WAIT ON ICKES

Cafe workers employed in, Fed
eral building cafeterias, VINO have
been fighting for two months for
better working conditions, are to
day expecting q statement from
Secretary Harold Ickes, under
whose department the cafeterias
function, regarding the dispute.
Meanwhile, the announced strike
and picket line which was to have
been thrown around the Govern
ment buildings yesterday, has been
held off on advice Of union head
quarters pending IckeS' statement.
The employees, who are directly
under the welfare and Recreation
Association, are members of the
United Cafeteria Employees Union,
affiliated with the CIO.
The workers contend the Wei
fare Association has been "stal-
ling' and has violated the labor
relations law by withholding rec
ognition of the union as q bar
gaining agent.
Meanwhile, another meeting of
the workers union representatives
has been called for Friday night
to discuss further plans.

Reading Course
Tried at BOWdOin

BRUNSWICK, Me-, May II.
Bowdoin College has decided to ex-
pertinent with a reading period in
certain courses composed pre-
dominantly of seniors and juniors,
and next year, through the four
weeks of May, students in the Sc
lected courses will work by them
selves IN the library or their own
studies on reading and other tasks
assigned by their instructors.
It is hoped that this reading
period will develop and test a stu
dents capacity to use his freedom
and develop powers Of independent
study. The new program is to be
reviewed at the end Of two years.

The campaign to jockey Com
merce Secretary Roper into re-
signing is not over yet. It is
not an organized movement,
but q sort Of spontaneous
clamor, arising partly from
Roper's failure to become a
prominent White House business
functionary during the depreS-
sion and partly from dissatisfac-
ton of the business magazines,
news letters, ETC., on the ground
that he does not represent buSi-
ness in the Cabinet.
The White House plan Is to
create q powerful new bureau
in the Commerce Department,
the Bureau Of Industrial Eco
nomics, and possibly transfer
the commercial attaches to the
State Department.
The stir over this probably
will die down, but the expecta-
ton is general even among
Roper's friends that he will re-
tire before long, whether the
plan goes through or not.
Those being mentioned for
the job include John Biggers,
Joe Kennedy, Frank Walker
and Donald, Richberg. Biggers
is the most likely choice.

ALLEY DWELLING.
is.
PUSHED AHEAD

Legislation was before Congress
today, not only for the elimination
of alley dwellings in Washington,
but authorizing the Alley Dwell
ing Authority to accept loans or
grants from the Federal Govern
ment and gifts of money from pri-
vite sources to end the evil.
Companion bills, introduced in
the Senate and House and Sched-
uled for action this week, would
make the Alley Dwelling Authority
for the first time a public hous-
ing agency within the meaning of
the housing act of 1887. Passage
Of the legislation is expected to
release approximately $4,000, 900
now available out of funds being
administered by the Housing Au-
thority, for elimination of alley
dwellings here.
There was written into both
bills also, for the first time, the
following declaration Of policy:
"It is hereby declared to be
a matter of legislative determi-
nation that the conditions exist
ing in the District Of Columbia
with respect to the use of build
ings in alleys as dwellings for
human habitation are injurious
to the public health, safety, NOR.
ais, and welfare; and it is hereby
declared to be the policy of the
United States to protect and
promote the welfare of the in
habitants of the seat of Govern
ment by eliminating all such
injurious conditions by employ
ing all means necessary and
appropriate for the purpose.
The draft of the two measures
introduced today goes on to say
that as regulatory processes have
failed to remedy existing evils, it
is the Judgment of Congress that
the problem must be dealt with by
gift, purchase or the use Of emf
nent domain to put the declared
policy into effect, which is to elm
mate all alley dwellings.

with the United States Steel,

Mr.. RS economic nurses like

start. There can be none this
time, they say, because most Of
the financial weeds were cleaned
out last time.
Inventories (Which were the
result, not the cause, Of this de-
pression) are being worked out,
as consumption is in excess Of
production. BY late summer the
inventory factor should be elimi1
mated.
The effect Of the tax bill has
already been anticipated fully,
so not much benefit Is expected
from that present development.

omitted any reference to the
subject and implied he was only

Biggers is playing with a new

not get CIO Boss John Lewis in
on the play before because he
wanted an ironbound contract
for a years work every year and
the industry could not give it.
