into sharper prospective by the re-
call from Paris, at French request,
of the Soviet Ambassador, and the
British detention of two Russian
ships in the Far East
Russia also was believed to occupy
an important place in the allied
discussions in the light of the Finn
ish war settlement of March IL and
the reported efforts of Germany to
draw Russia and Italy closer.
It was reported that Lord Halifax
discussed at some length yesterday
with Russian Ambassador Ivan
Maisky the degree of neutrality to
be accorded Russia by the allies.
British detention of the Russian
ships Selenga and Vladimir Maya
kovsky for contraband examination
also was said to have been discussed,
but Foreign Office sources denied
that Maisky had protested the Brit
ish action.
Stopping of Russia's 3,972-ton
Vladimir Mayakovsky, en- route from
Mexico and California with metals
for Vladivostok, was reported yes
terday. The 2,492-ton Selenga,
carrying Chinese tungsten ore, was
taken into Hong Kong January 13
and presumably is still there.
The British press described navy
interception of the Russian ships as
merely part OF the general tight
ening OF the blockade against Ger
many by shutting the Eastern "back
door," through which it was believed
supplies from the Americas have
been f1ltering via Russia.

WeIIes Didn't See
Schocht Aboard Ship

NEW YORK, March % IT,
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles, returning on the liner Conte
Di Savoia today, said he had seen
no sign Of DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
German finance expert in search for
whom the British held up the ship
13 hours at Gibraltar.
Mr.. Welles said he was slightly
under the weather from influenza,
which he has had for six weeks, and
paid little attention to the search.
Mr.. Welles said that in Berlin he
had lunched with DR.. Schacht, who
was removed as head of the Reichs-
bank in 1899, and that IF DR..
Schacht was on the ship I didn't see
him"
ct was learned that DR..
Schacht was at his Berlin home
at the time the Conte Di Savoia
sailed. Italian Line officials said
a Swiss newspaper reported DR..
Schacht was on board the Conte
Di Savoia)
A reporter jokingly suggested that
DR.. Schacht might have been in Mr..
Welles' trunk.
Like Mr.. Morgan's midget, per-
haps," smiled Mr.. Welles.

all. the information he had gathered
on the plans of Germany, Great
Britain, France and Italy.
No high officials were willing to
predict that the White House would
make any move toward peace within
the next few months.
They were unanimous, however,
in saying that Undersecretary
Welles' trip had been extremely val
liable in exactly the field for which
the President designed it-gather-
ing facts.
All evidence received here indi-
Gates that the foreign leaders took
advantage of Mr.. Welles' visit to un-
burden themselves of their hopes,
desires, prospects and also charges
against their enemies.
One high official here said that
Mr.. Welles' trip had been Of great
value in improving relations with
Italy, in clarifying the views Of for
eign chieftains, in putting forth
the Undersecretary as a future con-
tact man, in making him probably
the best-informed statesman on
present-day Europe, and in putting
American ideas before the other
governments.
Observers adduced two facts as
a framework within which to evalu-
ate the effects Of Mr.. Welles' jour-
ney. The first was his categorical
statement in Rome that he had not
received any plan or project for
peace from any European govern
ment and had not presented any.
1t is regarded as inconceivable,
however, that his long conversations
with European statesmen did not
give him a good idea of their
thoughts on peace. On the basis of
Mr.. Welles' notes, the President. Mr..
Hull and Mr.. Welles could draw up
a peace plan If they saw fit. But
would they? Here enters the sec.
ond fact ).
At crucial moment in Mr..
Welles' trip. when he had reached
AeOAlC 4OA VIC oCSOllu VllIlc dIlu cu-
rope was full Of rumors of peace
offensive" President Roosevelt told
the world what sort of peace the
United States sought. In q radio
address March Is he said:
To-day we seek moral basis for
peace. 1t cannot be a real peace
if it fails to recognize brotherhood.
1t cannot be a lasting peace If the
fruit Of 1t is oppression, or starva-
ton or cruelty, or human life
dominated by armed camps. It
cannot be sound peace if small
nations must live in fear Of power
full neighbors.
TT cannot be a moral peace if
freedom from invasion is sold for
tribute. It cannot be an intelligent
peace If it denies free passage to
that knowledge of those ideals
which permit men to find common

