WINANT IN LEAD FOR LONDON POST

Meanwhile, the name most se- riously considered for the job now is supposed to be that of John G. Win ant, former governor of New Hamp- shire and now director of the In- ternational Labor Office.
 Kennedy is reported to have warn ed the President that British labor ties are getting more and more power and that the next ambassa- dor had better be someone who talks their language. Winant would fill the bill admirably in that respect. He knows Home Secretary Herbert Morrison and Minister of Labor Err nest Bevin intimately, and it is un- derstood that his appointment would be highly acceptable" in London.
 In Washington, Winant appoint ment would be widely approved. He is respected for his ability, is con- sidered to have the sort of personal ity that makes a good diplomat, and has never been identified with the ardent crowd. The organized peace groups would probably okay him. '
 MORE ABOUT
 THAT BOMB SIGHT
 Death of British Ambassador Lord Lothian recalls an unwritten bit of history connected with the still-nyS- terious British deal for the U. s. bomb sight.
 Working in Washington to get the bomb sight for Britain was Sir Charles Ross, English inventor who brought out the famous Ross rifle in Canada during the last war. Ross made a number of efforts to |get Senator Burton K. Wheeler, isolationist leader, to relax his op- position to release of the bomb sight. Wheeler laughed these et- forts off.
 About month ago, however, Ross jubilantly told friends, Well, we've got the bomb sight" Some- one ferried the remark to Gen. George 0. Marshall, chief of staff, who explained that an early -model sight had been released to Britain.
 Ross only grinned when in- formed of that. You've got an army and navy bomb sight" he said. "The services are bit jeal- ous of each other, and each one claims its sight is the better. We say we'd just as soon have one as the other. Anyhow, we've got what we want, and Lord Lothian is fly ing it back to Great Britain" A day or so later Lothian did go back to England.

11Ct1Q Ol this movement as soon as possible after the first of the year.
 Right now one thing is holding him back-a bit of caany maneu- vering by President Roosevelt.
 When Kennedy handed in his resignation aS ambassador, FDR asked him as a personal favor to keep the title until new man could be appointed and confirmed. Kennedy agreed. To date no suc- cessor has been picked.
 Which has Kennedy stynied. For although he isn't going back to England, and is no longer on the payroll, he still is technically the U. s. ambassador-to be exact, by diplomatic usage, he is Roose- veltae ~nrbassador. Hence he can- not lift his voice in opposition to FDR's foreign policy, even though he is straining at the leash to do so.
 This may explain the long delay in naming a new ambassador.

Miss Perkins Sees Labor Split
As Future Blessing to Unions
Surveys 28-Yeor
History Of Her
Department
BY RUTH COWAN,
Associated Press STAFF Writer.

Boston-born Frances Perkins, sur
veying the 28-year history of her
Department of Labor, suggested yes
terday that in another quarter
century the split between the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor and the
Committee of Industrial Oraganiza-
tions may be regarded as a blessing.
For the present, the conflict has
been unfortunate, she hastened to
add, because 1t has created din.
culties both for employers and for
the Government.
But 1t will all work out" said
the dark-haired Secretary Of Labor.
And when the two factions finally
come togther-as she believes they
will-the break in labor's ranks will
have been of benefit to the unions.
Miss Perkins explained that the
conflict had stimulated labor leaders
to new drives for membership and
for union representation in in
dustry.
Before the split between A. F. of
L. and c. I. O., she said, some unions
had become unmindful of the plight
of workers not qualified to join,
and some union leaders had become
sluggish.
The conflict, she said, made union
leaders realize that the time was
opportune for progress in behalf
of labor.
Signs Of Coming Accord.
There are signs Of coming ac-
cord between A. F. cf L. and G. I.
O., Miss Perkins said in an inter-
view, but apparently they are not
ready just yet" The signs are found
out in the country, where union
organizers on one side sometimes
are found respecting the activities
OF the opposing group.
Peace finally will come, she said,
through a change Of attitude of
people-just as all real changes
have come"
Labor's immediate future should
be a time of perfecting gains al
ready achieved, she said.
Her prescription for putting
money into the pockets of both
employers and employees includes
a vigorous housing program, stimu-
lation of home markets, encourage
ment of new ways of individual
self-support and peace in labor's
family.
Far-Reaching Laws Passed.
Sitting in her handsome high
ceiling, wood-paneled Office in the
magnificent new Labor Department
Building, Miss Perkins could realize

Judge Casey Rules
Attorney Must Face
Drunken Charge
Declares Police Were
Within. Rights in Making
Wurruntless Arrest

A plea filed in Police Court before
Judge Walter j. Casey by Bart
Clines, 40-year-old lawyer, claiming
the court had no Jurisdiction to try
him on charges of drunkenness and
disturbing the peace because the de-
fendant was arrested in his home by
police without a warrant, yesterday
was overruled by Judge Casey.
Under the ruling Clines will have
to stand trial, no date for which has
been set.
Judge Casey took the plea under
advisement last month after hear
ing argument for it by Clines' at
torneys, William Sullivan and Levi
H. David, and argument against it
by Assistant Corporation Counsel
Milton Norman.
Judge Casey's Ruling.
"The arrest of the defendant with
out warrant is the first concern
of the court" He asserted, however,
In overruling the plea, that the off,
GERS were justified in entering Clines'
home, 1841 North Capitol street, on
January 27, when the arrest was
made, declaring it was entered by
the officers in the reasonable belief
that a felony had been committed"
after they had received a radio call
THE latter was to the effect" said
Judge Casey, that a dlsorderly
drunk was breaking into the rear of
these premises. Upon arrival, one
OF the officers saw broken pane of
glass in the rear door of the prem
ises, which seemed to confirm the
report they had received by radio"
Information filed against Clines
charges him with having been drunk
in his home and having disturbed
the peace there. A separate infor-
nation also charges him with having
been drunk on North Capitol street,
where Attorneys David and Sullivan
claim Clines was taken by the off,
GERS to the police car.
Holds Police Justified.
In overruling the plea, Judge Casey
elsewhere said:
"The defendants conduct and in
toxication constituted a disturbance
Of her (Mrs. Clines) peace and was
a definite breach of the peace COM
mitted in the presence of the officers.
Upon this ground alone the officers
were justified in making the arrest
and it is reasonable to find that the
officers had ample ground to appre-
hend that the commission of a more
serious offense was imminent in the
event of their failure to make an
arrest at that time"

Rep. Smith Introduces
Bill To Prevent Strikes

WASHINGTON, Nov. % Up -
Representative Smith Oval in
troduced a bill today intended to
prevent strikes and stoppages of
work at plants having defense con-
tracts.
Smith said the legislation would
provide heavy penalties for sabot-
age, would make it unlawful for
employees to strike without thirty
days notice, would forbid employ
ers to conduct a lock out and would
make it unlawful to coerce a pros
pective worker in such plants with
regard to membership in a labor
organization.
Smith said that in case of a lock
out or strike the secretary of labor
would be required to offer media
ton. If that was unsuccessful, ar
bitration would be proposed and if
either party should reject it, the
facts would be given to the Presi-
dent who would make public such
reports.
