A. F. |. Charges Lewis
Blocked Labor Peace
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MIAMI. Fla, Feb. 8-The Amer
ican> Federation of Labor today di-
rectly charged John L. Lewis, c. I. O.
chieftain, with blocking peace be-
tween the organizations and asked
President Roosevelt to make pub
lie what each of the two labor fac
tions had agreed to do 80 that re-
sponsibility for failure to resume
peace negotiations = shall be
placed where it properly belongs"
William Green, federation presi-
dent, charged Lewis with failure
to continue peace negotiations, and
declared that the A. F. of L. had
always been willing to work toward
harmonious settlement of the long
and bitter dispute between the two
organizations.
Mr.. Green made public the fol-
lowing telegram he said had been
dispatched to the White House:
THE Executive Council of the
American Federation of Labor, now
meeting in Miami. respectfully re-
quests that you make public the
answers made by the American
Federation of Labor and the C. I
o. to your appeal that peace nego-
tiations be resumed.
The Executive Council feels as
a matter of simple justice that this
information should be given to labor
and to the people of our Nation so
that responsibility for failure to re-
sumo peace negotiations, as you re-
quested, shall be placed where 1t
properly belongs"

Meanwhile, in Finland there is
being demonstrated all over again
the World War and Spanish les
sons-that nothing will replace
training and leadership in war, that
infantry remains the decisive arm,
that the pouring in of fresh num-
bers once an attack has lost its
momentum only results in fresh
casualties. and yet that decisive re-
suits are only to be obtained by a
Well-handled and well-co- -ordinated
offensive, even though it be limited
in scope.
If and as this war continues, in
Finland. on the western front, at
sea, in fresh theaters of operations
perhaps, it will certainly see the
development of new weapons and
methods. But it seems little likely
either that these will upset the old
principles, or that they will appear
so suddenly as to be overwhelming
in effect. Rather does it seem prob
able that now, as in the past. they
will come slowly into use as result
of experimentation, of the method
of trial and error so appealing to
the cautious military mind. 1t
should not be forgotten that when
the fate of nation may hang on
a decision, it is we'll that such de-
cision be approached in no spirit
of reckless innovation or overconfl-
dence in untried means.

to Admiral Tributz, commander of
the Soviet Navy in the Baltic Sea.

exemplary fulfllment of tasks on

Soviet League Expert
Ordered Out by Swiss
By the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
BERNE, Feb. 8.-Switzerland to-
day ordered Soviet Russia's League
Of Nations expert, Vladimir Soko-
line, to leave the country within
two weeks.
The order was issued by both the
Swiss federal and Geneva contonal
governments, rejecting Moscows ex-
planation for wanting to keep So
koline in Switzerland.
Sokoline was dismissed as an un-
dersecretary of the League of Ma
tions after Soviet Russia's expul-
sion and Moscow had tried to OBJ
tain authorization for him to re-
main in Geneva as "liaison ofncer'
to the International Red Cross Com
mittee.
League experts, busily co-ordinat-
ing League members aid to Fin
land, have made no secret Of their
displeasure at having a trained So
Wet observer remaining in Geneva.
The International Red Cross
Committee, which appealed to Rus
sia during the Polish campaign and
since the Soviet invasion of Fin
land without reply, found Sokoline
had no authorization to confer with
it despite his new title.
Accordingly, Geneva contonal au-
thorities and the federal govern
ment, which has no relations with
Russia, asked Sokoline to leave. He
said he had no comment to make
and was awaiting instructions from
Moscow.

Reorganization Plans
May Be Divided Into
Two More Orders
First Proposal Due
To Go to Congress in
Week or 10 Days

Separation of further govern
mental reorganization plans into at
least two additional orders. by which
the expected congressional opposi-
ton to specific transfer proposals
would thus be spread out rather than
concentrated on a single order, was
definitely indicated today.
Submission to Congress of the first
of the forthcoming plans in the next
week or 10 days was predicted yes
terday afternoon by Chairman
Cochran of the Select House Com
mittee on Reorganization after a
conference with President Roosevelt
at the White House.
Remarking later that both inter
and intra-departmental revisions
are under contemplation. Mr.
Cochran made it clear that the divi-
sion of orders is being favored as a
device for discouraging a concentra-
ton of opposition.
There is always opposition to any
proposal for revising departmental
set-up,' Mr.. Cochran said. That is
one reason why We don't want to
load up an order with all the con-
troversial items"
BY the terms of the reorganiza-
ton law, the Presidents orders be-
come effective unless rejected by
both branches of the Congress
within so days of their promulga-
tion.
Already in the open is. bitter
fight over the suggested transfer of
the Forest Service from the Agri-
culture to the Interior Department.
Other shifts likewise are expected to
arouse some controversy, but the
Forest Service dispute might be of
sufficient magnitude, combined with
the others, to precipitate rejec-
ton.
In his second reorganization mes
sage, sent to Congress last May,
President Roosevelt said he was
considering a merger of Govern
ment map-making functions. a
transfer of deportation responsible
tiles from the Labor to the Justice
Department, and other overlapping
jurisdictions of the Agriculture and
Interior Departments.
Secretary of Interior Ickes and
Budget Director Harold D. Smith
accompanied Chairman Cochran's
group to the White House confer
ence yesterday.

