It's a general opinion of the
hinterlands that Hollywood is a
town of wild parties and all-night
hangers-on; but to filmdom's front

a 9 o'clock town.

capital is the center of ribald bac-

TOLEDO, Ohio, April "a. U.P)-
Peaceful picketing of the Toledo

in the entire automobile industry.
Company officials Kept the plant
closed during the walkout, involv-

Officers of the United Automo-

that the closed shop was an issue
in the controversy.
An earlier statement attributed
to Alfred P. Sloan, Sr., president
Of General Motors, had said
closed shop agreement was the vital
question involved. Fred Schwake,
business agent of the union, said
the workers were demanding in
creased wages, seniority rights, elm
ination of the "speed up' system
on the assembly line and union
recognition, but not a closed shop.
Actual union strength in the

Company officials told non-union-
lists to go home as the plant would
not be operated.
Officials of General Motors cor
poration, parent concern, said the
company had made counter pro-
posals which the union strike COM
mittee had refused to submit to the
membership for approval. They
added that they declined to negoti-
ate toward ending the strike until
the counter proposals had been
acted upon.
Unionists, at a mass meeting last
night, decided to picket the plant
"a hours daily for 1.-THE next two
weeks or more.''

of Andrew Macy, president of the
state board of barber examiners,
and o. E. Martin, director of the
board, who are also making a re-

Thousands of California citi-

which the state takes to protect
their health through the regula-

stated today.
Members of the board and all
working under them, are continu-

state, checking up on BARRIERS and

The state insists, for instance, that

will not permit.
"The law also requires that q

are doing all In their power to aid
in lowering the accident rate and
to bring to motorists a knowledge
of the rules of correct driving,
Frank Oswalt, captain of the pa

In addition to this over 900 warn

were for defective headlights or
other lights on cars and make it
necessary for the car owners to

soon as possible. In five days of
last week another officer made
four arrests for major violations;
issued 80 light cards; gave % warm

CONGRESS NOT
BEING LASHED
BY n 7
Politicians Wondering About
Changed Attitude Observed
Toward Solons
BY LYLE c. WILSON
nited Press Staff Correspondent

OIuieu fTeSS SCaII correspondent
WASHINGTON, April "a. - Pres
ident Roosevelt has SO far abandon
ed his so-called dictatorial way
with congress that politicians are
looking around for a reason for the
change.
Mr.. Roosevelt may have shifted
his congressional strategy to pro-
tect the administration against
charges of dictatorship or to per-
nit legislators to prove they are
not "new deal" rubber stamps.
Some observers believe Mr.. Roose-
velt merely is recognizing that this
congress is not safely secured to
"new deal" detectives and if ham
died roughly might break away in
a general bolt.
Speaker Joseph w. Byrns has
noticed the White House change.
"The President is not as active
as last year in these legislative
matterS,' ByrnS explains. "There
was urgency then to pass half a
different. This idea that the Pres
ident gets all leaders down to the
White House before breakfast to
give them daily orders is mistak-
en-. -
In contrast with the 100-day Spe-
cial session in 1888, this congress is
being permitted to develop some Of
its own legislative ideas. At least
that is the surface picture of things
on Capitol Hill. Actually the White
House is plugging every day for the
comparatively radical legislative
program which awaits enactment.
But either by choice or necessity,
Mr.. Roosevelt is dealing gently
with congress in his public utter
ances.
No new understanding between
congress and White House could ac-
count for Mr.. Roosevelt IS reluct-
ance to crack his bull whip over
the capitol dome. This congress,
in fact, has plagued the President
by delaying and changing his bills
The rs days required to enact the
works relief bill which Mr. Roose-
velt wanted in a fortnight are the
best evidence that legislative and
executive branches have not been
pulling together.

FEAR CONTROL OF PRESS

NEW YORK, April "a W.D-- The
proposal now before congress to
continue the national industrial re-
covery act after its expiration date,
June 16, 1895, is "a direct and
deliberate effort to impose federal
regulation upon all business" the
newspaper code committee reported
today to the American Newspaper
Publishers association.
The annual report of the COM
mittee, submitted by Chairman
Howard Davis, charged the pro-
posed NRA bill and the Wagner
labor bill both seek "to evade the
fourth amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States which pro-
hibits fishing expeditions into ones
private affairs"
Such expeditions" the code
committee said, have only recently
been condemned by the United
States supreme court in an opinion
by the late Justice Holmes to which
there was no dissent"
The report charged that both
measures would place all labor rela-
tions under the supervision and con-
troll of politically appointed agencies
of the government; that both would
subject employers to the decisions of
these agencies; that neither meas
ure places any other obligation on
employees or employee organizations
to comply with such decisions.
Acceptance by publishers Of this
measure in its present form would
place regulatory control over the
press in the hands of the govern
ment," the report added.
Infer Resistance
I'm your committees opinion, the
pending measure offers no possi-
bility for such a vehicle of coopera-
ton Gas the present code) in the
future. Should this bill be enacted
as it now stands, your committee
cannot recommend further volun-
tary assent to any code. And it
would have to recommend resistance
by publishers to any effort to i'm
pose code on daily newspaper pub
lishers."
Condemnation by inference OF
Senator Huey Longs alleged at
tempts to throttle the Louisiana
press antagonists to his government
was sought in one of three resolu-
tions presented by the committee on
freedom of the press, and passed
unanimously by the more than 500
delegates.
The resolution, presented by
Chairman Robert r. Mccormick.
publisher of the Chicago Tribune.

Resolved: That the American
Newspapers Publishers association in
convention assembled, express its
thanks to the publishers Of Louis
lana for their resolute and success
full opposition to the insidious and

form of Louisiana government as
guaranteed by the Constitution OF
the United States, which attack
sought, under the guise of a general
tax, to throttle and destroy those
newspapers that dared to criticise
