admis-
sions to the party were permitted.
Since German immigrants always
had comprised members Of all kinds
OF German political parties, such as
the Social Democrats, Democrats or
Centrists, it was an outrage to repre-
sent the existence Of a few hundred
National Socialists in the United
States as a menace to this country.

sent the foregoing facts to the Ameri-
can public, which was entitled to a

RAIL CONTROVERSY
up TO ROOSEVELT.
Eastman Outlines Issues
Between Employers and
Workers on Pay.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt will have to try
his skill as q concilator again when
he gets back from his vacation.
Joseph B. Eastman, unable to settle
the controversy over railroad wages,
indicated last night it will be up to
Mr.. Roosevelt to straighten it out.
Eastman, who is co-ordinator of
transportation, outlined the conten-
tions of both sides in a dispute which
arose in view of the expiration June
80 Of an agreement which slashed
basic wages 10 per cent. He said:
"The labor representatives appear
unwilling to entertain any proposal
which would continue the 10 per cent
deduction until the end OF the year.
"Traffic Is Improving"
"On the other hand the railroad
representatives appear unwilling to
entertain any proposal which would
not so continue it, unless earnings and
traffic reach condition which in their
opinion would justify restoration"
On the side of the railroads, East
man said:
"The conditions which led to the
10 per cent deduction still exist -
While traffic is improving, a large
amount of deferred maintenance has
accumulated and the railroads face
serious dangers ahead in the competi-
tion from other forms Of traffic.
1T is essential to the welfare OF
the industry. including the welfare
of its employees. that it would have a
breathing space, as business reViVeS,
in which the properties can be re-
stored to good condition and. If pos
sible, some improvement in net earn
ings shown"
Tendency to Higher Pay"
The employees, however, he said,
have suffered much more than the
10 per cent deduction through demo-
tions, part time and furloughs.
The tendency Of the times" he as
serted, is toward higher prices and
higher wages - Traffic is improy-
ing, business is recovering, and other
industries are increasing their
wages. The railroad EMPLOYEES
are in a state of serious unrest and
can no longer endure to be left out
OF this program. They must be given
at least some share in the benefits of
revival"
The labor representatives further
suggest that the financial structures of
the railroads are unsound, because of
the dsproportionate burden OF fixed
charges.
SkepticaI on Assurances.
II, therefore, an increase in wages
should precipitate conditions which
would compel the readjustment Of
these financial structures, such a re-
suit would conduce to sounder eco
homie conditions in the industry and
would help it to meet the new COM
petltlVe conditions. In the meantime
the employees would be as we'll off
under receivers or trustees as under
present conditions. if not in a better
situation, as they have learned by ex-
perience.
They have also learned from ex-
perience not to rely upon assurances
that increased earnings will be used
to add to employment"
Continuing. he said:
"The fact should be emphasized that
there is no present prospect Of strike
and that If further effort at settlement
fails, the controversy must proceed in
accordance with the orderly procedure
provided by the railway labor act"

The administration Endorsed unem-

Industrial representatives and spokes-
men for the bar association brought
to the House Ways and Means Sub

Manufacturers Association.
The social legislation workers.

Declared Business Drawback
"On paper, 5 per cent tax on pay
rolls may be ideal, but in practice it
would result in the definite retarding
of business recovery.
Publishers of small town neWSpa-
pers have difficulty in providing cash
necessary to meet weekly pay rolls
without being obliged to put aside an
other 5 per cent in order to pay this
excise tax.
The newspapers, which We repre-
sent, cannot absorb this new tax"

lines. Walter Allen of the National
Editorial Association, BrOokline, Mass,
told the committee. I'VE are an indus

Miss Marguerite LIE Hand, private
secretary to President Roosevelt, is on
a vacation, but she admits she'd
rather be at work, despite the noun
tain of mail that keeps her busy at the
White House for long hours, mail re-
questing everything from jobs to Mrs
Roosevelt's old clothes.

being busy at the executive Offices
because at the moment believe there
is no place in the world as interesting
as the White House. So much is
happening and so much is being
DONE"

a vacation, anyway, because the PreSi-

Astor. and the President ruled there
should be no lady fishermen along.

Miss LIE Hand said. "Mr. Astor was
willing that there should be women
aboard, but when the President fishes,
he never allows women aboard"
So Miss LIE Hand, tall, handsome
woman with wide clear-blue eyes,
prematurely graying hair, who has
been with Mr.. Roosevelt since his
campaign for the vice presidency in
1920, came to the home of her sister,
Mrs. Anne M. Rochon, for a brief
holiday.
OF the President, Miss lie Hand
says: THE President of the United
States is the most human person !
have ever met. He is naturally kindly
and has fine sense of humor."
The present occupants of the White
House, she says, constitute one merry,
wholesome family where grandeur of
Office has not been allowed to over
shadow the kindly personal, human
relations.
