to welcome industry, but not wait
for it. We were going to develop
our own farm processing plants.

Report Asks Congress Curb
On Film Labor Disputes

A House Labor Subcommittee
urged Congress today to make sure
that disputes like the AFL's long
standing family feud at the Holly
wood motion picture studios never
occur again.
The report on the disput, which
several times resulted in violence
outside the studios, was submitted
by Representative Kearns, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, and was
signed by former Representative
Lands Republican, of Indiana. Mr..
Kearns and Mr. Lands, who was
defeated in the last election, investi-
gated the union jurisdictional fracas
which has been in progres, off and
on. for years
The argument is over construc-
ton of movie sets. 1t involves a
number of ALL building craft
unions, principally the Carpenters
Brotherhood, one one side, and the
AFL International Alliance of
Theatrical State Employees, known
as IATSE, on the other. 1t in
VOWED several hundred jobs.
The American Federation of
Labor should try to make amends
in the motion picture industry dis
pute, even at this late date" wrote
Mr. Kearns, himself member of
the AFL Musicians Union. The
United States Congress should take
all steps within its power to insure
that this sort of thing should . =
never happen again."

Court Backs Ad Ban
On S7.95 Diamonds

The United States Court of Ap-
peals has upheld a Post Office De-
partment ruling that advertisements
Of a New York firm for s7e5 diamond
rings are fraudulent.
The decision, which means that
mail fraud orders issued by the Post
Office Department are not governed
by the administrative procedure act
touched off an investigation by the
United States attorneys Office on
its possible effect on other laws. The
administrative procedure act applies
only where hearings are required by
statute. The fraud order statute does
not require such hearings, although
one was given in the ring advertise
ment case, the court said.
Yesterdays appeal decision against
the M. g. l. Ring Co. and Lomo
Novelty Co. and others in New
York, affirmed a District Court rul-
ing which granted judgment in
favor of the Government and upheld
the fraud order.
The ring advertisement las a
whole the appellate court held,
with the rings pictured as a part,
would, in our opinion, most prob
ably lead the ordinary mind to the
belief that the rings contained
genuine diamonds so cut or polished
as to produce sparkle and brilliance,
whereas in fact they were rough,
industrial diamonds not commonly
used in ieWelry.'

life for the triple murder of John
Niebel, So, head of the Mansfield
reformatory farm, his wife, Nolanda,
and their daughter, Phyliss, 81.
Daniels posed and talked readily
for cameramen and reporters when
he was captured. He Dragged to
neWSmen:
Give me credit for the Niebels."
Among the witnesses at the execu-
ton was Sergt. L. D. Conn, Van
Vert policeman, who was wounded
seriously in gun duel with Daniels
