LABOR GROUPS TO
 TALK PEACE PACT
American Federation to Sit Down With C. To. Lead=
 CTS This Evening

New York, April 4.--(UP)-Amer- ican Federation of Labor and Con- gress of Industrial Organizations peace negotiators resume tonight their effort to unite an estimated F. 750,000 union members.
 CIO President John L. Lewis was reported to feel that two events since the last peace conference have made unity efforts more difficult, if not impossible. One was the action of the Senate education and labor committee in setting April II for public hearings on proposed amend mentS to the Wagner Labor Rela- tionS Act. The other occurrence was a series of attacks on the CIO by AFL President William Green.
 Federation officials declined com ment on Lewis reported attitude, but they believed hearings on the Wagner Act amendments proposed by them twill tend largely to clari- fly the present situation and aid rather than injure current negotia- tions for an adjustment of existing differences"
 Meeting Starts At 8 P. M.
 Tonight's meeting begins at p. m. The AFL negotiators are Chairman Harry c. Bates, Daniel J. Tobin, Matthew Woll, and Thomas A. Rickert. all vice presidents of the federation. Lewis heads the CIO committee, whose other members are Vice Presidents Sidney Hillman and Philip Murray
 It was assumed that the talks will resume where they left off March A. The conferees were discussing the terms on which the fedora ton would take back the II CIO unions formerly in the AFL.
 Several of these unions have wider jurisdictions than they held when they left the federation The CIO is asking that they be admitted as they now are organized.

 The board was notified that the Scovill Manufacturing Company has loaned two lathes and one universal miller for the machine classes at Leavenworth High school at nom- inal rental of $1 year. Superin- tendent Condon reported that this is the third time that the Scovill Company has provided the schools with valuable machines, each lot at the same nominal fee. This generous act on the part of the Sco- will Manufacturing Company" he said, "has saved a considerable sum of money, as the purchase of such necessary equipment would be

was to have come this morning, since 1t was Saturday and his lab- oratory assistant, Miss Trigg, was away for the weekend. Miss Trigg had given up her summer vaca- ton so that George could keep right on with his experiments even though the school was closed.
 It was hard to smile at George, as she opened the door. Hard to say, Hello. Glad to see you"
 I'm glad to see youl We haven't had much time together, have we?" His grave smile lighted up his eyes. Flows your daddy?"
 Better, think. At least, not worse"
 He's well enough for you to go with me on one of our picnlcs tomorrow, Linda, isn't he?"
 Her breath caught. Last sum- mer they had spent many hours in the woods around Queensville. They had roasted wienies over an open fire, baked potatoes, made coffee. Alone with the trees and the soft green grass, George had lain with his head in her lap, his pipe between his teeth, talking out his experiments. Telling her of the setbacks which had dis couraged him, the latest minute little advances which seemed defi- nitely promising. And Linda had hung on every word,
 "You're wonderful, George. She remembered her own voice saying that. Some day you'll be one of the worlds most important scien- tists!"
 He had told her how much it meant to him to be able to talk with her about his work. Your in- terest is like torch, beckoning me on, Linda. Without you"
 Last summer she had been sure that without her, he would not be capable of doing his work. This summer, she knew better. George needed no one. His work was lonely and glorious, but it sprang from an inner compulsion. It was not to dazzle her or anyone else that he persisted, endlessly, in the face of almost unsurmountable obstacles It was because within his own sou there was a love for perfection, an urgent need, passion beyond ex. planation. Microbes fascinted him He was one of the lonely army whc battled in quiet laboratories ano wrote thoughtful papers on obscure and involved phenomena.
 No. he didn't need her.
 And never once in all those long, gone picnics had he stopped his talk of germs to tell her she was lovely, or to kiss her lips. She hadn't mo- ticed, then. Now she knew that what she had felt for him was ad- miration, not love.
 "Linda?" His voce pulled her back to the present moment. i've been looking forward to another picnic. live got some treatises I thought I'd take with me and"

I63-Yeor-OId Mystery Of California Swallows
SAs . S.HAsAAaSsZ~As . .

TT is not probable that birds have knowledge of calendars and dates, but the swallows of San Juan Capistrano Mission, near San Diego, Calif., have set a re- markable record in timing their annual flights. For l63 years the swallows have arrived at the Mis- sion on March l9 and departed seven months later, on Oct g.
 Legend records the first arrival of the swallows on the day the Mission was completed, March l9, l776. Attested records of the past half century show that their com ing has never varied, even during leap year.
 Each year the arrival of the flight is the signal for a battle with swifts, who take possession of abandoned nests during the win- ter. After the swifts are busted, the swallows move in, raise their broods, remain until Oct. g.
 At dawn on that day, Mission authorities say, each swallow takes a last drink from the foun- tain in the courtyard. then flies west across the Pacific. Where they winter is also a mystery, al- though a similar species Is found in Palestine. Ornithologists have not explained their flight across the vast landless areas of the Pa- cifc.
 The swallow is shown on the E4iechienstein Airmail stamp above. violet, of she photosravure series af 1eses N
