Proposals Are Offered as U.

DETROIT. May 9.-The Interna-
tional Executive Board of the United
Automobile Workers met here today
to consider a variety of proposals for
ending factionalism. Two of the pro-
pcsals would curb the powers of Homer
Martin, international president
1.-TWO members Of the Board of the
United Mine Workers, Ora Gasaway
and Jack O'Leary, were present as
representatives Of John L. Lewis. chair
man Of the Committee for Industrial
Organization.
"A Toldeo U. A. w. delegation. headed
ny Richard Gosser. president of Local
No. II. arrived half an hour after the
meeting began. Members said they
understood the international union
had invited locals to send represent
atives to the meeting and determine
for themselves who was responsible
fpr factionalism, but an hour after the
meeting opened the Toledo delegation
had not been admitted to the board
meeting.
A program put forward by the
unity" or anti-Martin. group to end
factionalism called for ratification by
local unions of all contracts and local
elections without interference of inter-
national officers and representatives.
Another program, which apparently
had gained little support in recent
weeks. called for the appointment Of
an administrative committee to "ad-
wise" Mr.. Martin between board ses-
sions.
What for months had been a rivalry
between two groups within the Com
mittee fer Industrial Organization
Union appears to have undergone 4
reallgnment that finds the member
ship divided under the leadership of
three influential U, A. w. A. officials.
Membership Realigned.
Mr.. Martin heads the progressive"
faction which has remained in the
drivers seat despite prolonged opposi-
ton of the unity" group led by WAL
" Reuther, president of the Detroit
local.
A truce between the two groups
seemingly took place at the u. A. w.
A. convention at Milwaukee last Au-
gust and Mr.. Martin was reelected for
Two years, but not all their differences
actually were buried
Lately third faction has emerged
under the leadership of Richard T.
FrankenSteen. who was elected a vice
president and subsequently was desig-
mated assistant president by the "a
member Executive Board.
yMr. Frankensteen. without Mr.. Mar
TINS approval, submitted to the board
members his own plan for ending the
1actlonalism. For this he was re-
buked by the U. A. w. A. president.
Most OF Mr.. Frankensteen's following
Is said to have come from the Reu-
ther-Unity camp.
Other subjects on the board apenda
Are proposals to reduce union ex-
penses, conduct an organizing drive in
shops competing with unionized fac
tories, organize aircraft industry work
ers and intensity the campaign to
enroll Ford employees.
The boards deliberations are secret
and no announcement of what takes
place Is expected until it adiourns
fao long it will be in session is uncer-
ton.

VACATION FUND
OF GIRL STOLEN

Vacation plans of Miss Dolores
A. Vigil, of 1880 Klingle st. N. W.,
were given a setback last night
when a thief entered her room and
stole two 500 bills and a round
trip ticket to Denver, Colo, from
her purse.
Miss Vigil, a Government en-
ploye from Trinidad, Colo, told
police that entrance to her room
was gaineh by placing a ladder
under rear window and removing
the screen. She was not at home
at the time.
A second woman to be robbed
was Miss Joan O'Neil, of 1851 Wis
conSin Ave. N. W., who reported
to police that her purse containing
SO and pair of glasses valued at
$22 were stolen from the seat of
her automobile. The theft &C.
Cured while she was waiting on
a traffic light at Fifth Street and
Rhode Island Avenue Northwest.
Miss O'Neil told police she suspects
a young colored boy about IL years
old who was lettering on the cor
ner at the time.

We like to pride ourselves we take such good

this terrific waste of life could be prevented with
proper medical care and attention.
There is no use talking, We seem apparently
to care very little about grls-the poor little
things left on the street to play and to pick up
any foul language they hear-and the poor
mothers that haven't the money to go to hos

PARKING CHARGE
AIRED IN COURT

Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton Norman today was to con-
tinue argument on his contention
common law precedents support
his desire to nolle PROSE- a charge
of traffic violation growing out
of the new restrictions on parking
within 20 feet of building line.
Judge Edward M. Curran
ordered Norman to Substantiate
his contention yesterday after At
torney Michael Keogh, acting for
the Keystone Automobile Club
and one of its members, Richard
G. Topham, sought to have a
parking charge against the latter
tired in Traffic Court yesterday.
The keystone Automobile Club
contends the regulation is a good
one" but hazards the rights of
motorists because the banned
parking spaces are not marked.

ficials with too high salaries in the railway
business? Don't the clerks and trainmen deserve
a chance to enjoy few Of the pleasures Of this
life?"
Probably there are some exceptions, but on
the average would say the railway officials do
not get too much salary. know that If all high
salaries were divided among the laborers, the
addition to anyone's wages could hardly be
noticed.
Sure, we all deserve chance at the pleasures
of life. The trouble is that there is not much
chance just now in the railway business. We are
in bad depression. The railways are especially
backward. The situation requires sacrifices by all
in order that recovery may occur. Then chances
will be better.

