n. |. R. B. Orders Rehirinq
OF ) {. |. 0. Radio Men
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Three Boston fishing companies
entangled in labor union rivalries
were ordered by the National Labor
Relations Board yesterday to rehire
three c. I. o. radio operators found
to have been discharged after A. F.
L. trawler crews refused to sail with
them.
William NJ. Leiserson, member of
the three-man board, dissented from
the decision on the ground that the
A. r. L. fishermen were within their
legal rights" in refusing to work
with radiomen belonging to C. I. OF
American Communications Associa-
ton.
The case was based on complaints
that the Cape Cod Trawling Corp.
the Massachusetts Trawling Co. and
the Booth Fisheries DISCHARGED J.
Irving Mcintyre. Jacob Fishbein and
Eliot V. Matthews under pressure
OF A. F. L. trawler crews.
The board majority, Chairman J.
Warren Madden and Edwin s.
Smith. ruled that, by discharging
the men. the companies discouraged
membership in the C. I. o. union
and encouraged membership in the
A. F. L. organization in violation of
the Wagner Act.

New Theorems Presented
To Mathematical Society

New mathematical theorems de-
veloped by Chinese scholar amid
the distractions of war at the ma
tional university in Yunnan and
sent to the United States by
roundabout way through French
Indo China were presented before
the annual meeting of the American
Mathematical Society at George
Washington University yesterday.
These theorems, the work of DR..
L. K. Hua, were read to the mathe-
maticians by Prof. Hermann Weyl,
famous German authority on rela-
tivity, who is now at Princeton.
One of DR.. Hua's new theorems
calculates the number OF ways of
dividing a whole number into un-
equal parts. For example, the num-
ber five can be divided In two ways
four plus one or three plus two. For
larger numbers many more types of
subdivisions are possible. DR.. Hua
obtained a general formula for the
number of ways this can be done
with any number.
New theories of integral equations
were described by DR.. A. G. Do
minguez, Argentine mathematician.
A total of SO papers was scheduled
to be presented.

Methodist Board
Fears Government
Liquor Monopoly
Conference Coils on All
Members to Proy
For End Of War
BY the Associated Press.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., April q.
The Board Of Temperance of the
Methodist Church advised the Gen.
eral Conference today it feared the
growing evils of the present liquor
system" would lead to Government
manufacture and distribution of al
coholic beverages.
Can you think of a system more
sure to corrupt a democratic gov
ernment than that?" the board
asked in report to the conference.
Government alcohol monopoly in
the United States would speedily
mean, not the control of liquor by
the Government, but control of gov
ernment by liquor.
"Monopolization by the Federal
Government would mean the largest
number of Government employees
would be those engaged in some
phase of the liquor business. Ma
turally, these employees would be en-
gagged in constant effort to put
the bottle to the lips of people in
order that Government jobs would
be preserved and increased - ."
Growing Use of Beer Reported.
The board reported the consump-
ton of beer and wine was growing
at IAN alarming rate" in the United
States, adding that "the suggestion
of the mountaineering character
OF beer and the 'harmlessness' Of
wine probably did more to under
mine national prohibition than any
other factor"
The conference yesterday called
on all its 7,856,000 members in the
United States to do without Sunday
dinner on June and pray for
speedy termination of war"
The delegates debated lengthily as
to where the newly created Meth
odist Churchs administrative boards
and commissions should be located.
They rejected, temporarily at least,
recommendations of the small Com
mission on Location appointed at
Kansas City year ago and turned
the entire matter over to the large
Committee On Temporal Economy
for reconsideration.
| Debate to Be Resumed.
Last night, however, the latter re-
ported that after studying the Lo-
cation Commissions proposals for
several hours it saw nothing wrong
with them. That meant the dele
gates today would have to resume
their debate where they left of.
The Commission on Location
wanted the Commission on World
Peace and the Board of Lay Activi-
ties to be in Chicago. But a group
led by Chester A. Smith of Peeks-
kill. N. Y, wanted these two located
in Washington lin the same building
with the Board Of Temperance"

