CHICAGO, Oct. 18-President
RooSevelt's Fact-Finding Board
offered today to arbitrate the wage
dispute between the nations rail-
roads and 100000 organized en-
ployes, provided both parties re-
quested and agreed to accept the
boards recommendations as "a full
and complete settlement"
The board also offered to act as
middleman in mediation efforts,
passing proposals and counter pro-
posals from one party to the other
but said it could not recommend
or pass judgment on such proposals.
Chairman Wayne Lyman Morse
emphasized in a prepared statement
that the five-man body did not
recommend either arbitration or
mediation, but offered its good
offices in response to President
Roosevelt's instructions that it
make every effort to settle this
dispute
J. Carter Fort. chief counsel for
the carriers, and Charles NJ. Hay,
counsel for the operating brother
hoods, said the proposal was un-
expected and they were not pre-
pared to comment
The boards offer came at the
close of five weeks of public testi-
mony which ended today. Tomor-
row the two parties are expected
to file briefs. On Monday and Tues
day the board is scheduled to hear
oral arguments by the carriers and
the unions.
If the dispute is not settled by
or mediation, the board
will submit its recommendations to

The law provides no power to
enforce the boards recommended
tions, the theory being that public
opinion would compel acceptance.

President Is Silent
On Kearny and Asiatic
Developments
Hussett Denies Report
Horrimun Is on Way
To Hyde Park
BY BLAIR BOLLES,
Star Staff Correspondent,

HYDE PARK, N. Y. Oct. l8.-
President Roosevelt, week ending
here in rainy weather, maintained
today policy of absolute silence
on all matters, including the press
ing international problems arising
out of the Kearny incident and the
choice of the new cabinet in Japan.
Wise but unofficial observers saw
method in the Presidents course.
BY saying nothing, the President
keeps the door open for Japan to
continue its efforts to arrange a Far
Eastern settlement, and at the same
time he dlScourageS national alarm.
The administration is reported to
have turned down a Japanese offer
last week to withdraw from the
AXIS If the United States would
negotiate peace in China. But the
administration has made no an
nouncement of this development,
and Japan is free to offer more bar
gains without the loss of face that
would come with high official COM
nent on japanese difficulties.
Swamp Expert Calls.
The only news purveyed by the
temporary White House executive
office in Poughkeepsie today was
that Mr.. Roosevelt had a visit from
a Department of Agriculture swamp
expert, E. c. Auchter. The Presi-
dent is said to have some swamp
land on his Hudson River estate
here that might be drained.
The rumor kept reaching nearby
Poughkeepsie throughout the day
that w. Averell Hartman was at
Hyde Park or on his way. After he
had been asked for the fifth time to
confirm this story, William D. Has
sett, presidential secretary, de-
nounced it as downright falsehood
Mr.. Hartman undoubtedly has
news of interest for Mr.. Roosevelt. |
He is fresh from Moscow, where he
consulted with Joseph Stain in his
capacity as American leader of the
Anglo American mission to the
Soviet.
Secret Data Would Be Useful.
If Mr.. Hartman has any secret |
information that he has not already
phoned or cabled to Mr.. Roosevelt, |
it undoubtedly would be useful to
the President in shaping his policy
to meet the problems raised by the
current Russian military reverSes. |
The fate of Russia and the decisions
Of Japan usually are considered |
closely linked.
Mr.. Hartman was in Washington |
this morning and repeatedly in New
York, IS miles south of here, later. |
He may come up yet, but nothing is
said about it. !

ernmental agencies, labor unions
and shipping interests.
Preliminary studies of the sta
tutes and regulations indicate that
by some revision alien seamen
might be used.
Law Governing the Situation.
An act OF February 5, 1917, 1t
was said, makes it unlawful for a
ship master to pay off or discharge
an alien employed on any vessel
entering a United States port from
any foreign port unless duly ad-
mitted under the immigration laws.
However, there is a provision that
master can discharge a seaman
if the latter intends to re-ship on
another foreign vessel. In that
event. he may be admitted tenn
porarily-60 days, under immigra-
tion regulations.
But an act of July l, 1924, pro-
vides that any alien not entitled
to enter as an immigrant, who re-
mains longer than permitted, shall
be deported.
But the opinion has been ex-
pressed by immigration officials that
their regulation might be modified.
In the case of non-subsidized
vessels, it was said that the law
requires that not less than rs per
cent of the crew of the vessel must
be citizens of the United States
Evening star., 1941-04-27

unless the Secretary of Commerce
ascertains that qualified American
seamen are not available in sufh-
cient numbers.
Percentages Of Aliens Allowed.
In the case of subsidized vessels,
the crews of cargo ships must be
100 per cent American and on pas
senger vessels, 80 per cent Of the
aliens must be in the stewards de-
partment. In other words, the oper-
ating personnel must be American
citizens.
But, it was said, the law provides
that during national emergency
these provisions may be suspended.
Maritime lawyers, however, have ex-
pressed doubt as to whether this
could be done under the Presidents
limited emergency proclamation
under which the Nation now is oper-
ating. They have expressed the
opinion that to permit greater per-
centages of foreigners or even full
foreign crews that the President
must proclaim full emergency.
1t was further pointed out that
under a current regulation, the
immigration laws provide that If
an alien seaman signs up aboard a
coastwise vessel, he shall be deemed
to have overstayed his 60-day
Limitation and must be deported.

Ward was unpopular in his day."
Mr.. Chugerman declared, because
of his views on religion. His re-

could not rely on any supernatural
power. He relied too much on mans
mental abilities"
