Americans Over 40
Meet 10 Consider
Role in War Time
Fifth Column Detection
Pointed Out as Valuable
To u. S. Defense

DR.. William Downs, president Of
the Americans Over Forty, Inc,
presided over a patriotic meeting In
Epiphany Parish Hall, 1917 G street
NV, last night. at which Gen. Amos
A. Fries, u S. A. retired, was prin-
cipal speaker.
Col. Walter w. Burns, command
ing officer of the 260th Anti-Aircraft
Artillery of the District of Columbia
National Guard, also spoke.
Contending that wars are fought
in greater part by younger groups,
partly because Of physical fitness
and partly because of enthusiasm,
the speakers. including DR.. Downs,
endeavored to learn just what may
be done by the older generation to
help America in an hour Of need
1t was pointed out that the upper
age group can give great support
to the youth fighting the Nations
battles and that this support may
be even more important than 'front.'
line action.
Can Watch Fifth Column.
One of the most important tasks
now to be performed by the elder
generations, the speakers agreed, is
the suppression of subversive groups
within the United States-particu-
larly in Washington. 1t was con-
tended that the young people can
not do as well in this field because
they have a tendency to become
'jittery"
Pleas for support of the recruiting
campaign now being waged by the
260th Anti-Aircraft Artillery of the
local National Guard were made by
Gen. Fries and DR.. Downs-and it
was agreed by an enthusiastic audi
| ence that everything within the
power OF Washingtonians should be
done to get this regiment up to its
proper strength.
Gen. Fries, in recounting his
World War experience, overseas
with the A. E. F.. in 1917-18, paid
high tribute to the National Guard
as citizen soldiery.
Second Line of Defense.
I'VE military men call the Ma
tional Guard the civilian component
OF our Regular Army" Gen. Fries
said. THE National Guard is really
our second line of defense. After
intensive training the National
Guardsmen can become good SOL
d'ers. They did it in the World
War. They can do it again"
In warning the people of Wash
ington against subversive elements
known to be in the city, Col. Burns
advised his hearers to keep your
eyes and ears open, and your mouth
closed. And if you hear anything
that smacks of disloyalty, note the
time and place and write the words
on paper and send them to the
/ F. B. l."

Wagner Act Changes.
Voted in House, Due
To Die in Senate
Smith Sees Approval
As Showing Nations
Demand for Revision
BY the Associated Press.

Despite 2-to-1 House approval,
sweeping Wagner Act amendments
built around creation of a new Ma
tional Labor Relations Board were
said by informed Senators today to
be headed directly for a Senate
Committee pigeon-hole.
Appealing for Senate action in
the face Of an adjournment drive,
Chairman Smith of the House La
Dor Board Investigating Committee
which drafted the original revisions,
declared the House vote yesterday
demonstrated the country's demand
for immediate amendments "as an
essential part of the defense pro-
gram"
Don't fool yourself" said Rep
resentative Hook, Democrat, Of
Michigan, as House debate ended,
this bill will never be law"
Nevertheless, 116 Democrats and
142 Republicans voted for the Smith
amendments; Republicans, 113
Democrats and three others against.
Mrs. Norton AssaiIs Green.
Chairman Norton of the House
Labor Committee, preferring less
drastic amendments, bitterly as
sailed President William Green of
the American Federation of Labor
for indorsing the Smith proposals,
with revisions which were made,
after having said formerly that they
would destroy the act.
Mrs. Norton said that until Thurs
day her committees bill had the
A. F. L. support.
Strange things happen overnight,
and we have strange bedfellows in
Congress today" she said. What
combination or trade was responsible
for the change of heart of Mr.. Green
is beyond me-"
Mr.. Green several months ago said
the Smith amendments would have
the effect of destroying the act.
Minority's Efforts Futile.
A House minority tried in vain to
confine the amendments to the
series of four approved by the Labor
Committee and built around the ad-
dition OF two new members to the
three-man board.
But this group was beaten, once
on teller vote of l78 to III and on
roll call votes of 246 to 1877 and
258 to 129.
The principal Smith amendments
would:
l. Abolish the present Labor
Board and create a new three-man
agency, but permit the President to
re-appoint the present members
Chairman ]. Warren Madden, Ed
win S. Smith and William Leiserson.
2. Separate the agency's present
judicial and prosecution functions.
leaving the former with the board
and providing an administrator for
all other activities.
3. Permit an employer to discuss
labor conditions with his workers,
providing such conversations were
not accompanied by threats of
coercion or discrimination.
Ban on Reinstatement.
4. Forbid the Labor Board to order
reinstatement of any worker who
willfully engaged in violence or un-
lawful destruction or seizure of
property.
5. Require the board to obtain the
affirmative approval of the workers
before ordering craft union to join
an industrial union for collective
bargaining purposes.
6. Limit to one year both the pc
riod for which the board could or
der back pay and the period in
which charges of violation of the
act might be filed.
7. Abolish the boards economic
division headed by David J. Saposs.
8. Allow employers to refuse to
bargain with alien labor represent

Speaking informally, he declared
that the men who guide the de-

are ready to do their full share in
meeting the present challenge to

sacrifice, he said.
In view of what is going on in

This type of credit relates to small

banks have recently established
Mr. French stressed the Importance
of the kind of credit the banks are
to grant. He reviewed the reasons
why people borrow money and said
the banks should not lend money to
those who would become spend

To justify the small loan depart

rowers with the greatest care. Every

If such departments are estab.

basis, while the demand for money
is so much smaller than the sup.

are based on sound credit and serv.
