REDS PERIL Clio,
SAYS EDUCATOR

A warning that communism Is
the wooden horse which may
cause the downfall of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization
was left today by DR.. George H.
Derry, educator and lecturer, with
an audience at Gonzaga College.
The part played by the radical
element in the CLIO, DIR. Derry
declared, gave them a wedge to
spread red doctrines induStrially
after the organization of the auto
mobile workers. He said that, in
his opinion, John L. Lewis, CLIO
chieftain, was not Communist.
Speaking under the auspices OF
the Knights of Columbus State
Council, DR.. Derry described Rus
STA, as "the greatest capitaliStic
and monopolistic state in the
World, in which the worker has
no chance to realize his ambition,
and practically no opportunity"
Stain and his II commisSars
control the entire destiny Of the
socialistic republic, DR.. Derry said,
adding:
"And in Russia, the working
man is truly the forgotten man.
The only people making money
there are the bureaucratS and
the government jobholders."

PWA Will Get
PLEA FROM D. C.

District Commissioners will meet
today to discuss means to obtain
better terms on PWA loans for an
addition to Gallinger Hospital and
other local building projects-With
q special view to bringing the
ratio of grants to loans on a
parity with that prevailing in the
States.
Heretofore the District loans OBJ
tanned from PWA have been on
the basis of 10 per cent loan and
30 per cent grant, while in the
States the proportion has usually
been As per cent in grants and 55
per cent in loans.
Building projects in excess OF
100000 are anticipated by the
local government if more accept
able loan terms can be arranged.
These include a 300-bed addition
to Gallinger costing $75O,OOO,
and a new Municipal Court build
ing to cost $1,500,O0
Meanwhile Secretary Ickes has
set August 81 as the deadline for
filing applications for loans in
the new billion-dollar PWA pro-
gram pending in Congress. He
has indicated in the past that he
believes District loans should be
made on the same terms and con-
ditions as prevail in the States
and it is believed the conference
today will make possible the an
ticipated building program for the
District.

Railroads Ask ice to Reopen
Coach Fare Raise Case

ON.S) Eastern railroads today petitioned the
ICC to reconsider its decision of April denying their
application for authority to increase passenger coach
fares from cents to 212 cents per mile. The rail-
roads asked that the be reopened for reargu-
ment.
Saying the true and full character of our pro-
posal has been Inexperienced in the commissions
decision, the petition said: eve are seeking an in
in fares for coach travel not only to secure
revenue in the coach traffic ITSELF but to secure
passenger revenue in the aggregate, because
the present spread between the coach and Pullman
fares has resulted in substantial diversion of traffic
from Pullman to coaches"
The evidence shows the petition said, that "a very
substantial number of passengers are willing and
able to pay the higher fare for the higher standard
of service
Eastern railroads in their original petition to in
crease fares from cents to 21a cents, which was
denied, anticipated they would obtain approximately

party while leaving In effect the
embargo in respect to shipments
to the other party.
Even if the legislation APP
piled to both parties, its enact
ment would still subject us to
unnecessary risks we have SO
far avoided. We do not know
what lies ahead in the Spanish
situation. The original danger
still exists.
In view Of the continued
danger of international conflict
arising from the circumstances
of the struggle, any proposal
which at this juncture contem-
plates a reversal Of our policy OF
strict non-interference which we
have thus far so ScrupulouSly
followed, and under the opera
ton of which we have kept out
of inducements, would offer a
real possibility of complications.
From the standpoint OF the
best interests of the United
States in the circumstances
which now prevail I would not
feel justified in recommending
affirmative action on the reSolu-
ton under consideration.
"Our first solicitude should be
the peace and welfare Of this
country, and the real test OF
the advisability of making any
changes in the statutes now in
effect should be whether such
changes would further tend to
keep us from becoming involved
directly or indirectly in a dan
gerous European situation.

