With five days of liberty left,
former Assistant Secretary Of

not decided whether to file peti.
ton with the United States Su-
preme Court for a rehearing Of
the Senate contempt case under
which he was sentenced, or pack
his grip and go to jail to serve his
Today sentence.
The filing Of the petition would
have the effect of delaying his

In the absence Of court action
granting further delay. he is due
to be delivered to jail next Friday.

Money For Airships

I suppose that soon the Navy

If they would take this money
and build a fleet of airplanes
it would be far more sensible.
We can fly planes. The records
show that. But they also show
that dirigibles are doomed.

AS you probably well know.

that the traffic officer has been

It was said that the saloon

nothing.
I believe the State of Virginia

hard liquor is sold only in State

Pointing out that economic

Americas ultimate security rests
IN no small measure upon the
work of her educators in forming

The letter follows in part:
THE social and economic

It Is to provide broad and com.

In all likelihood the Recon

chairman, indicated here today
before the department Of super

''WhiIe. we cannot hope to
come out without any loss, we
have endeavored to administer
the corporation so that there
would be the least possible loss

time meet the many emergen-

The RFC has put more thar
1000 million dollars capital STOCK
in 5000 banks, the chairman ex
planned, and has authorization
for a further investment of ap
proximately $50 million dollars
along the same lines.
Some banks were criticized BY
the RFC head as being too severe
in their demands upon their debt
ors. He said:

DETROIT, Feb. IS G.N.SJ.
The American Federation Of La
Dor, having abandoned the ma

Roosevelt to settle auto industry
disputes, today awaited the reply
of the motor manufacturers for
direct wage and hour negotia-
tons.
In its most momentous action
since the presidents agreement"
was effected a year ago, the A.
F. of L. auto unions have decided
to take their grievances directly
to the employers once more. For
a year the Automobile Labor Board
has stood as a conciliation agency
between the unions and the com
panieS. The new course Of the
unions, if carried to its logical
end, would throw the auto labor
situation back where it was last
March.
The general council of A. F.
of L. auto unions, instructed
William Green, president OF the
federation, to seek immediate
conferences with the employers,

Nobody would predict what
action might be taken if the
companies refuse to negotiate
directly with Mr.. Green.

Organized Labor
Will Not Support
Roosevelt Board

WASHINGTON, Jan. rs. (UP)
Organized labor has withdrawn
from support of the automobile
labor relations board, the agency
upon which President Roosevelt
pinned his hopes of maintaining
peace in one of the nations chief
industries.
The board was appointed by
Mr.. Roosevelt more than year
ago when the White House was
called in to prevent a strike of
automobile workers. 1t is headed
by DR.. Leo Wolman.
The action of the union work
ers, announced here last night oy
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor, oc-
casioned no surprise.
Trade unionists have been dls-
satisfied with Wolman and his col
leagues for several months, insist
ing that the board had failed TO
take proper action in many cases
vital to the protection of workers.
Green said that the automobile
settlement of last March 25 which
was arranged by the President was
for no fixed duration. He said that
the federation's legal counsel ad-
vised that withdrawal from the
settlement was effected by giving
notice to the President and the
automobile manufacturers. Such
notice was given, he said.
