survive in the United States,
according to Lawrence Tibbett, bari
tone of the Metropolitan Opera, who
will appear here in recital at Consti-
tuition Hall three weeks from today,
when he inaugurates Mrs. Dorothy
Hodgkin Dorsey's Sunday afternoon
recital series on November 4, at 4

Addressing the recent Conference
on Current Problems and Changing
Standards at the Hotel Waldorf-As-
toria in New York, Tibbett declared,
with great emphasis, that 20 years
ago ne would not have dared to in
clude songs like "Old Man River"
DE Glory Road" "Bricklayer Love"
or American Lullaby" on his recital
programs.
To-day" said Tibbett, American
audiences enjoy such songs unasham-
edly. Twenty years ago, they would
have been received with deepest en-
barrassment and would have taken
my artistic life in my hands to sing
them"
VEHUDI MENUHIN, 17-year-old vio-

A.E.L. OPENS WAR
ON RED LAB0RERS
Communists Will Be Ex-
PEELED From Membership,
Green Says.
BY the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. August
18.-The American Federation of La
Dor. charging Communists believed
control of the federation was "pri-
mary requisite to world revolution"
today opened a war" to expel them
from organized labor's ranks.
William Green, federation president,
disclosed the reported activities of
Communists had been considered by
the Executive Council in its To-day
session here, and said three-point
program was mapped against both
the open and concealed attempts of
Communists to force the imposition of
their philosophy upon the working
people of our Nation"
Reports show" Green said. that
the advocates of Communism are
complying with instructions Of the
Russian Third Red Internationale to
bore from within the local and ma
tional organizations Of labor. They
became increasingly active immedi-
ately following the recognition Of
Soviet Russia by the United States" :"
The labor leader charged that Com
munism is 'anti-American and is
committed to world revolution" and
that it sees in every strike an op-
portunity to overthrow the existing
order"
In order to combat" Communism,
Green said, the concil proposed these
steps:
/. To call upon all subordinate or
ganized units to ferret out" the Com
munists and to expel them from
membership when it is clearly estab-
lished" they are members of the Com
munist organization and are engaged
in carrying on Communist propa-
ganda.
2. To call upon members of or
ganized labor to resist attempts to
impose Communism upon them
through violence, force, intimidation
or any other methods; TO call upon
governmental authorities to protect
trade unionists who seek to comply
with agreements made with employers.
3. To ask the Department of Labor
TO deport alien Communists who are
in the United States Illegally.

Official Says.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Surg. Gen. Hugh s. Cumming OF
The Public Health Service said yester-
day that "if the vaccine against in
fantile paralysis reported by DR.. John
A. Kolmer of Philadelphia proves of
value, it will be an important addi-
ton to the present resources of the
health officer"
DR.. Kolmer's research. other off,
eials added. Is along the same lines
as those followed by its own infan-
tile paralysis specialist, DR.. w. T.
Harrison, and by DR.. w. H. Park of
the New York City Health Department.
Most Promising Field.
Prevention of the disease by means
OF a vaccine such as DR.. Kolmer has
announced is believed the most prom
ising field of attack. The use of
serums to cure the disease after it has
invaded the body has not been as sue
cessful as had been hoped, the Pub
lie Health Service said.
Infantile paralysis is caused by a
virus believed transmitted by Secre-
tions of the nose and throat. In 1888
there we're 1883 cases of the disease
and $40 deaths.
Many Cases Not Known.
Scientists believe that many cases
OF infantile paralysis are not recog-
nized because the patient is not para
1yzed. They feel there are many mild
cases which are never suspected be-
cause the patient RECEIVERS, after suf-
fering only mild fever and digestive
upset. Persons recovering from such
q mild attack become immune for
life
The most recent outbreak of infan-
tile paralysis in California is now on
the wane, with about 20 new cases re-
ported weekly as against 109 at the
peak.

