Scotching reports that new ne
gotiations are under way to com
promise his differences with the
American Federation Of Labor
John L. Lewis, said today his
Committee for Industrial Organi
zation will continue its drive to
organize workers in the steel, rub
Der, automobile and other mass
production industries along indus
trial lines.
At a press conference Lewis
cleared the air Of current rumorS
of negotiations for a settlement Of
his controversy with William
Green, A. F. Of L. president.
Attitude Remains Same
He said:
''NO one from the A. F. Of L.
has approached us. We have not
gone to them. Our attitude re-
mains the same.
81 see william Green's heart
is pulsating with o desire for
peace. II he wants peace all he
has to do is to have the executive
council Of the A. F. Of L. reScind
it's order suspending us.
1--WE are going ahead with our
plans to organize the steel work
erS, and other mass production
industries, along industrial lines.
We would like to 80 ahead with
the Federation in an effort to Or
xanize the workers, but If they
don't come along well proceed
alone"
Blames Rift on Green
Lewis blamed the Federation
rift on Green. He said:
81 offered Green q plan for
settlement of this dispute, but
he would not or could not accept
1t. The C. /. o. offered the A. F.
Of L. $4,000 IL the A. F. Of L.
would put up $1,OOO,OOO. With
this fund we wanted them to go
ahead with the industrial Or
SanixatiOn Of workers in certain
industries. But they did mot
want to do this"
The Lewis press conference was
prompted by an address of David
Dubinsky, president of the Inter
national Ladies Garment Work
erS, before the New York conven'
ton of the cap and millinery de
partment of the United HatterS.
Cap and Millinery workers Union,
Dubinsky said the c. I. o. might

Lining up with Alfred E. Smith,
Gen. Hugh S. johnson today had
advocated a return to the 1882
Democratic platform which has
never been tried"
The former MIRA chief attacked
the Townsend old-age pension
plan as Impractical, impossible
and absurd"
Johnson's remarks were made
during a debate with DR.. Clifton
Wunder, former Townsend or
ganizer, before 2,100 at Boston
Garden. He was booed at first,
but by the end Of his speech the
audience was clamoring for him
to continue beyond his allotted
time.
"Robbing Peter to pay Paul"
was the way johnson described
the plan of 2 per cent tax on
business to pay 5000 monthly to
persons IS and older. He said:

an obstacle to progress. 1t is

Governor Landon charged the
Roosevelt Administration with
"abySmal waste through changes
Of policy, maladministration and
ruthless partiSanship."
Costs Eat Up Relief Funds
Declaring that relief appro.
priations had been ample but
funds had been eaten up by
Administration costs, he pleaded:
1--WE need desperately a
cheaper, simpler and more re-
spOnSible relief administration
throughout the union"
Governor Landon declared relief
funds are handled in familiar
'pork-barrel' fashion" permitting
"a party machine to spend the
greatest peace-time fund in all HUI
man history" He said:
." If there is to be no hun
ger, it is imperative. admins
tratiOn of relief be purged OF
waste and partiSanship."
He added:
"Clinching proof Of the New
Deals failure is that almost as
many persons are out of work
today as there were when it first
set up shop in 1888.
"The key to permanent stabil-
ity is not bOOndoggling, but
permanent jobs with the labOrer
worthy of his hire"
The problem of unemployment
and old age pensions will be
solved, he said, despite recent
well intended but utterly unwork-
able, hastily thrown together,
makeShift legislation"
Years to "Unscramble"
Governor Landon charged the
brain trust" with fuzzy think
ing, unorderly procedure, confu-
sion, reversal of policies, haphaz-
ard administration, pickering and
repeated delay. He asserted:
1--WE are going to be many
years unscrambling the eggs
cooked up by the kitchen cab
met of this Administration.
One of the greatest failings of
these cooks was that they were
unable to tell the bad eggs from
the good. The result has been
Indigestion for all of u.s."
The solution Of the farm prob
lem lies, he said, in the proper
application of soil conservation
principles, a higher tariff, flood
control, lower interest rates as
collateral aids, greater industrial
use of farm products, the re-
building of foreign markets and
lower taxes.
"New Deal Chaff"
Declaring that the "hysterical
tone of government must be
eliminated" and that "the good
wheat must be separated from

