The enlisted soldiers, Mr.. Luthi
reported, were routed from Salt Lake
City to Trenton, N. j.
Mr.. Luthi added that the Rus

he had no information whether the

He also said he did not know

Vichy
Continued From First Page.)

Germans asked in exchange for any
concessions to the French. Recent
Nazi demands for the occupation of
two Mediterranean harbors and
strlcter control of North Africa, it
may be recalled, were rejected by
Marshal Petain as being definitely
outside the armistice terms.
Economic questions discussed by
Admiral Darlan revolved in part
on revival of French industries,
which must start work quickly for
Frances financial and social benefit.
But no raw materials are obtainable
except from Germany and the Ger
mans are only too ready to assist
their defeated enemy-if they can
take the lions share of production.
1t is the position of Jacques Ber-
maud, Vichy delegate to Paris on
economic matters, that the Germans
should confine their interests to
peacetime industries, in which the
French are willing to increase their
share.
Whether the Germans will let him
have his way is doubtful This cor
respondent is able to state that the
recent Franco-German economic
agreement signed at Weisbaden-of
which nothing can be said owing to
the censorship-leaves little to hope
for in this respect.
Authoritative quarters insist that
whatever advantage a return to
Paris may bring-if it happens
Marshal Petain will not go back
on his present policy of cautious
collaboration without sacrifice of
French honor
The great question of the day is:
When will Adolf Hitler strike at
England?

page prominence to a. Berne dis
patch prognosticating that Ger
many must strike within the next
three months if it wants to finish
the war in 1941.
This seems to be the general opin-
ion of French newspapers. Politi-
cal circles, however, are convinced
that Germany is in no hurry.
Whether under official instructions
or not, Germans in Vichy state
freely that Germanys immediate
aim is not so much an invasion of
the British Isles, now, as the intense
weakening of British resistance by
cutting lines of supplies and by
heavy bombing of the British citadel.

Legislators Welcome
Mediation Board, but
Some Still Favor Law
Fact Thot Production
Can Stop First Is Seen
As Weak Spot in Plan
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Appointment by President Roose-
welt of the new Mediation Board to
seek industrial peace in the national
defense program was welcomed to-
day as move in the right direction
by members of Congress who have
been aroused over the strike situa-
ton, but some of them still insisted
that legislation was necessary to deal
effectively with work stoppages.
The House Judiciary Committee, it
was reported, has by no means given
up the idea of reporting out bill
to curb strikes in defense industries.
For several weeks it has been con-
Quoting hearings on the strike situa-
ton as it relates particularly to
national defense contracts, and has
amassed a great deal of information.
1t is understood that an effort to
draft bill and report it to the
House may be made within few
days:
Congress has already given the
President power to take over plants
and operate them if and when it
becomes necessary to do so in getting
out national defense orders. This
has been regarded more as a threat
to industrial management than to
labor-although if the Government
enters on the operation of plants
labor may find itself in a hot spot,
particularly if strikes delay produc-
ton of essential armament.
Law Might Strengthen Board.
Many members of Congress are
ready to put through a law en-
abling the President to deal effec-
lively in the matter of defense
strikes. There is a. feeling that if
such measure is drafted and placed
on the House calendar, ready for
action, 1t may strengthen the arm
of the new Mediation Board, which
is about to have dumped into its
lap several strikes on defense prof.
ects that have stubbornly resisted
StlGleiIleIlt.
While many members of Congress
were inclined to wait and see what
effect the Mediation Board has, be-
fore expressing opinions about it,
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia issued statement in which
he predicted that a board without
power to act" will not accomplish
the settlement of strikes.
Under conditions confronting
this country today" he said, strikes
in vital war industries must be
stopped, and stopped quickly"
Work Stops Before Board Acts.
A defect in the Mediation Board
as an effective discourager of strikes
lies in the fact that it does not get
to work on these industrial conflicts
until work has stopped and the
Secretary Of Labor has turned the
job Of getting a settlement over to
the board. Members of Congress are
urging strongly that law be passed
which will prevent strikes in de-
fense plants while efforts are being

Aim in Reconsideration,
Attorney ExpIoins

Opposition to the application of
Paul D. Taggart. attorney for Albert
L. Rodgers, owner, asking for re-
classification from residential A to
commercial D of lots 13 and IA, block
2, E. Brooks Lees subdivision to
Silver Spring. was voiced by num-
Der of rex ients or the area at
hearing ye-terday at the County
Building in Silver Spring.
William F. McKenna, attorney
acted as spokesman for the op-
ponents. He challenged the pro-
priety of the advertisement of the
hearing. declaring the notice re-
ferred to streets which do not now
exist.
Mr.. McKenna said the property is
in an area surrounded on all sides by
residences and that covenants run
ming with the land stipulate that 1t
be used for homes exclusively. He
presented a petition signed by 80
names asking the commissioners to
deny the application.
Off Street Parking Planned.
Others who spoke against the pro-
posed rezoning were Mrs. Joseph
Steckline. Robert Freund, Mrs. c. c.
Jones and Mrs. L. C. Leasure.
Speaking in behalf of the recon-
ing. Mr.. Taggart denied that the site
is to be used for the parking of
refuse trucks. but said it would be
used for general off-street parking
He said that the old street names
used in the advertisement are on
the plat on record and still on the
street corners.
Mr.. Taggart contended the resi-
Dental section in that area is sur
rounded almost entirely by apart
ment, industrial and commercial
zoning, and eventually will all be in
that classification.
Other Hearings Held.
The commissioners also held a
hearing in Silver Spring on the ap-
plication of Kenneth w. and Celia

classification from residential A to
