ME SAYS BOARD
 IS TAKING SIDES

Washington, July 23-(UP)-sen. Gerald P. Nye, R, N. D., charged today that the National Labor Re- lations board had disqualified it. self as 0 referee between manage ment and workers" by taking sides lin labor's internal disputes.' Nye said he had no interest in any case before the board but that he did not wish to see the government um- pire batting for either s!de."
 "The National Labor Relations board seems to have gone out of It's way to demonstrate to the public that 1t is e partisan body rather than a judicial institution" Nye said in statement.
 The board, which is conducting hearings here on charges of Wag- iler act violations by Republic Steel Corporations during the strike called by the committee for indus- trial organization "has such 6 pro- nounced CI.O.-bias that the aver- age man regards 1t as ap adjunct" Nye said.

Miss Lucy Holybird, . member of the field stan from the New Haven WPA office, was in Waterbury con- ferring with local officials and at- tempting to straighten the matter out.
 The money had been exhausted, 1t was true, but c transferral of the project was effected so that now 1t is Q state project and no more Q locally sponsored one. And as re- suit of this transferral the book mending is still going on this morn- ing at Silas Bronson library.
 Axe Suspected
 When the news first reached here yesterday that the financial sup port of the project had temporarily failed, workers and officials ina- mediately began to think in termS of the traffic survey project and probably had visions of Q long wait for work and pay before the matter was cleared up. And there were al. so assumptions, caused by recent ax-falling episodes which have beer taking place throughout the state that the ax had been misdirectec and that 1t had fallen on five unsus' pecting necks. Fortunately this wal not true and work was resumed to- day,

RIGHTS OF WOMEN
 ARE ADVOCATED

Atlantic City. N. J., July 23-(UP) Anita Pollitzer of Washington ad- vocated equal opportunity for wo- men in industry, business and the professions today at the biennial convention of the National Federa- ton of Business and Professional Women's Clubs.
 Miss Pollitzer, vice chairman and congressional secretary of the na- tional women's party, said that wo- men must unite to protect their interests because of "the continued attacks on the economic status of women in this country as well as in Europe"
 Labor legislation that sets wo- men apart, interferes with their op- portunities of earning living and makes the principle of equal pay for equal work impossible to real- ize," she said. Restrictions on the hours, conditions and remuneration of labor, when enacted, should ap- ply alike to men and women.
 'sThe demand for equal oppor- tunity for women in industry, busi- ness and the professions is obvious ly fair to the millions of wage- earning women who must support themselves and their children to- day"

BUFFALO HIT BY
 FOOD SHORTAGE
Two Labor Bodies Tie Up City-Try Blockade to
 Isolate City

Buffalo, N. F., July 23-(UP) - An acute shortage of staple foods and meats faced Buffalo today as the strike of 2,o0o produce truck drivers, warehouse employees and packing company workers threat ened to spread to drivers and clerks in chain grocery stores.
 House wives were feeling the pinch of the truck drivers and warehouse workers strike which has tied up de- livery of staple foods to retail coun- ters for three days. Many stores, both chain and independent, ran out of butter and eggs and report ed diminishing supplies of cheese and canned goods. Some stores feared their entire supply of staple foods would run out during the day.
 To Call Out More
 Samuel Licata, business agent for the truck drivers and warehouse workers, members of an American Federation of Labor affiliate, an- nounced that all chain store drivers and clerks would be called out on strike today. He said all grocery and meat stores would be warned not to accept goods delivered by non-union drivers. Failure to com- ply will result in picketing, he said.
 The strike of 1000 packing con1- pany employees, members Of a Q. !. o. affiliate, threatened to spread to the city's fourth major meat pro- ducts firm. The strike already hes suspended or curtailed operations in three of the city's largest plants - the Jacob Dold Packing Company, the Hygrade Products Corporation and the Danahy Packing Company. A shortage of fresh meat was threatened by tomorrow.
 Strike leaders predicted c block ade to isolate the city from It's source of supply would become ef- fective today. Plying squads were sent out on the highways to pur- suade drivers of produce trucks not to enter the city.
 The packing strikers, members of c committee for industrial organiz- ation affiliate, demand 2S-per cent wage increase, c 40-hour week, va cations with pay and time and e half for overtime.
 The truck drivers and warehouse men, members of an American Fed eration of Labor afaliate, seek closed shop, increased minimum wages and better working condi- tons.

