are met"
 Bittner voiced a threat to broad en the. strike to other fields If nec- essary--a threat that CIO Chairman John L. Lewis has declined to dis cuss despite shutting of steel com pany coal mines, efforts to organize steel ore miners and reported prep arations for maritime unions to re- fuse to handle ore to strike-bound companies.
 On the other hand, sources close to the companies declared there was no change in their position. and that they were fighting to maintain Flaw and order" and against signed union contracts demanded by the CIO. Union stoppage- of coal mines selling to strike-affiicted steel com panies would be a direct violation of contract, operators asserted.
 Racing. Against Time
 The mediation board, racing against time and rising temperS to prevent new violence on the strike front, arranged to take up the issue of whether the companies shall sign union contracts at two conferences, starting with Lewis and his aides. Scheduled to follow the labor lead- CTS into the conference room were
 Chairman Tom Girdler, of Repuo- lie Steel; President Eugene G. Grace of Bethlehem; President Frank Pur- nell of Youngstown Sheet and Tube; and Wilfred Sykes, assistant to the president of Inland Steel.
 Mediation Board Chairman Charles P. Taft, IT., Edward Me- Grady and Lloyd K. Garrison di- rected their efforts toward bringing the two groups together on a basis for settlement of the conflict.
 The mediation board had no ad- vance indications from either side that they were prepared to yield an inch in the controversy. But they were hopeful that today's meetings would make progress toward joint session of unionists and company officials, despite Girdler's recent re- mark that he hoped ito God never" meet Lewis.
 Strike Front Developments
 Meanwhile, the strike front deyel- opments were:
 Bethlehem Steel Corporation closed its big Cambria plant at Johnstown, Pa, on orders of Gov. George H. Earle, who said he acted to prevent "bloodshed" at the mill which has an estimated daily pay roll of $100,oD0. Modified martial law was in effect. Earle said solll- ton of the strike was in the hands of the federal board. Strike leaders, meanwhile, intimated Bethlehem might have strikes at its other pig mills in Pennsylvania and Maryland.
 The Teamsters and Chauffeurs union at Youngstown called strike of 1900 truck drivers to protest "po- lice tactics" in Saturday nights rioting which killed two pickets and wounded 31, including Mary Heaton Worse, writer and lecturer. The three -hour pitched battle outside the Republic mills was blamed by police on advance" plotting by strikers while union leaders charged a police attack on pickets started the fighting in which tear gas, guns and stones were used.
 Back -to-work leaders at Canton and Youngstown announced that their plans to attempt to break picket lines would be put into effect as soon as city officials provided adequate protection.

 James Eperjeski, CIO picket, died of buckshot wounds in the right chest and arm. Joseph Bujo- vich, picket was shot dead during the clash in which 31 others were wounded and many overcome by tear gas.
 The fighting ragged for three hours as some 300 peace officers and hum dreds of demonstrators battled with stones, clubs and guns. Five deputy sheriffs were wounded.
 Police claimed that strikers plan- ned the disorder in advance, while unionists charged police with start ing the fight by attacking a group

FRANCE TRYING
 TO AVERT STRIKE

Continued from Page D strong government was. formed at once. Chautemps was charged with the delicate task of forming gov- ernment to succeed the left front coalition that took office June 5, 1886.
 Blum Beaten in Senate
 Blum'S fate was settled by the firm refusal of the 1914 old men" of the senate He sought sweeping powers to deal with the financial and currency situation, to raise rev. enue and stop the flight of capital. The chamber, with a comfortable left front majority, support Blum. But the senate again and again re- fused to give him the powers he sought, even though they would have extended only until July 31
 Blum had not made the vote a matter of confidence. But he called his cabinet into session just before midnight last night. While the cab inet was meeting, the senate passed by a vote of 198 to 82 it's own emergency powers bill, limiting Blum's authority rigidly.
 The left front men decided to resign. Blum called into consulta- tion chiefs of parliamentary groups in his popular front and, explain ing his reasons for resigning, sought to prevent manifestations. The chiefs in turn sought this morning to calm their supporters and to persuade Leon Johaux, the militant, powerful general federa- ton of labor leader, to keep his meen quiet.
 Could Not Carry On
 Blum explained to Lebru that he could not carry on without the pow CTS he sought, particularly because he felt it necessary to force the re- turn to the country of 60,00o, ,000, ,0o0 francs ($2,700, 0,000,00O of exported capital.
 Lebrun accepted the resignation and said he would seek to have a new government installed in office before nightfall.
 Blum in a statement explaining his action said:
 We appeal to those citizens throughout France grouped in the popular front to keep cool heads The transfer of power must be ae- complished absolutely calmly and peacefully according to the repuh- lies laws. The nations interest de- mands that. We beg our supporters throughout France to give this new proof of confidence"
 Minister of Interior Marx Dormoy made urgent telephone calls to key labor union leaders urging them to heed the appeal for peace.
 One Bit of Joy
 It was in many ways bad week. end for the popular front. But there was one most important com pensatory development-the defeat of Jacques Doriot, now the out standing fascist leader, in a bye election.
 The government recently dismiss- ed Doriot from his post of mayor of his political stronghold, the St.. Dennis suburb. It charged irergular- ities in ofiice. Yesterday there was an election for five municipal ceun- cillors in the suburbs. It was 8 test of confidence in Doriot. The Doriot ticket obtained 6,968 to the $10,524 for the popular front ticket. It was an anti-fascist landslide re- garded here as of equal importance to the recent defeat of Leon De- grelle, Belgian fascist leader. So severe was the defeat that Doriet early today resigned his seat in the chamber of deputies.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-21

