BITTER CONFLICTS
CONFRONT CONGRESS
IN NRA EXTENSION
Fiercest Struggle Will Center
Around Controversial
Section IA

Washington, Feb. Il. - R - As
President Roosevelt's recommends
ton for q two-year extension Of NRA
headed Thursday straight into leg
islative situation bearing all the signs
Of bitter controversy, observers Won
dered whether the fights would be
over much before June, when the
present recovery act expires.
Arrayed for the skirmishing were
the forces Of industry. union labor
and those who accuse MIRA Of foster
ing monopoly" They were all ready
to press their demands.
There was no doubt at all In the
minds Of legislators that one Of the
fiercest struggles probably would rage
around section IA = the collective
bargaining provision. They noted
that President Roosevelt simply called
for protection Of "the right Of en-
ployes freely to organize for the pur-
pose Of collective bargaining" and did
not disclose whether he desires the
section changed or continued as
it Is.
Senator Wagner Dem., N. ". who
holds that the recovery act has failed
to gain some of the ends expected
OF it. planned to introduce Thursday
his revised labor disputes bill. There
have been repeated reports that it
would provide majority rule in COL
lectivc bargaining, principle vigor-
ously opposed by many industrislists
and would seek to prohibit what labor
leaders call company unions"
Donald Richberg, director Of the
national emergency council, said re-
vision Of section IA was = matter en-
ttrely for congress to decide. but he
expressed the personal opinion that
the section was adequate.
The American Federation Of Labor
and others are striving to obtain
enactment Of the Black 30-hour week
bill. fought by industrial and business
leaders and frowned upon by high adj
ministration Officials.
The senate finance committee
which will draft the bill for the New
NRA, expects to make an investiga-
ton into the Blue Eagle and the adj
ministration Of codes. It approved
Wednesday the Nye-McCarran reso-
luton for such an investigation,
which was prompted by allegations
that small business Is being oppressed.

His assertion came as the present
defense staff prepared to gather in

SENATOR GLASS TO
LAUNCH Fight FOR
$50 SECURITY WAGE
Byrd (D-va.) Asks Appropria-
ton Slashed by Three Bill
lions to $3.50, 100000

Washington. Feb. 21.-tR)- Senator
Glass D.-Va.) unlimbered his guns
for action Thursday in the fierce
struggle over the Roosevelt admin
istration's $3.50, 000,O 900 work and re-
lief bill.
Though there was no advance word
as to Just what he would say on the
measure in general, Roosevelt lead
crs counted on him to rally strength
behind the $5O-a-month security
wages" which administration officials
propose.
The leaders see the fight over vases
as the biggest obstacle to their drive
to get the bill through the senate
without major changes. Some Of them
were frankly worried Is the senate
headed toward q vote on the amend
ment. proposed by Senator McCarran
CD.-Nev.), to require that relief work
ers be paid wage rates prevailing In
private industry.
The promised speech by Glass was
awaited the more eagerly because he
once expressed resentment at not hav-
ing been consulted by Mr.. Roosevelt
regarding the work-relief measure.
Later, when the program encoun-
tered difficulties before the senate
appropriations committee, Of which
Glass IS chairman, he said he had
been authorized to deliver message
from the president to the committee.
The bill finally emerged from the
committee In q form considered &C.
ceptable by administration leaders.
Before taking the floor in the work.
relief debate, the Virginian told re.
porters he would talk on "other
things" as well as the prevailing wage
amendment.
Observers were trying to assess the
consequences Of the blow aimed ct the
1850. O00. 900 measure Wednesday by
Glass colleague. Senator Byrd (Dem.

down to $3.50 O00. 900.

ACCUSED
OF WAR AMBITIONS
BY SOVIET RUSSIA
U. s. S. r. Lined Up With
France and Britain to Face
Maxi Adherence to Pact

Moscow, Feb. 21.-(P)-T1e official
organs Of Soviet opinion upbraided
Germany Thursday with accusations
of plans for aggression In both eastern
and central Europe.
On the heels Of the approval Of the
London agreements extended BY
Maxim Litvinoff, commissar for for
eign affairs, on the condition they are
made effective in their entirety, the
authoritative press pictured the Mails
as hungry for war under the disguise
Of diplomatic chattering."
General display was given charges
by the Czechoslovakian newspaper
Narodni Politika that Japan. Ger
many and Poland were preparing for
war against the Soviet union. The
influential Pravda and lzvestia, how
ever, concentrated their attacks on
Germany with incidental jibes at
England.
Soviet Russia has lined with France
and Great Britain in an effort to
obtain from Germany unqualified
adherence to the principles Of the
London agreements.
The communications explicitly set
forth that Soviet support for the Lon
don program Is conditioned by insist
ence that 1t shall be carried out In
full.
This attitude conforms exactly with
that taken by both Great Britain
and France in the face Of Reicls-
fuehrer Hitler's intimati0n that he
would prefer to consider the proposed
defense air alliance separately.
Litvinoff's notes stressed particu-
larly the necessity for regional Sc
curity pacts if the peace OF Europe is
to be maintained. His emphasis on
this point was aimed directly at Ger
man aloofness from the proposed
eastern Locarno pact which France
has sponsored and Russia heartily
