23S on Winnipeg Reach
n. Y; Deny Ship Had Nazis
Nv the Associated Press.

by inc kSSCClAteu STeeSs
NEW YORK, June i3.-The Alcoa
liner Evangeline arrived today from
Trinidad with 238 of the ISL pas
sengers who were aboard the French
ship Winnipeg May rs when the
Dutch warship Van Kinsbergen took
the vessel into custody as it neared
Martinique.
They said they were only three
hours from Trinidad after a 26-day
run from Marseilles via Casablanca
and Dakar when the warship fired
q shot across the Winnipeg's bow
and sent a party of 40 men aboard
to take the ship to Trinidad.
Food was low, but the ship had
plenty of champagne as the pas
sengers celebrated their arrival at
Martinique. The ship was built to
carry 80 and the voyage had been
a nightmare, they said
Original reports said 210 Nazis
were on the ship en- route to Mar
Unique, but passengers said not a
Nazi had been found by the British
at Trinidad. They said the Ger
mans aboard were Jewish refugees
fleeing the Nazis.
One Of the passengers was Lysiane
Bernhard, granddaughter of Actress
Sarah Bernhardt. She said she ex-
pected to live with friends in Bev-
erley Hills, Calf.

members contended the revised pro-
posal of Senator Connally, Demo-
crat, Of Texas went too far. Others
claimed that it had been weak
ened" by amendments before the
Senate finally passed it by 67-to-7
vote.
The property seizure legislation
was included in a bill sent the
House authorizing the President to
defer from active military training
those selective service registrants
who reach their 2Sth birthday BY
July Of this or subsequent years
without having been indicted into
the armed forces.
As passed by the Senate. the
proposal would give the President
statutory authority to take over
defense plants or those capable
of being converted for such opera
ton if production was tied up or
threatened by a strike, lockout, or
any other cause.

ders production at the plants re-

sized, however, that the Harness

In the case of employers who re-

ton and mediation facilities, the
committee recommended that such
refusal be construed as refusal to

Whole Radio Industry
Favors Control Law
Probe, Senators Told
Commissioner Craven
Says F. T. c. Exceeded Its
Power in Chain Ruling
Earlier story on Page Alloy
Ry j. A. OLEARY.

The radio industry is virtually
unanimous in wanting Congress to
review the existing radio control
law, Mark Ethridge, former presi-
dent of the National Association of
Broadcasters and general manager
of a Louisville station, told the Sen
ate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee this afternoon.
He followed Comdr. T. A. M.
Craven a member OF the F. G. G.
who also urged revision of the law,
contending the commission exceeded
its authority in its new chain broad
casting rules.
Mr.. Ethridge said this is the only
recent case in which an industry has
come to Congress asking for an
investigation.
Democratic Process Urged.
The industry, he said, might not
like the final result, but the process
would be more democratic If 96 Sen
ators and 435 members of the House
pass on the principles OF chain
broadcaSting.
The question of newspaper owner
ship of radio stations is one Con-
gress should decide, Commissioner
Craven told the committee.
Comdr. Craven was one of the
dissenting members in the recent
5-to-2 decision on the adoption OF
new chain broadcasting rules, which
the Senate committee is inquiring
into. Newspaper ownership was not
involved in those rules, but the
commission has announced future
hearings on that subject. and Sena-
tor Stewart, Democrat, of Tennessee
asked the Commissioner if he had
any recommendation on the ques-
ito nof newspaper ownership.
SAYS Authority Was Exceeded.
Comdr. Craven earlier in the day
contended the Commission exceeded
It's authority in the scope covered
by the new chain broadcasting
rules.
Chairman Wheeler of the COM
mittee and Senator Tobey. Repub-
lican, of New Hampshire joined this
afternoon in questioning officials OF
the three major chains-N. B. c.,
Columbia and Mutual-as to what
efforts they make to give radio
audiences both sides of the issue Of
Intervention or isolation in the
war.
Chairman Wheeler pointed to the
National Radio Forum, arranged by
The Washington Star, as one Of the
discussion programs that tries to
put on both sides" of public ques-
tons.
They put on one side one week,
and the other side another week."
Senator Wheeler observed.