Taft said that the board had studied various peace formulas and presumably these will be presented to the cOnferees in an effort to work out method for ending the conflict over whether the companies shall aign union contract.
 Meanwhile, greatest activity on the strike front was at Youngs- town, scene of a riot that killed two pickets Saturday night. A part ly-eaectiVe sympathy strike ct truckers. meetings of citizens law and order leaders and a statement that back-to-work march will start Tuesday kept that strike center tense.
 Back -tO- Work Threat
 At Youngstown, Ray L. Thomas. spokesman for a back-to-work movement, asserted that plans now called for an attempt to reopen the big Republic plants there at 2 a. m. Tuesday.
 Strike leaders doubled the hours of duty of pickets, local s. w. O. o. representatives had threatened. a general strike attempt in the Mai1o- ming valley area should the picket lines be broken.
 These developments along the strike front impelled the mediation board to work as rapidly as possible. In the first conference, in addition to Lewis and Murray were Van A. Bittner, regional strike director, John Owens, Ohio director, David Watkins, director of the Johnstown, Pa, area, and Lee Pressman, c. l. O. counsel.
 Bittner on the eve of the confer ence cried a challenge to mass meeting that:
 Haven't Yet Started
 We haven't yet started to strike. The 100000 United Mine Workers will be called out--the United Auto- mobile Workers will refuse to handle scab steel unless our terms

Official Arrived Time

OLhCldA fAlIlVCA
 The main nationalists force par aded into the city in full was pam oply at p. m. yesterday and this was made the official time of oc- culation. Gen. Francisco Franco, nationalist dictator; Gen. Davila and a group of colleagues attended mass in the suburb of Begona. Fran co did not enter the city, however.
 Nationalist soldiers arrived all through the day, parading to cheers past people dressed in their best clothes. The seven main bridges across the Nervion river that runs through the city had been dynamic ed, and the nationalist made emer- gency bridges with barges. Trucks arrived with white bread and other food with which the nationalists intend to win favor among the ill., nourished people who withstood the siege of Il weeks.
 Refugees Struggle Bad
 Some refugees struggled back into the city, including Basque soldiers in uniform who sought to join the nationalists. Aviators reported that thebulk of the retreating loyalist army was moving steadily westward, miles from Bilboa. The city was without water, gas, electric or trans port supplies. There were heaps of smashed glass and garbage in the streets, including dead dogs and cats. People eagerly sought the food the nationalists brought. Two girls, well dressed, stopped me and a col league and commented hungrily on the cheese sandwich my colleague had. They accepted it gladly. It looked as if there was going to be a serious situation soon in the San lander area, with 100000 inhabit- ants, soldiers and refugees jammed in along the narrow coast area, which is an unproductive one.

 One Man At. Controls
 yaleri Chkalov sat at the con- trols throughout the entire trip.
 His companions were G. P. Baid- ukuv and A. V. Beliakov, co-pilot and navigator, who helped direct the plane over an uncharted course on- to a strange continent without once losing the route.
 Shkaiov said he believed they passed within 20 miles of the North Pole but they made no contact with the Russian Arctic Observation post which was established at the pole earlier this year to gather wea- ther information that possibly will be used in establishing regular serv- ice between Russia and the United States over the top of the globe.
 The worst mishap of the trip, the pilot said, was when their drinking water froze in the arctic. They had to quench their thirst by sipping pieces of ice, and their first request on landing was for water.
 Over the Boring Sea, ice formed on the wings of the plane.
 Landed UnannOunced
 They also asked for cognac. when they landed unannounced at 8:22 a. m. (PST) Sunday. and Brigadier General George Marshall, Scom- mandant of Pearson field, produced the cognac while Mrs. Marshall cooked bacon and eggs for the hun gry guests.
 Not until the instruments of their plane had been sealed for official in spection later. would the three grim ming young men leave the spot. They stood, draped in fur lined coats and leg pads and wearing runpled caps, waiting patiently for an interpreter, who chanced to be an ROTC cadet with knowledge of the language.
 The flight started at ADS a.. m. Friday, Moscow time (5:05 D. m.. PST) blut it was not until g hours later that 1t was announced to the world.
 Sir Hubert Wilkins
 London, June 21-(UP)-Sir Hu- bert Wilkins, Arctic explorer, said to- day that the Soviet flight to the United States demonstrates the practicability of Polar air routes"
 Such routes, he said, have two great advantages over other ocean ruuteS-better weather and ice to land on if the necessity arises.
 'The distance between suitable landing places along the polar routes is not very great" he said, and is well within the capacity of modern, highly efficient engines"
 Rear Admiral Byrd
 Boston, June 21 -(UP)- Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, only man to fly over both north and south poles, today described the successful Moscow-to-Va Vancouver flight by three Russian flyers as unsurpassed in the history of aviation"

