NEW YORK, Dec. "A human
sacrifice to honesty was recorded
today In the action of Peter Muir
ply, 43. janitor in a West Side tene-
ment, who saw his newborn son die
In his wife's arms rather than touch
$43 belonging to his employer.
Penniless after paying bills with
his $24 bi-weekly relief check, Muir
ply said it wouldn't have been
honest" to use his boss money,
jingling in his pockets, in an at
tempt to save the infants life.
There was neither food nor fuel

they lived, rent free in return for
Murphy's service as janitor and

it died.

Striking workmen at the Chrysler

Jobs Monday morning as the result
of negotiations which ended tonight
when United Automobile Workers
Union leaders agreed to prevent
eviction Of unafIiliated factory en-
ployes.
Under the agreement $500 en-
ployes will re-enter the plant, closed
since Thursday after U. A. w. A.
workers denied admittance to the
factory members of the Die Sinkers'
Union "a. F. L..
In = joint statement by U. A. w. A.

heads declared all employees should
return to work Monday and both
international and local representa-

to prevent further evictions."
"All employees of the Chrysler

They would do this through more

to be made by the social controllers
to lure the American people into

No Preconceived Pattern.
On the other hand. Chairman
OMahoney declared as the group
adjourned yesterday that 1T ought
to be pretty clear that the commit
tee has no preconceived pattern to
which it desires to force business
compliance.
I'VE are obviously trying to de-
termine basic economic facts on
which all agree in the hope there
may be a common determination
and understanding as to remedial
plans for solving the important
problem of unemployment of both
capital and labor"
Commenting further on the three
days of hearings, the chairman said:
The per capita production of ma
tional income Is greater today than
it was Is years ago, but it is less
stable. That is our essential prob
lem. We're living on higher plane
than our grandfathers were, but
they had more stability. Our prob
lem is to find a way of stabilizlng
our living standard upon the new
high level which we have attained,
and of raising that level"

requested radio time, but Mr.. Dies
had not. It added that Mr.. Dies has
been heard over N. B. c. networks on
seven occasions since last April. f"
Columbia Broadcasting System
(WABC) made no comment.
Telling luncheon meeting of the
society that broadcast time had been
denied, Arnold L. Davis, society
vice chairman, demanded, who has
the power to do that?"
Several luncheon guests shouted,

Others called for the names of
the stations, but Mr.. Davis said
they would be revealed I'm due

later listed the names and said
omcials explained they had no time
available and that Federal regula-

controversial topic must be followed
by one giving the other side of the
argument.
The enemies of this country"
said Mr.. Dies. think they have been
very clever in seeking to handicap
our investigation in every conceiv-
able manner. They have not been
clever; they have been stupid. Their
tactics of ridicule, misrepresenta-
ton, lies, abuse. ETC., have done
more to arouse the patriotic people
OF this country to the seriousness of
the situation than all of the testi-
mony we have heard. -"
The people know that this abuse
and Misrepresentation started with
In a few days after our hearings
began. They know, for instance,
that Miss Perkins (Secretary of
Labor and Mr.. Ickes (Secretary of
