for their second stop on a BARN

Purpose of the tour, Mr.. Prentis
said, is Ito inform the American
people of the principles underlying
a free society and to spread under
standing and appreciation Of the
Importance of free enterprise IN the
American system"
More than 400 business leaders
from Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware heard Mr.. Prentis, at the
first stop here last night, score the
National Labor Relations Board and
the Wagner Act and call for changes
he said are necessary to prevent
Government by blackjack"

"The sorry record of the board,
he said, demands reasonable modi-
fication of the onerous Wagner Act
With that act came not peace but
a sword. Strife has been multiplied
manifold. The act sees evil in the
minutest details of an employers
relation with his employees, but it is
wilfully blind to coercion and worse
on the part of labor racketeers.
II need not recite here in detail
| the amendments which are obviously
necessary to convert pair of hand
| cuffs into the balanced scales OF
justice and to provide the safeguards
essential to prevent Government by

necessary were those recommended

sihle redefinition of the "area
of production" in which the
wage and hour provisions of the
Fair Labor Standards Act are not
applicable in certain processing OF
agricultural commodities, were an
nounced by Col Fleming. The first
will be held April "a, on the question
of the area of production for packing
(but not canning) of citrus fruits,
largely in California, Florida and
Texas. The second hearing, May /,
will be on the area OF production for
handling, packing and storing (but
not canning, of fresh fruits and
vegetables other than citrus fruits.
Five more industry committees
will be appointed under the present
plans of the Wage Hour Division: !:
Carpets and rugs, luggage and
leather, converted paper products,
jewelry, and portable lamps and
shades. How many more can be
appointed later depends on funds
available, Col. Fleming said.
A learning period of 800 hours or
approximately eight weeks at sub
minimum rate of Is cents per hour
was found to be necessary in order
to prevent curtailment of opportu-
mites for employment of telephone
operators in the independent branch
Of the telephone industry. This was
decided by DR.. Gustav Peck, assist
ant director of the hearings branch
Of the Wage-Hour Division.
Testifying at hearing on the
matter. Mrs. Mayme Workman Of
an Illinois independently telephone
association was quoted as saying:
Most girls have rigid jaws. stiff lips
and lazy tongues" She added that
the elimination of these character
istics is the first essential in the

BY NELSON M. SHEPARD.

Secretary of the Interior Ickes
was revealed today as truly rep
resentative product of the great
American melting pot. Genealogists
have given him a Finnish and
Swedish background to mix with
his ell-established strain of Scotch
and Pennsylvania Dutch ancestry.
Frankly, MIR. Ickes says he isn't
quite sure whether the recently dis
covered strain is actually Finnish
or Swedish and he doesn't care. He
is equally proud of each race. ITO
me they are both great peoples" !"
he explained.
The facts came out last night,
when he addressed a gathering in
Philadelphia at the Forefathers'
dinner of the Swedish Colonial So
ciety. Secretary Ickes is an honor
AIRY member Of the society and 50
is his chief. President Roosevelt,
who traces back to Swedish plo-
neers in America.
Each Strain Faces Test.
With background of Scotch,
Dutch, Finnish and Swedish, Secre-
tary Ickes no doubt will put each
strain to the test this Fall when he
probably takes the stump in the
presidential election campaign.
To his Swedish audience last
night Mr.. Ickes explained the ap-
parent confusion over his Scandi-
navian strain. Early inquiries
seemed to point to Swedish ances-
tors, but further investigation, he
explained, seemed to establish them
as Films.
I'VE Ickeses are from Pennsyl-
vania and among our ancestors were

as occasion required"
Early Settlers Along Delaware.
It's combination, Mr.. Ickes said,
that is hard to beat"
The Cocks and the Rambos-he
uses the Swedish spelling because
1t Is shorter-were among the
earliest settlers along the Delaware.
Peter Rambo reached those shores
in 1910. Mr.. Ickes said, and thus
may have established the oldest
family in Pennsylvania. Peter Cock
followed in 164l and became q
magistrate.
Within IA years Peter Cocks son,
Capt. Lawrence Cock, obtained a
tract of 1000 acres in the ancient
Indian village of Passyunk, which is
now Southwestern Philadelphia.
IF only we descendants had some
OF that real estate today" Mr.. Ickes
said. But the only thing that I,
personally, seem to have in common
with Capt. Lawrence Cock is In
dians. He was chief Indian agent
in the Penn colony and I, as Sec
retary of the Interior, am in charge
of Indian affairs"

Nebraska and Illinois
Voting Today for
President Choices
Third-Term Movement
And Dewey Focing
Farm Belt Tests

