PRESIDENT FOR
 PEACE IN LABOR
Continued from Page D

(COntlnueQ rom rage U whether he favored reunion of the warning labor factions. MT. Roose- welt replied that he always had fa- vored such action. He declined to expand upon that statement.
 MT. Roosevelt said that as far as he knew the administration had taken no part In effecting the nego- tiations for Q labor peace. It was indicated in official quarters that this hands of policy would be main tained.
 win See Won
 The president said he planned to see Matthew Woll, an A. F. of l.. vice president, in the near future. Woll is a member of the three-man federation peace committee. MT. Roosevelt said he had been planning to see Woll for some time and that there was no particular reason for the appointment.
 Despite a renewal of bitter words between the two factions, their peace committees apparently were closer to an accord than at any time since the peace conference began nine days ago. It was believed that they were prepared to nego- tiate a truce to end raids upon each others membership until a perma- nent solution is reached.
 The prospects of @ settlement were seriously deterred last night, however, when federation president William Green attacked an alleg- edly unauthorized strike of 0. I. o. seamen aboard the freighter Algic while in 6 South American port.
 Accuses Green
 Joseph Curran, organizer Of c. l. O.'s national maritime union and a member of the 10-man o. I, O. peace committee, charged that Green had "thrown a spike" into the peace negotiations by criticizing the NMUs strike on the Algic.
 Whether repercussions would re- suit from the exchange could not be determined. There was Q possibil- ity that the apparent desire of the committees for peace, which came as @ surprise yesterday, would sur- mount this obstacle.
 Today's peace meeting was sched- uled for 2 p. m.
 If a truce is achieved 1t would remove the chief factor in recent industrial strife by opening the way for continuation of conferences toward c formal treaty.

 3. Tabulations of The Democrat borne out for all major offices de- spite one, two and three vote "dis- crepancies" in the checkers returns to the general moderator.
 Rehash Canvass
 The usual number of "hindsight" predictors gathered today to re- lhash the re-canvass and one re- mark was to the effect that the whole litigation of the Fusionists had derived from post-election statement of a minor Democratic election worker. He is purported to have told the following:
 "Ps-s-st! I picked up 100 votes for you in the 3rd district. Don't

Revolt Beran At once

RAbtkls
 Revolt Began At Once
 Then in the two days immediate ly preceding the meeting, some of the most influential members of the party unloosed a bombardment of statements which practically crushed the movement toward an immediate and favorable decision. Prominent among them was Ali M. Landon of Kansas, 1886 presidential candidate, saying he did not believe 1888 an "opportune" time for such @ meet ing. Landon'S statement was regard- ed in Washington, at least, as bold strategem in contest for the right to guide party policies.
 Effect of the statements by Lam don and other influential leaders was 0 specialization of opposition sentiment. Although the most out spoken opponents are not members of the committee, the overpowering influence of their sentiment appear ed to have forced the committee to switch its plans.
 John D. M. Hamilton, national OkAtAAA AVOV NNAAHAASA AAOsAASS6NAl and hitherto principal supporter of the Hoover plan on the committee said last night he did not believe the committee should tat this time" set a time and place for the interim meeting. .
 Party Leaders Protest
 Motivating influences in this abrupt change in committee senti- ment appeared the statements of six leading party members:
 Landon, Col. Frank Knox, Lam don's running mate; Senator Ar thur vandenberg, Michigan, fre- quently mentioned as a presidential candidate in 1940; Senator William E. Borah, Idaho, veteran insurgent; Representative Joseph w. Martin, Jr., Massachusetts, chairman of the house congressional campaign com- mittee, and Senator John G. Town send, Delaware, chairman of the senate campaign committee.
 Martin, leader of the committee to the plan, later said he had no objection to the appointment of a program committee" but re- iterated his opposition to a party

 probably would do no harm. Final iy, what with the publicity given the Duke, the feeling seemed to De that they could move into the White House as permanent guests if they liked.
 Then came the criticisms of the Ducal trip and particularly of Charles E. Bedaux, the Dukes ad- vance representative in the United States. There was some bewilder- ment, One viewpoint was given by the Manchester Guardian, famous liberal organ, in an editorial:
 Mistake In Psychology
 '"The Duke of Windsor'S desire to study social and industrial condi- tions among workers is entirely ad- mirable. His re-emergency into public life was obviously matter to be handled with great tact and 1t is unfortunate for him that he already has become sufferer from two mistakes in psychology.
 "The first was to put himself into the hands of Nazi leaders for a conducted tour of Germany. The second was to allow his visit to the United States to become associated with the name of MT. Charles E. Bedaux, who though the Duke may know him only as recent host, happens to be one of the bugbears of organized labor the world over."
 Duke Is Dispirited
 Reports here were that the Duke was feeling a bit dispirited at the general reaction to the social wei fare program he has adopted to fill the place in his life, vacant since his abdication of the throne. It was said that he felt first that his visit to Nazi Germany was a fail- ure because he antagonized a large section of public opinion through out the world.
 Though it was said at Paris today that he definitely would visit tho United States. 1t was reported here that he would not confine himself to 8 rigid itinerary until he saw how American people received him.

