Canon City, Colo, April 2.-(UP) Opal Mckinley, a Wyoming con- vict serving her time in Colorado State Penitentiary, rebelled today against the dictum that because she is forger she has no right to the baby to which she will give birth "any time now.'
 J. s. Weppner, head of the Wyom- ing prison board, announced that her baby would be taken from her as soon after its birth as practic- able and sent to the Wyoming Chil- dren,s home at Casper, Wyo., to await adoption.
 Mrs. Mckinley, it was understood, was planning court fight to keep her baby. She insisted upon her right to her children and wants to send it to her mother until she gets out of prison.
 Wyoming and Colorado officials made arrangements to prevent the unborn baby entering the world in prison. WheL her times comes, Mrs. Mckinley will be taken to St. Thomas More hospital, Her ordeal

 Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain warned Europe's neutrals today that the Allied powers have decided to go the limit in their economic war against Germany and that aid to the Reich might render them lia- ble to the hideous fate" of past vic- tins of Adolf Hitler's foreign policy.
 In the first explanation to the House of Commons of decision taken by last weeks meeting of the Allied Supreme War Council, the Prime Minister said that regardless of neutral sufferings and protests:

THIRD PARTY OF
 LEWIS DOUBTED
Political Statistics Attest That Only One Such
 Party Ever Won
By LYLE C. WILSON Limited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, April 2-(UP)-Po- litical statistics offered little prom ise today that President John l.. Lewis of the Congress of Industrial organizations would be able to com- pei the Democratic party to choose a 194O presidential candidate and platform cut to his pattern.
 Lewis threatened yesterday to or ganize 8 third party with farm, labor, Townsend plan and Negro votes unless Democrats choose a platform and candidate suitable to him. He told upwards of 100000 persons at Monongah, w. Va, that he assumed the Republican party candidates and platform would be unsuitable, leaving it, therefore, to the Democrats to avert this third party movement.
 Sen. Sherman Minton, D., Ind. said he had no doubt the Demo- crats would nominate liberal this year but predicted that any third party led by Lewis would poll fewer than 100000 votes.
 Veto of Lewis
 Several outstanding Democrats already have been vetoed by Lewis so far as 1940 is concerned. He called Vice President John N. Gar ner a poker playing, whisky drink ing, labor batting, evil old man." He has denounced Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt in public and has indicated opposition to Secretary of State Cordell Hull ill private. Lewis has never saic he would not vote for President Roosevelt's reelection, but he Saio publicly last January that MT Roosevelt would be defeated if he ran again.

CRIME FALLING
 OFF IN STATE

Hartford, Conn.,, April 2-UP)- Crime has been falling off in Con- necticut since 1883 and now has Init a low ebb," according to George C Erskine, superintendent of the Cheshire state reformatory.
 In 1883 there were 469 inmates at the reformatory, he said, whereas the present population is 260.
 He believed, however, that about every 10 years the penal institutions fill up and then begin to recede in population, usually at rate two years behind the experience in New York state"

SUBWAY STRIKE

So Says John L. Lewis as He Arrives to Talk
 Over Trouble
BY JOSEPH l.. MYLER Limited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, April 2 - OP) - John L. Lewis, president of the Con- gress of Industrial Organizations, said today there was mo necessity" for a threatened subway strike which, if called, would paralize transportation in four of New York City's five boroughs.
 Lewis came here from Monogah, w. Va, to take command of union forces which have threatened a strike to force the city to take over closed shop contracts in their en- tirety when a transit unification plan becomes effective next sum- mer.
 Before proceeding to confer ence with leaders of the Transport Workers Union, CIO, Lewis said: there is no necessity for strike.
 Lewis arrived as all city depart ments were operating under a vir- tual police dictatorship effective un- til a. m. Wednesday, by which time, it was believed, the union would have decided whether its 27,-

TWELVE DEAD IN RAGING FLOODS

BY OSCAR FRALEY

OHIttU TTGSS StdH correspondent
 Wilkes Barre, Pa, April 2-(UP)- The flooded Susquehanna River reached crest here early today, momentarily easing the disaster to a vast inundated area in which F persons already were dead, five mis- sing and 30,000 homeless.
 Engineers measured the river here at SIS feet, two feet below the high mark of the disastrous 1886 flood, and expected it to remain stationary throughout the morning, but any more rains or continued warm wea- ', ther to melt the snows north of here would release new torrents upon the whole 200-mile Susquehanna basin through which the flood extended.

REPORT TO THE
WORKERS ALLIANCE

Remember this II you do not get Wtltl-
ever you think You need, report 10 lhe
Workers Alliance, CLIO. or Labors Non
Partisan league.
Thus were BraWley MeNcans admon-
ished by a handbll distributed by the
Workers Alliance. union OF rellef Gil
ents and macontents, while BraWley
sought To rebuild city hard MT pS
earthquake damage.
While lmperial Valley through coop
GRAFTON and mutual help seeks to repair
damage and minimize loss by abollshlng
class feeling in he face OF an emergency,
the Workers Alliance seeks only TO create
new trouble, agitate dissatisfaction and
swell its ranks of dues-paNlng members
through a campaign based ON somebody
clSe'S tragedy.
Nothing more should be needed to
prove the source from which the Work
ers Alliance derives its method of oper-
alton. Nothing could prove any more
thoroughly the fact that the Workers
Alliance is interested solely in creating
trouble not at all in improving eondl-
tions 50 that people can get Off OF re-
lief.
The handbill in question advised the
MeXicans, and others to whom It was
distributed. that they are entitled to re-

ing and medical care; also the rebuilding
Of your wrecked homes.
There are those who will argue that
the people in question are entitled 10
nothing al all What they may receive,
they get because Of the charity practlced
by the community We are entitled
only to that which we earn. Certainly
the people to whom the Workers Alliance
attempts 10 appeal have not earned that
To which the Alliance tells them they are
entitled.
The handbill, however, goes beyond
mere misrepresentation. 1t strikes into
the most baldfaced Of lies in the state
ment that the people in question are 'en-
titled" to the rebuilding Of their wreck
ed homes
There is no way the State Relief Ad-
ministration, any other agency, or any
federal Igency can possibly rebuild or
help to rebuild any home damaged by
the earthquake. no matter whose it is
But then the Workers Alliance has
never bothered about truth or logic, and
chances are it never will.
One hope remains-that when the Fifth
Column investigation in the United States
really gets under way. it will lose few
of its top-flight leaders.
