D. {. Investigating
Smoking in Theaters
Commissioner Mason
Asserts 1t Is Huzord

Commissioner Guy Mason dis
closed today that an investigation is
being made into smoking In local
theaters and said the Commission
ers may issue regulations to prohibit
the practice.
Mr.. Mason said at a meeting of
the Public Health Subcommittee of
the House District Committee that
smoking in theaters had struck
him. as being a definite fire hazard.
He pointed out that woman patrons
frequently draped fur coats over the
backs of theater seats and that some
might possibly catch fire.
The Commissioner said he did not
know of any fires that had resulted
from smoking in theaters here. but
declared the condition has been
disturbing" the Commissioners.
Engineer Commissioner Charles
w. Kutz pointed out that whether
smoking is permitted is now up to
the individual theaters, but that the
Commissioners have power to con-
troll it.
Previously Commissioner Kutz re-
piled to question from Representa-
tive Beall, Republican. of Maryland
by asserting that "as of today there
are no fire hazards in night clubs in
Washington" Mr.. Beall had asked
whether any inspection of fire exits
and hazards in night clubs here had
been made in the last six months.
Commissioner Mason also replied
to Mr.. Beall's question and said the
few hazards discovered were about
corrected"

Excess War Workers
Can Be Absorbed
MchuH Declares
Employees Of Overprodueed
Industries Are Needed
Elsewhere, He Asserts
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The 650.0O0 workers who, accord
ing to prediction by Philip Muir
ray, CIO president, may lose their
jobs in war plants that have over
produced can be absorbed by other
industries, Manpower Chairman
Paul v. McNutt said today.
He told his press conference that
because of present manpower de-
mands throughout industry, there
should be no need for any worker to
be unemployed.
Mr.. McNutt also said he was salts
fed under the conditions that ex-
isted," with the progress made by
the United States Employment Serv-
ice on the national job sterilization
program.
He said the USES is understaffed
and overworked, and that he is
seeking help for the agency.
The stress has been very great"
he declared, and the USES needs
help. I have asked for it, and +
hope it is provided
He asked newspapermen to quote
him as saying that despite present
handicaps the USES has done
wonderful JOB
Shortly before Mr. McNutts press
conference, the Office Of Defense
Transportation issued a statement
revealing that the acute manpover
shortages in the transit industry
had been the subject of study
last week. AS a result, the state
ment said. the VINO would be asked
to revise its latest occupational bull
letin to include bus and streetcar
operators in the list of essential
occupations to prevent a break
down of the public transportation
systems, particularly in critical
labor areas.
Lack of adequate transportation
facilities, the ODT said, has been a
factor in absenteeism among war
workers, Surveys show that in areas
with adequate transportation IA
cilities, workers are away from their
jobs much less frequently than in
areas where transportation is in
adequate.
The agency pointed out that the
48-hour workWeek offers no solu-
ton to the manpower shortage in
the transit industry, since the
average workweek of streetcar and
bus operators considerably exceeds
48 hours

Wickard Sees Peril
Of |nf|ationary Spiral
II Pace Bill Passes
Warns Senators Prices
Of Food Would Increase
10 Per Cent in IS Months
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wickard
said today enactment of the Pace
bill to include all farm labor costs
in computing parity prices. would
unloose IAN inflationary spiral, the
result Of which it is impossible even
to estimate"
Testifying before the Senate Agri-
culture Committee, the majority of
whose members favor the legisla-
ton, Secretary Wickard asserted the
measure would increase the average
of farm parity by over IA per cent.
TT is estimated that as result
the retail cost of food would be in
creased by about 10 per cent within
II to Is months, the Secretary added.
It was Mr. Wickard's third appear
ance before the committee, but his
first testimony. Questioning of Price
Administrator Brown and others
crowded him out previously.
Bill Would Harm All Groups"
Although the farm bloc could not
muster sufficient votes to override
President Roosevelt's veto of the
Bankhead bill to raise farm price
ceilings and has little hope of setting
aside a possible veto of the Pace
bill, a majority Of the committee
appeared for today's hearing. The
Bankhead measure was sent back to
the same committee.
Mr.. Wickard said he was convinced
the Pace bill would work harm to
all groups in this country, and that
in the long run it would work par
ticular harm to the farm people"
The increased living costs it would
entail, he added, would add i'm
measurably to the pressure for in
creases in industrial prices and
wages"
"If such increases occurred" he
continued, "the whole country would
be swept along by the currents of
uncontrolled imitation. The last
effective barrier would be down,
and every month we would be
carried along at faster pace"

income from the bill at a billion
and half dollars in 1914, Mr.. Wick
ard said that increase. lin the name
Of covering increased farm labor
costs, would equal the entire amount
paid to hired farm labor in 1912"
Mr.. Wickard said he could not see
how public support Of the parity
principle and public confidence in
farmers "can be expected to con-
tinue if we alter the definition of
parity to include farm labor at a
time when this action will so greatly
increase the parity index" He
estimated it would raise the parity
index % points from 161 to 1874.
With farm income higher than
ever before" Mr.. Wickard said, re-
ports already have come in that in
some areas, "small-scale land booms'
are under way, though in most cases
farmers are paying off old debts and
buying War bonds and insurance.
IT they become convinced we are
on the road to general imitation. I
am afraid that their interest would
shift away from bonds and debts

important changes in the front over
night. The broadcast was recorded
by the Soviet radio monitor here.
In the Belgorod sector northeast
of Kharkov the Russians said their
troops had broken into stretch of
German trenches during the night
and occupied them. killing about 100
German officers and men.
On the front west of Moscow
where the Russians have been driv-
ing toward Smolensk, only minor
actions were reported.
Positions Penetrated.
"A Soviet platoon during the night
penetrated into enemy positions and
attacked German trenches" the
communique added. With hand
grenades and rifle fire our scouts
wiped out 20 German soldiers and
one officer. Booty was captured"
In the Kuban area in the Cau-
casus, where the Russians have been
whiting at the German bridgehead
at Novorossisk, Red Army artillery
was said to have destroyed IL block
houses and dugouts and % firing
positions.

infantry and dispersed and partly
annihilated about three companies

The German communique, heard
from the Berlin radio, said two Rus
sian battalions of about 1000 men
were destroyed northwest of Izyum

Bv GOULD LINCOLN.

