Mai KIDNA ,G, SAYS WALEYATJORNEY Week With Abductors An 'Adventure' for Weyer hauser Lad, Is Defense Contention Had 'Swell Time' SPREADS TERROR Y By Paul Mallon ' WASHINGTON. June 29. A frosh crop of rumors has sprung up about president Roosevelt's health. These suggestions peep out every .time the p o 1 1 1 1 c a 1 technicians here note what they conceive to be a mistake by the White House. The president's press conference suggestion about a constitutional a m endment 1 1 a rt e d them sever a. 1 weeks ago What revived MALLON them Is the slip-up on strategy of handling the new tax legislation. The testimony of presidential phy sicians Is almost worthless. They nearly always swear their patient Is In fine fettle. But any observing per son who has called on President Roosevelt during the last few days will testify that he looks well. He seems to be in relatively better physi cal condition than most congressmen who have shared, the last six harrow ing months of conflict and bickering. Callers have noted that he Is less patient, more Irritable, quicker, less cautious. But that may also be said of nearly everyone else In Washington now that the mid-summer heat has set In. It Is true the president has taken less rest this year. An early spring cruise and a few trips to Hyde Park furnished his only substantial relax atlon. Nothing has been or can be planned for the summer. Ho wants to go to the San Diego exposition by train and return through the Pan ama canal, but cannot be away for anything like the Hawaiian cruise of last summer. There Is too much work. The mix-up on tax strategy Is now being advertised as a misunderstand ing of orders on the part of Mr. Roosevelt's congressional leaders. This explanation has caused specula tion about what happened to Mr. Roosevelt's official liaison agent (Charles O. West), who Is supposed to do nothing except keep Mr. Roose velt's congressional leaders advised as to his Innermost thoughts. ... The answer Is that Mr. West was Just where he should liava been. He waa right on the Job, telling the con gressmen dally what the president wanted. What seems to have happened Is that he did not want the same thing each day. President Roosevelt Is digging up quietly a pile of data to prove his NRA contentions. One curio which bis archeologlsts have unearthed Is a report of the Industrial commission appointed by President McKtnley. ft reported to Theodore Roosevelt In 1803, recommending several steps along new deal lines. One thing It urged waa a graduated scale tax on corporations, which Is now contained In the wealth tax pro gram. The advisability of federal in corporation laws waa also mentioned, and the commission referred sharply to competition among states to offer special privileges to corporations. The argument sounds exactly like the one Mr. Roosevelt made at his constitu tional press conference. The report even deplored the prac tice of large stores offering a particu lar srttcle at prices below cost In or der to attract cusomers. the "loss leader" praclec which the NRA tried to stop. You will hear more about this In coming New Deal speeches. President Roosevelt was reading the papers at Hyde Park one morning on his recent trip. On page one he saw headlines: "Industry keeps codet." On Inside pages he noted specific Itema about wage cuts and hour changes. This led him to decide on an Impartial committee to check all such reports. He wrote Chairman O'Neill of NRA to select men who would be In dependent of NRA and yet above suspicion. The result was the appointment of the strangest of all New Deal boards, the review board. At the head of It is General Fries, a scourger of reds, author of the spider web chart, which listed many liberals as subversive several years ago, former head of the chemical warfare service. As counter .Irritants to General Fries, two Liberals were named ( rather Haas of the labor advisory board. Isador Lubln, commissioner of labor statistics). As counter-counter-irritants, two moderates were chosen (Assltant Commerce Secretary Dick inson. NRA-er John TJpp). If the New Deal really wants to balance the budget It could sell ring side seats for tne meetings of this board and be assured of a larger aud ience than attended the Csncra Louls fight. Tou cannot put anything over on Comptroller General McCart. A motion picture shew which Is op erated for TV A workers at Norrls dam was stopped the other night when government auditors descended on It. They said they were from McCarl's office. They sent checkers through the audience while they went thru the cash register. (Continued on Page tight) BERLIN. June 29.

