Fuller pointed to recent Gallup polls
purporting to show that the public
is opposed to the closed shop and to
defense strikes, and observed: "This
significant concurrence in thinking by
the public should encourage all en-
ployers to uphold such principles in
the conduct of their own employee re-

Expressing the attitude Of business

The NAM. head complained that
civil authorities no longer crack down
on labor as vigorously as in the good
old days, view that found no con-
firmation in labor circles.
"The national labor relations act,
the Norris-LaGuardia anti-injunction
act and even the antitrust laws have
placed such restriction upon applica-
ton of civil law to labor unions that
local authorities hesitate even to en-
force ordinances against mass picket
ing and violence which exist in most
communities, but which largely have
been forgotten through disuse," he
said.

than twice as much as the farmer
actually did receive.
In 1910 the farmers received a net
income Of 2O0,OO0,O00 Thirty years

net income of $4,000, 100000. In the

TWO YOUNG NAVAL
 OFFICERS TRIED
Before Court Martial for Killing Women While
 Doing Stunts

Pensacola, Fla, May 19--(Up)-- Two young naval officers were called before a court martial today, charged with decapitating a farm woman while stunting their service airplane.
 Not only their naval careers but their liberty were at stake. The court. comprised of seven officers, may sentence them to as much as 10 years in 6 federal prison for manslaughter. Or they could be denoted and diShonorably dis- charged from the service.
 The men are Ensign J. E. Tllomp. son 20, of Heraldsburg, Cal, and Ensign Paul Brown, 27, of Chicago.
 Authorities of Baldwin county, Alabama, where Mrs. Robert Phil- lips was decapitated in a turnip field March 25, said that l. the off, cers were acquitted by the military court, they would be tried in the Alabama civil courts.
 Commander Charles A. Nichol- son, president of the court, called 20 witnesses from Baldwin county who saw a naval training plane swoop down repeatedly at a group of farm workers in the turnip field. The witnesses thought the flyers were attempting to scare the farm CTS. Each time the plane swooped down, the men and women on the ground flung themselves in panic onto the ground. On the last swoop, Mrs. Phillips stayed on her feet. A wing of the plane severed her head.
 Thompson, e graduate of the University of California, and Brown, @ graduate of the University of Chicago, were appointed to the Navy to become flying officers and were assigned to the local naval air training station as cadets. They have been under military arrest since acknowledging that it was their plane which killed Mrs. Phil- lips.

 Places Tonight

Boston, May 20 - (U.P) - The appearance of Leopold Stokowski to conduct his all-American youth or- chestra here tonight developed into 6 discordant symphony of legal acc ton involving contracts and Q pos- sible injunction.
 All that emerged from c closed conference that lasted until after midnight were conflicting an. nouncements that the concert would be held at Boston Garden, as orig finally planned, and at Boston Opera House. Newspapers carried adver- tisements naming both places as the concert hall.
 The fiaxen-haired Stokowsld re. rnained up long after bedtime, and his manager, Michael Meyerberg, is- sued Q statement saying the concert would be held at the opera house.
 Harry E. Burroughs, president of the sponsoring Burroughs News boys Foundation, countered with Q declaration that the concert would be staged ct the Garden.
 The controversy involved a dis. pute over guarantees. Stokowski re- portedly wanted Q flat $6,000 guar antee on threat of moving to the opera house. The Burroughs group purportedly favored . percentage basis.
 Counsel for the foundation said he was prepared to seek Q superior court injunction to prevent Stokow- ski from conducting at the opera house. Stokowskis representatives merely decided to hire newspaper space to inform music lovers that the scene had been changed from the sports arena to the opera house,
