HUNT BELIEVED
IN MEXICO

LOS ANGELES, April 3 GN.S).
Fear that John WueSt Hunt has
fled to Mexico was expressed by
investigators today as they
pressed their search for the one
time lieutenant of Father Divine,
wanted on Mann Act charges.
Hunt, it was reported, has not
been seen by leaders of the cult
since his arrest was ordered early
this week on charges that he be-
trayed 17-year-old Delight Jewett,
of Denver, by convincing her that
she, as the Virgin Mary was TO
become the mother of new re-
deemer."
Aroused over the adverse effect
Of the story on their movement.
officials of the organization have
been endeavoring to locate the
33-year-old member Of a wealthy
Cleveland family to persuade him
to surrender, but without success.
it was understood.
Despite this development, Hugh
Macbeth, Negro attorney who rep
resented Hunt in litigation here
last year, said he believed Hunt
would surrender before Wednes-
day when the Federal grand jury
is scheduled to consider the case.
Macbeth said:
"AS soon as I am released
from the pressure of other mat
tiers / will attempt to commune
cate with Hunt. You can be sure
that no law enforcement agency
ever will have any difficulty
finding any of the followers Of
Father Divine"

the license Of one Of these sets,
and their decision is expected to
form the basis Of future rulings
in this important and disturbing
question.
Seal Going Craft
These boats, which carry crews
of around 13 men, are Sea-going
craft, capable Of making voyages
Of 5000 to 5000 miles, and often
remain at sea as long as six
weeks.
The owners of the boats are
Japanese aliens, who are ineligible
for citizenship, and so the boats
may not be documented as a YES
sci of the United States, despite
the fact that they operate out Of
American ports and dispose Of
their catches to American Gamer
les.
The Bureau Of Marine InSpec-
ton and Navigation has ruled
that these boats are technically
alien, and therefore do not come
under its Jurisdiction.
And similarly there has been q
ruling by the japanese consul at
Los Angeles that the Japanese
government has no Jurisdiction
over the craft and hence can not
license a radio station on board
them.
Law Bans Aliens
But the American radio law
provides that no radio station
licenSe-and the transmitting set
on a ship is regarded as a station
shall be granted to or held by
any alien or the representative Of
any alien.
Under this Interpretation Of the
law, it is illegal to operate a radio
transmitter on any of these Japa-
nese fishing craft. But for the
past few years the radios have
been operated through the filing
o a contract, whereby the op-
orator Of the radio, who must be
an American citizen and hold q
Federal license, does not lease the
actual radio to the alien, but
merely leaser the services" Of the
station.
Licenses Granted
The Radio Commission granted
thes- licenses, even though a
strict Interpretation of the law
does not permit such licensing, be-
cause of the need of radio on such
craft to receive weather reports.
fishing and other information,
The case came to the attention
of the commission recently when
application for renewal Of a Ii
cense on one of the boats was
filed. An American citizen who
owns the equipment on the craft
and was formerly it's radio op
orator, wrote the commission
stating that the application
should be disregarded if there was
nything irregular about the ar
rangement of leasing the "Serv
ices" of the set.

On Fifth Day Of Life

ALBA, Iowa, April 3 Q.N.So.
In his fifth day of life, Charles
Peter Johnston, who weighed only
10 ounces at birth, was crying and
kicking much the same as a nor
NAL infant today.
Physicians advanced no claim
that they had the worlds smallest
baby" but said the birth was I'M
usual, and that the child had q
good chance to live. This chance
was in spite of the fact that until
late yesterday the child was kept
alive in an improvised cardboard
incubator heated by a hot water
bottle and two water-filled fruit
jars. Every hour the cotton
wrapped baby is fed a teaspoonful
of its mothers milk and corn
syrup, and a drop of whiskey.
The mother, Eta, IT, remained
at the Johnston flat, an ill-fur-
nished two rooms where the baby
was born. The father, Henry, %,

600 Sitdown Strikers Hold
Ford Plant in Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 3
UN.SO Marking the first United
Automobile Workers strike against
Henry Ford, 600 union Sit-down
strikers today held possession Of
the Ford Motor Company assem-.
bly, plant.
OF the 1,400 workmen, who be.
gan the strike yesterday at closing
time, approximately 600 remained
in the plant overnight and were
served breakfast by a restaurant
across the street, taken over by
strike SympathizerS as a soup
kitchen.
Lay-Off Order Blamed
An announcement that $50 Of
the 1900 workmen employed in
the assembly plant were to be laid
off in order to cut production pre-
cipitated the strike.
Jack T. Swift, union spokesman,
declared only union men were
picked to be laid off. This, he
said, was in violation of a promise
made by the Ford Company last
week that no discrimination would
be shown against members of the
United Automobile Workers. He
continued:
cat 3:15 p. m. the foreman
came down the line and an.
nOunced the company was lay
ing off men. They said there
would be a Is per cent lay0ff.

block during the seven weeks Of
the negotiations.
Return to Work Monday
Because mines do not ordinarily
operate on Saturday under the 35-
hour agreement, operations will be
resumed Monday in the Appala-
chan mines by 300,000 workers.
Close to 10000 in other fields also
will return to work at that time,
while retroactive contracts will be
drawn up along the lines Of the
Eastern agreement, which serves
as a basic contract for the nation.
Both Lewis and Charles P.
ONeill, head negotiator for the
operators, expressed satisfaction
with the new two-year pact.
Both Sides Yield
Lewis said:
Both sides yielded on certain
points. There was a spirit Of
mutual compromise and an ef-
fort to compose the differences
in the industry without q strike"
O'Neill said:
"The contract will mean an
increase of SS5,OOO,OOO annually
to the Eastern miners and will
put them in the forefront of the
wage groups in the country. 1t
will also mean an increase of at
least rs cents a ton in the cost
of mining the coal, but we feel
present conditions justify this.

Bennett Says Ford
Will Not Negotiate

D E i X - 1, ApEu NA'N'O''
Harry Bennett, personnel director
of the Ford Motor Company, today
declared the company would not
negotiate with sit-down strikers IN
the Ford Kansas City plant. He
declared:
II am awaiting q report from
Kansas City now. cannot say
whether will go there myself.
However, I am certain the strike
there will in no way affect the
Detroit Ford plants"
Bennett made his remarks as
he returned to his office this morn
ing after an absence from the city.
This States army Of $4,000
auto strike idle temporarily for
got its own troubles as 1t
watched developments involving
Ford employees on the Kansas
City front.
Richard Frankensteen, chief
organizer for the United Auto
mobile Workers Union, declared
it was his belief the Kansas City
strike was spontaneous and mot
a part of the general campaign
against Ford"
It was learned from sources
within the union that the general
drive against Ford was tentatively
set for late this fall, when Ford
starts production on 1888 models.
However, the Kansas City labor
outbreak was the first strike on
record to directly affect the Ford
Company in the current wave Of
auto industry sit-downs.
The strike-bound Hudson Motor
Company mailed letters to its H.
900 idle workers today, offering
t. pay them "the highest hourly
rate" in the history of that COM
pany, but reiterating that it would
not recognize the United Automo-
bile Workers Union as the sole
collective bargaining agency for
employees.
With sit-downers holding three
Hudson plants here, negotiations
between the company and the
JAW have collapsed.
More than $50 striking auto
mobile workers faced eviction
from their homes today for fail
ure to pay rent. welfare officials
and union leaders worked to-
gether to effect relief for the
strikers.
Commissioner Weideman said
the number of eviction orders
issued within the past few days
is the greatest in 20 years.
