Apparently Feared
Defeat at Hands of
Farm Bloc, Backed
By Powerful Farm
Organizations

Washington, May 15-(AP)-Ad-
ministration leaders, apparently
fearing defeat, suddenly changed
plans and refused to permit the
House to consider or vote today on
changes in the wage-hour law
Strong farm bloc opposition had
developed over the weekend. To-
day, when the House met, Chairman
Norton, Democrat, New Jersey, OF
the labor committee, announced on
the floor that, contrary to expecta-
tlonS, he would not ask for consid-
Grafton of the amendment. House
leaders had planned to call up the
provisions under a procedure which
would have required a tHo-thirds
vote for passage and which would
have prevented any alterations to
the committee-approV amend
mentS
1t was learned that they agreed
there was little chance of obtaining
that degree of support, especially
in view of the firm opposition Of
five farm organizations, which said
Saturday that the amendments, in
stead Of exempting more agricul-
tural labor than the present law,
would place agriculture in straight
jacket"
There was no immediate indica-
ton whether Mrs. Norton would
decide later to attempt to obtain
House approval for the changes or
whether the question would be
dropped for this session of Congress.
Farm members, backed by the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
and other leading farm organizations
objected to amendments intended to
clarity exemptions pertaining to ag-
ricultural labor.
The law now eXempts from both
the wages and hours provisions
farming operations in the ''area of
production" as defined by Elmer
Andrews, Wage-hour administra-
ter. Difficulties in administration
induced the committee to substitute
a section exempting Is specific farm
operations, SO that employees per-
forming that could be on duty a
maximum of 60 hours a week be-
fore the overtime provisions for pay

Raleigh, May 15.-Not even gin-
let-eyed Oman armed with all the
scientific apparatus of Hoover's
crack sleuths could have found more
than trace Of political discussion
or activity on the surface Of Raleigh's
affairs last week.
What goings-on there were went
on in so furtive fashion, if at all,
that they defied detection.
Even the crying spell Of Robert
R. Reynolds, staged in the U. S. Sen
ate Thursday, caused no more than
a bit of sly laughter in political cir
cles.
There were no formal announce
ments Of candidacy; only few
stories on ''inside manipulation and
boss trades; and not even rumors
enough to get excited about.
In view of the announced desire
of the governor that there be no for
NAL announcements is until late in the
year, there is quite likely in prospect
a period Of calm, under cover OF
which all the really serious candid
ates will continue to work hard on
their organization jobs; while others
who haven't the least intention of
ever getting around to the point of
putting up the 500 filing fee will
continue to enjoy being prominently
mentioned' for the governorship.
According to reports reaching this
bureau, Wilmington's Mayer Tom
Cooper did a bit of travelling in his
immediate section of the State in
forming all and sundry that he is 60
ing to run. He also issued a violent
attack on the transportation of gas
oline in trucks, with obvious political
motives behind the statement.
A man who ought to know told
your correspondent that Lieutenant
Governor w. P. Horton will an
nounce, within 80 days., but even
more reliable sources have been
wrong previously on announcement
! dates; so it's passed along only for
what it's worth or not worth.

Philadelphia, May l5.-(AP)-The
Textile Workers Organizing Com
mittee, powerful CIO affiliate, was
merged today with the United Tex
tile Workers of America, a CIO
group that ousted its president five
months ago for trying to reaffiliate

700 delegates at the opening session
of simultaneous national conventions
of the two organizations. The new
union will retain temporarily the
name of the United Textile Workers
Of America. 1t will take over all
financial organizations and labor
contracts of the TWOC.
A few minutes before the merger
vote, the United Textile delegates
ratified action Of the union executive
council in expelling former Presi-
dent Francis J. German last jan
uary because he had 'entered upon
a dual and disruptive course of con-
duct"
German had proposed that the
United Textile Workers secede from
the CIO and join the AT of L, OF
