Special Session.


BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July 23.-The
Earle administration, preparing for
the opening OF special session Of the
Democratic-controlled Assembly. got
down to work today on a legislative
attack it proposes to make against Il
grand jury investigation OF IA Demo-
cratic leaders.
Leading off Gov. George H. Earles
formal 24-point proclamation last

pm. Monday, were three that gave the
lawmakers the task of:
l. Investigating charges against
ANY person holding a civil Office" in

cations by any grand jury and de
filming the scope and respective juris-
dictions of the General Assembly and

CHANGES PRESSED
IN CONTRACTS ACT
c. I. 0. Plans to Urge Broader
Amendments to Walsh-Healey
Measure.
By the Associated Press.

The Committee for Industrial Or
ganization announced today it would
sponsor amendments to the Walsh
Healey Government Contracts Act at
the next Congress even broader than
those which House committees bottled
up six weeks ago.
John L. Lewis, chairman Of the c.
I. o., went to the Capitol twice in the
closing days of the session to exert his
personal influence, but failed to obtain
House approval of the legislation.
Those amendments would have
compelled concerns with contracts of
at least $4,000 with the Government
to observe not only the Walsh-Healey
wage-hour standards, but decisions of
the National Labor Relations Board.
The wage-hour standards now apply
on contracts above $4,000 Violators
are placed on a blacklist" which
makes them ineligible for contracts
for three years.
Lee Pressman, c. I. O. general
counsel. said the organization would
demand passage of the amendments it
asked last session, and also application
of the law to concerns which receive
loans or grants from the Government.
The Walsh-Healey Act requires Gov
eminent contractors to observe a 40
hour work week, pay prevailing
wages" approved by Secretary Perkins
and use no child or convict labor.

REPORT DESCRIBES
WORLD TRADE BARS
Rapid Growth of Nationalist
Protective Spirit Traced by
Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A report which indicated rapid
growth Of the nationalist protective
spirit" in leading countries Of the
world was sent to Congress yesterday
by the Federal Trade Commission.
It disclosed that in the last four
years the United States and 80 foreign
countries have built vast and intri-
cate network Of "anti-dumping" laws
across the channels of world trade.
The primary purpose of the report
was to review legislation various ma
itions have passed to prevent the
"dumping" Of foreign goods within
their borders. However, the analysts
illustrated that the exchange Of prod
ucts between leading nations of the
world Is conducted today through a
maze Of international legal technicali-
tiles.
: These complexities involve dis
sjointed currencies. duties levied by
one country against another out of
spite and levies designed to protect
domestic living conditions.
Also cited were laws to protect in
dustries from trusts in foreign coun-
tries, "retaliatory" duties and "preju-
dicial" transportation arrangements.
In some laws the commission found
provisions to prevent importation Of
goods produced by forced labor, prison
labor or by workers at low wages or
under unfavorable working conditions.

AUSTIN, Tex, July ga million
citizens stepped into balioting booths
today for showdown on the most un-
predictable issue in Texas political
history - the potency Of mountain
music.
Not since the incredible race Black
smith Bob Williams made in 1909
without ever leaving his forge, or,
perhaps, the dark horse run OF Farmer
Jim Ferguson in 1914, has the cleo
torate been so excited by a guberna-
torial scramble.
A new personality. W. Lee O'Daniel
converted the campaign into travel
ing circus. The Fort Worth -four
broker campaigned atop sound truck
with a blaring hill-billy band and a
promise of $50 monthly pensions for
the aged-whether they be millionaire
or INDECENT.
Never has the Democratic primary
field bulged with such strength
ODaniels chief opponents are Attor-
ney General William McCraw, who
was reelected without opposition four
years ago: Railroad Commissioner
Ernest o. Thompson. proponent OF
low utility rates, and Tom Hunter
Wichita Falls oil man and three
time candidate who never has polled
less than 100000 votes.

ing the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Of discontinuanee Of service over
the Illinois Central tracks between
Jackson, Tenn, and St. Louis has
taken the first concrete step for a

solidation because the two roads serve

merger might serve as a precedent for
other railroad consultations

ties were the Chicago g. North West

S0UTHERNERS RAP
RAIL FREIGHT RATES
Attempt Made at I. c. c. Session
to Show Their Lines Are
Cheaper to Operate.

By the Associated Press.
BUFFALO, N. Y, July 23-South-
ern interests took one quick parting
shot at existing freight rates as the
first phase of their offensive to widen
the doorto Northern markets was con-
cluded.
They sought to prove Southern rail-
roads are cheaper to operate than
Northern lines. just before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission ended
yesterday long hearing on the South
ern shippers application for lower
northbound freight rates.
Henry j. Saunders. Washington,
D. c.. statistician. who testified in the
South's brief rebuttal. offered figures
to show the operating expense Of
Southern roads to be uniformly lower"
than that Of Northern roads. If
freight rates were based on railroad
costs alone, he asserted, such rates
would be lower.
The Northern defense case was con-
cluded with testimony by New England
manufacturers concerning Southern
price competition, and the assertion
by Massachusetts, Gov. Charles F.
Hurley that granting of lower rates
would be IAN unwise national de-
velopment."
I. c. c. Examiner G. H. Mattingly
set October Is for filing Of briefs.
