Further Intervention
By New Deal Seen as
Labor Talks Recess
A. F. l.-C. !. O. PorIey to
Be Resumed Here
March "a

Further intervention of admins
tration officials In labor's peace ne
gotiations appeared likely today as
reconciliation efforts were In recess
until March "a, when they will be
resumed here.
A week of discussions between
special committees of the A. F. of
L. and the c. I. o. ended last night
IN New York City with announce
ment OF the recess and change Of
scene, plus the noncommittal state
ment that:
I'VE don't want to assume that we
haven't done anything. We have
done the best we can"
Speaking for both groups, Harry
c. Bates of the Federation Commit
tee said the nine-day hiatus was the
shortest possible interruption, ex-
planning that the A. F. of L. nego-
tiators desired to confer with Will
liam Green, Federation president,
while two members Of the c. I. O..
Committee were to be engaged in
coal wage negotiations.
With the conferences being pro-
posed initially by President Roose-
velt and with Secretary of Labor
Perkins particularly active, in the
peace efforts. there is adequate rea-
son to believe the administration
will not stand by while prospects of
peace collapse. Thus far there has
been little real evidence of progress
by the two committees.
Although she had declared her be-
lief she would not participate in
person In the sessions, Miss Perkins
Unexpectedly Joined the conferees
for nearly an hour during their first
meeting here. And during their
week end of meetings in New York
the Secretary issued a new plea for
agreement with a reminder that the
rank and file of both groups has
manifested q desire for peace.
The next meeting will be held at
the Labor Department.

Criminal Action j
In Transamerica
Probe Suggested
Possibility Referred
To in S. E. 6. Brief
Defending Court
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Securities and Exchange
Commission suggested yesterday the
possibility Of criminal action grow
ing out of its investigation OF Trans
america Corp, San Francisco hold
ing company.
The S. E. C. reference to such a
possibility was In brief filed with
the Court of Appeals in defense OF
District Courts refusal to enjoin
the commission from looking into
the affairs of the Bank of America
National Trust & Savings Associa-
ton as related to Transamerica
Corp. which has large interest in
the bank.
Legal Precedents Cited.
The brief cited legal precedents
In support of it's contention that 1t
was proper for the Secretary of the
Treasury to make available to other
governmental agencies reports of
national bank
1.-THE investigation, in the course
of which the commission obtained
information (about Bank of Amer
ica) from the Treasury Depart
ment," the brief said, had, poten-
TALLY. both criminal and non n-crimi-
nal aspects; and information OBJ
tanned in the course thereof might
have led to and. for all that appears,
may yet lead to criminal prosecu-
ton.
In District Court, Justice Jen-
nings Bailey denied a motion of four
persons for further time to show
cause why they should not be
forced to testify In the commits
sion's hearing on charges that
Transamerica filed false and mis-
leading" statements with the S. E. C.
Oral Arguments Today.
Justice Bailey ordered oral argu-
inents today on whether the witnesses
should testify. They had refused on
February IA to answer questions at
s. E. c. hearing. and the COM
mission asked the court to compel
them to testify.
The witnesses were Miss Margaret
Mallory. secretary to A. P. Gian-
mini, chairman of Transamerica;
Charles j. Smith, retired San Fran
cisco broker; Carl Stamer, vice
president Of the Pacific Coast Mort
gage Co., and w. E. Clayton, jr.,
secretary treasurer of the mortgage
firm, a former Transamerica affil-
late.
The commission contended in its
brief filed with the Court of Ap-
peals that 'in the absence Of a
(statutory) provision expressly in
sulating banks against the COM
missions inquiries, there is no
basis for the contention that the
relevant records of national banks
are clocked off from the commits
sion's scrutiny"

This is the 32d of a series Of
articles dealing 1oith the audi
toriuna-stadtum problem pending
in Congress-. Further discussion
1DiH tollo,D, and the opinions OF
readers are inDited.
The location of an auditorium
may prove the decisive factor In
determining its financial success OF
failure, in the opinion of officials
of the National Education Associa-
ton, whose long experience in hold
Ing conventions which tax the ca
pacity Of the best equipped cities In
the country makes them authori-
ties on the subject.
Any auditorium too far from the
business and hotel area to be
reached easily on foot faces han
dicap which may well prove fatal to
its ultimate success, In the opinion
of the N. E. A. officials, who eau
toned those in charge of selecting
site for the proposed local audi
torium to consider the question with
the greatest care.
Since 1923 the N. E. A. has held
SO national conventions, with at
tendance ranging from 5000 tc
$4,000 registered delegates. Since
the number of registrations prob
ably does not exceed IS per cent of
those actually in attendance, it is
likely that total attendance at these
meetings may run as high as 10000.
it was estimated.
Not Enough Hotels.
Such a convention obviously
would be an impossibility here, not
only for lack of space for sessions
and exhibits, but also because of
insufficient hotel accommodations
Reparts show that Washington ho-
tells provide total of only $4,000
rooms, of which so per cent are
occupied by permanent guests. OF
the remaining $500 rooms a large
number are required for normal
transient business, leaving available
for convention purposes a number
wholly inadequate for delegates to
such conventions as that of the
N. E. A., it was pointed out. :
The N. E. A. itself holds an an
nual convention each summer, while
the American Association of School
Administrators, department Of the
association, holds an annual session
each February.
Since 1923 these conventions have
been held in % cities, 1t was ex-
planned by Harold A. Allan, director
of the business division of the N.
E. A., and S. D. Shankland, execu-
tive secretary Of the American As
sociation of School Administrators,
who cooperate on the convention
arrangements for the two groups.
I'm those % Cities" Mr.. Allan
said, 1--WE find a centralized, we'll
directed convention center and a
reasonably adequate hall"
Among the best equipped Ameri-
can cities from the standpoint of
the large convention Mr.. Allan listed
Oakland, Cleveland, Minneapolis,
Boston, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Co.
lumbus, Detroit, st. Louis, Port

