"No lsolationists' in A. FL, Green
Tells Cheering Convention; Ready to
Back Roosevelt Policy to Bitter End
"Obvious Gaps" Charged

at is now clear that we need to ex-
tend that principle to protect all work
ers in more comprehensive national
program of social insurance. Today
from Is to 20 million wage earners
are not protected by retirement sys-
TENS and even more are without un-
employment compensation rights.
Even those who are covered are
handicapped by obvious gaps in the
insurance program. One of the most
serious of these is the absence of any
provision for disability insurance. If
worker is laid off he may get unem-
ployment compensation; if he loses his
job because his health is bad he has
no claim on the compensation com
mission, despite his even more urgent
need of income then"
The council declared that it is es-
sential to conserve manpower by main
tanning decent living standards de-
spite emergencies which otherwise
might leave family destitute and
goes on to say:
eve recommend tha Congress
amend the Social Security Act to pro-
vide single pooled fund out of which
payments for unemployment compen-
sation as we'll as old age and surviv-
ors' insurance benefits, and temporary
and permanent disability insurance
benefits will be made, as well as sup
Elementary payments for medical care
and disqualification to enable workers
and their families to get the attention
they need but which is now beyond
their financial reach.

For Broadening Coverage

eve recommend further that this
protection be widely extended to the
millions of workers who now lack So
cial security. Special provisions should
be included to preserve and insure the
extension of social insurance rights to
workers who are taking their part in
defense Of the nation whether in mill
tary or civilian service"

told the delegates, "to meet at any

Aid for Russia Approved
The council urged the nation to con-
tinue giving all possible aid to Great
Britain until Hitler and his allies are
decisively defeated" 1t called "un-
thinkable" any close alliance with
Soviet Russia but said help should be
given the Russians for practical rea-

pretense that the United States and
Soviet Russia are friends or can be

A Baltimore " Ohio passenger
train bound for Chicago was held
up for nearly half an hour on its
way out of Washington last night
as postal clerks and police battled
muscular white man who. police
said, forced his way into the mail
car.
The intruder gave his name as
Strother Travis Brown. 40. of Sperrv-
vile. Va. Suffering a possible skull
fracture after his fight. he was held
under guard in Casualty Hospital
today for postal authorities.
Mail Clerks Stop Train.
The man crawled in the mail car
door Just as the train was pulling
out of Union Station, according to
information received by Postal In
, spector George T. Bleakley. Mail
clerks pulled the emergency cord to
stop the train when the intruder
refused to jump out, Inspector
Bleaklev said he understood.
Word of a train robbery" was
flashed to police. who dispatched a
dozen scout cars and motorcycle Of
f1cers TO lexington yards, where the
train halted.
The five postal clerks were lust
holding their own with Brown when
Policeman A. j. KaskeSki of the
trafflc division and NJ M. Booth of
the railroads special police. arrived
Browns injuries were received when
ne resisted arrest" according to po-
lice. and Inspector Bleaklev reported
the man continued his resistance all
the way to the hospital in a patrol
wagon from precinct No. II.

vance no explanation for his ap-
pearance on the Chicago train. and
said he could remember no fighting.
He said he had not been drinking.
/ Brown was unarmed. according TO
Special Policeman Booth. Inspector
Bleaklev said his story was partially
borne out by the fact that at the
end OF the disturbance he still
clutched in his fist a ticket for Gull

do that thing. declared it would be
unwise. He pointed out that there
are 100000 men and women who
have come here from other States to
work for the Government and who
retain legal residences in the States.
Il don't see how local govern
ment could be expected to levy taxes
on these people" said Mr.. Summers.
"A local government set up in the
District of Columbia would bring all
kinds of complications. In addition
to having to govern thousands of
people who still consider themselves
citizens of the States, it would be
confronted with the large holdings
of property in the District by the
Federal Government"
Mr.. Summers said. on the other
hand, representation in Congress of
the people who live in the District
would be valuable both to the people
and to the Congress.

