MI. R. B. DECISION
IS HELD WANTING
Manufacturers Body Says
It Still Fails to Reach
Fundamentals.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers said last night there was "a
Dor Relations Boards decision to re-
woke its Ford and Republic Steel find
ings pending further procedure.
This, the industrial association said
in statement, will have 'salutary
effect on business" but still fails to
reach into the fundamental issues"
Amendment of the Wagner Labor
Disputes Act and marked improve
ment in its administration" by the
Labor Board still were necessary, the
association said:
The board decided to revoke the
Ford and Republic findings after the
Supreme Court declared that both
sides in a case before a Government
agency should be given the opportunity
to challenge the facts as finally set
forth by the Government agent.
In neither the Ford nor the Republic
case was the employer given such op-
portunity. Each was found guilty of
violating the Wagner Act.
The board formally asked the Fed
eral Circuit Court of Appeals in
Covington. KY, today for permission
to withdraw its petition for an order
to enforce the Ford findings. The
board expects to take similar action
in the Republic case in Circuit Court
at Philadelphia some time this week.
Meantime, the Ford Motor Co. asked
the Covington court for permission to
determine, by court process, whether
the board had consulted John L. Lewis,
c. I. o. leader; Thomas Corcoran and
Benjamin " Cohen, administration
advisers, or any other person not con-
nected with the board before issuing
the Ford decision.
This was one of 81 questions regard
ing the boards procedure that the
company had asked the court to help
determine.
Representative Hoffman. Republican,
Of Michigan said in Washington in
dustry is being strangled" by the New
Deal and decisions of the National
Labor Relations Board.
He gave three reasons why the en-
ployer will be liquidated" if the board
continues its present Interpretation Of
the law:
l. He has no successful way Of con-
testing demands of unions.
2. Production on q profitable basis"
is impossible because discharged en-
ployes can take refuge behind the plea
of union discrimination.
8. Reinstatement and reimbursement
orders of the board are too heavy q
burden for the employer to carry.

Tyroleans are not included in the

AS the train passed Alpine way sta

opportunity to see evidence of Italy's
determination to make the region

mostly German is spoken. all stations

At Trento 1000 persons in holiday
garb cheered Hitler as his train

The Fuehrer, who was lingering over

their salutes from the window of the
dining car.
Whatever the rank and file OF
Italians might have thought of the
elaborate display for the chief of their
powerful new neighbors, with German
troops at Brenner since the absorp-
ton of Austria, the government left
nothing undone that would magnify
the occasion.
From the border to Rome, millions
OF Italians took the day off to crowd
into vantage points to watch Hitler
pass, or to follow his journey by radio.
For three days thousands of sight
seers-Italian and foreign-had milled
about the principal streets to be
traversed by Hitler in Rome. marvel
ing at the vast preparations for the
historic reception.
Peasant costumes from all parts of
Italy frightened the throngs, gathered
especially for tonight's procession
(about 2:45 pm. E. S. T) through
torch-lighted streets from the station
to the Quirinale Palace, where the
Fuehrer is to be guest of the King.

SHERIFF Will QUIZ

Charles County Official Convinced
Handy Mans Death Was
Murder.

County, Md, planned to question Mr..
and Mrs. T. Norris Wampler again
today about circumstances surround
ing the mysterious death of Charles
Adams. 65-year-old handy man, on

ming, after he apparently had been

attorney, who was sentenced to Is
months on income tax charges in
1888. was lying in a semi-stupor at
the dead mans feet, and empty beer
bottles we're lying nearby, the sheriff
said. He was told the two men had
been drinking together.
Sheriff Howard and States Attorney
Charles Edelen began an investiga-
tion after coroner's jury found Mr..
Adams death was mot from natural
causes" following medical testimony
that his head was bruised and he
apparently died from conclusion Of
the brain.
Although declaring he was CON
vinced it was murder" Sheriff Howard
said the investigation had not yet
disclosed any motive for any one kill
ing the elderly man and had not
progressed far enough for him to FORE
cast an arrest.

IN that metropolitan area was ap-

proper, the amount was only $1o.41.
These figures show forcibly that in
the matter OF disqualification Wash
ington lags far behind New York
City. Even after the expansion rec
commended by the Oleson Committee,
the per capita investment in hospitals
here still would be only $14.ls."
DR.. Rutland also calculated the per

of its health facilities to be only 96
cents per capita for the present fiscal
year and that if the proposed addi-
tlonal personnel and supplies were
provided, 1t would raise the figure to

cost to be borne by the Federal Gov
ernment. The District pays half of

DR.. Rutland estimated the cost of
provision Of 500 new beds at CALM

IN these calculations are items of s27s,-
