NLRB DIRECTS
 UNION CONTRACT
Second Decision in Two Days Affects Globe COt=
 ton Mills, Georgia

Washington, April 7-(UP)-The National Labor Relations Board to- day issued its second signed con- tract" decision in two days, ordering the Globe Cotton Mills, Augusta, Ga, to sign union contract If a collective bargaining agreement is reached.
 The decision was generally sim- liar to that announced yesterday when the Inland Steel Go. was held to have violated the National Labor Relations act by declining-in ad- vance of collective bargaining-to agree to 8 signed contract.
 The Inland Steel decision spurred CIO drive to obtain enactment of legislation banning government con- tracts, loans or grants to concerns held to be violating the Wagner la bor act.
 Today'S decision also involved the CIO through subsidiary. the Tex tile Workers Organizing Committee, which had pressed the case against the. cotton concern.
 The board ordered the cotton firm to grant exclusive ba. aining rights for Its production employees to the TWOC. If an. understanding on wages, hours and other conditions of employment is reached during bargaining, the boaIG ruled the com pany must "embody such under standing in an agreement for a definite term, to be agreed upon, ii requested to do so by the union."
 The company agreed that the TWOC represented majority of its employees, but the board said the concern had mot only systematical- ly rejected each ana every union proposal, including those which were admittedly unobjectionable, but also

SPECIAL PROSECUTOR
 ADMITS IMPLICATION
Miss Elizabeth McGivney, Other City Employees Also
 Recalled This Morning

Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn and the Waterbury extraordinary grand jury played a trump card today, and notified former Chair man Thomas F. Mccarthy of the Board of Fire Commls- sioners that he would be called as a witness. The noti- fication was made, presum- ably, as an aftermath of the appointments, retirements, and promotions which were made yesterday by the board over the head of Chairman Mccarthy.
 1t was also made almost immedl- ately after the issuance of state ment by Chairman Mccarthy m which he charged "the appoint ments were made for political con- alterations" His resignation was incorporated in the statement.
 Much Speculation
 There is considerable speculation over the calling of MT. Mccarthy. MP. Alcorn admitted at l o'clock to- day that MT. Mccarthy would be an early witness.
 In answer to 8 question of re- porter who wanted to know If the appointments last night would be the subject of questions put to MT. Mccarthy, the prosecutor salo' "You're not far from wrong"
 There is also the possibility that connections of the former fire board chairman with the administration during the past four months, and his connections as district leader in previous years will also be subject of inquiry by the jury.
 Long Democratic Leader
 MT. Mccarthy, during many years prior to his appointment as chair man of the fire board was Demo- cratic leader in the north end dis trict, When interviewed by The Democrat at 12:45 today he denied any knowledge of having been called before the jury.
 MT. Alcorn said at 1 o'clock that MT. Mccarthy would appear when the jury is ready to question him. /C~,ti,,,,od nn pQOe 4)

Washington, April '. = (UP) = President Roosevelt called his relief advisers to the White House today to discuss an immediate $1,500, ,000,- 900 business revitalization program through a joint public works ad- ministration and works progress ad- ministration spending drive.
 The White House said President Roosevelt has before him a plan proposing an immediate program of huge non-interest federal loans to cities, states, and local government bodies.
 MT. Roosevelt called in Works Progress Administrator Harry L.. Hopkins and Assistant WPA Ad- ministrator Aubrey Williams to dis cuss the spending plan.
 The White House indicated that the President has virtually decided to launch the program with a mes sage to Congress outlining the. plan, which he hopes would halt eco- homie recession and revitalize bus mess through large-scale pump priming expenditures.
 The huge new program. 1t was learned, will be in addition to the proposed $1,500, 0,000, ,0o0 plan for Re- construction Finance Corporation Loans to industry and to local gov- ernment bodies. Authorization for this program is now pending in con- gress, awaiting Senate House agree ment on minor details.
 The new pump-priming endeavor, it was said, would be instituted through passage by Congress of leg islation empowering the government to raise $500, 100000 by means of bond issue. The funds would then

Sweepi1g Changes hn Fire Dept. Touches Euery Co.
49 Men Affected By PrO- motions, Retirements,
 Appointments Yesterday

Transfers of personnel af- fecting every engine house in the city will follow in the wake of the greatest shake up in the history of the fire department, made yesterday afternoon by the Board of Fire Commissioners. The appointments, promotions, and retirements voted yester- day become effective May 1, and on that date shifts of firemen of all ranks will also be made. The fire board yesterday appointed new deputy chief, new drill master, named six captains and seven lieutenants, retired seven veteran members of the department and appointed 27 new privateS. The Shakeup had been expected for months, but the breadth of scope was almost entirely unexpected, and fire department circles were stun ned by the changes made.
 First Appointments
 The new appointments were the first additions to the fire depart ment since Mayor Frank Hayes took office. The department for years has been undermanned, and 1t was felt that numerous additions to the fire-fighting force were urgent and necessary. ....
 Most of the retirements came as surprises, particularly that of Charles K. Ahearn, superintendent of fire alarms. All seven firemen retired yesterday will receive half pay from the pension fund.
 Meeting Long Delayed
 The meeting of the fire board, scheduled for 4:30, was not official ly begun until long after that time, as Mayor Frank Hayes conferred privately with the commissioners relative to the changes. Then. after the meeting began, the board went into executive session several times.
 Among those promoted were some of the best-known m cmbers of the department. But missing from the list were the names of several pri- yates and officers whose friends had confidently expected would be ad- vanced.
 Corridors Crowded
 The corridors on the second floor of the City Hall were crowded with firemen and prospective flremen as the meeting was underway in the mayors office. A short time before the meeting began, Chairman Thom- as Mccarthy left the chamber and walked out of the City Hall.
 The boards first action was on retirements, and in quick order sev-
