withdrew the request when Majority
Leader Barkley objected.
Backers of restraints on labor
unions left the initial talking largely
to those who opposed labor measures
until the Senate recessed late in the
afternoon until Monday.
Senator Pepper, Democrat of Flor
Ida, pleaded that 1--WE moderate our
passions"
I'VE are not legislating just for
John L. Lewis when we pass labor
legislation" he said. I'VE are legis-
lating for all the workers and all the
employers"
Senator Revercomb, Republican
from the coal-mining State of West
Virginia, expressed hope the Senate
will not deal with any special legis-
lation for any special industry
On the other hand, Senator Wiley
Republican, of Wisconsin asserted
1t is time for Congress to show
some CUTS"
I'm not going to be lulled into
sleep by l5-day respite he said
referring to the coal strike truce.
The bill technically before the
Senate is one approved by its Labor
Committee as substitute for the
far-reaching bill by Representative
Case, Republican of South Dakota
which the House has passed. The
Senate bill would merely strengthen
the Federal Cancellation service and
ban union interference with farmers
delivering their produce to market
But Senators were ready with nu-
merous amendments designed to i'm
pose stricter regulations on unions
and their sponsors demanded action
Truce Called Reprieve.
Senator Eastland, Democrat, of
Mississippi, who had forced the lead
ership to bring up the labor legis-
lation after the British loan, told
reporters the truce offer in the coal
strike merely gives the American
people a temporary reprieve from
death"
The fight must go on to curb
John L. Lewis and his kind" he
added. Congress shouldn't leave
the power in the hands of any one
man to destroy the Nation"
As the Senate turned to the sub
ject. it got major new proposal
from Senator Byrd, Democrat, of
Virginia. He offered an amendment
which would require unions to in
corporate and register with the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission
AS corporations they would be SUBJ
tect to suit for violations of con-
tracts and would come under many
laws from which they are now
exempt.
In addition, Senator Byrd has an
amendment which would outlaw
royalty payments to unions by en-

listeners in on the information that
the District has both white and
colored policemen, flremen and
school teachers.
Senator Bilbo, in his campaign
speeches, however, is stressing the
point that he was instrumental in
passing the national legislation that
led to establishment of four agricul-
tural research laboratories in diff
ferent parts of the country.
The Senator takes time to explain
that scientists work in these labora-
tories perfected the synthetic man
ufacture of penicillin, which saved
lives during the war; the production
of apple honey, the weaving of cloth
from peanuts and the strengthening
Of cotton fiber.
Another argument raised by Mr.
Collins is that Senator Bilbo has
opposed several Mississippians nom
mated for various offices since he
has been in the Senate. AS an illus
tration, he recalls that Senator Bilbo
cast the deciding vote that made
Senator Barkley of Kentucky the
Democratic floor leader over the late
Senator Harrison of Mississippi.
Turning to the race question, Mr..
Collins continues, "this summer he
will be telling you he is for white
supremacy. Well, doubt seriously
if any district in the South could
elect any one who was opposing
white supremacy: The South has
had white supremacy ever since the
first boat loads of slaves in Virginia
327 years ago, and I never dreamed
Bilbo had been hanging around that
long"
Mr.. Collins insists he did not bring
up the race question and does not
believe it has any place In the
campaign.
II believe that when the race
question is settled it will be by
sensible men, and not by dema-
gogues in the North or South" the
former House member goes on.
He tells his audience, however
that since it has been brought up
he wants to give the record. He
then proceeds to make his claim
that Senator Bilbo had the Rev
Marshall Shepard, colored clergy
man from Philadelphia, confirmed
as District recorder of deeds, and
contends Senator Bilbo prolonged
the life of FEPC by not objecting
to a compromise appropriation q
year ago.
Senator Bilbo has denied both OF
these charges in recent speeches

Such~activity in far-drifting cloud
traces would have to be hundreds of
times stronger to have a harmful
effect on life in any form, it was
explained. After the first atomic
bomb test in New Mexico traces of
radioactivity were known to have
drifted for many days at very high
attitudes.
One Navy scientist at Annapolis,
Md. reported that a Geiger counter
set up in his back yard registered
an increase in activity several days
after the first explosion.
1t Is possible, physicists said, that
minute amounts of radioactivity
might drift around the world nu-
merous times at attitudes of 10000
feet or more.
DR.. Ralph A. Sawyer of Washing
ton, technical director of the Bikini
tests, who leaves tomorrow for the

activity is present normally in the
upper air due to the action of cos
mic waves. Increase In this activity

