Lewis Asks 2,000 in Virginia
to Adjust Grievances
Under Coal Pact.
By the Associated Press,
More than 2,000 striking Southwest
Virginia miners considered a request
from John L. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers of America, to
day to return to work and take up
their grievances in accordance with
terms of the newly executed soft coal
contract.
John Saxton, president of District
S8 of the U. M. W., said U. M. W.
locals at Roda, Stonega, Derby and
Imboden would convene today and to
morrow to determine their course.
The miners refused to go to work
last Wednesday in a move to obtain
complete unionization of four col
lieries of the Stonega Coal & Coke
Co. Thursday they were joined by
workers from two mines of the Black
wood Coal & Coke Co., but it was re
ported yesterday one of these groups
already had returned to work and an
other had reached an agreement.
Saxton said Lewis wired the four
Stonega locals to "please convene the
locals, rescind the strike order, place
the mines in operation and then, in
the manner set forth in the contract,
proceed to take up any grievances
with the company and advise him of
the action taken.”
Efforts to terminate the five-week
old strike of 60 millmen and car
penters at the plant of the American
Furniture and Fixture Co., Richmond,
bogged down, meanwhile, when the
strikers rejected a company offer of
• e'-j-cent-an-hour increase in pay
end a 47-hour week.
The strikers said they would con
tinue away from their posts indefi
nitely, pending agreement to their
original demands, including pay at the
rate of 75 cents an hour and a 44
hour week.

Accuser Still Claims Gable Is “Frank Billings”
Left: This picture urns identified by Mrs. Violet Norton, found guilty in Los Angeles yesterday on mail fraud charges for
attempting to obtain money from Clark Gable, as a photo of “Frank Billings,” father of her 13-year-old daughter, born in Eng
land.

ACCUSER OF GABLE
IS FOUND GUILTY
Woman Clings to Belief Star
Is Father of Her
Daughter.
Bs the Associates Press.
LOS ANGELES. April 24—A tall,
solidly-built Englishwoman persisted
today in asserting Clark Gable is the
father of her illegitimate daughter
after her conviction of mail fraud.
Mrs. Violet Wells Norton faced the
prospect of a five-year prison term un
flinchingly in her belief the film actor
was the "Frank Billings” she said se
duced her in 1923.
"She hasn't the sfightest doubt of it,”
said her attorney, Morris Lavine.
"What happened in that court room
hasn't shaken her belief in the least.”
Gable, whose appearances in court
were the signal for a rush of women
to spectators' seats, testified he never
saw Mrs. Norton before and never was
in England, but after her conviction
he expressed regret at the possibility
of her being separated from her child.
Demanded Support.
Mrs. Norton wrote letters to Gable,
to Actress Mae West and many other
Hollywood film folk, telling her story
and demanding that Gable be made to
support her 13-year-old Gwendoline.
A jury of middle-aged business men
required only 1 hour and 55 minutes
to find her guilty of mail fraud. The
law provides five years’ imprisonment
or $1,000 fine, or both.
Lavine. her attorney, said he would
petition for probation, ‘‘so that she
can leave the country.”
"She's a martyr to her belief,” he i
asserted.
fc>ne should have changed her
story after seeing Gable in court I
yesterday. She should have said she j
was mistaken in thinking he was the !
Frank Billings she knew. Then she
would have gone free.”
Lavine's defense was that Mrs. Nor
ton had made “an honest mistake” in
identity.
“But she wouldn’t do that,” the
attorney continued. "The jury almost
had to return a verdict of guilty to
clear Gable's name, as, rightly, it
should be cleared.”
Woman Collapses.
She sat still for a moment after the
court clerk read the verdict. Her
attorney patted her arm, but she
seemed not to notice him. Then,
she collapsed and began to sob
uncontrollably.
Leaving the court room, she met
Gwendoline, also weeping bitterly.
The child threw herself into her
mother's arms and both murmured
words of consolation.
Gable, who was not in court, said
from the film studio, "I was only a
witness in the case and had nothing
to do with Mrs. Norton's accusation.
However, it is unfortunate she has
come to grief in such a manner, par
ticularly because of her children.”
Returned to the county jail, Mrs.
Norton again demanded that the
actor submit to a blood test, for com
parison with her own. She was
extremely excited.
"That will prove my innocence,”
she cried. “They’ve got to do that.”
Frank L. Smith, investigator, and
a codefendant was exonerated of con
spiracy in the case and freed.
Missing Utilities Unit Report
On C. & P. Is Hunted by Engel
A search was started today by Rep
resentative Engel, Republican, of
Michigan, a member of the House
District Subcommittee on Appropria
tions, for a Public Utilities Commis
sion report on the C. & P. Telephone
Co., which apparently has mysteriously
disappeared.
