Serious Depression
Predicted by Nathan

A major depression within the
next five years with the possibility
OF an overthrow Of the present form
Of government was predicted for the
United States by Robert r. Nathan,
wartime Government ofncial. at a
luncheon meeting OF the District
Junior Bar Association yesterday.
Fascism, socialism and commu-
nism offer tough competition" to
democracy in America, because
majority of Americans stick their
heads in the sand" instead of at
tempting to ind solution to pres
ent economic problems, Mr.. Nathan
said.
He predicted a recession for this
year mot too serious, like the one
we had in 1920-21, lasting nine
months or a year." out said serious
depression would come In five years
unless we do something in these
boom times"
A voluntary decrease in prices on
the part of industry or widespread
wage increases which would be alb
sorbed by industry and not passed
on in the form of higher prices
would prevent a depression, he said.
The firm of economists headed by
Mr.. Nathan has made a report on
the steel industry for the CIO which
has not been nude public but which
is being used by the labor union
now in negotiations, he said.
If negotiations are successful,
which I hope they will be, I doubt
that the report will ever be made
public" he said.
The meeting was held in the El
Patio Restaurant. Sidney Sachs is
president of the association.

Georgia Senate Group
Refuses 10 Speed
White Primary Bill
BY fhs Assoeiatsd Press

ATLANTA. Jan. 31.-A special
Senate Judiciary Committee re-
buffed Herman Talmadge yesterday
in his demands for high-speed en-
actment Of white supremacy legis-
lation, and announced four days of
public hearings on the bill to bar
Negroes from Georgia primaries.
The committee, preponderantly
made up Of anti Talmadge Senators,
postponed recommendations on the
House-approved bill to remove pri-
'maries from State control and make
them exclusively club" affairs Of
the party. Instead, the body an
nounced that supporters Of the
white primary" would be heard
Monday and Wednesday and oppo-
nents would be given equal time
Tuesday and Thursday.
Spokesman said the committee
probably would spend one full day
writing amendments, thus postpon-
ing consideration in the Senate un-
til February 10.
Assignment of the bill to the Sen
ate Special Judiciary Committee was
regarded as direct rebuke to Mr..
Talmadge, who publicly urged Tai
madge followers to bring pressure on
the Senate for swift enactment Of
the House bill.
William Dean, Senate president
pro tempore, had two other alterna-
tive committees-General Judiciary
and State of Republic-both with
pro- -Talmadge membership. Instead,
he chose the Special Judiciary group,
Of which only l among IS members
is outspokenly favorable to Mr..
Talmadge.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Talmadge's rival
for the disputed governorship of
Georgia claimed that Talmadge
forces were seeking compromise.
1t. Gov. M. E. Thompson, who
claimed executive authority after
resignation Of Gov. Ellis Arnall, said
James Page, Talmadge appointee as
State Parks director, had ap-
preached him to inquire If there
was not some way In which Herman
Talmadge and I could get together" I"
Mr.. Thompson said he replied: IF
Herman Talmadge will step down
and let me act as Governor of
Georgia for two years as the con-
stitution provides, we will be in per-
feet agreement that Herman Tai
madge is right In getting out"

sion.
This was emphasized at meet
ing of the Undergraduate and

Association, the Board of Health
and the District Medical Associa-
ton, as well as the practical nurse
group.
Higher Standards Seen.
Miss Mary E. Bednarick, president
of the Practical Nurses Association,
has sent word to the Districts
practical nurses to support and
lobby for the passage of this bill,
which will raise the standards of
our profession, will make it proud
profession, and will help to get our
profession recognized" She pre-
sided over the meeting last night.
Mrs. Elizabeth Earl, chairman Of
the legislative committee of the
Graduate Nurses Association ex-
planned provisions Of the bill. She
said she foresees opposition to the

tional and training schedules of all
practical nurse training schools so
that graduates can fully meet the re-
quirements for licensing"

expand the present five-nurse ex-
amining board to seven-nurse
board, the added two being from

and a member of the Board Of Edu-
cation, urged the women to organize
q strong group and fight for their
rights. He pointed out the great
present need for practical nurses
today especially for work In homes
and In the hospitals.
1.-THE graduate registered nurse OF
today" he said, sis specialist, an
oficer in one of the services, or is
in a supervisory position in the
hospitals. Hence her place must be
taken by the practical nurse. WEI
need trained practical nurses bad
ly."

nurses, aides and practical nurses
during the war was cited by DR..

AH Council 10 Reject
Solid Front With Clio
On Aniiunion Laws
BY james Y. Newton
stor stoff corresoondent

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 31.-The Amer
ican Federation of Labor will reject
fatty a CIO invitation for q solid
labor front against union restrict
ing legislation under consideration
In Congress, 1t was learned here
today.
This decision will be announced
by the AFL Executive Council today
or tomorrow. The council is hold
ing its annual winter meeting here.
CIO President Philip Murray sew
eral weeks ago invited the AFL and
independent railroad brotherhoods
to join the CIO in an all-out fight
against a vicious" antilabor move
ment in the country typified by the
congressional drive to pass various
restrictive measures.
Wants No Ties With CIO.
The AFL attitude, several council
members said, is that while it is
fully aware of the antiunion move
ment and completely opposed to the
bulk of bills introduced in Congress,
it nevertheless prefers to wage its
own battle and not be tied to the
CIO.
1t was understood the council will
blast the CIO anew for dividing
labors house" and for responsibility
for acts which have brought down
the wrath of Congress on unions.
The AFL governing body rejected
resolution passed on by its re-
cent convention urging Congress to
break of relations with Franco
Spain. AFL President William Green
said the council decided not to 60
that far at the present time. The
council said that whileAdt opposed
Frances methods, the way of deal
ing with Spain should be left to
the Government.
Amnesty Resolution Rejected.
The council also refused to concur
in a convention resolution asking
amnesty for all conscientious OBJ
jectors.
Mr.. Green announced that the
International Transport Workers
Federation, largerly British, had in
vited AFL transport unions and in
dependent railroad unions to join it.
The invitation, extended to q total
of about $500, 900 American workers,
was referred to the various unions
for action. Mr.. Green said that
should AFL transport groups decide
to afiliate with the international,

AFL organizers. Mr.. Green said the
raise would amount to about $40 .

now ranges from $50 to 500 q week.