New Foreign Policy
Is Slowly Evolving,
Father Walsh Says
Old Path to War Beinq
Opened, Georgetown
Educator Believes

The Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh,
S. j., vice president of Georgetown
University, declared last night Re
sponsible American authorities be-
lieve absolute neutrality is no longer
obligatory in the present conflict"
and predicted "the path to war" will
be opened to the United States
along the old pattern"
In his final lecture on American
diplomacy, Dr. Walsh reviewed re-
cent moves by the Administration
to indicate that the traditional neu-
trality policy of the United States
has been changed. A new foreign
policy has been slowly evolving since
the war began, he said, adding
what seems fairly certain is that
an organized drive will be loosed in
the near future against the john
son Act, which prohibits loans or
credits to England and France. 1t
will not come, however, until after
next November"
DR.. Walsh said President Roose-
welt and Secretary of State Hull
have made clear distinction between
peace loving countries and aggres-
sor powers. He pointed out that
while Mr.. Roosevelt has declared no
American Army will be sent to ELL
rope, certain quarters sympathetic
to the present conduct of American
diplomacy" claim that American
naval and air forces may be sent to
Europe if the allies seem on the
threshold of defeat.
Secretary Hull's warning to Japan
that this country would not counte-
nance any threat to seize the Dutch
East Indies in the event the Neither
lands is invaded was cited by DR..
Walsh as another step from previous
diplomatic policy. THE philosophy
underlying such a claim could, I am
convinced, lead us into a Pacific
war much faster and more surely
than anything that has yet hap
pened in Europe" he said.
The lecture series, at Memorial
Continental Hall, was under the
auspices of the School of Foreign
Service.

Radcliffe swung into Southern
Maryland today for flying CAM
paign trip through three counties,
leaving an audience on his native
Eastern Shore to digest an attack
upon Howard Bruceis record as q
main power" behind the State
Legislature. #.r
Senator Radcliffe declared his
opponents own statements indicate
1T would not augur happily for the
future Of Maryland If this sort OF
man is named to represent 1t in
Washington" He came here this
morning for the dedication of the
Gov. Ritchie memorial highway.
He was to attend a luncheon
given by the United Democratic
Women's Clubs of Southern Mary
land at Capitol Heights, in Prince
Georges County, and then enter
Calvert County to meet constituents
this afternoon and speak at Prince
Frederick and North Beach tonight.
The junior Maryland Senator, in
cidentally, was to rub elbows with
Mr.. Bruce at the highway dedica-
ton and luncheon, for his rival
also was to be a guest at those func-
tions.
Speaks at Easton.
Senator Radcliffe's attack upon
Mr.. Bruce's record as a legislative
adviser was made before a large
and enthusiastic crowd of support
ers in the National Guard armory
at Easton last night.
He said that while Mr.. Bruce rep
resents himself as backer of the
move to provide employment for
men over As years of age, the latter,
by his own admission, was unaware
the last State Assembly had before
it bills that would have aided this
group.
He said that since Mr.. Bruce
didn't know about those measures,
ut follows that the State income
tax law Is the only existing example
OF his legislative handiwork."
Hits Income Tax.
Il am sure" he stated, "the people
Of Maryland do not want q Senator
who. by his actions, has proved he
very probably would fail to know
about what was going on, or else
would sponsor bad legislation like
that income tax law"

The possibility of deal by which
Mr.. Bruce. should he be elected to
the Senate, would resign near the
close of his term in order that Gov
O'Conor might be appointed, thus
obtaining the campaign advantage
which accrues to the incumbent, was
raised by another speaker.
Philemon B. Coulter, former as.
sistant States attorney for Balti-
more city. explained that in the
November general election voter.
would pass upon an amendment
which would prohibit the Governor
from succeeding himself.
What Is to become of him II the
amendment carries?" he asked. "He
presumably does not want to be
Mayor Of Baltimore. there is nc
presidential election until 1912, no,
will there be a senatorial campaign
until Senator Tydings' term expires
in 1912.
But should our Senator elected
this November resign, our law en-
powers the Governor to issue an ap-
pointment to I'LL the office of the
Senator until the next election"
