FIFTY TOURISTS
 SEE EXECUTIONS

Peiping, China. April 6.-UP)- Fifty tourists from the world cruise liner Reliance, sightseeing at the famous Temple of Heaven, watched honor stricken today while soldiers marched six drug peddlers to a wall and shot them one by one. Men and women, the tourists were chat ting and laughing in groups at the temple. They turned at the tramp of feet to see the six peddlers arms bound behind them, approach under their armed escort.
 The soldiers, arrived at a wall, forced the peddlers to kneel in a row. They drew pistols and shot them through the backs of the heads at 10-second intervals at a range of 10 inches. One required a second shot. Most of the tourists were too astounded to cry out. One fash- ionable dressed young woman groaned as the bodies pitched weird- ly and Topped in the dust. The exe- cutions over, the tourists with drawn faces walked to their motor cars and drove off.

LIEUT.. OF LEWIS
 AT WASHINGTON
John BrOphy Makes Offer to Congress to End
 Sit=DOWn Strikes
Bv C.L. suLzBERaER

Oy Ns A1s OOAA<A1ASAN~AN<AV United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, April 6-UP)-John Brophy, in behalf fo the committee for industrial organization, offered today to aid in ending all Sit-down strikes. Brophy's offer was condi- tional. He said the c. I. o. would do its best to stamp out sit-down strikes in industries where satisfactory union agreements have been ob- tained. The Brophy statement was timed to accompany action in both house and senate on Sit-down strikes. House leaders prepared to bring up for consideration Thurs day resolution proposing an inves- tigation of the Sit-down strike tech- nique. Passage was predicted.
 Move to Outlaw Them
 Rep. Clare E. Hoffman, R., Mich, introduced a bill which would bring labor unions under strict federal regulation. It was move to outlaw sit-doWn strikes. The senate, it was believed, will resume debate tomor- row on a resolution condemhing sit- down strikes affecting interstate commerce. An anti-sit-down strike amendment to the Guffey coal bill was rejected yesterday 48 to 36. Wherever an agreement has been entered into by an employer with the committee for industrial organi- zation or any of its affiliates-that contract will be maintained" Bro- phy said.
 Needless Hysteria
 The gray-haired lieutenant of John L. Lewis criticized needless hys- teria" concerning labor's newest weapon which has been employed largely by c. I. o. unions. He said:
 1. That the Lewis committee would do its best to uphold its half of agreements by regular demo- cratic procedure" and that this was difficult only in unions which have a short collective-bargaining history due to "repressive tactics" of em- ployers.
 2. That the sit-doWn is legal and ethical in industries where labor cannot unionize because of unfair repression, discrimination and es- pionage."
 3. That the wave of sit-doWn strikes will be eliminated if the Lewis program of organizing mass production industries is successful.
 Ideal Relationship
 He outlined an ideal" relation ship between employers and em- ployes, based upon such conferences as that which ended brief stop page of work in bitmuninous coal areas last week.
 He said that, if unions are allowed to represent workers on an indus try-wide basis, they would sign con- tracts for a definite period of time and stick by them"
 Senate defeat of the Byrnes amendment declaring sit = down strikes contrary to public policy, prevented house debate on the same issue. By passing the investiga- tion resolution, many house mem bers hope to sidetrack a vote on legality of sit-down strikes.
