 Army Officers Marvel
 San Jacinto, Calf. July l6--(UP) Army officers who examined the Soviet plane found odd contrasts
 They marveled at the l06-foot wingspread and single motor, for the wings reach out the same length as those on the army's new giant fly ing fortress" which is powered by four 1000 horsepower motors.
 Maj. E. G. Moulton, who super vlSed removal of the sealed baro. graphs, said the design and construc- ton, especially the welding, were excellent but that the wing and fusilage covering was poor.
 The motor, of Soviet manufacture, resembles the British Rolls-Royce motor, army flyers said, while the instruments appeared a mixture of French. British and Italian design. The cooling system resembles Amer lean design.
 An old-type gasoline gauge, set in the fuselage floor. was used as an oil gauge.

 Final decisions on all legislative matters were delayed until after the services for Robinson, which will include a state funeral in the senate chamber on Friday, attended by the President, and second service at Little Rock, Ark, which will be attended by Vice-President John N. Garner and a huge con- gresisonal delegation.
 Fight Intensified
 President Roosevelt was expected to confer with congressional lead- CTS in reaching the decisions, but all indications from the White House were that there would be intensification rather than diminu' ton of the pressure for action on the court issue, at least.
 One obstacle facins the leadership shaken by the loss Of Robinson was the growing demand for ad- journment. It came chiefly from members of the house and senate not in sympathy with the court pro- gram but provided delicate prob- lem for congressional leaders ir view of the sweltering Capital heat and the warning O. Senator Royal s Copeland, democrat, N. r., A phy' s!cian, that other senators were risking dangers by remaining tr the thick of the parliamentary battle
 Talked With Baruch
 President Roosevelt was believed to have discussed the general prob- lems of the session with Bernard M. Baruch, long powerful in demo- cratic councils, in a conference at the White House. It was under stood that Baruch recently had canvassed the legislative situation and had come to the conclusion that the best procedure to avoio splitting the party wos to wind ur legislative affairs and let congress 90 home as quickly as possible.
 If such advice was given tht president and if he considered 1t no indication had yet been passed along to Capitol Hill leaders.
 On the surface, there appeared to be move toward healing the split in democratic ranks which has beer widened by the court bill fight Many senators believed that there was possibility of further bitter dis pute over the selection of a new majority leader.

 Flames" Police Superintendent Will liam J. Roach twice refused to issue permit for the showing of the pic- ture in this city, declaring 1t was too controversial and might incite trou- ble. The picture, he said, has been banned in several states and a num- Der of cities, and he asserted that the film was produced by Sovkino propaganda branch of the Soviet Russian government.
 When Supt. Roach refused to is- sue a permit, the ministers took the matter to the American Civil Liber- ties union. Legal action was taken, and Judge Ernest A. Inglis of the superior court was asked to issue an injunction forcing the superin- tendent to allow the picture to be shown here. Judge Inglis denied the injunction, stating that the commit tee should seek 6 rnandamus com polling Supt. Roach to issue the permit. The rliandainus action is slated for hearing in superior court in September.

 IN STATEMENT

(Continued from Page D not disciplined or penalized the members of the American Fedora ton of Labor unions locally because of sympathy and cooperation ex- tended to workers on strike, regard less of organization afflliation.
 Ordinarily, however, unions af- filiated with the 0. l. o. have no claims for support or assistance from the American Federation of Labor. They ought to become part of the American Federation of La- bor before calling for support and assistance.
 It is rather inconsistent for them to ask for the support of the Amer ican Federation of Labor when 1t is the avowed purpose of the c. I. O. to make war upon the American Fed. eration of Labor and to destroy 1t.
 Gen. Strike Breaks Contract
 A general strike cannot be in- augurated without violating con- tracts honorably entered into. The American Federation of Labor be- lieves in the observance of con- tracts and the maintenance of said contracts inviolate. One of the chief assets of the American Fed eration of Labor is the record 1t made during one-half century of negotiating wage agreements and maintaining them inviolate.
 Furthermore, general strikes mean revolution. The innocent victims of a general strike in a community will not long tolerate such action, consequently public opinion turns against strikers when they engage in a general strike. For these reasons, the American Federation of Labor to general strikes.
 There are no immediate pros- poets of peace between the Amer ican Federation of Labor and the C.I.O. the standing committee created more than eight months ago by the executive council to confer with @ committee from the CI.O, has not thus far been discharged.
 Grave Danger Ahead
 There is grave danger that an inc crease in the membership of organ- ized labor will offset because of the bitter division which occurred in the ranks of labor. The C.I.O. movement set up as a dual, rival organization to the American Fed eration of Labor, has created divi- sion, discord and hate within the ranks of labor.
 As a result of the creation of this dual movement, labor has been ripped and torn into warning fac- tions. No reasonable minded per- son can fail to appreciate the full significance of this division which has been created within the ranks of labor through the organization of the C.I.O.
 All reasonable minded men who are members of the American Fed eration of Labor and who are its friends hope that eventually unity and solidarity will again be estab- lished.
 Next Convention Decides
 The next convention of the Amer ican Federation Of Labor. which will be held at Denver, Colorado, beginning October 1, 1887, will de- eide what further action will be taken toward organizations which have accepted membership in the committee for industrial organiza- ton.
 The American Federation of La- Dor has assisted organizations out. side the American Federation of La Dor. We have always maintained very friendly relationship with the transportation unions.
 We desire the right, however, to determine what organizations we will help and what appeals for as- sistance and help will be refused.

