Smith Opposed to
RevisiOns of
Act

Washington, Oct. 4-INS- The
virtual solid South support of
President Roosevelt's foreign pro
gram in the Senate was broken to-
day when veteran Sen. Cotton
Ed Smith Cd S. c., assailed pro
rosals to revise the Neutrality Act.
Meantime Mr. Roosevelt, who
on more than one occasion has crit
icized the law, was reported unde-
cided whether to merely ask au-
thority to arm ships or to also ask
revision that would permit Amer.
lean merchant ships to carry arms
to England.
at is a dangerous thing to fool
with at this time" said Sen. Smith
discussing the Neutrality Act.
Repeal or revision would get us
into war-that's why they are ask
ing for it. 1t is Just an open invi-
tation to get us into war"
The South Carolina Senator also
scoffed at Mr.. Roosevelt's' efforts
to win religious freedom in Rus
STA. He caustically observed that
the President sent w. Averell Har-
riman to Russia to convert the
brethren" but that he would fail.
While the President was said
to be undecided as to the form of
Neutrality Act which may
be decided at a White House con
ference next Tuesday-most ad-
ministration senators proposed that
both arming of ships and repeal
OF combat zones be considered.
Senatorial friends and foes OF
Mr. Roosevelt's foreign policy
clashed on the question of whether
the non-intervention cause IS slip

Wins in
Union Revolt

Hazleton. Pa, oct 4-AP-John
l.. Lewis appeared today to have
put down a rank and file revolt by
some $4,000 of his United Mine
Workers in Pennsylvania sprawl
ing anthracite fields.
His personal appeal for return to
work of miners striking against
increased dues and assessments
brought immediate affirmative az
ton from "a of Al locals in the
unions Hazelton district seven
where the revolt conferred.
A membership OF 11.071 is repro
scented by units approving return
to the mines Monday. Four locals
with 2.34S members rejected the
plea while three others with a
membership OF 1854 delayed their
vote.
Thus, apparently, was ended the
work stoppage which kept more
than $4,000 idle in district seven
nearly a month at peak of the sum
mer rush season. Some 10000 dig
gers in the two other districts OF
the anthracite fields Joined the
revolt from time 10 time but most

Washington, oct. 4-AP-A warn
ing that "inflationary tendencies
had already appeared in prices Of
some commodities was sounded to-
day in a survey by government
economists.
This is a time when only the IN
informed are positive about any
thing concerning prices, the Blu
reau of Agricultural Economics
said in forecasting that the gen
eral level OF prices was expected
to advance during the next IL
months.
The warning was included in a
survey Of economic conditions
made for the benefit Of the cotton
industry and cotton farmers.
The government experts said
that gains in prices Of many com
modities could be attributed ITO
developments such as the rise Of
industrial activity and consumer
incomes, actual and anticipated
shortages Of some industrial good
increased government loan values
on basic farm products. the food
for-defense program and higher
costs OF importing many important
raw materials obtained from
abroad"
However. the economists said
that some recent price advances
were of different character
and appeared TO be largely a re
suit OF speculative activity based
on the increasingly widespread be-
lief among business men and con
sumers that prices will rise sharply
during this war as N past ones. 70
