Court Denies Two Indians
Share in Oil Awards

Two Indians, seeking a total of
100000 from the rich oil lands of
the Usage Tribe of Oklahoma, yes
terday lost suit in the United
States Court of Appeals based on the
contention that their father, Bennie
Strikeaxe, was alive and his name
was on the tribal rolls January /,
1906, as the law required
Suit was brought in District Court
by Mrs. Josephine Jump and her
brother, James Strikeaxe, to compel
Secretary of Interior Ickes to place
their fathers name on the final rolls
of the tribe. District Court dis
missed the complaint and yester-
days action affirmed that action.
Secretary Ickes contended the
petition failed to assert that Bennie
Strikeaxe was really alive on jan
uary l, 1906, when the tribal roll
was compiled in response to re-
quirement by Congress.
Distribution of money, based on
the rolls, was made in 1908, and more
than 80 years have elapsed without
a challenge, the court observed in
an opinion written by Chief Justice
D. Lawrence Groner. Associate
Justices Henry W. Edgerton and
Fred M. Vinson considered the case
with the chief justice.
Representing the cabinet officer
were Solicitor Nathan r. Margold
of the Interior Department and First
Assistant Solicitor Frederic l.. Kirgis.

Precautionary Curb
Against Initiation .
By Banks Seen
Lending Powers May Be
CurtoiIed Slightly by
Roisine Reserve Figures
By tie Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
An imminent monetary and bank
ing" step forecast by Federal Re-
serve officials was foreseen by
authoritative sources today as a pre-
cautionary tightening of the lending
powers of banks, to check any infla-
tionary tendency which might arise
from defense spending.
Confirmation of an impending
move involving banking came yes
terday from Mariner s. Eccles,
chairman of the Federal Reserve
Board, and from Treasury Secretary
Morgenthau.
Neither would say exactly what
would be done, but they did not dis
pute suggestions that the reserve
requirements of banks might be
raised in a move which would re-
duce the amount of idle bank cash
by nearly 1000 900, 900.
Mr.. Eccles advocated such a plan
in a recent speech to the National
Industrial Conference Board at New
York.
He said then that some $1,000, ,000,-
900 in excess reserves now in the
Nations banks constituted a poten-
tial threat of initiation, since under
present rules this idle money could
be the base of $56,000,000, 900 in
loans. Excess reserves were de-
scribed as the uninvested portion of
a banks cash after certain percent
ages of deposits have been laid aside
as reserve.
BY increasing the percentage
which would have to be put aside
for reserve, the amount of idle
money on hand would be decreased,
thus rendering less likely the pos
sibility of too liberal lending.
Since the proposed step would
leave about 100000 900 of idle
money in the banks, experts said
it would not seriously affect bank
lending. The value of the action,
they explained. was its possible eff
feet as a warning to bankers and
others that the Government is pre-
pairing to deal with imitation if an
emergency should arise.
Although Government economists
generally saw little danger of in
fation in the next year or two, they
said that whenever billions of dol
lars were spent in short period
for defense or any other purpose,
it was necessary to watch out for
signs of imitation.

There will be no carlton to herald

Ford Carries Fight
On Labor Board Order
'To Supreme Court
Insists Firm Innocent
Of Unfair Practices
In Discharge of q
Ey the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Ford Motor Co. appealed to
the Supreme Court today from a
decision granting enforcement OF
part of Labor Board order requir-
ing reinstatement of % discharged
employees and cessation of Inter
ference" with employees collective
bargaining rights.
The firm appealed from the Sixth
Federal Circuit Court, which ruled
last october that the company was
guilty of unfair labor practices.
'. The lower court refused, however,
to uphold that part of the boards
order requiring the firm to stop dis
pamphlets to employees
outlining the firms views on union
izatjon. 1t was reliably reported
J today that the board and the Solicl-
> tor Generals Office have under
consideration an appeal from this
part of the decision.
Contention in Petition.
The Ford petition told the court
that:
l. The lower court should have
held that it was not an unfair labor
practice to discharge men who were
members Of an organization (the
United Auto Workers of the c. I. o.
which the company had reason to
apprehend would attempt to seize
the plant by force and violence"
2. That the company was denied
a full and fair hearing by reason
of the misconduct of the trial eX-
aminer"
The lower court held with the
board that the company was re-
sponsible for a riot at the River Rouge
plant May %. 1887. This was during
the time of the U. A. w. sit-down
strikes in Michigan's motor plants.
Those strikes" said the Ford petit
ton. and repeated public threats
of U. A. w. and C. 1. o. leaders
during and after them presaged a
; like violent and lawlesS seizure OF
the petitioners plant"
Reinstatement Issue Stressed.
.The company contended that the
, most important part OF the boaro S
order was the requirement that the
firm reinstate with back pay Is out
Z of the 10000 employees.
THE question is of importance,
said the petition, mot because OF
the number of men or the amount
8 of back pay involved, but by reason
of the principle involved. The pc
titioner's witnesses testified before
the board that these were dis
charged, not for union activity or
membership, but for poor workman
ship, fighting, failure to report Tor
work and other misconduct. The
board, however, found differently,
and the court below found the evi-
dence sufficient to sustain the find
ings made"
The company further contended
that the lower court was in error
'in refusing TO hold that the boards
bias and prejudice against the pc
titioner and its pre-judgement OF
the case prior to hearing evidence
or argument, as manifested by the
press releases of the board and the
public statements of one of its mem
bers and its general counsel, were
such as to require the boards order

Mrs. Roosevelt Joins VOTING
Aquinst 'Isms' in News Guild

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, max
ing her first appearance at Wash
ington Newspaper Guild meeting,
last night voted in favor of resolu-
ton virtually condeming 'isms" in
the guild.
The resolution which Mrs. Roose-
welt rose to approve was a reaffirma-
ton by the Washington Guild of its
support of a resolution passed by
the Youngstown (Ohio) Guild, which
stated:
BE it resolved that Communism,
Nazi-ism and Fascism are not in
any sense indicative of the Amer
lean Newspaper Guild and that this
organization will not tolerate any
attempt by these subversive ele-
ments to make or control the policies
of this organization.
Asks Membership Transfer.
While still a member of the New
York Guild Mrs. Roosevelt ex-
planned to guild officers at the
meeting that she had asked for a
transfer to the Washington Guild
but had not yet received a reply.
She was entitled to vote here under
a guild constitutional provision.
Arriving in a black evening gown
shortly after the meeting in the
board room of the District Building
got underway, Mrs. Roosevelt took
a back row seat and few of the
members, at first, noted her
presence.
Only after Mrs. Roosevelt had
voted on several resolutions did a
guild member rise to state that I'VE
have with us very distinguished

bowed her acknowledgment as the
other guild members rose in for
NAL greeting.

quently to catch the flow of debate,
Mrs. Roosevelt heard objections to
the part taken by w. N. G.
delegates in formulating reso-
lutions adopted at the Maryland
and District of Columbia Industrial
Council meeting at Hagerstown,
Md, on December 18.
She laughed when guildsman,
responding to attacks on John L.
Lewis and others, cried:
Il suppose Roosevelt is the only
liberal in the world"
She voted against a resolution
approving the action taken by the
w. N. G. delegates to the Hagers-
town meeting. The Hagerstown res
olution which these delegates helped
formulate and to which the local
guild voiced its disapproval did not
specifically denounce any ''isms" but
instead reaffirmed the convention S
"unshakable belief in our demo-
cratic American ideals and inSti-
tutions and our unqualified support
OF American principles"
After the meeting she comment
ed informally on the Hagerstown
