Last-Minute Changes Made
in Message as He Plans
Return Here.
By tfie Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, N. Y„ June 1.—
President Roosevelt gave his attention
to both foreign and domestic questions
today as he prepared to end a three
day visit to his Dutchess County home.
He continued to watch the critical
events growing out of the Spanish
Civil War, receiving reports from State
Department officials, with whom he
talked by telephone three times yes
terday.
Last-minute changes had been made
In his special message to Congress
recommending tightening of the law
to prevent income tax evasion and
circumvention. It was due to be trans
mitted during the day from the White
House in Washington to both houses.
Concern was expressed informally
In temporary White House circles over
a possible spreading of the Spanish
War, although official comment was
■withheld.
No statement was expected during
the day. The customary Tuesday
presidential press conference was
called off when it was learned Mr.
Roosevelt had nothing of importance
to talk about with the newspaper men.
He will leave here late tonight and
arrive in Washington tomorrow morn
ing. Officials said his head cold had
disappeared completely as a result of
rest and lots of sunshine.
In his shirt sleeves, he sat for sev
eral hours on the lawn of his Val-Kill
cottage late yesterday and ate hot
dogs at a picnic he gave for White
House newspaper men and photogra
phers. He did not go in the outdoor
pool, but watched several members of
the party swim and play deck tennis.
Then he got behind the wheel of a
specially built new car and drove about
5n yards to a charcoal fire where the
picnic lunch was served. He sat in a
lawn chair for another hour chatting ■
w ith his guests as they sat around him !
on logs.
After the party he drove the car
over the winding lanes back to his
mother's home, on the western side of
the Albany post road.

Illinois and Indiana persisted, al
though Gov. Horner expressed confi
dence there would be no further out
breaks of violence. He declared op
posing forces had pledged observance
of the rules of “peaceful picketing."
The Memorial day quiet along the
strike front lasted scarcely from dawn
to dark before fresh skirmishing broke
out around Republic's plant at Warren,
Ohio, where corporation airplanes "have
been skimming over the picket block
ade to get provisions to beleaguered
workers.
There was a clash of clubs and iron
bars and three men were treated for
head injuries after an estimated 300
loyal workers rushed from the mill
and drove off about 40 pickets.
The sound of guns shots at Warren
brought charges from Republic that
"gunmen in the picket lines" were
firing on the food planes again. There
were also reports of answering fire
from within the plant grounds, stoutly
denied by Republic. An obvious tense
ness in the area made it one of the
threatening spots along the wide front
from Chicago to Buffalo, with at least
73,000 workers idle over demands for
a union contract.
LEWIS CHARGES "MURDER.”
Declares Chicago Riots Are “Blot on
National Conscience.”
John L. Lewis, chairman of the
Committee for Industrial Organi
zation. charged today the Republic
Steel Co. and the Chicago police force
! were “guilty of planned murder" in
j Chicago's week end steel strike vio
: lence.
Dispatches from Chicago said five
persons were killed in the Memorial
day strike riot. Lewis' office said six
were killed.
Lewis asserted that “the brutal mas
sacre of the Chicago steel workers is
a blot on the national conscience.”
"They were unarmed,” he said in
a prepared statement. “The killing
took place on the open prairie, six
blocks from the gate of the sacred
property of the Republic Steel Co.
Six men were killed, a hundred others
were shot, gassed and clubbed. Not
a single policeman was shot. Those
who were injured suffered from the
naked hands of men who were fight
ing for their lives against armed
killers.
“The Nation knows the Chicago po
lice force is corrupt. It is the same
force that for years has protected
the hoodlum and the thug. It now
aids the Republic Steel Co. This
company and the police force are
guilty of planned murder.
"Somewhere in this Nation should
be a force strong enough to bring 1
these uniformed killers and their con
spirators to justice. Somewhere In
this Nation should be a force greater
than a steel company. Somewhere in
this Nation should be enough earnest
and honest citizens to compel action
by the Federal and State authorities.
"Can it be true that striking work
men may be shot at will before the
very agents of the law? Is the blood
of our American workers less valuable
than that in Spain for which we
weep? Is labor to be protected, or is
it to be butchered? The answer is
important to both labor and America.”
Earliart

