group was in complete agreement
that plants engaged in defense work
must be kept open as a matter OF
public policy
The secret committee meeting CO.

President Roosevelt had summoned
Jackson. together with the secre-
taries OF war and navy and labor
Defense Commissioner Sidney Hill
man, for conference on labor diff
ficulties in defense factories. The
meeting was set for 2 pm.
Summers conferred late yesterday
with several committee members
and Chairman Howard w. Smith
OF the special committee investigat-
ing National Labor Relations board.
Among proposals tentatively ad-
vanced as a basis for discussion, it
was learned, were flat prohibition
against strikers in plants devoted to
defense production. compulsory ar
bitration of labor disputes in such
plants, and increased penalties for
sabotage
Rep. Jerry Voorhis. D., Calf,
made the demand for less talking
by the Dies committee and execu-
tive agencies about each other-a
result of the feud in which Com
mittee Chairman Martin Dies and
Attorney General Robert H. jack
son have engaged for several days.
The DieS-Jackson controversy was
precipitated in part. by the Vuftee
strike. Both the Dies committee and
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
have been watching labor develop
ments in Pacific coast aircraft
plants.
There was no indication that
President Roosevelt contemplated
an immediate answer to Dies tele-
gram renewing an urgent plea"
that the president coordinate" ac-
tivities of various law enforcement
agencies and compel cooperation
of executive departments with his
committee.
Dies sent the telegram after a
sharp exchange with Jackson who
criticized Dies white paper" on
Nazi activities, and accused Dies of
reflecting improperly on the work
Of the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton. Dies charged that Jackson had
not prosecuted Communists with
proper vigor, and criticized the de-
partmentS record
