AUTO INDUSTRY ANDLABOR DRAW
 NEAR THE BREAK
Every Effort Being Made By Leaders to Prevent
 Great Strike

Washington, March 17.-UP)- Industry's ability to govern itself was put to the test today as auto- mobile manufacturers sought some means of averting a crisis with labor. The situation held implica- tions of major import to the entire MIRA setup and the presidents re- covery program.
 Upon the shoulders of the three man code authority of the automo- bile industry was placed responsi- bility for settling the long-fester- ing labor dispute which had reach ed the point where the American Federation of Labor had ordered 75,000 men to strike.
 It seemed likely however that some solution would be reached, probably on the basis of appoint ment of mediation board whose findings would be agreeable to all parties. Though no direct word came from the president, it was be- lieved he was taknig a hand behind the scenes.
 William S. Collins, A. IF. of L., organizer. said the strike would start Wednesday if an agreement is not reached.
 The serious nature of the crisis lay not alone in the effects the walkout might have on the revived business of the specific General Mo- tors and Hudson Motor Car plants involved. Once started it is feared a strike would spread to the entire auto industry and possibly to the steel industry and into other fields.
 Nucleus of the trouble is the bit terly-contested section "A of the automobile code detailing the rights of. workers to organize ..
 The labor charges will be con- 6dered Monday by the code author ity which will meet Tuesday with recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson.
 If these men succeed where all other resorts have failed, it was conceded they will have gone a long way toward proving the right and ability of industry to maintain it's own order.
 If they fail, most observers be- lieved the MIRA must undergo sub-

FLYING THE RED
 FLAG ANCERS HER
New York Woman Scores the Present Conditions
 in Flag Raising

Philadelphia, March IT, (UP).- A bitter attack against the flying of the red flag of Soviet Russia in conjunction with the Stars and Stripes enlivened the closing ses- sions of the Pennsylvania State chapter, National Society of the United States Daughters of 1912.
 During the recent reception to the new Russian ambassador in New York" Mrs Edward B. Huling of Larchmont, N. Y.. said, "The red flag of the Soviets was hung next to our flag.
 "It was one of the most fragrant abuses of flag-fying I know"
 And to make matters worse, in the opinion of Mrs Huling, the In- ternationale was played following the Star Spangled Banner.
 Tt struck terror to my soul when I learned recently in Washington that the army and marine bands were practicing the InternationaIe and Soviet flags were being made to fly the masts of our naval ships she said.

Nearly 800 peace officers were con- centrated in the surrounding blockading all roads and stopping within 50-mile radius of this city. The intensive vigil was maintained after Youngblood, dying from seven bullet wounds yesterday, said that Dillinger and three other men accompanied him here following the wooden pistol jailbreak at Grown Point, Ind.
 Dillinger's negro pal died shoot ing it out" with three officers Tn a small grocery store, owned by Mrs. Pearl Abraham, on the out skirts of Port Huron. Youngblood mortally wounded Cavanaugh, and shot two other officers and a ne- gro store employe. Deputy Sheriff Howard Lohr was in a critical con- dition with an abdominal wound. Sheriff William Van Antwerp and Eugene Fields, son of the store owner. suffered minor arm wounds. A search was being made for Roy Parks, a white man, who was re- ported to have accompanied Youngblood into the store shortly before the gun battle. Parks slip ped away when the peace officers appeared.
 Numerous unfounded rumors kept Michigan and Canadian au- thorities constantly on the alert. Some authorities doubted that the outlaw was in this vicinity, theor- izing that the crafty Dillinger had sent the negro here as a foil
 A report that Dillinger had crossed the St. Clair river in a row. boat here, accompanied by two men, and was met by fourth man in an automobile on the Ontario side. could not be confirmed. search of the river bank on the Canadian side failed to reveal boat

PACKAGE STORES
 HAVE WON OVER
 LIQUOR BOARD
Allowed to Make Sales of Liquors the Same as
 the Druggists