Although the poodle is known as
the national dog of France, his orr
gin is probably German, where he
is known as 'pudel," from which
the English poodle is derived. In
France he Is known as a "caniche'
or "chien canne," both of which
mean duck dog
Since the inception of obedience
test trials in this country, there has
been little doubt here about the in
telligence Of the poodle. In the first
year or two of this sport. the poodle
set record which all other breeds
have been trying to break since
then. But 1t did not need these
trials in European countries to dem
onstrate the superior intelligence,
sweet disposition and general COM
panionability of this breed. Belgian
lace makers used their poodles to
assist them in smuggling lace. The
lace was wound tightly around the
dogs body, covered with a jacket OF
some sort. and the dog was sent on
his way, having learned to avoid
everybody in uniform.
However, the poodle is now pri-
marily a grand pet, companion
watch dog and dog of fashion. His
distinctive appearance makes him
the cynosure of all eyes. There are
three general sizes Of poodle: The
toy poodle, which is considered a
separate breed with a separate
standard Of less than 10 inches at
the shoulder; the standard poodle
and the miniature poodle. Although
each carries separate championship
points at the dog show. the latter
two are considered one breed The
standard is the same for both ex-
cept in the matter Of size. The
miniature must be under IS inches,
the standard over IS inches. Other
things being equal, the more minia-
ture a miniature is. and the larger
a standard is, the better.
The chief physical characteristics
of the poodle are its consciousness
of its own beauty, and its air OF
pride, both OF which contribute to
its style. A general air of activity
and intelligence distinguish it from
the crowd. A long full muzzle,
slightly full skull, dark eyes
black nose and level mouth
make up the head. The ears
are long and low set, hanging close
to the cheeks. A Awell-proportioned
strong neck and long, sloping shoul-
ders, deep, wide chest and short,
strong back, set on straight, we'll
boned and well-muscled legs, make
up graceful. proud looking body. A
very profuse coat of hard texture in
any solid color adds the final touch
Of distinction. Although white and
black are most commonly seen, both
standard and miniature poodles
come in apricot brown, blue, cream
and red.

A Dog Lovers Notebook

sired by their stud dog Fritz, other
wise Kampfhund " Stortzborg, best
of breed at Charlottesville, Va, and
a winner in other shows. This litter
arrived unexpectedly, when no one
was at home. Mrs. Perkins re-
turned to find their dog population
increased by three, and the dam
supposedly a temperamental one,
and therefore about to be quietly
secluded-contentedly nursing her
pups in one corner of the large
general run.
A casualty of the heat wave was
the all-white Patsy, belonging to
Mrs. Curtis Kittle of Arlington,
Va, and a daughter of the famous
old bulldog, Gen. Grant of R. X. O.
The Kittles still have her son, Duke,
and younger dog. Last summer,
they lost Dukes sister, Snooty
Duchess, while the Little General,
of the same litter-also sired by
Gen. Grant-died some time ago.
Patsy, as their first bulldog, had q
place which no other could fill, and
as she was still young, the blow
was unexpected and severe.
Although the big all-breed shows
here come in the spring, the fall is
busy time for the local exhibitor.
Puppy matches Of the bulldog,
cocker spaniel and boxer speciality
clubs are scheduled for autumn
week ends, and the date for the
Old Dominion K. G. puppy match

The neighboring Baltimore County
K. c. always holds its annual

popular affair 1t is. The National
Capitol K. G. will hold an all-breed
sanction match, its first in some
time, during October, probably at
Silver Spring, Md. All in all, the
pups and grown dogs hereabouts
already are marking their calen-
dars for a crowded fall schedule, for,
Of course, the regular shows also

There Is a third man using this
same shop, but his interests do not
come within the scope of our pres
ent story. However, they have a
schedule worked out for the use of
the shop. so that they do not inter-
fere with each other.
Both Meier and Tanquary are
versatile workmen, turning their
hands to any task which may be
necessary to complete their prof.
ects. Their shop Is equipped with
two metal turning lathes, Jig saw
and drill press, for power tools, and
a wide range Of hand tools. They
build the hulls for their craft en-
tirely from the rough stock; no kits
used. There are many special parts
required in installing the motors
and drive shafts, as practically every
boat differs from all the others to
greater or lesser extent. Special
shaft couplings, universal joints,
struts, and so forth, are often
necessary.
Rays class A boat is laid up
for repairs at present. Its motor
tried to fly to pieces the first time
he ran it this year. It will require
the replacement of many of its
internal parts such as bearings, con-
Meeting rods, etc., before it can run
again. Ray Is not working on it at
present, inasmuch as he wants to
have his new class D boat In
shape to race against the Baltimore
fellows on August II. And when I
last saw it. he still had plenty to
do. Normally he and Harold work
two nights a week on their projects,
and the hours really slip by when
one is so engaged.

Washington Model Power Boat Club,
and If you'd like to learn more about
the club, call him between S and 6