meeting In 193B. He had announced previously that he believed a con- vent in January or February, 1889, might be of real benefit"
 T can say definitely" he added, "that the committee will not ap- prove a meeting in 1938."
 He declined to say how many op- position votes had been pledged but indicated he was satisfied with the success of the last minute campaign urged by Republican representatives and senators.
 Will Report Deficit
 o. B. Goodspeed, party treasurer, will report deficit of approximate ly $70O,O00 and receive proposals for liquidating it. A nationwide series of dinners next Feb. l2, birthday of Abraham Lincoln, has been suggest ed.
 Delay in disposing of the "off year" convention problem would put off unti later threatened contest over the method of choosing dele- gates.
 Landon, in urging delay, said if a meeting is held "the opportunity must be provided for the convention to represent every shade of opinion in the Republican party, from MT. Hoover on the one hand to MT. La Guardia on the other" Landon said he favored delegates selected in caucuses in every precinct in hte country.
 HamiIton's Proposal
 Hamilton, however, said he believ- ed such meeting should be ln- formal and that if he were selecting delegates they would include:
 National committee members.
 Policy" committee members.
 State chairmen and vice-chair- men.
 County chairmen.
 Republican representatives, sena- tors, state officials and legislators.
 Unsuccessful nominees for con- gressional, state and legislative of fees.
 The party chairman said he had given no attention to the details of selecting a policy committee" but added the names of 700 leading Re- publicans already have been sub- mitted to him. He declared it should be representative of every "cross section of thought not only on gen. eral problems but specific problems within the party"
 Truce Declared
 Chicago, Nov. 5-tUP)-A truce appeared today to have ended an intra-party Republican dispute over former President Hoover's proposal for an "off year" national conVerl- tion of the party in 1888.
 In the national committee meet ing to draft 8 program to restore the party to power, 1t was under stood both friends and foes of the Hoover convention plan agreed upon immediate appointment of a policy committee and deferring of action on the proposed national meeting.
 A tentative draft of a resolution providing for the appointment of 15 members to select a policy com- mittee of 100 was passed around among both supporters and enemies of the 1888 convention.
 The draft contained no mention of the Hoover proposal.
 It was understood that Arch Shaw, Chicago Republican and close friend of the former president, tel ephoned MT. Hoover last night and informed him that his original plan could not be passed. MT. Hoover, it was said, accepted the defeat and agreed to cooperate with the policy group, although it was understood he urged supporters of his plan to insist upon some reference to the convention proposal in the resolu- ton setting up the policy commit tee.

CHARLES BEDAUX
 WANTED TO QUIT

him that if his presence were to cause him the slightest embarrass- ment that he was not only willing to withdraw but would insist on withdrawing and, at the same time, to provide one or more men prop erly equipped with knowledge of industry to enable the Duke to car- " through his contemplated visit to America and to study the sub Jects closest to his heart-housing and working conditions in the Uni ted States.
 "The Duke thanked him for his suggestion but definitely and posi- lively waved 1t aside."
 Obviously upset by the contro- versy that has arisen over his con- nection with the Dukes proposed study of industrial and housing conditions, Bedaux said he has been misunderstood by Washington newspapermen who had quoted him as disclosing that the Duke and Duchess might cancel their trip because they were "displeased" with organized labor's reaction to their plans.
 Began Wednesday
 The controversy began on We'd nesday when the Central Labor body of the American Federation of Labor in Baltimore, the Duchess home town, adopted resolution asking labor not to be taken in by stunning parties protesting to help and study labor" It denoun- ced BedauX as 1abor's arch enemy, and referred to the DucheSs-the American-born Wallis Warfield-as lone who, while a resident here, in no way showed the slightest con- cern nor sympathy for problems of labor or of the poor and needy"
 Bedaux remained calm until yes- terday, when William Green, pres ident of the A. F. of l.. concurred in the resolution and spokesmen for John L. Lewis Committee for In- {, dustrial Organization applauded it. Their criticism was directed chiefly at Bedaux, because he originated the 'Bedaux Hour" in industry, an efficiency system that breaks down industrial hours and fixes a quota method of production. Labor lead CTS have condemned 1t as a "stretch-out" system.
 Millionaire Disturbed
 The A. F. of L.-C. I. O. reaction greatly disturbed the millionaire engineer, who began his career as c subway sand hog" and whose chateau in France was the scene of the Duke and Duchess wedding last June. After consulting the Duke by telephone. he said that the former British King was dis pleased, but that The advised me to pay no attention to those low accusations.'