Ieheran Negotiations
Have Collapsed, Say
Azerbaijjan Delegates
BY the Assoeioted Press

TEHERAN, May 11.-Members
OF the Azerbaijan delegation to-
day said negotiations with the
Central government had. broken
down and they would return
promptly to Tabriz, capital of
the Self-proclaimed autonomous
state.
A spokesman of the Central gov
ernment's Foreign Office denied that
the negotiations were deadlocked,
but said "an announcement of the
friendly termination of the confer
enceS Is expected"
A foreign source here, who is ar
expert on Middle East affairs, said
that if the negotiations had broken
down it would be very serious" He
said failure to settle the :Azerbaijan
problem might post a threat of civil
war;"

OF Teheran, where the delegations
have held their long series of con-
ferences, guard said. ut is over

Azerbaijan Proposals Spurned
In diplomatic quarters there was
no official word on the termination
of the negotiations, but it was SAID
the conference had been stalemated
for several days.
An Azerbaijan cabinet minister
said the break followed refusal of
the central governments cabinet
at a special meeting Thursday to
accept new proposals of the Azer-
baijan delegation, headed by Pre-
mier" Jafar Pishevari.
The nature of these demands was
not disclosed. Recently a spokes-
man for the central governments S
Foreign Office said Pishevari was
making exaggerated" demands
which Iranian Premier Ahmed
Qavam considered contrary to Iran
ian constitutional law.
The TabriZ radio, criticizing de-
lays in the negotiations during the
past several days, sounded a new
warlike note Thursday night, when
it announced that, I'VE are not
ready to give up our freedom, but
we are ready to sacrifice our lives
to preserve it."
The Northwestern Iranian prov
ince proclaimed its autonomy last
November, at time when Soviet
Russian troops occupied the area.
Negotiate in Strict Secrecy.
The negotiations on the Cen
tral Governments proposals to
Azerbaijan have been held in the
strictest of secrecy.
Pishevari, in a telegram to the
Associated Press, indicated he was
not in accord with a policy of
secrecy.
Answering request for an inter-
view, dispatched May S, Pishevari
said there is no obstacle for your
interview from our side"
Prince Mozaffar Firouz, Iranian
director of propaganda, had refused
to permit foreign newsmen to meet

that "Pishevari is too busy to see

1een-Age Draft Fight
lin House Threatens
Senate Stopgap Bill
BY the Assoeioted Press

A new House drive for a bar
on teen-age inductions gathered
momentum today to threaten q
Senate-approved bill continuing
the draft law as is until July /
The move threatened to compli.
cate the uncertain draft picture
even further. for the War Depart.
ment has indicated that substan.
tial portion of the 10000 youths
eligible for induction before July
are of high school age, deferred tc
complete school courses.
It's hackers, however, placed re-
lance on the fact that the House
already has gone on record against
teen-age inductions in any extern
sion of the Selective Service Act.
Representative Sheridan, Demo
crat, of Pennsylvania. who blocked
House action yesterday on the SEN
ates stop-gap resolution for con-
tinuing the draft six weeks beyond
its present May Is expiration date
told reporters he will offer the teen
age amendment Monday when the
House takes up the temporary meas
ure.
Will Seek Total Ban.
The Pennsylvania, only member
of the Military Affairs Committee
who opposed the resolution at yes
terday's committee session, said he
also would seek a ban on all in
ductions during the six weeks ex-
tension period voted by the Senate
When the House on April Is sent
the Senate legislation extending the
draft law until next February Is
it approved an induction holiday
until October Is by a 1922 vote
and ordered ban on teen-age in
auctions by count of 1876 to 96.
Mr.. Sheridan explained that 2
ban on teen-age inductions woulc
protect many of some 10000 high
school and college students holding
deferments until the completion OF
their present school year, late this
month and early in June. He said
he saw no need for their induction
Short Assails Senate,
Representative Short, Republican
OF Missouri, another committee
member. suggested the possibility OF
the House amending the Senate
resolution by substituting for it the
originally passed House measure or
which the Senate have yet to act
Should that happen, the entire SUBJ
ject would be thrown into a Senate.
House conference which administra.
ton leaders fear might not be able
to work out compromise in time tc
save the present law from expiring
next Wednesday midnight.
Mr.. Short accused the Senate OF
passing the buck" to the House on
the draft and other controversial
matters.
THE Senate knew the draft law
was going to expire on May is unless
they did something about it," he told
reporters, yet they have allowed
our bill to lie on the shelf for almost
a month and now they come through
with this stop-gap proposal. We
ought to toss it right back at them.

