There is still another factor pressing on President Roosevelt to risk further intervention in the AFL-CIO clash. Those in a position to know say the White House, Labor Department and other government agencies have been flooded with pleas that something be done to end the labor strife. The communications are said to have come from all sectors of public opinion, including many State and other local labor leaders and WASHINGTON, Oct 12. The 15 per cent wage tut p-oposed by the railroads was denounced by George Harrison, labor spokesman, today as in direct conflict with President, Roosevelt's recov-ery program.

The President of the Railway Labor Executives' Association registered his objection before the emergency fact-finding board ap-pointed by the President in an effort to avert a strike over the proposed reduction. "The President of the United States has made it known in unmistakable terms that industry and labor should unite to prevent wage reductions," he said. "We will not desert him." Harrison detailed for the board the attempts of a group representing labor and management to obtain "legislative relief" for railroads at the last session of Congress. Further testimony regarding this is expected Thursday from Senators Truman (D-Mo) and Wheeler (D-Mont), who directed a lengthy investigation into railroad finances and have sponsored much railroad legislation. goin' to let a little disappointment get yuh are yuh? There'll be another circus along.

Parent: (own eyes misty over her children's obvious disappointment) Never you mind babies, Mother'll make you some oatmeal cookies when we get home and maybe some lemonade. Won't that be grand? (So they went home, because there wasn't any circus parade!) Reasons? H. A. Burkhart, an auditor with the Robbins Bros. Circus, and F.

C. local contracting agent for the circus, said the parade plans were not abandoned until late morning, when delays in loading indicated that a parade would delay the afternoon performance. Mr. Kilgore said if the parade had been held, the matinee performance could not have been started before 3 p. and added the late start was brought on by unforeseen difficulties.

But there wasn't any circus parade. Contract Wifi "FLUFFY" the New CLEANSING CREAM By KIBKE L. SIMPSON WASHINGTON, Oct 12. un it would be no surprise to students of governmental trends if the Roosevelt administration offered soon to mediate the dispute be-tween the CIO and AFL. No Step Seen There has been no indication that such a step is under consid eratiort, but President Roosevelt's peace plea to the American Feder ation of Labor Convention at Houston, Texas, caused a new stir of speculation here as to just what he might have had in mind in framing that communication.

Nor have the views of those who look for some further White House action been altered by the latest exchanee between John L. Lewis and William Green. Lewis' suggestion that both he and President Green oi tne ieoer- ation resign their leadership of the two factions, thus removing their norsonal auarrel from the situation, met with its expected rebuff bv Green. The AFL leader interpreted it as a "grandstand play" by his CIO rival. On the surface, that inter change served to increase AFL-CIO tension.

It does not, however, obscure the fact that from both sides have come hints that a gov ernment mediation proposal might he welcomed. Those observers who are Inclined to predict that Mr. Roose velt mav maKe some aeiume at tempt soon to get the warring labor factions again arouna a con- ference table base their arguments largely on expediency. It would be timelv. thev contend, both as a pre-election gesture, and also for the effect it might nave in aeier- ring CIO action on forming an organization for a permanent rivalry with the AFL.

The CIO has called a constitutional convention for Nov. 14. Analogy Seen In that connection an analogy is seen between the Presidents intervention tactics in the Euro- pean war crisis and his peace mes sage on the labor civil war. Mr, Roosevelt's appeals to Chancellor Hitler were backed by a washing- ton effort to center world atten tion on the crisis and bring about a supporting flood of peace pleas from other capitals. Similarly, his message urging the federation convention to keep open the door to labor peace cen tered public attention anew on the AFL-CIO clash.

It stimulated sharply, too, the peace activities within the ranks of both groups The attitude of Daniel Tobin, heading -the AFL teamsters union, largest and strategically among the most important in the federation, as well as that of David Du- binsky, head of CIO's big garment worker affiliate, is held to be a factor adding pressure upon the administration to go farther in attempting to bring about re newed peace negotiations. Both Tobin and Dubinsky are demand ing peace and indicating that their unions may break away as inde- BY NEW YORK, Oct. 12.