Richmond B Keech, vice chairman
of the commission, gave the special
Tax Subcommittee of the District
Legislative Committee of the House
the impression the other day that the
Appropriations Committee had sup
pressed the report. He said the re
port had been sent to the Appropria
tions Subcommittee during its hear
ings on the 1938 District supply bill,
but had not appeared in the record
of the hearings.
The disappearance of the report did
not concern Engel so much, but he
did become aroused over a newspaper
headline which declared it had been
suppressed.
“We didn't suppress ’anything," de
dared Engel. "There were some re
ports, particularly the one relating to
nepotism in the District service, which
didn't appear in the record of the
hearings because It would have cost
too much to have them printed. These
reports, however, are available for
public inspection at any time.”
Engel telephoned Keech, hoping to
solve the mystery. But Keech only
served to deepen it. He told Engel
the missing report concerned litiga
tion in which the telephone company
had been involved, and had not been
requested by the subcommittee. More
over, he said the report was written
in pencil on yellow office paper.
"Just Imagine,” said Engel, "a utili
ties commission sending a penciled
report to a committee of Congress.
I never heard of anything like it
before.”
Keech, incidentally, is having a copy
of the report prepared for the Tax
Subcommittee for submission Tuesday
when he resumes his testimony.
ANGELUS TEMPLE
Court Awards Roberta Sem
ple $2,000 in $150,000
Slander Suit.
By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES. April 24—Aimee
Semple McPherson's Angelus Temple
echoed today with the warning of a
court of law:
If its officials do not stop fighting
among themselves, It will mean the
end of the temple.
Superior Judge Clarence Kincaid
voiced the warning in awarding 27
year-old Roberta Semple *2,000 dam
ages in her *150.000 slander suit
against Willedd Andrews, attorney for
the temple and for her mother, the
honey-haired high priestess of the
Four Square Gospel.
Ten days of testimony and argument
ending late yesterday revealed a tangle
of estrangements, alignments, accusa
tions, recriminations and intrigue. The
maze reached its climax in Roberta's
charges Andrews publicly accused her
of blackmailing her mother.
Among those who congratulated Ro
berta warmly were her grandmother
and ally, Mrs. Minnie (Mai Kennedy,
and Rheba Crawford, former temple
associate pastor.
Roberta has been estranged from
her mother since last Labor day. Mrs.
McPherson and her own mother, Mrs.
Kennedy, have been estranged for
years. Miss Crawford has a *1.080,000
slander suit pending against Mrs.
McPherson. Mrs. Kennedy has been
aligned with Roberta and her young
lawyer-suitor, Jacob Moidel, former
temple attorney. Mrs. McPherson is
aligned with her new business man
ager, Giles Knight.
All these except Mrs. Kennedy testi
fied at the trial—and Andrews’ attor
ney. Joseph Scott, who nominaed Her
bert Hoover for President in 1928. in
objecting to her presence in the court
room, said she was “like some female
Neptune straddling the Equator.”
Seeks to Enlist Workers
Who Rejected It as Bar
gaining Agency.
B.v the Associated Press.
HERSHEY, Pa. April 24—The
United Chocolate Workers of America
renewed today a drive to enlist in the
union employes of the Hershey Choc
olate Corp. who rejected it as their
agency for collective bargaining.
In an election supervised by the
National Labor Relations Board, the
employes voted almost 2 to 1 yester
day against accepting the union, an
affiliate of the Committee for Indus
trial Organization, as their represent
ative.
Maj. Stanley W. Root, regional di
rector of the Labor Relations Board,
announced the vote: 1,542 against the
union and 781 for it.
Russell Behman. president of the
union, said last night, "We will not
give up our flght to organize the em
ployes of the Hershey Chocolate
Corp.”
William F. R. Murrie, president of
the company, contended the vote
showed workers were satisfied with
their treatment.
The election was the first to be held
in the United States since the Wagner
labor act was upheld by the Supreme
Court. It was called as part of an
agreement April 12 that ended a
strike started at the Hershey factory
April 2.
Finds 10 Oyster Pearls.
TOLEDO, Ohio 04’).—William R.
Neale, member of the Chamber of
Commerce staff, says he found ten
pearls in a plate of oysters he ordered
at the chamber's dining room. The
oysters had been cooked, however, and
all the pearls were blackened and val
ueless. They ranged in size from that
of a green pea to birdshot.

Richmond Considers Law
Providing Medical Exam
ination of Suspects.
By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va., April 24.—Rich
mond's City Council has lor considera
tion a subcommittee's recommendation
that Council adopt an ordinance pro
viding for optional medical tests for
drunken driver suspects before war
rants are issued.
