WASHINGTON. D. C. Oct. 3.
Senator Rufus C. Hoi man. Junior
Oregon togaman, has returned to his
desk (seat mate Ohio's Taft), to
listen to the debate on neutrality,
which Interrupted his one-man In
vestigation of immigration at the,
source. Airplanes, transatlantic lin
ers, coast guard cutters, ferryboat,
trains and automobiles were his
means of transportation -
Following his probe. Senator Hoi
man Is more firmly convinced than
ever that something should be done
about this immigration business. It Is
hut opinion that the mill run of
Immigrants are not valuable contri
f buttons to the American people.
The senator did not attempt to
conceal his Identity, and when offi
cials discovered his mission he was
smothered with attention and defer
ence: he was surrounded by so many
blue uniforms and brass hats that
they formed a screen.
THEY gave him a coast guard cut- ;
ter; they took him out to sea and
he scrambled up the Jacob ladder to
the deck of an Incoming liner carry
ing 2600 passengers, hundreds being
Hens. Hoi man talked, or tried to
Interview them, but as he knows
nothing but English and few of the
Immigrants apeak that tongue, the
Oregon senator was stymied until his
demand for Interpreters . was an
swered. To Ellis Isle he went with the Im
migrants, learned with what alacrity
they enter the country was so In
terested that the big ferryboat plying
between Ellis Island and New York
was held 20 minutes, to the disgust
cf some hundred passengers thus ln-
mt .Tiber of the United States senate
and has a voice on . appropriations
for the Immigration service, and Is
not entirely satisfied with the way
Secretary of Labor Prances Perkins
runs the immigration b..reau.
STILL tracking the aliens. Hoi man
landed In the slums of New York
where he heard almost every tongue
hut English. He believes that the
slums of the large cities are caused
by the Influx of aliens who fall in
with groups of their fellow country
men and huddle in the metropolitan
areas Instead of striking out for the
open spaces. Having caused the
slums, the Immigrants have added to
the burden of American taxpayers by
the present slum clearance program.
And while Senator Hoi man was In
quiring into the efficiency of the
Immigration service, Grover Cleveland
Bcrgdoll. No. One draft dodger, was
telling the army he passed through
the Immigration officers six times,
entering and departing from the
United States, although there was a

note of that.

Two occupied coaches and two

Meanwhile equipment was rushed

hours delay, southern Pacific of

Passengers from the southbound
Oregonian and the following west

to the northbound train No. 20 (the
Klamath), which was- held .at Black

to head back to San Francisco. The
Klamath's passengers, meanwhile,
were to be transferred to the West

Its direction, heading to Portland.
ON PEACE EFFORT
ROME. Oct. 3. (AP) Well-informed
Italian quarters said today
that It was unlikely Foreign Minister
Count Galeazzo Ciano's conversations
with Adolf Hitler would lead to any
immediate peace move on Italy's part.
They said the Italian government
would not lend itself to a futile ges
ture which promised no success un
der present conditions. They asserted
it was difficult to conceive of any
German peace proposals which would
be acceptable to France and Britain.
Count Clano returned by train
from Berlin at 10:20 a. m. (1:20 a.
m. PST) and immediately motored
to Premier Mussolini's office, where
he conferred with II Duce. Then he
attended a cabinet meeting.
In Italian quarters the next move
was expected to come from Hitler,
who It was thought would outline
his peace proposals through his
relchstag speech this week.
Council To View

meet tonight to put the 1940 budget

FOR LABOR PEACE-FOR
L UNITY SAKE
CINCINNATI, Oct. 3. (p) Presi
dent Roosevelt, renewing his appeal
for labor peace, told the American
Federation of Labor today that for
national unity the APL-CIO negotia
tions he sponsored last February
"must be continued" until a -settlement
Is reached.
In a message to the federation's
50th convention, the president satd
"these are trying days" and urged
the peace committees of the rival
labor groups to negotiate a peace be
tween them for the sake of "na
tional, unity,!. .-
The negotiations begun last March
with a momentous conference at the
White House were broken off early
in April and in June CIO leader
John L. Lewis announced peace ne
gotiations with the A PL were "Im
possible;" that peace as such was
secondary to CIOs primary purpose
of organizing the unorganized.
In requesting the negotiations go
on, Mr. Roosevelt said:
"If It is hard to continue It ts
all the more a challenge to the
members and leaders of these labor
bodies to their capacity to serve
the workers of America to their ca
pacity to put aside pride and self
advantage In patriotic service for
national unity In this time of trou
ble and distress."

Htrlctly cash Aim
In another development. Senator
McNnry, of Oregon, the Republican
leader, said that a strenuous effort
would be made to amend the ad
ministration's neutrality legislation
so a strictly "cash and carry" basis
would govern the sale of materials
to belligerents,
McNary said he believed there was
'quite a bit of sentiment" In the
senate against a clause which would
authorize the president to permit
American sellers to extend ordinary
commercial credits of 90 days for
purchasers of supplies.

LONDON, Oct. 3. (AP) Prime
