To End Efforts to
Influence Personnel
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy Department asked Con.
gre.ss yesterday to help combat the
distribution among the Nations
armed forces of "subversive" litera-
ture apparently emanating from
Communist organizations"
Acting Secretary Charles Edison
submitted to the House the draft of
bill that would levy a maximum
penalty of two years imprisonment
and fine of $1,000 on any one who
advises soldiers or sailors to disobey
regulations or who distributes mat
ter containing such suggestions.
Literature of nature subversive
to the Government has been dis
tribIted in increasing quantities in
recent years to the personnel of
the Army and the Navy" Mr..
Edison said in a letter to the House.
THE literature, apparently emanat-
Ing from Communist organizations,
seeks to undermine the morale of
the services by urging disloyalty
and disobedience of laws and
/ regulations for the Government of
the armed forces"
The literature, he said, is worded
so carefully that it avoids the in
surrection and sedition laws and
does not come within the scope OF
the postal regulations.
Mr.. Edison said the proposed
legislation would not infringe on
the rights of free speech or of
free press nor prevent any one
from advocating a change IN

ROME, March l.-Fascist circles
reported today that Premier Mus

presence in Rome of Gen. Wolff
Hitler's first adjutant. 1t was be-

in view of their apparent determina-

There abe a number Of compel
ling reasons why an armory-sports
center should be constructed on the
East Capitol street SITE" Capt. Tan
sey said.
"First, the building now occupied
by the National Guard is q disgrace
to Pennsylvania avenue and it will
have to be razed in the near future
to make way for the new central
public library, for which Congress
has provided $50 900 for design and
planning work. The National Guard
also has small armory on the
water front for the 260th Coast Artil-
lery (anti-aircraft. The Washing
ton Channel water front develop
ment now under construction by the
United States District engineer will
require that this armory also be
demolished. The Washington Board
Of Trade and other local groups are
seeking to have this water front
project expedited.
Needs Of National Guard.
Second, the 260th Coast Artillery
recently has been equipped with
new anti-aircraft guns and more
adequate housing must be provided.
Third, the East Capitol street site
for the National Guard Armory will
be adjacent to an excellent drill
field, which is part of the plan for
the permanent development of that
area. Such a field is necessary, re-
gardless of whether the units of the
Guard become fully mechanical.
Fourth, this project has received
the general approval of all agencies
concerned, including the District
Commissioners, the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, and
the National Guard; the first time,
I believe, they have reached a COM
plete agreement on all details"
Preliminary plans for the armory-
sports center building, on q site
south Of East Capitol street and
east OF Nineteenth street. adjoining
the Anacostia Park and proposed
sports and drill field, call for a
structure with a drill hall having a
clear floor space l2O by 2SO feet and
a total floor space in one unit of
160 by $40 feet. Seating could be
provided in this hall for 10000
persons.
The plans also call for four
wings, one each for the l21st
Engineers, 260th Coast Artillery
Special Troops, National Guard. and
the United States Marine Corps
Reserve.

u. 5. Urged 10 Adopt
Wisconsin Job|ess
Insurance Plan
Gerald Swope Offers
Suggestion at Hearing
By House Group
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
Gerard SWope, president of the
General Electric Co., advocated to-
day that the Federal Government
help stabilize private employment by
adopting or encouraging States to
adopt "the Wisconsin plan of plant
reserves"
Testifying before the House Ways
and Means Committee considering
proposed changes in the social secur-
ity system, Mr.. Swope said the Wis
consin plan gives employers an in
centive to develope ways of assuring
steady employment
He explained that under the Wis
consin system, most of the tax which
an employer pays for unemployment
insurance is placed to the credit Of
that employer, instead of being
pooled in general fund.
If the employer keeps unemploy-
ment down and insurance payments
to his workers amount to less than
the fund to his credit, he said, his
unemployment insurance tax is re-
duced the next year.
If business and industry had this
incentive in all the States" the &C.
year-old industrialist testified, thou
sands of workers could be given
assurance of a minimum annual
wage, which is not being done today
because we have no provision in the
law the Federal Social Security
AcD to encourage it,"
Mr.. Swope also advocated that
employees as we'll as employers be re-
quired to pay taxes for unemploy-
ment insurance.
Il would see no objection, if
found necessary, to the employer S
contribution remaining as it is, but
the employe should also contribute
which would increase the amount
available for benefits" he said.
Hands in pockets, speaking crisply
and vigorously, the gray-haired
business executive said that, If en-
ployes contributed to the unemploy-
ment insurance system, they would
have a critical and constructive in
terest in the system.

