VOTE AGAINST
FARLEYQUIz
International News serrice


Charging the Senate Postoffice
Committees refusal to question
Postmaster General Farley regard
ing alleged interference with the
mails by strikers in the steel strike
areas "a disgraceful performance,
Senator Bridges (R) Of New
Hampshire, said today he will
carry the issue to the floor Of the
Senate.
While he struck out against
Farley another Cabinet member
Secretary of Labor Frances Per.
kins-was attacked in a speech in
the House by Representative Cox
CD Of Georgia. He asSailed her
suggestion to Governor Davey, of
Ohio, to use the States power of
subpoena to bring all the parties
concerned in steel strike together.
To Question Farley
The committee voted IL to 3 to
suspend the inquiry. Bridges said
he will publicly question Farley
from the floor of the Senate within
q few days. He outlined the in.
quiry as follows:
II want to inquire, among
other things, whether the fact
that Mr.. John L. Lewis, through
the United Mine Workers, an
affiliate of the C. /. O., con-
tributed between four and five
hundred thousand dollars to the
last Democratic campaign had
anything to do with his order
that food and clothing could not
be sent through the mails to
workers in the plants"
Bridges said he also wanted to
inquire under what conditions
Farley, as chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic COMMITTEES,
borrowed $4,000 from Mr.. Lewis
c. I. o. affiliate, when he is COM
PEELED to repay it, if compelled at
all, and whether this order Of Mr..
Farley as Postmaster General had
anything to do with the loan"
He added:
"The American people and
the Senate are entitled to know
by what authority part of the
service has been discontinued
and how he reached a decision
on what should be excluded
from the mails. Mr.. Farley was
the one witness above any other
in this. nation who should be
called upon to testify in such an
investigation"
PERKINS ASSAILED
The committee turned over to
the Senate Civil Liberties Commit
tee the resolution authorizing a
sweeping investigation of all
phases of industrial strife in the
strike zones. It was offered as
an amendment to the Bridges
amendment, calling for the mail
inquiry by Senator Guffey 3D. OF
Pennsylvania.
Cox told the House Secretary
Perkins suggestions that the dis.
putting parties in the strike be
forced to get together under State
subpoenaS sis one Of the most
shocking incidents that has taken
place in years."
"WhiIe we did not need this
statement to know that the Sec.
rotary approves Of violence un-
der certain circumstances, we
were not prepared to expect the
advocacy of dureSs and extOr-
ton from one standing so high
in the Administration"

Born in St. Paul. Minnesota, of Czech parents, Blanche Yurka was early lmbued with Q great love for music. As c child she had private tutors in music, singing, acting, and languages. In her early teens, she was brought to New York for c more intensive training, but there she found herself becoming more interested in the theater than in her musical career.
 With her decision to seek her career In the thcater, Miss Yurka determined to reach the man who stood for the best in that field. "f always felt it's no harder to reach the great ones than the near great" she says. So she managed, through sheer persistence, to break through the wall of secretaries and hench- men who defended the Sanctum of David Belaseo, and began her career under the great man as general understudy.
 Miss Yurka soon began to appear in the usual series of bits, which led to roles opposite E. II. Sothern and John Barrymore. Her first im- portant success. however, was as the leading woman in "Daybreak," c play by Jane Cowl and Jane Mur. fin.
 She has appeared In three pro- ductions of the New York Theatre Guild and had the lead in Jean Barts "The Squall." She enjoys do- ing the plays of 1bson and one of her greatest triumphs came while playing the role of Gina" in his "Wild Duck"
