Washington, Dec. 15. Wl Edwin S. Smith, member of the national labor relations board. said today that the board had engaged in "extra-legal" activ ities of mediation and concilia tion not provided for in the Wagner labor act. He told the house committee investigating the board and the act that this work had been carried on as "what, might be described as a hangover" from the NRA days when the old labor board engaged in media tion and conciliation services, immediately aner the new board was created, he testified, many cases remained to be dis posed of "as a matter of tra dition, . but recently, he said, that practice had "faded away" and the board now believes such activities should be cur tailed. Documents Filed. omun was called as a com mittee witness while Edmund M. Toland, committee counsel, was placing in the records, doc uments which he said were in tended to show that Smith was "Interested" in settlement of a strike at the Berkshire Knitting Mills, Reading, Pa., although the board had not been involved of ficially. Union Literature. Much of the matter was union literature, and Smith said "some of it" was sent to Louis Kir- stein, a vice-president of Filene's store In Boston, where Smith was once employed as a Der. sonnel manager. He said he did not desire to he "captious or indefinite" but he could not recall Dositivelv just which of the union papers were iorwaraed. The handbill said: "Ask your storekeeDer or merchant where the hosiery he wishes to sell you, no matter what its name is, was made." 'Ihe handbill 1 sted 45 hranric of hose which it said were union-made. Toland began Questioning Smith by asking his opinion of me ngni or tne board to enenffp in conciliation and - ITlPdial inn activities. After explaining the carryover from NRA riav Smith said: "Tradition" 'They were carried on as a matter of tradition, and it grad ually iacied away. It is the Intent of the board that those activities should be curtailed." rlep. Halleck (R-Ind). a com- mittee member, called attention to the fact the present board was operating under the Wag ner act, rather than under the invalidated NRA. and sueeested the mediation and conciliation activities were "extra-legal." "Kxtra-legal," Smith rcnlieri "in the sense that there was no specific authority to handle some cases that were handled as mediation. Takes a Hand Halleck inquired whether Smith was trying to take a hand in settling the Berkshire strike. To the extent that the corre spondence indicates that, that as so," Smith replied. He referred to communica tions previously placed in the record between a union official and Smtih, and to Smith's letter to an official of a Boston depart ment store suggesting that any stand "you might adopt" in ref erence to the strike "would be listened to with the deepest respect" by the company.

T AT PAUL MITT Too Old To Fall For Trap Says President Keeping Eye on Graf Spee Incident BY PLANE TO KEEP PERFECT RECORD Pendleton, Ore.. Dec. 15 if) Theodore Prockett, 17, -ot: ooy stationed at Camp ouuaw creeK. 2U miles at rf here, was happy today but convinced that hitch-hiking is quite a sketchy business. About November 30 he left tor Brooklyn, N. Y.. via th inumn route to visit his folks his leave to expire at noon today. All went well until he reached Toledo, Ohio, on his return trip. There his funds gave out, his thumb went on tne bum and he was stranded, hungry and facing the prospect of a dishonorable discharge as one of the boys who went "over the hill." I Fund Raised But Santa was in the-air and a newspaper reporter told his friends and relatives of his plight. They raised a fund of $125 to pay his way back to Pendleton, via train and Diane. The last stage of the triD was made this morning when he rode into the round-up city on the United Air Lines shiD that maae a landing at 10:30 a. m. an hour and a half before his time limit was up. A CCC truck was on hand and U. S. Miller, airport man ager, said, "He high-tailed it for the truck the minute his feet hit the ground." Over long-distance telephone Lieut. I. K. Davis, commandant at Squaw Creek, said Prockett was in camp at noon and "all is well." Hyde Park. N. Y., Dec. 15. UP) President Roosevelt de-1 clined today to comment on Sec retary Ickes' criticism of Paul ; V. McNutt as a possible can-1 didate for the Democratic pres idential nomination. The president, talking with ' reporters shortly after he ar rived from Washington, de-l clared he was too old in polit- j ical experience to comment on ; Ickes' statement that liberals would not support McNutt's candidacy. Mr. Roosevelt said the game was to get people to comment on this man and that man and the third man and the fourth man. He said that by a gradual process of elimination reporters would have the whole story. Then he reiterated he was too old to fall for that. He said he might have fallen into such a trap 25 or 30 years ago. Watching Graf Spee The president declined to comment on the running bat tle between three British war ships and the German pocket battleship Graf Spee off the coast of Montevideo, Uruguay. He added, however, he wou'rt keep in constant telepho. -touch with the state depaii- ment Mr. Roosevelt was asked di rectly whether he, as a liberal. agreed with Ickes' views regard- I ing McJNutt. He replied quickly that of course there was noth ing to be said on that. Under questioning, he then added his remarks about being too old to fan for the game of comment- i ing on this or that candidate. it PAY LESS and PARK EASIER" at the MM RET HOME OF BATTLE CREEK HEALTH FOODS Open 24 Hours a Day Including Sunday 313-315 North Riverside Phone 358 FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE WE ARE OPEN 24 HOURS A DAY!
