ar.i labor bills this afternoon.
Topping the rmpressibe mass of re

.Vot even a record vote was required.
While that branch proceeded to act
on reports and adjust differences with
the Senate on the railway pension and
oth*r measures, the Senate was voting
overwhelmingly for the bill that will
promote private lending for home con
struction and repair. Some slight
amendments necessitated a conference
with the House, however, gefore it

Claims Employer
Has The Right To
Deny Employment
Hot Springs, Va., June 16. (AP)
—Henry I. Harrlman, president of
the Chamber of Commerce of the
tnlted States, said today an em
ployer has the right to deny work
to a man because he is a member
of a labor union, if he so desires.
Harrlman laid this opinion be
fore to business leaders of the
h'RA Industrial Advisory Board
which met privately todap to study
future as its first year
ended.
His view was interpreted as be
,n K in conflict with the national
Industry recovery act, which seeks
to establish that membership in a
nnion shall not be used by an em
ployer as a reason for refusing a
ioh T his part of the act, Harri
dan said, was probably unconsti
tutional.

Vienna, June 16. (AP)—Vigorous
denials that an independent Nazi
Austria is just around the corner
as the result of the meeting In
Venice of Chancellor Hitler of
Germany and Premier Museolinl
of Italy were uttered in official
quarters todap.
Government spokesmen charac
terized as “fantastic” reports to
the effect that Mussolini had
agreed not to oppose new elece
tions in Austria, including the pos
sible election of a Nazi govern
ment. ~
“That could not be an Italian
policy”, sl<4 one official authority.
“Italy is well aware that if even
one Nazi entered the Austrian
government the whole government
soon would be Nazi and Austrian
Independence would be a farce.

Six Months Moratorium On

Reich Powers
WORLD TO BE TOLD
TO BUY—OR ELSE
Lack of Foreign Trade Is
Given as One of Principal
Reasons for Suspension of
Payments on Debts; Em
bargo Laid on Export of
Grain From Germany
Berlin, June 16. (AP—Hints that
Germany should limit American im
ports unless the United States takes
more goods from the Reich grew
stronger today.
This sentiment accompanied another
threat that Germany was in a position
to tell the world to buy from her or
consider permanent her six-months
moratorium on foreign debts.
Lark of foreign trade was given by
the Keichsbank as one of the principal
reasons for suspension of payments on
foreign debts, including the Young
Dawes loans two days ago.
At the same time, fearing a new
strain on foreign exchange the gov
ernment laid an embargo on the ex
port of grain. A long period of dry
weather has damaged
crops. Should the cross loss be heavy
compelling imports of grains, the gov
ernment’s carefully devised plan Th
halt the loss of foreign exchange will
suffer a serious setback.
The governmentp romised reprisals
if other nations retaliated because of
foreign debt.
MAKE GeEs PAY
Cabinet Determined To Col
lect Botnd Interest in
Some Fashion
Paris, June 16. (AP* —France in
tends to collect interest from Germany
on Dawes and Young loan bonds in
some manner to protect her commer
cial interests, the cabinet decided to
day.
The exact method was undetermin
ed. But whether a clearing house
would handle all French and German
merchandise accounts, or a straight
surtax on all German goods will be
put into effect, ministers were agreed
that there would be no prompt action.
Negotiations to get Berlin to make
payments to French investors have
been put into full swing, with Roland
Kaester, German ambassador to Paris,
conferring with Premer DsWhergue.
If negotiations fail, observers said,
the French government sees in its ad
verse commercial balancew ith Ger
many a means to collect on the debt.
By increasing the duties on imports
from Germany, which the government
is empowered to do, France can re
taliate.

Havana, June 16. (AP* —Terrorists
who struck at the life of President
Carlos Mendieta with a bomb conceal
ed in a camera box stirred the gov
ernment and the cabinet today into a
grim anti-terror campaign.
Ten suspects are in jail, arrested
after an explosion yesterday, which
injured the president, killed two men
and wounded ten others at an offi
cial luncheon.
The cabinet met early this morning
and madep üblic a new law of public
order which the government hopes
will break up the persistent epidemic
of terrorist activities.
The law forbids civilians to carry or
possess firearms of a kind, except by
special license, and provides that the
government will buy all arms at prices
ranging from $lO for pistols to SSO for
machine guns.
