New Mediation Board
Proposed By Wagner

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. -
Up - Senator Wagner ONY)
proposed today the creation of
a three member federal board
for voluntary mediation on en-
ploye- employer disputes over
wages, hours, working condi-
tiOns and other factions not
within the jurisdiction of the
National Labor Relations board.
Looked upon in some quar-
tiers as an administration eff
fort to meet part of the crit.
cism directed at New Deal
handling of labor problems, the
proposed bill appeared assured
of at least a measure of BIZ
partisan support.
Wagner explained in a state
ment that his bill "does not
amend or modify the National
Labor Relations act, nor do the
functions of the two measures
merge or conflict in any way"
He said he would introduce tho
legislation tomorrow.

OSLO, Feb. 18-CP-The fate of
the Germany prison slip Altmark,
her more than 800 prisoners lost to
a British boarding party from the
destroyer Cossack, tonight appeared
to depend on whether she was an
armed vessel.
Norway was expected to decide by
that criterion whether to intern the
Altmark as an armed vessel in war
service or allow her to go free an
unarmed commercial ship.
The British charge she was arm
ed with two pom-poms (multi-b bar
relied anti-aircraft guns) and four
machine guns. Germany declared
the Altmark was unarmed.
No Confirmation
So far, Norway has made no indie
pendent confirmation Of either oil

Mannerheim Front

MOSCOW, Feb. 19.-(Mondaye
N-The Russian army, claiming the
capture Of two towns on the Gulf
of Finland, today indicated it had
cut off the fort of Koivisto, western
anchor of Finland's Mannerheim
line, from the main section Of the
Finnish defenses on the Karelian
Isthmus.
(The loss of the fort at Koivisto
would be a severe blow to the
Firms. Its guns, arranged to fire
either out to the Gulf of Finland or
inland, have struck telling blows
upon the Red army during the heavy
fighting on the Isthmus.)

The Red army communique said
Russian troops yesterday occupied
tn etown of Johannes and the sta
ton of Maksalahti on the Maritime
railway, thus reaching the west