Keck revealed today that during the
last week Dietrict police have ques-
toned five 'teen-age youths in con-
nection with the fatal smuggling here

refugee, on the night of May 5.
Three of the youths were ar
rested in Georgetown, S. c.. and the
, other two, seized in New Jersey
city, were brought back by Washing
ton police.
Capt. Keck said police still are

the youths deny they ever had seen
Or. Simon or have any knowledge
concerning the murder. All of them
left the city, according to their con-
LESSONS. the morning after the Ger
man was slain.
Admitted Being in Neighborhood.
The boys admitted, Capt. Keck
reported, that on the night of May
3 they were near Seventeenth and
p streets NV, two blocks from the
point where DR.. Simon was picked
up by cab driver after he had been
slugged and robbed. They said they
went there, he added, because they
knew two cabs were parked in a
vacant lot at that address all night.
He quoted them as saying that
two OF their number stole one of
the cabs, drove down the street,
picked up three passengers for short
hauls. and made s116. Returning
to the lot, where the other three
waited in the second cab, he further
reported, they all got in one vehicle
and drove out to a sandwich shop
and spent the money.
Feared Being Sent to Institutions.
After eating, according to Capt.
Keck, they went back to the lot and
slept in the two machines. At dawn
he said they admitted, three of them
stole an automobile and headed for
South Carolina, while the other two
went in the direction of New Jersey.
Capt. Keck quoted them as say
ing they left the city for fear of
being picked up as delinquents and
sent to institutions. Two of them
now are being held at the Receiving
Home, one at the National Training
School and two at the Home Indus

Special Rules to Speed
Two Civil Service Bills

The House Rules Committee today
granted special rules to speed con-
sideration Of two civil service meas
ures sponsored by Chairman Rams
peck of the Civil Service Committee.
One of these bills provides for
setting up a uniform system OF reg
ular automatic pay increases. eff
fective throughout all branches Of
the Government services, at regular
intervals. Now pay increases are
made in some agencies when funds
become available, but throughout
the civil service system generally
these regular setups in pay cam
not be made because appropriations
are lacking.
The special rule provides for two
hours debate on this measure.
The other bill, on which the rule
provides for one hour OF debate, is
to extend the classified civil service
to include postmasters Of hrst, sec
ond and third class of1ces.

Ship Hold Sports Arms,
Chemicals, No Munitions

NEW YORK, June Is dP.-The
torpedoed American freighter Robin
Moor carried 5,263 tons of cargo
consisting of several thousand items
ranging from brassieres to steel
rails, the Robin Line said today
when it called q press conference to
"let the people know the ship did
not carry munitions or other war
materials"
The line got permission from the
State Department to allow reporters
to examine the ships manifest and
q preliminary examination showed
that the only firearms aboard were
one case OF .22-caliber rifles without
ammunition and 10 cases OF low
gauge shotgun shells, consigned to
a sporting goods store in Johannes
burg, South Africa.
Other materials listed were dresses,
autos and steel rails.
Line ofiicials said the nearest port
the ship touched to the Red Sea was
Lourenco Marques. Portuguese East
Africa. 5000 miles from the Red Sea-.
They said none of the cargo was
marked for transshipment to Egypt.
They said there were some chem
icals of an unidentified type on the
ship and that they were attempting
to discover for what they were used.

many had presented any territorial
or economic demands to Russia.
AS for Russian troop movements,
the statement declared that ma
neuvers now under way or forth
coming have no other purpose than
the training of reservists and check
ing Of the work Of the railroad Or
ganization."
II listed the rumors as:
l. Germany allegedly presented
10 the U. S. S. r. claims of ter
ritorial and economic nature and
negotiations are now under way
between Germany and the U. S. S. r..
concerning conclusion Of a new,
closer agreement between them"
2. THE U. S. S. r. declined these
claims, IN consequence OF which
Germany began concentrating her
troops at the borders of the u. S.
8. r. for the purpose OF attacking
the U. S. S. r."
5. The Soviet Union on its part
allegedly began intense prepare
tions for war with Germany and
concentrating troops at the latter's
borders"
The radio said responsible Mos
COW quarters" had been required
by the persistence of this talk to
authorize Tass to state that these
rumors constitute clumsily con-
cocted propaganda of forces hos
tile to the u. S. S. r. and Germany
and interested in further extern
sion and unleashing Of the war.
The the statement gave, point by
point, this elaborate denial:
|. Germany did not present any
claims to the U. S. 8. r. and does
not propose any new, closer agree
nent, in view of which no negotia-
lions on this subject could have
taken place"
q. According to information at
the disposal of the q. S. S. r., Ger
many abides by the provisions OF
the Soviet-German pact OF non
aggression as unswervingly as the
Soviet Union, in view of which, in
the opinion of Soviet quarters. ru-
mors of Germanyis intention to dis
rupt the pact and undertake an at
tack on the U. S. S. r. are devoid
of any ground, whereas dispatching
of German troops, relieved from
operations in the Balkans. to east
ern and northeastern district OF
Germany, which is now taking place,
is connected, it should be assumed,
with other motives having no bear
Ing on Soviet German relations"
5. THE U. S. S. R., as follows
from its peace policy, has abided
ana intends to abide by provisions
of the Soviet-German non-aggres-
sion pact and rumors to the effect
that the U. S. S. r. is preparing for
war with Germany are false and
provocational."

other purpose than the training OF