CONGRESS EYES
RAILROAD BOND
INTEREST PLAN.
Waiver Held
Vital to Carriers

G.N.S.) In new effort to save
railroads in a desperate financial
plight, congressional leaders today
considered a proposal to permit
bondholders to waive interest pay.
ments.
Meanwhile, efforts were being
made to speed up congressional
passage of the bill to allow the Re
construction Finance Corporation
to make loans to railroads for
equipment to keep men at work.
PROPOSED BILL
Tie bill to permit bondholders
to waive interest payments was
still in the embryonic stage,
though Jesse H. Jones, chairman
Of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, and George Harrison,
head of the railway labor execu-
tives committee, were understood
to be sympathetic toward the idea.
Senator Truman CD Of Mis-.
souri,, q member of the Senate In
terstate Commerce Committee,
said he thought the proposal had
merit and should be considered.
CONSERVE EARNINGS
AS outlined, the bill would call
for amendment to section II of
the bankruptcy law. Upon ap,
proval of rs per cent of the bolAl,
holders, interest charges could be
waived entirely or in part, as
agreed upon by three-fourts of the
bondholderS.
. This course, it was believed,
would enable carriers in financial
difficulty to conserve their earn
ings for railroad operating pur-
poses.
HEAVIER DEBT
Also, it would spare railroads
short of funds to pay bond interest
the necessity of borrowing money
for that purpose and going heavier
into debt, it was pointed out.
BY enabling IS per cent of the
bond holders to waive interest
payments, weak railroads would
escape the receivership proceed.
ingS that usually ensue when in
tereSt payments are stopped. since
the bond holders contracts gen.
orally provide for that procedure
after they are denied interest, it
was explained.

MEXICO CITY, May 13 GIN
S.. Cardenas was on
record today with an offer to
settle with dispossessed Anglo,
American oil companies by giving
them 60 per cent of the total pro,
duction of their confiscated prop
critics for the next 10 years.
The offer was made the basis
for decentralization of the com
panies for their 500 million dollar
properties, appropriated March 10.
The president said the proper
ties would not be returned to the
companies under any Cricum-
stances, and that they would not
again be permitted to intervene"
in Mexican affairs.
This is a perfectly possible
solution of the difficulty" Car
denaS asserted.
Under the plan. the oil will be

wallace.
In one of the most strongly
worded speeches Of his uncom
pleted two-term career as secre
tary, Wallace made his first coun
ter punch to the attacks of the
Corn Belt Liberty League on his
AAA farm program in a radio
address.
SITUATION ACUTE
"The problem now facing the
corn belt is so serious that
petty and political considera-
tions might well be set aside to
make possible the widespread
and united support of the farm
program" he said.
But instead, new and violent
attacks are launched.
IF successful, these attacks
will wreck the usefulness of the
farm program for meeting the
present emergency.
where would the course
urged by the Old Deal opponents
of the farm program really
lead? I want to go on record
right now. In my opinion, their
course, if followed, would lead
farmers back to a disaster like
that of 1882"
He pointed out that for the past
two weeks, Midwest farmers have
been busy planting corn and de
Gliding whether they will volun
tarily participate in the AAA pro
gram. This is one of individual
farm acreage allotments that will
produce as share of the national
volume Of corn sufficient for do
nestle consumption and export
and to provide an ever-normal
granary, thereby protecting corn
values for both farmer and pro
Queer and yet assuring production
of an abundance to guard against
crop failure in the future.
He emphasized that the farm
program was important to city
people as well as to farmers.

irg 26 Senate votes as working
nucleus, launched its drive with
the support of Virginia's "unre-
constructed rebel" Senator Carter
Glass, and with the reported back

ploy a $500, 000, 900 RFC fund

chairman of the powerful Senate
Appropriations Committee.
Whether the attempt to place
Jones in charge of PWA will be
brought into the open appeared
to hinge on the ability of the Sen
ate's conservative bloc to augment
the 26 votes it claims.
SMOOTH SAILING IN HOUSE
Facing possible trouble in the
Senate, the recovery bill had
smooth sailing in the House. Act
ing with the expediency of the
New Deal emergency" days of
1933-34, the chamber voted final
passage. 1913 to 10, after three
days of debate.
Only IL Democrats joined with
the SO Republicans who voted
against the bill. The action was
marked by the willingness Of
Democratic and Republican leaders
to make renewed pump-priming
a partisan issue, the COP mem
bers carrying the attack on the
bill almost entirely unaided by re-
calcitrants from the other side of
the aisle.
AS finally approved, the meas
ure carried $3,154,425, 900 in au-
thorizations and outright appro-
priations calculated to provide
more than 100000 jobs during
the next IL months.
REA GETS 100 MILLION
The bill included $1,465 ,000, 900
for PWA: $3.50, 100000 for a
seven-month WPA program; $175,-
OOO, 900 for the Farm Security Ad-
ministration: $10O,O00,00 for the
Rural Identification Administra-
ton; SIS, 10000 for the National
Youth Administration, and $780,
100000 for a public-buildings pro-
gram.
In only one major respect did
the Administration suffer a re-
versal. After the White House had
made a 100000 concession to
REA to satisfy a House farm
liberal coalition, the group, still
dissatisfied, took matters into its
own hands and lacked the figure
to $100,0O0,000.
The Senate is expected to take
anywhere from a week to three
weeks for consideration. First,
though, the measure must be sub
mitted to a week Of hearings in
Glass Appropriations Committee.
What may happen there has most
of the Senate guessing.

That there was such a real
