MRS. 'ALLISTER
 GIVES ADVICE

New York, June 15-(UP)-Mrs. Thomas F. McAllister, director of the women's division of the Demo- cratic National committee, said to- day that the Democrats can not beat the Republicans at their own game-'trying to out-Hoover Hoov- er."
 Speaking before a meeting of women Democrats from 10 eastern states, she urged loyalty to the New Deal social program as the only method by which the Democrats can remain in power in 1940.
 "The masses of people who saw the Democratic party in 1882 and 1886 the way the to a better life have learned their political power" she said "They are not con- servative. They do not wish for an- other Hoover, or anything approach ing him. They will unite behind our party only so long as it remains liberal"
 '"If the country wants reaction isms, it will not stop with conserva- tive Democrats" she said. Tt will go the Republicans. the experts"

 Immediately following reading of Roberts opinion Robert w. Bonynge, American agent prosecuting this countrys claims, asked that the commission award claims.
 Noting that Germany apparently would take no more part in the pro- ceedings, Roberts said the commis- sion would formally approve the awards as soon as they were pre- sented by American attorneys.
 American Commissioner Chris topher Garnett asserted that with drawal of the German commissioner was designed apparently to frus- trate" the commissions work.
 Letter Introduced
 He introduced into the record let ters notifying the German commits sioner and pr. Richard Paulig, Ger man embassy attache representing that country before the commission, of today's meeting.
 Paulig answered that since the withdrawal of the German commis- sioner the commission "has been incompetent to make decisions and consequently there is no legal basis for meeting of the commits sion at this stage"
 In rendering his decision, Roberts referred to the letters, and to cer- tain other correspondence, and said he agreed with the American com missioner's belief that there was ample precedent for the commis- sion to continue its work and rem der a final decision.
 Observers said that there was ap- proximately $35,000,000 held by the United States treasury, as we'll as other securities, as bond for pay ment of the award by Germany.
 It was indicated that these pay ments probably may be made to in- dividual claimants regardless of the German governments's future po- sition.

BRITAIN TALKING
 ABOUT REPRISALS

Calls It British Bluff

CallS lC brltlSn DUH
 Tokyo, June 15-(UP)-Prince Kotochito Kanin, marshal and chief of staff of the army, and Gen. Sci shiro Itagaki, war minister, consult- ed Emperor Hirohito today and a foreign office source said that any British effort to retaliate for the blockade of the British and French concessions at Tientsin would only increase the gravity of the situation. The fact that Prince Kanin was called in with Itagaki to, see the em- peror, was taken to mean that mo- mentous topics were being discussed. Japanese leaders showed no tend- ency to change their new policy as regards foreign areas in China, re- gardless of any threat of retaliatory action.
 Japan Will Hit Back
 A foreign office source said that if Britain resorted to reprisals, Japan would only stiffen its own attitude.
 The spokesman said that the Jap anese consul at Tientsin had in- formed the United States and French consuls that their interests would be protected" though Amer ican interests in the concessions and the French concession specifically, were involved in the blockade.
 Dispatches from Tientsin said that Japanese authorities regarded the mention of British retaliation as merely a British bluff" And like the spokesman here said any such action would only make the situa- tion worse.
 Chamberlain Warns
 London, June IS = (UP) - Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain warned Japan today against the danger of a "regrettable incident and declared that Britatin is in close consultation with the French and United States governments.
 Chamberlain announce dthat Sir Robert Craigie, British ambassador to Tokyo, had made representations to the Japanese government about the Tientsin blockade, pointing out the danger of provocative" action by the Japanese which might lead to a regrettable incident"
 The prime minister said Sir Rob- ert also called the attention of the Japanese to the serious implications of a Japanese spokesman's state- ment that the objective of the block ade was to obtain much wider CO operation from British authorities ir North China.
 Chamberlain declared that if tht statement represented the views 0. the Japanese government, Japan i using the incident to make larger demands than the surrender of foul Chinese terrorist suspects within the British concession.
 He added that Japan's actior would affect other great powers ant that "close touch is being maintained with the American and French gov ernments."
 Chamberlain, who spoke in com mons, refused to state whether Bri tain would take reprisals such a

