Asked to Study Needs
Here and Abroad
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

President Roosevelt late today
designated a three-man committee
to study coordination of private
relief solicitations and needs, do
mestic and foreign.
Invited to serve in this group
were Joseph E. Davies, former AM
bassador to Russia and Belgium:
Charles P. Taft. assistant co-ordi-
nator of health and welfare defense
activities, and DR.. Frederick P.
Keppel, president of the Carnegie
Corp. If New York City.
Designation of the committee was
made in response to a suggestion by
Secretary of State Hull that there
should be a study and recommen-
dationS made "aS 10 what steps
might be taken to preserve local and
essential welfare services, and TO
maintain a balance between the ia
cilities and resources available for
foreign war relief with particular
regard to the financing of new well
fare activities in connection with
national defense measures
Warns of Complexities.
In his letter to President Roose-
welt proposing examination of this
problem, the Secretary wrote:
The human suffering which has
been caused by the conflicts raging
in other portions of the world has
called forth the humanitarian
efforts of the American people. At
the same time needs at home have
continued to inspire similar
efforts to relieve human need in
this country. 1t seems likely that
these efforts will be increased by
the natural concern of our people
to provide in every way for the
young men who have been called
for military training.
In the field of foreign relief about
300 organizations, most of them of a
temporary nature, are now regis
tered with the Department of State
in order that they may solicit and
collect contributions. Here at home
local private welfare agencies are
continuing their efforts and must
continue to rely on public support.
We are also informed that some of
our people are planning to launch
campaigns to finance activities in
areas adjacent to military camps
established under the Selective Serv-
ice Act.
All of these efforts are inspired
by the finest human instincts. but
there is growing danger that they
may be frustrated if they are con-

CLEVELAND March 13 - The
aluminium utensil industry has been
told by the Defense Priorities Board
that "it Is out of business" the
chief of the defense contract serv-
ice of the Office of Production Man
agement said today.
Robert L. Mehornay told press
conference 60 members of the
Aluminium Utensils Manufacturers
Association were Informed in Wash
ington yesterday that they would
not be able to get any aluminium in
the future, but that they could use
the material they now have on hand.
The ban on manufacture of alum
mum pots and pans is the first
total" restriction since the defense
program started, Mr.. Mehornay
said. The utensil industry takes 10
per cent of normal aluminium pro-
duction.
21.O00 Workers Affected.
The ban will force 21,000 workers
in the aluminium kitchen utensll
field to make defense items or go
idle, Mr.. Mehornay said. expressing
belief airplane manufacturers would
turn over subcontracts to this branch
of industry.
In a speech to the American So
ciety of Mechanical Engineers, Mr..
Mehornay issued a warning that
ornaments produced too late would
be worse than useless, since they
might "be used by our adverSaries."
I'VE believe" Mr.. Mehornay said,
that materials produced in time
will be of use and of strategic value
to us and those which are produced
too late may be used by our adver-
saries." He did not elaborate.
At one point in his speech Mr..
Mehornay referred to industrial
financing and said 1T is my belief
that necessary finance for continu-
ing expansion of plants and ma

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 13-The Ma
tons bituminous operators today
rejected proposal of John L. Lewis
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America &C. I. o., that min
ing operations in the soft coal in
dustry run without interruption if
negotiations for new contract con-
tinued beyond the March 81 eXpira-
ton Of the present agreement.
Charles ONeill, spokesman for OPP
orators in the eight-State Appala-
chan area. said the operators were
forced to reject Mr. Lewis proposal
because the no-work -stoppage plan
stipulated that any increases in
wages or improvement in working
conditions which might later be
agreed upon should become retro
active from April l.
Charges Bad Faith.
Mr.. Lewis had made his proposal
for continuing work after repre-
sentatives of the miners and oper-
ators had reached a temporary i'm
passe in their contract negotiations.
Mr. ONeill declared that Mr..
Lewis did not offer the resolution
in good faith, was attempting to
make favorable impression on pub
lie opinion, and actually was put
ting the conference in a position for
Mr.. Lewis to filibuster it.
The retroactive stipulation, Mr..
ONeill said. could place upon the
operators contingent liability
which might, he said, run into mil
lions of dollars
Denies Filibustering Intent.
Mr.. Lewis answered that the reso-
luton was not intended to be a
f1libustering implement, and that
the miners had believed they were
making public contribution by
offering a guaranty that there is
no necessity for closing the mines
on April l.
The operators, Mr.. Lewis added
could avoid any contingent liability
at any time by moving in the con-
ference that further negotiations
were futile and asking that the joint
conference be discontinued.
The conference then went into
session to pick four committeeman
from each side to handle the nego-
tiations.

OF u. S. Citizen
Earlier Story on Page A-s.)


By the Associated Press.
The United States Government
apparently failed today in its effort
to save from a Spanish firing squad
a man who claimed he was born in
Hawaii and was thus an American
citizen.
While the State Department was
investigating the birth claim, adj
vices reached here that Spanish mil
itary authorities had refused to stay
the execution of Victoriano Carpas
Ramirez at Malaga.
The decision came as officials here
awaited further information from
Andrew CorteS, a ship worker, TO
support his belief that Mr.. Ramirez
was his half-brother, born in Ha-
wall.
Mr.. Ramirez was accused of killing
a civil guard at Malaga. Spanish
military authorities, in refusing to
postpone the execution until the
State Departments investigation
was completed, said that both par
ents of Mr.. Ramirez we're Spanish
and they we're satisfied of his own
Spanish citizenship.