Speaking at a conference attended by delegates from national headquarters and 36 New York and New Jersey chapters, Davis said: know now that with more than 20,000 families applying for Red Cross aid, the cost of meeting our obligations to these disaster sufferers will be close to His first appeal was for $500,000. "Czar" Of Vanquished Russian Throne Dies PARIS, Oct. 12.

UP) Proud and handsome Grand Duke Cyril Vlad-imirovitch, pretender to the vanished Russian throne, died in exile today and thousands of mourning White Russians who called him czar of all the Russias looked for leadership tonight to his son and heir, 21-year old Vladimir Cyril-lovitch. An exile since the Bolshevist revolution 21 years ago, the 62-year old pretender had been seriously ill for weeks with gangrene of one leg. He died in the American Hospital in the presence of his family and a few close friends. Not all, but most White Russians living like himself in exile, accepted his claim to be emperor and head of the house of Romanoff. The grand duke was a cousin of the late Czar Nicholas II, last of the dynasty to reign.

NEGRO CHURCH OPENS DISTRICT MEET HERE The Miami district convention of the Methodist Episcopal Church (negro) convened Wednesday morning at Grace Temple, CEM, -with the Rev. E. A. Gilbert, presiding elder, presiding. Bishop C.

C. Martin, D.D., Memphis, also attended. The morning evangelistic song service was directed by the Rev. G. W.

Camerson. Love feast services were conducted by the Rev. J. H. Graham and the Rev.

J. W. Ovletrea, with the sermon being delivered by the Rev. C. J.

In the afternoon session, financial and other reports were given. Seattle, Washington, requires that all beef, lamb and mutton sold within the city limits must be graded and stamped. oAli ecent A PERFECT cleanser and softener, Pat it on your face with slow, soothing, upward strokes. You'll adore 6 AFL or CIO. In the circumstances, there is widespread speculation as to whether President Roosevelt may not risk a follow-up peace move, even in the face of the war declar ation voted by the, federation con vention at Houston and Lewis re joinder to it in proposing that both he and Green resign.

Observers familiar with Roosevelt methods expect it to come, if it comes, without any advance notice. Mr. Roosevelt's silence at' this stage is not regarded, therefore, as fur nishing any clue whatever to his probable course. 1917, NEA Inc Rosie threw her arms around his neck, she laughed and kissed him. She danced away and back to kiss him again.

Her tears had vanished. "Darling, darling, Don," she gushed. Pats, furious, picked up the telephone directory and slammed it down. Behind the ridiculous glasses her eyes filled with angry- tears. What right had this girl to impose herself upon Don? Ushering Rosie to the door he stopped beside Pats desk.

"This is Rosamond Akers," he announced in a tired voice. "My secretary, Rosie, Miss er Warren." Pats murmured something, po litely. Rosie nodded briefly, dart ing amused glances from Pats to Don. Plainly her expression said, "Where in the world did you find this?" Pats felt the color creep into her cheeks they had forgotten her. "You'll take me to dinner, won't you, Don?" Rosie asked, prettily.

He thrust his hands into his trouser pockets with a gesture of futility. "I suppose so," he sighed. "Some lovely place," she car-roled rapturously. "I want to walk in and have people stare at me and wonder who the girl is with Don Monteray. I have a duck of a gown, Don.

You'll be proud of me." He was edging her toward the door. "I'm in 1014. Come down In about an hour." With a wave of her white hand she was gone. Pats said, "If you'll sign these letters, Mr. Monteray I'm sorry to be so late." Don passed his hand over his handsome head.

"Oh-h," he muttered, "is there no limit?" He threw but his arms in a helpless, half-comicai gesture, "I'm in for it," he stated. "Let the letters go till tomorrow, d'you mind?" "Certainly, Mr. Monteray." Pats cleared her desk and prepared to depart. Don dropped into a chair, seemed inclined to talk. "When I was a kid in Missouri, Rosie's father was our yard man.

They lived in a cottage on the place. I used to play with the boys. Akers was a fine old chap He frowned thoughtfully. "I don't remember Rosie in those days; she says she was a mere baby. I would have sworn there was only one girl, older.

