Of Machine Hours are
Points at Issue
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3 (AP)
Deputy,, Administrator Pickard
of the national recovery adminis
tration said today manufacturers
and labor representatives would
meet here Friday to attempt
reaching a final agreement on the
pulp and paper Industry code.
The question of a minimum
wage and limitation of machine
hours, which were protested at the
recent public hearing by labor
representatives, was expected to
be the biggest problem to be set
tled. Manufacturers appeared at
the hearing substantially agreed
on other provisions, and labor
spokesmen said they would not
protest the 40-hour week provided
in the code.
NRA officials, saying they ex
pected little dispute to delay ap
proval of the : code prophesied
manufacturers and labor leaders
would compromise on the mini
mum wage provisions.
The code provided a minimum
of 35 cents per hour for men and
30 cents for women in the north,
32.5 and 27.5 cents respectively
in the central states, and .30 and
25 cents in the south. Matthew J
Burns, president of. the Interna'
tjonal brotherhood of paper mak
ers, asked a minimum of 42 and
38 cents in the north, 40 and 36
cents in the central zone and 38
and 34 cents in the eoutb.

Lump sum Offer for Final
v Settlements Expected;
Maybe 10 per Cent
WASHINGTON, Oct 3. (AP)
Bearing what officials confi
dently expect to be a lump sum
offer for settlement of the British
war debt, representatives of the
London government arrived to
night to seek a reduction of the
amounts due the United States.
While Sir Frederick Leith Ross,
chief spokesman for the British
treasury, remained in New York
with friends, his associates, T. K.
Bewley, declined to discuss the
sum in contemplation, although
rumor has placed it at about ten
per cent of the principal still un
paid, or, roughly $300,000,000.
Sir Ronald Lindsay, ambassa
dor to the United States, said he
would like to have it emphasised
that debt represented only actual
war expenditures by the British.
Definite arrangements for the
conferences had still to be made,
with indications they would not
begin until early next week at the
soonest.
Sir Frederick Is tentatively
scheduled to call upon President
Roosevelt Thursday and his ap
pointment at the treasury prob
ably will be arranged soon after

For the United States, the
spokesman will be Under-Secretary
Acheson of the treasury and -fir.

VIENNA. Oct, 3. (AP)-

As it was, the two bullets from
the gun of Rudolf Dertil, a for

him slightly in the left arm. Doll
fuss, after receiving treatment at
a hospital, went home within an
hour.
The question immediately ask
ed: MWas he a' .Nazi?" still was
not definitely answered tonight.
Socialist newspapers headlined
the accusation that Dertil was a
Hitlerite, while on the other
hand the pro-Dollfnss newspaper
Weltblatt Identified him as a
member of the Schutzbund, the
dissolved socialist military organ
ization. Police late tonight again em
phasized that the prisoner's poli
tical affiliation had not yet been
determined, adding that the for
mer corporal had voluntarily re
signed from the army after three
years of service.
