Commenting that Williams promo
ton comes in for criticism by the
enemies of President Roosevelt's pro-
posal to make some changes in our
Federal judicial set-up," Thomas said
in a statement:
Having known Judge Williams in
timately for more than 80 years. ]
Endorsed him for promotion to the
Federal Circuit Court.
In frequent conversations. Judge
Williams advised me of his desire to
retire at the age of 10, and desiring To
see him promoted to the Circuit Court
prior to retirement suggested to the
judge the advisability of writing At
torney General Cummings direct. stat
ing that in the event he was promoted
that it would be agreeable for him to
retire at the age of 10 years.
Il am convinced that this promo
ton is In the public interest. One
vacancy exists in the Tenth Circuit
Court at this time. One of the sitting
justices is i'll and hence the vacancy
should be filled with judge who can
enter the court and begin efficient
work at once. Judge Williams fills
this requirement"
Senator Lee, Democrat, OF Okla

entire Oklahoma House delegation in
indorsing Williams, termed "ridicu-

Roosevelt and Group
of Friends.
BY J, RUSSELL YOUNG.

A tanned President arrived back in
Washington today after his tWo-Week

President Roosevelt's special train
pulled into Union Station at II O'Clock
and few minutes later he was on his
wav to the White House looking the
picture of health and giving every
evidence of having been benefited by
his rest in the hilly pine tree section
of Georgia He had smile of conf
dence as he waved to group Of
friends at the station and indicated
he is ready to tackle the many prob
lens awaiting him.
The President was met at the sta
ton by Mrs. Roosevelt, who was at
tired in riding habit with long
blue cape over her shoulders. She
was accompanied by 5-year-old Billy
Donner Roosevelt, eldest son of Elliott
Roosevelt; Vice President and Mrs
Garner, Secretary of State Hull end
Attorney General Cummings.
This group was received by the
President aboard his train. where they
exchanged greetings and talked few
minutes before starting for the White
House.
The much-traveled President plans
to spend only a month here before he
leaves on another trip which will give

fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. He
will leave Washington the last week
in April for New Orleans. where the

generals in opposing camps comment
ed after yesterdays sessions.
Both were prepared to leave for New
York tonight and to return if neces-
sary. Gov. Murphy reiterated that
the conference will continue until
settlement is reached
The Governor. wearied by long
hours and worn by heavy cold used
the overnight recess to confer with
James F.. Dewey. Federal labor con-
clliator, on further strategy in the
struggle for an agreement. The goal
was the return to jobs of more than
$4,000 Chrysler employees, 10000 Briggs
body plant workers dependent on the
Chrysler demand, and an undeter-
mined number of other wage earners
similarly dependent.
Murphy was known to regard set
tlement OF the Chrysler deadlock as
certain to smooth the way to agree
ment in two other motor strikes
the Hudson dispute at Detroit, with
more than 10000 idle, and the REQ
Motor Car Co. strike here, with 1900
out of work.
Extent of recognition has been the
stumbling block in all three disputes,
as it was in the General Motors Corp
strike which ended February IL after
A days. The first Of the automotive
big three to feel the "sit-down"
paralysis, General Motors resumed
production after compromising on that
point and pending final settlement.
which came just two weeks ago.
Observers believed Chrysler, too.
would resume production after agree
ment on recognition, with negotia-
tions On other points following.
Industrial disputes have cut heavily
into the States major industry and
one of the three most important in
the Nation since the first of the year
a year holding prospects of nearing
record production.
The General Motors strike threw
125 900 employees out OF work and ad-
ditional thousands were made idle by
the resultant loss Of demand. A little
more than three weeks after that tie
up ended the Chrysler and Hudson
strikes began ON the same day, fol-
lowed shortly by the REQ sit-down.
"Spontaneous" Sit-Downs.
General Motors production has been
interrupted 20 times since the Febru-
ary II agreement by spontaneous"
sit-down strikes, but none extended
beyond day. One occurred yesterday
in the Chevrolet small parts plant at
Bay City, Mich.
1t ended after less than two hours
with an agreement to negotiate the
differences next week. The plant en-
ploys 1900 persons.
Approximately 10000 automotive
workers are idle now in Detroit alone
Surveys indicated this has affected
retail business there and relief off,
cials reported a sharp rise in the
rate of-ne applications.
Unlike the General Motors strike
nearly all Of the automotive strike idle
are concentrated in Detroit.
The Chrysler situation advanced
notably toward peace with evacuation
by "sit-downers" OF eight plants
Thursday. State police took charge OF
the gates when strikers left and the
plants were opened to clerical and Ger
tain other employees not concerned
with production. One result of the
evacuation will be the distribution OF
81 100000 in back salaries.

SUPREME JUDGES
| CONFER SECRETLY
May Be Prelude to Ruling
on Wagner Labor Act
Monday.

BY the Associated Press.
The weekly secret conference Of the
Supreme Court justices furnished a
prelude today to possible decision
Monday on constitutionality OF the
hotly disputed Wagner labor relations
act
The nine justices at their regular
Saturday meetings discuss pending
litigation and agree on what to do
about it. No announcement Is made
after the conference.
Wagner Ruling Most Important.
The ruling on the Wagner act,
which guarantees collective bargain
ing to workmen, probably will be the
courts major pronouncement this
term. Senator Robinson, the Demo-
cratic leader, has said the opinion is
expected to furnish the key to the
administration policy on the current
sit-down strikes.
Some observers who expect the tri-
bunal will announce the decision on
Monday based their opinion on the
fact the court has been in recess dur
ing the last two weeks. This per-
mitted the justices to devote their
time to preparing opinions.
Separate Opinions Possible.
Others, however, pointed out that
the legal questions involved might be
extremely complex and difficulty might
be encountered in reaching an agree
| ment among the nine members. They
also said a separate opinion In each
of the five cases involving the act
might be required.
The Wagner legislation gives labor
organization the right, when 1t has a
majority, to select representatives to
negotiate with employers on wages
