Russia S Pledge 10 Turkey
Satisfying WeIIes SAYS

RusSia's pledge to maintain her
comprehensive neutrality if Turkey
should be attacked is a matter OF
satisfaction to the United States,
Acting Secretary of State Welles said
today.
He also told his press conference,
when asked if this Government had
taken any diplomatic steps to pre-
vent Yukoslavia from joining tbs
axis. that the United States had lost
no opportunity to make known to
other governments its earnest hope
that the integrity and sovereignty
of all independent countries would
be respected.
MI. .Welles called attention to mes
SageS sent other powers by Mr..
Roosevelt as far back as the spring
of 1889 expressing hope for respect
of the automy of all independent
nations. He emphasized that this
continues to be the policy of this
Government.
In view of this policy, it is matter
of satisfaction to this country when
great power like the Soviet Union
reaffirms its intention of maintain
ing what it terms its "comprehen-
sive neutrality" in event a neigh
boring country were to suffer attack,
Mr.. Welles said.
This comment was in response to
inquiries about the Government
attitude toward Russia's reaffrma-
ton to Turkey that she would main
tain neutrality If Turkey found
herself obliged TO enter war for tbs
defense of her territory"

Yugos|avian Funds

Tied Up Shortly After
Signing Of Axis Pact

By tie Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today froze all
funds of Yugoslavia in the United
States.
This was announced at the Treas
ury shortly after YugoSlavia signed
the Rome Berlin Toxic axis pact.
No explanation of the freezing was
given, but it has been the policy of
the administration to tie up the
funds of any country coming under
the domination of the axis powers.
The action prohibited use or re-
moval of any Yugoslavian cash, Sc
surities or other movable assets in
this country. Commerce Depart
ment experts estimated such assets
totaled s1,000000.
Yugoslavia was the thirteenth ma
ton whose funds have been frozen.
The other nations have about S4.-
5000 100000 worth of assets here.
They are Norway, Denmark, France,
Belgium, the Netherlands, -LuXem-

Distressed Mother
Asphyxiates Self and
Ai|ing Child in Night
Wife and Daughter, 10, Of
Auto Club Official Found
Dead in Sleeping Gorb

