his solitary cell block last night at

boy as Donald Threlkeld of Hanni-

The two boys had been placed in
solitary confinement in adjoining

Archbishop Seeking
To Mark Labor Day by
Settling Film Strike
Az the Associoted Press

LOS ANGELES. Sept 1.-Arch-
bishop John j. Cantwell of the Los
Angeles Catholic Archdiocese asked
principals in the Hollywood f1lm
strike to celebrate Labor Day by
ending the long dispute and ar
ranged melting today to attempt
such settlement.
With Gods help, We pray that
Labor Day will see the dawn of peace
in the Hollywood film industry" the
Archbishop said in a telegram to
film producers and union chiefs.
In the spirit of Labor Day, it
would be fitting commeration to
settle the Hollywood labor dispute"
said the wire in which the church
leader asked management and union
men to meet this afternoon in the
Beverly Hills Hotel with the Arch
bishops representative, monsignor
Thomas O'Dwyer
Two Unions Accept.
Last night Monsignor ODvyer
said acceptances for the meeting
today had been received from
Herbert K. Sorrell, head of the
striking AFL Conference of Studio
Unions, and Joseph F. Cambiano,
representative of William L. Hutche-
son, international president of the
AFL Carpenters Union which is a
member of Mr.. Sorrell's CSU.
He said acceptances had not been
received from Richard Walsh, in
ternational president of the non.
striking AFL International Alliance
of Theatrical Stage Employees, or
the producers. However, Msgr.
ODwyer said the meeting would
take place and that he was con-
fdent all three groups-the two
rival AFL factions and the produc-
ers-would be present.
Earlier Mr.. Cambiano had an
nounced that he had received full
authority" from Mr.. Hutcheson to
act in a settlement of the strike so
far as the carpenters are concerned.
Mr.. Sorrell said he had received
similar authority for the painters
from their international chief, L. F.
Lindelof.
The carpenters and painters are
two main groups in the Conference
of Studio Unions which is feuding
with the IATSE unions over which
film craftsmen should have the work
of certain set construction. The CSU
leaders claim that pproximately
4,5o0 of their men are on strike at
the present time.
Answer Kearns' Plea.
Mr.. Cambiano and Mr.. Sorrell
made their statements on their au-
thority to seek settlement of the
labor dispute in answer to plea for
a peace meeting made by Repre-
sentative Kearns, chairman OF a
House Labor subcommittee which
has been investigating the labor
situation in Hollywood.
Mr.. Walsh replied to Mr. Kearns
request by saying he believed Holly
wood studio labor problems are too
complicated to hope for any disposi-
ton except as result of top level
negotiations.

Mr.. Sharp said Owens was serving
a term for delinquency by reason
OF automobile theft, and Threlkeld
was under two-year term for de-
linquency. He said both boys had
records of numerous escapes.
Col. Leroy Munyon, school super
intendent, recently gave his resigna-
ton to the State Board of Training
Schools. The resignation is effec-

This was unofficially attributed

with being a vital factor in the
decline, the spokesman said.

Opponents of the measure based
chief objections on their statements
that it is step towards "socialized' l.
public housing and that it would
put the Federal Government back
into the housing business
The issue was settled by roll
call vote in which the District group
cast its 27 ballots in favor Of the
minority report. But it was de-
feated, 2,796 to 722.
The delegates ducked a contro-
versial issue when they tabled a
strongly supported resolution To pro-
vide pensions of $72 month for all
veterans who reached the age of 60.
The motion later was amended to
provide said veteran is not avail

of disa bility or age"
But a vote of 2,478 to l,l08 ended
the argument.

Another surprise move, passed un-

controversial regulation to deny
Legion membership to anyone OPP
posed to our form of government" ;"
Mr.. O'Neil a World War l veteran
and police chief in his home town,
defeated three other candidates in
heated campaign that ended the
Legion's twenty-ninth annual con-
vention here last night among them
was Joseph J. Malloy. 40, Washing
ton attorney, and veteran of both
world wars.
The new commander said his
organization No. fight this year
would be for passage of universal
military training. and asked that
Congress be brought back into ses-
sion to act on the program.
Before he was elected. however,
delegates heard a public charge
that Mr.. O'Neil was a hand-picked
favorite of Legion "kingmakers."
Wins on First Ballot.
The charge was made by Paul M.
Herbert, lieutenant governor of
Ohio. who nominated Mr.. ONeil's
closest contender, Martin Coffey,
of Middletown. Ohio Mr.. Herbert
referred several times to the
selected machine" and urged that
methods of machine politics be
wiped out of the Legion"
Mr.. O'Neil won on the first ballot.
as he polled majority of the $500
delegates votes before half the
states had voted. Remaining dele
gates quickly jumped on the band
wagon, and the other candidates
unanimous.
In a day that was marked by
heated uprisings and faring tempers
the biggest fight came over support
of the Taft -Ellender- Wagner long
range housing bill. 1t lost after a
two-hour battle.
While delegates indorsed the
Justice Department current real
estate investigation. the principal
action taken was to instruct the
housing committee to study the
housing situation and report find

constituted the Legion's sole housing
stand at the 1916 convention.
Row Over Housing.
The housing arguments began
when several members of the Hous-
ing Committee submitted a minority
report urging passage OF the Taft
Ellender-W Wagner bill. Resolutions
IN support of the measure we're in
troduced by seven delegations, in
Guiding the Districts but were
vetoed IN the ma ajority report.
The forceful minority report
bluntly charged that the only ma
tional organizations that have seri-
ously opposed this bill other than
the American Legion, are those who
have a pecuniary interest in real
estate
