Deal "Private Matter"
Chertok said the deal has abso-

He declined to name date on which
the money would be paid over but said
It would be ''well within the 90-day

LEAGUE To AFFECT.
|. u. s, POPE STATES
Oil Deal Shows How Amer.
lea Might Be Drawn
In, He Says.
BY the Associated Press.


GENEVA, September 3.-Senator
Pope of Idaho, predicted today the
foreign policy Of the United States
would be affected by the present meet
ing Of the League Of Nations Council.
Whatever action is taken by the
League of Nations during the next
few weeks" said the Senator, who
is here to observe the council sessions
privately, will have a very profound
effect on the future foreign policy
of the United States.
"The recent acquisition by Amerl-
can interests Of an oil concession
in Ethiopian territory has, In my
opinion, served to convince most
Americans Of the ease with which
our country can become involved in
war.
For this and other reasons, there
is as much or more public interest
in the League In the United States
as in any other country. The people
Of the United States want TO stay
out Of war; public opinion will demand
our full cooperation with any agency
which proves itself capable Of main
tanning peace.
AT the present time, a very sub.
stantial portion of the public opinion
Of the United States favors the prin.
ciple of collective security. II the
League Of Nations is successful In
averting actual warfare between Italy
and Ethiopia. it will have proved its
capability for the successful appli-
cation of that principle.
IF the collective efforts are un.
successful in the present crisis. fear
the progress toward q system of Law
and order in the world will be halted
for q few years"

|MRS. |CKES' DEATH
| PROBE IS DELAYED
Body of Driver in Fatal
Crash Taken to Gallup
for Burial.
BY the Associated Press.

SANTA FE, N. Mex, September 8.
New Mexico's investigation into the
automobile wreck which killed Mrs.
Harold L. Ickes, wife Of the cabinet
member, was at a standstill today as
funeral services we're arranged for
Frank Allen, second victim Of the
mishap.
The body Of Allen, hired driver of
the car, was taken to his home at
Gallup, N. Mex, for burial after a
coroner's jury had decided his death
yesterday was due to conclusion Of
the brain and surgical shock caused
from a pelvic fracture"
District Attorney David Chavez said
Allen died before statement could
be obtained from him about the crash.
This, he said, would handicap his
investigation, but he was determined
to clear up conflicting details.
He said he hoped to accomplish
this as soon as he could question the
two survivors of the accident, Mrs.
Genevieve Forbes Herrick, Washing
ton newspaper woman, and Ibrahim
Seyfullah, Turkish Legation secretary.
Both were reported out Of immediate
danger.
A black sedan" which Seyfullah
said he believed he saw, and two
other witnesses reported near the
crash scene was one Of the chief
points Chavez was attempting to
clear up.

STEWARD ASSA|LED
BY A. F. c. {. HEADS
Convention President Called
"0bStructioniSt" for Op.
posing Bill.

Luther c. Steward, president of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes, now in convention at Yellow
stone National Park, was charged with
following an obstructionist policy"
against the Sirovich bill In q state
ment issued today by three officers Of
the American Federation Of Govern
ment Employees.
The statement was issued in reply to
Stewards annual address yesterday at
the Yellowstone convention, in which
he criticized the A. F. G. E.. although
not calling the organization by name.
Steward also criticized the Sirovich
bill, an omnibus measure carrying q
number of civil service reforms.
The joint statement was issued by
David r. Glass, national vice presi-
dent, and Charles I. Stengle and Lee
Somers. executive assistants to E.
Claude Babcock, A. F. G. E. president.
Challenge" Accepted.
Luther c. Steward has taken ad-
vantage of his organizations conven-
tion," the statement said, Ito make
attacks on the Sirovich bill and the
American Federation Of Government
Employees which we cannot permit to
go unchallenged.
"As for the Sirovich bill, 1t Is no
secret that he presented an omnibus
bill to Representative Sirovich which
proved so inadequate and unsatisfac-
tory that President Babcock suggested
that Sirovich prepare new bill, which
he did. Thereupon Steward and his
associates followed an obstructionist
policy with respect to this bill-al-
though 1t covered most Of the items
included In his announced legislative
program. Government employees who
are familiar with the situation know
where to place the blame for delays
in bringing their hopes to realization" F."
Membership Doubted.
The joint statement also questioned
the National Federation's membership
claims, asserting President Steward
and Miss Gertrude McNally. secretary
treasurer, have not agreed on the fig
ure, the former claiming $4,000 and
the latter only 44,36S.
THE American Federation Of Gov
ernment Employees is eager to promote
Government employe legislation, no
matter who sponsors 1t, and for that
reason President Babcock Endorsed the
Logan bill, sponsored by Stewards
organization, and our federation sup
ported it before a congressional com.
mittee. We did not consider it
adequate, and do not now, but we
did not oppose it merely for that
reason or because 1t was q Steward
creation"
The two organizations have been
rivals since the National Federation
OF Federal Employees Withdrew from
the American Federation of Labor
and the latter organization helped
to set up the American Federation
Of Government Employees.

TWO GIRLS CLAIM TITLE

PHILADELPHIA, September s.
Promoters of q Philadelphia beauty
contest found themselves in dilemma
when two claimants of the title Miss
Pennsylvania" appeared with con-
testantS for the trip to Atlantic City.
One was Margie Goodwin, II, high
school senior, who was awarded the
title originally in an elimination con-
test. Next day she lost the crown to

When President Roosevelt signed the
Spanish War veterans pension bill
he said: This establishes no ground
of precedent for pensions for the
World Wor group; theirs is an en-
tirely different case" Apparently the
representatives of World War veterans
did not hear him. At least the
v. F. w. crowd, headed by James van
Zandt, is organizing to push for a
uniform pension idea. They figure
that the bonus is already certainty;
that it will be enacted in January.
They are right about that.
Also, enactment Of pension sys-
tenn is only question Of time. It
will not come next year because the
bonus will satisfy the veterans vote
for at least one more election. Most
legislative authorities, however, con-
slider it q certainty within five years.
Prepares Argument.
A prominent union offlcial called at
the 8. Z. G. the other day to get
copies Of the regulation statement Of
the firm whose employees he speaks
for. He wanted to learn something
about the internal financial position
Of the firm so he would be in better
labor bargaining position.
1t seems that the only reason Vice
President Garner is going to Japan
is that the boat on which he booked
passage for the Philippines takes that
route, going and coming. Garner has
no message for the Japanese and no
purpose beyond his Philippine ar
rangements.

Democratic Politicians
Souring OF, Program
of Spending.
BY PAUL MALLON.

LIBERAL New Deal Omclal re-
~ turned recently from q scout
~ ing trip through the East
4 n with the strange news that
even the local Democratic politicians
areagainst the spending program.
His conclusion. which has already
been reported higher up, is that the
political advantages of spending have
been spoiled. Red tape, frequent
changes of plan and the Hopkins
Ickes attitude toward the politicians
are contributing causes.
All down the inside line, similar
talk has been increasing here. II
State, local and county political
authorities join the chorus, some
entirely new arrangement may be
expected.
President Roosevelt told the depart
ing congressional leaders that he
would not have much to submit 10
Congress next session. The implica-
ton was that he is not seriously ap-
prehensive about reverses in the
courts this Fall, that the reform pro-
gram Is temporarily complete, that
election is coming on.
The leaders, however, were not i'm
pressed. They have heard that before.

which contained both praise and con-

Leaders Of organized labor gen.
orally appiauded the social legisla-

new hopes for the future. Admin
