u. S.-British Labor
Farley Considered on
Factory Conversion
Tentutive Invitation
Sent English With
Approval of O. P. M.

An exchange of visiting labor
delegations between the United
States and Great Britain is being
considered by the Office of Produc-
ton Management as a means of
further co-ordinating defense labor
activities.
A tentative invitation has been
sent British labor groups, it was
said. And o. P. M. officials pointed
out that the British Trades Union
has paved the way for such an ex-
change by an invitation extended
recently to the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
One of the problems to be con-
sidered is that of threatened dis
location of thousands of American
workers by impending shifts of fac
tories to defense production. The
possible magnitude of the problem
has been indicated in the silk in
dustry. Technical experts of the
industry today continued confer
ences with labor and Government
officials on the most effective means
of shifting silk hosiery industry
workers and facilities to manufac-
ture of rayon and other fibers.
The o. P. M. yesterday designated
H. B. Hayden, native of Elizabeth
City County, Va, to serve as its
representative in handling of lease
lend matters. He formerly was
special assistant to the Chief of
Air Corps.

Henderson Promises
Price Control Will Be
Administered Fairly
IF Named Administrator
He Would Oppose Rigid
Ceilings, He Testifies
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A promise that price-control leg
islation would be administered
fairly and without rigid ceilings
was given to Congress by Leon
Henderson of the Office of Price
Control, who is in line for appoint
ment as chief of the program.
Under questioning by Representa-
tive Williams, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, Mr.. Henderson told the House
Banking Committee that if he were
selected as administrator he would
seek a staff that would mot try to
build a rigid ceiling" that would
take the heat out of inflationary
situations" and that would set prices
under which agriculture and indus
try could go forward with this
great task"
I'VE have attempted to spell out
as many projections and standards
as we could" he added. noting with
smile that the pending bill had
more guarantees than exist in total
itarian states.
Mr.. Henderson said that although
a price-control administration prob
ably would have direct responsibility
for administering the program, the
powers President Roosevelt has
asked Congress to grant would be
exercised in many cases by other
departments or agencies of Govern
ment. For example, Secretary of
Commerce Jones might be "su-
preme" in the field of special COM
modify purchases and the Justice
Department might have the final
word in enforcement problems.

so they thought. Later he told me

The shirtmaker was released next
morning. His documents were
handed back to him. Among them
was a small black address book

friends in Paris. We had been

The address book followed my notes

I found the Gestapo charming
Others found them less so-with
reason. They were housed in a
pleasant villa requisitioned from an
evidently prosperous doctor. In

toned by a young captain wearing

So confessed that I had come
into the occupied zone fraudulently,
without papers of any kind, and
had hoped to recross the line in
the same way. This definitely
cleared the air. On the table I
saw my effects, my beloved note
book and all. The interpreter was
idly reading the first page of the
five-page report given to me by
my careless friend in Paris. Wearily
he asked me to tell him what it was.
I explained that it contained the
ideas of a friend of mine on the
state of opinion in French unions
and on the ineptitude of Gaullist
propaganda, which my friend
thought very bad.
At that moment the captain and
his silent assistant were called out
And the Alsatian got up and went
over to a drinking fountain to take

table.

u. 5. Expects Germany
To Delay Robin Moor
Payment for Years
Preparing Bill for Damages
Will Be Long and
Tedious Job
BY GARNETT ID. HORNER.

The United States Government Is
laboriously preparing bill against
Germany for damages in the sinking
OF the American merchant ship
Robin Moor, but has no real hope
Of collecting it for many years.
Recalling that it was long after
the last World War before this coun-
try collected any reparations from
Germany for the pre-war loss of
American ships, authorities pointed
out that there was less chance of
prompt settlement of the Robin
Moor case because of the present
strained relations between the
United and Germany.
Ship Sunk Last May.
The Robin Moore, carrying 46
Passengers and crew members and
cargo of non-military goods to South
Africa, was sunk by German sub
marine in the South Atlantic May
81. Many days later, the passengers
and crew were rescued, part of them
by Brazilian and part by Brit
iSh ship, although the Nazi subma-
rine had made no provision for their
safety.
On June 20. President Roosevelt
Informed Congress that the sinking
was the act of an international out
law and that:
The Government of the United
States holds Germany responsible
for the outrageous and indefensible
sinking of the Robin Moor. Full
reparation for the losses and dam
ages suffered by American nations
will be expected from the German
government"
Mr.. RooSevelt's message was sent
to the German Embassy for its
information the next day. The
State Department said that was all
there was to be said on the case
until a bill for damages was sub
mitted to Germany.
Long and Tedious Job.
Offcials now at work compiling
the bill said it would be long and
tedious job. The ships manifest
list of its cargo-ran to more than
100 pages. Conferences with the
shippers of all the various items of
cargo, which ranged from steel rails
and automobile parts to brassieres,
will be necessary to establish the
value of the lost cargo. Claims for
damages by individual passengers
and crew members must be estab-
lished.
This work will be completed as
soon as possible, officials said, then
the bill will be submitted to Ger
many-if we still have diplomatic
relations by then, and unless it is
decided there is no use in pressing
the matter until the war is over.
