 No Statement
 A Naval Board of Inquiry con- venes today to investigate the ac- cident. It would make no statement.

One uncorfrmed report said that the plane was over San Diego at one time and had circled back.
 Gowan was supposed to have been hiding the regular civil aeronautics authority radio beam into San Diego.

High Court
 Gives NLRB New Powers

WASHINGTON, Jan. The Su nreme Court held the Labor Board has authority to require a company to sign a written con- tract with labor organizations.
 Justice Stone delivered the de cision in the case of a Pittsburgh company testing hte Boards au- thority under the labor act.
 There were no dissenting votes. McReynolds did not participate,
 Ston.-. said, Refusal to bargain collectively is an unfair labor practice. It is true the labor act, while requiring an employer to bargain co actively, doesn't com pei him to enter into any agree ment, but it doesn't follow that having r-'ached an agreement he can refuse to sign it. Because he never agreed to sign one, he may never have agreed to bargain, but the statute however requir- es him to do so."

Medical Supplies Britain Sought

NEW YORK - An urgent plea for anti-toXins and other supplies to prev.nt the outbreak of epi- denies among children in Great Britain was issued by Dr. Carnes Weeks. advisory chairman of the Medical and Surgical Supply Committee of America, with na- tional headquarters in New York.
 Warning that the winter lack of sunshina coupled with damp ness and poor ventilation in makeshift bomb shelters may ere ate a "serious health emergency, especially among growing child ren of school age" Dr. Weeks call-d upon the parents of the United States to help the com mittee meet the problem. The ned is greatest, he said for vita mins, cod liver oil, anti-toxins, anti-meningicocci, food concen- trates, cereals and canned milk.
 "England's battle is more than a war against invasion by ships and planes" Dr. Weeks observ- ed. Hers is a fight against sick ness and disease wrought by crippled water supply systems, shattered homes, bombed hospit- als and nsanitary air raid shel- ters. Against such background the plight of Britain's youngsters is naturally more heart-rending." "
 Since the committee was form ed last August, Dr. Weeks dis closed 500 gallons of cod liver oil and tonics have been shipped to .mergency field hospitals in Eng land where they are distributed among children stricken with rickets and other diseases result ing from lack of sunshine. In addition, 5,0OO,OOO doses of vita min concentrates have been sent overseas to treat cases of malnu- trition and build resistance among English boys and girls. In the four months of it's existence the committee has raissd $l08,000
 The Committee is kept inform ed by cable from London of the need or specific medical and sur gical supplies. A cable message that arrived recently requested immediate shipment of rubber sheeting, hot water bottles, lint and tetanus antitoxins Many drug and supply houses turnout the nation have contributed gen. erously to the ubport of the committees work, Dr. Weeks said.

Hull described the measure as one to make it possible for the United States to allocate our re sources in the ways best calculat ed to provide security for this nation and this continent. Above all it will do all these things in the speediest possible manner and overwhelming speed is our greatest need"
 He asserted that the proposed nv order in the Pacific means domination by one country to the exclusion of the interests of oth- CT nations.
