Hardly five minutes after she had
been sworn in yesterday as Minister
to Norway, Mrs. J. Borden Hartman,
New York and Washington society
woman, received her first lesson in
practical diplomacy.
At the expense Of much discom-
future on the part Of State Depart

initial rule for diplomats Is to be nom
committal.
Mrs. Hartman inadvertently dis
closed to news men that the State
Department is discussing with the
Norwegian government the negotia-
ton Of reciprocal trade treaty. This
was something the correspondents
were not supposed to know Ut this
stage OF the proceedings.
Mrs. Hartman, recently appointed
Minister to Norway by President
Roosevelt, took the oath Of ONCE at
the state Department ut noon. I'm
mediAtely afterward she received
Newspaper men.
Michael J. McDermott, the Depart

her side.
One Of the interviewers asked II

Man on Duty in Hindenburg
Stern Expected to Throw
Light on Blast.

LAKEHURsT, N. j.. May l5.-The
investigators OF the Hindenburg dis
aster Unexpectedly discovered today
a man who could tell them what he
saw happen in the dirigible's stern
when 1t was torn with a flaming ex-
plosion.
Considered one of the most i'm
portant crew survivors yet found
Hans Freund, rigging omcer, told
the Commerce Department Investigat-
ing Board and its stan OF American
and German advisors that he was on
duty in the ships tail at the time and
near the spot where disaster struck
so suddenly.
Called IS Routine Witness.
Freund had been called as another
routine crew survivor witness so that
he might sail for his German home
tonight with 20 other comrades who
have told their stories. His apparent
knowledge Of the moment of disaster
50 impressed the Investigators, how
ever, that he was suddenly with
drawn from the stand and his thor
ough examination deferred until Mon
day.
While today's brief hearing was
in progress, the loss of life from the
airliner tragedy of May increased
to 36. A German passenger on the
last flight, Otto Ernst, 70, = Ham,
burg cotton importer, died this morn
ing at Paul Kimball Hospital, in
nearby Lakewood, from burns and in
juries he suffered in the crash. His
wife, less seriously hurt, remained
in the same hospital. The condition
Of two other survivors in q Point
Pleasant Hospital has not been con-
sidered favorable since the wreck.
Landing Rope Fouled.
Freund had little chance to get
launched on his story before he was
withdrawn. He did reveal, however,
that a manila landing rope was mo-
mentarily fouled by two fms of the
ship during landing operations.
In postponing his detailed testi-
mony, the Department of Commerce
Board members, obviously impressed,
said they wished to consult with the
German and American experts so
as to prepare for a more exhaustive
questioning Monday.
DR.. Hugo Eckener, head of the Zep-
pelin Corp, was invited to let the
board have his questions before his
departure for a week end in New
York, where he and his colleagues
of the official German Investigating
Mission plan to talk with Capt Max
Pruss, skipper Of the Hindenburg, and
other injured survivors.

victed by jury In District Court on

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The mo compromise" challenge,
Issued by President Roosevelt on his
return to Washington yesterday, was
taken up Immediately by senatorial
opponents Of his bill to increase the
membership Of the Supreme Court
by a maximum of six new justices.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada, sponsor of the most discussed
compromise increase in the men,
bership of the court from to IL
issued statement last night in which
he said there might be no compromise
offered II the President maintained
his attitude. He threatened, in effect,
to let the Presidents bill stand as
1t is and 80 to vote in the Senate.
He predicted its defeat.
Another leading opponent of the
Presidents Supreme Court program,
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, Of Mon
tana, long recognized as liberal, said
that, as matters stand today, there are
- Senator'S majority-who will
surely vote against the bill. He added
that he knew of four other Senators
who very probably" will vote against
1t.
Statement Of McCarran.
Referring to the mo compromise"
statements made by Senator Robinson
of Arkansas, Democratic leader, and
Postmaster General Farley, at the
White House Friday afternoon, Sem
ator McCarran said:
Perhaps those of US who have been
inclined to interpose compromise with
the hope that we might go on with
the legitimate business OF the Congress
will now be inclined to withdraw our
proposal. This, it appears from re-
portA emanating from yesterdays
White House conferences would be
more in keeping with the attitude of
the other side.
I'VE have been willing by means of
the substitute bill now pending before
the Judiciary Committee to do the
thing lawfully, whereas the admin
stration plan is unlawful and uncon-
stitutional We could, under the sub
stitute bill, enlarge the personnel of
the court by two and probably bring
Into the court representative residents
ef all circuits The so-called Presi-
dents bill offers no such legal change.
IT, as it appears. there is to be no
willingness to compromise, it might be
the attitude of those who are against
the administration plan to offer no
compromise, instead to bring the is
sue to a straight-out vote, and we've
got them licked"
Committee Votes Tuesday.
This week will bring the first actual
showdown on the Presidents bill, when
the 18 members of the Senate Judi
ciary Committee meet Tuesday to vote
on the measure and all amendments
thereto. The bill, as it stands, is de-
feated in the committee by at least
10 to 8. Some Of the opponents Of the

PITTSBURGH, May l5.-Philip
Murray, delegated the power to force
signed contracts with flve big inde-
pendent steel corporations, hinted to-
night strike call might be issued
within 10 days" unless agreements
were reached.
I'VE are handling each case as
separate and distinct problems, but
would say that very definite an
nouncenent will be made in each case
within 10 days." asserted the soft
spoken chairman of the Steel Workers
Organizing Committee, unit of the
John L. Lewis Committee for Indus
trial Organization.
III the companies persist In refusing
to sign labor contracts strikes are In
evitable," he added.
Murray was referring to the Bethle-
hem, Republic, youngstown Sheet and
Tube, Inland and Crucible Steel
Corps, who employ almost 200, 900
workers.
Three Refuse to Sign.
The first three concerns definitely
have declined to sign the contracts
calling for exclusive bargaining agency
powers for their workers as demanded
by Murray.
Murray said the first crisis would
likely develop next Tuesday when A. F.
Hofnagle, chairman Of Crucible Steel,
meets with him here. Lodge presi-
dents Of this concerns union locals
will be present 80 that We can speedily
transmit our orders after this confer
ence," said Murray.
Another conference has been sched-
uled for Tuesday, May IS, with the
chairman Of the Inland Steel Corp. in
Chicago. Lodge presidents also will
be present, ready, to transmit other
orders should this meeting fail to
bring a signature, the union chieftain
said.
Between these two meetings will be
held the Government supervised
election at Jones & Laughlin Steel
Corp. plants to determine whether
the union will be the exclusive bar
gaining agent of the men.
Murrays statements came after An
all-day conference Of more than so
heads OF union locals and sub-re-
gional directors In the districts Of the
youngstown, Sheet & Tube, Repub-
lie, Inland and Crucible mills.
Claim Clear Majorities.
These delegates made their reports
OF progress, which Murray said were
highly satisfactory and indicated
we have q majority membership In
every plant" Then they voted him
the power to call a strike or employ
ANY other strategy" he felt neoes-
sary to achieve the desired written
contracts.
Murray said no sudden strike call
was contemplated, but that he would
not commit himself to public an
nouncements on his plans.
The union chieftain mobilised the
attack ~ hours after he had OBJ
tanned what he called complete
victory" in settling the strike in
volving 27,000. workers at the Jones
& LAughlin Steel Corp. plants in
Pittsburgh and Aliquippa, Pa.
