The French Line made immediate
arrangements to substitute the liner

The Champlain will sail at 2 pm.
Thursday with the passengers and

Among the passengers were many
Americans who had booked passage
homeWard because of the European
crisis. The passengers also included
30 French cooks going to New York
to work in French restaurant
concession at the fair.
After the fire broke out last night
80 Guardsmen were sent to guard
the Normandie. Harbor police
watched other vessels.
Entry to the port area was for
hidden to all but workers and Off

Paris. The red glare from the fire
was visible for miles. and thousands
crowded as closely as they could to

The Paris plates glowed red hot,
keeping flremen at distance.
Streams Of water from five fireships
on the bay side of the liner hissed
into the blazing superstructure.
Construction of the 768-foot Paris

petition" he added, IAN employer
has all the rights of a party in our
representation proceedings.
THE extensive discussion of this
subject" the chairman continued,
has given rise to the widespread
belief that employers throughout
the country are caught in the mid
die between two unions and that
their failure to eXtricate themselves
is due to the failure of the beard
to SO frame its rules as to permit
them to petition for determina-
ton of representatives.
I'VE have made a real effort to
obtain some facts or figures which
would afford some rational basis for
this belief, but we have been un-
able to do so. To date, we have
had two sources of information on
this subject-our own experience and
that of the New York board. Neith-
er source supports the theory that
the failure of the board to petition
employers to file petitions has been
a prolific cause of disputes or the
prolongation of disputes"
Quick Election Approved.
The chairman took particular ex-
ception to the suggestion in the
Burke bill making it mandatory on
an employer petition that an elec-
ton be held within 20 days.
The. only theory which can pos
sibly underlie this proposal is that
the Congress should amend the law
so that it may be used to prevent
organization altogether; it would be
like holding political elections before
the candidates have been nomi-
mated"
I'VE strongly urge that the right
of employers to file petitions be re-
stricted to cases in which two or
more unions are claiming to rep
resent the majority and that addi-
tional safeguards be considered"
On numerous grounds Mr.. Mad
den also directed vigorous criticism
at the Burke proposals to set up a
list of unfair employe practices, p"
including a prohibition against CO.
ercion of workers from any source, "
suggestion advanced by pro-in-
dustry advocates on virtually every
occasion when a labor relations stat
ute has been under consideration

there was small fire aboard the
French liner Champlain.
French Line officials today an
nounced the steamship Champlain
had been drafted into service to
maintain the schedule of the Paris
and that the passengers would be
given the same type accommoda-
tions on the Champlain that they
held on the Paris.
The Champlain, which was at
Havre and had been used on a
European cruise, it was stated, will
sail from Havre tomorrow and ar
rive In New York April 27. Two
days later it will sail back in place

Russian Attitude
Shifts 10 Policy
Of Britain, France
Roosevelt PIeu to Reich
And ItoIy Praised by
Moscow Journal

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, April 19.-Indications
Of more benevolent attitude in Mos
COW toward British French foreign
policy were seen today in the edi-
torial OF a high-placed journal which
1 also warmly praised President
Roosevelt's non-aggression appeal to
Germany and Italy.
LIE Journal de Moscou, French
language publication which fire.
Quently speaks the attitude of the
foreign office, even conceded that
recent British-French moves-guar-
antees against any aggression of the
Rome-Berlin aXis-were steps in the
right direction.
The editorial aroused particular
interest among foreign observers be-
cause it contained the first kind
words published in Moscow about
Prime Minister Chamberlain and
Premier Daladier since long before
last September's crisis over Czecho-
Slovakia.
Moscow Tossing Bouquets.
AS one diplomat put it, Moscow
has apparently quit throwing stale
eggs at Chamberlain and has begun
tossing bouquets instead. But she
has not yet taken off her coat and
Jumped into the arena"
Others pointed out that this edi-
torial coming yesterday after four
days OF extreme reserve in the Soviet
press, certainly looked more like
British Soviet cooperation than
anything seen here for months. The
next few days, 1t was believed, might
clarity the situation still further.
What LIE journal de Moscou said,
after praising President Roosevelt's
appeal, was this:
The recent speech of the British
Prime Minister and the declaration
Of the French government also con-
stitute step forward for clarif1ca-
ton of problem which agitates all
peaceful people"
"The policy of several states is
evolving in direction correspond
ing to the interests of peace.
"The U. S. S. r., powerful and
peaceful, always has worked for
consolidation of peace. She always
has pronounced herself for a clear
and precise position on the most
important international problems"
Armed Threats Cited.
The publication said all states of
East and Southeastern Europe, as
we'll as the Near East, were direct
~ threatened with armed attack"
with characteristic clarity and
frankness, Franklin Roosevelt has
summed up the international situa-
ton and has drawn the conclusions
which it demands.
"One could hardly expect Fascist
Italy and Germany to give clear
affirmative answers-the policy of
the Fascist states being based on
aggression"
The journal said Rome and Ber-
lin had replied through press COM
ment and by their acts"

Of q business institution, the truth
of the assertion is not full measure
of its permissibility.
Under questioning by Senator
Ellender. Democrat, of Louisiana.
Mr.. Madden denied that the board
or the labor relations law has any
intention of forcing workers into
nationally organized unions as op-
posed to independent units.
Heinz Case Brought Up.
Much of the discussion on this
issue revolved around the Heinz Co.
case, in which the board has ordered
disestablished a non-afhliated union
on the ground 1t is company
dominated.
AS the Senator finally remarked
that II have information that this is
not q company union" the chairman
replied:
Il assume that you are as reason
able q man as I am and that am as
reasonable as you.
II would be very interested in hav-
Ing you study the record in the Heinz
case and see If you are not, as we
were, convinced that it is COM

these cases except on the basis Of

Fahy Next Witness.
Mr.. Madden's testimony in de-
fense of the act and its admins
tration by his board came during
his second full day of appearance at
hearings being held on a series of
amending proposals.
Prepared to follow him in the
boards extensive presentation on
the question was Charles Fahy, gen.
eral counsel Other board members,
Edwin S. Smith and Donald Wake
.field Smith, also were present, and
1t has been indicated that the latter
may be questioned about charges
of anti American Federation of La
Dor bias which has led the A. F. OF
r. to oppose his reappointment.
In his discussion of the employer
petition provision of amending bills
introduced by Senators Burke, Demo-
crat, of Nebraska and Walsh, Chair
man Madden pointed out that only
one of five State labor boards, that
Of New York. grants such privileges
and that the National Mediation
Board, whose functioning in the
railroad industry has been widely
commended, has interpreted its act
mot only as not recognizing the
right of carriers to petition for
elections, but also as not permitting
carriers even to be formal parties
to representation proceedings.

Discovery of a sharp change in the properties of the earth at that depth is reported in Nature by K. E. Bullen of falkland, N. 2. The evidence is an increase in electri- cal conductivity, obtained by pros- pecting with electric currents sent deep into the earth.
 Backing up the electrical evil dence, says MT Bullen, is the fact that earthquake foci, the subter- ranean points where the quakes seem to originate, do not go deeper than about 400 miles.
 There is also the evidence, he said, of quake waves. They in crease speed about 400 miles down, and the higher rate is apparently due to entry at that point into denser material.
 The findings of electricity and seismographs would be explained. MT. Bullen says, if the earth at 400 miles down is made of olivine. This is a greenish stone, also called chrysolite. Some of the forms are semi precious. They are some times called green garnet. The 400-mile form, suggests MT. BulIen. would have to be made of cubic crystals to account for its density. Normally chrysoltie crys- tals are orthohombic, an irregu- lar form in three planes.
