crew grumbled that the chef served
too much tripe

had been thrown in improperly.

to eat our way through tripe to get
to the pork chops"
So-as the National Maritime

Union Man nContradicts
Migrants Claim $500
In Cash Was Asked
Union Allowed Work
At Fort BeIvoir for $50
And 81 q Day, He Says
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

ers' Union CA. F. of L. denied to-
day before the special House COM
mittee investigating the plight Of
migratory workers that $500 in cash
was demanded Of non-union men
seeking work as electricians at Fort
Belvoir, Va. He said the union
initiation fee was $500, but that $50
was the amount required in ad-
vance and that the rest was collect
ed in installments at the rate Of 81
day.
The committee called Mr.. Preller
to the witness stand after hearing
David w. Thomas, q so-called mi
gratory worker. testify that an
electrical union in Washington had
asked him for $500 as an initiation
fee to join the organizations pre-
requisite, he said, to being given a
job at Fort Belvoir.
The committee started its investi-
CATION Of the Thomas case at the
suggestion of Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who testified yesterday as
to her observations in the camps of
migratory workers In various Sec
tions of the country.
Fee Purposely Set High.
Mr. Preller said the $500 initia-
ton fee has been in effect for Is
years, and was purposely fixed
high because the Electrical Workers
Union wanted only high class
men, in the organization and
wanted them to be staple"
In response to questions, Mr.
PIeller said he had never talked
With Mr.. Thomas, nor had he ever
seen him until he took the witness
stand before he was called by the
committee. He declared. however,
that If Mr.. Thomas had $50 to pay
the advance on his $500 initiation
fee and passed an examination
showing he was qualified electrical
worker he could have joined the
union and been eligible for work
at Fort Belvoir.
Mr.. Thomas, a migrant worker
from St. Louis who is living with his
wife and six children in an auto
mobile trailer at a tourist camp on
the outskirts of Alexandria, Va, was
asked by the committee to relate his
experiences in seeking work at Fort
Belvoir chiefly because Mrs. Roose-
welt thought his case should be in
vestigated. She heard Mrs. Thomas
tell the committee yesterday a
union had demanded a $500 initia-
ton fee of her husband before he
would be permitted to go to work.
Site of Incident Corrected.
Mrs. Thomas testified her husband
sought work at Fort Meade, Md, and
did not get job because he did not
have the $500 demanded by the
union. Mr.. Thomas, on the witness
stand, however, corrected his wife's
testimony. He said he went to Fort
Belvoir and not Fort Meade in
search Of work and that his wife has
made "a mistake"

ROME, Aug. 2. (UP)-The Zero
hour for the British Isles is about
to strike, the newly appointed edi-
tor of Corriere Padano, newspaper
owned by the late Marshal Italo
Balbo, wrote in his first editorial
today.
Giuseppe Ravegnani, appointed by

when the zero hours arrives Italy,
which now is suffocating the very
life of the British empire by means
of its attacks in the Mediterranean

aim once and for all to crush the
might of the British empire"
Nello Quilici, former editor of

Balbo in an air crash at Tobruk,
Libya, several weeks ago.
1.-The zero hour will sound shortly
in a grave and decisive manner for
Britain and when that hours ar
rives the axis powers will launch
an attack with perfect unison of
tempo and the entire world will
witness supreme defense on one
part and offense on the other which
will be carried out in a manner
never before seen in the military
engagements of history" Raveknani
wrote today.

British man in the street will sud-
denly open his eyes but it will be
