and she will return to the seas to
flll the urgent demand for more

wholesale destruction of 500 neutral

Considered obsolete. she was laid
up at San Francisco two years ago
after l6 exciting years OF carrying
passengers and Oriental cargoes to
the Pacific Coast.
Recently her owners asked per-
mission of the Maritime Commission
to sell her to Berge y Compania of
Spain. As the commission already
has granted permission for the sale
of more than 158 American vessels, it
appears likely the Lincoln will ex.
change her American flag for the

NEW YORK, April 1.-Two ma
tional leaders OF the Congress of
Industrial Organiza tions went into
conference with Mayor LA Guardia
today in an apparent effort to ef-
feet some kind OF settlement in
the threatened strike of 27,0O0
members OF the Transport Workers
Union &C. I. o..
The strike would affect about one
million daily riders on the 597 miles
of tracks OF the Interborough Rapid
Transit and the Brooklyn -Manhat-
tan Transit systems.
Allan S. Haywood. national direc-
tor of the c. I. O., who called on
the Mayor at the office Of Budget
Director Kenneth Dayton, said the
Mayor had requested him and Lee
Pressman. c. l. o. general counsel,
to meet with them.
At Fairmont, w. Va, John L.
Lewis, head of the C. I. O., declined
comment on the threatened strike,
but 1t was understood he was keep
ing In touch with the situation.
Precisely what was going on be-
hind the scenes could not be learned
since the Mayor, members OF the
Board OF Transportation and lead
ere OF the union were silent.
Union leaders threatened to call a
strike unless the Transportation
Board agreed to assume In their en-.
tirety. when the city takes over the
lines next month. the contracts
which the union now has with the
two lines.
Mayor La Guardia predicted the
impasse resulting from impending
city control of all subways. under
a unif1cation plan, would be "ironed
out"
The third line-the Independent
System-is city-owned and not
threatened by a strike.
II don't see any necessity for a
strike" the Mayor said. Il think
the matter may all be properly ad-
justed."
Late last night Michael j. Quill,
international president of the
Transport Workers issued a state
ment after an all-day conference
with union leaders, saying mo direct
strike action" was contemplated for
"at least the next IL hours"

taken to avoid trouble. Special de-
tails were assigned to the power

fering from intestinal influenza, 1t

nouncement of his change in plans
was made by Presidential Secretary

want the President to change eli
mates. atmosphere and food at this
time. Mr.. Early explained. He
added that the Presidents tempera-
ture has been normal for several
days.
The President has promised to
appear at the spring dinner of the

pointed out.
He also desires to keep In close
touch with the reciprocal trade ex-
tension bill pending before the Sen
ate. Mr.. Early added.
Mr.. Roosevelt probably will go to
his estate at Hyde Park, N. Y, this
week end, returning Monday and
remaining at the White House until
about April 18.

Msgr. Corrigon to Be Made
7ituIor Bishop Tomorrow
c. u. Rector's See
To Be Bi|to, One Of
Oldest in Africu

Ceremonies tomorrow at Catho-
lie University will mark the con-
secration Of Most Rey. Joseph NJ.
Corrigan, rector Of the university,
as titular bishop of long -aban-
doned see in Tunisia In Northern
Africa.
Bilta-his see--Was among the
Oldest bishoprics in Africa and con-
tinued as an episcopal see until the
last years OF Roman occupation.
The first bishop OF record there
was Caecilius. who was one OF the
bishops assembled in Carthage in
256 In a council under the presi-
dency of Saint Cyprian.
In 646. Theodorus, bishop of Bilta,
at another council OF bishops in
Carthage, was one OF those who
signed letter addressed 10 the
Patriarch Paul In Constantinople.
Today there may be found the
remains OF Roman citadel Of the
Byzantine period and the founda-
tions OF several important buildings
IN what was once a city OF consid-
cradle size.
Elevation of the popular rector to
the episcopacy Is unique In the his
tory OF the university, although his
five predecessors have been similarly
treated. since he is the first to be
elevated during his first term. He
was appointed rector March q,
1885, and 1t was announced here
February 6 that he had been made
bishop.
Four Major Events.
His position is also described as
unusual in that most titular bishops
are named as auxiliaries to assist
diocesan bishops. whereas Bishop
Corrigan is at the head of the
Pontiflcal university in the United
States for whose support and MAIN
tenance the American bishops are
responsible. He himself is directly
responsible to them through Arch
bishop Michael J. Curley of Balti-
more and Washington, the chancel-
lor of the university.
Four major events have taken
place during his rectorship. 1t re-
ceived its permanent constitution
from the Sacred Congregation of
Seminaries and Universities. The
then Monsignor Corrigan went to
Rome in December. 1885, and re-
mained there until the statutes were
approved on March 7, 1897.
A second was the celebration of
the golden jubilee ending last fall
A third was completion OF the
Priests-Professors Residence, the
movement for which was originated
IA years ago in the administration

Medical Antitrust
Case 10 Be Taken
To Supreme Court
Appeal Planned From
Ruling Thot Doctors
Should Stond TrioI

Counsel for the defendants in the
medical antitrust case today were
perfecting plans to appeal to the
Supreme Court.
Finishing touches are being given
to the text of a petition for a writ
Of certiorari. asking the high tri-
bunal to review the March 4 deci-
sion of the Court of Appeals here
which held the defendant doctors
should stand trial for an indict-
ment charging them with violation
Of the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The Court Of Appeals has just ex-
tended the time within which the
defense may appeal, by granting the
second request of the defense for q
stay In the mandate remanding the
case back for trial. The second ex-
tension of time stays the mandate
from April to April o. Defense
counsel believes its petition may be
ready for filing in the Supreme
Court by April %, but under the
law, defense claims, the defendants
should have until early in June to
file such petition. The Govern
ment recently charged defense with
unduly delaying the case.
These disclosures followed a state
ment made last night by DR.. Morris
Fishbeln, editor Of the American
Medical Association Journal, in
Rochester, N. Y, where, according
to the Associated Press, he predicted
the appeal would be filed within q
few days.
The defendants which include the
A. M. A., District Medical Society
Washington Academy of Surgery
the Harris County (TexD Medical
Society and 81 individual doctors
were indicted in December, 1888
for alleged restraint OF trade against
Group Health Association, Inc. a
medical cooperative of Govern
ment workers here. District Court
on July 26, held that the practice
OF medicine was not trade, and
therefore the indictment was invalid
This opinion was reversed, how
ever, by the Court of Appeals
early last month in a decision which
remanded the case back to District
Court for trial.
