He issued the following "state went of principles:" "I will conduct the business of Marlon county with due con sideration for the welfare of the whole body of citizens, rather than that of a selected few.

Representative Martin's report- ' ed Inclination back toward the Jeoaniy clerkship was discussed in tome circles as resulting from a cool reception by men and women voters: alike to the prospect of a woman sitting as Judge of a po lice court.

Lowe, in an nouncing the opening of the 40 week course next week, said he thought It was the largest labor relations college ever established. A similar course, tentatively tried out last year for 24 weeks, brought out such improvement in factory functioning that the broader movement was decided upon. The course will consist in part of 40 lectures. Speakers will in clude labor leaders, professors, in dustrialists, editors and represen tatives of the public.

York Hangar t. 0 Sweeping Changes In NLRB Favored Removal of Board Is one Item in Proposal of Group's Majority By DONALD A. YOUNO WASHINGTON, March 7.- -A 17-point plan to replace the national labor relations board with a new agency and to make other major changes la the Wagner act setup was laid he fore an election-year congress today by a special house com mittee which Investigated the board. Representatives Smith (D Va). Halleck (R-Ind) and Rout zohn (R-Ohio), a majority of the committee, contended that the program would remove causes of the long and bitter controversy over the board and the act. but said the fundamen tal right of workers to bargain collectively would remain un touched. Representatives Healey (D- Mass) and Murdock (R-Ctah). the other two committeemen, heatedly dissented, arguing that the proposals "threatened the principles, purposes and objec tives of the act." This basic division within the committee, symbolic of the spilt in congress, immediately raised the question whether both the house and senate would act on amendments before they ad journ and go to political con ventions in June and July. Administration leaders kept their counsel while critics of the board and law saw only a slim chance that both chambers would act before adjournment. There was no Immediate com ment on the program from the labor board, the AFL or CIO. Chairman Norton (D-NJ) of the house labor committee, to which Smith's amendments were referred, predicted that they would not pass In the house but called a committee meeting for next week to discuss procedure. The proposals of the committee majority would authorize Presi dent Roosevelt to name a new board of three members. He might. If he chose, reappoint the present members, Chairman J. Warren Madden, Edwin S. Smith and William Leiserman. But the majority would permit the new agency to sit only as a Judicial body, placing administra tion of the law and prosecution of violations In the hands of a new officer, an administrator, who would have no organizational con nection with the board. This pro posal recalled complaints that the board had been acting as "judge, prosecutor and Jury." Healey and Murdock said in a separate statement that the ques tion of a new board should be held in abeyance until the com mittee completes its investigation. They disclosed, however, that they had recommended that the pres ent board be increased to five members. The nearest the majority and minority came to an agreement was on a proposal to relieve the board of the duty of determining an appropriate bargaining unit in cases where the labor organiza tions disagree. Healey and Mar dock objected only to the major ity's phraseology on this point.

The action came after Sir Klngsley assured the members that he and Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, were fighting Germany, not each other, and thtta apparently an incipient row over agitation for giving coastal units of the air force Into navy control. The air minister was aided in his efforts to keep the RAF under his unified direction by a day of new exploits in driving off German air raiders and scouting German cities, and by British-French reports which boasted of growing air strength and naval supremacy. Victories Reported In the air Itself, British pur suit pilots shot down a German warplane in the afternoon off Scotland and drove off two others tonight off eastern Eng land and lonx-ranee scouts dur ing the night flew over German naval bases, ports and cities without loss despite anti-aircraft fire. Air Minister Sir Klngsley Wood, presenting air estimates for "the greatest expenditure" of ita kind in British history, told the house of commons that Brit ish-French aircraft production now was ahead of Germany's both in quality and quantify. Simultaneously French Nary Minister Cesar Camplnchl In a survey of six months of war as serted that the British and French navies had broken the back of Germany's threat to block the sea lanes, saying "the allied naval supremacy is better than ever." Submarine Toll Heavy In reciting the exploits of the French navy, the nsvy minister in Paris said the 1309-ton de stroyer S 1 m o u n "has just brought to a dozen the number of nati submarines lost" a fig are which with British successes have the allies together a total of about 50 destroyed. Sir Klngsley gave the house of commons a highlight survey of the royal air force in present ing estimates whose total figure was not disciosed but hidden behind the request for a 100 ($400) token appropriation in keeping with wartime secrecy. He said the production of Spitfires and Huiricanes, Brit ain's No. 1 and No. 2 fighter planes, had been doubled since ths outbreak of war and that the output of the bigger and heavier bomber types had been Increased by 50 per cent. Of quantity. Sir Klngsley ex pressed confidence "that even on a numerical basis the output of aircraft now accruing to us and to France today Is in excess of that of Germany." Of quality, he said that "I would sooner have 100 Welling tons (a bomber type) or Spit fires or Hurricanes tnan a mucn larger number of their German counterparts." Widow Complains Admirer Is Slow Taking the Hint CHICAGO. March 7.-(;P)-As far as the Widow Hatzenruehler is concerned, love and Charles Herrmeyer don't mix. She had her 68 year old admir er haled before Judge Mason Sul livan today for a judicial Inter pretation of what she has been telling him for the last 10 years, to wit: "No." "He rings the back door bell, then he runs around and rings the front door bell," Mrs. Hat zenbuehler complained. "Then he runs back to see if he can get in the back way." "Aw Rosie." Herrmeyer plead ed, but the object of his affections ignored him. "And he breaks windows," she said. "Once he broke eight of them all there are In my home trying to get in." Judge Sullivan put Herrmeyer under a $5,000 peace bond and gave him some xooa ior tnougnt "Maybe she doesn't love you,' the court said.

