Topic at Meeting in

W the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt gave the first posi-
ton on his calling list today to
Charlton Ogburn, general counsel Of
the American Federation of Labor,
whose executive council has voted to
suspend 10 unions unless they with
draw from the Committee for In
dustrial Organization.
Although the conference offered Mr..
Roosevelt chance to obtain a report
on the bitter struggle threatening to
split the federation, members Of the
White House staff here said the meet
ing had no connection with that in
ternal dispute.
They said Ogburn had requested the
Interview more than month ago.
Even at that time. however, the rift
was widening in the labor organiza-
ton.
A meeting with the President also
vas arranged for Walter w. Van
Kirk. director of the National Peace
Conference, and two associates, James
A. Moffett, former housing admin
istrator, and Mrs. Moffett were in
Yited to luncheon.

picnic supper for close friends. re-
porters, photographers and their wives

tics and relief.
Representative Drewry, Democrat, of
Virginia, and Senator Lewis. Demo-
crat, of Illinois, brought predictions,
as chairmen of the Democratic Con-
gressional and Senatorial Campaign
Committees, that the next Congress
again would have Democratic
majority.
From Mayor F. H. La Guardia Of
New York the President received a
request to expand W. P. A. Job quotas
by about half a million so that the

ployment for all needy, employable

RELATIONS BOARD
ASKS SUIT QUASHED
Seeks Dismissal of Goodyear Ac-
ton in Labor Practices
Complaint.

THE National Labor Relations Board
yesterday asked the District Court to
dismiss the suit brought against it by
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., to
which Justice Jennings Bailey granted
O. preliminary injunction Tuesday.
. The rubber concerns suit asks that
the board be enjoined from holding q
hearing on the unfair labor practices
complaint the board had lodged
against Goodyear growing out of labor
troubles at Akron, Ohio, and Gadsden,
Ala.
In asking dismissal of the suit, the
board followed its established legal
policy of contending that any chal-
lenge of the National Labor Relation
acts constitutionality should be made
in Federal Circuit Court Of Appeals
as provided by the act itself, rather
than in an injunction proceeding.
The act provides that any employer
found guilty by the board of unfair
labor practices may ask the Circuit
Court Of Appeals to review the case.
Throughout all the litigation which
has harrassed it, the board consistently
has insisted that employers follow the
established legal procedure rather than
invoke the jurisdiction of an equity
court.
Hearing on the motion to dismiss
was set for Monday.

gardens are excluded.
The greater number Of these varie-

included the ginkgo tree, which may
be formally addressed as Salisburia

maiden hair tree. It is the oldest
tree in existence, even older than Chi
nese civilization.
A row of 80 ginko trees, all more
than half century old, stands near
the Department of Agriculture and
throughout the city there are many
such trees. BY their fruits you shall
know them, and in the Fall the
ground is strewn with what looks like
persimmons. and if you should crush
this plum-like fruit it smells like
sewer gas. The Chinese call the fruit