 50 Miles Down Coast
 Chapoo is about 50 miles down the coast from Shanghai. From there, the Japanese would drive rapidly northward along the main and secondary highways and attack In the rear the Chinese who for weeks have blasted the Japanese warships in the Whangpoo, and Japanese forces on the other side of the river, with strong artillery fire.
 Flying squads of Chinese machine gunners have been active in the Pootung area. On occasion they go down to the water front, mount their guns in warehouses or on docks, and sweep the decks of the Japan csc Warships. They have repulsed all Japanese landing parties on that side of the river. Only this morn ing, a Chinese spokesman said, a Japanese bombing plane was brought down in flames by anti- aircraft batteries in Pootung.
 Ousting of the Chinese from Poo- tung, and the expected isolation of Chinese troops from Shanghai on the other side of the river, would leave the Japanese dominant throughout the Shanghai area, and particularly would give them full command of both banks of the river. There were 42 Japanese warships in the river today. and 1t was believed the presence of this formidable fleet was part of the plan for a drive on Pootllng.
 Foreign military experts reported that the Chinese seemed to be caus- ing heavy casualties among the Jap anese who had crossed Soochow Creek. All through the territory south of the creek the Chinese have placed machine gun and sniping units. Now trench mortars have been put position, 1t was reported, and a punishing fire was being placed on all Japanese who sought to cross the creek.

 In this respect, the state party curried the favor of the young Republican faction, of which J. Kenneth Bradley, Westport, is the national chairman. In one quar- ter 1t was reported close alliance would be sought with the younger element and that when the elec- ton to the Central Committee was held next year only about 20 to 20 of the present 70 members would be retained. The other posts would 60 pricipally to the young Republicans
 Aband0ns Plan
 Reliable sources said today that Harwood had abandoned his plan of naming an advisory committee composed Of one member from each of the eight counties to meet regu- larly for the discussion of party policies.
 Instead, 1t was understood, rec concentrations would be made to have the full committee meet "at least once a month," until the 1888 campaign so as to get a com- plete expression of sentiment in every locality. A small representa- tive group, 1t was feared, might not present a true picture of reactions In the far reaches of the state.
 Harwood, 1t was reported, has abandoned the intention of appoint ing Q treasurer for the committee because of his belief the chairman would be best qualified to handle funds, as was done for years by the late J. Henry Roraback, until the next annual meeting.
 A contributing factor to this feel ing, 1t was said, was the failure of the Hartford county delegation to agree on a candidate.

 Certainly, evidence was that the Fusion counsel acted on "informa- ton" which was supposed to devel- op that the 3rd district machines would upset the election results. There was testimony in court con- earnings the 18th district machines, tampering alleged.
 That neither of these develop ments counted in the face of the machine check today was seen to mean that the election of October 5th, so far as rHajorities of the can- didates declared electe dare con- cerned, at long last in over.

moSphere which had surrounded him all his life. The cheers of great crowds of people had been eX- changed for the polite bows of hotel servants, and there had been little of the excitement to which he had been accustomed. For the duchess, the visit meant returning to the country of her birth.
 Even in advance of their visit, the duke and duchess found them selves once more in the social whirl. They were given 8 dinner last night by American Ambassador William c. Bullitt. There was a distin- guished guest list, including high members of the French government.
 Today's luncheon at the British embassy was the first recognition of the sort accorded the duchess.
 Further Recognition
 In addition, the duke and duchess will receive further American recog- hilton here by the granting of spe- cial diplomatic pastport visas and by the presence at their boat train tomorrow of Ambassador Bullitt and other embassy officials.
 Spokesmen for the duke repre- sented him as hoping that any crit icism by American labor clements or others could be smoothed over and that he and the duchess could make their tour of the United States without alteration
 The boat train for the German liner Bremen leaves Paris at 12:03 p. m. T:03 a. m. EST) tomorrow and is to arrive at Cherbourg at 4:30 D. m. The ship is to sail be- tween 6 and p. m. q and 9 p. m. EST).
 The duke maintained silence on the exact itinerary of his American tour except that he intended to go from coast to coast.
 To Be Guest of Hearst
 It seemed likely that on the Pa- cific coast the duke and duchess planned to make the California ranch of William Randolph Hearst their base, and to branch out from there on their study of industrial and public works projects and work CTS welfare.
 Persons close to the duke took occasion to emphasize that there was no significance, as regards poli- tics, in the fact that he made his first official" visit to Nazi Ger many and that he was sailing to the United States in Nazl liner. It was pointed out that he felt he ought not at this time to travel in British liner and that French liners touched British ports on their way to New York.

 Philadelphia, Nov. 5--(UP)-Dr. William E. Dodd, Jr., son of the American ambassador to Berlin crit icized the Duke of Windsor last night in 8 radio address. He said that the duke might "try to con- vince Americans of the achievements of national socialism in Germany" during his projected tour of the United States.
 Last month" Dodd said, Edward Windsor, familiarly known to Amer jeans as the Prince of Wales, paid a visit to Chancellor Hitler's Ger many and was deeply impressed with the glories of fascism there."