GET Hollywood Call
For Movie Tests
Boyd Sisters, Daughters
Of Ponomu Envoy, Sing,
Dance and PIoy Guitor

The Boyd sisters, who sing, dance
and play the guitar. are a triple
threat to Hollywood.
Eighteen years old, dark, slim
and comely, the daughters of Am.
bassador and Mrs. George Edward
Boyd Of Panama work as q team.
Several months ago the triplets,
vacationing on the West Coast with
their parents, began to knock on
the doors Of movie studios. They
called on Ginger Rogers, Irene
Dunn and others for advice. A
studio scout gave them a tryout.
Yesterday the sisters got a long
awaited letter from Hollywood, q
suggestion that they return immedi-
ately for further screen tests.
The grey eyes of Edith, younger
by some Is minutes than Elena and
Mildred, sparkled when she talked
about it.
"The letter sounds good-grand," "
she said, because Dad told that
agent that he could not have us
running out to the West Coast un-
less there was something definite" "
Both her father, Edith said, and
her American mother, the former
Elizabeth Boiling of Abingdon, Va,
favor a stage career for the trio.
The triplets, however, are unani-
nous about screen career. They
also like to dress alike and go about
together. They go in for swimming
tennis and basket ball.
The next thing in their lives, said
Edith, lis to work on dad so he'll
let us 60 to Hollywood"
Dad, 1t would seem, doesn't stand
a chance.

Reich Watches Allies
Attitude on Scandinavia

BERLIN, March % (R.-The allies
attitude toward the neutrality of
Norway and Denmark, whose ter
ritorial waters provide Germany a
sea lane from the north, is being
watched with "the most profound
attention" authorized German
sources declared today.
They said the Reich was reckoning
with the possibility that the West
ern powers might assume the right
to police territorial waters" of the
Northern nations, in view of state
ment issued in Paris last night.
Informed quarters left no doubt
such a step would be met by Ger
man counter measures.
The semi-official French news
agency, Havas, in a statement out
lining the allied attitude toward
neutrals, made sharp distinction
between active and passive neutral
nations.
It said recent activity of British
warships off Jutland was due to 1.-The
passive attitude" of certain neutral
governments" permitting Germany
to carry on regular war traffic"
The allies intend to police doubt
full neutral waters, the statement
declared.

said defiantly in q slight accent,

Mr.. Dies settled back in his chair

Powers said:
"Mr. Dies has made 1t clear he
intends to put us on q blacklist. I
will be no party to putting mem

Seized Saturday.
Dolsen was seized by commit
tee agents at Pittsburgh last Satur-
day, when q membership card in
scribed with the name Franklin D.
Roosevelt was taken in his room.
Appearing before the committee
here, he said he knew President
Roosevelt was not member of the
party, but declined to answer various
questions.
Representative Eberharter, Demo-
crate, of Pennsylvania protested on
the House floor yesterday that the
committee spent money to bring Mr..
Dolsen here by airplane when it
could have obtained all the informa.
tion he supplied by mail.
The committee also planned to
hear another Pittsburgher this week.
Representative Dunn, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania said he was informed
by the committee that a hearing
would be given to Richard Lawry,
suspended census supervisor. Mr..
LaWry was suspended pending an
investigation to determine whether
he is Communist.

