Roosevelt’s Intimation He
Will Urge Legislation May
Put Off Adjournment.
aBy the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt’s intimation that
he soon would recommend wage and
hour legislation caused Democratic
leaders today to shove back the pros
pective date for adjournment of Con
gress.
Because of prospects of indefinite
Senate debate on the court reorgan
ization bill, some of them had pre
dicted that other major items on the
administration program would be left
over until the 1938 session.
In the last few days, however, the
- President has indicated a determina
tion to pursue N. R. A., A. A. A. and
T. V. A. objectives this year. The
three items might add several weeks
to the legislative calandar.
t He has prepared a message to go to
Congress this week reaffirming his
belief in national planning of the type
being carried out in the Tennessee
Valley.
Norris Has Bill Ready.
Senator Norris, independent, of
Nebraska, is ready with a bill to out
line in detail what the President prob
ably will deal with in general terms.
This measure, contemplating seven
regional authorities like T. V. A., prob
ably will cover flood control, naviga
tion, conservation and power develop
ment. House leaders Indicated pro
longed study of the questions involved
might force the legislation over until
the next term. They were awaiting a
statement of the President's position,
however, before concluding whether a
postponement would conflict with his
wishes.
Legislators especially interested in
agriculture were wondering what the
exact administration position would be
on the new surplus control and price
stabilization bill proposed by farm or
ganizations.
^Noting that the suggestion came
from farmers’ spokesmen, the Presi
dent said yesterday that, by and large,
It appeared to follow principles fa
vored by the Agriculture Department.
Chairman Jones of the House Agri
culture Committee said the bill woyld
have to be examined carefully in hear
ings before Congress would undertake
to replace the soil conservation act.
Plans May Be Deferred.
• Despite repeated predictions of wage
and hour legislation, the fact the Pres
ident had not moved in that direction
earlier led some members to believe
It might be deferred. After the Su
preme Court upheld the Wagner act,
there was speculation over whether the
problem would be left entirely to col
» lectlve bargaining by labor.
Asked about it as reporters crowded
his office yesterday, the President said
for the first time that he would ad
dress Congress on the subject soon.
This was taken to mean that a
decision is approaching on whether
to have the bill include provision for
fair trade practice agreement by in
dustry.
The impression prevailed at the
Capitol that the administration pre
ferred Jo have child labor banned in
such a general bill rather than deal
With it separately. Some members
said they believ ed trade practice ques
i lions would get separate treatment.
The Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee received testimony yester
day in support of several child labor
bills, but members disagreed over the
type of legislation that might be ap
proved by the Supreme Court.

Labor
(Continued From First Page.)
nounced yesterday they would shut
down their plants, affecting 79,000
workers, if the union called a strike
against them.
Murray said Republic’s men at
Aliquippa included:
J. L. Williams, superintendent of po
lice, with ofpces in Cleveland; Capt.
Edward Todd of the Buffalo plant,
Lieut. John Keiffer of the Buffalo
plant, Lieut. Fred Rhodes. Capt.
Joseph Gilroy of Canton, Ohio; Capt.
Millard Hannan of Warren, Ohio;
Charles Fette, superintendent of the
company’s tube works at Youngstown.
Murray's statement continued:
“Every man mentioned here has
been or is now in Aliquippa.
“I further charge that practically
every man I have named was at one
time on the police force of Jones St
Laughlin Steel Corp. or employed in
the mills of that corporation at
Aliquippa.
"° * * It is a strange situation
when an ‘outside’ steel company
sends its police and thugs into the
home town of another steel company.
Such information must have been
known to officials of Jones St Laughlin.
“* * * We are prepared to invoke
the Wagner labor act to maintain
peace. Jones & Laughlin has agreed
to sign a contract after the election.
One of these days Republic Steel is
going to have to do the same thing.
“But befoae that day we want Re
public's workmen and the general
public to know what to expect, in light
of the Aliquippa developments.”
tuvai unions maae uiaims.
Rival unions issued conflicting
claims of victory at tomorrow’s Jones
& Laughlln election
Joseph Timko, sub-regional director,
predicted the union affiliated with
Lewis’ Committee for Industrial Or
ganization would win, ‘‘nine to one,”
in the Pittsburgh plant in tomorrow’s
election.