House leaders today approved
a proposed Congressional investi-
CATION Of the Townsend $200-a-
month old-age pension movement.
Unless the investigation pro-
posal is blocked by the Townsend
forces a special committee will be
created to inquire into the
finances and other phases Of the
Townsend campaign.
Representative Bell CD of Mis-
souri,, after consulting members
in the leadership council. intro
duced the resolution providing for
the inquiry. 1t was referred to
the House Rules Committee.
Backed BY O'COnnOr
Early consideration of the pro
posal was promised by Chairman
O'Connor CD of New York, OF
the Rules Committee, who ap-
proved the Bell resolution, Rep
resentative Bell said:
ST believe we have . fair
chance for action. The reports
concerning the Townsend plan
and other schemes for aid to
the aged and charges that the
pension movement Is n racket
and that huge sums Of money
have been collected which have
gone for other purposes, war

The threat OF DR.. F. E. Town
send, who heads the $200-a-month
movement, to defeat members Of
Congress who refuse to pledge
their aid, has aroused counter
drive in the House.
Denounced by Lea
The scheme of DR.. Townsend
has been aSsailed as visionary, and
charges have been made that huge
sums OF money have been col
lected. Some reports put collec-
tions of the Townsend group at
500, 900 a month.
Despite the almost solid backing
given the Townsend plan by the
California congressional delega-
ton, Representative Clarence Lea
Of that State denounced the
scheme as visionary.
House leaders have precedent
for inquiring into the finances Of
the Townsend group. A few years
ago the House investigated and
temporarily halted an old-age pen
sion movement led by DR.. ]. E.
Pope because he was collecting
funds from aged people.

Superstitious Fans Say
Jockey Was Warned

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 11.-Fol-
l Y lowers of the track said young
Homer Spears def1ed every sign"
before he was fatally injured in q
tangle of horses and riders at a
Fairgrounds course here.
Three other riders were hurt in
the accident late yesterday, among
them Francis Polk, was in critical
condition today.
Spears, IS, and a likely apprentice
jockey, apparently tried to steer
Enola through knot of horses at
the turn into the home stretch.
Witnesses said his mount struck the
heels of Pish Tush. Enola went
down. Insomnia, ridden by Chuck
Parke, crashed into the spraWled
horse and Immediately Portam and
Smooth went floundering.
One Horse Destroyed
Insomnia, valued at $500, broke
a leg and was shot. Polk, aboard
Smooth, was carried away with
Spears. He was internally injured.
Joe Donoho, on Portam, and Parke
escaped with minor hurts. Spears.
from Cleveland, died in a hospital.
His foster father and his mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. Barney .Weatz, saw
the crack-up. 1t occurred in the
fifth race.
Spears dropped and broke a
framed photograph of himself be-
fore the race, his mother said. He
laughed aside her warning it meant
a foreboding of death. In the third
race, his mother scarcely breathed
until Spears finished safely on Die
Hard.
At Arlington Downs, Texas, sew
eral weeks ago Spears was in an
accident and his horse was killed
under him.

An ordinary wave can now be made
to stay a long time! It isn't any
trouble at all; in fact, saves time,
worry. and expense. Here is the way
that it works:
After a wave, when you arrange
your hair, use your Danderine spray
before brushing or combing. Then
when every lock is just as you want
it, another light spray will "set" it.
This fine mist of Danderine, too light
to be felt or seen, is the last touch and
the last thought you need give your
hair the rest of the day! 1t stays
gloriously in place, and it stays in
wave. Day after day, you can do this.
If you have any dandruff. this in
genious spray carries medication to
every pore in the scalp-where any
dandruff begins.
Tell your druggist to show you the
beautiful new Danderine Spray. The
price is seventy-fve cents, and it
should save you seven dollars in
