SEEK TRAFFIC
COORDINATION
Commission To Formulate
Government Policies
Urged On F. r.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. (UP)
A coordinating commission to for
mulate governmental policies to-
ward all transportation from slow
Mississippi river barges to the
fastest streamlined trains and
airplanes was recommended to
President Roosevelt yesterday.
The proposal was included in a
report from Secretary of war
George H. Dern, Secretary of
Commerce Daniel G. Roper and
transportation Coordination Jo-
Seph B. Eastman.
Roper also disclosed that a spe-
cial inter-departmental committee
was studying all phases OF trans
portation and would make recon-
mendations later to President
Roosevelt.
The proposal would bring about
a single regulatory unit Tor all
transportation which is now under
the war department, interstate
commerce commission, depart
ment of commerce and transpor-
tation coordinator. Such action
has been supported for years by
the railroads who claimed that
thew. under regulation, could not
fairly compete with buses and
trucks subject to no restrictions
at all.
Roper said that trucks and
buses specifically would be includ-
ed along with water, rail and air
transportation.
eve hope to work out trans
portation system, which will great
" aid, if not solve, all our distri-
button problems" Roper said.
The movement to have Ameri-
can commerce carried IN an
American merchant marine was
expected to receive. impetus from
such a coordinating unit. Roper
pointed out that he was asking
for increased appropriations for
the bureau of foreign and domes-
tic commerce because of expected
foreign trade expansion.
This increased trade, it was
said, offered an opportunity 1or
expansion of foreign trade car
ried on American ships.

Italy, France Join In Far-Reaching
Accord For Guaranteeing Austrian

told intimates: "Italy will make
a gesture of peace to Jugoslavia,
and is only too glad to do so,
but only after the agreement is
signed"
Tension on political problems
in central Europe has kept Italy
and Jugoslavia apart for years.
At the height of the Nazi upris-
ing in Austria last summer Italy
massed troops on both Austrian
and Jugc-Slavian borders.
Austria meanwhile was report
ed opposed to any agreement to
support her independence which
has the guarantee of Jugoslavia
and Czecho-Slovakia. The Aus
trian minister in Paris, Lothar
Egger-M oellwald, repeatedly told
Laval Vienna wants France, in
case such a pact is concluded, to
accept a special military respon-
sibility and presumably guard
against the eventuality of an TIA
liam invasion.
In Paris, the CABINETS decl-
sion that Laval proceed to Rome
was hailed as his greatest poll
tical accomplishment since re-
turning to active participation in
the French government last year.

new 80 HOUR
BILL DRASTIC
Blacks Second Bill To
Shorten Work Week Far
More Extreme
By LYLE c. BROOKOVER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. GJP)
he long expected fight over the
3O-hour week sought by organized
labor broke last night when SEN
ator Hugo Black, D., Ala, made
public his bill which would i'm
pose a fve-day six-hour work
limit upon every mine, mill, cam
merry, quarry, workshop, factory
or manufacturing establishment in
the nation.
Black said he would introduce
the measure at the earliest OPP
portunity. The act would be eff
fective for two years and carries
penalties of 5000 fine or impris-
onment of three months or both
for violations.
The provisions Of the measure
are far more extreme than those
contained in the Black bill passed
by the senate last session by a
vote of SO to 80. This bill finally
was killed when the house sought
to amend it to provide virtual
embargo on foreign products.
"Private business has not been
able and is not now able to give
jobs to the millions who need
them, on past or existing hours
of labor Black said in explain
ing the bill.
He added that he had not con-
ferred with President Roosevelt
and that his bill was not an ad-
ministration measure. The Chief
Executive, however, is known TO
be opposed to any act which will
impose rigid standard of en-
ployment upon industry. He pre-
fers more flexible plan subject
to revision and which can be
made to meet the problems of in-
dividual industries.
Blacks new bill also embodies
the controversial majority repre-
sentation plan, so bitterly opposed
by industry. The measure stipu-
lated that no article or commod-
ity shall be shipped, transported
or delivered in foreign or inter-
state commerce which was pro-
duced or manufactured in plants
where workers toiled for more
than six hours in five days a
week.
Officers, executives and super
intendents and their personnel
and immediate clerical assistants
are exempted from the provisions
of the act.
Under Blacks measure govern
ment departments would not be
permitted to purchase or contract
for materials from companies not
employing the shorter work week.
Government lending agencies
could not make loans to compa-
MES not abiding by the 30-hour
week. -

New Deal Dissension Is Denied By
Ickes And Roosevelt But Recalls
Government Feud q Years Ago
One Involved Was In Incl.
dent Wrecking Taft
Regime
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3. (UP),
Dissension within the New Deal
administration was briefly illumi.
mated yesterday by reports that
President Roosevelt had sought
discharge of two trusted advisers
to Secretary of Interior Harold
L. Ickes.
President Roosevelt and Ickes
promptly denied the report. That
disposes of the question so far as
the White House is concerned but
does not disturb the background
of i'll feeling among several New
Deal officials.
There are indications that some
of Ickes' influential enemies are
striking at him through two sub
ordinates. The men involved ir
reports of White House pressure
are:
Louis R. CLAWS, chief sleuth of
the investigating force named by
Ickes to protect PWA funds
against graft.
Ebert K. Burlew, PWA admin,
istrative assistant in charge of
personnel.
Published reports of the Claws
Burlew incident suggested the
possibility Ickes might resign
from the cabinet rather than sac
rifice either of his aides if outside
pressure forced a showdown. I'm.
less Mr.. Roosevelt were to side
with the anti-Ickes element with
in the New Deal the likelihood of
any action at all would be re-
mote.
In support of other evidence
that Ickes has powerful opposition
among Mr.. Roosevelt's advisers is
authoritative information that at
least one member of the Roose-
Welt cabinet was investigated by
order of the secretary of interior.
This investigation took place,
the United Press was informed,
some months ago. 1t is believed
to have been directed toward dis
covering possible interests the in
vestigated cabinet member may
have had in PWA expenditures.
But the objective remains OBJ
scure.
Claws detectives now are al
legged to have tapped telephone
wires to listen in on conversations
of cabinet members and other Of
ficials.
Burlew is an interior depart
ment veteran whose continuance
in high office under the New Deal
aroused antagonism among Pro-
eressive elements in congress. he
is alleged now to be hostile to
some New Deal policies. lckes de-
Tended both Burlew and CLAWS
and insisted they were sincere
New Dealers.
CLAWS returned to the Interior
department with the Roosevelt
administration. He was discharged
as departmental investigator IN
1909 when he charged that a Nor
gan-Guggenheim syndicate and
others were establishing illegal
claims to land in Alaska. Richard