The proposed ordinance was sub
stantially approved by Common
wealth's Attorney T. Gray Haddon
following its recommendation by the
committee last night.
Action of the committee followed a
study of police records which revealed
that convictions were obtained in only
38'2 per cent of the drunken driving
cases tried in Richmond courts since
the first of the year. The records
showed only 47 convictions in 122
cases.

whom the burden of civil responsibili
ties has been lifted, repeatedly has de
clared he has no political interests,
saying. “I’m just a soldier in the
service of my country.”
To Concentrate on Fighting.
The decree s definition of Madrid's
problems clearly marks Miaja's job as
that of beating the insurgents on the
actual fighting front. Government
officials said it put an end to any
possible fear of military dictatorial
authority over the city.
The war fronts about the city were
quiet, save for occasional attempted
coups in various sectors which did not
develop into genuine battles.
Each side appeared to be waiting
grimly for the next move of the other
across the jagged semi-circle of shell
pitted no man's land. Nevertheless,
the dire situation of 3.000 insurgents,
themselves ringed by Miaja’s troops in
University City, gave little hope the
lull would last very long.
The University City garrison has
been cut off from supplies for a week
and a half, despite frantic attempts to
relieve them.
Aviation continued in a leading role
on other fronts. An air ministry
communique said government ships
bombed the Talavera de la Reina
Railway Station, about 60 miles south
west of here, striking a departing
train.
The government air force on the
Aragon front, far northeast of Madrid,
started three fires with bombs in
Zaragoza, one of Franco’s principal
supply bases, during the night, the
communique said. Other airmen of
the same forde also attacked a string
of smaller insurgent-held towns along
the Aragon front.
The twelfth day of bombardment
here yesterday took 20 lives and in
jured many persons, while Madrid's
defending airmen sought to stem the
incessant pounding by bombing in
surgent positions.
EL ORRIO EVACUATED.
HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Fron
tier, April 24 (/P).—A column of Gen.
Emilio Mola's army pressed into El
Orrio today against what semi-official
insurgent reports described as a crum
bling Basque defense of this stepping
stone to Bilbao.
Most of the Basque defenders were
said to have evacuated El Orrio, mov
ing back into the rolling hills to the
west. The village is less than 6 miles
from Durango, through which Mola
planned to send his troops against Bil
bao, 16 miles to the northwest.
At nightfall yesterday the El Orrio
attackers drove into the outskirts, but
encamped there, preferring to await
daylight for completion of the occupa
tion.
During yesterday's relentless push
toward the town a mixed force of
phalangists and requetes scaled a peak
on their flank and ripped down a red
flag.
As a sign of allegiance to General
issimo Francisco Franco’s decree con
solidating both groups, the legion
naires ran the nationalist colors up
the flagstaff while buglers played the
insurgent government’s anthem,
“March Real” (Royal March).
The insurgents claimed capture of
four villages in the precipitlous coun
try 20 miles southeast of Bilbao and
declared another piece of strategy—
the firing of pine forests—had killed
many defenders of the Basque capital.
They were caught in the wall of flame
the insurgents built to ease their ad
vance.
Meanwhile, a force of 1,500 artillery
men, said by insurgent officers to be
members of the regular Italian Army,
advanced toward the Bilbao front
from San Sebastian, 48 miles east of
the Basque capital on the Bay of Bis
cay.
The troops were said to have been
shifted with their armament from the
Madrid front.

Tennesseean Was Roosevelt
Supporter and One of First
T. V. A. Advocates.
Senator Nathan Lynn Bachman, 58,
Democrat, of Tennessee, an adminis
tration supporter and one of the first
advocates of the Tennessee Valley
Authority, died last night at his apart
ment in the Continental HoteL
Friends said they understood a heart
attack caused his death. Dr. J. Rus
sell Verbrycke said he had been a
"little ailing” for a week, but did “not
really become ill" until yesterday.
The physician said he called on the
Senator yesterday afternoon and ad
vised him to go to a hospital. He was
summoned again to the Senator’s
apartment last night, but Mr. Bach
man died before he arrived.
Mrs. Bachman, who was motoring
to Chattanooga, was informed of her
husband’s death at Roanoke, Va.,
where she had stopped for the night.
She told aides of the Senator here
that she would continue to Chat
tanooga, where the funeral will be held
Monday.
Besides his widow, Senator Bach
man is survived by a daughter, Mrs.
Thomas C. McCoy of Asheville, N. C.
Successor to Hull.
Mr. Bachman was appointed to the
Senate In 1933 to fill the seat vacated
by Cordell Hull when the latter was
made Secretary of State. Secretary
Hull today characterized his death as
an "irreparable lo6s." The Senator was
elected for the remainder of the term
in 1934 and won a full term last year.
He was the first 3enator to die since
Congress convened in January.
