WASHINGTON, May "a.
(UP)-President Roosevelt
today called upon congress
to extend the frontiers of
social progress by restrict
ing child labor and enacting flex-
ible standards for minimum wages
and maximum hours.
In message to congress he pro-
posed that "only the goods which
have been produced under con-
ditions which meet the minimum
standards of free labor shall be
admitted to interstate commerce"
The president said other goods
should be regarded as contra
band. Although he emphasized the
flexible nature of approach to reg
ulation of industrial working con-
ditions, the president said the
''rudimentary' standards now pro-
posed would fall far short of the
ideal.
Congressional leaders moved i'm
mediately to lay before both houses
legislation designed to effect Mr..
Roosevelt's program.
Mr.. Roosevelt's message was, in
effect, a challenge to the courts
to deny the right of government
to deal with labor conditions. He
said his plan was within the COM
mon sense framework and pur-
pose" of the constitution"
Neither his message nor propos-
ed legislation SO far revealed Stip-
ulated exact maximum work week
or minimum wage levels.
That is for the labor board to
decide" explained Chairman Will
liam P. Connery of the house Ia
Dor committee. But Senator Black
and l are deSiriouS to make the
maximum hours requirement 30 per
week"
The president emphasized that
his plan not only was to bolster
living standards of industrial
workers but to widen farm mar
ketS.
While Mr.. RooSevelt's proposal
was being presented to congress.
the supreme court announced OPP
Mons upholding the governments

ment insurance legislation and the

law.
with the establishment of these
rudlmentary standards as base
Mr.. Roosevelt'S message continued,
I'VE must seek to build up, through
appropriate administrative mach
inery minimum wage standards of
fairness and reasonableness indus
try having due regard to local and
geographical diversities and to the
effect of unfair labor conditions
upon competition in interstate
trade and upon the maintenance
of industrial peace"
The president called upon states
to cooperate in his program. To
congress and public he reiterated
his statement that one third of
the population Is "ill nourished,
i'll clad and i'll housed"

LONDON, May IL G.N.S)-The
Duke and Duchess of Kent will be
allowed to attend the wedding OF

their presence does not tarnish
the luster Of King Georges new
crown.
His Majesty's ministers will

the Duke of Kent after careful

involved-personal and political
strongly desires to make the trip
to France to see his eldest brother
united with Mrs. Wallis Warfield.
The wedding is not expected to
be held before early June, accord
ing to the couples friends. This
is intended to give the government
a reasonable period to test the
Kings popularity and to allow
enough time to elapse so that the
Dukes visit as the representative
Of the House of Windsor will not
look too abrupt.
The Government was disturbed
for long time at the possible re-
action on British public opinion
to the presence of a member of
the royal family at the culmina-
ton Of a romance which almost
brought disaster, in their opinion,
to the throne.
The government is anxious to
see how the public reacts to the
new King and if the sentiment
leading up to the coronation will
prevail.
