National Emergency

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 10.
OUP).-Thc Southern States In
duetrial Council, faced with. an
invasion of John l.. Lewis Com
mittcc for Industrial Organi2a-
ton. last night sharply attacked
the administration for tolcrating
sit-down strikes.
The council--ofTicial voice Of
manufacturers in Ii southern
states-is fighting the CLOS drive
TO organize the vast southern tex
tile industries. The industrialists
urged immediate legislation TO
outlaw the sit-down strike de
spite any doubt of constitutions
atty"
President John +. EdgertOn of
the council declared in a written
statement that sit-down strikes
would not be successful except for
"thc Notwithstanding attitude
Of administration and law enforce
mcnt agencies"
He said every American should
demand that laws be passed grant
ing immediately legislative power
to outlaw Sit-dOwns of the fed
cral government does not have the
power to cope with this national
crisis"
ain this emergency, one might
even concedc moral justification
for calling upon senators and con-
gressmen to vote for the measure
despite any reasonable doubt Of
its constitutionality," Edgerton
said in n written statement.
The industrialist declared the
sit-down situation was az great n
national emergency as that which
resulted in creation Of the MIA
four years ago.
Edgerton said the destruction
of property rights Of employers in
manufacturing and business by a
uSurping minority in the current
sit-down strikes "is but the first
step toward an inevitable destruc-
ton Of all rights TO own prop
erty. ="
1t could not have been success
full, he said, except for the apa-
thy of that large majority of citi-
zens who feel that because they
arc not directly affected, there is
no danger in them, and, most of
all, because of the Shoulder-shrug-
cling attitude of administration
and law enforcement agencies

Roosevelt Tackles Finan-
ciaI Problems; Says Plan
News to Him

WASHINGTON, April 10. (UP)
President Roosevelt yesterday
tackled complex problems raised
by warnings that the budget must
be balanced to prevent initiation
and rocketing prices from plung-
ing the nation into new eco
nomic chaos.
Officials directing the New
Deals monetary, relief, agricul-
ture and labor policies were call
cd to the White House for con,
sultation after the president SAID
at a press conference that: ,
|. He has not yet determined
the amount he will ask to finance
relief during the next fiscal year.
2. The prospective lengthy SEES
sion Of congress makes 1t adVls-
able for him to bring budget es-
Inmates up to date in connection
with the relief message. -,
3. He still hopes new taxes Will
not be necessary.
4. He knows Of no plans to
cut the price of gold.
Indications are that Mr.. Roose-
welt will have to recommend eth
er drastic curtailment in reilef
and recovery expenditures OF new
taxation if he clings to his pro-
gram for balancing the budget
next year.
This problem and the gold price
are among the factors having an
important bearing on the task Oh
achieving a balanced recovery "
of maintaining a delicate equiiib-
rum between initiation and della
ton.
Economists agree that the flow
of foreign gold into this country
has been an inflationary factor;
Net capital imports aggregated
So, ,749,000 during the last
two years, according to a treas

supply of money in this country

ROME SAYS THEY'RE
I'm SHADY BUSINESS

ROME, April 10. (UP).-Pre-
mier Benito MussolinPs angry
press attacks on foreign nations
threatened today to bring sharp
U. S. diplomatic action following
semi-official hints that three AM
erican missionaries would be ex-
PEELED from Ethiopia as "spies or
agents of shady business"
The U. s. embassy said It was
"quite likely" that off ciar in
quiries would be made at II Duce's
foreign office.
At the same time it was reveal
ed that Great Britain has instruct
ed her ambassador, Sir Eric Drum
mond, to "take up strongly with
the Italian government the expul-
sion Of seven British mission
aries from Ethiopia on the same
grounds.
Virginia Gayda, editor Of the
Giornale d'Italia, the mouthpieee
for Mussolini, revealed in an az
ticle that the seven British mis-
sionaries had been expelled and
warned that three American worrn-
en- would be ousted soon.
"All Protestant missionaries IN
Ethiopia will be revealed as spies
or the agents Of shady business"
Gayda said.
The fiery Fascist editor charged
that the American women "have
been discovered to have had init
mate connections" with British
spy.
The American women were
identified by Gayda as Ruth Ship

Yale President Accuses
Roosevelt Of "Political
Bad Faith"
CHANGE UNDER FIRE
ON CONGRESS- FLOOR

WASHINGTON. April 10. -
UP)-Dean William Z. Master
ton of the University of Missouri
law school, told the senate Judi
ciary committee yesterday that
six new Justices could "hold a
sit-down strike" against the su.
prcmc court and enable the pres
idcnt to triumph over the con-
stitution."
MYSTERIOUS attack on President
Rooscvelt's judiciary rcorganiza-
ton program followed that Of two
other opposition witnesses. Before
he spoke Senator William Fl.
King, D., Utah, made public let
ter from President James K. An
CELL of Yale 10 Senator David |.
Walsh, D., Mass, accusing the
president Of political bad faith
"To spring it (thc court plan)
now and to try and whip INTO line
the huge Democratic majority IN
congress is a fragrant instance 81
political bad faith which would be
difficult to match in our entire
history" Angel wrote. Once oul,
confidence in the good faith OF
the chief magistrate and the mn
partially of the supreme court IS
shaken, the end of our form OF
government is in sight"
There were speeches of con-
domination in both senate and
house.
In the upper chamber Senator
Warren r. Austin, r., VI, sought
to answer arguments Of Attorney
General Homer S. Cummings that
the supreme courts business Is 40
voluminous the present number
of justices cannot give sufficient
attention to petitions. Austin read
from the writings Of justices and
other sources to show that all JUS
tices examined all petitions for
hearing. Senator Sherman Minton,
d., Ind, said a court law clerk
told him the Justices assigned the
reading to their clerks, but Aus
Tin insisted there was no evidence
of it.
In the house Representative
Charles A. Eaton, r., \. j., made
a satiric speech in which he de-
scribed the court as an orphan
child" which Mr.. Roosevelt had
left on the doorstep of con-
press." Sarcastically he inquired
"What has happened TO us to
have such moral collapse that
we have to take our orders from
the executive branch"
Masterton charged that the
presidents proposal is particular
~ dangerous because it seems to
apply new rules in the midst OF
