The rival committee for industrial
organization headed by John l..
Lewis, has already signified It's
approval.
Some federation leaders said
they believed the measure would
do little to benefit the bulk of the
membership. Traditional A. F. OF
L., support has been for wage and
hour regulations for women and
children and for workers in few
".sweated" industries.
Standard Board
The present bill calls for Great
ion of a five-man labor standards
board which would make blanket
authority to administer maxi
mum hour and minimum wage
standards set by congress as well
as 70 ban entry or sale in inter-
state markets Of goods manufac-
tured by children under l6 or IN
violation of working condition
levels fixed under the bill.
Some economists said that fix
alton of hour and wage levels
would probably benefit, for the
mos'S part, underpaid workers in
mass production industries where
unemployment is worst. Mr..
Roosevelt said in his message
proposing the bill that he hopes
it would accelerate re-employ-
ment in such fields.

King Alfonso Is Delayed
by Counts Condition

Havana, May 26.-UD The
Count of Covadonga is in grave
condition because of a recurrence
of a chronic ailment complicated
by hemophelia, and his plans to
marry Marta Rocafort, Havana
beauty, have been delayed, it was
learned today.
Jose Sanchez Arcilla, Havana
journalist and spokesman for the
count, said the former heir to the
Spanish chrome suffered an in
tense internal hemmorhage yes
terday. He was. given a blood
TRANSMISSION last night"
1t was the fourth time in less
than 18 months the count has
been stricken. On one occasion he
was in New York where his moth
er, former Queen Victoria of Spain,
visited him.
The 3O-year- old Spanish prince,
who was divorced here May s by
the former Edelmira Sampedro OF
Havana, was reported sleeping at
p p. m. Arcilla said, however. his
condition was not satisfactory and
his physicians feared repetition OF
the internal hemmorhage.
THE recent declarations by the
counts father, in which former
King Alfonso XIII announced he
had severed all relations with
his son, strongly affected the
counts condition." Arcilla said.
THE count has tried fruitlessly
to communicate with Alfonso but
he fears his fathers friends are
preventing delivery of the mes
sage advising him of this latest
illness. Otherwise, the count be-
lieves the former king would re-
ply immcdia e,. due to the grav-
ity of thl v....S condition"
Arcilla said : orita Rocafort,
at whose home the count is Ill,
was constantly at the bedside OF
her fiance. Arcilla emphasized,
however, that no plans for a bed
side marriage were contemplated
at present. The count and Marta
had expected to be married soon.

ment, majority leader Joe T. Rob-
inson, D., Ark, appealed to SEN
ate standing committees during
28-minute session of the chamber
today to expedite action on pend
ing bills so that they may be dis
posed of promptly.
Robinson hastened to explain
that he was not chiding the COM
mitteeS or the senate for not
working and emphasized that the
chamber was well caught up
with its current calendar and only
a few minor bills awaited action.
Meantime, the senate and house
labor committees agreed to open
Joint hearings on Tuesday on the
administrators new wage-and-
hour legislation. Hearings are eX-
pected to last only two weeks.
Joint congressional hearings on
Legislative proposals rarely are
held and the procedure agreed TO
today was seen as a further move
to hasten adjournment.
Developments today indicated
that administration leaders had
evolved a plan Of strategy under
which all efforts would be made to
dispose of appropriation bills and
other routine legislation before
the presidents Supreme court re-
organization plan reaches the SEN
ate floor. While the senate is de-
batting the court measure, it is
planned to throw the Wage-and-
hour bill into the house.
The success of such strategy will
be determined by the length of
the debate expected to rage about
the court bill. The senate has no
machinery except that Of cloture
to limit debate or to stop a fill
buster whereas the house does
have such machinery and usually
uses it when pressed for time.

Tlaxcallan chieftains to Christianity
and to make an alliance with them

The delegates paused.