"This is no time for politics. Let
us get on with the war;" National
Democratic Chairman Frank c.
Walker said today in commenting
on Republican National Chairman
Harrison E. Spangler's proposal
agreeing to a short presidential cam
paign next year, provided President
Roosevelt agrees not to run for a
fourth term.
The contents of Mr.. Spangler's
letter have not reached me except
through the press, Mr.. Walker
declared. For this reason I hesi-
tate to make comment. will say,
however, that I suggested short
campaign because in my judgment it
would be in the best interests of our
country. Obviously the opposition
is not in accord with my views"
Silent on Roosevelt Candidacy.
Postmaster General Walker, who
was in New York, said nothing about
whether the President would or
would not seek denomination.
Mr.. Spangler's proposal was in re-
ply to an earlier suggestion from Mr.
Walker that the 1914 presidential
campaign be curtailed, with the
nominating conventions held late in
the summer or early fall.
Whatever the formal reply to the
Spangler ggestion-unless there is
fiat statement the President will
not run again-it will be interpreted
in Republican and anti-New Deal
quarters as clear indication the New
Dealers intend to renominate the
President, and that in all proba bility
he will accept.
Spangler Pens 750-Word Letter.
A number of prominent New Deal
Democrats, including Senator Guffey
of Pennsylvania and Gov. Matthew
NJ Neeley of West Virginia. have
already declared that the President
must be renominated, not only to
carry on the war but also to have
charge of peace negotiations after
victory has been won.
In 750-word letter to Mr.
Walker last night Mr.. Spangler
said remuneration of a fourth
term by President Roosevelt would
assure unity and enable both major
political parties to agree on short
campaign next year, as proposed by
the Democratic chairman.
But unless positive assurance"
can be given by Mr.. Walker that
Mr.. Roosevelt will not accept a
fourth term nomination, Mr.. Span
gler declared, I'VE must assume
that you already have nominated
Mr. Roosevelt, and there is nothing
for us to discuss"
House Minority Leader Martin
commenting today on the Spangler
letter, said:
The counter-proposal of Chair
man Spangler. If carried out, would
create greater unity in the war
effort"
A Democratic Senator. who did
not wish to be quoted by name, said
he believed the country already has
generally accepted the belief that
President Roosevelt is q candidate
for denomination, especially if the
war is still on next year.
Senator Guffey declared: Mr.
Spangler's proposal is so absurd that
it does not require an answer. He's
trying to nominate a Democratic
candidate for U.S."
Spangler's Letter.
Mr.. Spangler's letter to Mr.
Walker follows.
Upon your return to Washington
on April l after your tour of the
country, you were quoted In a press
conference as saying that you

mote national unity, to make the

Local Boards to Give Advice.
1t will be guided, however. by the
District OPA which, in turn, will
receive recommendations from its
local boards. Proprietors of eating
establishments are required, under
Mr.. Browns order, to file by May l
menus or price lists showing the
highest prices charged for food and
drinks during the week ended last
Saturday. These menus will form
the basis for any OPA action.
Mr.. Brown said it had become
necessary in certain areas. at least,
TO curb the rising prices in eating
and drinking places. He hoped,
however, that operators of such
places would keep their prices down
and the quality of their food up so
that it will not be necessary to i'm
pose ceilings.
The OPA chief said he took the
sction in line with the Presidents

night, which directed that ceilings
be placed on commodities not now

have been given free rein in setting
prices. although they have Seen re-

necessary. Regional offices also
have been empowered to fax the
size and quality of the meals served
Mr.. Brown said Americans are ex-
pected to spend $6,00O,0O 900 in
public eating places this year
about twice as much as they spent
in 1899. The increase, he said, was
due to increased costs of eating out

how much time will be given to win

referring, therefore, to your sug-
gestion that the party conventions
be held at a late date, I submit the
following:
IF Mr.. Roosevelt Is seeking a
fourth term, then OF course any
convention your party may have will
be, as it was in 1910, mere gesture
and it would be of small conse-
quence to you whether such ratif-
cation convention were held early
or late. A late Republican conven-
ton under such circumstances,
however, would not only be unfair
to my party but unfair to the people
OF the country who might be de-
prived of fair opportunity to Judge
our candidate.
Assurance Demanded.
IT you can and will give to the
people of this country satisfactory
and positive assurance that Mr..
Roosevelt does not have the ambi-
ton for, and will not under any
circumstances accept, nomination
for a fourth term, then we will well
come your proposal for a short cam
paign during war time. BY such an
announcement and promise, unity
will be assured and we can all pro-
ceed with the task of decisively WIN
ming the war.
If you are prepared to give us and
the country the assurance suggested,
then you and can sit down together
soon and work out a formula to be
submitted to our respective commit
tees for approval. If you find you
cannot give us such assurance, we
must assume that you have already
nominated Mr.. Roosevelt and we
have nothing to discuss.

will hold myself in readiness to
