Dressmakers' Contract
Lets Them Advise Bosses
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Sixty thou
sand of the city,s $4,000 organized
dressWorkers went to work today
under a new contract enabling them
to advise their employees how to
run New York's largest industry
efficiently.
Terms Of the novel agreement,
signed yesterday and effective three
wears, also call for industry and
labor to cooperate in raising S3000,-
600 to S4,50O,0O00 for promotion and
publicity to establish New York as
the worlds fashion center.
The pact, between the joint Dress
Board of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union "a F. l.
and four of five large employer as
sociations, was hailed by Mayor F.
H. La Guardia as heraldlng "a new
era in labor relations.
The efficiency clause provides for
a special department in the Office
of the industrys impartial chairman
to assist employers in improving
their business and gives workers the
right to insist upon efficient manage
nent.
The Mayor called upon the United
Better Dress Manufacturers Asso-
citation, which did not sign the con-
tract, to Join in the agreement. but
that group refused. declaring the
efficiency measure would force its
700 contractors, with $4,000 workers,
out of business.

100000 Nazis Could Take
Brazil, SAYS PubIicist
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-Hubert
Herring, director of the Commit
tee on Cultural Relations with
Latin America, said yesterday on his
arrival from South America that
100000 Germans loyal to the Nazi
government but living In Southern
Brazil might be able to take that
country by determined coup.
Brazil's army and navy are so
poor they could not resist the move,
and Germans could maintain their
control by installing Nazi admin
istration behind Brazilian names,
he said.
Mr.. Herring, who arrived aboard
the Chilean liner Copiapo, praised
American diplomatic staffs in South
America as the best he had seen
In the area in the last 20 years.
Most South Americans, from con-
servatives to radicals, have enthusi-
asm for President Roosevelt's poll
cies, because to them he typifies
world democracy, he said.
He said Bolivia had more official
pro-German sentiment than the
other South American countries.

Nazi Envoy in Uruguay
Reported Recalled
Because Of Failures
Diplomatic Setback Seen
In mobility to Stop
Anti-Germun Journals
By ALLEN HADEN,

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 19-Otto
Langmann, German minister to
Uruguay, has been recalled because
of repeated failures in his diplo-
matte functions, according to an ex-
elusive story published in the news
paper Critica last night.
Critica also sees the recall recently
of the italian minister as indicating
recognition of the failure of the to-
talitarians to impose their views and
purposes on Uruguay.
1t is recalled that during the Graf
Spec incident when the German
pocket battleship tcrippled in battle
with British warships) took refuge
in Montevideo harbor, Alberto
GUAM, Uruguayan foreign minister,
applied a strictly correct interpreta-
ton of international law in what
Langmann protested was an un-
friendly fashion. Subsequently, the
Uruguayan government outlawed
the NaZi party in the country and,
during the judicial investigation of
its activities, jailed seven Nazi party
organizers They are still jailed
Langma aims failure to have
stopped certain publications whose
tenor was anti-NaZi also has been
seen as a diplomatic setback. Only
El Debate, the organ of the Her
rerista party is editorially attuned
in favor of the totalitarians. Uru-
guay's great newspapers, such as
El Dia and Ell Pals, are frankly
and wholly democratic in tone.
Closure of the German schools
recently is said to have been the
croWning blow by this small and
weak country" following failure to
prevent the showing Of Charlie
Chaplin's film THE Great Die
tator."
That any other man might also
have failed when tackling the
granite -jawed GUAM means nothing.
Langmann's recall is not only a con-
fession of the failure of German
diplomatic pressure, but is a subtle
compliment to the steadfast GUAM
and to the Uruguayan government
for the maintenance of its SOW
ereignty and independence.

Virginia Board Orders
Insurance Rate Slash
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 19.-The
State Corporation Commission ap-
proved yesterday reductions in work
mems compensation insurance rates
estimated TO save Virginia employ
ers more than 100000 a year.
The new rates, effective April /,

prepared by the Workmen's Com
pensation Inspection Rating Bureau.
The revisionS will afford manu-
featuring industries covered by the
Workmen's compensation law a rs
per cent reduction, contracting
business a 4 per cent reduction and
all other groups a reduction of 5.1
per cent. The new rates will apply
to new and renewal business.
BY another order of the commits
sion minimum rates also were set

tive March l. Later on a schedule
rating plan, now being developed,
will be placed before the commits
sion for approval.

