FOUR-POM RULE SOUGHT IN EUROPE Hitler - Schuschnigg Talks Only One Sign of Movement. By WALLACE R. DEUEL. Chicago Daily News Correspondent. BERLIN. Feb. 15—A gigantic new attempt to reach a fund?,mental set tlement of the whole basic European situation is now being made, it was learned here today, and the con versations between Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler and Austrian Chancellor Kurt von Schuschnigg at Berchtes gaden over the week end are only one measure of the many which are being taken in half the chancellories of Europe in an attempt to achieve such a settlement. The new settlement which is being sought is a return to the rule of Europe—and possibly Africa as well— by a "concert" of four major Euro pean powers, France, Germany, Eng land and Italy. The first step, which it is hoped will lead toward such a settlement, is an attempt to establish a relatively stable situation in Austria. Guarantee of Independence. Germany will again guarantee Aus trian independence and promise not to interfere in Austrian internal affairs if this step succeeds, and in return will secure the promotion to a rabinct post or undersecretaryship of Dr. Arthur Seyss-Inquart. or some other presumably "moderate” Nazi or outspoken "Nationalist.” If these first measures succeed, and perhaps even if they do not. Hitler in his speech before the Reichstag Sunday will make some kind of I sweeping promise and proclamation of | peace and appeasement. If this latest attempt to work out \ a new deal for Europe fails, then there will be a return to an even more dangerous and chaotic state of International anarchy than that which has ruled Europe for the past several years. Eden in Critical Spot. Hints of passible impending changes in the British cabinet are believed to fit into these efforts to reach a fundamental agreement. Partisans of the agreement are reported here to have the upper hand in London, with the result that Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and others, who, with , him, oppose the new plan in its present form, are understood to be faced with the choice of yielding or resigning. Some kind of agreement on Spain is also being sought as part of the new plan. (Copyright. 1 Has. by Chicago Daily j News.

House group had been misinterpreted, Mr. Jackson said the grand jury was not used to coerce finance companies in the Geiger case, but that the de partment had used "compulsion" in some cases. The subcommittee adjourned until 2 p.m. Senator Norris, Independent, of Nebraska, remarking that "if the filibuster in the Senate is still undpr way we might as well return to this filibuster.” “No one who is irked by it need atay," Senator Austin retorted. Reluctant to Give Opinion. Senator Austin asked Mr. Jackson for his views on the fairness of bring ing proceedings under the Vagner Labor Relations Act at points far re moved from scenes of alleged viola tions. The nominee said he would not care to express an opinion in the abstract, and indicated he thought Congress should determine matters of policy in that respect. Mr. Jackson asserted, however, that if any proceeding should be brought in an improper location, the defendant would have a right to ask the court to dismiss the case for want of Jurisdiction. Senator Austin then read from some I of Mr. Jackson's brief while in pri vate practice to show his views on court procedure had changed. When Senator Norris objected to the line of questioning, the Vermont Sen ator said: “I merely want to show how Mr. Jackson has changed since he left the country and came to the big city." ^ Senator Austin tnen asked if Mr. Jackson knew how much employment could be traced to the "60 families" he attacked in one of his speeches. Denies Wanting Destruction. Mr. Jackson said he didn’t know, but denied he wanted to see the in dustrial set-ups of the 60 families, supposedly controlling American wealth, destroyed. "I think the methods by which they operate should W done away with," he said. Mr. Jackson admitted he had said his only criticism of the New Deal was that its policies were too moderate. Mr. Jackson agreed that last De cember 12 he had said "big business” had taken advantage of the recession to attempt liquidation of the New Deal. He objected, however, to being questioned on portions of the speech. > "I made that speech deliberately,” he said, ‘ and I stand on the whole ad dress. 1 still think it was a good - speech.” Discussing his personal views, he said he favored dissolution of monopo listic industrial corporations and pub lic utility and bank holding companies in some cases. Reverting then to Mr. Jackson's con tention that 200 corporations dominate American business. Senator Austin pointed out they have made money j under the New Deal. "Do you think in view of that they*! would follow the suicidal policy of' 4 • -.