Paul J. Pismato, secretary of the
Pittsburgh Works Employes Associa
tion, declared that heads of that inde
pendent group “feel jubilant over the
prospects of winning the election,"
while spokesmen for the United Iron
and Steel Workers at Aliquippa said
the balloting “would reveal the weak
ness of the S. W- O. C."
Murray Changes Tactics.
Meantime, in a sudden change of
tactics, Murray told representatives
of the Crucible Steel Co. of America
he would agree to a contract similar
to that signed last March by steel
producing units of the United States
Steel Corp. and adopted since that
time by 120 companies independent
of United States Steel.
These contracts ree cognized the
Lewis union as collective bargaining
agent for its members only.
Less than a week ago, as J. & L.—
third largest independent—yielded to
the strikers' demands and agreed to
the election, Murray announced that
henceforth the union would demand
sole collective bargaining rights. The
union leader made no statement ex
plaining the tactical change.
He agreed to wait until next Mon
day for an answer from Crucible.
This, his associates said, meant that
if there were no contract signed then
a strike would be called; or, if an em
ployes’ election is held, the right to
represent all workers would be de
manded, as was done in the case of
J. & L.
The J. & L. workers will vote in
“bone dry” areas—bars and liquor
stores were ordered closed for the
day—solely on the question of whether
they want the Steel Workers’ Organiz
ing Committee to represent them as
collective bargaining agent.
It will be a “yes” or “no” vote.
Director Ernest J. Dunbar of the
Regional Labor Board promised the
results would be made known Fri
day.
Slaughter House
(Continued From First Page.)
Clarke protested. He added that the
bill, if passed, would cause "an in
nocent property owner to suffer more
than $1,000,000 loss.”
Charging that the bill was un
constitutional, the attorney said It
was “morally wrong to legislate a
concern into the poor house."
It was at this point that Palmisano
moved a reconsideration.
Claims Exaggerated, Seal Says.
During the lively discussion that fol
lowed, Corporation Counsel Seal
brought to the committee’s attention
the suggestion that the claims of pos

sible loss by the Gobel Co. were ex
aggerated.
"The combined property of the com
pany on this site is assessed at $70,776
and the company asked for a reduc
tion in this assessment,” said Seal.
"If the company paid $1,400,000
for this property, it was not worth
that much,” he added.
The plea to wait on the Senate Dis
trict subcommittee was protested by
Representative Nichols, who said he
could see “no reason for alarm” over
the action Just taken.
Representative Quinn also Joined
in the protest to delay action.
Senate Hearings Cited.
"The Senate committee has been
holding hearings to expedite this case,
and it seems ridiculous to appoint
another committee in the House to
conduct hearings," he said. "The
Senate hearings soon will be com
pleted and available for this com
mittee.”
Before permitting a vote on the mo
tion to reconsider, Chairman Norton
called for a statement from Corpora
tion Counsel Seal, who was an in
terested observer.
Seal read a statement he had pre
pared last Saturday setting forth that
the effect of the bill would be to
prohibit the Gobel Co. from execut
ing its construction permit, but in
sisted the bill was aimed at all in
dustries characterized as "potential
nuisances.”
Referring to the steps which led
up to the issuance of the permit to
the Gobel plant. Seal said the Zoning
Commission had no alternative under
the law. The new regulations adopted
last November, he explained, would
prohibit a new slaughter house from
being established in the District. The
pending legislation, however, would
take from the Zoning Commission
any question of discretion in issuing
a permit, Seal pointed out, and pro
hibit such operation through legisla
tive action.
Seal Tells of Park Projects.
Briefly, Seal outlined the park im
provements in the vicinity of the
Gobel property.
“The District Commissioners, who
are in favor of this bill, feel it would
be undesirable to locate a slaughter
house there,’’ he added.
“The Commissioners would never
have issued the permit in the first
place if they had not been compelled
to do so by mandamus proceedings in
court,” Seal explained. "They had no
alternative.”
Seal explained that after the Com
missioners had required certain plumb
ing qualifications for the Gobel com
pany to meet, the firm withdrew the old
mandamus suit and filed a bill in
equity, claiming $50,000 each in dam
ages from the three Commissioners.
During the discussion of the District
Commissioners’ action. Representative
Palmisano took up their defense.
"Let’s be fair,” he said. “The Com
missioners had no alternative under
the law but to issue the permit. They
couldn't do anything else.”