thing the worldwide division be- tween the totalitarian and demo- cratic blocs finds the United States lined up with Britain-and that the royal visit had emphasized that po- sition.
 Original plans for the farewell were to have the king address the Dominion by radio, but later it was decided that the queen would speak also, directing her remarks to the women and children of America. The broadcast will be about 2:30 p. m. (EDT).
 The king and queen will receive newspapermen and photographers on the dock before boarding the ship to personally bid them good bye and thank them for the work they have done in connection with the tour" It will be the second time British monarchy has received the press. The other reception was also during this tour, at Ottawa.
 Royal Train in Discard
 Today the royal train went into discard. Their majeSties saw the last of it on the arrival here. Their new home will be the Empress of Britain, on which they will occupy two verendah suites. Like the Elm press of Australia, on which they came from England, it was carry ing only the royal party of g and the crew, from which "all foreign CTS" were temporarily removed. Only British subjects were entrusted with the ships handling.
 Last night, on arriving at New Glasgow, N. S., last city on the tour route before Halifax, the king for the first time showed his weariness and impatience with 30 days of re- captions. On being presented by Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie King to the New Glasgow mayor, N. w. Mason, the king remarked: Please keep it brief; I'm awfully tired"
 The royal party spent the night on the train.

NAOIllllluCQ HUH EdSG 1J was inaugurated by MT. Roosevelt personally at a White House con- ference with A. F. L. and 0. I. O. committees March 2. At that time he hinted strongly that he would take more effective action if pri- vate peace efforts failed.
 Neither Lewis nor Green in their statements yesterday mentioned report to the president.
 Some Lewis Charges
 Lewis said his board had unan- iinously accepted the report of the 0. I. o. peace committee, composed of vice-presidents, Philip Murray and Sidney Hillman, and himself.
 He attacked the A. F. L. leader ship as 'reactionary," centering his fire on A. F. L. vice-presidents. Thomas A. Rickert and Matthew Woll, two of the federations's four peace negotiators.
 "A Iiaison and entente cordiale," he said, exists between the leaders of the A. F. l.. and industrial and financial interests opposed to labor in order to fight the c. I. O. att tempt to emasculate it, and to bring about specialization of anti-new deal sentiment in the country"
 Green Smashes Back /
 "The leader of the o. I. O. has again blocked labor peace. The American Federation of Labor has consistently done it's utmost to ef- feet reasonable peace in the in- terests of labor and of the country Now. MT. Lewis says peace is im- possible.
 ~rhe reasons he gives publicly are too ridiculous to merit serious con- sideration and are offered merely to mislead the public. The real reason is that he does not want peace be- cause peace would automatically end his autocratic control over Q minority group in organized labor.

 Trustees of the institution, headed by Chairman Frank E. Mcclure, of New London, have been investigat- ing the charges but thus far have made no report.
 Charges Exaggerated
 Superintendent Chester R. Water man declared the accusations "con- siderably exaggerated"
 The hospital houses 5000 inmates. The governors commission, whose authority will supercede that of a flve-man commission created by the legislature to study conditions in all state institutions, will have the power to subpoena and will be sup piled with funds to employ special and expert technicians in the field of mental care and treatment.
 Downes, after making public his charges, declared there is plenty to back it up"
 The welfare council report con- tained no comment on the treatment of patients, but noted that "inas- much as the question has been raised, the public welfare council hopes 8 thorough investigation may lead to improvement not only in Norwich but in all the other state institu- tions."
 Other Parts of Report
 In another portion of the report, it was stated:
 Tn spite of increasing restrictions of local initiative and curtailment of budgetary resources, there has been a gradual improvement noted in conditions at Norwich in recent years.
 "The interior of the buildings has been made more homelike and there has been a marked improvement hl the cleanliness and sanitary condf- tions. The clothing has been im-

Will Sign Ton Bill
 Hartford, Conn.,, June 15-(UP)- Governor Baldwin was expected to measure establishing 10-cent toll sign either today or tomorrow a on the super Merritt Parkway to finance construction of the Wilbur L. Cross highway upstate.
 The bill arrived at the Capitol from the printers and has been en- grossed.. Quick signing was expected to enable the state to gain revenue at once from the tolls. At the same time, the governor an- swered criticism of the toll bill by is- suing this statement:
 "The impression appears to be cur- rent, particularly in Fairfield county, that since the Merritt Parkway bonds were issued as Fairfield county bonds, the people of Fair field county are paying for them.
 "The fact of the matter is that these bonds are being paid in full as to principal and interest from the general highway fund collected in taxes from all the people of the state."
