LONDON. March 21. A. warn

leads ultimately to "war and the
destruction of civilization" echo
ed in the British parliament to

ous French and Italian protests
against her treaty violations.
Nevertheless, Sir John Simon,
British foreign secretary, told the
house of commons his plans' to
visit Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler
Sunday are unchanged.
If the Anglo-German talks
prove fruitful, Simon said, all Eu
rope's major powers, Germany
among them, will be called into
conference to work out an inclu

Developments in the increas
ingly tense situation included:
Germany's foreign minister,
Konstantin von Neurath, 'told
shocked French and Italian en
voys "the German government
must declipe to entertain the pro
tests' presented in formal notes.
Britain's house of commons
heard George Lansbury, veteran
labor leader, say the Reich's pol

race which must ultimately
plunge us into war and the de
struction of civilization."

ROBINSON ASSAILS
UTOPIAN SCHEMES
NEW YORK, March 21.-iP)-Senator
Joseph T. Robinson of
Arkansas tonight assailed the
Townsend old age pension bill
and the Long share-the-wealth
plan as "gilded gateways to econ
omic paradise."
The Townsend measure he call
ed a "wild scheme" that would
cost upwards of $19,2QO,000,000
a year to finance and Senator
Long's plan he denounced as fun
damentally communistic and
"dishonest."
The senate majority leader, ad
dressing the drug, chemical and
allied trades banquet, picked the
two proposals apart, point by
point, and said:
"Neither is consistent with rea
son, experience or sound argu
ment. Both are violative of fun
damental and generally accepted
laws.
"Yet because of the distress in
which so many of our people find
themselves they are both looked
upon with favor by many for the
magic which they promise the
improvident and the unfortun
ate." Senator Robinson's speech was
broadcast.

(tfVThe problem of how best to

HOUSE. VOTES H

Would Pay Certificates
Full, Less Any Amount
Borrowed, 'interest
in
WASHINGTON, March 21.-JP)
-Here is the bonus situation in a
few words:
War veterans in 1925 were giv
en adjusted compensation certifi
cates maturing 0 years later.
They represented, in addition to
the pay the veterans got while in
the army, $1 a day for domestic
and $1.25 a day for foreign ser
vice, plus 25 per cent of that to
tal, plus 4 per cent interest com
pounded annually.
The Patman bill tentatively ac
cepted but not finally passed by
the house today, proposed to do
this about those certificates:
Let veterans turn their certifi
cates over to the veterans' admin
istrator "immediately" and re
ceive cash for their full 1945 val
ue. If the veteran had borrowed,
the amount of his loan and any
interest that accrued before Oc
tober 1, 1931, would be deducted.
The cash the veterans got
would be United Slates notes
currency which the bill declares
"lawful money" and "legal tender
in payment of all debts and dues,
public and private."
This new currency for which
no metallic reserve is specified in
the bill would be issued by the
secretary of the treasury.
If prices rose above the 1921-
29 level, or if the secretary ot
the treasury thought it necessary
to "prevent undue expansion of
the currency,'' the treasury could:
1. Prevent the issuance or re
issuance of federal reserve notes;
i. prevent the issuance or re
issuance of national bank notes.
Patman inserted in his bill a
last-minute section making an ap
propriation of the amount of mon
ey needed to pay the bonus. He
says the veterans' administration
now figures it as $2,015,000,000

