HalIeck, this column learns. The re
rport will be submitted in about a
month, and will be plenty hot" it Is
said.
The majority report was submitted
to the house a few days before the
last congress expired, which did not
give the minority members, Murdoch
(now United States senator) and
Healey, sufficient time to study 1t and
prepare a dissenting report.
To this day, Murdock and Healey
have been unable to obtain the ap-
pendizes and footnotes of the ma
| jority report, which is necessary
for purposes of study, although ef-
| forts have repeatedly been made to
obtain them. They have been with
drawn in the house and are with
| the Public Printer.
| The minority report will point out
that Smith, Routzohn, and Halleck
misrepresented statements made by
witnesses before the committee In
order to bolster their recommends
tions which, in effect, would destroy
the Wagner act. These misrepresen-
tations, the report will show, have all
the earmarks of having been delib-
crate, since some were set forth in the
majority intermediate report made
some months ago and at that time
called to the attention of the COM
mittee.
A case in point was the testimony
of certain NLRB regional director,
presented in both the majority inter.
mediate and final reports as having

Spiegel to secure the floor to
make a substitute motion that
the measure increasing the tax
on the production of the North
ern Pacific coal mines be
printed and placed on general
file for discussion failed as
Speaker Stromnes refused him
recognition though he was
clearly entitled to it. Signifi-
cantly, Floor Leader Byrne
and others charged with the
duty of orderly and fair pro-
cedure, failed to give Repre-
sentative Spiegel any support.
With seven different gambling bills
referred to the revenue and taxation
committee, this body has submitted
two committee bills which are sup
posed to contain all of the "good"
provisions of the seven. These bills
are now on general orders and are
scheduled as a special order of bust
ness at night session tonight (Wed-
nesday) when their respective merits
or demerits will be aired in debate by
proponents and opponents.
1t is anticipated that many who
would ordinarily be violently opposed
to licensing this racket, may vote for
them as the last chance to secure
some much needed revenue, having
become convinced that all other
sources have been exhausted and be-
cause of the apparent complete dom
ination of the assembly by the large
corporations of the state those inter
ests have attained the class of "un-
touchables."
Old Age Pensions
Today, increasing the appropria-
ton for the payment of old age pen
sions is up for discussion and since
a majority of the members OF the
lower house during their campaigns
for votes, definitely committed them
selves to see that they were increased,
it is probable that they will vote for
the increases with their tongues in
their cheeks, and the bill will pass.
1t is generally agreed, however, that
it amounts to little more than ges-
ture as the funds available lack the
element Of elasticity and cannot be
stretched This reality may have
direct bearing on the enactment OF
the bills legalizing gambling. How
ever, in the opinion of some of the
most realistic of the membership, the
probable revenue from licensing this
racket is over-estimated to a large
degree.
The old folks in the state should
remember to ask their representatives
sometime during the next two years
how it happened that revenue was not
sought from sources where there were
funds obtainable, such as through in

Anti-Labor Group Exerts
Pressure To Win Over FDR

Anti-Labor Group Exerts
Pressure To Win over FDR
Intense pressure, it is reported, is
being exerted from several sources on
the President in an effort to win
Administration support for some OF
the anti-labor legislation now pend
ing in congress. They are attempting
TO drive home to FDR the argument
that such legislation is in the inter-
est of national defense How far
are they getting with it?
This is what person very close
to the White House told this column
after an interview with the President
last week:
"The President is fully aware that
it was labor that elected him TO
office. and hei not going to go
hack ON labor under any circum-
stances. Also, he is convinced
that anti-labor legislation will IN
fure rather than aid the defense
nroeram. And he is not going to
play into the hands Of those critics
who say that, at the proper time, ne
will desert the worker and go over ;
to the big fellow"

Music Can Aid Democracy
Roosevelt Tells Club
Nv the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, June 18.-Music
can aid democracy's cause, President
Roosevelt declared in greeting to
delegates to the 22d biennial con-
ventfon and music festival OF the
National Federation of Music Clubs
which opens tonight.
The Presidents letter, made public
by Mrs. Vincent Hilles Ober OF Nor
folk, Va, head of the Federation
said:
To-day your organization can help
to lend the inspiration of great
music to great causes. 1t can help
to inspire a fervor for the spiritual
values in our way of life, and thus
10 strengthen democracy against
those forces which would subjugate
and enthrall mankind.
"It can help to promote heml-
spheric friendship and understand
ing by popularizing the music OF our
Latin American neighbors. 1t can
help promote tolerance of minority
groups in our midst by showing their
cultural contributions to our Amer
lean life.
Because music knows no barriers
of language; because 1t recognizes
no impediments to free intercom-
munication; because it speaks a
universal tongue, music can make
us all more vividly aware of that
common humanity which Is ours and
which shall one day unite the ma
lions of the world In one great
brotherhood"

