The committees report dis.

priations in the new program, by
routing the recovery funds direct
ly to the agencies charged with
their expenditure.
This change in procedure is
in no wise a reflection upon
what has been done by the Pres
ident in the past or what might
be done by him in the future
under the lump-sum procedure"
the report emphasized.
1T is a resumption on the
part of Congress of its long
established practice of appro-
priating directly to Federal
agencies for specified purpose
except in times Of grave emer-
gency."
The report estimated approx,
mately $500 projects at an
average cost of $240, 1000 each can
be started under the PWA pro.
gram. Approximately 2,700 prof
ects are now pending before the
PWA, leaving the way open for
local communities to submit in
the neighborhood of 5000 more
projects for approval.
Taber at once scored the draft
ing of its relief provisions and the
refusal of the committee to de-
centralize administration.
WASTE is CHARGED
"The WPA calls for tremend-
Gus expenditures in very ineffi-
Gent manner" ne charged.
People receive, under it, the
prevailing wage in the locality
for little or no work, and the
waste is tremendous.
The demoralizing effect on
the people is absolutely COM
plete. Those who are able to
get on WPA seldom, if ever, will
go back to work because they
can be paid the prevailing rate
for doing little or nothing,
whereas in private employment
they would have to work"

Koo upbraided the League for
its failure to lend aid to China, de-
spite several resolutions preyi-

.ECKENER BASES
HELIUM APPEAL.
ON PEACE USES.
US. Navy Officers to Be
ON New Zeppelin
By MERRILL MUELLER

Q.N.S.J Armed With a tentative
six.point brief. the veteran Yep
pelin expert, DR.. Hugo Eckener
today prepared to make a persona,
plea to President Roosevelt fol
release of 100000 cubic feet Of
helium for initiation of the super
dirigible LZ-130 which Germany
plans to put in transatlantic serv'
ice.
The sift-spoken German will not
present offensive arguments 20
counter the blasts of fiery Secre'
tary Ickes. Under the terms OF
the helium act. Ickes contends
the gas is of military Importance
He has refused to approve the
shipment of such quantity to
Germany without "some definite
guarantee of its peaceful use" or
policing" by American represen-
tativeS.
POINTS LISTED
Eckener's six defensive points
are:
|. Ickes is refusing exporta-
ton, based on a technical and
trick clause of the Helium AcJ,
in the face of approval by the
munitions board and the State
Department provisions for ex-
port licenses for shipment Of
17,500,0 900 cubic feet of the gas.
2. The LZ-130, before it could
possibly be used as a military
weapon, would have to be con-
verted-its luxurious passenger
compartments stripped into ar.
mament unitS-which could not
even be done secretly because Of:
3. An agreement with the
American Navy whereby U. S.
Navy officers of the lighter
than-air division will be
stationed at Friedrickshafen,
Germany and aboard the
LZ-130 constantly.
CITES TRAINING VALUE
This would mean, Eckener will
point out, excellent lighter-than-
air training for personnel Of the
American Navy aboard the best
Zeppelin ever constructed. This
training will be at German ex-
pense.
4. Airmail arrangements be.
tween the United States and
Europe have been agreed upon.
5. Eckener's own position
within the Reich. The Zeppelin
commander, once at odds with
Hitler over the displaying OF
Nazi flags on the Graf Zeppelin
and on the Inflated linden
burg, won his argument.
s. To gas-no dirigible service
of any kind and lighter-than-air
aviation will have slipped back
a good many years. Whether it
will ever be exploited again by
any country other than the
United States which has a
monopoly on the non-inflam-
able gas, will depend on inter-
probation of the helium act
the major issue now blocking ex-
portation.
incidentally, Ickes was not in
vited to the dinner given by the
German Ambassador last night in
honor of Eckener.

NLRB TO VACATE
ORDER IN HEINZ
LABOR DISPUTE.
Morgan Case Reversal
Leads to New Action

G.N.S.) In a further step to
correct procedure before the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board, ap-
parently taken to prevent decision
Of labor disputes on technicalities
rather than on merit, the board
today notified labor unions in the
Heinz Company plant at Pitts,
burgh 1t would vacate its order
issued in their case a month ago.
The same tack was taken by
the board in the Ford, Inland
Steel and Republic Steel cases,
following the Supreme Court de-
cision in the Morgan case, scoring
the Secretary of Agriculture for
setting cattle prices without &C
cording interested parties a full
hearing.
TO START OVER
Unless sufficient cause is shown
before Friday to stay its action,
the board told Heinz plant unions
it's former findings in the case
would be set aside and new pro-
ceedings instituted. The move,
admittedly. was to escape loss of
the cases in Federal courts under
the Morgan case decision.
In its original order, the board
designated the Canning and Pickle
Workers Union as sole agents for
collective bargaining on workers
rights before the company. Any
agreement reached by the union
and the management was to be
written and signed, the board di-
rected.
THIRD UNION NOTIFIED
The Wagner labor act, under
which the board operates, and
which has been upheld in nearly
80 cases by the Supreme Court,
does not specifically require col
lective bargaining agreements to
be written and signed.
The Heinz Employees Associa-
ton, a third union, also was mott
fled o: the impending action.