 Uphold Japanese Prestige
 The provincial or prefecturai governors, summoned in emergency conference from all over the coun. try, heard guarded speeches by cah- met ministers in which the desire for peace was emphasized but the determination to deal firmly to up- hold Japanese interests and pres- tige was made quite clear
 National solidarity in face of what might be 6 major emergency was the keynote of the meeting.
 First vice-Admiral Mitsumasa Yonia, navy minister, announced:
 Tn order to safeguard Japanese nationals and protect their interests the navy is dispatching . number of warship units to the China and Manchukuo coasts. They will patrol the coast lines and engage in poe Icing duties"
 China Overestllnated
 Gen. Hajimi sugiyarna, war rnin- ister, told the governors that China was over-estiinatins her strength He charged that anti-Japanese propaganda was responsible for the present situation.
 "In view of Japan's bitter ex- periences with Chinese treachery we are watching strictly the pro- lection of Japan'g interests, 7 he said. Prince Fumimaro Konoye, the premier, was ill and unable to at- tend. He sent c message to the sov- ernors uring cooperation with the cabinet and national calm in c tense situation.
 "The government intends to seek China's prompt reconsideration ot It's attitude and . peaceful solution of the crisis" the message said.
 Reasons for the serious tone of the ministers statements were made clear by Q war office comfnuniqus which charged that China had long been preparin gfor . crisis in the north.

RUHLAND'S REPORT
BACKED BY HAZEN
Official Finds Homeopathic Hos
pital Unsuited for Proposed
Health Clinics.

Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen yes
terday approved the report of Health
Officer George C. Rutland and Munich
pal Architect Nathan c. Wyeth, who
found that the Homeopathic Hospital
was unsuited for use as one of the
Districts proposed health centers or
poly-clinics.
Mr. Hazen predicted that the Board
Of Commissioners would take this
position and recommend TO congress
sional leaders that the District be
allowed to proceed with the plan
for the construction of the first Of
the poly-clinics on the present site Of
the Jones Elementary School at First
and L streets NV.
For this purpose, Congress pro-
vided in the 1888 Appropriation Act
an item of $165,000. The plans, now
in an advanced state, are to be ready
for bids from contractors some time
in February. Recently the Commis-
sioners were asked by Representa-
tive Collins, Democrat, of Mississippi,
who has charge Of the District supply
bill, to consider purchase Of the
hospital as a substitute for the ap-
preparation plan.
District officials have found that it
would cost too much to purchase
the hospital and to make many alter
ations necessary for conversion of
the structure into polytechnic to set
up an expectations of economy in
the suggested change of plan.

JEFFERSON SHRINE
PROBLEM REVIVED
Sentiment in Favor of Lincoln
Park as Alternate Site
Reported Growing.

Renewed discussion of the Thomas
Jefferson Memorial problem early in
the regular session of Congress which
starts January appeared likely yes
terday from indications on Capitol
Hill.
Meanwhile there were reliable re-
ports Of some sentiment among the
membership of the Jefferson Memorial
Commission in favor of Lincoln Park
as an alternative site for the Tidal
Basin, which encountered opposition
and provoked controversy in Con-
gress last summer.
Some members of the commission
originally favored going east of the
Capitol with the Jefferson Memorial
and placing it near the Anacostia
River on main axis with the Capitol
and the Lincoln Memorial. A majority
Of the commission, however, approved
the Tidal Basin plan.
Lincoln Park is in line with, but
not as far east as the proposed Ana
costa River site. Economy in cost OF
development is understood to be one
of the reasons advanced in connec-
tion with the Lincoln Park pro-
posal. Whether there is sufficient
support in the commission for that
location, however, will not be known
until meeting is called to decide what
should be done regarding the memorial
project.

GALL|NGER RELIEF
ASKEDBYRUHLAND
Expansion of Home Treat
ment Urged on Part
Time Physicians.

Belief that expansion of the system
of home treatment of the INDECENT sick
will tighten the burden on over
crowded Gallinger Hospital was voiced
yesterday by Health Officer George c..
Rutland at conference with IL part
time physicians on his staff.
DR.. Ruhland asked the group to
study each case that comes under care
and not to recommend disqualification
unless it was their judgment that hos
pital care was essential.
The health officer called the physi-
clans into special conference because
of the crowded condition of the hos
pital. He said disqualification should
be ordered in every necessary case. but
that he believed many persons could
be treated as effectively at home,
through the "out-patient" service he
plans to expand.
Further relief will be afforded CAL
linger, DR.. Rutland said, if Congress
will provide appropriations permitting
the use of the old District Tubercu-
losis Hospital at Fourteenth and Up
shur streets, as q convalescent hos
pital, to which a large number of re-
cuperating Gallinger patients might
be transferred
The Commissioners have agreed to
sponsor this move. in the hope that
the need for constructing a new ward
at Gallinger Hospital might be post
poned for another year or two.
Opposition to use of the now vacant
Upshur street hospital has developed
among residents of the area, who de-
clared the site is not a proper place
for hospital and that the area should
be converted to school or playground
purposes.
