GUARD SLAIN


6Oa lnh<h6Ah<1N 1t0Oss
Arrests and executions of
Iron Guardists continued
throughout Rumania today.
II was Indicated the new gov
eminent intended to svenge the
assassination OF Premier Armand
calinescu by executing all remain-
ing leaders and sub-ieaders of the
outlawed pro-Nazi organization.
IL was understood l6l men had
been executed for participation or
completely In calinescu's death. IN
GLIDING ~ held at one concentra-
ton camp and 80 In another.
Earlier reports had put the total
much higher. In any event. execu-
tions were understood TO be con-
tinuing.
Weed Out Captives
Arrests ran well into the thou
sands, and II was estimated
more than 1000 had been arrested
in Bucharest alone.
Arrested men, and those held In
concentration camps, were being
weeded out-the leaders for execu-
ton, lesser members of the old
Iron guard for early release.
II was said still that the assas-
sination was a purely internal az
fair, and that no foreign complica-
tons were to be expected, but,
at the same time, 1t was reported
some members OF Rumania's ma
tional minorities might be involved.
Bodies Removed
Bodies Of nine men shot In the
Boulevard Carol ii, as Calinescu's
actual assassins, were carried away
in an army truck last night. exact
ly "a hours after their execution.
They had remained on public view
as a warning to terrorists. 1t was
believed they would be cremated.
All public buildings, including
the telephone and telegraph ex-
changes and postoffices, remained
under heavy guard by police and
troops. The country was quiet, but
nervousness was evident among the
people.

sire for eventual revenge In Berlin

ously envisage a declaration Of war
against the u. s. by Germany on
the theory that Hitler could then
sink our ships. They will argue
that this country. like Italy and
the scandinavian nations, climb
high neutrality tree and await re-
suits.
On the other hand, the over
whelming hostility toward commu-
nism on Capitol Hill may swing
enough votes to the presidential
proposition Of backing the Allies
with any methods short OF war

"The policy of the international
Labor Organization in present cir
cumstances is based on the funda-
mental principle which was laid down
by decision of the Governing Body
on February 4, 1889, that the Inter
national Labor Organization should
attempt to function as completely and
efficiently as possible if an interna-
tional crisis should intervene and even
if such a crisis should unfortunately
develop into war.
"This principle was adopted with
the full concurrence of the represent
atives Of governments, employers,
and workers who constitute the Gov
erning Body, and it was subsequently
submitted to the States Members.
Twenty-seven States have replied so
far; all are in favor of the principle.

present situation. The l. l.. O. is tax

The measure would operate under
authority of the right of Congress to
legislate in matters affecting inter-
state commerce, the committee en-
phasized.
"The power of the Government to
prescribe appropriate conditions to
contracts, loans and subsidies award
ed by it is too well established to
merit discussion" the report went on.
Goods Barred From Commerce
"The bill also bars the movement
in interstate commerce Of goods pro-
duced with the aid of oppressive labor
practices. This section was drafted
to follow the pattern of the Wage and
Hours Act, Incorporating appropriate
exemptions to protect common car
riers
''The bill here invokes the power
of the Congress to regulate or to
prohibit the movement across State
lines of goods which offend against
sound national policy.
Labor Spies Offend Public Morals
"No objection can be raised under
the due process clause to the proper
and necessary restrictions imposed by
the bill on the use of labor spies and
similar devices which are offensive to
public morals and dangerous to the
public welfare.
"The loss of revenue to the detec-

makers follows, as an incidental ano
unavoidable exercise of a valid power
