"Whether the disclosure of this opinion meant that the President vas preparing to act toward industrial peace was not announced. The mere statement of his sentiments was conveyed without comment to newspapermen at the temporary "White House here. At his press conference the President himself had no statement I to make regarding business. Those who spoke authoritatively; regarding Mr. Roosevelt's attitude suggested that the bitterness in the domestic economic scene parallels; the recent European crisis.

Friends of Mr. Roosevelt said i that the sooner labor and industry sat around the conference table and stopped hurling names at each i other, the sooner the nation would see business make real progress At his regular Tuesday press con- Te rence, the President had no com-i i on the recent European set-! rr.crt.

These negotiations were suspended last spring after an Anglo- Italian agreement to maintain the status quo in the Mediterranean, "Settlement" of the Spanish civil war was a condition on which the accord would eo into effect. Yesterday's talks came along with word from Paris that the French Cabinet had decided on a move toward better relations with Italy by sending an ambassador to Rome, recognizing the Ethiopian conquest. Comment on this possibility was withheld in official Italian circles. Others thought Italian press hostil- ity toward Fiance, -which had flared in recent days, might sub side as the first effect of such an action by the Paris government. More Important, some foreign sources said, was the possibility Britain might follow France in recognizing the conquest of Ethiopia although there was no indication that Lord Perth discussed such a possibility with Count Ciano in their meetings Monday and yesterday.

As a preliminary phase, some sources said, Eritain was expected to co-operate with Italy in final cettlement of the Czechoslovak situation. It was understood in diplomatic circles Lord Perth discussed Hungary's claim to part of Czechoslovakia when he met with Count Ciano. In some quarters It was thought "London might support Hungary's claim. Premier Mussolini strongly supports Hungary in this matter.

In a note to the Prague government proposing a conference to discuss the minority claims be held tomorrow, Hungary demanded that before the talks begin Czechoslovakia first must give four guarantees. Demands Listed They are: 1. Hungary must be allowed to occupy, as a symbol of the return of territories in which 800,000 Hungarians live, two border town and communes. 2.

All Hungarian political prisoners in Czechoslovakia must be released. 3. All Hungarian-speaking soldiers in the Czecholsovakia army must be sent home on leave immediately. 4. Local police and troops must be created in the Hungarian zones under a "mixed command." Hungary proposed that the claims be discussed at a conference at 4 p.

m. Thursday at Komarom, a town on the Danube 80 miles west of Budapest, part of it in Hungary, part in Czecholsovakia. Troops Restrained There were unconfirmed reports last night that the Czecholsovakia authorities were evacuating the Hungarian-populated border regions along the 450-mile frontier, Hungary, however, was careful to restrain her troops from marching in for fear Rumania and Yugoslavia, allies of Czecholsovakia in the Little Entente, might attack Hungary on the grounds she was an aggressor. The government indicated, however, it was preparing for all eventualities. Numerous war veterans more than 45 years old were ordered to army recruiting stations and certain raw materials were requistioned.

Export of metals, textiles, chemicals and leather was prohibited. Extreme regret was expressed in Hungarian revisionist circles that Hungary did not threaten Czechoslovakia with military action simultaneously with the Poles. "That would have been the righ psychological moment," one Hungarian source said.

Don't miss Damon Runyon, Paul Mickelson, George Kirksey, Jack Cuddy and a host of other star writers in tomorrow morning's Srnt0rrit Paiia (Wednesday) A Premier Daladier was voted full financial powers to rule by dictatorial decree early today by the Chamber of Deputies. The vote I was 331 to 78, ivith 204 abstaining. The vote came after the premier Vi il (in Vi i o-Vi t.lnn cr mttlf Yesterday the chamber by a vote tn 7, HaH anrnvP1l his mrt in the Munich partition of Czecho- Slovakia to, purchase Europe's peace, and he had announced his intention of resuming full diplomatic relations with Italy to extend that peace. Opposition of Socialists forced Daladier to compromise some of his demands for decree powers. He promised to maintain the social laws of the peoples front and to re duce the duration of the decree powers from Dec.

31 to Nov. 15. Even these promises won the Socialists only to the point where they agreed to abstain from voting instead of joining with communists and some independents in opposition. Shortly before 2:30 p. m.

approval of the finance commission was gained when 18 voted for the measure, with five voting against and 18 abstaining. Daladier's ministerial statement on the four-power Munich accord which appeased Germany at Czechoslovakia's territorial expense said France was in a state of "per- manent mobilization to preserve the peace saved at Munich. Resume Italian Relations Earlier, it was disclosed that the government had decided to resume full relations with Italy by recognizing Premier Mussolini's Ethiopian conquest. Foreign Georges Bonnet called Italian Charge d'Affairs Renato Prunas to the foreign min- istry and asked him to notify his ti i in i-j government that France had de- cided to name an ambassador to Rome. the notittcation was coupled with French thanks for Premier Mussolini's part in solution of the German-Czechoslovak crisis.