By the Associated Press.
Illinois and Nebraska provided
two more farm belt tests today Of
the popularity Of the Roosevelt
third term movement and Of
Thomas E. Dewey. campaigning for
the Republican presidential nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Dewey, who won Wisconsin's
"a Republican delegates last week
over Senator Vandenberg of Mich
igan, was matched against the same
opponent in the Nebraska primary
He had no party opposition in
Illinois.
The Democratic situation was the
reverse. President Roosevelt, who
has given no hint as to whether he
would accept another nomination,
was unopposed in Nebraska. In
Illinois, however, the third term
forces reached showdown with
supporters of Vice President Garner.
Twofold interest centered on the
Illinois voting for so national con-
vention delegates. Eight additional
ones will be chosen in State conven-
tions.
Avowedly Out for Big Vote.
The Kelly Nash Democratic Or
ganization was avowedly out to roll
up q big vote for President Roose-
welt on the theory that an over
whelming victory would lead to his
early denomination. Garner men,
on the other hand, pinned hopes on
a showing formidable enough to
curb third-term talk.
The heavy-vote psychology like
wise was uppermost with the Dewey
forces. They hoped that a large
turnout for the New York prosecu-
tor would hearten Republicans in q
State which may be pivotal in No
vember.
In Nebraska IA delegates were at
stake in each party. Mr.. Dewey, in
a final appeal to the State where
he has appeared twice. asked votes
as "a rebuke to the New Deal ad-
'ministration."
Senator Vandenberg did not cam
paign in the State. but presented his
cause by radio. Senator Nye, Re-
publican, Of North Dakota. however
visited the State in his behalf.
The results Of presidential pref
erence voting are not binding on
delegates in either Nebraska or
Illinois.
Contests for Senate.
Contests for Democratic senatorial
nominations enlivened the voting in
both States. In Nebraska, Senator
Burke sought denomination against
Gov. r. L. Cochran. Senator Burke
was a leading opponent of the
Roosevelt court bill and some other
New Deal measures, but backed the
President in such contests as the one
last fall over neutrality legislation.
In Illinois, Senator Slattery was a
candidate to continue serving the
unexpired term of the late ]. Hamil-
ton Lewis. He headed Democratic
State ticket backed by Gov. Henry
Horner and the Kelly Nash forces.
Opposing him was Benjamin S.
Adamowski, State legislative
leader.
1t. Gov. John Stelle, anti-organi-
zation aspirant to the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination, abruptly
proclaimed himself Acting Gov
ernor" yesterday in an effort to
supersede the ailing State executive.
Gov. Horner, backing Mr.. Stelle's
primary opponent, Harry B. Hershey,
termed the move pathetic antics -
and insisted Il will continue to
serve as Governor"

Before Engineers Union

President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor to-
day challenged officers and members
Of the A. F. Of L. to take a firm
stand against wage reductions and
to fight to raise those wages to a
scale higher and higher"
In an address at the 21st conven-
ton of the International Union Of
Operating Engineers, meeting at the
Raleigh Hotel, Mr.. Green:
Assailed industries which attach
Importance only to productions.
Reiterated in strong terms his
stand for a six-hour day and five
day week.
Condemned the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations for it's re-
fusal to negotiate a peace in labor S

cially than ever before in history
Anti-War Pledge Repeated.

foreign policy and declared that
labor would continue to do all in It's
power to avoid ENHANCEMENT in the
European war.
Discussing working conditions and
unemployment, Mr.. Green declared:
III we are to do the work of the
world with machinery, we must
shorten the work day and the work
week" The A. F. L. head said hours
must be shortened to make room
for workers displaced by machines.
Mr.. Green also urged the reduc-
ton Of the retiring age limit under
the social security laws so that the
number who are retired each year
will equal those seeking employment.
Mr.. Green blamed John L. Lewis,
head OF the G. I. O., for the failure
OF American labor to bring peace
within its ranks, and said that many
c. I. o. members have become dis
gruntled when they realized their
leader was refusing "even a great
Presidents request" for labor peace,
and had returned to the "house of
labor" the A. F. of L.
Hitler and Stain Blamed,
Mr.. Green blamed the European
war on Dictator Hitler and Die
tator Stain as we'll"
But regardless of where our SEN
timents naturally ie," Mr.. Green
said, "the labor movement is dead
set against our Nation ever becom-
Tag Involved in the European con-
fict."
Mr.. Green promised that the
A. F. of L. would exercise "all the
power we can command" to prevent
the slaughter of our young men on
the battleflelds of Europe"
More than 500 members of the En-
gineers' International Union heard
