NEW YORK, Dec. %. WH-Be-
cause the National Labor Relations
board asked the NRA compliance
division to withdraw the Blue
Eagle of the San Francisco Call
Bulletin, representatives of 1900
newspapers will meet in immediate
convention to consider their con-
tinuance under the daily newspaper
code, Howard Davis, chairman of
the publishers national code COM
mittee, announced today.
Davis said the boards action vio-
lated the newspaper code and es-
tablished a precedent that might
endanger the freedom of the press
at some later date. The newspaper
publishing code contains specific
provisions giving the Newspaper
Industrial board jurisdiction over
all disputes and the act of the la
bor board was IAN attempt to
usurp power over the code
which is specifically prohibited"
he charged.
The labor board acted after the

NEWSPAPERS PLAN PROTEST ON
LABOR RELATIONS BOARDS ACT

Call Bulletin declined to obey It's
order to reinstate Dean s. Jen-
nings, a re-write man, who charged
he was dismissed because OF union
activities.
The convention of the 1,2OO
daily newspapers that assented 10
the code will be called on the in
structions of the American News
paper Publishers association, the
New England Daily Newspaper as
ISOLATION, the Southern Newspaper
Publishers association. the Del
Mar-Va association, the Inland
Daily Press association, and the
Pacific Northwest Newspaper as
sociation-these being the six pub
lishers' groups that cooperated in
preparing and submitting the news
paper code.
Regarded AS Violation
Davis, who also Is president OF
the American Newspaper Publish
ers' association, said all the asso-
Citations regarded the boards ac-
ton a violation of the code.
"The issue raised by the Nation
al Labor Relations board has pre-
cipitated the gravest problem with
which the press of this country
has yet been confronted" he said.
He incorporated in his statement
the communication the six asso-
Citations sent NRA December 10.
pointing out grave issues raised
by the boards action. Reviewing
this action, 1t set forth that the
code contains complete, final and
exclusive provision for the adjust
ment of controversies" and de-
clared that the board "has not
only asserted a jurisdiction over a
controversy, which, by both the
spirit and letter of solemn COM
pact between the President and
the publishers was exclusively vest
ed in the Newspaper Industrial
board, but even has asserted a
claim to superior Jurisdiction"
The communication conceded
that the issue of freedom of the
press might not be directly involv-
ed in the question of the dismiss
al of a newspaper employee, but
declared that "the issue of freedom
of the press is raised rather by the
attempt of the National Labor Re-
lations board to place construc-
ton on Article VII of the code con-
trary to that understood by the
parties to the compact and thus, in
effect, to modify the code in vio-
lation of the restrictions against
modification.

STANFORD HAS
NO CRIPPLES S

PASADENA, Dec. %. U.P) -
There II be no cripples on the Card
inal sidelines when Stanford ranges
itself against Alabama in the Rose
Bowl next Tuesday.
"Cripples? There aren't any, -
was Coach "Tiny" Thornhill' IS re-
joinder today to that question.
His words fired the enthusiasm
Of Stanford cohorts, fearful that
injury or illness had left unhealed
scars on Bobby Grayson, Monk
Moscrip. Keith Topping, or some
Of their teammates.
Thornhill' IS report was borne out
in practice. Grayson, All-America
back who has been nursing a pair
Of torn ribs, galloped through the
workout as though he had never
seen the interior of a sick ward.
Moscrip and Topping, the ends, per-
formed with equal zeal.

AND
bAER DUE To
MEET TONIGHT

CHICAGO, Dec. %. U.P)-The
champion and the clown meet to-
night-Max Baer VS.. King Levinsky
in a around battle at the Chicago
stadium.
The bout will be a heavyweight
title match with everyone except
the Illinois State Athletic commits
sion, which will not permit the
referee to render a decision. 1t
will be fought with regulation g.
ounce gloves, and the hand band
ages will be limited to three feet OF
gauze and two feet of tape. The
referee will count over either fight
er knocked down.
If Levinsky does the "impossi-
BILE" and knocks out Baer the Ill
inois commission will recognize
him as unofficial world s cham
piono and demand Baer meet him
in a title match.
If the bout goes the limit news
papermen at the ringside will rem
Ger decision.
Baer cannot lose his title, what
ever happens, but his prestige will
suffer irreparable damage by los
ing a newspaper decision. Indeed,
his drawing power will receive a
setback if he doesn It win handily.

in Sacramento on January 7.
Taxes Must Be Paid
1t seems that the people, gener-
ally, are desirous Of having state
services continued the same as are
now being rendered, Hatfield said.
"But,o he added, "when there is
talk of paying for these services
there is another question.
The legislature will be faced with
most serious problem to find
ways and means to raise this mon
ey and he pleaded for an open and
flexible mind on the part of the
public to aid the legislature in solv-
ing this difficulty He pointed out
several suggestions offered by which
these additional monies could be
raised and said that in his opinion
in all probability one or more of
these would finally be chosen.
Among these suggestions were:
postponement of the return of op-
erative property of public utilities
to the public tax rolls; that the tax
on corporation franchises and
banks be raised; the u cent on
sales tax be retained; that the sales
tax be raised to three cents; increase
in the inheritance tax; a state in
come tax; diversion of part of the
gasoline tax money from roads to
the general fund and also that ad-
ditional means Of taxation be
found.
Somebody is going to pay more
taxes IN 1935-37 than in 1933-35, -
Hatfield said, "and somebody will
feel the burden but such condition
cannot be helped If the present
condition of state government is to
continue. - He concluded his re-
marks with a plea for public inter-
est and alertness in the affairs of
government and that sympathetic
aid and assistance be given the
state legislators in the difficult
task now before them.
Fletcher Talks
Senator Ed Fletcher of San Di-
ego was the other speaker on the

solon spoke on road problems con-
fronting the two counties and called
for converted advertising pro-

from figures which showed that
within the past five years a marked

tiles in the four year period. In
