Resignation of Clancy Seen
Imminent Due to Dissensi0ns
Assistant N. X. A. Head
Held in Dispute With
Recovery Organization.

Copyright, 1884 by the Associated Press)
The resignation of A. R. CLANCY as
assistant N. r. A. administrator for
code compliance was reported in in
formed circles today to be imminent
as the result of dissension within the
recovery organization.
This development in the long in
ternal disagreement over settlement of
the Hartman (Tenn.) hosiery mills
dispute game while Hugh S. Johnson
conferred with President Roosevelt
over reorganization plans.
The controversy goes back to July,
when the Blue Eagle was restored
to the Hartman mills under an
agreement negotiated by CLANCY.
Johnson, then away on speaking
tour, and George L. Berry. division
administrator who had participated
in settlement negotiations, expressed
disapproval of the action.
1t appeared that Glancy's with
drawal plans have no connection with
the dispute between johnson and
Donald Richberg, N. r. A. general
counsel, which caused the Blue Eagle
administrator to present his resigna-
ton recently to President Roosevelt,
only to change his mind later.
The resignation of a division ad-
ministrator also is impending, it was
said, as a result of the latest dis
agreement between N. r. A. and in
dustry-which resulted last week in
the resignation of the National Retail
Solid Fuel Code Authority in body.
George Houston, whose division has
jurisdiction over coal dealers, said,
however, he would remain until I
am told my job is done"

The value of materials which may

RETIREMENT FUND
DECLARED SHORT
BabCock Charges Govern
ment Is $4,000, 600, 900 in
Arrears in Payments.
BY JOSEPH A. FOX,


NEW YORK, September IL
Charging that the Federal Govern
ment is more than $4,000, 900 900 in
arrears in its payments to the Federal
Employees Retirement Fund, E.
Claude Babcock, president of the
American Federation of Government
Employees, yesterday declared that the
Government should pay up or halt
the separations from the service
which are increasing this liability.
Babcock made the assertions in the
opening address of the federation's
third annual convention in session
here.
THE fund is in a condition which
no bank or insurance inspector would
permit to exist for three minutes in a
private business" he added.
Retirement Rolls Doubled.
Babcock asserted that the last off :
cial computation made in June, 1880,
had shown an accrued Federal liability
to the fund of $970000,000 Since
then, he pointed out, two compulsory
retirement provisions had more than
doubled the numbers of Federal en-
ployes on the retirement rolls.
Members of the federation, today
were awaiting the appearance of Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt as they went
into the second session of the con-
vention at the Pennsylvania Hotel.
The First Lady was expected to ar
rive from Hyde Park early this after
noon. and had promised to speak
briefly. Miss Mary Anderson, head
of the Womens Bureau, Department
of Labor, also was on the speakers
program.
Delay in the report of the Creden-
tial Committee had slowed the ma
chinery of the convention, which is
scheduled to wind up tomorrow eve
ming, but the federation already was
faced with the two proposals outlined
in Babcock's opening address.

Thirty gran


For Gov. Brann.
Which is just another way OF say
ing that the Pine Tree State went
hell bent" for the New Deal, in its
election yesterday.
Gov. Louis j. Brann, the Demo
cratic candidate, was reelected by
upward of thirty thousand votes-the
latest returns showed him 33,577 ahead
over his Republican opponent, Al
fred K. Ames.
The Democrats apparently have
elected two out of three of the dele
cation in the House of Representa-
tives. and if Senator Frederick Hale
Republican, has succeeded in winning
reelection, it is by the narrowest kind
of margin.
Two years ago Maine elected Brann
Governor by about 2,500. 1t also
elected two Democratic members o1
the House and one Republican.
Majority Vastly Increased.
Yesterday Maine gave the Demo
cratic candidate bigger majority thar
any Democratic candidate for thai
Office has had since the Civil War.
There was shift in the party align
ment in the House delegation. The
first district, which has been held by
Representative Carroll Beedy for tht
last IA years, was won by the Demo
crat, Simon M Hamlin. Complete
returns give Hamlin, 48,156, and
Beedy, 46,518.
The third district, held now by Rep
resentative John Utterback, Democrat
went over to the Republicans, anc
elected former Gov. Ralph o. Brewster
in Utterback's place. With IL pre-
cinctS to be heard from Brewster
polled 43,058 and Utterback 40,093.
The second district was held by Rep.
reSentative Edward c. Moran, Demo.
crat. With three precincts missing
Moran had 52,466 and zelma M
Dwinal, Republican, 46,518.
Prohibition Badly Beaten.
/ While the New Deal was triumph
ing in the election in Maine, that
proverbally and traditionally dry State
voted out of its constitution the So
year-old prohibition clause.
The prohibitionists were showed un-
der in this fight. The latest figures
showed 98,442 votes cast for repea
of the prohibition clause to 56,883 fol
its retention.
Names repeal of its constitutional
dry clause is a bitter pill for the drys
who have been striving to stage a
comeback through activities in the in
dividual States.
With seven precincts still to be
heard from out of 631, Senator Hale,
Republican held a margin of 1888
votes over F. Harold Dubord, Demo-
cratic candidate for the Upper House.
This margin is significant when it
is remembered that former President
Hoover carried Maine in the presi-
Dental election two years ago BY
$4,000. and when it is also remem-
bered that inN928 Senator Hale won
the election with a lead of $4,000
votes, and Senator White, Republican
in 1880, won by $4,000 votes.
Democrats Elated.
The Democratic leadership was
quick today to voice its satisfaction
with the Maine victory and to augul
from it that the rest Of the Nation
will be strongly pro-New Deal when
the general election takes place in
November.
"As Maine goes, so goes the Ma
tion," was the comment of Post
master General James A. Farley