Although a similar proposal was de feated recently. Senate proponents of the long-debated anti-lynching bill were hopeful today that a number ef Senators would switch their stand in tomorrow's vote on a proposal to limit debate by invoking a cloture rule. Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New York said he had heard that the Re publicans. who opposed the first at tempt at limitation, "are coming over.” Republican Leader McNary of Oregon replied, however, that he believed there would be little change in the line-up of Republicans. An indication tnat there might be some change, nevertheless, came in i the statement of Senator Townsend, Republican, of Deleware that he had not decided how he would vote. He opposed the first proposal. Senator Connally. Democrat, of Texas, leader of the bill's foes, com mented: "The anti-lynching bill is as good as i dead. We'll beat the petition, and sponsors will have to lay the measure aside so that the Senate can go to work on some needed legislation.” YOUTH HELD IN DEATH 1 -I CORINTH, Miss., Feb. 15 (JP).— j Deputy Sheriff Orlando Potts said | yesterday 18-year-old Earl Mills sur-: rendered himself to Alcorn County officers ana told them he had shot and ! killed Artie Robinson. 19-year-old girl 1 acquaintance, “in self-defense." 4 The officer said a preliminary hear ing in the case would be held tomor row or Thursday but that his investi gation had so far shed little light on the shooting which he asserted oc curred Sunday on a highway near here. The girl died from a .22-caliber bullet wound. I trying to destroy the New Deal," Sen ator Austin asked. "Some of them have, not all," the I nominee said. I Gains of Rich Held Excessive. Mr. Jackson denied the New Deal's policies have made “the rich richer and the poor poorer.” The poor have benefited, he said, but the gains of the i rich have been excessive. Mr. Jackson told Senator Austin he represented business before coming to the Government. "They were the only cash customers." he said. * Asked if he had represented any | business accused of violating anti-trust ! laws, ne said: 'Yes. I represented a furniture busi ness in my home town. The men j were charged with violating the anti- 1 trust laws and were dragged to Chi cago for tr^al. I told them the evi- ! dence didn't look so good and advised i them to plead guilty.” Senator Austin then asked Mr. Jackson if he thought Government should have power of life and death over business or mere regulaory power Question Held Too General. Tne witness said the question was too general to answer directly, but expressed the belief Government must have power to check evil in business if the good is to survive. Mr. Jackson then denied the grand jury proceedings in the “Geiger case” were started to secure a consent de gree eliminating abuses in the auto mobile finance business. "There has been a great deal of misrepresentation about that case,” he said. “But the gTand jury proceed ings were not designed to coerce a consent decree.” He conceded, how ever, that there would have been no consent decree negotiations If the criminal case had not been instituted. "If you take away our right to start criminal proceedings you will de stroy enforcement of the anti-trust laws. It is true the department has used a measure of compulsion in these cases, but that was not the purpose of the grand jury proceedings in Milwaukee.” —'—----"_————» I Relief (Continued From First Page ) that is not affected in some real de gree,” he said. "It is less in the West than it is in the East. The farther West you go, the less it has affected them as yet. But everything on the West Coast—Seattle, Portland—has been affected greately. But it is worse in the large cities where unemployed ! people are concentrated.” Can’t Meet Problem. Mr. Williams said he did not believe "that under any possible stretch of their resources the States ana cities can meet this situation out of moneys that they can raise through any form of taxation or borrowing.” i When Secretary Morgenthau ap peared for interrogation. Represents- j tive Wigglesworth, Republican, of Massachusetts asked him: "Do you see any end in sight for ( this problem? * * • Is it something that will be with us forever, or do you see any hope of solving it?” Secretary Morgenthau said (he only j solution "is for private industry and initiative to take up this load.” The $250,000,000 appropriation would supplement the 12-month ap propriation of $1,691,000,000 Congress allocated last year for the fiscal year ending next July 1. The committee said that since this allocation was made last June, em ployment conditions had changed radically, adding: No Upturn Seen. While at the present time it ap pears that the situation is static, the committee has received no information that would lead them to believe that there was in prospect in the near fu ture such an upturn in business condi tions as would justify the appropria tion of a lesser amount than that re quested.” Mr. Williams had told the commit tee employment in the construction industry dropped 333.000 from 1.320. 000 between September and December, i and listed among other major employ ment decreases: Textiles, 218.400: foods, 202,800; iron and steel, 161,500; machinery, 155,800; railroads, 125,000; lumber, 123,700. Mr. Williams estimated that more than 1.000,000 persons last their ,iobe last month. He told the committee that relief cases increased 13 per cent last month, and listed among some of the largest increases: Flint, Mich., 285 per cent; Durham. N.