British Curb Exports
To a Lutin Countries
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 1e-The govern
ment announced today that it was
prohibiting the export of goods
from Britain to Brazil. Chile, Colom-
bia and Peru except by license, effec-
tive March s.
The announcement, by the Board
OF Trade, said the order was issued
in order that the utmost possible
benefit may be derived from United
Kingdom exports and with a view
to insuring that the volume of ex-
ports is kept within the means Of
payment"
. An informed source said Britain
was not planning any immediate re-
duction in exports to the four coun-
tries, but that the order might well
serve in the future to strike a bal
ance between the value Of goods ex-
ported TO them and their ability
TO pay.
This source added that the coun-
tries affected have been able to paw
for what Britain has sent them to
date and the new full control of
exports would insure future pay
ments.

ReapportionmentPla Plan
Approved by House
Affects Is States
California and Six Others
Stond to Gain by
Proposed Formula
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House approved yesterday a
reapportionment of its 435 seats on
the basis of 1910 census figures
changing the size of 16 State dele
cations, but making no increase in
the total number of Representatives.
The action involved adoption of a
new formula for allotting the seats
among the 48 States. If the Senate
fails to take similar action before
March 8, however, the new reappor-
tionment will be made under the
method formerly used.
Whichever method ultimately pre-
walls, California will gain three
seats, and Arizona, New Mexico,
Florida, oregon, Tennessee and
North Carolina each will gain one.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania and Ohio each will lose
one seat.
Arkansas Would Lose One Seat.
Under the old formula, Michigan
would gain one seat at the expense
of Arkansas, while the system pre-
scribed by the House yesterday
would leave these States present
delegations unchanged at seven for
Arkansas and II for Michigan
The bill passed by the House, 2l0
to 143, was fought by Michigan
members and virtually all the Re-
publicans. inasmuch as Arkansas
delegation is solidly Democratic by
tradition while Michigan has elect
ed IL Republicans and six Demo-
Gratis.
Senators Caraway and Miller of
Arkansas promptly announced that
they would seek to expedite Senate
consideration of the bill, while both
Michigan's Senators, Republican
Vandenberg and Democrat Brown,
gave notice that they would fight
the measure.
Opponents held out for retention
of the major fractions" method of
pportionment which has been used
since 1910. The new system is known
as the equal proportions" method.
Greater Uniformity Cited.
The mathematical formula for
these two systems were not eX-
planned on the House floor, but
sponsors of the equal proportions"
methods cited these figures:
Michigan now has II members
and Arkansas 7. If those seats are
retained under the equal proper
tionS" system the average Michigan
district would have 80 ,669 more peo-
pie and be 1102 per cent larger
than the average Arkansas district.
If the major fractions" system
were adopted and Michigan given
l8 seats to Arkansas 6, the average
Arkansas district would have 80 1892
more people and be 1925 per cent
larger than the average Michigan
district.
Thus, advocates of the equal pro-
portions" plan argued that their
system provides greater uniformity
than the major fractions" method.

Army 10 Administer
Experimental C.C.C.
Camp in Vermont
Well-to-Do EnrolIees
Muy Remain; Inquiry by
House Unit to Continue
= BY OLIVER MCKEE.

Under orders issued by James J.
McEntee. director of the Civilian
Conservation Corps, the War De-
partment will assume direct COM
mand over the C. C. c. experiment
tai camp at Sharon, VT, it was
learned from congressional sources
today. The orders provide that the
Sharon camp henceforth shall be
administered under the same reg
ulations that apply to other c. c. C.
camps
Established last year, the Sharon
camp includes among its enrollees a
number of Harvard and Dartmouth
students. Its administration has
been in the hands of the Agricul-
ture Department.
A House Appropriations Subcom-
mittee has been investigating the
camp in executive session. In the
House last week, the Sharon camp
was criticized by Representatives
Case of South Dakota and Engel of
Michigan, Republicans.
Professor Helped Plan Camp.
The camp program was formulat-
ed by an advisory council, one of
whose members is Prof. Eugene
Rosenstock- -Huessy of Dartmouth.
A. former organizer of work camps
in Germany, Prof. Huessy came to
this country about eight years ago
T,o hi L.
week Representative Case placed in
the Record letter from the Justice
Department showing that Prof.
Huessy had filed a petition for nat
uralization.
One objective of the college group
sponsoring the Sharon camp was
to demonstrate that a Government
work service, drafting young men
from all social strata, not Just from
the underprivileged could provide a
substitute for the spiritual energy
resulting from war. in other words,
provide the moral equivalent" of
war urged by William James, IA
NOUS Harvard philosopher.
Many Enrollees Well to Do.
Many Of the Sharon enrolleeS have
come from Well-to-do families. The
order placing the War Department
in command of the camp, it is
understand, does not contemplate any
immediate change in the status of
the "privileged' youths now on its
rolls. Presumably, they will be per-
mitted to remain.
Though a War Department officer
will command the camp, work
projects will remain under the super
vision of Agriculture Department
technicians.
The House Appropriations Sub
committee plans to continue its in
vestigation of the administration
and organization of the camp, Chair
man Tarver said.
