 In his letter to Premier Van zee- land, King Leopold said.
 "When one thinks over the state of Reorganization In which hu- manity Is plunged c feeling of deep anxiety makes the future appear very somber. Therefore 1t is nec- essary to encourage with oil force and conviction any organiza ton that aims at raising the earthly spirit toward some ideal of human solidarity.
 Docs not this consideration lend more importance to the mission Great Britain and France entrusted to you and which reaches beyond tho limits previously foreseen, since it may lead to research into the elements and rational organization of world eoonomy2
 Triple Characteristics
 "It would be essential to effect creation of an organization for study, whose economical value would Do marked by It's triple char. aeteriSticS -- universality, perma. hence, independence. Research into tho clements and organization Of universal economy, and continuous adaptation of this organization to constant variations Of economical factors would be the objects for studies of this institution.
 Tn order that the proposed in. stitution might accomplish It's mis- sion, it would have to be as inde- pendent as possible Of national in- auence. Undoubtedly 1t would be very difficult to Isolate world eco- homie from political contingencies.
 "under these conditions 1t would Do of the utmost importance for the proposed institution to have the collaboration of persons who, spread over the whole world, would know best problems relating to industry, commerce, agriculture, finance, la- Dor.
 Lower Customs Barriers
 Lowering of customs barriers, no more than any other partial meas ure, would put an end to the disor. derS which threaten peace. If we arc really to avoid war and bring back humanity to Q more peaceful sentiment, we must have the cour- age to face economical questions in general and find solution for these great problems which threaten the whole world.

 See Pen of Mussollni
 MuSSolini himself frequently writes important editorials for his newspaper, and many observers saw In the pungcnt phrases of today's article hte pen of Il Duce.
 The editorial was chiefly con- cerned with demanding that the Spanish nationaliSts be granted bel- ligerent rights in the civil war. De- lending MussolinPs refusal to dis cuss the question of withdrawal of foreign volunteers until recognition was granted, the editorial said:
 The problem of volunteers-prac- ticaily does not exist. By not send. ing additional volunteers, 1t is clear that the problem would reach c so- lution through the terrible usury Of war"-through the killing of of the volunteers, presumably includ- ing the Italian participants.
 "On the other hand the problem of non-recognition of belligerent rights for the nationalists Is of such nature that 1t entangles all things which Q simple recognition of belligerency would simplify in @ radical manner.
 Franco Hall All Best of Spain

 There are not only noblemen and priests backing General Fran cisco Franco" he could have added that backing Franco there is ali of the best of Spain, today and tomor- row.
 Meanwhile nations continue to consider Franco a rebel general. They pretend and plead that the true government of Spain is Valen- cia (the loyalists) which is gov- erned by Moscow"

 It was reported that Rep. Martin Dies, d., Tex, headed Q bloc of 270 congressrnen who favored action to require-either by statute or con- stitutional ainendment--a two-thirds ma jority of the supreme court to override acts of congress. General belief, however, was that such . move could not pass the senate ct this session.
 Vandenberg Draws Fire
 The Vandenberg amendments, in- tended to "equalise" the labor rela- tionS law by permitting employers as well aS employees to invoke the use Of the national labor relations board and requiring signed cons tracts for all labor agreements, drew immediate fire from Black.
 Vandenherg said he will press for enactment of his amendments on the theory that not one but oil the parties to the labor "traftic prob- lem" should be regulated.
 On the theory that shorter hours and . minimum wage would raise the price of products manufactured in this country, the Lodge amend- ment proposes that importations be limited to . fixed quota set by the U. g. tariff commission at the aver. age incoming volume during the five years previous to enactment of the bill.
 Imports in excess of that amount would be barred unless the labor standards board finds that the working conditions in the country of origin measure up to those in the United States.

Organizers Philip Brainard and Alex Cashin said today that 1t was their intention to inform the mem- bers tomorrow, the total number of which, incidentally, they would not disclose, that the local union has, in eight months time, been recog- nized by several local plants In ver- bal or written agreements. We inc tend to publish this outline of the unions activities as sort of be- lated semi-annual report" said MT. cashin today. He then proceeded to onumerate the agreements which had been reached.
 List of Agreements
 They are, in brief, as follows: Recognition of the local union as sole bargaining agency for It's mem- bers from the American Brass O., through Vice-President Clark S, Judd; Q long agreement in letter form from the management of the Shoe Hardware O., U. s. Rubber Go. subsidiary; written agreement for the Scovill Co.,, carpenters, sign ed by John II. doss; an agreement with the Chase Go. to deal with them on grievances which might arise in the Waterbury Mfg. Co.,; after several sessions with John H.. doss, verbal agreement in rec gard to seniority rights of union members employed In the North Mill of the scoVill Co.,; an agree. ment with the management of the Waterbury Buckle O., after lego- tiations, their subsequent failure and Q three weeks strike; a con- tract between the union and the Waterbury Battery Go. management, announced yesterday.

