RAT TURNS LIGHT

Last night about II o'clock, Inscoe

The station was dark, but lights out

Suddenly, light came on, and De-

voting would either cast their ballot
for or against whatever proposal

1t also was suggested that before

testing the device. If it is approved,
they said, it might be used on COM

Held Same as
Communists
John P. Frey Declares
Proposal Was Advanced
Two Years Ago
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An A. F. Of L. oflcial charged
bluntly last night that the labor
unity proposal advanced by John L.
Lewis was that advocated by the
Communist party.
In a statement, John P. Frey,
president of the A. F. of LIS metal
trades division. described as "iden-
tical Mr.. Lewis proposal and one
he said the Communist party ad-
vanced two years ago.
He referred to the suggestion from
Mr.. Lewis, head of the c. l. O., that
the A. F. Of L., G. I. o. and Railroad
Brotherhoods unite in a national
labor federation. Mr.. Lewis made
his proposal Immediately after the
f1rst A. F. Of L.-C. I. o. peace con-
ference held at the White House re-
Gently.
A. F. Of L. leaders already have
rejected Mr.. Lewis suggestion, call
ing it "impractical"' and one which
offered no possible solution of the
problems arising from the conflict
between c. I. o. and A. F. OIL.
A. F. Of L. Stands Firm.
Although the c. I. O. proposal
technically still is on the agenda of

F. OF L. negotiators which said I'VE
are confirmed in the conviction
earlier expressed" that the plan Of
fered no solution.
This statement added that the
proposal bears all the earmarks of
the type of united front which does
not unite but divides"
Mr.. Frey, who appeared before the
Dies committee investigating un-
American activities last year and
charged Communists had gained
footholds in many c. I. o. unions,
said in his statement:
"One of the most serious problems
presented by the c. I. o. has been
the infiltration of Communism,
Communist policy and Communist
tactics and the control secured in
many local unions and national
organizations affiliated with the
c. I. o.
1T will not make the problem of
unity between the A. F.. of L. and
the G. I. o. easier to solve when it
is understood that the first pro-
posals for unity advanced by the
G. I. o. we're identical to those
prepared by the Communist party,
with Moscow's approval, two years
ago."
Mr.. Frey said a resolution adopted
by the Communist party in June,
1887, read:
1--WE must never cease to de-
mand the unification of the trade
union movement. In line with this
policy, the party has raised the
question of the convocation of a
trade union unity congress of the

Cardenas 'Accepts'
Discussion Of Oil
Controversy
Mexico Celebrates First
Anniversary Of Seizure
Of Foreign Property
By the Associated Press.

81 the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, March 18.-Pres-
ident Lazaro Cardenas announced
tonight that Mexico accepts discus
sion" of the appropriated foreign
oil industries plan for settling the
year-old appropriation controversy.
The precise meaning of Cardenas'
statement was not clear and there
was no elaboration from the Presi-
dents Office or the government press
agency.
Donald R. Richberg, counsel for
the oil firms, presented the plan
under which the government and the
appropriated industries would CO.
operate in joint operation of the
properties.
Mexicans Celebrate Holiday.
The Mexican government, Car
denas said in an official statement,
accepts discussion of the proceeding
that Mr.. Richberg proposes, and
that fundamentally consists in that,
once each of the parties establishes
the quantity of respective invest
ment, the percentages of income
that each should receive shall be
calculated"
Mexico observed a joyous holiday
IN celebrating the first anniversary
Of its appropriation of oil properties
valued at 100000
The appropriation was followed
by an economic depression in Mex
leo, difficulties both in producing,
distributing and selling oil and a
diplomatic break with Great Brit
ain. But today there were barbe-
cues, dances, sports festivals, special
school programs and parades in
Mexico City and elsewhere, espe-
cially in the oil zones around Tam
pico.
Anniversary of Economic Freedom.
The day was called the first an
niversary of economic emancipa-
tlon." Tomorrow there is to be an
other celebration here in the great
square beneath the presidential pal
ace, demonstration by labor and
political leaders, at which President
Lazaro Cardenas is scheduled to
speak.
Today's program included a sports
festival in the National Stadium.

President Cardenas announced the
appropriation of the oil properties in
radio speech last March 18. He
charged the oil companies with To-
mentlng revolutions whenever it
suited their advantage and with at
tempting to control the Mexican
government and the countrys eco
nomlc and social life. He charged
the companies with displaying re
belllous attitude even toward the
Supreme Court of Mexico.
The oil companies branded the ex-
preparation an unwarranted. illegal
confiscation.
Oil Output Has Slumped.
OIL production has dropped since
the appropriation. The administra-
ton newspaper Nacional placed 1888
production of crude petroleum at
100000 barrels, as against 49,

SQUALLS ABOUT
 READY TO COME UP
Unless an Unforeseen Mis-. hap Occurs Sub Will
 Rise Inside 2 Days
BY GARDNER FROST

tUnlteQ FfeSS Stafr COffeSpOn0enGD
 Aboard the Yacht Mary Chiffon, Off Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. IA - UP)-(Via radiophone to the Unit cd Press)--cheered by President Roosevelts personal message of Well Done," navy salvagers hoped to lift the sunken submarine Squa- Jus and its 26 dead men 100 feet nearer the surface tomorrow or Wednesday.
 Divers sought to adjust the top most pontoons downward so the second lift will raise the submersi- ble 100 feet above the uncharted mud-bank on which 1t grounded while being lowed shoreward Satur- day.
 President At Scene
 President Roosevelt arrived yss- terday afternoon aboard the cruiser Tuscaloosa and stayed an hour and a half. Though commander-in- chief of the navy, he insisted that he be considered an ordinary sight, seer" and that the work continue.
 Because of heavy seas. operations were confined to the checking of hose lines and cable connections.
 Before resuming his vacation cruise. MT. Roosevelt sent this mes- sage to the "Squalus salvage work CTS from the president and com mander-in- n-chief of the army and navy:
 I'm greatly pleased with the dit- ficult and arduous service performed by the officers and men of your unit. Well done."
 Will Sail North
 Rear Admiral Cyrus W. Cole, navy yard commandant with whom the president conferred for a half hour, said MT. Roosevelt had indi- cated he would sail north until he "got tired" and would swing south ward again, probably visiting Ports- mouth on the return trip.
 After the second lift the subma- = rine will be lowed five miles to a sandy bottom nine miles off Ports- mouth between the Isles of Shoals and the mainland north of Rye.
 Only one other lift and tow was expected after that to drydock at Portsmouth navy yard where the hull will be opened and the 26 be- dies removed.
 Today only the three stern pon- toons and 32 air lines attached to them, and seven submerged pom toons, were visible on the surface.
 175 Feet Down
 The Squalus rested with her stern fast in the mud-bank ITS feet down and her bow tipped downward to bottom at 200 feet below the sur face. Steadying the Squalus. the three upper bow pontoons had been dropped 20 feet to lower the for ward section to the bottom.
 Preparatory to the next lift, the topmost bow pontoons will be sent down to the l00-foot level. The stern pontoons will be dropped 30 feet. When compressed air lifts these pontoons to the surface. the Squalus will rise in it's cradle of chains to point about 100 feet be- low the surface-if all goes well.
 The sea remained rough this morning and indications were that salvagers would be able to do only routine surface work today.
