President Is Expected
To Issue Call for
Labor Peace Farley
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

The proposal to call an indus
trial peace conference has been
put up to President Truman by
Secretary Of Labor Schwellen-
bach, 1t was learned today.
The expectation is that such a
conference will be called-although
the matter has been temporarily
side-tracked due to the necessity OF
dealing with immediate problems Of
ending the war and lifting war con-
trolls. The call may come within a
week.
The plan for labor management
conference to work out basic princi-
Piles and machinery for industrial
peace, first was advanced less than
two weeks ago in an interchange of
letters between Senator Vandenberg,
Republican, of Michigan, and Secre-
tary Schwellenbach. The Michigan
Senator declared that peace on the
home front was as essential as peace
on the international front. He
strongly urged that conference be
called by Secretary Schwellenbach.
Mr.. Schwellenbach approved the
idea in a letter to Senator Vanden-
berg.
Reaction Favorable.
Reaction to the proposal has been
favorable throughout the country
with labor leaders and employers
both agreeing that it would be a
good move. Public approval also has
been widely expressed.
1t is realized that the utmost care
must be taken in planning for such
a conference-how it is to be COM
posed and what shall be the agenda
and the scope of the declarations
Snator Vandenberg's underlying
thought is that the conference shall
concern itself with machinery to1
bring about peaceful settlement of
disputes between labor and manage
ment - very much as the United
Nations Conference in San Fran
cisco dealt with means of peaceful
settlement of international disputes !
To endeavor to flx, at such con-
ference, minimum wages in industry,
for example. would be comparable to
attempting to Ak peace terms when
the United Nations Charter was
drafted
President Philip Murray OF the
CIO, in a letter to Mr.. Schwellen-
bach voicing broad approval of the
Vandenberg suggestion, set forth
eight points, the first of which was
that the conference should be called
jointly by the Secretary Of Labor
and Secretary of Commerce Wal
lace.
Murray Offers Topics.
Mr.. Murray included in the list
subjects he said should be con-
sidered: An adequate wage policy
assuring high level of purchasing
power for the masses of the people,
enactment Of the Pepper Hook bill
fixing IS cents an hour as a mini
mum wage, enactment of the Muir
ray-Patman full employment bill
enactment OF the fair employment
practices bill, consideration of ways
and means to extend through COL
lective bargaining an annual wage
for wage earners and enactment of
legislation to protect freedom of en-
terprise for small business and to
afford assistance to small business
through taxes land otherwise"
Whether the conference is to be
called by President Truman or by
Mr.. Schwellenbach, as proposed in
the Vandenberg letter, or by both
Mr.. Schwellenbach and Mr. Wallace
is also matter which will be de-
termined by the President, if and
when he gives his final approval.

said teletype messages can be sent
through the air by means of light
waves, which are relayed compara-
lively short distance. No station is
more than IS miles apart from It's
nearest relay station. Such a sys-
tenn, 1t is believed, would eliminate
the need for the hundreds of miles
OF telegraph poles and wires now
in existence.
Mr.. Mitchell said the main advan-
tage OF such system would be the
conservation OF material and "a
better quality Of service since its
operation would not be affected by
the elements" The micro-waye
transmission system would operate
IN the ultra-high frequency wave
bands, the same as In teleyision.

Lindbergh Likened
To MITCHELL; Return
OF Commission Urged
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Mason, Republi-
can, of Illinois, declared today that
Charles A. Lndbergh lis the Billy
Mitchell of this war; and demanded
restoration of the Army Air Force
Reserve commission Mr.. Lindbergh
resigned after dispute with Presi-
dent Roosevelt in l941.
Mr.. Mason asserted that Mr.. Lind
bergh "shot down several enemy
planes" while making test fights as
civilian expert in the Southwest
Pacific and should be awarded the
Distinguished Service Medal for his
work in that theater.
"Lindbergh is exactly in the same
status as the late Gen. Billy Mitch
ell, who was dead 20 years before
the wrong that was done to him was
corrected" Mr.. Mason told re-
porter.
May Seek Legislation.
Il am hopeful that this will be
rectified without legislation, and
that is why am calling it to the
attention Of the public and Con-
gress at this time.
However, If something isn't done
voluntarily propose to introduce
legislation to clear Col Lindbergh
and restore his commission"
Mr.. Mason added he would wait
probably until January" before TAX
ing any action.
The Army Air Forces had no COM
ment.
Mr.. Lindbergh gave up his COM
mission as colonel in April, 194l,
during a clash with the administra-
ton over foreign policy.

Mr., Mason earlier this week said
in Congressional Record state
ment:
Ford took Lindbergh on in spite
Iof White House opposition and
Lindbergh went to the Southwest

"In demonstration test flights
as a technical civilian adviser to
our fighting forces-he actually shot
down several enemy planes, all, of
course, off the record because he
was a civilian and noncombatant
Although 43 years old. Mr.. Mason
said, "Lindbergh risked his life time
after time in order to demonstrate
to our Army pilots what could be
done with our fighter planes and
with our bombers"
