States." As such, he said, he could not have been prevented from entering this country, even if he had possessed no passport. For a citizen to enter his own country without restraint is "an absolute right." The defendant spoke slowly, in a low voice, from notes placed on a small table in front of him near the end of the jury box. "Even if a citizen were suffering from bubonic plague," he said, "they could under no circumstances exclude him." The specific charge ajainst Browder is that he twice used a passport which he had obtained under his own name in 1934 on the basis of an application in which he falsely swore that he never had had a passport before. Lewis Assails LawViolation influential leader of John L. Lewis' United Mine Workers Union.

C. I. expressed doubt today that the union's golden jubilee convention opening tomorrow would join the campaign to "draft" President Roosevelt for a third term. This official, who would not bs quoted directly, said it was more likely that the 2.200 delegates representing approximately 600.030 members would call for the nomination of a "liberal" Democratic candidate, and leave specific endorsements to the U. M.

executive board or the C. I. political arm labor's non partisan league. The mystery surrounding Mr. Roosevelt's plans probably will present outright endorsement of any Either Democratic possibility, such as Senator Burton K.

Wheeler, of Montana, only potential candidate invited to address the convention, it was said. Wheeler will speak Friday. Wheeler's invitation, and Lewis' description of him as a "great liberal" and "one of our most eminent contemporary statesmen," are regarded as significant political straws. The third term issue may get before the convention in the form ot resolutions of some local unions demanding Mr. Roosevelt's reelection.

Eight of the locals submitted "draft" demands at the convention in Washington two years ago, but these were put aside, and the same action is anticipated this year. It has never been indicated clearly just what Lewis, the C. I. O. or the mine workers' union would do it faced with a third-term candidacy and this question prcbably cannot be answered until after the Republican nominee is chosen.

There has been abundant evidence, however, that Lewis and Roosevelt are not as friendly as they were four, or even two, years ago. Just four years ago the union started the labor ball rolling for Mr. Roosevelt's reelection. In January, 1936, at Washington, its convention unanimously urged a second term, Vid contributed more than $500,000 no the campaign. Mr.

Roosevelt sent the union greetings and congratulations upon its 50th anniversary, declaring that tlie organization "may well review with pride many constructive accomplishments in the interest of the labor movement as well as the public over so long a period." Lewis arrives from Washington today. The possibility of peace with the American Federation of Labor are among the many subjects before the delegates. Others are unemployment, relief, extension of the reciprocal trade agreement program, Wagner Act amendments, social security law improvements, and recommendations for an expanded federal housing program.

Then House members who had met separately in their chamber marched into the Senate, followed by the President's cabinet, Supreme Court justices and the President himself. Two hymns were sung during the services each a favorite of Borah's. They were "Lead, Kindly Light" and "Abide With Me." They were sung by Mrs. Henrietta Bagger Plum.

The governor's secretariat denies the proposal is yet before him officially, but administration sources say he has approved it and is withholding announcement pending selection of committees to administer it. The union views the proposed fystem as a "refinement" of that embodied in the control bill James barked unsuccessfully at the last legislative session. Independent operators fought it to defeat, contending the production allocation formula would work to the advan-tace of the old line companies. U.