She would have been about 27 or 28 now To herself Pats said, "That's Rosie. Men are so easily fooled." Don talked on moodily. "My mother was awfully good to them, we all were, and when Rosie appeared in Hollywood I turned heaven and earth to help her. I guess I started something," he ended with a rueful shrug. Pats put on her hat she had a savage impulse to trample it under her feet buttoned her loosely hanging jacket and stood, darkly-gloved hands folded over her neat purse.

For the first time in her life she was seething with jealousy, green-eyed with hate. Another woman was going out tonight with Don Monteray. And she, Pats, with her golden curls hidden, the roses in her cheeks camouflaged with nasty make-up, the beautiful lines of her figure caricatured with frumpy clothes, stormed inwardly at the cruel injustice of fate. "Good night," she said, and Don looked up, startled out of his harassed thoughts. "Oh good night." The street lights blurred before Pats' eyes as she trudged home in her hateful shoes.

O-o-o-h, they won't hurt me will they? (Blue eyes wide with expectation.) Second child: Aw, they ain't goin t' hurt you. Gee, Mom, I wish daddy could take us to the circus this afternoon, but Parent: Now, you know your daddy would love to, Junior, but we'll see the parade, anyhow. First child: Oh, Mama! Here comes a policeman! (Parent glances 1 relievedly down Lake Avenue.

Sure enough, there was a motorcycle patrolman coming slowly along the street toward the group. The head of the parade!) Both children prance excitedly and strain to see around others.

Second child: (trying to suppress tears) Come on, Kid, don't cry now.

Gewillikens, yuh ain't REVENUE SOURCE NEEDS EXPLAINED (Continued from Page One) pears that the first committee was in the majority, and for this reason the additional revenue measures were prepared and placed in the record so that the citizens could have an opportunity to express an opinion on them. Since the charter provides for referendum by petition, we do not feel that undue advantage has been taken of anyone, and we did not wish to go to the expense and delay in holding an election unless a sufficient number of people wished us to do so. By actual count less than one per cent of the people of West Palm Beach needed to sign the petitions in order to ask for an election. "Since the time for adoption of the budget and preparing the tax roll had passed, we are losing no time in pressing the entire matter to a decision. "For the past four and one-half years we have carried out a program of finance and taxation that has proved very successful.

West Palm Beach has gone forward during this time, and today our city ranks with the best in the State in every way. Source Gone "This has been made possible only through the use of delinquent tax money, but now we find we can no longer depend upon this source of revenue to continue our operations as we have in the past. The questions that now confront us are serious. "Will reduction of the budget to the 20-mill limitation, with the loss of about nine millions of homestead valuations, take the city back to the position it was in five years ago? "Can we afford, as individual citizens and as business men, to take a chance on the economic loss which will result? "Will the loss of tourist business and of those who will rent, buy or build new homes here be worth the few cents a month tax required under additional revenue measures "We do not believe any person in this city wants to see it go back to the oonditions-of 1932 and 1933. We do not recommend it, but it we cannot make up for the homestead losses somewhere, we will be forced to put in a budget that will take, it right back.

"Every citizen should investigate thoroughly and acquaint himself with the conditions: weigh the results The future of West Palm Eeach is at stake and will depend upon your decision." TWO REVOLUTIONISTS TELL ABOUT UPRISING BARCELONA, Oct. 12. UP) Two members of POUM, Marxist unification party, among the seven on trial charged with treason, contended today before the government espionage court that their organization always had been anti-Fascist and revolutionary. POUM was disbanded by government after the Barcelona Uprising of May, last year. The defendants, called to the stand ahead of prosecution witnesses under Spanish procedure, denied they started the Barcelona uprising, in which 950 persons were killed in four days of barricade fighting.

They said the uprising was spontaneous and when it began, they asserted, they tried to lead it along "proper" revolutionary channels. VERDICT FOR ACQUITTAL IS OVERRULLED BY JUDGE BARTOW, Oct. 12. UP) Judge Robert T. DeweH overruled today motion of defense counsel for a directed verdict of acquittal today after the prosecution rested its case against Dr.