The question of compensation to
the Gobel company, repeatedly
brought up in the Senate hearings,
was raised by Representative Dirksen.
He pointed out the lack of an amend
ment to the bill providing reimburse
ment to the slaughter house firm for
possible loss of this property. He said
the bill either should carry an amend
ment of this kind or other legislation
should be Introduced.
Seal said he was not opposed to
reasonable compensation, but pointed
out that the Norton and King bills
were constitutional and similar legis
lation had been upheld in a Louisiana
slaughter house case.
A delegation of Southern Maryland
farmers who ship live stock to the
Washington market Is expected to lead
the parade of witnesses before the
Senate District Subcommittee this aft
ernoon. These farmers, it is report
ed, will oppose the bill.
The subcommittee, incidentially,
may report on the result of its in
spection trip at Benning on Sunday,
during which the members—Senators
McCarran of Nevada and Tydings of
Maryland, Democrats, and Austin of
Vermont, Republican—surveyed the
site of the proposed Gobel plant and
questioned residents in the Immediate
vicinity.

Wheat Holds Alley Dwelling
Act Constitutional in
Condemnations.
Officials of the District Alley Dwell
ing Authority rested secure today in
the first Judicial assurance of the con
stitutionality of their slum clearance
program.
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat of
District Court upheld the validity of
the alley dwelling act late yesterday
in condemnation proceedings insti
tuted by the authority to acquire five
houses located on two alleys running
between Eighth and Ninth and E and
G streets southwest.
The American Security & Trust
Co., trustee for three of the pieces of
property, contested the proceedings,
contending Congress was without
authority to authorize the talcing of
property for slum clearance. Argu
ments were heard yesterday afternoon,
Attorney George C. Gertman repre
senting the trust company and Henry
H. Glassle, special assistant to the
Attorney General, appearing for the
authority.
vjci uiian conieijpea uie purpose or
the Government in talcing the prop
erty was to remode! the houses and
sell to individuals, and that this «bs
not a "public use." He also pointed
out that the alley dwelling act is
intended only to eliminate alley habi
tations and not to take property
fronting on alleys which is used for
other purposes. The utmost exercise
of power which should be permitted,
therefore, would be to require owners
of alley property to eject their tenants
and utilize the property in some other
fashion, Gertman asserted .
Chief Justice Wheat disagreed,
however, holding the legislation was
desirable, salutary and in the interest
of public health.
The Government attorney said the
purpose of the act was “to eliminate
the hidden communities in inhabited
alleys of the District of Columbia in
the interest of public health, comfort,
morals, safety and welfare.”
This is a legitimate purpose of the
Federal Government in its function
as the government of the District,
Glassie argued.
CHILD WELFARE GROUP
GETS SURVEY REPORTS
Findings Summarized by C. C.
Carstena—-44 of Every 100,000
Cared for in Foster Homes Here.
Reports on a survey being made of
local child welfare agencies were sub
mitted at a meeting of the Child Wel
fare Committee of the Council of So
cial Agencies yesterday.
The reports were summarized by
C. C. Carstens, executive director of
the Child Welfare League of America,
who said the number of Washington
children being cared for in foster
homes, 44 out of every 100,000, is
higher than in many cities. One pur
pose of the survey, he said, is to de
termine whether this figure is too high.
It was announced -the proceeds
from two lectures by Mrs. Martin
Johnson at Constitution Hall May 28
will be used to help defray costs of
the survey.

HUFF IS SWORN IK
ASD.C.PENALHEAD
Prison Bureau Official to As
sume His New Position
on June 1.
Ray L. Huff, parole supervisor for
the Federal Bureau of Prisons, today
accepted appointment as general su
perintendent of District penal insti
tutions and took the oath of offioe
at the Board of Public Welfare.
He will assume his new duties June
1 or shortly thereafter, depending on
how soon he completes his work In
the Justice Department, It was an
nounced.