All the delegates were back in

How can get a job?" Judith
yelled, and then her grafton was

Service alone or enough to form a
band one mile wide ell the way
around the earth'S equator. Most
OF this area is in the rs national
parks, but there are also 70 nation
al monuments, II military parks,
10 battlefield sites, II national
cemeteries, 600 national capital
parks.
The present staff of the tourist
information office is limited to
II persons, including LoomiS, but
additional employees may be added
if business increases tremendous
ly, it was said.
LoomiS explained that the
work just getting started this
year was an effort to collect and
make available to prospective
tourists the governments publica-
tionS dealing with the regions that
they expect to visit as well as to
advise the state agencies interest
ed. The state publicity depart
mentS then can send the tourists
special booklets.
The federal government can not
send state literature under a fed
eral frank and thus the states
have to send out their own in
formation after the tourist in
formation office has given them
the names of the prospective trav-
ellerS.
Starting next month, the tourist
information office will put out
weekly bulletin on events that
lure the visitors from out of the
state. The office also has approx
imately $500 reels of films dealing
with travel, industry, the national
parks and so forth which can be
borrowed by reputable groups.
LoomiS explained that if, for
example, a midweSterner wrote in
asking information about a trip
to New York, Philadelphia and
Washington, the information Of
flee would not only tell him about
the Mammouth cave in Kentucky,
Gettysburg, WaShirgtonS sites
and Virginia'S historic sites such
as Mount Vernon. Williamsburg,
Yorktown, Richmond, and Apo
mattoX but also about the Mound
City National monument near
Chillicothe, Ohio, with its pre-
historic remains; the White Plains
battlefield near New York City,
the National Historical park at
Morristown, N. j., and Antietam
battlefield in Maryland.
LoomiS said that eventually the
tourist information office will tell
foreigners about the wonders of
the United States. At present, ap-
proximately eight Americans go
abroad to one foreigner that comes
to this country. If for no other
reason than the increased good
will which resulted, LoomiS said
that it would be worthwhile to
seek to increase the quota Of for
eign visitors touring this country.

French Pilot
Is Shot Down.:
Tells Story
Commercial Plane Is
DOwned by Rebels
Near Bilbao
BY EMILIO, HERRERO

Bilbao, Spain, May 26.-WP)-
Leopold CALI, 30-year-old pilot of
French commercial passenger
airplane, tonight described from
hospital bed how his ship was
shot down by Fiat warplanes
with Fascist markings" injuring
himself and a woman passenger,
A young married woman-one
OF four passengers aboard the
French plane when it crashed on
a hillock outside Bilbao, it's fusel-
age punctured by machine-gun
bulletS-lay in another hospital.
Her home in the Basque Holy
City" of Guernica was destroyed
by Rebel air raiders, allegedly
German pilots, month ago and
she was returning from Bayonne,
France, where she had found
safety for her children.
The attacking planes were said
to have been either of German or
Italian make, but there was no
clue as to Che nationality of the
pilot.
CALI told me that the plane
which shot him down about II
miles from Bilbao was accompani-
ed by several others.
They were biplaneS with the
upper wings larger than the low
er," he said. They appeared 20
me to be Flats with Fascist
markings"
Flats are made by an Italian
concern, but there are SubSidar-
les in several other countries.
I was one of the first to reach
The destroyed French plane, rest
ing on a foothill between Algeria
and Plencia, about four miles
from the B:Scay coast.
One of a fleet of planes of the
Air Pyrenees company operating
daily between Bilbao and South
ern France, il lay broken in half
"a complete wreck. The fuSelage
was Eorn from the wings and mo-
tors which were buried by the i'm
pact.
I saw seven marks of machine
gun bullets on the left side of the
plane, three in the fuSelage and
two on the motors.
CALI was unconscious for sever
al minutes although he had, by
heroic maneuvering. succeeding
in bringing the ship down inside
the LoyaliSt lines.
The injured woman passenger,
Sonora Antonia Larranaga, 80,
suffered from shock and was Civ
en- first aid at a nearby farm
house by Isabel Marcaido. who
saw the plane crash.
The bandaged pilot, a native OF
Ariege. France, told me:
Il was making the Air Pyrenees
daily flight between Bilbao and
Bayonne and left Bayonne at 10
a. m. I was flying at an altitude
Of about 5000 feet over the BaS-
que country along the rivers Ria
and Nervion above the town of
Iequefvio when I observed that I
was being followed by three FaS-
CiSt pursuit planes.
Il laughed because I knew my
plane was marked Air PyseneeS' in
large. dist net letters. I thought
the other planes were merely re-
connoitering. The noise Of my
motors prevented me from hear
ing that we were being machine
gunned.
Then I saw five pursuit planes
I descended in circles to about l.
900 feet but We were completely
hemmed in by the intense mach
inc gun fire of the Fascist planes

