Bequeathed Millions,

IS Key Workers Get
Bulk of Estute of
Paint Plant Owner
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FIeSS
AMBLER, Pa, Feb. 6.-Enriched
by the millions left by their paint
manufacturer boss, the key en-
ployes of j. Harvey Gravel plan
to carry on the traditions and busi-
ness policies he fostered.
The Is who were bequeathed the
bulk of Mr.. Gravell's $4,000, 900 es-
tate, disclosed through a spokes-
man that there would be no change
in the operation of the American
Chemical Paint Co. plant here.
Grateful for the final generous
gesture of the man who one Christ
mas gave his workers 100000 to
pay of their debts, the legatees said
they intended to establish per-
manent memorial for him.
Standing to benefit handsomely
even after estate and inheritance
taxes reduce the fortune, the en-
ployes, most of whom have large
families, indicated the windfall
would alter the course Of their lives.
I'm going to send my sons to
college" said Frank Scardino after
terms of Mr.. Gravell's will were an
nounced yesterday.
Grinning broadly and pointing to
the overalls he wears as plant fore
man, Mr.. Scardino added: You
see, now I'm darn we'll fixed"
MY wife and I always wanted
to travel" remarked another. 1.-THE
only trouble is to get the time Off"
Miss Clara Bordona, 80, Mr..
Gravell's secretary, received the
news quietly, and with praise for
q fine man."
Gas far as I'm concerned, would
rather have him back than all the
in the world" she said. II
intend to keep on working for the
company"
Mr.. Gravel, who died December
8, at the age of SO, wrote that it
was his purpose to place control and
ownership of the plant in the hands
of his business associates and en-
ployes.
The stock was placed in trust for
the Is employees for 10 years. After
that they will own it outright. 4
Believing that the wives made
his men good employees, Mr.. Gravel
once gave $500 to each of the
"home- makers"
American Chemical Paint Co. has
branches in Toronto, Canada; De-
troit and Newcastle, Del, but only
employees of the Amber plant were
named in the will.

The question Of possible cross

was discussed at the meeting OF the
Federation of Businessmen's Asso-
citation last night in the Continental
Hotel by D. j. Locke, stan engineer
OF the Capital Transit Co.
1.-THE time has not yet arrived for
such line," Mr.. Locke said. There
is no question but that the line
would operate at q loss" he con-
tinued, possibly in the neighbor-
. hood Of $4,000 q year. The only
way for you citizens to get this con-
venience is to prove to the Public
Utilities Commission the necessity of

order installation, provided some
agreement could be worked out with

Reconsideration Asked.
Members present were not con-.
vinced that the company would take
loss and insisted that a petition
for this line circulated a few years
ago receiving 10000 names be re-
considered. Mr.. Locke stated the
petition is on file. ~
A motion favoring the entrance
of the Master Plumbers Association,
known as a trade association, into
the federation was carried, while a
motion to allow entrance of the
United Food Stores Association was
opposed.
A special committee appointed by
the president to give definition Of
q trade association was composed of
M. G. Schwartz, chairman; Fred-
erick Levy, Alex j. Berlin, Berneard
Elman, John M. De Marco. James P.
Rogers and Miss Dorothy Kahl. The
committee submitted this definition
and was approved:
ANY association of individual
tradesmen, businessmen, manufac-
turers, or corporations, each of
whom owns or operates his or her
individual business establishment,
united for the protection and ad-
vancement of their common in

oushly Secuted

LONDON, March 7.-R- The
Royal Air force in a day of brisk
activity at home and abroad today
shot down a German air raider off
Scotland, announced the successful
scouting Of strategic German bases
and cities during the night and went
to the house Of commons for more
money.
How much money is to be spent
is a war secret-hidden behind a. 100
pound $4,000 token" appropriation
but Sir Kingsley Wood, the air min
lister, said it involved "the greatest
expenditure of the kind in British
history.
He said the Royal Air force had
carried out more than thousand
sorties into German territory by day
and night in the six months of con-
flict.
Sir Kingsley spoke in presenting
secret air force estimates which he
said involved "the greatest expendi-
ture" Of this kind in Great Brit.
aims history.
In surveying the air war to date
he said A. German aircraft had been
brought down around British coasts
without a single loss on our side''
and many more had been forced
down in neutral territory or upon
the sea.
In asking for funds for develop
ing the r. A. F., Sir Kingsley said
the air force was preparing for a
great expansion of strength which
we know will be required"
Where last year the total strength
Of the air force approached 100, 900
men, that is the strength today of
one command alone of a force which
is divided into coastal, fighter and
British expeditionary force COM
mands.
Prime Minister Chamberlain an
nounced army estimates would be
presented in the house next Tues
day.
The house, having disposed of the
Palestine problem at least tempo

Of restricting Jewish land purchases.
turned to hear Sir Kingsley recount
the feats Of his air force as an in
dependent branch Of the armed serv-
ices.
These include numerous scouting
flights " Germany, such as that
last night in which airmen reported
accommodating the .Wilhelmshaven
naval base.

along spending lines. 1t certainly
cannot be charged with profligate
spending, whatever it's other short

It can also be said with consider

VIEWPOINT ADOPTED q;
FROM WISCONSIN

Leiserson draws his philosophy
from the Wisconsin school of a gen.
Grafton ago-the school of the elder
La Toilette and the famous DR..
John r. Commons. That philosophy,
in brief, runs like this:
Complex modern life creates
problems which existing machinery
cannot handle; problems partly lie.
gal, partly administrative, partly
judicial. Courts can't handle them,
because they're only partly legal
problems; ordinary administrative
agencies can't handle them, because
they're only partly administrative
problems. The problems can't be
solved at all unless there is a new
agency combining all Of these func.
tons in one.
The Wilmington morning star., 1940-03-08

the fact is not generally realized
on the basic point at issue, Smith
and Madden are actually much clos.
er to the Smith committees posi-.
ton than is DR.. Leiserson.
BROAD FUNCTIONS
OF BOARD ARE HIT .,.. +.
Basic complaint against the board
throughout the Smith hearings has
been the charge that it is judge,
jury and prosecutor all in one. Con.
gresham Smith has hammered at
this point repeatedly, drawing out
much testimony intended to show
that a board with those three jobs
to fill is apt to go haywire here and
there.
Defense tactics, as shaped by
Madden and Smith and Board Coun'
sci Fahy, have been to show that
the situation really isn't as bad as
it looks; that the different func'
tions Of the board are kept in air
tight compartments, SO that the job
of prosecution is thoroughly insul.
ated from the job Of fact-finding.
There is where Leiserson most
sharply differs with his colleagues.
By his philosophy, the only way tc
answer the judge-jury-prosecutor
charge is to say: "Why, Of course
we're those three things in one
that's the only way in which a board
like this can work; the only way
in which a law like the Wagner
act a meet the problem it was
created OF meet"
