BY ire Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, April 16.-An-
nouncement that Raymond F. Reutt
of Norfolk, former football player
and wrestler, would fight extradi-
ton to Maryland was made today
in Police Court here when he was

would waive eXtradition, and Cor
don Campbell, defense attorney, re-
piled he would not. The case then
was ordered sent on to the Corpora
ton Court.
Mr.. Murphy was lost overheard
during a scuffle on the steamers

such a step, involving licensing Of
such organizations, should be at
tempted at present.
Mr.. Knox opposed a suggested
provision by Representative Mas
which would forbid strikes aimed
at compelling a closed shop.
John Green, president of the In
ternational Union of Marine and
Shipbuilding Workers of America
&C. I. o., strongly opposed the
Vinson bill, saying that his union
"resents" any implication that or
ganized workers ARE any less pa
triotic or any less devoted to the
welfare of the country and to its
military defense" than any other
group of citizens. He added:
I'VE object to the features of this
bill which would outlaw the insti-
tuition of the closed shop in plants
not now operating under this condi-
ton.
Oppose Cooling Off" Periods.
I'VE object to the various pro-
visions which would limit or nullify
the rights now guaranteed to labor
under the National Labor Relations
Act.
I'VE are likewise opposed to COM
pulsory arbitration and cooling-off
periods. Compulsory arbitration is
no better than rule by edict and a
limitation of the right to strike is
still a denial of fundamental right
even if it is only exercised for a
limited period"
Mr.. Green said that if it could
be shown that voluntary efforts to
obtain "co-operation' of labor
failed, then case might be made
out for compulsion and, indeed, for
dictatorship"
Representative Vinson read let
ter from w. c. flushing of the
American Federation of Labor S
Legislative Committee, which said
the Defense Mediation Board was
functioning in truly marvellous
fashion" and that the Vinson bill
was absolutely unnecessary"
Strikes Laid to Communists.
The House Military Affairs Com
mittee, meanwhile, met in closed
session to consider pending minor
bills after having obtained from
]. B. Matthews, Dies committee re-
search director, testimony on
charges that Communists have been
active in defense labor disputes.
Mr.. Matthews, whose statements
were repeatedly challenged by va
rious military committee members,
told the committee yesterday that
recent walkout at the International
Harvester Co. was 100 per cent
a Communist strike" that % of "a
members of the Vultee Aircraft
strike committee had Communist
connections and that Communist
leadership in the recent Ford Mo-
tor Co. strike was very strong"
He added that there were Com
munists among the leaders Of the
Allis- Chalmers and the Harvill Die
casting Co. walkouts.

The letter sent TO the secretar,
tof the navy by James Tillery, wh'
was graduated this month from
Occidental College, read as fol
lows;
81 am writing TO you as the
younger brother of a member of
the Inflated crew OF the out
NODDED submarine %. May L
express the gratitude OF my
family and myself for your con-
sideratiOn In appearing % miles
at sea off Portsmouth, y. H.,
and dropping floral wreath
into the water az a national
tribute TO the members OF the
ships crew:
However, Mr.. Knox. there
are some problems in connection
with this disaster which puzzle
me.
II would appreciate knowing
just why the parents and widows
OF the crew members were not
notified OF funeral services until
the day following the services.
or better still, perhaps you could
explain the reason for holding
the funeral services on Sunday
afternoon and declaring the VIC
Tins I'm the tragedy officially
dead on Monday morning.
ANOTHER QUESTION
another question In my mind
which might he clarified II just
why should a boat built to with
stand pressure at a depth OF 200
feet he ordered 10 submerge to
a reported depth Of 325 feet:
why should the ship have
been declared seaworthy and
given a deep submergence test
when on a previous effort IL had
developed 10 leaks under only
2 feet OF water:
perhaps you can explain the
logic behind ordering O-6 and
O-I0 TO resume duty when IL
was known that the % was I'm
4SS feet OF water and her sister
ships were constructed TO dive
only 200 feet.
1T bothers me to know that
the widows of ft least two MEM
bers OF the crew were forced 10
appeal TO the Red Cross for
transportation TO Los Angeles.
and that the Red Cross in its
turn appealed TO my grief
stricken mother.
GIFTS OVERSEAS
at il my understanding that
the government has sent equip
ment TO nations overseas. II IL
also my understanding that the
Red Cross has sent shiploads OF
supplies and fOodstuffs overseas.
There are numerous instances
OF elaborate spending in the de
tense drive.
with knowledge OF such
spending. perhaps YOU can ex-
plain, then, why funds were not
provided for transportation for
the widows and why the Red
Cross found II necessary TO APP
peal TO a bereayed mother.
aside from present informa-
ton which indicates the obsolete
90 apparently was ordered l25
feet deeper than IL was con-
structed TO dive, have YOU any
information a. TO the causes of
its collapse:
Perhaps YOU could clarity
these points. II not, II seems
entirely I'm order 10 ask that the
ship be raised and thorough
investigation be made.
PERSONAL PROBLEM
FINALLY. perhaps YOU can ex-
plain a personal problem for
me. Under conditions which now
exist, what can my outlook he

required 10 register on July /.
"Thirty-three men, including
my brother, are gone. When the

said that these men have not

No All-Round Substitute
Is Discovered for Mica

Despite years of research, no all
round substitute is yet in use for mica,
one of the vital war minerals in which
the United States recently was reported
to be deficient says bulletin from the
National Geographic Society. 'Inval-
liable as an electrical insulator in such
objects as fuse boxes, telephones, air.
plane spark plugs, electric light sockets,
magnetoS and radio condensers, mica
dramatically proved its qualities of re-
sistance and f1exibility during the World
War. Germany, then deprived of her
usual supplies, especially felt the lack
of it.
To-day industrial United States is the
largest consumer of this mineral. So
great are the Nations need that, al
though it also is the worlds largest
producer, the domestic sources are in
sufficient. Additional amounts, there
fore, are normally imported from abroad,
chiefly from British India and South
Africa.
With the present worldwide wars
which have rendered foreign sources
unstable. the long-studied question of
possible substitutes for mica in its chief
electrical uses Is again receiving atten-
ton"
