WASHINGTON. - The RooseVei'

There Just isn't any peace III

The chief reason is that no one

two groups can reunite wllhou'

have every reason to expect an
end to their control if they TOOK

other a. F.. of L. unions, with the
further provision that jurisoictioh-
al disputes be settled by the unions
involved
JJnlikelihood of an early merger
doesn't mean there's no chance ol
a cessation of name-calling ano
u,orfare between the two groups, as
suggested by Mr.. Roosevele Bu'
events at the A. F. of l.. conVen-

prospect of that.
Labor's chief victory in recen'
months has been the success o.
Sidney Hillman, widely known az

in reconciling the battling factions
of the United Automobile work

One important expected result
is elimination of both Lovestont

 Solvency of Nation

WASHINGTON, May 11.-Repub- licans today attacked the Admins tration's lending and spending pro- gram as a threat to national sol- vency," while on the other side of the fence, a Democrat said "it is much better than any previous relief measure"

 The report was distributed to the press by the Republican National Committee, and referred to current business conditions as the 'Roose- velt Depression.
 Representative Maverick, in reply ing to the verbal lambasting from the House floor, said such criticism doesn't solve any economic ills in the United States"
 He charged that the Republicans have no program of their own to offer in lieu of the Administrators program.

HELIUM GAS CONTROVERSY
 UP TO BOARD
President Roosevelt Power. less to Make Any Set
 clement of Issue

WASHINGTON, May II. = 4 statement from the White House today said President Roosevelt is powerless to settle the controversy over the sale of helium to Germany, growing out of the refusal of Sec retary of Interior Harold L. Ickes to approve of the sale and contract without guarantees against use of the gas in foreign military opera tionS.
 It is pointed out that the export of helium to Germany requires the unanimous consent of six Cabinet officers composing the National Munitions Control Board. Secre- tary Ickes is one of the members Of the Board.
 The announcement was made fol- lowing a conference between the President, and high Navy and Army officials.
 Secretary Ickes is probably alone among the Board members oppos- ing the sale of helium without the proper guarantee that it will not be used for military purposes.
 At the next Board meeting it is expected that formal decision on the sale will be made.

Vargas Squashes Brazilian Revolt
 Of Green Shirts
Fascist Group Attempts to Take Government Build
 ings in Capital City

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, May IA Fascist revolt against the totalitarian government of Presi- dent Getuilio Vargas, was quickly crushed today after fighting in the streets of this capital during the night.
 Unsuccessful attempts were made to seize the government buildings in several hours of mob battle
 The rebellion was started by the Integralists, a Green Shirt organi- zation outlawed by President Vargas after he grasped authoritarian con- trol of Brazil in his coup of 1887
 Assaults were made on Guana- bara Palace and other government buildings, but only one building was successfully occupied by the revo- lutionaries. A force of the Green Shirts took over the building occu- pied by the Marine Ministry, but the Government Militia surround ed them there and forced quick surrender.
 At daybreak today, Chief of Po- lice Filinto Mueller, said the revolt was suppressed.
 Actual fighting lasted three and half hours, raging through the heart of the city before the gov ernment gained mastery over the situation.

Crazy Notions Work Out
 Sometimes to Be of Redl
 Benefit to AU MGnkind
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, May H. One of the things this government does in its spare time is to test out crazy notions, and that is how it discov- cred that plastering a cud of chew ing tobacco on wound would stop the blood from squirting out.
 We haven't as yet persuaded our favorite government bacteriologist to test whether a big swig of raw whisky is good for snake bite. But when Dr. Lazlo Detre, bacteriolo- gist of the Bureau of Public Health. heard of the chewing tobacco rem edy he put his test tubes to work on it.
 One of Dr. Detre's Public Health colleagues from down in the to- bacco belt is responsible for start ing him on the strange chase. The man said that when he was hunt ing as. a boy with his father, their Negro servant cut off two of his fingers while chopping wood for a camp fire. Desperately the boys father tried to keep the darky from bleeding to death. In some thing of a panic he slapped on a cud of tobacco. It worked The bleeding stopped.
 They took the Negro back to town where a physician roundly scolded everybody for taking such risks witN infection. He removed the tobacco and cleaned the wound, only to start the bleeding again. The Negro didn't die but neither did the idea that chewing tobacco uyo c oood for mOupdS

ITS THE CALCIUM

Dr. Detre found out why He used his own blood in the test. It isn't the nicotine. It is some sort of cal- cium in the tobacco which causes the blood to coagulate, or clot, and seal up the wound Dr. Detre thought it likely that the nicotine, mixing in the blood that way, might do harm and no good at all. Evi- dently Dr. Detre's southern col- leagues father had chewed out all the nicotine.
 If you are going to become heroic and cut off finger just to try this out, at least follow the approved method. Chewing is not the best way. although Dr. Detre said he had learned that Chesa- peake Bay fishermen used a cud to stop bleeding from fish hook wounds. Best way Gin case you can't get to a doctor) is to boil some tobacco long enough to stew out the juice and cause the nicotine to evaporate. The tobacco tea" is better than cud.
 Milk also is good, said Dr. Detre. but tobacco tea" is 10 times stronger.
