ROOSEVELT BACKS
SEAWAY Project
Note to Foe of st. Lawrence
Treaty Cites Power Need
in National Defense.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Andrews, Republican.
OF New York, made public today a
letter from President Roosevelt empha-
sizing the Importance of hydroelectric
power development on the st. Law
renee River from the standpoint Of
national defense.
Representative Andrews, foe of the
st. Lawrence seaway project, said the
communication was confidential when
1t was written. March 25. He added
that. in view of the State Departments s
recent offer to negotiate a new treaty
with Canada for development of the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin, he
did not feel bound any longer to keep
the letter secret. 1t was published to-
day In the Congressional Record.
The new treaty proposed by the
State Department would provide for
construction of deep-water channel,
connecting the Atlantic with the in
terror OF the American continent. and
for development of hydroelectric power
resources in the st. Lawrence River.
Need Of Planning Cited.
Mr.. Andrews wanted a separate
treaty covering remedial works to pre-
serve the beauty of Niagara Falls. but
he President in his letter opposed this
as "a piecemeal approach to settlement
OF the questions involved" Such an
arrangement, Mr.. Roosevelt said.
would not serve the ultimate interests
OF either the United States or Canada. :"
Emphasizing the importance of long
term planning, the President said:
Only as such plans are initiated to-
day can the United States be protected
against the real danger OF continued
and increasing dependence on foreign
sources Tor the future supply OF cheap
hydroelectric power which is so essen
tial to modern industrial development
in the Northeast.
Power Problem.
You are, no doubt, aware of the
fact that failure to secure a treaty
making possible the st. Lawrence
power development some years ago
compelled the Province of Ontario
to contract for large supplies of power
from private companies in the Prov
ince of Quebec. Similarly arrange
ments are under way which, if COM
pleted, would make New York de-
pendent for portion OF its power
supply upon the Province OF Quebec
at price considerably above the cost
of similar power supplies from the
proposed joint development of the
international section of the st. Law
renee River.
The result would be that new indus
trial development would find cheaper
power available in Quebec than in the
northeastern section of the United
States. need hardly call your at
tention to the effect of this in terms
OF peace-time prosperity.
But I must emphasize the grave
danger to the United States implicit
in such situation in case of war. for
such industries are in many instances
readily transferable to the production
OF munitions and other war supplies.
Reference to the situation in 1918 will.
I believe, convince you that the devel.
opment of nations own hydroelectric
power resources in advance is an i'm
portant factor in national defense"

GUFFEY DENIES
SUPPORT TO JONES
Statement on,.His Position
Not Authorized, He
Informs Followers.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator Guffey of Pennsylvania
who yesterday was quoted as saying
ne would support the Jones' Earle
ticket, nominated in the recent DEM
ocratic State primary. today sent a
cryptic message to his followers in
the State denying he had authorized
any statment of his position.
Ever since the Ken
nedy ticket was defeated in the pri-
mary, the Pennsylvania Senator has
maintained silence, presumably with
the idea Of obtaining the best pos
sible terms from the other Demo-
cratic leaders, who supported Charles
Alvin Jones for Governor and Gov.
Earle for Senator.
Lewis Holds Silence.
John L. Lewis, head of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
had no statement to make today re-
garding his position on the Pennsyl-
vania political situation. In some
quarters it was suggested that SEN
ator Guf1ey's letter. issued today. has
been brought forth by the reluctance
OF Mr.. Lewis and 1t. Gov. Kennedy
to say anything at this time.
Despite all the backing and filling.
national Democratic leaders today ex-
pressed confidence that Senator Cuff
fey and Mr.. Lewis and their following
IN Pennsylvania would line UP with
the Democratic State ticket.
Senator Guffeys letter was sent to
the chairman of the 81 county COM
mittees who led the fight for the
Guffey-Kennedy ticket in the recent
primary.
Text Of Guffey Letter.
He said in his letter:
Recently, statements have ap-
peared in the press wherein my name
has been used. These statements have
indicated in one form or another my
attitude with respect to the Demo-
cratic political situation in Pennsyl-
vania.
II want you, as chairman of your
county organization, to know that
eAASoC otdtCAilClIto were IlOL dutflOf1ZeQ
by me-
L will make my own decision with
respect to the present situation. and
when I arrive at that situation, shall
inform you thereof When making my
decision, shall bear in mind the CO.
operation which you and the members
OF your county organization extended
to me and my associates in the pri-
mary campaign this year"
The issue of the Congressional Rec
ord published today carries an edi-
torial from the Philadelphia Record,
printed at the request of Senator
Guffey, attacking Judge James, the
Republican nominee for Governor of
Pennsylvania, because he had failed
to resign his Office of Superior Court
judge. although he has been nomi-
mated for Governor.
Whether Senator Guffey intends to
support the Democratic ticket or not
and 1t is confidently believed he will
support it-he at least is laying the
ground for an attack on the Repub-
lican ticket.