A former associate Justice of the
Tennessee State Supreme Court, Mr.
Bachman was among an approximate
third of the Senate, membership un
committed on the current controversy
over the Roosevelt court bill.
Although he had not publicly com
mitted himself on the proposal, how
ever, his close associates said he had
indicated some opposition to its prin
ciples.
The tall, broad-shouldered Ten
nesseean became widely known during
his four years on Capitol Hill for his
ready wit as a story teller and for his
distinctive dress. His starched white
shirt never was covered by a vest,
and he always tucked a black string
tie under his stiff collar.
Nine seasons of playing college foot
ball at Southwestern Presbyterian
University, Center College, the Uni
versity of Chattanooga, Washington
and Lee and the University of Vir
ginia gave him & continuing interest
in sports.
He was a favorite companion of
Vice President Gamer and was fre
quently seen in the company of the
Texan at base ball games.
A native of Chattanooga, where he
was born August 2, 1878, and the son
of a Presbyterian minister, Dr. Jon
athan W. Bachman, the Senator was
noted in his youth for his mischievous
pranks, which he once said jokingly
caused him to be "kicked out” of three
colleges.
His distinguished legal career, how
ever, later won for him a Phi Beta
Kappa Key from the University of
Virginia and the degree of doctor of

laws from the University of Chat
tanooga.
He entered law practice in Chat
tanooga In 1899 and continued in that
profession until 1906, wher» he became
city attorney. In 1904 he was married
to Pearl McMannen Duke of Durham,
N. C., a member of the Duke tobacco
family.
In 1912 he was made a State Circuit
Court judge and in 1918 he was elected
an associate justice on the State Su
preme Court.
He stepped down from the bench in
1924 to run for the Senate. Gov. Mc
Alister managed Mr. Bachman’s sen
atorial campaign, but Lawrence D.
Tyson of Knoxville won the Demo
cratic nomination. Mr. Bachman pre
viously had managed several of Mc
Alister’s gubernatorial campaigns in
Hamilton County.
From 1924 until his appointment to
the Senate he devoted his attention
to law practice and political activity.
While in the Senate he voted regularly
for Roosevelt administration policies in
all Senate controversies.
CO-EDS FAIL TO FIND
THRILL !N HOLLYWOOD
By the Associated Press.
LINCOLN, Nebr., April 24—The
glamour of Hollywood held only a
passing interest for four Middle West
ern university co-eds who turned down
parts in a picture, one of them said
yesterday.
"I guess we belong on the Middle
Western plains." said Man Fislar,
University of Nebraska co-ed whose
beauty won her a free trip to Califor
nia and a screen test. “I didn’t quite
like the attitude of people out there.”
Accompanied by June Fleming of
Manhattan, Kans.; Doris Johnson of
Lawrence. Kans. and Catherine
Bretch of Oklahoma City, Okla., she
spent a week on the coast as guest
of a studio.
$27 a Month for Married Men.
University graduates employed on
the engineering stall of an electric
company at Tokyo, Japan, have re
ceived an Increase in pay from $20
to $27 a month because “a man can
not get married on $20 a month,” ac
cording to the president.
Anacostia Group Urges Fund
for Maintenance of
Institution.
The proposal of the House Sub
committee on Appropriations to place
Juvenile delinquents In foster homes
in lieu of maintaining the present
Receiving Home, met with the disap
proval of members of the Anacostia
Citizens’ Association at a meeting last
night.
The secretary was instructed to
write Senator Thomas, chairman of
the Senate Subcommittee on Appropri
ations, asking that an item of $38,000
for maintenance of the Institution that
was stricken out by the Collins Com
mittee, be restored to the budget.
The Tidal Basin as a site for the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial was
unanimously opposed.
On motion of William A. Martin, the
secretary was Instructed to write the
Commissioners requesting that a siren
be installed at the corner of Nichols
avenue and V street southeast and
Good Hope road and Fourteenth street
southeast, as an aid in clearing traffic
for fire engine company No. 20.
When street car tracks are removed
on Nichols avenue southeast and the
street repaved, the association intends
to ask the highway department and
the office of National Capital Parks to
pave the section of Good Hope road
beyond Nichols avenue and leading
into Anacostia Park, it was decided
las night. By paving this section, it
was contended, there would be two
roads leading into the park. At present
the only entrance is the road leading
from the bridge. Capt. Frank M. Dent
and Lorenzo Thompson were appointed
as a committee to confer with Capt.
H. C. Whitehurst and C. Marshall
Finnan, director of highways and su
perintendent of parks, respectively.
The meeting was held in the Ana
costia Junior-Senior High School,
Sixteenth and R streets southeast, and
was presided over by the president,
Edwin Simensen.
