| Nav Split Labor Vote

WILLIAM GREEN. president Of
w the American Federation OF
Labor, threatened to split organized
labor's vote in the 1898 congression-
al elections by asking for the with
drawal of all federation support for
labor's Non-Partisan league.
Charging that the league was ga
ventriloquist's dummy for the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization. /"
Green recommended that the fed
eration's executive council order all
affiliates to withdraw and cease
financial contributions.
Such action, it was believed, may
effectively split labor's vote in the
1888 elections, when ali congress
men, 80 senators and many state
officials face reelection campaigns.
In Washington John L. Lewis de-
clared that thousands of workers
now face desperate need, and even
starvation, despite the Presidents
promise to let no willing worker
starve.
In letter urging all affiliates of
his Committee for Industrial Or
ganization to notify congress that
immediate action is needed to pro-
vide 100000 work relief jobs for
the unemployed, Lewis added: ''The
administration has taken upon it
self this obligation, and the workers
of America expect it to fulfill its
promise"

Nazis Extol Hitler
All Germany celebrated the
L Y fifth anniversary of Chancellor
Adolf Hitler's rule with parades,
concerts and orations.
Hitler'S major accomplishments
were described as: Elimination of
unemployment, abolition of Yer
sailles Treaty restrictions, putting
Germany in position to drive Jews
out of the economic as well as So
cial and political life, suppression
of opposition political parties, and
breaking Germany's isolation by al
iances with Italy and Japan and
friendship with Yugoslavia, Poland,
Rumania and Hungary.
Still facing the Nazi regime are
the questions of possible colonial ex-
pansion, improvement of foreign re-
lations and reaching peaceful rela-
tons with the Catholic and Protes-
tant Confessional churches.

Giants Are Still "Team to Beat" In N. L. GallOp
BY ROBERT WEBB

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Boston, April 29-(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 Wally Berger, erstwhile blond basher of the Boston Braves, just missed winning a starting position in the Giants outfield ,. It was nip and tuck between him and big Hank Leiber for center until Leiber whacked a home run with the bases full against bullet Bob Teller :. from that time on, Berger has been benching it.
 AS matter of fact, the Giants management wanted Leiber to win the job because they planned it that way '. the Arizona Giant, who weighs 205, played in only 5l games last season after stopping fast ball with his noggin in the ear- ly season Leiber is 26 while Berger, who went to the Giants in the deal that brought Pitcher Frank Gabler to Boston, is six years older.
 Castleman Needed
 The answer to Terry's pennant hopes for the best Giants team in several years rest in Clyde Castle mans back Castleman. who might be a 20 game winner, is re- covering from a back operation |. he has been with the Giants for three weeks and had plenty of zip on the ball when he pitched during yesterdays batting practice Ter ry will probably use him to finish up a game within week.

I am greatly gratified to find that
 the American ambassador is present with us tonight, because we owe sev-
 eral of our institutions really to the
 contributions of America. And that is perfectly right because they are here for the Americans to come and see. We never look at them, as a rule, but the Americans like to see them absolutely on the spot.

The situation we face to- day is very much like that of any auto owner who may be tempted to save money on lubricative oil on the ground that 1t is gasoline and
 not fabrication which drives the car. But he soon finds that while his gas tank may be full, his skimping on oil has stalled the mo- tor" James Roosevelt, son of the