Huff's acceptance was submitted to
the Commissioners after the Civil
Service Commission had approved a
reallocation of the post, raising the
salary grade, now ranging from *f,600
to *6,500, to the next highest step,
*6,500 to *7,500
District officials revealed that such
a reallocation had been requested 18
months ago by the Welfare Board
and had been approved at the time
by the District Personnel Board and
the Commissioners. It was sent to
the Civil Service Commission for ap
proval in connection with the recom
mendation of the Welfare Board for
the appointment of Harold E. Donnell,
Maryland prison head. The Com
missioners then decided to retain
Capt. M. M. Barnard in service and
the Civil Service Commission was
asked to lay the salary request aside
for later action, according to District
Auditor Daniel J. Donovan.
Change Made Today.
When Maj. Donovan returned to
work last week, after an extended
sick leave, he asked the Civil Service
Commission to act on the old pro
posal and approval of the change was
announced today.
In his letter of acceptance, Huff
told the Commissioners:
“In this appointment I believe that
much weight must be given in recog
nition of the prison policies of Con
grees and of the Attorney General, as
they are expressed in the practices of
the Bureau of Prisons, with which I
have been associated. These direct a
strictly merit policy to make prisons
serve the community in as wide an
area as is possible, consistent with
their primary purposes of custody and
rehabilitation.
“I will take counsel under the guid
ance of the Commissioners and the
Board of Public Welfare and look
forward to accomplishments which
will be the results of the work of
the prison stafj as a whole.
To Lf^e at Lorton.
“It is a great privilege to succeed
Capt. M. M. Barnard, who has given
a large portion of his life in loyal
devotion to the public service of the
District.’’
Huff said he planned to make his
residence at the cottage for the penal
superintendent at the Lorton Re
formatory. For this reason, it is ex
pected that his wife, Mrs. Florence
Huff, shortly will resign her position
as supervisor of the Pennsylvania
avenue station of the Public Assist
ance Division.

welfare, said the Welfare Board had
recommended 18 months ago the up
ward reallocation of the salary of the
penal director because of the “in
creased complexities” of the Job. He
cited the fact that in recent years,
since the District was required to con
fine at Lorton hardened criminals of
a type previously sent to Federal
prisons, it had been necessary to build
a walled lnclosure. This broke down
to a large degree the "honor system”
on which the reformatory originally
had been founded.
Barnard Still Serving.
Street also said the penal director
of the District has more prisoners
under his charge than any of the Fed
eral prisons and that a larger appro
priation was necessary for the opera
tion of the reformatory, the work
house and the jail than was required
for any of the Federal prisons except
Leavenworth, Kans.
Other District officials explained
that new salary allocation approved
for the District penal directy were
the same as applied to the Federal
wardens.
Capt. Barnard, who applied for re
tirement last Winter, ended his serv
ice April 30. He reached the age of
75 April 4. Paul L. Kirby, assistant
director of welfare, will continue to
serve as acting penal director until
Huff assumes his position.

EX-JUDGE, AT 82,
ON TRIAL FOR LIFE
Green Allen Brooks Will Plead
Defense of Family in Depu
ties’ Slaying.
By the Associated Press.
JONESVILLE, Va., May 19.—
Eighty - two - year - old Green Allen
Brooks, who said he was a Tennessee
circuit judge a half century ago,
planned to plead defense of his family
when his trial on charges of killing
two deputy sheriffs is called in Lee
County Circuit Court today.
The courteous, bewhiskered octo
genarian was arrested in Lubbock,
Tex., and returned here in March
to face the charges of fatally shoot
ing Deputies Arch Redmond and Bob
Bailey in July, 1935.
Brooks said the shooting followed
the officers’ visit to arrest Luther
Poore, his son-in-law, on a Bell
County, Ky., warrant. His action,
he said, was prompted by fear the
deputies would "hurt Mr. Poore se
verely and possibly endanger other
members of the family.”
After the shooting, he made his
way from his Cumberland Mountain
home into Harlan County, Ky., and
later went to Texas, he said, remain
ing a fugitive for nearly two years.
Brooks, vigorous and bright eyed,
has had "thousands” of visitors since
being returned here two months ago,
Jailor Pat Oiles said.
Sheriff R. F. Giles of Lee County
said after the arrest in Texas Brooks
Immediately waived extradition and
said:
“I can come back to Virginia and
take it like a man.”
Brooks had told visitors to the Jail
here he was circuit Judge in Hancock
and Union Counties in East Ten
nessee from 1877 to 1883, later an
officer, school teacher, traveling sales
man, farmer, Middlesboro, Ky„ mer
chant and Sunday school worker.
