DETROIT, March 13 QN.S0.
Judge Allan Campbell announced
IN circuit court this afternoon
that he will rule Monday on the
petition of Chrysler corporation
for an injunction eVicting stay
in strikers from its eight plants
which they now hold.
The judge listened for four
hours to an argument by Attor-
ney Maurice Sugar, counsel for
the United Automobile Workers
union, in which he vigorously op-
posed the issuance Of the injunc-
tion.
A great labor demonstration,
participated in by fully 5000
union men and their sympathlz-
ers, was held in and near the
county building while the injunc'
ton hearing was in session.
In opposing issuance OF the writ,
Attorney Sugar contended the
Chrysler Corporation did not come
into court with "clean hands"
He alleged ChrySler had violated
the provisions Of the Wagner act
for several years.
Charge Labor Spies
He charged ChrySler employed
labor spies; that it discharged
workers solely because of their
union affiliation and that it
formed a works council union in
direct violation Of the national
labor act.
Attorney Thomas Chawke for
Chrysler declared, on the other
hand, that:
There is just a simple issue
invOlved-that Of unlawful posi-
ton"
Governor Frank Murphy, mean
while was trying to bring order
out of the chaos which the rash
of "sit-doWn" strikes has created.
The governors first step in his
"industrial peace" campaign was
a conference with unior leaders
at a downtown hotel. 1t was pri-
Vate.
Governor Murphy later con-
ferred with officials of the Crow
ley-Milner Company, second largest
department store in Detroit, which
is closed by one Of the "sit-down"
strikes.
Plans Parley
The governor is planning great
round table conference to be par
ticipated in by civic leaders, en-
ployers and representatives Of
labor.
It cannot be held Monday or
Tuesday. the Governor explained,
because officers of the United Al
tomobile Workers will then be in
Cleveland attending a session Of
their executive board.

BATTLE LOOMS
0NEDWARD'S
'UPKEEP'
London Awaits Fiqht
Over Move to Keep
Duke on Pension
BY DAVID P. sENTNER

LONDON, March 13 QN.SD L.
The secret session of the parlia
mentary select committee, dealing
with financial support of Britains
monarchy, will be marked next
week by heated debate over a move
to keep the Duke of Windsor on
virtual pension from the royal
family.
This move is to be made instead
Of granting him public annuity
from the civil list, according to
belief in parliamentary quarters
today.
David Lloyd George, wartime
prime minister, and winston
Churchill, who will be members
of the committee when it is
formed Wednesday, have taken
command of the forces urging
that the Dukes past services to
the nation should be recognized
publicly in the form of a state
pension.
Both are expected to wage
their battle within the select
committee and angry words are
expected to develop between
them and the Laborite represen-
tatives, who are flatly opposed
to any state pension.
1t is understood both Churchill
and Lloyd George will insist it is
the height of .n9ratitude to make
no provision for Edward and will
assert Parliament ought to be
ashamed of such shabby treat
ment."
Prime Minister Stanley Bald
win, however, is expected to point
out it is not a question of ingrati-
tude, but political eXpediency,
since state pension would neces-
state inclusion OF Edwards name
on the civil list
This would permit debate in
Parliament and might reopen the
whole case of the abdication,
which the government considers
would be an extremely unWiSe
course at present in view Of the
approaching coronation of King
George VI.
ENzESFELD, Austria, March 13
G.N.S).-Lord Louis Mountbatten,
guest for several days of the Duke
of Windsor at the Rothschild
Chateau here, left for Paris by
airplane today carrying an impor-
tant letter from the Duke to Mrs.
Wallis Warfield Simpson.
The Duke is supposed to leave
Enzesfeld for an unknown deStina-
tion next week. Whether he plans
to meet Mrs. Simpson for Easter
could not be learned.

0USTED 'PUTZI'

