IVA DIRECTORS AT

WASHINGTON, Mar. Is. (UP)
The cmbattled iva directors met
with President Roosevelt today,
the second time within a week,
under orders to settle the bitter
feud in which he has virtually
asked congressional investigation
Of the New Deal power agency.
Chairman Arthur Morgan, mi
nority member who defied Presi-
dent RooSevelt's demands last
Friday to elaborate his charges
against his colleagues, arrived at
the White House alone.
Majority directors Harcourt
Morgan and David Z. Lilienthal,
entered together. Lilienthal APP
parently came prepared to meet
the presidents demands that full
facts in the controversy be pre-
scented for Il final showdown in
the feud.
He carried brief case bullying

Friday when it was charged he
had been baked in efforts to OBJ

France, Britain,
Moving to Stem
Barcelona Raids
Britons Moved by Horror
and Disgust; Paris Asks
Pope's Influence

LONDON, Mar. 18.-CUP)-
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain told the house of commons
today that Great Britain and
France had agreed to try to halt
the bombing of Spanish cities,
and that France was seeking the
aid of the Vatican in the effort.
As the first move, Chamber
lain said, Britain and France in
tended to approach both sides in
the Spanish civil war, with view
to stopping air bombings such as
those at Barcelona.
France would try, he said, to
get the Vatican to associate itself
in any appeal that might be made.
Maj. Clement Attlee, labor par
ty leader, asked Chamberlain re-
garding the bombings:
as it not now clear that this
bombing is directed with a view
to terrorizing the civilian popula-
ton not for any military objec-
tive?"
Chamberlain replied that re-
ports from the British embassy
staff in Spain did not contain
anything to that effect, but add
ed:
"ln any case do not think
anyone can read the newspaper
reports of these raids without hor-
ror and disgust"
The prime minister disclosed
the governments intention to
seek agreement to end the bomb
ings in reply to a question by
Arthur Henderson, laborite,
whether the government would
Immediately draw the attention

RAIL WAGE CUTS
ARE NOT FAVORED

WASHINGTON, Mar. Is. (UP)
President Roosevelt is seeking a
solution for the economic diff
culties of the twenty-six billion
dollar railroad industry other
than by assistance which might be
obtained by wage cuts, he said at
a press conference today. The
president added he does not be-
lieve railroad wage reductions
advisable at this time.
However, he has not seen any
proposal by rail executives to
lower salaries. ,
Rail executives have suggested
the possibility of salary cuts when
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion granted them only 5.3 per
cent increase in freight rates
when they had asked for a 10
per cent advance. The president
was questioned about the propos-
al while the special three-mem-
Der committee he appointed yes
terday began drafting an emer-
pency program to aid railroads IN
financial difficulties.

BRITISH HOME AND DOMINION
SENTIMENT FORCESPREMIER TO
FOREGO CZECH INTERVENTION
Dominions Want No "Med-
ding" But Will Aid Bri-
tain in Any Attack

LONDON, Mar. l8.-(UP)-
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain, his government threatened
by revolt of conservatives that
penetrated into the cabinet, today
was reported ready to announce
that Britain has no intention of
aiding CzechOSlovakia under any
conditions.
Chamberlain's decision, report
ed to have been dictated by the
wary attitude Of Britain's far
flung dominions, was said to hold
good whether Germany or any
other nation commits "aggres-
sion" in Czechoslovakia.
The dominions reported that
they would support Brita n
against any attack but refused to
be thrown into any "meddling."
The prime minister, harried by
cries that chamberlain. must
gow was said TO have framed his
course despite pressure from nu-
merouS members Of parliament
and from France and Russia.
Fast upon rumors that laborltes
and other members of the oppo-
sition might be taken into the
cabinet in order to avert a break
up, there came reports that
Chamberlain and Foreign Minis
ter Viscount Halifax might re-
sign to be replaced by Winston
Churchill as prime minister and
Anthony Eden in his old role as
foreign minister.
A source close to the govern
ment told the United Press that
he had seen the draft of tenta-
tive reconstruction plan having as
it's first point the resignation OF
Chamberlain and the appoint
ments of Churchill and Eden.
1t was expected that when
Chamberlain reveals the attitude
of the dominions the view OF
those urging Britain to make a
pledge of defending Czechoslo-
vakia would be changed funda-
mentally.
In connection with the delicate
cabinet situation the political cor
respondent of the Daily Herald
said that under the reconstruction
plan the government would make
these foreign policy pledges:
/. That Britain's future policy
would be based OH collective Sc
curity.
2. That a guarantee to Czecho-
slovakia would be made only thru
the League of Nations.
3. That there would be no
agreement with Italy unless II
were preceded by the withdrawal
of all foreign "volunteers" from
Spain.
There were other reports that

U.S.COOL, BRITAIN RELUCTANT
IN RUSSIAN BID FOR SOLID
FRONT FOR CZECH DEFENSE

Litvinov said, Soviet Russia and
her worlds biggest army stands
ready to defend Czechoslovakia
alone against any German thrust.
Great Britain was reported re.
luctant to join in any such bold
move of defiance against the die
tators and the United States was
cool toward becoming involved in
what she regards as a strictly Eu-
ropean matter.
The Russian implication was
that the country was prepared to
force a corridor between Poland
and Rumania, possibly on the Ru-
manian side since Rumania is an
ally of France and is bound by
the same treaty regulations as
France and Russia to defend
Czechoslovakia against invasion.
Italy, Germany and Japan were
excluded from the conference in
vitation, Litvinof said, because
sit is fruitless to discuss agrees
sion with aggressors."

PREMIER
ENDS ASSEMBLY

CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. 2 QN.SJ.
Egypt's parliament was dissolved
today, climaxing a long series OF
disputes between members Of the
Chamber and Senate and 18-year-
old King Farouk.
The dissolution was entirely
constitutional, officials stated.
Date of assembly of a new
parliament was fixed for April IL.
Police guarded the senate and
chamber, refusing to permit any
one to enter.
The parliament was dissolved
by Premier Mahmoud Pasha, who
failed to obtain a majority among
the legislators. The premier re-
Gently was appointed by the
young monarch after a dispute
between the former government
ana Cne palace.
Premier Mahmoud PaSha dis
solved parliament instead of re-
signing, it was believed, thinking
he would be able to obtain the
full confidence of the country at
large.
Learning of the dissolution de-
cree, opposition Wafdist deputies,
led by former Premier Nahas Pa
sha, occupied the chamber before
police were able to remove them.
Armed with sandwiches and
other food, they expressed inten-
ton of staging a "stay-in" strike
until the decree is revoked.
