DAY IN H0USE0F REPRESENTATIVES, IS NOT
 HOT, BUT QUITE NOISY
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June "A spring day in the House of Representa- tives:
 The House COCK, wreaJneu iIl glld- ed fruit, twitters electrically toward the noon hour. The House meets at noon. Committee sessions occupy the morning. A hundred spectators are scattered about the 1000 gallery seats. Some are nonchalantly read ing newspapers. That will stop promptly at 12 noon. No paper reading allowed in the galleries when the House is in session.
 One m m Der, Representative Powers of New Jersey, sits alone in the center of the chamber, scowling over a Congressional Record. Some body abuse you in there, MT. Powers?
 Representative Treadway of Mich igan arrives, walks across the well in front of the speakers desk, and out again. Too early. It is three min- utes to 12. In another minute half dozen arrive, then a score. The Re- publican side draws them fastest. That is because of Joe Martin of Massachusetts, the minority leader. He keeps his men on the floor and as a compact bloc they have dealt the Democrats rough blows this session.
 Representative Tabor, Republi- can of New York, comes in, tall, belligerent He will object to some thing or other during the day.
 Bald and stocky Majority Lead CT Rayburn of Texas comes in from a side door and marches to a special microphone. Says nothing. Regular poker face. The din is growing. Always din in the House. The loud speaker system is to drown out the whispering and talk ing.

FOUR MEN ESCAPE

BIRKENHEAD, England, June 2. British Admiralty officials ex- pressed the belief this forenoon that the Davis lung" escape method has been abandoned to preserve the air supply for 90 men still trapped aboard the new submarine Thetis which, in a test dive yesterday. re- mained down.
 The submarines tail is above water at low tide.
 Four of the 94 men aboard the Thetis, when the sleek sub dived into mud and sand below 135 feet of water in the Irish Sea came to the surface early today. trapped with oxygen rescue masks. but when no more men emerged by d-afternoon, several hours after the last four of the escaped men came to the surface. the Admiralty officials surmised that the system was suspended
 Rescue efforts were speeded up outside of the sub as naval experts hurried preparations to cut holes in the fin-like tail of the Thetis, glinting above the surface, while the nose lay in the mud.
 It was hoped to cut holes above the water at low tide and release the foul air and permit fresh air to be pumped in, and hope eventually that one hole could be widened so the trapped men could be released through it.

Proposal of
 Union Peace
 Is Drawn Up
1 ane Urges Strong Lines Between Jurisdil-
 tionaI Fields

After several meetings with various unions involved in local building trades fricton, George Lane. repre- sentative of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific, today released a proposal which has been presented to all unions in the controversy.
 The sum and substance of the pro- posal, will, if effected, as Lane said he sincerely hoped" draw definite line between CIO and AFL and give unions, contractors and public of Juneau confidence that jurisdic- tional disputes will become some thing of the past"
 Hope for Settlement
 Going to the core of the solution probability, Lane received the fol- lowing wire from Dr. J. P. Steelman Director of Consolidation with the Department of Labor in Washington, DC; Have taken the matter up with proper labor officials here. Am hopeful of an early amicable settle ment."
 The proposal, which will keep AF'L in the building trades, and CIO in the mine, transport workers and longshore ranks, in Juneau, with little danger of overlapping juris- dictions and resultant friction, is as follows:
 "The Maritime Federation of the Pacific having as it does members of both the A. F. of L. and c, l. O. as affiliates is naturally concerned over any jurisdictional fight which ulti- mately it conceives to be threat to the entire organized labor move ment.
 Tn order, therefore, that the pres ent jurisdictional dispute in Juneau may be settled on basis where all workers have the right to enjoy col 1ective bargaining and obtain the highest wages and best conditions possible, as representative of the Washington District Council No. 1 of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific, I offer as suggestion for the solution of the present situation in Juneau the following:
 Suggestions Offered
 "1. That the O. l. O. Allied Trades Union Local 943 of Juneau agree to disband That they send their char ter to Washington District Council No. 1 of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific, 86 Seneca Street, Se- attle, who will assume the responsi- bility of returning the charter to c. I. o. headquarters.
 "2. That the A. F. of L. Carpen- ters and Joiners Local No. 2247 agree

 Speed isn't. all that is packed in his shiny grey coat, either. He has the stamina of a circus elephant. It is not unusual for him to De work ed six or seven miles before an im- portant race. He likes that sort of marathon warm-up to get loosened and be ready to turn on the speed. Gentle as a child's pony, the big gelding is a stable pet. Only one thing really upsets him, and that is to be refused an orange the first thing in the morning.