Cant Take Itw

When e liquor permittee dies, his permit dies with him, and no transfer may be made. This opin- ion was expressed today by the of- flee of the attorney general, in an- swer to the query of the liquor control commission.
 The question arose when the manager of e chain store, in whose name the liquor permit of that store was held, died. The operators of the chain store attempted to designate the successor to the manager as the permittee under the same permit. Assistant Attor- ney General Frank J. DiSesa, who wrote the opinion states that such @ move would be contrary to statute. He defined Section 102ec of the 1935 cumulative supplement which describes a liquor permit as purely personal privilege" which shall cease upon the death of the permittee."

JEALOUSY CAUSED
 DOCTORS DEATH

Providence, R. T., July 23.-(UP) investigators have definitely fixed jealousy as the motive for the slay- ing of Dr. George w. Webster, 39, Providence society doctor, 1t was learned on reliable authority today. The slayer, police theorized, was a husband or sweetheart who was jealous of attentions shown by the physician toward one of his many women friends. To find the killer police are convinced they must first find the woman with whom Dr. Webster was most friendy just prior to his murder, 1t was learned.
 The investigation today centered on the doctors relations with 6 nurse, @ married woman and a single woman, all of whose names were withheld. It was a week ago this morning that Dr. Webster was felled by two AS caliber bullets in the vestibule of his fashionable East Side home. He died an hour later without disclosing the identity of his slayer. A half-fllled box Of bullets similar to those used by the slayer has been found a half-mile from Dr. Webster's home. Police thus far have been unable to de- termine the name of the purchaser.

DELEGATES FROM
 GERMANY OBJECT

oxford, England, July 23.-(UP) German delegates today with drew their support from message which the world church conference meeting here intends to send Mon- day to the German Evangelical church.
 The message says that the con- Ference is greatly moved by the af- ziictions of many pastors and lay men of the German Confessional church who stood firm for free dom to preach the gospel. The Confessional church constitutes the Evangelical opposition to Nazifica- ton of religion.
 Bishop Otto Melle of the German Methodist Episcopal church, and Paul Schmidt, director of the Fed eration of German Baptists, were the delegates who withdrew. They said that the message as written would tend to aggravate and ac- centugte conflicting tendencies in the church and would be widely misunderstood in Germany.

 ford.
 Tomorrow morning, July 24, 1887, thirty-six representatives of local, county, and state law enforcement organizations will receive their dip- lomas from the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation at the graduation exercises marking the closing of the fifth session of the FB1 National Police Academy. These thirty-six officers, represent- ing the same number of law enforce ment organizations throughout the United Staets, have beene quipped to return to their departments for the purpose of assuming official positions in Q nationwide warfare against crime and criminals. Trained In the technique of mechanics of law enforcement, in the administra- ton and organization of police de- partmentS, and in technical and scientific crime detection methods, these officers have also received special instruction in the methods of organizing and conducting train- Ing schools in their own depart mentS. They will, therefore, return to their homes and give the benefit of their respective departmnts, thereby improving the stanadrds of law enforcement on Q broad scale and rendering more effective the warfare against crime and crim- inals.
 Special Training
 Just as West Point and Annapolis provide training for those who are to assume commanding positions In the wars waged in this country against foreign foes when occasion may arise, so the FBI National Pos lice Academy undertakes to give training to those who are to assume the leadership in directing, training and controlling the forces which are waging constant and relentless war against law violators. The effective ness of this work is more apparent when 1t Is observed that since this type of training was inaugurated by the director of the FBT in July 1885, there have been one hundred f6ty-one graduates from the five training schools of this type, each of which lasted for Q period of l2 weeks, and these one hundred fifty one graduates, representing the same number of police agencies, are now equipped to train the 59,744 of- ficers constituting the personnel of the departments which they represented. It Is also interesting to note that the total population residing within the enforcement Jurisdiction of these agencies, there- by being provided with Q more ef- fectlve type of law enforcement, Is 70, ,22S ,249.
 For Instructors
 Although one of the primary pur- poses of this course of training is to provide instruction to these who are to teach police officers through out the United States, 1t Is very in- teresting to observe that this phase