Hartford, Conn, March IT, (UP)-A federal restraining order today withheld enforcement of the state liquor control act as it applies to package store owners.
 As result package stores are per mitted to sell liquor under the same regulations. as govern drug stores, except for the compromising of prescriptions.
 The restraining order, effective today, was issued by U. $. District Court Judge Edwin s. Thomas last night on petition of Attorney Thomas J. Spellacy, representing the Connecticut Package Store as- sociation. The action was brought in the name of William Shore Hartford proprietor, to facilitate proceedings, and by order of the court package stores may sell as little as a half pint and keep oper between the hours of a. m. and II D. m., including Sundays and holidays. Under package store reg ulations sales were restricted to six days a week and between the hours of a. m. and 6 p. m.
 The application charges the act gives holders of druggists permits unfair discriminatory and unlaw- full advantages" and that the pro- visions of the act are "arbitrary and unreasonable and serve no end of public policy"
 While the proceedings were brought only under one name, all package store owners who desire to take advantage of it's liberalized terms may gain the same immunity to prosecution by applying to the court to be joined as party plain tiffs."
 Spellacy said such applications would be filed as promptly as re- ceived from the store owners.
 The action was directed against the governor, lieutenant-governor, states attorneys in the eight coun- ties and members of the liquor control board. The defendants are

COMMISSIONER JAMES M. LYNCH
 DECIDES CASE
AnsOnia Man Given Award for Serious Injuries
 He Had Received

It was never intended that the compensation act should be util- ized for the accumulation of un-
 reasonably large medical and hos pital bills, Compensation Commis- sioner James M. Lynch declares in decision handed down today in
 the case Of George Curley of 52
 Hubbell avenue, Ansonia against
 the City of Ansonia.
 He allows the claimant $2,600

 the rate of $5 weekly for period
 not to exceed 520 weeks. The
 award grants the payment of $3,63527 for medical, hospital and
 nurses bills.
 The original bill for medical services is cut by $578.44 by Com missioner Lynch. The Griffin hos pital bill of $1,157.27 and nurses bills of $1,350 are allowed, Curley was, injured December IS, l1932..@ 4Ie~was riding in a truck owned by the City of Ansonia,
 when it was suddenly brought to a stop, throwing the claimant out to
 the pavement. He was removed to the Griffin hospital where he remained six months. Commissioner Lynch's decision
 accompanying the award reads as follows:
 "This case forcibly emphasizes a belief all too common that the
 employer is liable for all medical and hospital bills irrespective of the amount involved or the status of the claimant.
 'The first concern of the work mems compensation act is to pro- tect the injured workman and give
 aid to him and his dependents
 during disa bility. It was never in- tended that the act should be util- ized for the accumulation of un-
 reasonably large medical and hos

 Athens, March 17.-(UP)- Charges of bribery and of an American kidnap plot brought bit ter recriminations today as Samuel Insull, frenzied, and railing at fate, approached Piraeus, the Port of Athens, in the 45 year old freight steamship, Maiotis.
 The little Maiotls passed Seriphos Island, 55 miles. southeast of Piraeus, around II a. m. today and seemed likely to reach port at about D. m. ell a. m. EST).
 Insults new lawyers, George Pop and George Xiros, said that he was obliged to flee Greece as he did to avoid Kidnapping by Amer can detectives, here to take him forcibly to the legation in event that he did not leave openly.
 They said also they would de- mand damages from the Greek government in Insults behalf be- cause the recall of the Maiotis in which he fled Wednesday was un justified.
 The lawyers seemed prepared for a bitter fight to the last to prevent Insull's open deportation by a route that would permit him to be trapped with an extradition warrant already awaiting in some country along the route of the Orient Express train.

er, win the game for New York.
On the fourth play he hammered
through his own right tackle, got into
the open and twisted through the Ma
ron secondary to score. Then, after
Smith missed the place-kick and New
York trailed, rs, he knitted the center
of the line in the second quarter and
moved on for a 43-yard touchdown
and the winning margin.
Lafayette made its one offensive bid
while Charley Stabley, Claude Blai-
kowski and Frank Bialek, its three
pony backs, still were fresh. These
three started a march from midfield
which ended successfully with Bialek
plunging over from 1-yard. Capt Nesi