RIGHJBERG GETS
NEW JOB: HEAD
OE lift BOARD
President Joined by Labor
in Drive For Retention of
Industry Control
Borah flove to Reestablish
Anti 4 Trust Provisions
Beaten in Senate
WASHINGTON, March tl.P)
-Donald :R. Richberg, already a
man of many official titles, was
named by President Roosevelt to
day to head a reorganized NRA
board as part of a vigorous drive
joined in by organized labor
to assure continuance of the re
covery organization.
The president, throwing his
full weight behind the NRA ex
tension campaign, increased the
group which governs the Blue
Eagle agency from five to seven.
One of the new members la Phil
ip Murray, labor leader; the oth
er William P. Witherow, Pitts
burgh industrialist.
S. Clay Williams, present chair
man and; A. D. Whiteside, board
member and New York business
man, plan to retire almost at
once.
It was said on unquestioned
authority that the newest deal for
NRA was made with the full cog
nizance of the American Federa
tion of Labor, despite Its recent
violent attacks on Richberg. The
federation, it was said, was pre
pared to support the president to
the fullest.
William Green made it plain af
ter leaving the White House that
he and other labor leaders had
urged continuance of NRA. He
was accompanined by Sidney HUI-
man, a member of the NRA ad
ministrative board, who today
spiritedly defended the organiz
ation before the senate finance
committee. Hillman predicted
that "chaos" would follow if the
senate failed tp continue NRA.
The senate vote against restor
ing anti-trust laws suspended by
NRA was by a ballot, but
Senator Borah (R-Ida.) had at
tempted to attach the amendment
to the administration's $4,880,-
000,000 work relief bill.
Several senators said t h ey
thought the question should be
considered when NRA's continu
ance is up for decision.
Despite the defeat of the Bor
ah amendment and several other
proposed changes in the work re
lief, leaders said they were doubt
ful whether a vote would come
on passage ot the work bill this
week.
E
OF U. S.
WASHINGTON, March 21.
-Designed to protect United States
industries, especially the lumber
industry of the Pacific northwest,
the Steiwer amendment to the
public works bill providing that
all materials used in public works
projects be American produced,
was written today into the bill by
the senate.
Senator Steiwer (R-Ore) said
he introduced the measure as pro
tection to United States Indus
tries, some of which are faced
with lower tariffs because of rec
iprocal trade agreements already
in force.'
The senator said that in the
agreement with Belgium, the duty
on cement was reduced, making
it possible for cement from that
country to compete with the
United States product for use in
public works projects.
A similar situation possibly
may develop in the treaty with
Canada, the senator said, where
'the lumber industry is faced with
a possible reduction in tariff in
the proposed reciprocity agree
ment with Canada. This amend
ment, Steiwer said, will hold all
public works markets for the lum
ber Industry even though United
States markets are opened to Ca
nadian operators through lower
ing of the duty rates.
Gets 55 Days for

Mahan handed down the sen
fence after Fetsch waived trial
Robert Bollinger of Portland filed
the complaint which charged
Fetsch with possession of stolen
goods. Bollinger reported that 15
other pairs of skates from his es
tablishment were missing but he
did not trace them to Fetsch.

(iP)-The scope of the coastwise
walkout of tanker seamen was
extended tonight when the Mas
ters, Mates and Pilots, and Ma
rine Engineers' Beneficial asso
ciation notified tanker operators
that strike conditions "now pre
vail in tanker groups."
The unions, which include, all
licensed deck and engine room
officers, said they made the an;
nouncement "owing to refusal in
writing from tanker operators to
discuss or arbitrate all working
conditions."
The strike of tanker seamen,
which began March 9 and has
tied up more than 30 vessels along
the coast,' involves a demand of
union seamen for preferential hir
ing of their membership.
The tanker operators, who ear
lier this week broke off all ne
gotiations .with the International
Seamen's union, released a letter
sent the master, mates and pilots
and the marine engineers which
said they- could not discuss or
arbitrate the matter of preferen

Voices From
Spirit World
Heard, Claim
(Copyright 1935, by Associated Press)
NEWARK, N. J., Airport, March
21-WeIrd and muffled voices that
identified themselves as belonging
to the spirits of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle, Wybur Wright and Raold
Amundsen were heard tonight in
the darkened interior of a cabin
plane soaring high over New York
city.
For the first known time in
history, a spiritualistic seance was
held in the cabin of an airliner.
As the plane roared over Floyd
Bennett field a voice which said
it was that of the late Floyd Ben
nett wafted eerily from the two
trumpets in the cabin.
"More fantastic than death it
self," came the voices ascribed to
the late Sir Arthur, thin and un
earthly in quality.
"Recall to Lady Conan Doyle
our. talk .with John Goldstrom
(who was a passenger on the
plane) our chat in Washington
when he first suggested this ex
perience years ago," it said. "Tell
her I am looking after her Inter
ests." The Raold Amundsen voice
told, in answer to a question, how
Amundsen died in the frozen Arc
tic wastes, a mystery that never
has been solved.
"We became lost in the fog over
trackless wastes of ice," said the
voice. "It was jusj as well that I
went when I did. My work was
done."