 Union headquarters ordered steel strike pickets to double their hours of daily duty to 16 as back-to-work march leaders persisted in their de- mands for reopening the plants.
 Police Chiefs Story
 Police Chief Carl L. Olson said in a formal statement that tear gas was not used at any time until after pickets began to attack police. He added, police did not shoot bullets at any time during the riot"
 Mrs. Mary Heaton Worse, writer and lecturer, said she suffered a temple wound when she went into the riot area after police were sup posed to have the situation in con- trol. She said a truck load of depu- ties began firing gas at shadowy fig ures ahead of them and then fired on either side.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
NEW DEAL PROPAGANDA

The Macon citizen who has put Scent stamp
on letter instead of 2-cent stamp should realize
that this is due in part, to the fact that the New
Deal at Washington is now spending fifty-four
million dollars year in propaganda. 1t is using
the money of the taxpayers to win those same tax
PAYERS over to endorsement of such things as the
presidents plea for power to pack the supreme
court of the United States.
Representative John Tabor, of New York, has
lust brought out some astonishing facts in this
connection. During the committee hearing on the
postoffice supply bill it revealed that twenty
million dollars a year was now being spent Tor
printing this official propaganda, and ne might
have added parenthetically that most of 1t was
written by press agents who function absolutely IN
violation of plain provision of law
Mr. Taber also brought out the fact that the
use of the frankng privilege has risen in the past
four years under the Roosevelt administrator
from an average of around nine million dollars
wear to more than thirty-four million dollars
year.
The printing bill is exactly twice what it was
before the Roosevelt administration came into
power.
1t is estimated that the cost of franking the
mail of members of congress amounts to only about
S75O,OOO year, about per cent OF the total
reported Tor the enIlIe government
The remaining 100000 was used last year,
as officially reported by the postoffce department,
by the executive branches of the government.
All this is not surprising to the average editor
who has to spend about half of every morning
throwing New Deal propaganda into the waste bas-
ket and there is plenty of it going to individuals,
as you probably know.
If some stuffed shirt of New Deal congressman
were to be able to get up in the house and show
that the United States Chamber of Commerce was
spending ffty-four million dollars year Tor propa-
panda, although paying it out of his own treasury
and supplied by voluntary contributions, ne would
deafen heaven with his protests And yet these
Brain Trusters, who mostly selling patent medi-
cine nostrums to an innocent and long-sutterng
public, can fill the United States mails with NIFTY
four million dollars worth of misleading and often
downright mendacious arguments IN favor OF ther
pet measures including pleas for the right to raw
ish the supreme court of the United States.

facts about unemployment-that is clear
but no doubt so much is suspected in
that connection that the administration
does know that it cannot afford to gather
the facts and make them public.
And so the footing of the public treas
ury continues; and the money of the tax
payers by the billion is distributed to at
least hundreds of thousands of undeserv-
ing wards of the old deal in new guise.
The bill, together with other spendings,
has reached the stupendous sum of four
teen billions of borrowed money - and
every person who earns dollar in the fu-
ture is going to be saddled with the back
breaking burden of paying both principal
and interest of this vast sum.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WJASHINGTON-Thcrc is still
w some question whether the
New Deal, in time, will wear
down Mr.. James H. Rand, Jr., or
whether, in time, Mr.. Rand will
wear down the New Deal.
It's a battle between two tough
customers which has been going
on ever since Mr.. Rand sponsored
the appearance of a certain DR..
Writ before a House committee,
and subsequently opened lengthy
running attack on administration
monetary policies.
If Mr.. Rand were an ordinary
man, as neither his best friends nor
worst enemies would suggest, he
would have to be considered the
furthermoSt out of all the indus
trialiStS who were left out on a
limb by the Supreme Courts val
idation of the Wagner labor rela-
tons act.
The decision seemed to nail
down the National Labor Rela-
tons Boards order that Reming-
ton-Rand, Inc, reinState 1000
striking employees, pay moving eX-
penSeS in instances where Rand
had moved plants to other cities
as a means of baking the union,
and reinstate with back pay nu-
merouS employees allegedly fired
for union activity.
While bordering over that one,
MIR. Rand was indicted for alleged
violation of the New Deal law
prohibiting importation of strike
breakers from one state to anoth-
er. One would hate to mention a
federal prison and so distinguished
an industrial magnate as Mr.,
Rand in the same breath, but the
raw, naked fact is that the law
does say something about a pos
sible couple of years incarcera-
ton. Mr.. Pearl Bergoff, notorious
liking of strikebreakers." is a Co
defendant.
Meanwhile, lest you suppose
that were all the New Deal trou-
Bile Mr.. Rand was having, the
government has stopped buying