PALL DOCK WAR LOOMS Longview Mills Reopen On Monday Mediation Hear ing Called Waterfront " Strike Threat in South. PORTLAND, Ore.. June 39. (API Consummation of a union agreement which will send 300 sawmill and tim ber workers' union membera back to work Monday at the Inman-Poulsen lumber mill here was announced to night at the labor temple. This was the first break In Port land of the eight-weeks-old sawmill tie-up, although allied woodworking Industries have resumed under union agreements. Early closing of more agreements was predicted by William P. Wedel, local union president, who made the announcement. The trend back to work was mark ed today by orders of union chiefs for 2300 men to return to work at Longview Monday under union agree ments, and by plans of Tacoma mill owners to expand operations Monday with non-union men under police and National Ouard protection. The agreement with Inman-Poul-sen waa virtually a "closed shop" deal, inasmuch as all but two of the workers belong to the union. The en tire membership of the Portland local union approved the agreement call ing for a 50-cents-an-bour minimum with higher bracket adjustments, time and a. half for overtime after eight hours and appointment by the Portland local of a bargaining com mittee from the workers of the In-man-Poulsen plant. The membership also voted to as sess all Inraan-Poulsen workers 10 per cent of their wages to assist the strikers to carry on with the strike at seven other mills here. , The lumber strike mediation board appointed by Secretary of Labor Per kins met today at Seattle and elect ed Superior Judge Roscoe R. Smith of Seattle chairman. Other members are the Rev. George F. Thompson of Portland . and State Sen. Judson W. Shorette of Seattle. Lumber operators who have com mented on the board protested its ap pointment and expressed unwilling ness to deal with It. However the board announced hearings will start next week. A. W. Mulr, spokesman for wood work ing un ions of the north -west, has made no comment on the board. At least 2300 men, all under union agreement are scheduled to resume work in the Weyerhaeuser and Long Bell mills at Longview, Wash., Mon day. Logging operation In the same area. Including nearly 1000 employes, were declared ready to start later In the week. SAN PRANCISCO, June 29. fp? Sailors today took up the one-ship blockade here, which has threatened to flare Into a renewnl of ynr's bloody waterfront strike, after an other maritime union withdrew Its picket In the Interest of peace. Longshoremen, who had previously refused to pans through the picket line, again turned back as the sail ors appeared to press the siege. The temporary lifting of the block ade on the Canadian steamer Point Clear came when Randolph Meri wether, secretary of the Marine En gineers Beneficial association, an nounced withdrawal of that union's picket. Before longshoremen could ha put to work unloading the vessel, which had been tied up since its arrival from British Columbia nine days ago. the sailor pickets arrived and form ed lines. Another threat to waterfront peace was temporarily averted when San Francisco bay and river bargemen, affiliated with the longshoremen's union, agreed to take a membership vote on proposed abritTatlon of de mands for Increased pay. Result of the vote were expected to be report ed to the regional federal labor board here Monday. Thomas O. Plant, president of the San Francisco Waterfront Employers' organization, which ha threatened to terminate the agreement which ended last year's strike unless the Poln t Clear was unloaded , rene ved his charge that radical union leaders were responsible for the dispute.

AP) A pic ture of kidnaped George Weyer haeuser as having had a "swell time' while in the hands of his abductors so much of a one he almost dis liked returning home waa drawn to day by John F. Dore, wily defense at torney, as he planned his case to win ; an acquittal for Mrs. Margaret Thuiin Waley. Dore attributed to Harmon M. Waley, the 19-year-oldglrl'a husband, who now la at McNeil Island peni tentiary at the start of a 45-year pri son sentence for his -part In the ktd naplng, the statement of he boy's feelings. Waley will be a defense wit ness, sometime after his wife's trial starts on July 5. "Boy, If we hadn't actually taken the ransom money." Dore quoted Waley as having told the laa.

It's go ing to cost money, but if you help out the young folks up to 20 and the old ones over 60, that only gives a fellow a little stretch in between of about 40 years where he has to do any worrying for himself (or her self as the sex may be).
