Zeal Of U, s. Agencies
To Expand Powers Hit
By the Associated Press.

by LHe kSSOCl2teQ FIcoos
MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 9.-Harry
Bachrach, president Of the National
Association Of Railroad and Utilities
Commissioners, declared yesterday
that Federal agencies were using
"weasel-worded laws" and distorted
facts" to increase their power and
break down confidence in State
commissions.
Mr.. Bachrach Is here with other
members of the New Jersey Board
Of Public Utility Commissioners for
the associations convention.
I'm the zeal of these new Federal
commissions to expand their pow
ers, he said. "they employ the new
technique in drafting vague and
weasel-worded laws which are sub
ject to their own Interpretation, and
under a barrage of propaganda en-
ploying distorted facts, they have
sought to tear down the confidence
of the people in their own State
commissions.
II think the citizens of the States
ought to be allowed to determine for
themselves the extent and scope OF
their regulation"

Employees Restrained
By Laundry Here,
Appeals Court Holds
Arcude-Sunshine Loses
Fight on Charges Of
Unfair Practices

The United States Court Of Ap-
peak, in deciding today that the
National Labor Relations Board. and
not the court, must pass on credi-
bility of witnesses and weigh con-
fiicting testimony, held that the
Arcade-Sunshine Co., Inc, which
operates a laundry and cleaning
plant here, restrained Its employees
In the exercise Of their right to
self Reorganization and was engaged
in unfair labor practices.
In keeping with q recent Supreme
Court decision. the court struck from
the boards order the provision that
the laundry reimburse Government
agencies for work relief payments
made to a discharged employe, but
held that in all other respects the
order Is valid and must be enforced.
The court pointed out In an
opinion written by Associate Justice
Henry w. Edgerton that the boards
authority is valid to require that
notices be posted that the company
will refrain from interfering with
the right of workers to organize
and refrain from discourasing union
membership. The laundry has posted
such notices. the opinion said. The
court held that the boards findings
of fact were supported by substan-
tial evidence, although much Of 1t
was contradicted.
The Labor Board petitioned the
court for enforcement OF its order
against the company, but the laun-
dry contended that the findings are
unsupported and that the order ex-
ceeded the boards authority. Hear
ing the case with Associate Justice
Edgerton were Chief Justice D.
Lawrence Groner and Associate
Justice Fred M. Vinson. Represent
ing the board were Attorneys Robert
B. Watts and Samuel EdeS.

 tempted Attack
(By Associated Press)

Nazi raiders, opening the third week of mass attacks on the British Isles, especially on the London area, swarmed across the English Channel early this forenoon in the mist and rain but their coming was heard and the raiders had little success as the anti-aircraft guns opened fire and the planes returned to the Kentish coast. Ground guns turned other sections of the invaders back.
 London had only one air raid alarm this morning.
 Supply Ships Smashed
 The British Air Ministry an- nounced that British bombers smashed two Nazi supply ships in night long raids on the French and Belgian coast channel ports and also successfully attacked Dorts- mund and Ems Canal, inside Ger many, and also heavily bombed many distribution centers in the Reichland and Belgium.
 Hugh Dalton, Minister of Econom- ic Warfare in speech this after noon in London declared that RAF bombers visited and shelled ninety percent of Germany's synthetic oil plants and 30 percent of her regular oil refinerfes.v
 These targets have been heavily hit. Further, said Dalton, Even though production still continues it is at reduced rate
 German Report
 The German High Command re- ports that severe damage to war essential objectives, especially the center of London and west of the big bend in the Thames River, has been done during the past A hours.
 The report declares that the big Royal Albert docks have been fre- uuently hit and new fires have been added to the smouldering blazes.
 The High Command also claims that three submarines recently sank 78OOO tons of shipping in the Eng fish Channel.
 The Berlin newspapers continue thunderous abuse of Great Britain for attacking "defenseless German localities" The Boersen Zeitung, quoting from the old testament, says we learn that more than once, on command of God, it is necessary to eradicate the whole generation and may it not be necessary now to bring about cleansing of the peo- pleS?"

WASHINGTON. = The President and mop -browed John L. Lewis have patched up their differences. The CIO chief will make state ment, probably today when he ad- dresses the convention of the Unit ed Federal Workers in Washington, endorsing Roosevelt and urging la bor to support him at the polls.
 The peace-Or truce-waS reached at a recent secret White House conference, which required a month of maneuvering by mutual friends to arrange Lewis was willing, in fact very eager to be invited to call, but Roosevelt definitely was not
 He knew he had the top CIO chiefs and practically every C1O union behind him, so he saw no reason to go out of his way to honey up Lewis. He told the self-appointed intermediates that Lewis could get a White House appointment any time he wanted it, but he would have to do the asking.
 But that was exactly what Lewls did not want to do. In the past, when leaving a White House con- ference, he has never failed to stress on newsmen that he was invited to call. So he firmly insisted on this face-saver. Roosevelt was equally firm in refusing to grant it.
 Kindly, astute Bishop Shell of Chicago, intimate aide of the late Cardinal Mundelein and a warm friend of both men, finally proposed a compromise: Roosevelt would ex- tend the invitation, but Lewis would come informally to the residence part of the White House, not to the executive offices. Thus the meeting would not be covered by newsmen. This was acceptable and General Pa" Watson, White House secretary, telephone Lewis to call on the President at 6 pm. The talk took place in the Oval Room, the Presidents study. on the second floor of the White House.

MOSCOW, Sept. 2l-Soviet Naval authorities reveal that the Russian Pacific fleet is engaged in war games in the Pacific, presumably some where off the coast of Siberia.
 The naval maneuvers are being carried out simultaneously with land maneuvers of the Soviet Army near the Siberian coast
 The naval war games include sham battles, night mine laying prac- tice and battery practice against supposed enemy squadrons advanc- ing on the main western Soviet naval base.
 The Red Fleet war games are be- lieved to be far different from the Pacific maneuvers of the American fleet near the Hawaiian Islands.
 Some naval observers and military experts regarded as significant the short lapse of time between the pub- lication of accusations aimed at Am erica in the official Soviet fleet publication and the start of the war games. The official naval publica- tion of the Red Fleet has accused the United States of spreading the Monroe Doctrine to the whole world.
 The United States, Red Fleet as- serted, is planning to occupy the A1orac Madeira Canary and Cape Verde Islands, Portuguese and Span ish bases off the West Coast of North Africa.