Italian approval of a specific nomination for the post was expected to be asked within 24 hours. Although Francois Pietrl, a deputy and member of a half-dozen former cabinets, had been mentioned widely for the appointment, political sources last night believed that Andre Francois-Poncet, present ambassador to Berlin, probably would be named. Would Shift Envoys In such a case, it was said, Francois-Poncet would be succeeded in Berlin by Leon Noel, now ambassador to Poland, and Noel's post at Warsaw would be taken by Gabriel Paux, former minister to Austria. The French notification to Italy indicated France was ready to recognize King Vittorio Emanuele as emperor of Ethiopia. While former Premier Camille Chautemps read Daladier's declaration in the Senate, the premier, from the rostrum of the lower house, summarized his govern- ment's goal as the maintenance of peace by strengthening the nation and by a general solution of Euro pean problems.

"We maintain peace only if we elaborate finally the bases of general settlement, if we organize Europe find the world on new principles, and if after having avoided war in Central Europe we make it recede everywhere it is still unleashed," Daladier said. Hints at Spain War This apparently was a reference to the Spanish war, one of the first items on the French list of questions to be liquidated. Daladier, however, made no reference to any specific action to be taken. The only ballots cast against the Daladier policy were those of 73 Communists and Henri de Kerillis, Independent Conservative, and Pierre Bloch, Socialist. Defending the Munich dismemberment of Czechoslovakia as an escape from war, the premier asserted that the success of the four-power talks was the result above all of the "demonstration of our strength." The premier backed up this stand by calling on Parliament for immediate approval of his demand for economic and finanaeial decree powers to pull the nation out of difficulties created by the crisis over Czechoslovakia.

Damages Sought For Loss of Job New York Miss Est.r Brown sued two forrever fellow employes for $50,000 yesterday foi' the loss of her $35-a-vveek clerk'; job in a shirt factory. She charged that Sol J. Yaspan and Sadie Grossman conspired to undermine her health by removing a nearby radiator and opening window ho that she caught cold. She charged further that the defendants conspired to offend her "moral sense'-by repeaing off-color stories and using language "unfit to- print" in her presence." She contended she whs dis- charged after 16 years as a result of the 'atrocious, wicked and ex- Uieniely criminal I I i i y- elale prospect of the American Federa- tion of Labor making peace with i the CIO," Grf en said after the President's message had been read i to the convention. "We are in the position of wait- i ing for suggestions from representatives of ths CIO," Green said.

"We negotiated an agreement but it was vetoed by John L. Lewis so there is nothing for us to do but wait for a response from the CIO." The Preside it of the AFL said if any concrete suggestion toward mediation of the labor dispute were made by Piesident Roosevelt it i would be submitted immediately to the executive council of the AFL. i Doesn't Plan Reply "We accept his message today as merely an expression of hope I that peace can be made and as such his message was lead to the convention," Green said. do not expect to reply to it." ween interpreted the message as being addressed to "both sides" and added that the AFL was willing to resume peace negotiations. As recently a-s last August, Green said, Lewis rejected proposals that peace talks be started where they left off last December.

A committee from the International Ladies Garment Workers Union talked to Green and Lewis to sound out the prospects for reunion of the warring factions. Referring to reports the CIO was planning to meet in November and adopt a permanent constitution, Green said: "I am afraid the other side will push the door aimost closed when they set up a permanent organization." Raps Mine Workers He said he believed the executive council of the AFL would re act "favorably" to a definite proposal from Mr. Roosevelt to serve as a mediator for labor's embattled factions. Green charged the United Mine Workers had tried to break up organization meetings of the Progressive Miners of America, a Federation unit chartered in May, and followed with this assertion: He recalled that for years he served the UMW as secretary before he became president of the American Federation of Lobar. "Now I am going to serve them still to free them from the semi-bondage in which they now find thei so they can elect their representatives instead of having them imposed upon them.

"Come what may" he roared, "we are going on and on until we win this fight for the miners of America." Cites Labor Friendship President Roosevelt said in his appeal he had had close friendship with officers of the American Federation of Labor and the international unions it represents for more than 25 years and "because of this, I venture to express the hope that the convention will leave open every possible door of access to peace and progress in the affairs of organized labor in the United States" "Collective bargaining," the President wrote, "is one of the most useful devices for fair and constructive human relations and collective bargaining in the industrial field presupposes some kind of organization of employes to conduct their part of such bargaining." Erie Clerk Named For Congress Run Buffalo -IP) Pius L. Schwert of Angola, clerk of Erie County, was nominated early today as the substitute Democratic candidate for congress in the 41st district. Schwert was chosen by district committeemen to run in place of Representative James M. Mead of Buffalo who was nominated at the Democratic state convention in Rochester for the short term of United States Senator. High Point and left him gagged bound.

Then they tried to steal another car, since the cab was labeled "City Cab" and easily identifiable on the highways. Godwin took the cab to his parents' home and forced them to give him clothing and another pistol. The parents called police. Soon afterward Mr. and Mrs.

