The young husband waived extra

ing a warrant charging murder and
was returned here this afternoon
Ifor questioning by Deputy Chief j.
P. Fleming and detectives. Arraign-
ment was deferred until Monday.
Before leaving Brattleboro, he

but saw his first chance last night,
when his attractive dark-haired
wife asked him to bring her a glass

i. 5. Labor Warned
Against Optimism
Based Upon War
Bureau Sees Contrast
Between Conditions
Prevailing in 1914
~ the Associated Press,

~ the Associated Press
The Labor Department eau
toned American workmen yesterday
against expectations that war orders
flowing from the European conflict
would boost employment and wages
as they did in 1914-1917.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
said there probably would be a ten
dency toward rising prices and in
creased employment" but noted a
dissimilarity of conditions now and
in 1914.
The outbreak of war in 1914, the
bureau said, virtually cut off the
vast flow of immigrant labor, thereby
contributing to the exhaustion of
the labor supply at q time of in
creasing employment demands by
war industries.
Large Reserves Noted.
In contrast, the bureau noted the
reserve of unemployed workers avail
able.
I'm addition, there are now i'm
proved machines and techniuues
that have been thoroughly tested
and are readily available for vastly
increasing the productivity Of labor
whenever demands for the product
warrants their more extensive use."
the bureau said.
"On this account, as we'll as be-
cause OF other circumstances. it is
unsafe to assume that war orders
will now have an effect on employ
ment and on wages analogous to the
effects of the World War"
The experts observed, however.
that ION the assumption that the
war continues for a considerable
period certain basic resemblances to
the World War are apparent.
THE division of man power and
resources from normal production
Into wartime channels and the
destruction and Gripping of produc-
tive facilities abroad will induce a
scarcity that must tend toward
rising prices and increased employ
ment."
Discussion BY c. of C.
AIN SASSe VI wal IAIlC Uuy llS OIl
American business activity was the
subject of comment during the day
by the Commerce Department and
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States
Secretary of Commerce Hopkins
said the rush of new orders for raw
and semi-flnished materials, which
developed at the outbreak of the
war, had tended to decline.
During the past month"; he said,
there was an "emergence of an
attitude of caution among business
men and an approach in a states
manlike manner to the problems
arising from the war"
However, business activity in
creased substantially in all major
areas during October, he said.
The Chamber of Commerce said in
its weekly review that domestic
business, not foreign business" was
scarcely responsible for the general
business concern that the present
rate Of production would build up
inventories too greatly The cham
ber said:
"Of course, inventories are being
built up. They must be built up in
production Of customers" Invento-
ries, it added, had been depleted by

Franco Sends Arms

Plan for Attack

BURGOS, Spain, March 13. tUP)
Train loads of artillery and munt-
tions moved up to the front lines
today as Gen. Francisco Franco
pushed preparations for a Nation
alist offensive against Madrid.
The intensive military prepara-
tionS over the weekend Indicated
that Franco was planning to strike
soon in an effort to smash the rem
nants Of Republican resistance in
both the Madrid and Valencia
areas-probably before the enemy
has time to recover from bitter
fighting that marked last week S
rebellion and counter rebellion in
Republican territory.
A Spanish National war cores
pondent returning from the Madrid
front lines said that deserterS from
Republican ranks estimated that
the Republican defense council
troops suffered 1000 casualties last
week fighting the Communicated
army rebellion in the capital alone.
The rebels suffered at least 1000
casualties, the deserters estimated.

MADRID, March 13. tUP)-
Leaders of the Republican defense
council asserted today that they

and that tranquility prevailed thru

They said the council would now
hasten to apply measures adopted
before the troop rising, and it was
believed possible that Gen. Jose
Miaja and his colleagues might
now make a serious effort to get
satisfactory peace terms from the
Nationalist and end the civil war.
Defense council troops stormed
the last big rebel stronghold in the
Ell Pardo palace and the national
orphanage yesterday morning.
They released 500 persons.

Sial issues, it was planned to seq
regate the proposals to determine
which ones are to have backing Of
the administration.
While this move to put legisla-
ton on a party basis was getting
under way, Gov. Culbert L. Olson,
in "fireside chat" presented a
pictur eof harmony between the
executive branch or state govern
ment and the conservative, Repub-
lican- controlled senate.

the much talked-about plan to put
the unemployed to work by enact
ing production-fo -for-use legislation.
Only opposition to "works pro-

said, was expected from small
minority in the upper house. That
group, he said, was unable to re-
concile itself to legislating the
government into business even tho
it approved of the government op-
Grating public schools, building
highways and other public enter

Olson said further that he had
assurance from many members of

aiding such a program.
State Relief Administrator H.
Dewey Anderson was not so con-
fident, however, that the produc-

dressing a legislative conference,
Anderson warned that if the legis-

that failing, the measure would be
placed before the people by initia-

Hitler
Invites
PorIey

PRAGUE, March 13. tUP)-Nazi
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler today invited
Josef Tiso, ousted premier of Slo-
vallia to confer with him in Ber-
lin.
At the same time, it was disclos-
ed that Hitler had postponed pro-
posed visit to Vienna on Wednes>
day to participate in great mill
tary parade celebrating the first
anniversary of anschluss or union
of Austria with Germany.
The invitation to Tiso, whose
cabinet was ousted by the central
CzechoSlovak government at
Prague in a move to crush agita-
tion for separation of Slovakia
from the Prague regime, was an
nounced by the official Slovak
press bureau.
The announcement followed
statement by Berlin source close
to the Nazi government that Ger
man interests had been menaced by
the conflict between the Slovak
autonomous state and the central
CzechSlovak regime at Prague and
that it could be assumed Germany
would intervene in one way or
another.
Tiso, who had taken refuge in
monastery after being removed
from the premiership by Federal
President Emil Hacha, returned to
Bratislava today from Banovce and
conferred with leaders of the Slo-
yak Peoples party. Thereafter he
went by automobile to Vienna to
catch an airplane for Berlin.
Previously, Tiso had appealed to
Hitler for support in his quarrel
with Prague.
Although Hacha had since nam
ed Karl Sidor, leader of the Hlinka
Guards in Slovakia, as premier to
succeed Tiso the appointment OBJ
viously did not satisfy Germany,
Hitler's invitation to Tiso emphas-
lied that viewpoint.
At the same time, the Nazi press
bitterly attacked the Czech govern
ment, and there were reports OF
serious clashes in which members
of the German minority N Czecho-
SloVakia were involved on the side
of Slovaks opposed to the Czechs.
