UNITED STATES
 ALOOF FROM WAR

washington, July 2i-(UP)-The size of the American national debt Is an adequate answer to the ques- ton of where the United States stands regarding warlike prepara- lions and threats in other parts of the world, high state department ofiicials asserted today.
 Asked concerning this govern rnent,s position and policy in the sino- Japanese crisis, the Spanish civil war, the British governments demand for . continuous open sea- vay through the Mediterranean. and other foreign situations wherein war is threatened, these onicials said:
 4Our national debt today stands at thirty-six billion doilars!"
 The attitude and position of the United states, these officials reiter- ated, can be summed up in that one statement. Any definite action by this country to attempt to settle European or Asiatic quarreis would double or triple" the total of the natiensl debt In Q very short time, they said.
 Any concrete action. even to pro- tect overseas trade routes, foreign trade or the interests of American nationals abroad, must be very care fully considered in view of the financial consideration. officials said, They indicated that the American policy of wait and see" is more firmly entrenched than at any time in recent years.

WOMEN URGED
 INTO POLITICS
Should Seek Position of Importance; Federation
 to Keep Outside

Atlantic City, N. J., July 2i-- (UP)--Business and professional women were urged today to seek positions of importance" in politi- cal parties in order to accomplish "the fundamental purposes" of their federation.
 Political opportunities open to women were outlined at the con- vention of the National Federation of Business and Professional Wo- men'sclubs by the organizations committee on political techniqnes, headed by Kathryqn Starbuck vol Saratoga Springs, N. Y,
 Remain Non.Political
 The report said the federation It. self should remain q non political organization but that its members should attempt to gain important positions in all political partis" in order to "permeate every political party with the ideals and practices of good government that we have learned through our federation work"
 Women in such positions, the re- port continued, should never be under the slightest suspicion of ac- tivity incompatible with loyal fed- eration membership"
 Mrs. Dorothy Dunn of Washing ton, D. O., chairman of the legis- lative committee, urged that fed- eration members constantly watch all types and kinds of legislation introduced into state legislatures. "
 Legislative Program
 The federation's 1sS7-3S legisla- tive program, she said, included:
 1. Opposition to "discriminations against business and professional women, including the clerical classi- ficationfi with emphasis on the re- peal of section 2l3 of the national economy act"
 2. Extension of the merit system, adequate support for the wptnen's and children's bureaus, and support of public education including fed- eral aid.

Hard Feelings Over
 Board Battle Looms
Warden Feels He Should Have Had Support of Welfare
 Board in Barring Business Men From Town Hall

seem likely. Warden Sheridan feels he should have had the support of the members of the welfare board in his attitude that the town hall offices are DOT persons handling the ofiicial business of the town and not for private business men.
 It was the first time in many months that Warden Sheridan hes exhibited real anger at . meeting of the welfare board. Usually the meetings of the board are haymon- ious, but the session Monday night was exactly the reverse of this. Those supporting the rental of the office to MT. Pasho take the view that as the theater is leased, 1t Is perfectly all right to obtain more revenue for the town by leasing an office. They also point out the Nau- gatuck Building and Loan associa- tion has an office in the bottom floor of the building. This ass0cia- tion is a private firm.
 The whole issue reverts back to the question of whether or not 1t Is legal to lease any part of the towY, hall to any private business man. When the question of renewing Mir Pasho's lease on the theater came up seveal years ago, an opinion from the borough attorney was re- quested. Martin E. Gormley, boro- ugh attorney then, after investi- gation gave his opinion taht 1t could be leased and cited Maine court case to suhstaatiate this opinion However although the lease was ap- proved, a minority of members ot the board did not agree with this.
 Bone of Contention
 Since then it has been a bone of There have been many discussions among local residents on the question of whether the theater can be rented or not. About a year ago Mir. Pasho asked the town to buy new seats for the theater and offered at the end of 10 years tn turn these over to the town. This suggestion was turned down by the 
 board.
 MT. Pasho's lease runs until next year and he has the privilege of renewal at an increase in the ren- tai rate. However the lease is such that if the town wishes at any time to refuse to continue renting the theater, it could.
 The surprise in Mondays meeting was the apparent direct conflict bee tween the warden and Richard Dur kin, who has been c staunch demo- crat for many years and Is first ward committee chairman.
 Mir. Durkin has long been an ad- vocate of increased revenue for the town through rental of the theatsf and his stand concerning the Cfiice is in keeping with his former views.

Chicago, July 21-(UP) = States attorneys planned today to press criminal conspiracy charges against GA men on the basis of a coroner's jury finding of "justifiable ,homi- eide" in the fatal riots before the South Chicago Republic Steel Com pany plant May 30. Defendants in the criminal conspiracy cases were arrested shortly after 10 ment were killed by police in the battle with steel strikers and sympathizers. Judge Frank M. Padden of felony court continued the cases until July 23.

We will continue our investigation to obtain further evil dence in lagal proof of these charg- es." The Chicago citizens rights committee charged the inquest and it's finding was "a blatant attempt to confuse the public mind"

GENERAL MOTORS
 SEEKS GUARANTEE

New York, July 2l-(UP)-The General Motors Corporation aa- nounced today that the United Au- tomobile Workers Union must pro- vide guarantees against unauthor. ized strikes before negotiations could be started on other phases of the company-union contract.
 Replying to @ letter from Homer Martin, union president, which placed blame for the strikes on the grievance procedure set up in the original contract, William 6. Knud- sen, General Motors president, said 1t was obvious that 1t Is not the grievance procedure which is re- sponsible for the failure of the union to keep its agreement"
 Knudsen suggested that a clari- flying clause be inserted in the con- tract to give the company the right to discharge any employe respon- sible for an unauthorized strike and to permit termination of the con- tract if the union did not act to prevent strikes,
