bert Won Dirksen, her ambas-
sador to Great Britain, it was
today, as a vehe-
nent display of disapproval of an
American initiated and British
sponsored plan to aid Jewish refug-
eeS.
The program outlined by Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain in the
House of Commons brought bitter
condemnation from the Nazi press,
which apparently had been officially
inspired, and led to reports that
Dirksen would be summoned home.
Chamberlain proposal to find
homes for a number of German
Jewish refugees in Tanganyika, for
mer German colony in Africa, was
interpreted by Germans as a rebuff
to Germany's colonial demands, in
which Tanganyika had figured
prominently.
1t was understood also that Ger
many had been enraged by Cham
berlains blunt intimation that Ger
many should contribute to the Solu-
ton of the Jewish question by re-

would permit Jews to leave Ger

NAVY FIGHTS j. s.
CONTRACTS PLAN
Says Denial to Labor Act
VioIators Would Delay
Ship Building.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Navy told a House committee
today that legislation to deny Gov
ernment contracts to violators OF the
Wagner Labor Act probably would
hanlstring their fleet construction.
Tha bill would authorize the Gov
eminent to suspend contracts imme-
diately with company the Labor
Board found had violated the law,
even though the decision might 60
into a prolonged court fight.
Admiral William D. Leahy, Chief
OF Naval Operations. told the Judiciary
Committee in letter read by Capt.
c. w. Fisher, that the department did
not object to principles of the bill-to
improve working conditions-but
feared there would be undue inter-
ference with Government business.
THE Navy Department objects to
the bill" Admiral Leahy said, be
cause if enacted into law, it might
well lead to serious and irrecoverable
delays on construction Of war vessels
by contract. Such delays in the con-
struction Of naval vessels urgently
needed cannot be tolerated.
Similar delays in obtaining naval
armament, equipment and supplies are
also highly Objectionable and might
lead to serious consequences"
Cancellation of a Government con-
tract, the admiral added, would penal
lie Government and labor as we'll as
the covenant breaking contractor"

CHEMISTS TOLD
OF SULPHUR PIPE
Such Lines Would Be Used
Instead of SteeI-Sand
and Asbestos Added. !
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,

Associated Press Science Editor.
DALLAS. April 2l.-Pipe lines made
Of sulphur instead of steel were de-
scribed to the American Chemical 3d.
ciety yesterday rs = new step in the
"hrimstone" business, one Of the
major industries Of the Southwest.
This Casting Of sulphur pipe" one
Of tina recent discoveries through
which American chemistry hopes to
give big push to prosperity in the
United States. was reported by Isaac
Bencowitz Of the Texas Gulf Sulphur
Co.. Inc, at New York City.
For making pipe, sulphur is mixed
with coarse sand or with coke. Add
ing some shredded asbestos helps
The birthstone" pipe, Bencowitz said
stands a pressure OF IS pounds to the
square inch.
A unique quality of sulphur makes
the pipe possible. Sulphur is the ex-
ception among substances that melt,
because it does not become more
liquid as the temperature rises. In
stead, after softening under low heat
the "brimstone" gets harder with
rising temperature.
The new sulphur mixtures can be
used to line the inside OF steel pipes
They make the steel rustproof as we'll
~ safe from numerous other forms of
corrosion.
The romance OF the birthstone blsi-
ness In the United States was told in
sulphur symposium at the closing
sessions Of the Dallas meeting The
peculiar melting trick Of sulphur
causes most OF the trouble in getting
1t out Of the ground Hot water is
pumped into sulphur deposits that lie
900 to 1900 feet underground. The
sulphur comes up from these wells" in
liquid form.
But to keep it liquid the tempera-
ture has to be held within a zone Of
about Ave degrees. The water tenn
perature that will bring up sulphur
from one deposit may not work In an
other.
Sometimes the first wells in q de-
posit fail to bring up sulphur because
1t won't melt properly. But 4 few
years later. due to underground
changes. this same sulphur will melt
and now out.