Franco-Americans Called to Service NEW YORK, March T-(ff)-The French consulate general la New York said today an undisclosed number of naturalized American citizens of French birth had been called for French war duty. Some Franco - Americans, the consulate announced, had been under the impression that their United 8tates citizenship would exempt them from military obli gations to their motherland. A spokesman for the consul ex plained the summonses were based on a French nationality law of 1927 requiring a national who may be subject to military obli gations to obtain government per mission before he can surrender French citizenship. Unless hs does so, he is still a citizen of France regardless of later naturalization. It was explained. The consulate said France did not intend to force such citizens to return to France but that those who ignored the call would be considered "defaulters' and be subject to pounlshment If they ever returned to France. Farley Proposed As 'Favorite Son' WASHINGTON, March T.-(P)-Postmaster General Farley was proposed today as New York's favorite son candidate for the presidential nomination by Rep. Martin J.

Kennedy asserted that he be lieved President Roosevelt would not run for a third term and urged Lehman to "give notice to the demands of the liberal and progressive group within our party" for Farley's nomina tion. He referred to recently pub lished reports that President Roosevelt had told an unnamed member of congress that If Far ley were nominated religious prejudices would be stirred up and the campaign might end in another Al Smith debacle." Kennedy said these reports had "aroused great indignation and resentment at the capltol" but added: "I cannot conceive of Presi dent Roosevelt suggesting the religious issue or saying any thing about Jim Farley other than words of great praise."

Dr. Williams' vitamin, ranking with vitamin B-l as one of the few known life essentials, is the first to be discovered. Isolated and produced entirely In Amer ica. He discovered It in 1933; It was isolated in 1939, and Is called pantothenic acid. Pantothentie acid's possibilities as an aid to human and bacterial life are, in J he main, unknown. Testa hare shown' it a potent stimulant to fertillgy of hen eggs. Williams' method of creating it artificially and comparatively in expensively has led to renewed research as to its potentialities Powerful Stimulant It Is so strong an aid to cell growth that an ounce placed in 7,500,000 tons of testing mixture has multiplied the cell count by four. The acid became the tenth vitamin discovered since C. Eljk man, a Dutch scientist, reported the discovery of vitamin B-l in 1906. Synthesis of the acid is de scribed in "Science," official pub lication of the American Associa tion of Science. The authors are Dr. Williams and Dr. Randolph T Major, research director for the Merck laboratories In New Jersey, The vitamin's manufacture was accomplished by breaking It into two molecular constituents which can be produced artificially. Wll liams and others, notably Doctors E. T. Stiles, J. C. Keresztsey and J. Flncklesteln of the Merck lab oratories, collaborated In the work. The Texas chemist sheared from the acid's complicated struc ture one constituent which he identified as "beta alanine." The New Jersey scientists Identified the second cleavage product as a substituted butyrolactone of un usual composition. One Man THt It An Records show the acid vitamin to be the first on which all re search discoveries are credited to one man. Dr. Williams. Born in India in 1893 of missionary par ents, he has worked 20 years on this research problem. Among 10 known vitamins, pan tothenic acid has proven an essen tial compound in the machinery of living matter. Thiamin (B-l, the anti-neuritis vitamin), ribo flavin, and nicotine acid (the pel lagra-preventing vitamin), are thought to be but extensive proof has not been offered. Vitamins A, C. D, E, and K either are not or have not been shown present in all types of organic tissue. Williams' work, originating at Oregon 8tate college, was fi nanced by the National Research council. Standard Brands, Inc., of New York, the Rockefeller foun dation and the University of Tex as. Recent tests showed that hatch- ability of eggs dropped from 70 to three per cent when the acid was removed from hens' diet. Until Its synthesis difficulty of recovering the acid from animal liver extracts limited research. Extended processing of 250 kilo grams of liver yielded only about three grams of crude acid which could be purified only with the greatest difficulty. Williams credits as vital factors in the success of his projects, the assistance of colleagues "each of whom spent years of work on the problem." With him at Oregon were John H. Truesdall. Carl M. Lyman, Ewald Rohrmann. Harry H. Welnstock, Jr., and Herscnel K.
