cutting prices. Perhaps the cut will start in steel That is the situation facing Lewis and United States Steel when they began discussing renewal secretly in New York.
 ONE COMPANY CUT
 They did not tell what happened at the conference but it is obvious that US. Steel was in position to ask: If we sign years con- tract with CIO and our competitors begin cutting prices, where do we get off? They can cut wages if they have to because they are not under contract. If we sign tight con- tract, we cannot cut"
 And just then the point was demonstrated when one unit of Little Steel cut the price of cold rolled steel much used by automo- bile manufacturers It was a solar plexus blow to any hopes Lewis may have had of signing up US Steel to tight years contract. Whether or not it was intended by Little Steef' as such, it could be looked upon as a cutting return | for the punishment Lewis CIO ad- ministed last summer to Little Steel" during the strike
 Within few hours after the price nounced the signing of new con- tract with United States Steel which permitted either side to termin- ate the contract on 20 days notice 1 Thus US. Steel was in a position to match the price cut and follow il with wage cut if necessary.

Broken Bits of Bodies
of Army Men Picked
Up Over 60 Acre
Area in Alabama

Uniontown, Ala, Dec. 24.-(AP)-
Broken bits of bodies recovered over
a 60-acre territory today indicated
that seven, or possibly nine, men died
last night in the explosion and crash
of an army bomber near here.
Major Warren Maxwell, operations
officer at Maxwell Field, at Mont
gomery, Ala, said a tramp over the
area today convinced him at least
seven persons were killed.
Effects recovered indicated nine
persons might have been killed, but
reports from Hamilton Field, Cal,
said only seven soldiers left there
Thursday aboard the plane enroute
to Mitchell Field, II. Y.
An eighth member, army sources
said, apparently boarded the plane at
March Field, CAL, but alighted at
some point before the big BIB type
plane plummeted down through a
rainstorm. The terrific explosion
shook many houses in the vicinity.
First Lieutenant James Underhill,
pilot of the machine, was of Nor
canton, N. G.

West Votes .

Daily Dispatch bureau.
In the SIR Walter HOteh

Raleigh. Dec. 24.-East and West
vote about in the same proportion to
their populations in Democratic pri-
maries in North Carolina, but when
it comes to general election time.
there's an entirely different story to
tell, a study of 1888 election returns
shows.
For example, the SO western coun-
ties (using a classification recently
published in an editorial of the
Hickory Record) have a combined
population of 1746,214 according to
the 1890 census, which was 5505 per
cent of the States total; leaving L.
425,062, or 4494 per cent, to the so
eastern counties. In the Democratic
senatorial primary of this year, these
so western counties cast 28O,6 votes.
or 1923 per cent of the total, a figure
almost identical with it's proportion
of the population. Eastern Democrats
dropped in 227, 1876 ballots, which was
ATT per cent of the total.
But when November rolled around
it was a question of electing either
Bob Reynolds or Charlie Jonas, the
same so western counties polled 231,-
1O8 Democratic and grand total of
38O,854 votes, while the East mustered
only 82,577 Democratic ballots and
1881 altogether.
That gave the West 73.44 per cent
of the total Democratic vote and 1874
of the grand total of both parties,
| leaving only 1886 and 1925 as the
East's percentages of the Democratic
and total votes.
Which completely punctured the
East's long-standing claim that it re-
guIarly saves" the state from the
Republicans. A bit of simple subtrac-
ton shows that the Democratic ma
jority in the west amounted to 81
1862 which was almost as great as the
total Democratic vote of the cas-.
whose majority was only 52,843.

Pope Is Sad
Over Course
Of Mussolini

Vatican City, Dec. 24.-(AP)-Pope
Plus X, in his Christmas address
to his cardinals today, expressed his
"bitter sadness" and vexation in re-
lations between the Vatican and the
Italian government. These vexations,
he said, were "mistreatment" of
Catholic Action, which is an organiza-
ton of laymen, and "wounding of the
concordat" between the Holy See and
Italy by Premier Mussolinls promul-
cation of law forbidding marriages
between Aryans and non-Aryans.
The pontiff accused higher-ups of
encouraging the "vexations." He de-
clared that they had even been erect
ed against Ildefonso Cardinal Schus-
ter, archbishop of Milan, as guilty of
speech and teaching which comes
within his pastoral duties, and of
which he can only approve

A record throng of Christmas
travellers journeyed toward the "old

ment of spirit at family reunions
frightened by the prospects of tradi-
tional white Yuletide for many sec
tions of the nation.
Snow, sleet and rain were general
from the Atlantic coast to, the Mis-
sissippi Valley adding an element of
peril that brought death to many on
ice-sheathed highways. The snow was
skinny except in > the northermost
tier of states, but promised to remain
over the holiday, barring an unfore-
seen rise in temperature.
Moderate weather prevailed thro-
ughout the South and most of the low

railroad handled 735 trains in its New
City terminal yesterday, 1875 above
normal. Harried air line executives re-
ported record requests for reservA-

Long and Short Haul
Proposal Draws Fire
from Wheeler a n d
Norric; Politics in Re-
lief To Be Flung at
Harry Hopkins in Con-
firmation Fight

Washington, Dec 24.-(AP)-Con
-ressional opposition developed today
to some recommendations of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's special committee on
abroad legislation.
Chairman Wheeler Democrat, Mon
tana, of the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee. and Senator Nor
ris, Independent, Nebraska, said they
you'd fight any effort to repeal the
'ong and short haul rate clause of
he interstate commerce act.
This clause prohiblus railroads from
charging less for long haul than for
a short haul over the same route in
the same direction. It's repeal was one
of the recommendations made by the
committee.
The committee told the President
Yesterday that government favorit-
ism" for competing forms of traffic
had contributed to the railroads fl
nancial difficulty. The President ap-
pointed the committee, representing
railroad management and labor, to
prepare a legislative program for re-
habilitating the debt-burdened car
riers.
Mr.. Roosevelt may not, however, en-
dorse all the committees recommen-
dations. It is up to him to decide
which of them shall be submitted to
Congress.
This committee, it was said would
use the report of the Senate cam
paign investigating committee in
vigorous effort to ascertain whether
there has been any political use oil
dc
tees report has not been drafted, but
members have indicated it will cr-
ticize some activities of the WPA
during the last campaign.
The commerce committee includes
numerous senators who have been
critical Of the relief policies of the adj
ministration. Senator Bailey sharp
New Deal critic, will be elected chair
man when Congress convenes, and
Senator McNary, Republican, of Ore
gon, the minority leader, is the rank
ing Republican member.
Committee members said they
would question Hopkins in detail
about the campaign committees re-
port.
Hopkins Faces Fight.
Other developments:
A thorough Senate airing of char
ges of politics in relief appeared in
prospect as a result of Harry L. Hop
kins' selection to be secretary of COM
merce. Although some anti-administra
ton senators said they would not OPP
pose confirmation of his nomination
to the cabinet a group of Democrats
and Republicans began discussing
strategy whereby they could secure
a penetrating inquiry into how Hop
kins has run WPA.
Members of this informal coalition
said privately they would demand
that the nomination be referred to
the Senate Commerce Committee for
study.