Release depth charged"
The order came down from the
bridge of our lease-lend ship. The
English tar at the racks on the stern
pulled a plug, and the ash-can OF
death to submarines splashed into
the ocean.
We put on a burst of speed while
the bomb was finding the deep level
where it would burst automatically
/ from pressure. I braced myself for
an explosion.
I got the surprise of my life. I
heard a noise like a distant shot
gun firing in a foggy November
field. A sort of a BOOM" In a
minute or two I saw great area of
the ocean behind us suddenly f1atten
out, glisten in the sun. There was
shimmery, rapid vibration on the
surface, like heat waves, only faster
and mushier.
That was all.
"What?" I asked. mo explo-
sion?"
No" explained the officer at my
side. Not at that depth. Nor fish,
either"
He was looking over the side, OBJ
viously disappointed at bringing up
no fresh fish for supper.
Nor was there any submarine, for
we were just practicing with Amer
ican depth charges. Our senior
officer was putting our squadron
through the PAGES of submarine at
tack, our last drill before I was to
leave ship at an Eastern Canadian
port
I was glad of that for the crews
sake. I thought they needed re-
spite, even though they never seemed
to mind the pace. We had zig
Jagged ourselves seasick We had
signaled ourselves blue in the face.
We fired practice rounds frequently,
did 45-degree starboard turns.
"Your Women? Fresh"
Now we were about to get rest.
I went below, asked my cabin boy
to pack me up when he had a free
moment.
"Davey," I asked, what did you
like most about America on your
brief stay with us?"
THE big cities. They were fine.
Life seems to begin at midnight"
And how about our girls, Da-
vey?"
They're a bit fresh, don't you
think, sir?"
"Fresh?"
i've seen them roll their stockings
in the street, sir"
Davey was embarrassed.
He and the other lads who kept
the wardroom shipshape and fed
the crew obviously were tickled
pink with their American ship.
What impressed them most was
the gadgets.

creasing use had bearing on. the
recent lull in Nazi activity over Brit

Previous detectors were OF the

Neiqhborhood Watches to See
If Court CurtoiIs Barking

Residents in the 1900 block of
Park road NV, waited today to see
whether Judge Walter j. Casey's ad-
vice to the owners of five little terri
ers would produce results-peace
and quiet.
Three sisters, owners of the dogs
which neighbors say bark too much
for anybody's good, appeared in
Police Court yesterday to defend the
right of their pets to sound off like
any healthy dog.
Remarked Miss Violet Thorwarth,
the sister charged with permitting
barking dogs:
Its a very dull neighborhood.
You would think people would be
glad to hear little barking and
noise now and then. . = Some day
I'd like to make a little noise my
self"
At least three neighbors took a
different stand, however, when called
to testify.
DR.. Lyman F. Kebler, retired ply
sician who lives next door to the
sisters, said the dogs keep it up
from as early as $50 in the morning
until as late as II o'clock at night" :"
He said when one dog begins to bark
"the others follow, and there is
regular chorus"
Next to testify to the barking
ability of the five little terriers was
Francis McDermott of 1906 Park
road. He said he was employed at
night in the composing room of a
local newspaper, and sought day.
light hours for sleep and quiet.
1.-TWO or three times a week they
bark all morning, just when I'm
needing the sleep most" Mr.. Nc
Dermott told Judge Casey.
The third neighbor, Mrs. Jennie
N. Sunwall of 1926 Park road, ex-
planned she was practical nurse
and that she had sick patient
under her care at that address.
A second sister, Miss Laura Thor
warth, took the stand to tell the
Judge they had promised neighbors
to keep the dogs locked up from 10
o'clock at night until 8 am. Police
quoted the owners. as saying. they
had no control over the dogs bark
ing while the pets were out In the
yard.