recognition of the Nationalists, Mr.
Chamberlain awaited the end of the
Spanish civil war as another step in

After that the next pressing mat

New Deal Officials

Gutknecht Says
Reports They Agree 1t
Must 60 On as Force
For Liberalism

John Gutknecht of Chicago, presi-
dent of the National Lawyers Guild,
said today several New Deal officials
and others who were mentioned last
week in connection with threats to
split the guild had agreed with him
that the guild must continue to
| function as force for liberalism
and an enemy of Fascism, Nazism
and Communism"
He said he had conferred with
Solicitor General Robert H. Jack
son, Assistant Attorney General
Thurman Arnold, Securities and Ex-
change Commissioner Jerome N.
Frank, Federal Judge William H.
Holly and others who were reported
to have been aligned with Justice
Ferdinand Pecora of the New York
Supreme Court in his threat to re-
sign because of charges that the
guild was dominated by pro-Com-
muniStS.
Justice Pecora reconsidered and
later said he would remain in the
guild if he could be sure it would
not be used to advance alien
ldeologies. Guild officials contended
use of the names of the other men
in the threat of mass designations
was unauthorized.
Statement Issued.
"They have denied that they have
resigned and are emphatic in stat
ing their desire that the guild con-
tinue to function as a force for lib
eralism," Judge Gutknecht said. He
added that Mr.. jackson, Mr.. Arnold,
Mr.. Frank and other representative
members of the Guild concurred
with him in the following state
ment:
THE guild is devoted to democracy
and the Bill of Rights, including, of
course, the right of free speech on
the part of any person or group.
Democracy in America today is in
tertwined with the retention of the
profit system.
I'VE are opposed to any kind of
dictatorship. Accordingly, the guild
is the enemy of Fascism, Nazi-ism
and Communism. or any other kind
OF dictatorship, any of which is a
threat to American democracy.
Aims Are Outlined.
1T Is not and will not allow itself
to be used as an agent of any
political party or the advocate of
any cut-and-dried economic theory.
1t is an organization of open minded
liberal lawyers who desire to use
their abilities as lawyers to further
the well-being of the great majority
Of Americans and to safeguard our
basic institutions.
AN adherence to the political
philosophy Of Thomas Jefferson
and Abraham Lincoln necessitates
the keeping open of all avenues for
freedom of speech, for freedom of
the press, for freedom of religion
and for the continued enforcement
Of equality before the law and no
discrimination on any racial, re-
ligious or economic grounds. We
believe that social progress depends
on an adherence to those principles,
and those principles are the funda-
mentals of American democracy"

WELLSBURG, w. Va, March L.
Authorities pondered today over ti.,
distribution of the $4,000 estate OF
a 70-year-old recluse who, until his
death week ago in MS one-roonl
shanty, subsisted on charity.
Brooke County Sheriff Robert
Traubert, who said the money was
found in Wheeling and Wellsburs
banks, identified the man as Charles
William Carlson.
The sheriff said neighbors knew
little of the aged man, who had
lived hermit-like existence in his
shack at Power, w. Va, and that he
had no known relatives.
Mr.. Carlson had worked 20 years
in an electric power plant but quit
five years ago. Neighbors and a re-
lief association contributed to his
needs until State relief investiga-
tor found him dead last week.
