TRUCK STRIKE IS
 LOOMING AGAIN
One Union May Disturb Peace That Was Obtain-
 ed Last Week

Hartford, Conn, April 17-(UP) Disagreement over 13 cents an hour wage slash for Springfield, Mass, drivers on a Shuttle run to Boston, was the only barrier today to acceptance of a compromise agreement to end the Southern New England truck strike.
 Nine business agents of the union, composing its council in Connecti- cut, Massachusetts and Rhode Is- land, met here today to vote on ra- tificatIon of the agreement. Spring. field, it was reported, was the only local pledged in opposition.
 Other locals, it was understood while consenting to acceptance of the contract, instructed their agents to protest the Springfield situation
 According to Hartford Business Agent Herbert J. Miller, there was a possibility the strike might start anew in event the Springfield rate slash meets with general disapprov- al.
 T can't tell what will happen at the conference, except to say it will be an adl-day affair" he said.
 The council conference was com posed of business agents from three locals in Connecticut, five in Mas sachusetts and one in Rhode Island.

Hitler, MussOlini Ready to Accept Some Phases of
 Warning Message ECONOMY PROBLEM
 CONCERNS HITLER Field Marshal GOering Has Left Italy With Reply
 of MuSSOlini
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS

United Press Foreign News Edit0r}
 Adolf Hitler appears to be trying to make the most of President Roosevelt's mes sage asking a totalitarian guarantee against the war for which Europe is feverish- ly preparing.
 The NaZi Fuehrer sum- moned the Reichstag to meet April 28 to hear his reply to MT. Roosevelt's
 MT. Rosevelt's proposal for ten or 25-year peace agreement as pre- Jude to disarmament and economic conferences.
 Hitler was believed in some Nazi sources to be prepared to accept cer- tain phases of the American plan or to make counter proposals iil- tended to get the totalitarian dic- tators off the spot" on which they might be held responsible in event of war. The fact that MT. Roosevelt held out the prospect of interna- tional action to relieve Germany's acute economic problems in return for peace guarantees was believed of special concern to Hitler.
 Mussolini Less Concerned
 Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy appeared less concerned than the Nazi Fuehrer regarding the Roose- welt message but he cooperated close ly with Nazi Marshal Hermann Goer- ing and Hitler in preparing the an- swer of the dictatorial bloc.
 But while the Nazi-Fascist leaders prepared to answer MT. Roosevelt, the world rushed ahead with its preparation against a possible war.
 The anti-aggression front being erected by Great Britain and Fran3e was given great moral encourage ment which it badly needed, by the presidents action, Webb Miller. vet eran United Press correspondent in Europe, reported after a survey in London, Paris, Rome and Berlin. But he found no sign that the peace plan had halted or even slowed up the war-like trend.
 Gibraltar Reinforced
 At Gibraltar, vital British naval stronghold, French warships sud- denly appeared to aid in guarding the western end of the Mediterran- can while the British fleet presum- ably concentrated in the eastern end-thus forming two powerful naval lines on each side of Italy.
 Naval and military precautions were reported throughout the Med- iterranean basin and in Spain, where so many Italian troops are still on duty that the Rome government felt it necessary to give assurances to Portugal that no aggressive action was contemplated.
 Great Britain and France were making rapid progress in their ef- forts to bring Soviet Russia into the

Washington, April 17-UP)- Sen. Edward R. Burke, D., Neb., anti-New Dealer, denounced the National Labor Relations Board to- day as wholly biased and unfair" He urged the Senate labor commit tee to adopt amendments to the la bor relations act which would make industrial peace "a reality"
 Appearing as the second witness before the committee which is con- sidering various proposals to change the present law, Burke accused the present members of the labor board of putting the federal government in the business of stimulating es- tablishment of labor unions," and of being partisan advocates of a particular type of national union- ization."
 He asked the committees permis- sion to present employers and em- ployes who will give you first hand information as to how the act has affected them" This was in an- swer to Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D.. N. Y., author of the labor act, who last week said that the burden oi proof was upon those proposing amendments"

Rev. Charles E. Coughlin Scores Roosevelt Message

"Why obtrude such militaristic thought upon a peaceful people; and who, in the name of common sense, can attack either Canada or the United States 5000 miles dis tant from Europe and 5000 from Japan?
 ''Is our president going over the heads of the people and the senate to establish new league of na- tions described as democracies- which were really the collaborating nations of the universe, dominated by the international bankers?
 Tt is not the business of Presi- dent Roosevelt or any other presi- dent to determine our foreign poll icies. That is the business of the U. S. congress.
 "Once the European chancellories are notified through the passage of a neutrality act that we in America refuse to supply men, munitions and money, then will Chamberlain, Da- ladier, Mussolini, Hitler. Stalin and the rest of them sit down at a com mon table to discuss their common needs for the purpose of arriving at peace
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-04-17

Detroit, April l7.-(UP).-The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin urged in his Sunday sermon that the nation adopt course of strict neutrality in any European crisis. He criticized President Roosevelt for going over the heads of the people" in forming foreign policy.
 The radio priest placed France and England among Europe's unjust aggressors," and said that under no condition should the United States support them.
 "What is difficult for us to uil- derstand is why certain leaders in America are counting a world war even before 1t happens" Father Coughlin said. Since 1887 we have witnessed our official spokesman rarading a vocabulary of belliger- ency which outrivaled anything either Mussolini or Hitler or Stalin ever enunciated"
 He termed an October, 1887, presi- dentiai speech as "ahsurdity," and also criticized Mr. Roosevelt's dedi- cation of an international bridge be- tween Canada and the United States in which he pledged full support If Canada were attacked.

COP. POLITICS IN
 STATE MUDDLED
State Chairman HarwOod to Resign; Gov. Baldwin
 Is Sore at Democrats

Hartford, Conn, April 17-CUP)- Resignation of Republican State Chairman Benjamin E.. Harwood was regarded today in informed quarters as likely in the near future.
 Chairman Harwood refused to discuss the situation. It was re- ported, however, Harwood's physi- clan advised him to quit politics be- cause of his health, ana as soon as possible.
 Some reports said resignation was imminent. Other sources said Harwood would remain until the end of the general assembly session in June. Still other quarters reiter- ated he would not quit.
 Former State Sen. J. Kenneth Bradley, Westport, law partner of Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin and re- garded as the administrations "trouble-shooter," was mentioned immediately as a successor to Har- wood.
 Peculiar Situation
 A peculiar situation existed in Republican ranks whereby Gov. Baldwin and Harwood were regarded as friendly, while Bradley and Har- wood were at swords points. Brad ley, head of the Fairfield county Re- publicans, is allied with National Committeeman Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., Greenwich, who als does not see eye to eye with Harwood.
 Two or three months before the election last fall, there were strong reports Harwood intended to resign. These rumors were reported to have been inspired from the Bradley