j. S.HAVEN
of Hitler Takes
Up Voluntary Exile
From Reich

BERLIN, March 13 G.N.S0.
DR.. Ernest (PutzD Hanfstaengl,
Harvard graduate, one-time head
of the Nazi press bureau and once
a confidante of Adolf Hitler, has
crossed the frontier into voluntary
exile" and may take up residence
in the United States, it was learned
today.
Circumstances Of HanfstaenEl's
sudden departure remained secret.
The gay, piano-playing "Putzi," !"
who once was virtual court musi-
clan" to the Hitler regime, left the
Reich shorn of his official title of
press chief following a stormy eli
max of an undisclosed nature. He
incurred disfavor because he pro-
duced two motion pictures banned
because of their political texture.
May Come to U. s.
1t was understood Hanfstaengl
has influential friends in the
United States who are attempt
ing to arrange his return there.
Meanwhile, intimation that
the Nazi press attacks upon
American persons and inStitu.
tions, which resulted in a stern
diplomatic protest from Wash
ington, were in reprisal for
American newspaper criticism of
NaZi policies, was given by the
semi-official news agency.
Conversation Noted
In a purported summary OF
the conversation between United
States Ambassador William E.
Dodd and German Foreign Sec
retary Baron Constantin Won
Neurath over the anti-American
attacks by the Nazi press, which
followed New York Mayor La
Guardia's suggestion that Hitler
be includeded in a chamber of
horrors" at the New York Worlds
Fair, the agency said:
According to information in
political circles, the diplomat
was told LaGuardia'S insults
were bound to have caused gen.
eral resentment in Germany
and that if the tenor of indi-
vidual papers tranSgresSed GER
tain limits, this was due to such
resentment.
"The German press never had
any intention of insulting the
American nation, DOdd was
told. 1t was understood, more
over, attention Of the American
diplomat was called to the mali
ciOuS and untruthful comments
by the American press on Ger
man problems"

MADRID, March 13 GN.S).
SpaniSh-Italian armies, speedily
advancing on Guadalajara, today
called up immense reserve strength
for the big offensive to cut off
Madrid. A loyalist communique
said:
"Insurgent attacks on Guada-
lajara continue with increasing
violence. Large reserves of in
surgentS and munitions were
thrown into the battle yeSter-
day and this morning"
This was the first Madrid Off
cial announcement which did not
claim the loyalists had stopped the
inSurgent advance, which has so
lar brought the insurgents Wltn1n
six miles of Guadalajara.
Meanwhile, large numbers were
arrested, including 81 suspected
ring leaders, following discovery
in Madrid of a Widespl espion-
age organization accused of plot

HIGH PAID JOBS
PROVIDED IN
COAL BILL
Provisions for 'PIums'
Disregard Presi-
dents Hostility
BY EARL GOODWIN


Seven members of a National
Bituminous Coal Commission at
$4,000 each, plus one more $10s
900 job as consumers counsel"
with an unlimited number Of exc
perts and attorneys are provided
for in the Guffey-Vinson coal bill
which has passed the House-and
the striking thing about it is that
the bill diSregards all the Presis
dents recently expressed ideas as
to commissions and civil service.
Observers here felt that when
the President so feelingly ex.
planned the recent Brownlow re.
port before it went to Congress,
that he sounded the death knell Of
large Government commissions,
man, of them built up exclusively
for the benefit of the old time
lame duck" politician. The seven
10,000-a-year commissioners. and
the one $10,000-a-year counsel
have been approved by the House
in the face Of the Brownlow re.
ports stringent assault on the
very idea Of commissions, which
had the Presidents approval.
Fears of Disaster
In that report it is said:
owe have watched the growth
Of boards and commissions
transform the executive
branches of our State govern
ments into grOteSque aggI0mera-
tiOns of Independent and IRE
SponsibIe units, begged by the
weight Of the whole crazy struc-
ture. The same tendency in ma
tiOnal administration will bring
the same disastrous results
That tendency Ould be
stopped"
The coal commission, it should
be realized, is not outside the de.
partments but is within the De.
partment of the Interior: yet the
President is to appoint the seven
$10,000-a-year members, as well as
the $4,000 counsel; all appoint.
ments of course to be approved BY
the Senate.
Large numbers Of experts, at
torneys and special agents. With
out limit, or as the bill specifies as
many las the commission may re.
quire," are to be appointed with.
out regard to the Civil Service
The BrownloW report, sent 20 Con"
gresS by the President, strongly
recommended that all jobs not in
the policy making class be in
cluded in the Civil Service.
Point Made in Debate
To carry out the Brownlow re-
port recommendation literally
Congress should have provided
that the commissioners be selected
in accordance with the Civil Serv'
ice rules and not be selected by
the President.
This point was made by Repre-
sentative Mapes (R0, of Michigan,
in debating the bill before it
passed the House without any de-
Walton as far as the patronage
features are concerned.
That it is perfectly feasible to
select attorneys and experts
through the Civil Service was
stated by Chairman Ramspeck, of
the Civil Service Committee Of the
House, in debating the coal com.
mission bill.
Representative Ramspeck said
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the Veterans Admin.
istration and a number of other
agencies select their attorneys
and their other ployeG
through the Civil Service with
satisfactory results. The Social
Security Board. however, was al
lowed an exception; it's experts
and attorneys are not under Civil
Service, just as the House voted
for in the case Of the coal com.
mission. Chairman Ramspeck did
not approve Of the situation in
the Social Security Board.
