CRIMSON TIDE STAR BACK
 TO BE IN SCRIMMAGE,

Tuscaloosa, Ala. (UP)- Dixie Howell, versatile halfback on the Alabama Crimson Tide, has been pronounced recovered and in con- dition to resume his gridiron ca reer this autumn after treatment for a badly injured knee.
 Howell was hurt in the last game of the season last year, and physicians feared he might never return to the gridiron. The injury kept him from spring training and prevented him from playing on the Tide baseball team this year.
 Coach Frank Thomas will shift Howell from left to right halfback this year. He will continue to carry most of the bunting load for the, Tide-a duty in which he ex- cclled last year.

BIZ Jnited Press
WASHINGTON, March 15.-Pres-
ident John A. Simpson of the Ma
tionaI Farmers Union died early
today, a few hours after suffering
critical heart attack.
Mr.. Simpson, long one Of the ma
tons foremost agricultural leaders,
was so. He died at Emergency hos
pital, not long after he had APP
peared before the senate finance
committee in connection with legiS-
lation which would tax imported
vegetable oils
Mr.. Simpsons home is at Okla
homa City. His wife and daughter,
who were here with him, were at
his bedside when he died.
John A. Simpson was one of the
most vigorous of the present day
leaders of farm factions.
AS president of the National
Farmers Union. he was an untiring
organizer and champion of legisla-
tive programs which he believed
would aid agriculture sorely beset by
the general business depression.
His real goal, he once explained.
was to rearrange the nations eco
nomic structure to insure an equita-
bic distribution of national income
at the close of each year. A per-
sistent critic of national farm adj
ministrations, Mr.. Simpson travelled
from coast to coast preaching the
doctrine of organization to farmers.
Organizing farmers union chap
tiers. he said, was only hobby. He
was pre- eminently successful in this
pursuit.
His appeals to disorganized agri-
culture we're sensational in tone.
With Milo Reno, head of national
farm holiday groups, Simpson
preached a doctrine of revolt
against the established economic
order. His ancestors fought in the
American revolution and he seldom
made a speech without referring to
the declaration of independence
which he considered the most rev.
dictionary. of documents.

LABOR BOARD
is CHALLENGED
General Motors Refuses to
Accept Order to Bargain
With Unions.
BIZ I BjtCd Press


WASHINGTON, March 15.-The
General Motors Corporation today
challenged the national labor
boards authority to compel it tc
bargain with unions which have
threatened serious strikes in the
automobile industry.
w. S. KnudSen, executive vice
president, presented the corpora
tons views in hearings called in an
effort to avert labor troubles. PreSl-
dent William Green of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor at the same
time said the dispute threatened to
become zone of the greatest strikes
in American history"
Mr.. Knudsen charged the unions
had made no attempt to negotiate
and hence had no standing before
the labor board. He declared Cen
eral Motors could not make any
commitment or accept any obliga-
ton" to hold new elections of its
workers.
Labor leaders earlier had accused
the Buick. Hudson and Fisher Body
Companies with establishing and
dominating company unions in vio-
lation of the automobile code.
Mr.. Knudsen answered demands
of A. F. of l.. unions for increased
wages by stating that hourly wage
rates are as high as in 1929 and
average weekly earnings only Slight
| w less He said wages can not be
raised without increasing prices.
Nevertheless, he said. General
Motors has decided to join with the
National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce plan to reduce hours in
all plants from 40 to 36 a week by
March 81 and to raise hourly
wages correspondingly.