Ply tie Associated Press.
Sharp differences of opinion over
wage and hour standards developed
today among members of a Joint con-
eressional committee, pointing to delay
IN final agreement on the legislation.
Although most committee members
appeared inclined to accept 25 cents
an hour as the rock bottom minimum
wage, there was disagreement over
how the ultimate goal of 40 cents an
hour and 40-hour week should be
reached.
House conferees were reported
standing by their measure. which
would fix nationally uniform stand
ards from which no industries in
interstate commerce could be ex-
empted.
A warning that this might make the
wage-hour bill political issue, with
candidates vying with one another in
promising higher wage minima, was
said to have been given the commit
tee by Senator Ellender, Democrat, of
Louisiana.
bargaining" Technique Favored,
Senator Ellender was reported to
have suggested that a form of col
lectlve bargaining" be adopted in
which employers and employees would
attempt to agree on minimum wage.
Final adjustment would be made by
Government agency on the basis of
information brought out during the
bargaining.
While this would retain the 25-
cents-an-hour minimum. said to have
been suggested by Senator Borah, Re-

Senator Thomas declared the COM
mittee must have time to go into the
matter thoroughly. This led to
general belief adjournment might be
delayed beyond June II. the date on
which administration leaders hope to
quit.
i think that when Congress can
take two years to pass on wage-hour
legislation, the conference committee
is justified in taking time enough to
do its work well," Senator Thomas
said.
IF we had failure with this bill,
1t would set labor back years"

| Closing arguments in the cas-
were heard late yesterday after
noon and the court recessed fol
supper reconvening at 7:30 last
night.
The courtroom was crowded
during the entire day, particul-
arly when the defendant took
the stand for more than ar
hours cross examination. She
told of her II years of married
life, relating t h a t during the
past eight years her husband
dha made life miserable for her
by batting her severely without
provocation.
She told OF an incident few
weeks before the Staying when
her husband gave her a severe
beating, knocking her down the
front steps of the house at
BerWind and causing her to be
removed to a Welch hospital FOR
two weeks. Other witnesses
corroborated h e = story, telling
of the times when she came to
their homes for protection. Her
husband was over six feet tall
and weighed about 200 pounds.
In establishing a claim Of
self-defense, defense counsel
brought out that the woman had
gone to a show the night before
the Staying. Joe Williams, &C
cording to testimony, quarrel
ed violently with her for coming
in late and waking him. At
breakfast the next morning, she
said, he continued to quarrel,
finally beginning to beat her. Sac
told of trying to ward off the
blows, and of his threat to kill
her. -.
She stated that he went into
the bedroom and took a .32 cali
bre pistol from under the pillow.
She declared that she wrestled
with him for the gun, and that
during the scUffie the revolver
went off and killed him. Two
bullets entered mis- body, and
third lodged in the ceiling of the
room. Defense attorneys argued
chat this testimony precluded a
charge of murder and allowed
only for manslaughter charge.
