Raps Morgenthau Action
in Approving Activity
of Magruder
Maryland Revenue Chief
Will Get Attention
From Senate
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6-(ff)-Tbe
senate campaign expenditures
committee told Secretary- of the
Treasury Morgenthau in sharp
language today that he was wrong
in approving political activity ny
the Internal revenue collector at
Baltimore. -The committee added
that it would ask the senate to act
on the case. t . I ,
The collector, M. Hampton Ma
gruder, has acknowledged telling
xton-civil senrice employes In his
office that he intended to support
Representative David J. Lewis,
later defeated for the democratic
senatorial nomination by Senator
Millard E. Tydings.
Secretary Said -A
ction Proper
When the senate committee
called Morgenthau's attention to
this : recently, he saidthe collec-r
tor's action was proper and had
had his approval.
To this. Committee Chairman
Bheppard (D-Tex) replied today:
"The committee does not agree
with the position taken by the
secretary.
; "On the contrary, the commit
tee believes the action of the col
lector of internal revenue was a
violation of the spirit, it not the
letter, of the law; that it was a
breach of the treasury depart
ment's own regulations; that it
was violative of sound administra
tive principles; that po excuse is
to be found for it, and that the
action of the collector Is to be se
verely condemned." I ,
Legislators said the committee,
if it wished, could ask the senate
to pass a resolution censuring Ma
gruder or recommending his re
moval. It also might consider
jemedial legislation covering such
cases. '
Arkansas Case , .
Investigated
The committee also announced
It would report to the senate its
findings in an investigation of
charges that" Homer M. Adkins,
Arkansas collector of internal
Tevenue, was guilty of undue po
litical activity in the senate cam
paign In that state.

The committee said it found no
support for charges that He'nry W.
Webb was dismissed from the
post of Maryland FHA director
because he refuted to support
Lewis.
It considered reports fromTsev
en other states, voting to investi

i NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-ff)-One
of the most unorthodox lives of
the Christ in existence is to be
published tomorrow, seven years
after the death of its author. Hall
Caine, the English novelist.
s jThe book, of 1310 pages, con

s rCaine's research, begun in the
80's, had piled up more than
three million words of text at his
death in 1931. In addition, most
of his best selling novels were
based on Biblical material -"The
Deemster" is the story of the
prodigal son; "The Scapegoat" of
David and Uriah; "The Eternal
City" that of Samson and Delilah.
The life . of Christ was three
years being put into typewritten

Labor Study Body I
Broun's Proposal
Head of Newspaper Guild
Suggests Commission
to Roosevelt ;
HYDE PARK, N. Y., Oct. 6-(5)
-A recommendation for the; ap
pointment of a special commis
sion to Investigate domestic labor
conditions in the hope of bringing
peace to labor's factions was
made today to President Roose
velt by Heywood Broun and Mor
ris Watson of the American News
paper Guild, who reported. he was
giving the matter consideration.
Broun said the commission
might, make a study of labor con
ditions at home similar to that
made recently by a special fact
finding committee In Great Brit
ain and Sweden.
Like that which investigated
abroad, the proposed new group
would make no recommendations,
Broun said, but it might contrib
ute materially to labor peace by
making known facts on the pres
ent situation. i i
Besides reporting on organized
labor, the commission would
study the problems of unorganized
workers. r Farmers would be con
sulted to ascertain whether their
interests paralleled those of labor.
He added that creation of a
special commission would avoid
the necessity for a peace gesture
by either the American Federation
of Labor or the Committee for
Industrial Organization. ?

Proposal to erect a state Indus

nounced here Thursday. i
The building also would house

Funds for construction opera

sion and the unemployment com
pensation commission.
Title to the structure would re
main with the industrial accident
commission until such; time asiit
was paid for. Title would then
pass to the state:
The public utilities commis
sion is now paying rent to a pri

mission is paying rent to the Sa

! Construction of the proposed
new building would make : it pos

A plea to "work for those who

in Marlon county last night. The
plea was sounded by Carl C.

as toastmaster at the party ban
quet sponsored at the Marion

and the county central commit
tee. ;
"Oregon is Just as much In
back of Roosevelt now as ,ln
1936," declared Henry L. Hess,
democratic nominee for governor
and principal banquet speaker.
Citing his record as state sen
ator, Hess declared he had al
ways been a liberal while "many
candidates in the opposition
party are trying to put. on a coat
of liberalism." I
Hess firmly denied he planned
any purge of state employes and
added that if elected it would
be his "purpose to put more
people to work, both in industry
and in the state departments of
Oregon." '
' Oregon can best solve its un
employment problem by , taking
advantage of federal assistance,
Hess declared. He expressed
doubt of the state's ability to
meet the problem alone and said
he believed "in the balancing
of budgets in the Roosevelt man

Special Assessment for
Organization Work
Is 'Approved
Typographical Delegates
Seated After Appeals
by Green
HOUSTON, Texas. Oct. 6-UPl
Delegates to the American Fed
eration of Labor convention, fac
ing the prospect of more intense
rivalry with the CIO ' in - the in
dustrial field, voted Unanimous
ly today to retain for another
year a special assessment for ex
panded organization work. :
The recommendation of the
executive council . that the fed
eration continue the levy of one
cent a member a month, was en
dorsed without a dissenting
note. j
Federation officials estimated
the levy would raise close to
1500,000 to finance the extension
of the AFL organizing drive, not
only in the craft unions, but in
fields where Industrial unionism
is suitable, such as cement, alum
inum manufacturing, textiles,
chemical, lumber and agricul
ture. - ; , ,
"Even Greater '
Gkins" Foreseen ' '
Applauding the federation's
organization drive In the past
12 months which cost the AFL
91.171,014. President William
Green assured the delegates they
could "look forward to' even
greater gains In the next year.
The convention leaders brought
the special assessment matter to
a vote after the convention
agreed earlier In the day to ap
prove conditionally the disputed
credentials of the International
Typographical union delegates,
whose organization had refused
to pay the assessment.
Responding to the plea of
Green not to force 1 the printers'
union out of the federation, the
convention voted unanimously to
seat the ITU delegates "on pro
bation" until they decide by a
membership referendum whether
they pay up a special assess
ment levied a year ago as an af
termath of the split with ; CIO.
The AFL constitution provides
suspension of membership' for
any affiliated union three months
or more in arrears on dues or
assessment payments. j j
Referendum Vote
To Be Awaited
To avoid an arbitrary setting
aside of the constitutional! pro
vision. Green and Claude G.
Baker, new president of the ITU,
appealed to the convention to
seat the delegates until the ref
erendum recently initiated by
the Chicago ITU local settles the
long standing controversy j over
payment of the special assess-
ment. , i
i Tb4 credentials committee rec
ommended seating the ITU del
egation, and Green threw his
force : behind temporary settle
ment by shouting to the conven
tion: ' - : ' 1
"We are not so foolish in these
days when a dual secession move
ment is facing us, as to drive
the ITU out i of the American
Federation of Labor by extend
ing a helping hand to the ITU
