STEEL AND LABOR
PRIMING GUNS FOR
FINAL SHOWDOWN
ADMINISTRATION EXPECT
ED BY EXPERTS BACK
WORKER’S CAUSE
WASHINGTON July 3 (TP)—The
threatened labor war in the steel
industry stands out today as one of
the biggest imminent factors of the
presidential campaign.
John L. Lewis’ committee on in
dustrial unionization has warned tiie
steel industry that it is ready for a
showdown. While denying that it
seeks a strike, the Lewis group de
fied steel operators’ threats to throw
every obstacle possible in the way
of the unionization drive. The stand
pat attitude taken by both sides in
the unionization dispute threatens to
bring one of bitterest clashes in the
nation’s labor history.
If the outright break develops, it
undoubtedly will have a tremendous
effect on the presidential campaign.
A dispute with such far-reaching ef
fects doubtless will demand a stand
by President Roosevelt. In that event,
he will be faced with the choice of
backing up the steel men, thereby
antagonizing the American iron and
ateel institute, which has declarea
war on Lewis’ drive and the Amer
ican Federation of Labor which op
poses the Lewis movement.
Indication that the administration
will sympathize with Lewis was seen
in a statement by Secretary of Labor
, Perkins. Miss Perkins deplored the
, st:el institute's announced resistance
to the unionization drive and called
on the employer’s organization to
guard against becoming "nervous and
panicky.” She reminded the steel men
that Lewis’ drive was not a strike
movement but a campaign to extend
an existing labor organization.
"I hope,” she said, "the steel in
stitute will do nothing foolish and
against the public Interest.”
President Roosevelts position in the
threatened labor war is less enviable
than that of the Republican candi
date, Governor Alf Landon. As an
executive, Mr. Roosevelt probably will
be called upon to take a definite
stand, with the danger of vote oeses
in either direction. Governor Lan
don however, need not come out
definitely in one way or another. By
keeping q«uiet, he may corral the
votes the President might lose.

SO SAYS PLAINTIFF COMMENTING ON HUSBAND IN
SUIT AGAINST HELEN HAYES.
CHICAGO, July 3 (TP’—The de

dug into his brief case today for big
names of the theatrical and literary
world. Attorney Jay Reeves said he
would introduce depositions signed
by Alex Woolcott, Ben Hecht, Robert
Bencliley and Marc Conelly to prove
that Miss Hayes couldn’t have alienat

The opposing lawyer. Sam Golan,
declared he had already established
a case for his client—Carol Frink,

BOARDS AIRPLANE,
BEATS HUBBY HOME
SUCCESSFULLY DODGES
NEWSPAPER MEN IN
MAD DASH
SEATTLE, Wash., July 3 (TP).—
Mrs. Marion Zloncheck reached the
home of her congressman husband
today before he arrived from Wash
ington. She flew in from the east,
and went straight to the Zloncheck
home. Newsmen dashed along for an
Interview but she eluded them.
Airline officials said they had no
idea where Mrs. Zioncheck boarded
the plane. Her whereabouts had been
a mystery during the period in which
Zioncheck fled from a mental hos
pital in Maryland and boarded a
train for his Washington home.
The congressman himself reached
Seattle hours later aboard a train.
Both the congressman and his wife
turned interviewers away. The cou
pie was married several months ago
after a whirlwind courtship. Mrs.
Zioncheck formerly worked as a sten
ographer in the offices of the PWA.
She joined Zioncheck in many of the
wild exploits which kept him in the
news for weeks—and finally ended
with his being taken to a hospital for
a mental examination.
Sees His Mother
Zioncheck, on his arrival ignored
the crowds and rushed to his mother’s
bedside. She is seriously ill. Friends
raid he son had no idea her condition
was so serious until he met his wife,
cister an brother-in-law at the sta
tion. The Congressman’s bride flew
to Seattle today, arriving before Zton
check’s train pulled into the city.
The chastened Congressman was
far different from the wild-eyed young
man who staged a five-months spree
in Puerto P|:o, New York, Pittsburgh
and Washington. He wept at his
mother's bedside and choked witn
emotion. Zioncheck refused all talk
oof politics. He made it clear he
came home to see his mother, not the
voters who sent him to Washington.
Zioncheck reversed the attitude of
j bravado which had stamped his ex
ploits. Somewhere between Mil
waukee and Spokane, he underwent
his reformation. The crowds that
packed Spokan station this morning
I didn’t get a glimpse of him. The
band played and the crowd cheered,
but iZoncheck kept out of sight.
In Seattle this afternoon the drawn
faced Zioncheck Informed a Trans
radio Press newsman he was quitting
Seattle for a rest—and taking his
mother with him for 'her convales
cence.
Miss Frink collapsed with fatigue
during her testimony in the case. She
had brought a flush to MacArthur s
face by recounting details of their
courship and married life. She told
the court that they were constantly
on the move because he couldn’t find
a bed long enough for his feet. Mac-
Arthur is a six-footer. Miss Frink
said her newshawk husband took her
to Hollywood in an upper berth. She
said she lived on oranges for three
days. Helen Hayes and MacArthur
smiled sheepishly at most of this.
Attorney Golen plans to put Miss
Frink back on the stand today—and
then Miss Hayes’ attorney may in
troduce his depositions.