The Under Secretary said he had
no plans to 60 back to Europe. He
was asked to comment on a report
in The Hague, the Netherlands, that
he was disappointed in his trip.
IT was not within 200 miles Of
The Hague" he said. How could
they get that?"
Il had every opportunity given to
me to get the information for which
was sent" he said.
Among the other few direct quotes
he permitted was this:
Il had the privilege of meeting
Reynaud."
Reynaud is the new French Prime
Minister.
Mr.. Welles stood on a raised plat
form in the cardroom of the Conte
di Savoia during the mass interview
He was calm, pleasant and expressed
his apologies for not being able to
give more information. He wore q
dark blue suit, a white shirt with
buttoned-down collar and black
tie. He kept putting on cigarettes
throughout the talk. Some mem.
bers of his party stood outside the
circle of reporters, but Mr.. Welles
did all the talking.
"No Significance"
Mr.. Welles had been abroad since
February II.
At one point he asked: What are
you expecting, gentlemen, a set
speech?"
Other members Of the party were
Mrs. Welles, Thora Ronalds, Mrs.
Welles' niece; Pierrepont Moffat,
chief of the Division of European
Affairs for the State Department,
and Hartley johnson of the Consular
Service, Mr.. Welles' secretary.
The Undersecretary was met down
the bay by agents of the local Of
flee Of the State Department, Harry
M. Burning, collector of the port
and Rudolph Reimer, commissioner
of immigration.
He declined to be taken off the
liner at quarantine by Coast Guard
cutter. He turned in his passport
to immigration officials, in accord
ance with the ruling that all Ameri-
cans returning from abroad must
su render their passports. When
he returned recently from the Pam
anna Conference he declined to give
up his passport.
This passport will be turned in
with the greatest of pleasure" Mr..
Welles said, and then added quickly,
before any Interpretation could be
put on the statement, there is no
significance in that remark"
The Undersecretary's complete
itinerary in Europe was: Italy, for
the Mussolini talk; Germany, via
Switzerland; France, again through
Switzerland; England, and then
Italy again, where he saw Pope Plus
XII and talked again with Musso-
Ini, this time shortly before the
Italian Premier met with Chancellor
Hitler at Brenner Pass.

Supreme Court Nears
Argumentin Apex
Antitrust Case
Decision May Indicate
Extent to Which Labor
Is Subject to Act

Early determination of the extent
70 which labor unions may be SUBJ
ject to the Sherman Anti-Tru Act
was in prospect today as the Supreme
Court neared argument in the Apex
Hosiery case, in which the Phila-
delphia company is seeking $711 900
from G. I. o. union for damages
growing out of a strike.
Apex got the judgment against
the American Federation of Full
Fashioned Hosiery Workers in Dis
trict Court under the triple-penalty
provisions Of the Sherman Act, but
the union won on appeal to the
Third Circuit Court of Appeals,
which said that no intent to restrain
trade had been proved. The Supreme
Court is expected to hear the COM
panys appeal before the week is
out. Ordinarily, that would mean a
decision in about a month.
Additional interest is lent to the
litigation because of the current
effort of the Justice Department to
prosecute A. F. Of L. building trades
unions under the criminal provisions
Of the Sherman Act for alleged
restraints in the building industry.
One of those cases here already has
brought ruling by District Court
Justice Peyton Gordon that the
Transfers Union can be prosecuted
for allegedly causing building project
tie-ups.
In a brief filed in the Apex case
as friend of the court" the c. I. o.
said yesterday that lower courts
had ruled that unions may not
undertake to enforce pressures
against a non-union employer for
the purpose of making such en-
pToyer meet the prevailing incus-
trial Standards" and that "applica-
ton of this doctrine under our pres
ent economic conditions would re-
vive the antitrust laws as the most
serious threat to the development
and functioning of labor organiza-
tions." Labor claims exemption from
the Sherman Act under the provi-
Eons of the Clayton Act.
The Apex company said in its
brief that "if now laoor seeks i'm
munity from the Sherman Act even
when 1t resorts to violence and
sabotage to accomplish its pur-
poses. its appeal should be ad-
dressed to Congress and not to
this court"
The Court of Appeals said that
Apex had its redress IN State
courts.