Pet in Jam
By Stall

Willie, the work horse of
Thomas Johnson, whose stable is
in the rear of the 400 block of N
st. N. w., didn't look where he was
going today. AS a result the Fire
Rescue Squad had a busy morning.
The 14-year-old horse slipped
into an aperture between his stall
and the wagon he was to pull. Fore
and hindlegs became damned un-
der the wagon, and Willie'S back
was pressed against the wall of the
stable.
Fire Rescue Squad members
worked an hour, tearing out Sec
tions of the stable, and finally
righted Villa with a block and
tackle.
johnson and Willie took the day
off today.

DEBATES MONEY
FOR MEMORIAL
Opponents of Plan See
Certain Defeat

Construction Of the proposed
Pantheon memorial to Thomas
jefferson on the south end Of the
Tidal Basin was in danger today
as a House subcommittee de-
bated the question Of apropriat-
ing $4,000 to begin work.
Opposition in the House Ap-
preparations deficiency subcom-
mittee was considered by OPP
ponents of the proposed type Of
memorial as sufficient to kill the
appropriation.
DEFEAT HELD SURE
They were confident, however,
that should the subcommitte rec
ommend the funds the proposal
would be defeated on the floor as
it was last year.
Several witnesses, members Of
both Senate and House, led by
Representative John j. Boylan
CD Of New York, chairman of
the Thomas Jefferson Memorial
Commission, appeared before
the subcommittee yesterday in be-
half of the appropriation.
On the other hand, another
group, led by Representative Kent
Keller CD of Illinois, chairman
Of the House Library Committee,
fought the commission.
Keller's committee yesterday
filed a report describing the me-
mortal plans as resembling a
"toadstool on a meadow" and
asking abolition of the present
commission. 1t recommended Gre
alton of another commission and
construction of the memorial on
the apex block, Constitution and
Pennsylvania Avenues Northwest.
HOME NEED HEARD
The deficiency subcommittee
also heard arguments for contin-
uation of the Children's Receiving
Home and the Industrial School
for Girls, which would be discon-
tinued under the District supply
bill.
Representative Clifton Wood
rum CD of Virginia, subcommit-
tee chairman, said the Subcon1-
mittee would meet Wednesday to
complete action on the deficiency
items,

Calculations Complicated
DIVA figures in the education field are exact
L The Ickes agency has donated 1854 900 900
and loaned $83 100000 for school building prof.
ects, making total of $347, 100000.
From here on, calculations become complicated
The Office of Education, however, recently pub
lished an estimate that, exclusive Of school build
ingS the Federal Government Clipped in $685..
100000 more for local education in 1936-37. AS
suning they will be not less than $135, 100000
for 1898, and adding up the first four years,
we obtain total Of SSH, 900, 900 for five years.
Nonemergency- building contributions for 1886
81 amount to $5S,000OOO. The WPA's National
Youth Administration put out $27 100000 for
poverty scholarships. The WPA education pro-
gram cost another $25 900 900 to teach about one
and a half million grown-upS and pre-school
children. The remaining $25OO0OOO was spent
by iva, CCC and sundry alphabetical soupers-
putting the Government into the local education
system to the tune of nearly billion and 8
half dollars.

nantly that their billion and half to educa

likewise does the leopard never change his spots
The Government has grip over the national
education to greater degree today than it ever
did before. Money talks-and how. when political

II there has been no currency depreciation,

WRIT OF ERROR
GIVEN MULLEN

A writ Of error in the unethical
conduct conviction several months
ago by the Board of Police Court
Judges against John P. Mullen,
washington attorney, was issued
late yesterday by the United States
Court of Appeals.
Attorney William E. Leahy con-
tended for Mullen that the board
was without jurisdiction to order
his suspension and that the evil
dence presented against him did
not constitute improper unpro-
feSsional practice.
Mullen was suspended on a
charge of soliciting business I'M
officially. The Six-month Suspen-
sion has been in allegiance pending
the action Of the appellate court.

Once a boom has occurred,
and raw materials have been
bid up too high in relation to
finished goods, a drastic COR
rection is necessary. Conceiv-
ably, raw materials could be
reduced to their usual relation
to finished goods, and be held
there. This, however, would
probably mean more Of a de-
cline in finished goods, and q