SELASSIE THROWS
BOMBSHELL INTO
LEAGUE PLANS
PRESENTS EMBARRASSING
QUESTIONS TO GENEVA
DIPLOMATS
GENEVA, July 3 (TP).—France
demanded today that the League of
Nations be reformed to allow speedy
action against any aggressor nation.
The French foreign minister, Yvon
Delbos, told the league assembly that
the first reform must give the league
council of 14 the power to act with
out a unanimous agreement. At
present one dissenting vote in the
council can destroy the decision of
the other 13 members.
France Explains In Note
It was reported that France had
formally amplified this proposal in
a note presented to the president of
the league assembly. Great Britain
was said to have joined in the pro
posals. It was suggested that the
league have the authority to punish
any aggressor with all manner of re
pressive sanctions, including an oil
embargo. The plan also calls for
European nations to sign regional
treaties to protect their immediate
interests. The nations would guar
antee to help an invaded nation with
their armies. Troops could be mobi
lized without consulting the League
of Nations.
The league asembly today referred
Emperor Haile Selasies request for a
war loan to the bureau of the assem
bly. It is expected that league offi
cials wil persuade Selassie to with
draw his demand for a $50000,000
loan to Ethiopia. The league co-ordi
nation committee, in charge of sanc
tions, is said to haws .decided.
the penalties against Italy shall be
dropped between Jly 10 and July 15
Selassies’ New Terms
The league meets today with two
very embarrassing resolutions to de
cide upon.
Both were submitted by Emperor
Haile Selasie, who is making a last
desperate appeal to rally to his cause
the league support which appears to
be steadily fading out of sight.
Selassies first resolution, filed
with the league secretary, asks, In
plain language: “Will the league
pledge Itself never to recognize Ital
ian annexation of Ethiopia?”
The second asks: "Will the league,
having promised to aid Ethiopia, lend
me $50,000,000 to be spent in rallying
the Ethiopian forces for an attempt
to oust thef Italian armies?”
These two resolutions call for just
what the league has been trying to
doge—a concrete statement. Instead
of giving Selassie a value assurance
of sympathy such as was scheduled,
the league will have to say “Yes” or
“No” to those two resolutions. The
answer to both probably will be “no”,
but in so voting, the league will go
on record as turning down the ap
peals of a nation which, only a few
months back, it pledged to defend
with all its strength.

STATEMENT
LONDON, July 3 (TP)—Britain's
Chancellor of the Exchequer Neville
Chamberlain, astounded the House of
Commons today with a flat declara
tion that Great Britain is rushing
toward a budget deficit. The deficit,
he said, will be caused by the vast
armament program.
Last year the national budget show
ed a surplus of $15,000,000. But Chem
berlain said the heavy increase in
Britain’s defenses leaves only one
question this yearhow much will the
government go into the red? Cham
berlain said that the Exchequer would
soon publish estimates for additional
expenditures on Britain's war ma- ]
chine. His prediction of a deficit fell
hard on tax payers who have not yet j
recovered frem the boost in income j
and tea taxes to pay for Britain’s
rearmament. Taxpayers had belived !
that the jupip in income levies would
keep the budget balanced.

HAPLESS VICTIMS IN
NATURE’S FURNACE
CHICAGO, July 3 (TP)—Rains
which were promised drought-withered
wester states have failed to mater
ialise. ....
The weather bureau in Washington
reported today that only scattered
showers have fallen in the past 24
hours in the stricken wheat states.
These rains fell in Nebraska and
Minnesota. Indications early Thurs
day were for rains of substantial pro
portions, but a later shift in the wea
’ ther factors robbed suffering farm
ers of this hope.
Southen states were more fortunate.
Heavy downpours struck Tennessee,
the Carolinas southwestern Arkansas
and northern Louisiana. There were
moderate showers in Kentucky, West
Virginia and the band of south-central
states.
Today’s weather outlook- in the
grain states is for continued fair, hot
days. Temperatures from Kansas to
Montana have ranged around the 100
mark for several days.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
already has planned direct relief to
the stricken farm areas. Livestock is
to be purchased by the federal gov
ernment at points where feed is not
available for the cattle. The govern
ment will supply meat to needy per
sons through this drought emergency
buying.
Aid Osier Too Late
The offer of the government to buy
cattle off the drought-parched west
ern ranges came too late to prevent
many farmers from taking their live
stock to market for whatever price
the markets offered. The cattle are
without proper pastuarge and water
as a result of more than four weeks
of dry weather.
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
announced last night that the gov
ernment is ready to buy almost a
million head of cattle.
Farmers in the Dakotas and Min
nesota, where drought damage is par
ticularly severe, are already rushing
their cattle to the regular markets

ATLANTA, July 3.—A sealed en
velope in the hands of Mrs. Eleanor
Orr Roan, secretary of the state Dem
ocratic executive commitee, today held
the secret of the political intentions
of Governor Talmadge. The envelope
marked “not to be opened until Sat
urday at 11 a.m.” was turned over
to Mrs. Ruan by the governor short
ly before he left for Mcßae to open
his campa gn tomorrow. The envelope
was beihved to contain the governor’s
fee of $250 for entry into the race
for United States senator or governor,
probably the former.
Meanwhile as the zero hour for fil
ing entries in the Sept. 9 primary,
Saturday at 11 a.xn., neared, a three
cornered rate for United States sen
ator loomed, with the announcement
from Abib Nix, of Athens, he was

his friends that he enter the race.
Senator Russell has already entered,
and it is believed that Talmadge will
run for the senate throwing his sup
port for governor to Charles D. Red
wine, president of the state senate.
“I have not made up my mind yet,
but will decide soon,” Nix told a
Daily Times representative today
when questioned about his intentions.
At the capitol it was learned the
Talmadge forces are practically solid
behind Redwine for governor. Hugh
Howell, staunchest of the Talmadge
supporters, sa'id he would outline his
position after the entries close. How