Fate Of A. D. A. Loan
OF $5oo,ooo Rests
With Conferees
Treosury-P. O. Bill -.
Passed by Senote
Without Item

The fate of the $500 900 loan to
the Alley Dwelling Authority, to con-
tinue it's reclamation of alley areas
here that cannot be reached out of
the separate loan authorized by the
United States Housing Authority,
rests today with conferees on the
Treasury-Post ONCE appropriation
bills
While the Senate passed the sup
ply measure yesterday without re-
storing the item, 1t was In the House
bill, which makes 1t subject to fur
ther negotiation in conference. It
may still be granted If the House
stands by its previous approval. Be-
fore sending the measure to the Sen
ate. the House cut in half the origi-
nal budget recommendation, which
was for q $1,000, 900 loan.
During q brief debate in the Sen
ate yesterday Senators Walsh of
Massachusetts and King of Utah
defended the work of the Alley
Dwelling Authority, while Senators
McKellar of Tennessee and Glass of
Virginia stood by the action of the
Appropriations Committee in strik-
ing out the loan.
Hits Authority's Methods.
Senator Walsh declared "the Alley
Dwelling Authority's expenditure of
money for housing is the only gov
ernmental activity of which I know
that is doing away with slums and
at the same time not providing sub
sides for the tenant to occupy the
houses constructed by the author
ity."
Senator Walsh compared the A.
D. A. program with the plan of the
United States Housing Authority,
'in connection with which we are
committed to subsidies on all our
housing activities" he said. When
he asked Senator Glass why the
item was dropped, the Virginian re-
Piled:
"The reason was that the COM
mittee regarded the activities of this
agency as purely speculative"
Senator McKellar asserted the A.
D. A. has remodeled some houses
and built others with the $500 900
loan recently approved for the Dis
trict by the U. S. H. A.. and that
further loan of $8,4OO,O0O from
the same source is anticipated.
Other Operations Limited.
Ca D. A. officials brought out
in the committee hearings that
the separate Treasury loan is to
eliminate some of the worst slum
alleys in areas where the U. S.
H. A. money cannot be used.
Some of these alleys are regarded
as unsuitable for new housing
development, and the U. S. H. A.
funds can only be used for low
rent housing construction, and
where the land can be bought
within s150 per square foot)
Coming to the defense of the
A. D. A., Senator King later said
he believed Senator Mcclellan was
in error in stating the agency had
received or expended the u S. H. A.
loan
MY understanding is that they
obtained an authorization for a
loan from the housing authority
but they have not yet secured that
loan." said Senator King, adding
that the only money expended has
been the $685. 900 made available by
Congress since the local alley i'm
provement law passed in 1884.
Senator Glass said the A. D. A.
is "now proposing to build hotels
and garages and not dwellings at
ALL"

OCEAN CITY IS
AROUSED AS TO
THREE REFORMS
Passes Ordinance Against Bare
TOrsos, Stray Dogs, And
Bikes On Board Walk

It seems "Maryland's only seaside
resort" Ocean City, has come to the
conclusion that reform is necessary
for the health and happiness Of those
who journey down to the sea.
There are three undesirable citizens
against whom the Council at the Shore
has taken action: first masculine
bathers who delude themselves into
thinking they have Herculean torsos,
which the general boardwalk public
delight to look at; second, dog owners
who allow their pets to run free of
leashes; and third, bicycle riders who
use the boardwalk for their speedway.
Hereafter, those noble specimens
Of human physical development must
confine themselves to the sands Of
coast; to be admired by other scan
tily attired bathing beauties, or en-
braced by the roaring pillows as they
come surging and breaking on the
shore.
The dear little CANNES must tug a.
gainst a leash, or become candidates
for a dog pound or a dose Of lethal
mixture. Bicycles must be deprived
Of the chance of humping into a Pc
destrian who is so selfish as to claim
one little plank of the boardwalk, al
though promenaders are warned to
stay on the porches prior to 8 A. M,
and after IL P. NJ, when the jugger-
nauts are allowed to work their will.
Furthermore, the City Council says
they mean it, this time. Similar or
dinances have been passed before, but
they seemed to have fallen into ip-.
nocuous desuetide. The evils, though,
have grown to such magnitude as to
require renewed and positive efforts
to correct.