SALVATION ARMY HEAD SUFFERS FROM SHOCK LONDON, Oct. 12. (P) General Evangeline Booth, 72-year old head of the Salvation Army, suffering from shock, was unable to attend the funeral today of her veteran secretary, Lieut. Com.

PATTERN 1761 IY lOUISt HOLMES CAST OF CHARACTERS PATRICIA WARREN, heroine, secretary to Don Monteray, actor-playwright. TRISSY WARREN, Pats' cousin and roommate in New York.

DON MONTERAY, Patricia's actor-employer. ROSAMOND AKERS, Patricia's rival. Yesterday: Pats becomes the shield between Don and the outside world. At the same time she is falling in love with Don. CHAPTER IV The days passed quickly, becoming more clock-like with every passing hour.

Pats ran her little of fice with a master hand. She wrote letters, answered the telephone, handled love sick femininity, reporters and budding -authors with tactful efficienqy. And she learned to wait with feverish anticipation for the rare times when Don sent for her, when she found him tumbled as to hair, exultant with creative prowess. At these times he needed a lis tener. His self-imposed exile lacked the one thing to which he was accustomed, companionship.

To him she was not a' personality, simply a human being who would listen. Stubbornly she clung to her self-effacing role. She was desperately lonely. As the plain and capable Miss War ren, she dared have no contacts with anyone and so carefully did she live her part that her own gay, fun-loving self became al most a stranger. Night after night she sat in some obscure theater where one of Don pictures was having a second or third run and at these times she was neither Pats nor Miss Warren.

She was a dreamy-eyed woman in love. One evening, remaining late to finish' her work, Pats went to the drug store for a sustaining malted milk. Stepping from the elevator on her return, she saw a girl enter her office! The living room door beyond stood open. As plans for the circumvention of the girl's obvious intention flitted through her mind, Don appeared in the act of closing the door. "Rosie he gasped and Pats received the impression that his cordiality was more than a little forced.

Rosie that was the name of the girl whose letter he had refused to answer. "How are you?" He extended his hand but the girl ignored it. With a glad cry she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him lingeringly. The eirl was nrettv in a hard. brittle way.

She was tall and willowy, her hair was definitely red, her eyes luminously brown. Pats, busying herself at the desk, could not help hearing every word that was said. She thought the girl a trifle overdone, too perfect as to lipstick and rouge, the waves of her hair too painfully even, the little curls in front of her ears too obviously arranged. I thought you were in Holly wood," Don said, extricating himself from the girl's embrace. "What happened to your contract?" "It was a beastly contract," Rosie complained.

"I walked out on it." "Not- a very wise procedure in the picture eame," Don com mented mildly. Rosie's tone became sweetly ag grieved. "I was lost you, Don." Hesitating the fraction of a second, she asked, childishly wistful, "You wanted me to come, didn't you?" Naturally I'm glad to see you, the gentleman in Don responded. "I Knew you would be, Don, she, went eagerly on. "I have an idea.

You know Baker is producing another red-head show in New York. It's the chance I've been waiting for. You'll help me get in, won't you?" "Now listen, Rosie" Dons tone was faintly exasperated. "I knew you wouldn't fail me," she interrupted. "You're my own darling and of course you'll help me." Her voice fairly dripped with ingratiating sweetness.

"Honestly I'd like to, Rosie. You know I've always helped you in the past, but I have no drag with Baker." "Don't be silly, Don." Out of the corner of her eye Pats saw the brilliant Rosie cross the room and perch herself on the arm of Don's chair. A consuming fury suddenly possessed Pats. "Don, darling," Rosie cooed, with her cheek pressed to his, "You wouldn't let me down. All i need is an introduction to Baker" "Sorry, Rosie." He disengaged her clinging arms and got to his feet.

"Look," he went on it was obviously 'a last stand "I got you a place in the pictures when you came to me in Hollywood. That was your chance." "But I was lonely without you." She laid her bright, smooth head on his shoulder. "They weren't nice to me, Don," she said pathetically. Pats heard Don heave a great sigh, knew that he had lost the battle. "I'll do what I can," he said quietly.
