War Map Supplement
Praised as Means Of
ANaying Propaganda
Representative Dempsey
Commends Stor for
FuctuuI Presentation

The more accurately the Ameri-
can people understand the European
war situation, the less will be the
likelihood that foreign propaganda
will lead us into war, Representative
John j. Dempsey of New Mexico
said today in commencing The Star
for the special war map supplement
which was published October 80 in
all editions. Copies of this supple
ment on heavy paper now may be
obtained from The Star business
Office.
In my opinion you have rendered
fine public service in the compila-
ton of this splendid supplement" :"
Mr.. Dempsey said in a letter to The
Star, because it is my feeling that
the more accurately the people Of
this Nation understand the war sit
uation in Europe, the less likelihood
there is that foreign propaganda
will sway their sentiment to the
point where they might sanction our
entry into this war"
Representative Fred c. Gilchrist
of Iowa also commended the supple
ment, which he characterized as
very interesting and informative. "
Similar sentiments were expressed
by Representative William M. Col
mer of Mississippi, member OF the

Demand 10 Halt
Garment Pay-Hour
Hearing Rejected
Southern Plants May
Apply to Court for
Restraining Order
BY the Associated Press.

A demand for discontinuance of a
minimum wage hearing affecting
$50, 900 workers in the apparel in
dustry was rejected today by Trial
Examiner Thomas Holland of the
Wage-H Hour Division.
He declared the reasons for re-
questing discontinuance of the hear
ing were not sound legally His
rejection still left the threat of an
appeal to the courts hanging over
the proceedings.
Albert F. Beasley of Washington
attorney for the Southern Garment
Manufacturers Association, Inc
took exception to the ruling and
said later he still contemplated the
possibility of seeking restraining
order of the District of Columbia
courts to stop the hearing.
Mr.. Hollands authority to con-
duct the hearing was challenged on
the basis that no one occupied the
position of administrator of the
Wage-Hour Division since the resig-
nation of Elmer F. Andrews.
There is no person to whom q
party in interest may appeal from
any action taken by a trial ex-
aminer during a hearing" Mr.
Beasley said.
Mr.. Beasley and w. Gordon Nc
Kelvey, Nashville. Tenn. also coun-
sci for the Southerners, said that
If they did not seek a restraining
order in District Court, their pro-
test at least would serve as a basis
for a Supreme Court test of any
wage order issued for the apparel
industry based on evidence taken
at the hearing which started yes
terday.
They had demanded a halt in the
proceedings until President Roose-
welt appointed an administrator to
succeed Andrews.
Mr.. Beasley argued the adminis-
traitors authority to conduct such
public hearings on an industry COM
mittee's recommendations for mini
mum wages may not be delegated"
But legal advisers of the Labor
Department countered with the
contention that Mr.. Andrews resig-
nation. submitted on October 16, was
not effective until November 30,
when his accumulated leave expires.
Gerard D. Reilly, Labor Depart
ment solicitor, added that Secretary
Perkins designation of Harold D.
Jacobs as acting administrator was
valid.
The recommendations were mini
mum wages of 3211a cents to 40 cents
an hour in the apparel industry of
the United States and a universal
30-cent minimum in Puerto Rico.

Justices Will Decide
Il |ntrastate Tapping
OF Wires Is Legal
Practice Defended by
Roeee in Argument
Before Court

The Supreme Court, which has
outlawed overlapping in interstate
communication, must decide now If
1t is illegal when employed to in
tercept communications within q
State.
The point was argued before the
high court Yesterday in behalf OF
three New Workers, who were con-
victed in lower court of using
the mails to defraud, after evidence
obtained by wire tapping was used
I'M their trial.
The Supreme Court ruling was
handed down In December, 1897,
being based on an Interpretation of
the Federal Communications Act of
1894. Defense Counsel Lloyd Paul
Stryker and Theodore Kiendl argued
yesterday that the same rule must
be applied to intrastate communica- l.
ton as was applied to that of inter-
state character.
Congress intended to do awav
once and for all with all wire-tap-
ping Mr.. Stryker asserted. This
was a dirty business Congress was
seeking to strike down."
Defending the practice, o. John
Rogge. assistant attorney general
said SO per cent of all telephone
communication is intrastate.
Serious practical and constitu-
tional difficulties would arise" he
said. III the decision is extended to
this wide new field"
Questioned by members of the
court. Mr.. Rogge said there was q
difference between "condemninp
wire tapping by law enforcement Of
flcials and by private eavesdroppers u
"Of course, the practice is subject
to abuse" he added, but so Is the
policeman's club"
The convicted New Yorkers were
Joseph ]. Weiss, DR.. Maximilian
Goldstein and Martin Gross. They
were charged with participation in
a scheme to defraud life insurance
companies by inducing them to nav
false claims for disability and acci-
dent benefits.