DANVILLE, Va, September IL
R).-The United Textile Workers
strike in Danville was called off at
1:30 o'clock eastern standard
time) this afternoon.
BY the Associated Press.
While President Roosevelt's Textile
Strike Board sought a settlement of
the walkout in conferences with tex
tile employers today, Francis J. Cor
man, strike leader, warned there would
be no further extension beyond to-
night of the unions arbitration pro-
posal.
At the same time, the Textile Strike
Committee announced movement to
provide private relief plan for strik-
ing textile workers had been started
by group of Washington residents.
German delivered his ultimatum
at press conference as the manufac-
turers met the presidential board. The
union has agreed to submit its case
to arbitration by the presidential
board, provided mills remain closed
during negotiations, but its spokesman
insisted the offer would be withdrawn
if not accepted by o'clock tonight.
"Most Critical Day"
This is, perhaps, the most critical
day of the textile strike, and by night
we shall know whether we must carry
the battle to conclusion by stoppage
of work until management can stand
it no longer" German said.
Announcing the relief plan, the
committee said
After many days Of study group
of public-spirited citizens in Wash
ington has completed plans for re-
lief program over the whole strike
area and will recommend the setting
up of local relief committees in every
textile community. This will be a
challenge to those employers who
believe they can starve the workers
into submission"
The committee said the names of
those arranging the relief program
would be made public shortly.
Irritated by reports that Guards
men had been called out in New Eng
land States, German said:
THE day opened with flood of
reports of assaults upon strikers.
From almost the entire strike area,
we have reports of strikers shot,
strikers beaten, strikers cut by bay
onets in the hands of nervous Guards
men.
1T is worth noting that the Gov
ernor of Maine called out his Militia
at midnight last night, the moment
he knew he was reelected. Let me
say there will be more elections and
we shall not need to be told how to
vote.
Opposes Armed Guards.
"The mills laid their plans long ago
to use force of every kind. We knew
that and we said they were doing it.
They have recruited and armed the
most vicious characters they could
find. Their work has served as the
basis upon which militia has been
called out. The United Textile Work
ers oppose the use of the armed forces
of the State against strikers. We have
tried and we shall try to carry on in
peace"
German said reports from the strike
front showed stronger lines than yes
terday and estimated 100000 workers
were idle.
The Strike Board heard the manu-
facturers' side of the controversy from
l3 of the country's leading mill opera
tors.
The following manufacturers ac-
companied George A. Sloan, president
of the Cotton Textile Institute, to a
conference with the board:

GRAFT IN MEXICAN
ARMS SALE AIRED
Tie ups Between South
American Officials and
Plane Firm Told.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The use of graft to obtain airplane
sales in Mexico and South American
countries, along with close tie-ups be-
tween officials of several of these
countries and the Curtiss-W Wright Ex-
port Corp, were described today be-
fore the Senate Munitions Committee.
At the same time, the inquirers
into the munitions traffic received
kilograms from Amelia Earhart and
Ruth Nichols, woman aviators, pro-
testing against the mention of their
names in yesterdays proceedings.
Letters that went into the record
today said graft was accepted in
Mexico more freely than in any other
country with which the writer, an
agent for Curtiss-wright, had had
contact. The names Of several high
Mexican oficials were mentioned.
Bolivian Involved.
Controller General Lopez Of Bolivia
was said to have acted as a silent
partner of the agent for Curtiss-
Wright, but letters put into the record
insisted that Lopez was a man Of
rigid honesty.
Among the high officials of the
Mexican government drawn into the
investigation today were Gen. Aguilar,
former military attache in Washing
ton; Gen. Juan F. Azcarate, who sue
ceeded him in Washington, and Col.
Rordiguez Familiar, close friend to the
Mexican President in 1888
The assertion regarding graft was
made by Lawrence Leon, agent for
Curtiss-W Wright in Mexico City, on Au-
gust S, 1888, who was attempting to
make sale to the Mexican govern
ment.
Leon and other company officials
had reported difficulty with AZcarate,
then chief of staff to President Rodri-
guez, and who favored the Boeing
company.
Leon reported he had gone over
AZcarate's head to interest Col. Fa-
miliar, who subsequently replaced Az
carate as chief of staff when the lat
ter was sent to Washington, where he
is now.
New Men in Mexico.
"Our man In the Presidencia," Leon
wrote, now is Col. Rodriguez Fa-
miliar, very close friends of the
President and his protege. There will
be lot of squabbling, but I believe
the colonel will have his way in few
weeks time"
Leon reported he promised sedan
to the chief engineer in charge of
Mexican airships if he succeeded in
switching business to Curtiss-W Wright.
c. w. Webster, who then was presi-
dent Of Curtiss- Wright Export Corp,
said Leon had no authority to make
such an offer, and added:
Anyhow, we did not get the order"
The transfer of Azcarate to Wash
ington, further letter said, removed
an obstacle" to Curtiss- Wright busi-
ness in Mexico because he no longer
had anything to say about his govern
ment's airplane purchases.
Earlier testimony related that Cueto
Pozo acted as an agent for the
corporation at the same time he was
employed by the Bolivian foreign Office.

Treaties Abrogated
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT MADE
BY DAVIS in LONDON

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. (UP).
The United States today served
notice that this country will not
agree to Japan's demands for ma
val parity.
If Japan persists in it's deter
mination to abrogate the Wash
.ington and London naval treaties
she may expect a free-for-all ma
val construction race with strong
implication that the United States
can and will outstrip her in build
ing warships. :.
This American naval policy
announcement made at London
by Norman H. Davis, chief Amer
lean delegate to the navel con-
versations is the first such an
nouncement since the converse
tins started.
Although Davis spoke infor-
mally on his own responsibility,
his remarks presumably had the
full approval of President Roose-
welt and Secretary of State Cor
dell Hull.