lifted it easily into the brilliant tropi
cal dawn.
Just before the take-off, her hus
band, George Palmer Putnam, leaned
into the cockpit to kiss her good-by
and shake hands with her navigator,
Capt. Fred Noonan, who is to ac
company her on the 28,000-mile West
to-East journey.
The blond aviatrix, in plaid shirt
and tan slacks, exuded confidence and
smiles but Putnam, after leaving her
side, paced nervously back and fourth
along a balcony until her ship got off
the field. With him were his son,
David, and the young man's wife.
Putnam planned to remain in
Miami until his wife reaches Natal,
Brazil, her jumping-off place for
Africa. A commercial airline (Pan
American) will monitor her flight over
its regular route to South America
and expects to have reports on her
progress.
Miss Earhart planned to cruise the
1.033 miles to San Juan at a leisurely
150 miles an hour to test her plane
further, and said she would return to
Miami if anything went amiss.
Reports Everything "O. K.”
The aviatrix radioed at 6:40 “every
thing o. k.” And that she was pro
ceeding. Her position then was some
i where south of Miami but was not
i taken definitely.
Aboard the silver-colored craft were
emergency food provisions, a rubber
j lifeboat and lifebelts in case of a
forced landing at sea. The tanks of
the ship, a land plane, were equipped
so that they could be emptied quickly
and would serve to keep it afloat.
Miss Earhart considered the 600
gallons of gasoline aboard as more
than sufficient for the San Juan hop.
although it was little more than half
the 1,150 gallons capacity. The same
plane crashed with her at Honolulu
last March on her first globe-circling
attempt when the landing gear col
lapsed under the weight of the heavy
load of fuel.
Route to Be Followed.
From San Juan, Miss Earhart was
to follow the Pan American Airways
route to Natal. Brazil, from there to
attempt a South Atlantic crossing to
Dakar in Africa. From Dakar she
planned a direct flight to Aden on
the Gulf of Persia, thence to Karachi.
India, Port Darwin, Australia, and
Lae. New Guinea. She mapped a
course across the Pacific in three hops :
—to Howland Island, Honolulu and
Oakland, Calif.
The woman flier said she reversed
the order of her first attempt because
w'eather conditions over the Caribbean
and Africa probably were better now
than they would be later, and she
wanted to cover that part of the trip
first.
On her first attempt Miss Earhart
successfully flew the 2,410 miles from
Oakland to Honolulu, setting a new
record for the crossing. It was on
the take-off from Honolulu that the
landing gear gave way, causing con
siderable damage to the plane.
The repaired ship was delivered to
her May 20 and she left Oakland next j
day, coming here by way of Tucson, j
Ariz., and New Orleans on what she
described as a "shakedown flight." !
She spent all of last week supervising !
adjustments to the ship and made
several test hops.

don totaled nearly $500,000 the first

OFFICE WORKERS
GET C10LCHARTER
Effort Made to Organize
Banking, Insurance and
Other Employes.
Organization of the white-collar
workers in the banking, insurance, so
cial service and allied professions was
thrown open to the Committee for In
dustrial Organization today as a char
ter was granted to the United Office
and Professional Workers of America.
Approved by Chairman John L.
Lewis, the action of granting the char
ter of affiliation with the C. I. O. was
requested by the white-collar unit in
convention in Philadelphia over the
last week end.
10,000 Members Claimed.
Comprising at present about 10,000
members, the new affiliate is composed
principally of one-time unions of the
American Federation of Labor.
Confining their organization efforts
principally to the professions named
above, the new union will accept into
membership, however, the white-collar
workers in any profession or trade not
already included within another C. I.
O. affiliate. For Instance, white-collar
workers in the steel industry will be
come eligible for the United Office and
Professional Workers, since the Amal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers had decided not to ex
ercise industrial jurisdiction over office
employes. On the other hand, the
United Rubber Workers includes office

sloop Endeavour II, one of two poten
tial challengers for the America’s Cup,
buckled today, crippling the racing
yacht as she prepared to set out for a
trial spin.
The mishap occurred just after the
Endeavour II had dropped her moor
ings. The crew immediately swung
her about and, under a small, trian
gular staysail, headed for the boat

started today.
Neither will the newly-recognized
union invade the field of Government
workers, it was said at C. I. O. head
quarters.

Chartering of the new union today
brings to three the number of white

with the C. I. O. Previously, the C.
I. O. granted charters of affiliation
to the Federation of Architects, Engi

to the United Retail Employes of

And once you own it, it costs you NO
MORE to operate and maintain. In fact,
for downright economy, the Packard Six
challenges any car on four wheels.
Ask us to show you the remarkable gaso

us show you why this Packard needs less

averages less for service costs.
Come in and drive the Packard Six...and
see why more than half of the purchasers
of this beautiful Packard are coming up
from the “low-priced five.” Discover that, if
your old car is of average value, you can get
a Packard Six for as little as $35 a month!