Studios Planning
Better Grade of
End String Reels
Secondary Attraction of
Double Bill to Get More
Attention
BY HENRY SUTHERLAND

Hollywood, May 26.-U.P)--Sam
j. Briskin, movie production chief,
bCbS up with an answer to the
perennial question what to do
about "B" pictures. rickety step
children of double bill Snowman
ship.
A "B" picture is one made with
in a rigid budget of $4,000 to
Sl75,000, depending on the studio,
to fill the No. spots on double
bill programs.
Cheaply produced, the IBIS"
haven't much chance to qualify
as first class entertainment, and
while one occasionally steps out OF
its class most of them are pretty
bad, even for Hollywood.
Briskin's remedy, already in eff
feet at RKO, is to abolish indivi-
dual budgets for all except Super
Colossal" productions.
That does not mean, however,
that the studio is prepared to
spend indefinite sums on its run
of-the- mill product. Instead,
amounts which would have been
budgeted for individual pictures
will be placed in pool, to be
spent among the pictures accord
ing to their merits.
The plan is elastic, and will
permit an increase in budget costs
for any picture if it's development
warrants" Briskin said. ALSO it
will enable the producer to select
stronger casts when necessary in
stead of being by strict indivi-
dual budget.
"AS to the graduation OF pic
lures in terms of the alphabet, 1t
has been proven to us that public
opinion is the only marker. Classi-
ficatioa of a picture before its is
put into production, either through
budgeting or casting, has little
meaning"
How the BriSkin plan will work
out remains, of course, to be seen
Apparently it will give every pic
true a chance to become an "A"
but it certainly won't eliminate
B" pictures altogether.
Conceivably, the plan might
work to increase the number OF
"A" pictures turned out by the
studio, but add greater intensity
to the aroma of the remaining
films.
John Ford signed with Walter
Wanger to direct a film version
of the Alfred Batson novel,
Desert Intrigue" which may give
him the same kind of a chance
he had in Lost Patrol" a few
years ago. Story is that of, three
German spies lost in the jungle
of French Equatorial Africa at the
outbreak of the World War.
Mrs. John Hay Whitney is here

Says: ~
Duty Toward Youth

What a man of sixty needs is
not ''pep," but common sense
enough to direct the younger men
who have the pep.
One who complains that he
"never had a chance" probably
likes his rut.
Perhaps the human heart is al
ways seeking happiness. Yet the
anniversaries it longest remem-
bers are the sad ones.
A swivel chair is all comfort,
but there is joy in sitting on a
hard rock in the woods on a sun
shiny spring day.
ISIS" always winds papa
around her finger; and "Bud"
easily sways his mother.
Which Is Reciprocation
A dog loves his master because
his master treats him well; and
his master treats him well be-
cause the dog loves him.
A man who whistles may not
be happy, but it is the finest way
In the world to fool trouble.
If you don't want to wreck a
man, let him have some belief in
his own way of doing things, even
when you think there are better
ways.
Have hobby. Then you won't
spend hours yawning or in one
manner or another annoying the
neighbors.