How a mother, distressed by an
ailment of her child brought the
little girl into the kitchen early
today, arranged her on some tables
and turned on the gas was re-
vealed this morning when the bodies
were found in their seventh-floor
apartment at the Broadmoor at
3601 Connecticut avenue NV.
The tragedy was termed murder
and suicide after the coroner's
Office investigated the deaths of Mrs.
Marguerite Jenkins, 40 and her 10
year-old daughter, Mary Ann. The
father, Elmer, director of the Ma
tional Touring Bureau, A. A. A., was
away on business at the time.
Some one smelled escaping gas
shortly after 7 am. in the big
apartment building. occupied by
moderately well-to-do families. An
investigation was started and the
mother and child were found in the
kitchen. They were pronounced
dead by DIR. Elizabeth Chickering of
the same address. Coroner A. Ma
gruder Macdonald said they had
been dead since o'clock this
morning.
Two Notes Left.
The child lay on the kitchen
floor alongside some bridge tables
which had been pushed together,
presumably as a place for her to
lie when she was brought from the
bedroom. Both were dressed in
night clothing, as if they had been
aroused after they retired. The
jets in the kitchen range had been
opened.
There were two notes, one sealed
and directed to Mr. Jenkins and
another to police, who were asked
that news of the tragedy be with
held as long as possible from Mrs.
jenkins mother, an elderly resident
of Washington said to be in failing
health.
Injured Foot Mentioned.
One of the notes, DR.. Macdonald
said, made reference to Mrs. Jen-
kins' worrying about her daughters
injured foot.
Coroner Macdonald said his pre-
liminary examination disclosed there
was no "very great" injury to the
child's foot, although the girl might
have had some lesser ailment not
apparent.
He said it was possible the mother
had worried over an exaggerated
conception of the ailment.
The note to police said in part,
'Urder no circumstances notify my
mother, for my husband will be in
at 7:30 or $50 O'Clock. Call Metro
politan 4000," which is the Office
number of Mr.. jenkins. The latter
had been on a business trip to North
Carolina
He went directly to the Office this
morning on arriving in Washington,
it was said, and knew nothing of
the tragedy until telephoned at the
omca.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. March 25.-An
appeal for help of the Pennsylvania
State police was made today amid
clashes between pickets and Local
police who once used tear gas in a
strike called by the c. I. o. Steel
Workers Organizing Committee at
the Bethlehem Steel Co. plant.
AS moves for possible settlement
were made in two directions here,
Gov. Arthur H. James dispatched
Commissioner Lynn G. Adams, State
police head, from Harrisburg to
survey conditions"
The Governor acted after receiv-
ing a telegram from Sheriff w. CAL
vim Nickle which read:
IT will be unable to control Sltu-
alton with men at my disposal"
In his Office at nearby Easton
Sheriff Nickle said he had 25 deputies
on duty. % of them respectfully ap-
pointed" for the job.
Sheriff Nickle said assistance is
urgently needed. I believe there may
be some excitement when the shift
changes this afternoon between
and PM.
At a mass meeting this morning
strikers we're given instructions for
mass picketing at that time.
Meantime, amid conflicting claims
by union and company as to the
effectiveness of the walkout avoWed-
ly aimed at closing down the plant,
there were two developments in set
tlement efforts at this parent plant
of company with more than bill
lion dollars of defense contracts:
An afternoon conference at p IN.
was arranged between a Federal
conciliator, S. w o. C. officials, and
leaders of the Employees Representa-
ton Plan.
Howard Curtiss, district S. w. o. c..
head, announced four-point pro-
gram through which he said he
hoped for "early termination" of the
strike.
The walkout was called by the
S. w. o. C. at $50 pm Monday
because, Mr.. Curtiss charged. the
Employees Representation Plan be-
gan what he said was IAN illegal"
election. The S. w. o. c. claims
the E. R. P is company dominated
union.
Gov. James announced the State
Liquor Control Board ordered clos
ing all taprooms in the plant area.
r. A. Lewis, general manager of
the Bethlehem plant, declared:
"All steel making departments Of
the plant are operating substantially
at capacity. About 70 per cent of
the normal force is at work"
Lewis Says $500 Work.
After comforting with department
superintendents. Mr.. Lewis an
nounced that $500 of the 5000 nor
mally on the day shift were in the
mills.
Mr.. Curtiss said eventually 10000
men would be out. There are 81 900
employees here, $1,000 eligible for
union membership. The E. R. P,
however, claims $4,000 members.
Mr.. Curtiss asserted that less than
1000 of the usual shift of 5000
men were in the plant today and
added:
That number consists mainly of
maintenance men and production
could not be carried out"
Tear gas was used by city police
man to disperse pickets who throng-
ed around an automobile driven by a
company policeman as the car ap-
preached the main gate of the
sprawling plant while shifts were
changing at am.

Before Work Stops
BY JAMES FREE.

The National Defense Mediation
Board met here for the first time to-
day, announcing, in the words of its
chairman, that its obligation is to
help labor and management reach a
real agreement before production is
halted
Dr.. Clarence A. Dykstra, chairman
of the recently appointed ll-man
body, declared in statement before
the board went into an executive ses-
sion shortly before noon:
This is a time of world crisis. If
the United States is to be an arsenal
for democracy, there must be an un-
interrupted flow of production from
mine, mill and factory. No effort
toward such an objective can be too
great. 1t must not be that such
effort will be too small. Too little
and too late has spelled disaster in
too many places already
DR.. Dykstra stressed that the
board represents labor, industry and
the public. 1t will ask both labor
and management to settle disputes
around the conference table, thus
preventing Interruptions in the flow
of defense materials.
Urges Public Support.
This board" he declared, will
endeavor to deal promptly with every
situation which confronts it. In
our democracy public opinion is of
decisive importance. We hope the
public will rally behind the prin-
ciple upon which this board will
carry on-namely, that the public
welfare today requires each of us
to subordinate a purely private or
personal interest to the good of the
country and Its accepted public
policy.
I'VE shall endeavor to be impair
tial. completely honest and thor
oughly non-political. We shall give
out our findings as we see them.
We shall thus try to appeal Of the
sound sense and the good will Of
all true Americans"
The boards first problem this
morning was distribution of time
between the still photographers and
newsreel men present to picture the
initial conference.
Stillman and Tracy on Hand.
At one stage in the picture max
ing, cameraman shouted to
George M. Harrison, president of
the Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks and labor repre-
sentative on the board:
Please don't look so melancholy,
Mr.. Harrison. You are not at a
funeral"
Let's hopel" Mr.. Harrison replied.