There seems little doubt that

u. S. Employees
Lose Leave if
Called by Army

Federal employees lose accrued an
nual leave when they are called into
active Army service as members OF
the Offcers' Reserve Corps, under an
opinion today by Acting Controller
General Richard N. Elliott, who said
that the dual compensation statute
would not permit an employee to be
on leave-with:pay status from a
civilian post, once he was drawing
Army pay.
The dual compensation law bars
payment of more than one salary to
any individual when the combined
rate of the payments aggregates
more than $1,000 per annum.
The question was raised by the
commissioner of the United States
section of the United States-Mexico
Boundary Commission. who pre-
sented a case in behalf of one en-
ploye, but said several others likewise
would be affected The ruling I'M
doubtedly will be felt throughout the
Government.
In this instance, the Boundary
Commission employee was called to
duty August 5, and the commission
proposed to keep him on leave
-with-pay status until September 10
when his accrued leave expired be-
fore accepting his resignation. The
controller general said, however, that
the civilian and Army pay rate was
in excess Of $4,000 and that there
fore the civilian connection must
be seT.red as Of August S.

NEW YORK, Sept. -5.-The Brook
lyn Eagle says four heavily armed
Coast Guard vessels manned by 500
men have established a protective
patrol over Greenland's cryolite
mines, the worlds only commercial
source of the important mineral used
in refining aluminium.
Coincident with the disclosure,
the State Department in Washing

members OF the cutter Comanche,
which returned from the Greenland
patrol yesterday, to talk about their

The Eagle says the cutters Co.

Northland and Duane have been
based at Ivigtut, southwest Of
Greenland, since June l to protect
the valuable mines, which produce
metal used in extracting aluminium
from bauxite ore, making it valuable
to the airplane industry.
The Eagle story goes on to say:
Eske Brun, Governor of Green

that he had been in New York since

Revealed by Navy
3,64S Now Ordered;
1900 PropeIIers Are
Included ia Deal
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Navy disclosed new agree
ments with aircraft manufacturers
today for 2,6l7 additional fighting
and scouting planes and $1,000 air
plane propellors. Formal contracts
eventually will replace the agree
ments.
The 2,617 planes covered brought
to total of 3.648 the number of
combat craft ordered under Navy
sponsorship. Some will be>used by
the Army. Secretary of Navy Knox
announced last week that formal
contracts had been signed for 1,031
warplanes as of August Is.
The agreements were in the same
category as that announced last
week with United Aircraft Corp.
for the delivery of 1900 Pratt &
Whitney engines for the Army and
Navy during the 1941 and 1912 fiscal
years at total cost of $160, O00, 900.
Today's statement, published in
the Congressional Record at the re-
quest OF Chairman Vinson of the
House Naval Committee, disclosed
the Navy also had arranged with
United for the $1,000 propellers.
The Army also reached an agree
ment last week for the manufacture
of 20 1000 Wright engines and $4,000
CurtisS propellors to be manufac-
tured for the Army and Navy in the
1912 fiscal period.
Today's statement-which carried
no delivery dateS-showed that the
Navy had made agreements pre-
paratory for these planes:
Vought- Sikorsky division of United
Aircraft Corp, ZOOS observation
scout airplanes.
Brewster Aeronautical Corp, Ali
scout-bomber airplanes and 108
fighting planes.
Grammar Aircraft Engineering
Co., 254 fighting planes and 286
torpedo bomber planes.
Douglas Aircraft Corp, 252 scout
bomber planes. (Some 70-odd of
these will be used by the Army.)
Curtiss Aeroplane division of Cur
tiss-Wright Corp, 300 scout-ob-
servation planes.
In addition, the statement said,
the Army had reached agreements
with Grammar for IA utility
planes; with Edo Aircraft Corp. for
1852 float-type landing gears and
with Cwtiss for $50 advanced
training planes.