mendation that it be Indefinitely

ners at all in his support OF the
measure.
We have here this territory. in
which a great many people live" said
Mr.. Summers. While the Constitu
ton gives the Federal Government
exclusive jurisdiction over 1t. 1t also
places a responsibility on the Fed
eral Government. When you con-
slider the general philosophy Of our
Government. that it should be a
Government with the consent of the
people. and that there can be no
just Government otherwise, you cam
not decide otherwise.
While recognizing that this ter
ritory is set aside as Federal dis
trict. as a place for workshop OF
the Federal Government, and the
Federal interests must always be
considered as of first importance and
completely dominated, 1t seems TO
follow without any question on earth
that it is the duty of Congress to
give to these citizens whatever right
to speak. the voice of free people, in
this Government which would not
interfere with the Federal control
of the District. and especially to

Congress Control Stressed.
This should be so with the con-
dition always attached that if any
attempt to do that thing tunder the
proposed constitutional amendment
should prove to be not satisfactory
from any angle and to be detrimen-
tai to the Federal interests. Con-
gress is left with the power to mod
ify or repeal the whole thing.
In a sentence, this amendment to

be nothing more than an enabling
act, comforting no right directly

conferring power upon the Congress
in connection with the discharge of
its constitutional duties. a power
which would have been incorporated
in the original Constitution if the
trainers OF that document had fere-
seen the present need.
The proposed amendment to the
Constitution does not create a State
out of the District of Columbia.
That could not be, unless you failed
to leave in the hands of Congress
the power to change or to put back
the status of the District. The
amendment merely confers a power

AXIS PROTESTS
 TO BE REJECTED
U. s. Govt. Has Decided to Rule Against Both Ger
 many and Italy

Washington, April &(UP)-The United States has decided to reject formally the German and Italian protests against the seizure of 30 of their ships in American harbors. Secretary of State Cordell Hull said today.
 The American reply, which will reject the Axis demands for release of the ships and their SIS crew members, is now being formulated. It may be delivered to the Italian and German embassies here soon.
 There had been no thought of yielding to any of the Axis demands. The Attorney General instructed U. 8. Attorneys to proceed with prose- ecution of masters and crew mem- bers responsible for sabotage that was carried out on most of the ships. This may clear the way legal iy for the United States to requisi- ton the ships.
 The only question in the state departments mind had been wheth- CT to make any formal answer at all to the Axis notes.
 The reply, together with the notes of protestf may be made public. Hull said, but the two embassies will Do consulted before this Is done.
 Hull reiterated previous assertions that there was no question of the legality of the scizires.

(United Press Steff CorfeSp0n0ent)
 Washington, April ?. - (UP) - President Roosevelt today referred to interested government agencies an ap- peal from Governor Julius P. Hell of Wisconsin for further federal intervention in the Allis- Chalmers strikes. The Pregident repeated, through his secretary, that existing federal mediation machinery will be given fair test before any govern ment intervention Is ordered.
 Secretary stephen T. Early, speaking for the President, said that contrary to some impressions, Gov. Hell has made no request to the White House for federal troops.
 Early pointed out that MT. Roose- welt could not dispatch troops, even if he were disposed to do so, with out Q formal request from the gov- ernor.
 FIeii, 1t was understood, has for- warded Q request for federal troops to ieadquarters of the Sixth Corps Area ct Chicago, but Early said that the troop request had not been for- Wardcd to the White House from sixth Corps headquarters.
 Out of Control
 fIeil's telegram to MT. Roosevelt informed the President that "the situation is absolutely out of con- trol of all peace officers available" and asked MT. Roosevelt to take whatever measures seemed neces- sary.
 Early, however, made 1t clear that MT. Roosevelt still hopes that the Allis- Chalmers stalemate can be broken by existing conciliation and mediation machinery.

 BILL IS PASSED
Senate Suspends Rules to Get Aid for Dependent
 Children

Hartford, Conn, April 2-(UP)- The Senate suspended the rules today to unanimously pass Q bill allowing the state to receive an annual grant of $i,000,000 from the federal government as aid to de- pendent children.
 The bill repeals the widows aid statute, under which 3,100 children received state benefits and lifts 8 restriction against aliens. It was estimated 12,000 children would come under the new law.
 "This bill brings Connecticut into line with all but seven other states" said Governor Hurley, who listed the measure as one of the must" bills of the session.
 As result of the larger amount of money to be made available for this type of relief, he said it was probable "a great many of those children in county homes will now be put into private homes."
 The total cost of the program will be $2,600,000 a year, toward which towns will pay $800,0 900 and the state a similar amount.