PAPERS THREATEN
TO NUL1FY CODE
Say Authority, Not Labor
Relations Board, Should
Handle Jennings Case.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
An assertion that all newspapers
might be advised to withdraw from
N. R. A. codes if the Labor Relations
Board accepted jurisdiction in dis
pute between the San Francisco Call
Bulletin and one of its former en-
ployes was expressed yesterday before
the board by Elisha Hanson, counsel
for the newspaper.
The complaint was brought before
the board by Dean Jennings, who said
he was forced to resign his position
as the Call-Bulletins chief rewrite
man because of activities with the
Newspaper Guild.
Hanson, who also is counsel for the
American Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION, held the dispute was one
which should be handled by the News
paper Industrial Board, the code
authority.
Alexander Lindey, speaking for the
guild, contended the Labor Relations
Beard was given authority to treat
with such cases by the law establish
ing It, enacted by Congress last Spring.
Hanson Gives Version.
The hearing was closed, but subse-
quently Hanson gave this version of
the hearing to newspaper men:
Il was asked what would happen If
the board issued an order in this case.
I said that Mr.. CWilliam Randolph)
Hearst, owner of the paper, would not
comply with it.
Il was asked If I was authorized
to state the position of Mr.. Hearst. I
said his position was that if the code
was meaningless in so far as the Gov
ernment was concerned, it was mean
ngleSS in so far as he was concerned
I was asked what position the A.
N. P. A., the five regional associations
and the code authority would take.
l replied that I was not authorized to
speak for those.
Threatens Code Liquidation.
But I added that If the board as
serted jurisdiction. I would be called
upon for advice, and I|would then say
that If the Government violated the
code my clients should notify the Gov
ernment and liquidate the code i'm
mediately. Then it would be left to
the election of individual newspapers
as to what they would do.
The code sets up complete ma
chinery for adjudication of disputes.
1t specifically provides that the Gov
eminent cannot modify the code or
change it without the consent of the
newspapers. If the board asserts
jurisdiction, it is a violation of the
code and a notification of the code"
He recalled that the membership
Of the Newspaper Industrial Board
comprised four employers and four
workers including one Newspaper
Guild representative, with a ninth
impartial member to be chosen if the
eight other could not agree:
Not Organized to Handle Case.
Lindey, the guild representative,
told the board correspondence between
the San Francisco Regional Labor
Board and the code authority showed
the latter was not organized to handle
the case.
Jonathan Eddy, the guilds executive
secretary, said Jennings would have
been discharged If he had not re-
signed. Jennings had asked to have
| his vacation at a specific time so, as a
delegate, he could attend a guild con-
vention.
Eddy traced the history of the guild
chapter at the Call Bulletin, assert
ing that coercive measures had been

The conversations of the State De-
partment with the European nations
for the conclusion Of reciprocal trade
agreements are progressing with snail
like rapidity.
Slight Interest Shown.
The last two countries which have
been approached, Sweden and Nor
way, are showing now less than a pla-
tonic interest in them.
Sweden was willing to talk, but ex-
pected the United States to make all
the concessions. The Stockholm gov
ernment says that since the highest
tariff in existence in that country does
not exceed Is per cent ad valorem
and the American tariffs are much
higher, it is up to this country to do
any tariff reducing that has to be
done.

gress has put 2-cent-d-pound

cipdI items Nor,pay exports to this

CONTINUE ACTIVITY
Dissolution Proposal Tabled
and One Meeting a Year
Plan Lost.

After tabling a proposal calling for
dissolution of the organization the
Foxhall Village Citizens Association
last night defeated proposed consti-
tutional amendment providing for only
one meeting each year and involving
other changes In the present plan of
administration.
The proposed amendment, which
failed by only two votes to get the
necessary two-thirds majority, fur
ther provided for election at the an
nual meeting of the officers, who
would handle all business except when
they felt the action of the association
was needed, at which time special
meetings could be called. Meetings
could be called also by 10 or more
members.
New Officers Soon.
President Clarence M. Charest,
speaking against both proposals, point
ed out new officers will be elected at
the next meeting and declared they
should be given a fair chance before
any administrative changes are made.
Pointing out the small attendance
and apparent lack of interest in their
meetings, r. w. Westwood, who made
both proposals, declared he presented
the first one ''in the hope it would not
be adopted but would stir up some
needed action in the association" :"
The second proposal, he said, was Of
fered as solution.

Action was postponed until next
month
The association opposed the rerout-
ing of a bus line through Forty
fourth street. between Conduit and
Reservoir roads, as has been pro-
posed by Peoples Counsel William A.
Roberts. The citizens claim this
street Is not suitable as a traffic
artery because of its narrow, winding
character and declared the estab-
ltShment of the bus line would en-
danger the lives of children.
Nominations Made.
The following members were pro-
posed by the Nominating Committee
as new officers, and will be voted
upon at the next meeting: Nugent
Dodds, president; Charles G. Wood
bury, first vice president: H C.
Spruks, second vice president; Mrs.
Samuel Conklin. secretary, and Mrs.
Fred E. NeSsel, treasurer.
The association protested the con-
dition of the alley between Greenwich
Parkway and Reservoir road and asked
improvements in its surfacing and
grading. The group also decided to
cooperate with the Garden Club in
an effort to keep the alleys clean of
trash.
The group voted to cooperate with
the Rose Lee Hardy Home and School
Association in a Christmas celebra-
tion, and committee of three was
to be appointed for the work.