 Although Barkley said he would confer next week on the status Of executive department reorgani2a- ton proposals, there appeared to be little or no chance of action on that controversial Issue ct this session.
 Substitute Court
 The substitute court bill being drafted by Q judiciary subeommit- tee headed by MeCarran to replace the abandoned supreme court pro- gram was scheduled to be completed about Thursday of next week, if not earlier.

 station proprietor, and Mrs. Nettie Burtt, hotel chamherma!d.
 Batcheldor has told police that he sold gasoline to 6 man answering Elders description the night of the alleged assault, while Mrs. Burtt has said, according to police, that half the Elders double bed at the hotel did not appear to have been slept in.
 The defense probably will open Monday afternoon with at least eight witnesses expected to be called, in. cluding Elder himself, Mrs. Elder and Miss Evelyn Dill, Elders secre- tary ct Mount Hermon.
 Norton Saw Kissing
 Miss Dill's name was brought into the trial yesterday by Norton, who testified that he punched . hole In the wall between their offices at Mount Hermon and saw Elder "kiB and embrace" the secretary.
 After telling of the assault that put me in terror for my life," Nor. ton devoted much of his testimony yesterday to his ng-smoulding "feud" with Elder at Mount Her. mon-scene of the still-unsolved shotgun staying of Headmaster El- liott Speer in September 1884.
 "Differences" existed for 10 to l2 Of the % years they were aSsoci- ated at Mount Hermon, Norton tes- tiled.
 Under examination, he in. dicated that one cause was Elders gradual assumption of the duties of his brother, vice-principai of Mount Hermon, and lone small" iiterfer. ence with his own department.
 Feud Climaxed In 1880
 The "feud" apparently was cliin- axed in 1880 by the "kiss-hug" episode, which Norton said he re- ported to the then Headmaster Henry Franklin Cutler. Subsequent ly. Norton said, he, MT. and Mrs Elder and Dr. Cutler met in the latter's office, where the former Dean denied the incident.
 Later Elder, Norton and Dr. Cut Ter knelt in the office prayed for forgiveness. Norton said. Other Witnesses
 Other witness yesterday were Q state police photographer, three Greenfield police officers who rec sponded to Norton's call for aid the night of the alleged assault, @ maid in an adjoining house who saw @ man "in a long coat" point 8 gun at Norton's house, run across the lawn and drive away in an automo- bile, and a neighbor who saw suspicious" car cruising near Nor- tons home before the alleged at- tack.
 Elder has been indicated on charges of assault with intent to kill and assault putting Norton "in fear of bodily harm."
 Since his resignation from Mount Hermon shortly after Dr. Speer's murder, Elder has operated a popu- try farm at Alton Bay, N. H. Nor. ton moved here following his re- tirement year ago after 25 years as Mount Hermon cashier.

 What Neary Says
 Reached by telephone ct c hotel, Weary said:
 "The district attorneys once in New York was thinking of sending someone up here to talk with Mrs. Crater, but when they learned l was here they asked me to see her.
 T will see Mrs. Crater sometime during the day if she hasn't left her camp. I may see her this afternoon, but it's possible I may be able to talk with her this morning. Other. wise, I'll try and talk with her to. morrow"
 Procedure Secret
 Weary refused to disclose the pro. cedure he would follow in the case that has baffled investigators since Justice Crater vanished on the night of Aug. 6, io30.
 Arrangements to have Weary in. terview Mrs. Crater were made after she was understood to have declined to go to New York and discuss the case with District Attorney William 0. Dodge because shc had told "ali l know"
 Dodge reopened the case Thurs day as c result of published gtate- rnents that Mrs. Crater believed her husbands activities aJ Q Tammany Hall judge led to his death.
 No Death Evidence
 Tn their long investigation, police have been unable to uncover evi- den:s that the jurist Is dead. Some detectives on the case have the. orized that Crater was murdered, others have advanced the theory that he may have been c suicide and still others believed he fled volun. tarily and is in hiding somewhere.

What's in a barrel Of crude oil?
completely and satisfactorily, for
a barrel of oil really Is a treasure
trove still being fathomed by
scientific research. Even today
pages would be needed to list the
products derived from crude, a
product which. in itself. has little
use.
The touch of the technologist's
magic really has transformed the
barrel of crude into something
quite different from the day 1t
was produced to obtain a few gal
Ions of kerosine, or a can-ful OF
lubricating oil. In 1886, for In
stance, the 42-gallon barrel OF
crude yielded more than ID gal
Ions of gasoline and naphtha, two
gallons Of kerosine. l6 gallons OF
gas oil and fuel oil. better than
one gallon of lubricating oil, and
a number of other products, many
of them used by every person In!
today's civilized world!
