 MT. Dakin went on to say that the aim of the society was not only to provide outlets for the work of ex- isting craftsmen, but also to guide them where necessary in improve ments in technique and in the sc- lection of Salable articles to make. In addition it will aim to provide flexible training program to help those interested in becoming crafts men to discover the work they could best do in their unproductive time.

SHIPPERS HAVE BITTER BATTLE
Captain of EndeavOur Not Anxious to Get Aid
 From Convoy

Newport, R. l., May 25.-UP)- A bitter feud between the British shippers of the racing yacht Endea- your I and her convoy Viva II was the only serious aftermath today of the separation of the boats in rnid-Atlantic. It was reported that the principals were very serious about the incident and that lots of waterfront language was being used by both sides. A source close to British yachtsmen, here for the Americas Cup Races, said that the Endeavour'S captain charged that he had been deserted on the high seas when the Viva slipped a tow liale in storm May IA. As a result the potential challenger was forced to make 1,l0O miles of her trans Atlantic journey on her own.
 Captain Infuriated
 The United Press informant said that Captain Ned Heard of the En- deavour was most infuriated by it all" Officers of the Viva, including Captain Wallace Grint, insisted that the convoy did not proceed to New port until after she had searched 40 hours" for the Endeavour. Those aboard the Endeavour, it was said felt that the night after the two boats separated, the Viva continued to Newport after acknowledging re- ceipt of the sloop's radioed position instead of returning to pick up the Endeavour. That was the last heard of the racing yacht until she was sighted off Nantucket Lightship Sunday.
 Bitter Feeling Evident
 First evidence that the strange events in mid-Atlantic had caused bitter feeling was revealed when the coast guard patrol boat, Argo, met the. Endeavour yesterday 34 miles southwest of Newport.
 Where's the Viva?" gray haired Capt. Heard shouted
 Tn Newport" he was answered from the Argos bridge.
 -~"I thought so," Heard answered, land having a hell of a time too. Can we get a tow to Newport?"
 "The Viva is coming out. She will take you in tow"

 Mark Shevelief, head of Arctic aviation, wirelessed from Rudolf Island today that plans had been completed to fly blind over the treacherous polar ice with supplies for the men in the new Soviet me- neurological station near the north pole.
 Shevelief, vice-chief of the Soviet polar expedition, said three planes were ready to risk the 560-mi,c flight 1 to the 13 men who flew to the north pole lats week. The supply planes faced the dangerous and difficult task of reaching the men 12 1-2miles from the pole without guidance of radio compass.
 Blizzard Delayed Them A polar blizzard held the planes back yesterday, he advised Moscow, but now they expected to take of on the hazardous dash on receipt of word from Dr. Otto. Schmidt, head of the expedition who siwith the party at the pole.
 We are going to the north pole as soon as Schmidt advises the wealth CT permits" Shevelief advised. After taking off at Rudolf Island, we will set our course, break through the clouds and flying above the clouds will use the sun to indicate cur die rection."
 A broken transformer disabled the radio company. A radio beam from Rudolf Island and triangulation from three island radio stations re- nained the sole guides to the isolated polar party, Shevelief reported. Shevelief advised Moscow that the relief aerial expedition would be led by airplane N-l7O, piloted by V. Molokov. He said the other two planes would be piloted by Anatole Alexeev and I. P. Mazuruk.
 Flown Over Clouds
 ''It is quite possible that the entire route to the pole will be flown over clouds by aStronomic observations and radio beacon from Rudolf Island" Shevelief reported. "The beacon will give us direction and our latitude will be determined by the sun every 30 minutes.
 We also may get our bearings by trangulation of beams from radio stations at Spitzberger1, Dickson Island and Murmansk.
 "The three planes will first reach the pole itself and from there start seeking the isolated plane. Our ma chimes will fly kilometers apart, flying around the pole and inspect ing large area.
 "If at the moment of arrival the weather is too bad to land on the ice we will get in touch with Schmidt and all unite at the best place for or ganization of the permanent polar station. Then we will return to our base here at Rudolf Island"

Social Security Act
 Is Declared Legal
tContinued from Page D

MT. Roosevelt sent his wage and hours plan to congress with direct challegen to the courts to deny it's validity. He pronounced it to be within the common sense frame work of the constitution and ap- proved by the electorate.
 The justices will recess for the summer one week from today. As- sociate Justice Willis Van Devan- ter's retirement will become effec- tive. Then it will remain for MT. Roosevelt and congress to determine what shall become of the New Deal bill to add five new-blood jurists to the high bench.
 Judiciary Plans Dimmed
 The Capital consensus is that chances of enacting the judiciary reorganization bill were further dimmed by yesterdays decisions !n which the court:
 1. Validated federal unemploy- ment insurance legislation.
 2. Validated federal old age pen sion legislation.
 3. Validated Alabama's unemploy- ment insurance act.
 Vast revenue and millions of indl-. viduals were affected by the courts opinions.
 The treasury estimated social se- curity tax receipts this year at $324, 600, ,OO0 and expects the sum to go to $774,800,000 in the fiscal year beginning next July l. These taxes will retire government bonds and, provided the budget is balanced, reduce the national debt.
 Forty-four states. the District of Columbia and Alaska have enacted unemployment insurance legislation in cooperation with the federal gov- ernment. It is estimated that 2,700,- 900 employers pay social security taxes and that 27,8O0,00O persons have social security numbers pre- liminary to becoming eligible for old age benefits. Approximately 18,6OO,OOO persons are participating in potential unemployment insur- ance. Docket Is Cleared
 Those decisions cleared the Su- preme court docket of New Deal cases. They were the 18th, 18th, and 14th successive pro-New Deal decisions at this term of court.
 Advocates of court reorganization contends yesterdays decisions do not further jeopardize the Presi- dents program. Opponents of re- organization insist the court has raised another major obstacle be- fore the New Deal. They argue

