which Brown participated.

Tire Sparks Still
Fly In Washington
Vevbol Collision
Hos Repereussions

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is -(R)
- The sparks still flew today
in the wake of a verbal collision
between President Roosevelt's
new rubber administrator and q
Senate committee inquiring into
the relative merits of cotton and
rayon for use in heavy duty
tires.
Chairman Smith (D-S.C.) Of
the Agriculture Committee an
nounced appointment Of q sub
committee to fight for what he
termed the protection of cotton
from big financial interests
after Administrator William M.
LETTERS had challenged anyone
to stop him from substituting
rayon for cotton If the Army
wanted it that way.
Smith SAID he was bitterly
disappointed" in the new admin
istrator.
Senator Norris (Ind-Neb. }
told reporters on the other hand
that he approved of "the cour-
ageous we" LETTERS talked be-
fore the committee yesterday,
even though he said he would
"hate to see the cotton farmers
lose this market"
HE talked like he was going
to be his own boss" Norris said.
1--WE need administrators like
that in this government"
LETTERS, former president OF
the Union Pacific Railroad, told
the committee he was indiffer-
ent to pressure groups and that
If the Army wanted rayon sub
stituted for cotton he would %
order.
Senator Stewart Cd Tenn.)
appointed chairman of the SUBJ
committee to gather all the
facts, for and against cotton"
said he would start hearings
soon. Senators Ellender OLA
and Aiken (R-Vt.) were named
to serve with him.
II sent q letter to Mr.. LETTERS
yesterday asking him for the
names Of all the people who
recommend the substitution Of
rayon and for all Of those who
asserted cotton was better,
Senator Smith told reporters.
"Mr. LETTERS said he was tired
Of those who have charge Of our
affairs gambling in this desper-
ate hour. Yet, he's approving
substitution for cotton which
has been used in tires for years.
II there's gambling, he Is doing
it."

The American Federation of La
Dor favors an immediate ar
mistice with the CIO but has
declared war on the National
Labor relations Board and
Thurman Arnold, the antitrust
chief of the u. S. Justice De-
partment.
Reports on the three subjects
were submitted to the Fedora

the Resolutions Committee and
all were approved by q voice

Young pastors riding to their
country crossroads pulpits on
horseback - just like circuit
riding grandpa used to do =
may be common sights in Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Iowa soon.
For if they don't, say Baptist
ministerial students at William

not be any pastors.
Paul Thompson, Russellville,
Mo-, is considering the horse as
q method of reaching his part
time pastorates near Eldon and
California, Mo-, he said. The
174-mile circuit is wearing his
tires pretty thin.
David G.. Hause, also q stu
dent, holds three pastorates near
Norborne, Dewitt and Coloma,
Mo-, and his automobile already
lacks spare tire. He gave it to
another student pastor who had
only three tires left.

Besides recommending an in

it was recommended that a
special committee present the
two reports - that of the reso-
lutions committee and that of
the executive council-to Pres
ident Roosevelt.
HIT RAIDING
The report on the CIO ap-
proved the resumption of nego-
tiations, beginning next month,
80 that unity can be re-estab-
lished under the banner Of the
American Federation of labor"
It added that the progress in
negotiations would be made
more difficult If membership
ra aiding continued and 1--WE
therefore urgently recommend
that this convention approve an
immediate armistice as an es-
sential evidence of good faith
and sincerity"
The committee report itself,
and the brief discussion on the
floor prior to its adoption, did
not disclose what form such an
armistice would take or how it
would be achieved so far as
jurisdictional disputes were con-
cerned. CLIO President Philip
Murray has proposed arbitration
as q means of settling such dis
putes.
A third report by the Reso-
lutions Committee said "the ad-
ministration of the National La
Dor Relations Act, despite i'm
povements resulting from legis-
lative and other efforts of the
federation, continues to present
important deficiencies and Sc
rious problems.
1.-THE executive councils re-
port indicates that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is still
victimized by the prejudice of
subordinate officials of the
board and by erroneous deci-
sions Of the board itself grow
ing out of its absolute power to
determine what form and struc-
ture trade union organization in
this country should take"

William Gre e n and John P.
Frey, secretary OF the Resolu-
tons Committee, vehemently as
sailed the. board, declaring it was
causing turmoil q m ong west

bargaining elections even after

Electioneering by rival CIO

gendered bitterness and hurt the
