Detroit, Mich, Feb. 8.-(AP)-Near-
ly two hours after they had gathered
for another effort to reach a settle
ment of the General Motors strike, re-
representatives. of both the corporation
and the United Automobile Workers
were still in separate group meetings
today.
A development today was the dis
closure in an informal source that re-
quests by telephone and telegraph
from William Green, American Fed
Grafton of Labor board, for recogni-
ton of the party at interest in the
conferences, had brought a threat
from John L. Lewis, c. l. o. leader,
to Immediately walk out of the meet
ing. The A. F. of L. has suspended G.
I. o. unions.
Green, it was learned, telephoned
Governor Frank Murphy Saturday
and sent him telegram Sunday.
Murphy did not disclose his response,
but it was indicated Green's request
had been rejected.
The expectation was generally that
the conferences here would break
down on the question of collective
bargaining recognition.
An authoritative source said Gen.
eral Motors and union representatives
discussing a settlement of the auto
motive strike with Governor Frank
Murphy, faced crucial session in
their tenth meeting today.
"This will be a very important con-
ference" the spokesman said at may
be the most significant one so far.
Something important may come out
of it,

"Boys," she said II have one more

her in excited anticipation. 1T was
the very first gift mentioned when

Sharing Xmas
With Others
(By Jocile Webb Pearson)

I am a happy little tree. I stand
beside the front entrance Of a
white cottage on a quiet street. Each
Christmas time I bloom out in
beautiful colored lights, and all
who pass share my beauty and
catch something of the joy of
Christmas.
But I was not always happy like
this. Once I lived in a great for
est, surrounded by trees so tall I
could only catch a glimpse of the
blue sky above me, and I felt very
small and lonely. I, too, wanted to
be tall; to look out on the big world
like the others and feel the sun
shining through my branches. I
would stretch out my limbs as far
as could, and send my roots deep
er into the earth, but my progress
was so slow I grew discouraged.
One day I saw a man and a boy
coming through the forest. The
man carried something over his
shoulder and they seemed to be
looking for something. Then the
boy saw me and cried: "Look, faith
er, there is just the tree we want. I"
He ran over to me and fairly hug
ged me in his eagerness. The man
looked me over. Fine" he said.
But when he began digging with
the thing he had carried on his
shoulder 1 began to tremble. I felt
my roots snap one by one and soon
I lay tubled heap on the ground.
Life seemed over for me.
Next I was tied to funny look
ing thing on wheels, that sputtered
! and growled when the man and
boy climbed in and w started off
! down a twisty little road that wound
through the forest, then out on a
big shining highway until we came
to wide driveway that led
through sloping lawn to a white
cottage.
Here I was united and put into a
large earthen jar filled with sand
and carried into the house, and set
in corner of big room besides a
sunny window. Oh, the joy of hav-
ing the sun on my branches. / be-
gan to feel less scared and to look
about me.
In big mirrow opposite ! could

watch the man as he fastened me
upright. Then he put string Of
lights from my top to my toe,
whistling softly as he worked. Then
I heard a door open and rush of
feet-a little boy and girl dashed
into the room crying: Mamma,
come quick. and see our Christmas
tree" They clapped their hands
and danced about me. Soon the
mother came with a box filed with
shining lovely things and my plain
green dress was covered with
sparkling jewels. I hardly dared
look in the mirrow for I remember
ed I was only a humble tree after
all, and what I saw could not be
me at all; but the great silver star
on my topmost branch made me
feel very happy. I seemed to draw
courage from just looking at it.
After a time I was left to my
self. was glad, as ! needed to rest
up bit and get used to my strange
surroundings. It grew dark OUT
side and snow was falling; but in
side my star shone and a quiet
peach came over me.
Then once more the door opened
and merry group of people came
in. This time there were Father
and Grandfather and Grandmother,
too; and Mother leading the little
boys and girls. Everyone was say
ing how lovely I was; but I did
not want them to look at me.
wanted them to see two little faces
outside pressed against the window
pane. The boy saw them first.
Look, Daddy, Mammal" he shout
ed and pointed to the window.
There are two children out there.
Bring them in, Daddy; give them
some of our Christmas" And the
little girl clapped her hands and
cried: ooh, do, Daddy, it's colt out
there!"
When they were brought in look
ing rather scared, but glad, was
so happy / almost shook my baubles
off. Then Mother made music on
big box with shining keys and
everyone sang Christmas carols.
Then Father told the old story of
the Shepherds and the Star that
led to the Christ Child. Then a
jolly man with a red coat and a
pack on his back gave everyone
presents, including the little strang-
ers. There were candies and nuts.
plenty for all, and such babble of
happy voices. felt the thrill Of it
myself and the big star glowed in
sympathy.

The return of the 'lone eagle

tographers aboard their ship as it
docked in New York harbor, hap
pened to spy them as they hurried
off the vessel.
The famous couple left their two
small children, Jon, five and Land,
six months old, in England. They
may be at the Lindbergh estate. n
Their return to, their native land

quite a secret and they avoided
all publicity, in fact they didn't
advise the police in New York.
It has been nearly five years
since their first-born son, Charles,
Jr., was kidnapped, later found
dead, his tiny body decomposed IN
the woods near the home OF his
father. After the worlds greatest
man-hunt, Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann was seized, tried, convicted
