A 14-year-Old Detroit girl to-
day had $3.50 to compensate her
for the broken arm she suffered
July FL, 1910, when she fell
from a Shetland pony at Shady
side Park owned by Joe Provost.
The settlement was approved
by Circuit Judge James E. Spier

girl, Reena Biederman, of 1905
Lee place, agreed on the amount.
The girl sought $4,000 in her
suit. -.
She testified that because of
the fractured right arm she tires

Nelson War Board
Plans First Meetinq
Here This Afternoon
Production Chief
Expected to Outline
Administrative PIuns

The new War Production Board
was scheduled to hold its first meet
ing this afternoon to hear its chair
man, Donald M. Nelson, outline
plans for remodeling the admins
tration Of the war production effort.
The nine member board is made
up Of members Of the Supply Priori-
ties and Allegations Board which it
replaces, but it does not share with
its chairman the broad powers over
labor, industry and governmental
agencies given him by the Presi-
dents executive order last Friday.
1t was learned that Mr.. Nelson
conferred late yesterday with Sidney
Hillman, associate director of the
o. P. NJ, at the later's hotel room
where he Is confined with q cold.
One of the principal questions to be
answered in Mr.. Nelson's reorgani-
zation plan is what will become of
Mr.. Hillman's labor division.
VIII Direct Labor Training.
Some officials have contended
that Mr.. Hillman's organization
would continue in charge Of all labor
matters, except disputes which are
handled by the War Labor Board,
headed by William H. Davis. This
would leave Mr.. Hillman a broad
field of operations, chiefly concerned
with the increasingly critical prob
lens of labor supply and of training
unskilled workers for war indus
tries.
Informed quarters said yesterday
that one Of the principal features
Of Mr.. Nelson's s reorganization plans
probably would be the creation of a
requirements division to determine
needs of the Army, Navy, lease-lend
administration and civilian con-
sumers in terms of raw materials
and plan the ALLEGATION Of such
materials.
Repeatedly another feature of the
streamlined program will be the
placing Of civilian procurement ex-
perts- responsible to Mr.. Nelson-in
Army and Navy procurement offices
to guide and advise on purchase of
weapons, munitions and supplies for
the armed forces.
Charges Priorities Violations.
Meanwhile, Congress studied a
recommendation from Attorney
General Biddle to tighten existing
priorities laws, the Attorney General
having advised the Senate Judiciary
Committee yesterday that viola
tions of priorities and ALLEGATIONS
orders are widespread and serious !"
Mr.. Biddle made this charge in a
statement he sent to the committee
as it began a study of a bill con-
tanning provisions to strengthen
Evening star., 1942-01-20

various war powers of the Govern.
ment.
1T is true" Mr.. Biddle observed,
that there are various administra-
tive sanctions available to the Once
Of Production Management.
Fuel and power might be cut
OF to q factory violating the prior
tiles order as was done during the
World War on several occasions.
But administrative sanctions, al
though highly important, do not
provide an adequate remedy in all
cases.
For example, at a time when
airplane production is vitally
needed, it would not facilitate war
production to curtail the supply Of
aluminium to an airplane company
and thus close the plant"
The proposed amendment would
provide a $4,000 fine and imprison-
ment for one year as maximum PEN
alties for violations. Mr.. Piddle
said the provision was asked by
Mr.. Nelson.
In another development yester-
day, the House Small Business Com
mittee was told by Guy Holcombe,
head of the small business section
Of the Justice Department, that an
independent agency should be set
up to see that small industries get
a share of the war production. This
same plan previously had been ad-
vocated by Floyd Odlum, head Of
the contracts division of the o. P.

End Of Business Held
No Defense Against
Labor Board Order
Supreme Court Rules
Out Firms Contention
In Reinstatement Case
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associsted Press.
The Supreme Court held yesterday
that q Labor Board order which
directed q company to reinstate GER
tain employees with back pay could
not be set aside merely because the
concern had gone out Of business.
Evidence that the company has
been liquidated Is immaterial, the
court said, because the boards order
applied not only to the company but
to its Officers. agents. successors
and assigns" and therefore 1t may
yet be the basis-and the indis-
pensable basis-of liability on the
part of any Of these persons" The
court did not decide, however,
whether this actually was the case.
Agreed to Comply.
The case involved the Southport
Petroleum Co. Of Texas City, Tex,
which was ordered by the board In
August, 1888, to reinstate with back
pay three employees allegedly dis
charged for union activity and to
take certain other action. In June,
1889, the company entered a stipu-
lation with the board agreeing to
comply with the order except in
regard to back pay, and the board
accepted.
The board charged that the COM
pany failed to carry out any terms
of the stipulation, however, and in
April, 1910, petitioned the Circuit
Court Of Appeals for enforcement
Of its order. The company then
sought to reopen the case before
the board to show that four days
after making the 1899 stipulation
it had distributed all its assets to
its four stockholders as a nquidat-
ing dividend and that two stock
holders who received the refinery
transferred it to a new Delaware
corporation.
The Circuit Court refused to per-
NIT the company to adduce this
evidence, and this ruling was upheld
by the Supreme Court, 6 to 2, with
Justice Jackson writing the major
A' OfAAAOAis SlANl CuOtlCC OUUIlc
and Justice Reed dissented and
Justice Roberts did not participate
Convictions Upheld.
The Supreme Court also upheld
the conviction Ct Norton /. KSetske,
former assistant United States at
torney at Chicago, and Alfred E.
Roth, private lawyer, on fraud
conspiracy charges growing out of
alleged bribery in connection with
prosecutions of liquor law violators
The conviction OF another former
assistant United States attorney
Daniel D. Chaser, in the same case
was reversed and new trial ordered
On the ground that CHASER did rot
have the effective assistance of
counsel.
A dissenting opinion by Justice
Frankfurter. in which Chief Justice
Stone concurred. said that not until
Is weeks after the trial had ended
did CHASER discover that he had
been deprived Of his constitutional
rights and that this was obviously

Expand 5. &c.
Fovor Nine Members
Serving Ten Instead

q, the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
The Investment Bankers Assocla-
ton asked Congress today to expand
the Securities Commission from five
to nine members and extend their
terms of ONCE from five to ten years
to relieve the commissions increas-
ing work load.
John S. Fleek, Cleveland, I. B. A.
president, told the House Interstate
Commerce Committee that the pro-
posals we're advanced because Of a
rapid turnover in the S. E. C. per-
sonnel and because the work load
of the commission is excessively
heavy"
The commission has expressed op-
position to such changes in the Sc
curitles and Exchange Act OF 1884
Asserting that administration OF
the Public Utility Holding Company
Act was alone a job great enough
for the full-time work of a flve-man
commission. Fleek told the commit
tee:
Since its organization in 1884
the commission has had five differ
ent chairmen. The turnover in the
membership of the commission has
been high. Changes in the chair
manship and in the composition OF
the commission itself has been dis
turbing to business and have from
time to time created a feeling OF
uncertainty as to the course which
the commission might take.
The securities industry earnestly
recommended that steps be taken
by the Congress which will lead to
greater continuity of Office within
the commission itself
THE proposal which we are max
ing here is not intended in any way
as a criticism of the commission, OF
its administration of the acts in