R. L. Whitaker of High Point were accosted by a youth who tried to force them to drive their automobile into a dark treet. They refused and the youth ran across the street to where Don Moss. High Point textile worker, was sitting in his parked automobile.

Moss was shot twice in the chest when he hesitated on an order to drive the youth away "quick." Police believed last night Godwin and Wilson were in hiding with their "stolen taxicab and would try to make a complete getaway during; the night. They were believed to have hidden the cab In woods. BUREAU JAMS Hyde Park UP) Government re organization, beaten in the last session of Congress, was put for- Roosevelt yes terday as a remedy for the work jam which he said existed in some Washington agencies. At his press conference, the President said some governmental agencies were behind in their work and some employes were piling up excessive overtime. He made this statement after being told of reports some employes were considering striking to protest the overtime work required.

The problem, he said, was for Congress to solve, since Congress decided what functions the administrative branch should undertake and how many persons should be assigned to carry out these functions. Administrative branches, he pointed out, detailed its problems to Congress in budget hearings and annual reports. Mr. Roosevelt said a government reorganization bill would go far to remedy the present situation be- cause it would eliminate duplica-, tion of effort and would enable more work to be done for the money now being spent. Congress, he added, had three other paths let the situation drift, eliminate some governmental functions or provide more personnel.

Replying to other questions, the President said he probably would confer with Governor Lehman of New York before the November election, but did not know whether he would speak for the New York Democratic ticket. He recently praised Governor Lehman's de- cision to seek a fourth term. Turning to the relief work in the New England hurricane-flood sector, Mr. Roosevelt said some people had an erroneous impression that the government had taken over all relief work and that therefore it was unnecessary to contribute to the Red Cross. Such agencies as the WPA, PWA and Reconstruction Finance Cor- poration, he said, were attending to physical problems only and could not look after human needs for rehabilitation among families without resources.

The latter problem, he added, must be taken over by an agency supported by public subscription, such as the Red Cross. SOVIET BLASTS FRENCH STAND Moscow LP) The French language newspaper Le Journal de Moscou which habitually reflects the views of the Soviet Foreign Office, gave expression yesterday to what was regarded in diplomatic quarters as Russia's farewell to her i ally, France. France "no longer has an ally in i Euiope except Britain," the paper said. This was accepted as meaning Soviet Russia no longer herself a partner in the Franco-Soviet mutual assistance pact in event of aggression. "International public opinion now savs what is the value of France's WOrd the value of her pledges to the USSR, and of the Franco-Soviet pact?" the newspaper asked, in a of the four-power Munich settlement of Sept.

30 in which Britain, Fiance, Germany ana Italy agreed to the partition of Czechoslovakia. Neither Czechoslovakia nor Russia, an ally of Czechoslavakia's in that she pledged to aid her against an aggressor provided France did so, was represented in the Munich conference. "The fact Is that France on her own initiative and without consu't-ing the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics has already annulled the Czechoslovak-Soviet pact which was a corrollary of the Franco-Soviet pact," Le Journal de Moscou continued. "What now is the value of the latter pact since France has jubt torn up her treaty with Czechoslovakia a treaty which bound hsr much more strongly? "It has done this at the very moment when the latter country (Czechoslovakia) was under the threat of Fascist aggression. Loss of her allies and isolation that is the price France will pay for her capitulation to the aggressor.

"In the United States," he said, "there is a branch of the dreaded Italian government secret police, known as the Ovra.

"This is a spy organization which calls at the homes of American citizens of Italian descent and attempts to frighten them whenever they have participated in activities which do not conform to Fascist government policy. Linked to Duce "This organization is directly linked to the Italian consular service in the United States and is under instructions of the Italian ambassador in Washington." Declaring he could name "victims of this vicious practice," the Email, bushy-haired witness added in heavily accented English that he would do so if the committee would keep their identities secret. "They fearreprisals against their relatives still living in Italy," he said. Valenti said there were four known Ovra agents in this country. He named them as Carlo Vinti, Pietro Pupino Carbo-nelli and Count Fachetti Guiglia of New York, and Ubaldo Guidi or Boston.

Names Consuls Among consular officials "who have repeatexlly taken part Fascist affairs," he said, are Consul General Vecchiotti of New York; Consul General Segre of Boston; Consul General Pervan of Philadelphia; Consul P. De Cicco of New Haven, and Consul Jannelli of Johnstown, Pa. "While enjoying diplomatic immunity," the witness told the con-mittee, "these Italian consular officials are exerting influence over American citizens of Italian descent with the view of gaining more power and prestige for their native government." He testified that consular officials "spy on American citizens and threaten those who will not subscribe to Mussolini's, dictates and philosophy of government." "They even resort to fraud to gain their ends," he continued, "by warning victims with threats of revoking their American citizenship and sending them home to SILENCE WINS DIVORCE Cincinnati, Ohio 4U.E) Mrs. Julia K.

Bright spots in the economic picture were said to be a increase in employment the government's pump-priming program, which will not reach its top effectiveness until next spring. the approved PWA projects be in full swing next spring, it was asserted, along with most developments sponsored by the Federal Housing Authority.