consideration, to add $250,000 for
the child-care centers.
The measure was resubmitted to
the full committee today after hear
ings yesterday before a special sub
committee headed by Mr. Healy.
District department heads unanim-
ously opposed placing the centers
under their charge although all fa-
vored their retention.
Corning Critical.
DR.. Hobert M. Corning, superin-
tendent of schools, declared incor-
poration of the nurseries within the
school system with parents paying.
as proposed in the Healy bill, would
break down the fundamental
premise of our system of free edu-
cation"
DR.. Corning made similar obiec-
tions to the bill Wednesday at a
House District Committee hearing
and it was to answer such objec-
tons that Chairman Mcmillan
ordered the subcommittee hearings.
He said he was anxious to speed
action on the bill, which would in
sure operation of the day-care cen
tiers after June 30, and wanted it
sent to the House for action Mon
day.
Continuance of the 20 centers is
sought by group of mothers, organ
lied as Child Day Care Centers, Inc,
which obtained funds. largely from
the Community War Fund, after the
Federal appropriation for their
maintenance expired last February
%. With IA of the centers in school
buildings, the Board of Education
has been running them.
Initial opposition of the Board of
Education to continuing operation of
the centers was predicated on their
no longer being wartime necessity.
However, DR.. Corning said yesterday
that if the pay element was elimin-
ated from the Healy measure he
personally could see no objection
to its other provisions.
Huff Opposes Acceptance.
Other department heads who de-
clared operation of the centers was
not in their line included Ray L.
Huff, District Welfare Director. He
testified the Board of Public Welfare
had neither the equipment nor the
personnel for the maintenance of
the nurseries.
Mr.. HUFF said he would "view with
trepidation'' any move to place the
centers under the Welfare Board
unless you give us full means of
caring for them. "
Harry S. Wender, chairman of the
Recreation Board, advised against
turning over the centers to his
groups care, although he said the
"impracticability'' of such a move
would not raise objections on his
part. Carrying on the centers beyond
June 30 is of such paramount i'm
portance to the better part of 1000
mothers interested in them" Mr..
Wender added, that if no other
agency could properly handle them.
he was willing to give it try"
He recommend, however. that the
job be delegated to the Board of
Education, being properly an edu-
cational program.

5 Sports Shutdown in New York Looms as Fuel Supply Falls
Forkos Looks to Coaching Job
At A. IT,; Would Quit Pro Grid

Andy Farkas, Detroit Lion full
back and former Redskin, may give
up the pro game next season to
coach the backfield at American
University, it was learned today. He
was to meet Director of Athletics
Staff Cassell today to confer about
the position, but the outcome of
their discussion hinges on one
rather important item-whether the
Eagles will resume football next
autumn.
The decision is being weighed by
"a committee appointed by DR.. Paul
Douglass, university president, but
alumni are strong for a complete
restoration of all sports and with
their support DR.. Douglass : is ex-
pected to approve its return.
Farkas Wants Part time Role.
If the school does field a football
team, Cassell will be head coach
with Farkas as his assistant if they
can reach an agreement. 1t is no
state secret that Cassell would like
to step out of this role, once things
are working smoothly, to devote his
full coaching time to basket ball and
to the multitudinous duties incum-
bent on his Office as director of ath-
letics. In this event, Farkas would
be in line for the head coaching
berth.
Farkas has made it known that
he is anxious to sign on as an assist
ant at local school. A full-time
position is out of the question at this
time because of his sporting goods
business, which makes a heavy de-
mand on his time, but he could serve
in an under role. Business pressure,
plus the fact that Frank Atkins, his
partner, already has signed to play
With the Redskins next season,
makes it imperative that he quit his
playing role to attend to his affairs.
Ailing Knees Curb Andy.
Farkas was holdout with the
Skins last season because of a pair