Archbishop
ASksFUirer
LGbOrDeaI

DETROIT, May 10 GNs5.
America must fight the trend
toward an American proletariat,"
with a revamped attitude toward
labor problems, Archbishop Ed.
ward Mooney warned today in his
first public comment on labor con.
troversies since he conferred with
Pope Plus XII in Rome two months
ago.
The archbishop referred directly
to his conversation with the Pope
and declared Cancellation, q mu-
tual understanding between in
dustry and its labor, must be at
tanned.
OWNERSHIP VITAL
Speaking to the Economic Club
yesterday. Archbishop Mooney
said:
I'VE cannot recreate the In.
dividual craftsman, working
with his own tools on materials
he himself owns, but we must
find a way to give all Amer.
leans a real stake in America.
1--WE should definitely set
ourselves to turn back the
trend that is running toward
the formation Of an American
proletariat-a propertyless
wageearning class.
1T imposes the duty Of max.
ing it both desirable and
possible for the mass of men to
have ownership both in their
homes and their means Of
livelihood.
SAFETY INVOLVED
"Only in a practical working
toward this ideal lies real pro
gress, and, I might add, real
safety for America"
AS step toward this ideal the
urged the Economic
Club to which he spoke to form
machinery to conciliate industrial
disputes in the Detroit area.
Employers ought to know
the one effective way to spike
the guns Of the agitator and
the revolutionist is to treat
with the men who have
grievances" he said.

dIcted today.
Passage of the measure during
the next week is sought in the
hope that long delay can be
averted in the Senate and ad-
journment of Congress speeded.
AWAIT MOTION
While the Rules Committee
failed today to take action on
O'Connor'S resolution permitting
Chairman Mary T. Norton CD of
New Jersey, of the Labor Commit
tee, to call up the wage-hour dis
charge motion at any time, a ma
jority of the committee was pledged
to support the motion.
A movement among Southern
members to wipe out all North
South differentials in WPA pay
was threatened if Congress ap-
proves the nondifferential policy
of the Norton bill now pending in
the House.
WPA FIGURES CITED
Under the Norton bill. which is
slated to be passed by the House,
a national minimum wage of Is
cents would be established, rising
to 40 cents after three years. A
44-hour work week would be estab-
liShed the first year, to be cut to
40 hours after the second year.
Representative McReynolds CD
of Tennessee declared that figures
furnished by Harry L. Hopkins,
WPA Administrator, revealed that
far higher pay is given WPA work
erS in the North than in the South.
Il selected a small town in
my own State, where WPA
workers receive $21 month be-
cause of lower living costs, and
asked for a comparable figure
for New York State" said Nc
Reynolds. Il was informed that
the pay in New York is $40.
CITY DIFFERENTIALS
There is a further differen-
tial provided in the larger cities
of the North for WPA workers.
There is no doubt that this situa-
ton will be discussed"
The differential question was
slated to be raised by Southern
members in debate on the pro-
posed new ST, $50, 000,0 900 WPA ap-
preparation.
Representative Ramspeck CD
of Georgia was selected by South
ern forces to lead the battle in the
House to revise the Norton bill by
permitting differentials between
various sections of the country
and industries.

ShipSubsidy
Fight In
Senate
By ROBERT A. McGILL

1.N.SD Aroused by the parlia-
mentary maneuvers by opponents
of the far-reaching ship subsidy
bill, Senator Copeland CD of
New York today served notice he
will oppose adjournment of Con
gress until the measure has been
acted on by the Senate.
Designed to rehabilitate the
Merchant Marine through liberal
tzation of the 1895 Merchant Ma
rine acts subsidy provisions, the
measure was showed off the Sen
ate calendar yesterday by Cope
lands foe, Senator Mcclellan Cd
Of Tennessee.
IMPORTANT BILL
The New Yorker, who was re-
Gently challenged to a fist fight
by Mcclellan on the Senate floor,
said:
This is one of the most i'm
portant legislative measures to
come before Congress at this
session. And I say now that 1
am prepared to insist on is
consideration even if 1 have 10
attempt to delay adjournment
of Congress to do it."
Mcclellan, who tangled with
Copeland over an appropriation
in a War Department supply bill,
will object to further moves to con-
slider the merchant marine bill. He
assailed construction and opera
ting subsidies as invitations to
Bhipbuilders and operators to par
ticipate in unwarranted profits"
CLARK OPPOSED
Senator Clark CD of Missouri,
q member of the Senate Commerce
Committee, of which Copeland is
chairman, charged the proposed
bill removes limitations on Fed,
eral construction and operation
subsidies.
LABOR PROVISIONS
Copeland expects scattered OPP
position to the labor provisions of
the bill. They call for a maritime
labor board of three members to
mediate or arbitrate disputes at
the voluntary request of interested
parties. Also, the board is in