 Howard said that the state Oi war" now existing between the fed eration and the c. I. O. was caused by the executive councils "usurpa- tion" of powers never delegated tc it by the federation's constitution He said the c. I. o. had been formed as "an educational committee" and would have remained so, had not the executive council suspended its unions. The suspensions caused a declaration of "war", he said, "and in war anything can happen.
 Frey Makes Charges
 John P. Frey, president of the metal trades department, repeated previously made charges that the 0. I. o. was dominated by the com munist party, and recalled that he had given federation agents the names of 60 men, said to be com munists, now working as c. I. O. organizers.
 Many delegates believed that the federation planned an intensive membership campaign in the coal fields center of c. I. o. strength and in the textile mills, where Lewis organizers already have es- tablished headquarters.
 The belief was strengthened by the presence here of Joseph Ozanic president, and other officials ot the Progressive Mine Workers as- sociation, whcih broke awya from Lewis United Mine Workers Union in 1882 and became an independent organization. Ozanic said his union had been invited by the executive council to apply for an A. F. of l. charter.

Way to New MIRA Since the famous NRA decision in May 1895, which provoked Pres ident RooSevelt'S ''horSe and buzz gy" criticism of the court just as, a year later the New York minimum wage law condemnation provoked his mo mans land" criticism, the court, in the opinion of some, has pointed the way to the writing of a new MIRA. 8
 This, on the basis of the security act decisions, would be through state and federal cooperation.
 The administration is believed to have Sensed possibility of a federal state approach at the time of the AAA decision.
 The state cooperation idea receiv- ed further support as applied to the MIRA situation this past term when the court sustained two state flair trade practice" laws which permit the fixing of retail prices by the wholesaler.
 Such acts, it was believed, might be amplified by federal fair trade practice act governing goods in in- terstate commerce. Support for this belief is found in the prison goods and Wagner act decisions.

They Keep Right on Heels of All Independents Not
 Vet Signed

Pittsburgh, May 25.-(UP)--The Steel Workers Organizing Commits tee sent an agent to Chicago today to submit demands to the Inland Steel Corporation--one of four large independent producers who have been threatened with strikes unless they sign contracts.
 The committee apparently had postponed its strike deadline, which had been today and directed against the Inland company, the Republ'e Steel company, the Bethlehem Steel Corporation and the Youngstown Sheet 6 Tube company. Republic and Youngstown Sheet & Tube have threatened to close their plants if strikes are called.
 One Contract Signed

Bufnagel, chairman of the board of the Crucible Steel company of America, another inde- pending employing approximately 18,0OO workers. Like agreements signed earlier with the United States Steel corporation and 137 smaller concerns, the contract gives the union the right to represent only it's own members in three crucible plants here. two in Syracuse, N.

 applications had been received from within the state for the personnel directors position but all failed to meet the requirements set up by the newly adopted law. In this way the governor was free to go out of the state for a director.
 Attachment On Wages
 Hartford, Conn, May 25-UP)- The house today voted to abolish the law permitting attachment of wages in excess of $15 week and stipulated no assignment of wages may be made in the future.
 Under terms of the new bill, which must be accepted by the sen- ate, special power is given to the courts to hold hearings on debts and to order weekly payments in proportion to earnings of the debt- or. The court would have full jur- isdiction until the debt was paid in full.
 Violators of the courts rulings could be held in conempt of court.
 Rep. Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., r, Suf- field, who reported the bill favor ably, said We hate to admit it but we must. Considerable oppression on the part of attorneys and credi- tors has resulted from our present law"
 Many persons, he said, who had been unemployed during the de- preSsion hesitated in taking a job because they feared wage attach ments. On the other hand, he pointed out, employers were impa- tient with workers whose wages were garnisheed and many workers were discharged because of attach ment troubles.

Craftsmen Unite In
 State Organization
Governor Cross Gives Personal Endorsement of Move
 ment; Provides Outlet for iOme-Made Products

Organization plans have been completed for society of crafts men in Connecticut and a perma- nent organization formed under the name of The Society of Connecticut Craftsmen, Inc. Over a year has been spent in preliminary organiz- ing. contracting craftsmen, planning exhibits, etc, and the final result represents a well-planned and con- certed move of Connecticut people to give encouragement, active sup- port, and new impetus to the making and marketing of handmade article by Connecticut people. The move ment is particularly directed toward people in the rural sections of state where opportunities for guirdance in the making and marketing Of their products are slight.
 Governor Endorses
 In speaking of the newly formed society Governor Wilbur L. Gross made the following statement: T am in hearty accord with the aims of the Society of Connecticut Crafts men, Inc, which has just estab- lished headquarters at 762 Farming ton avenue, West Hartford, Con- necticut. This organization has sensed the need of an outlet for handmade articles of many kinds, produced by people living for the most part in our outlying districts and not able to secure other employ ment, and hope that it will meet with eager cooperation on all sides. "
 The idea of statewide Society of Craftsmen is not new, a similar plan having been carried on in New Hampshire for the past five years with great success. Here the idea has spread until there are shops through which over 1,500 New Hampshire craftsmen may sell their products in twenty New Hampshire towns Vermont, also, has such a plan recently begun in Weston, Yer mont. Many Connecticut people are familiar with these shops and with the truly fine handmade arti- cles that can be purchased in them. Connecticut, too, has fine craftsmen making really rare and beautiful products but in definite need of assistance in marketing them.
 Contacts Established
 According to w. s. Dakin, chair man of the organization committee, the general plan of the Connecticut Society is to begin modestly and
