Such executive or legislative action at Washington would be welcomed in London, it was stated.

Officials said it would be "useless" for the non-intervention committee here to ban arms shipments by its twenty-eight member nations if munitions could flow freely from countries outside the agreement. The foreign office continued work on details of a tentative plan for a "mild" six-power naval blockade in Spanish waters to prevent spread of the conflict to the rest of Europe. It has been suggested that Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Portugal and Russia unite in establishing a sanitary cordon around the Iberian peninsula. FDR ACTS TO PLUG GAP Suggests New Legislation To Give Him New Powers Washington, Dec 29. The Roosevelt administration swung into action to plug a gap in Its neutrality law and prevent a proposed shipment of American airplanes and motors to the Spanish government.

President Roosevelt suggested new legislation which would give him discretionary power toprohlbit such exports to nations suffering Internal strife. The present neutrality law provides for embargoes on arms shipments to warring nations but not to forces engaged in civil conflict. At a press conference the president commented directly upon the license obtained yesterday by Robert Cuse, president of the Vimalert company, of Jersey City, to export $2,777,000 worth of planes and motors to the Spanish loyalists. He said the state department previously had Informed applicants for such licenses that the shipments would be in violation of the spirit of the law although not specifically barred. He said ninety per cent of business men had gone along with the department and he praised them for it.

He added the action by Cuse was a case of the other ten per cent of business, whose action he condemned as contrary to the country's interests, even though perfectly legal. Mr. Roosevelt expressed the opinion that if the new congress quickly extends the neutrality act to cover countries torn by internal strife, Cuse could not recover damages if he were prohibited by the new law from carrying out his contract. The recent supreme court decision upholding presidential arms embargo power would prevent recovery, he. said.

When a reported mentioned that iCuse- contends the airplanes were not for war purposes, the president said the same plea was made by shippers during the early stages of the World war.

BY GHAIiDLEB, SENT TO WASHINGTON (Continued from Page One) proved by the social security board not later than Thursday. Its ulti mate approval, however, was consld ered a foregone conclusion since the board's representative, Irving Wood, of Washington, helped draft the bill and guide it through the legislature, The amendments embodied in the substitute bill finally passed, Wood told the senate at today's hearing, made it conform to federal require ments.

Wood and Hatton were designated by Governor Chandler to accompany the bill to Washington. Way Cleared For Approval While the bill travelled a bumpy road in the senate before finally reaching its destination, it found the way cleared for it in the house. The moment it came back from the senate, Dr. B. F.

Shields, adminiS' ration floor leader, moved for con currence in the amendments. His motion carried on a voice vote and he Immediately moved for imme diate passage of the bill as amended, His later motion blocked efforts of some legislators to offer amend ments. Representative Roscoe Claxon CD), Georgetown, complaining at what he said was "a high-handed1 method of passing the bill, declined to vote la the house. Representa tives George Clay, of Henderson, and Charles Famsley, of Louisville, Democrats, voted "no" on the origi nal roll-call but changed to "aye' and made the result unanimous. Senator Ralph Gilbert, of Shelby vllle, administration leader, told the senate the substitute bill was neces sary to meet objections from Wash ington to the house-approved meas ure.

Provisions Of Bin Explained Provisions of the substitute bill were explained by Wood, who said the new bill was a result of an analysis by federal representatives. The major changes as he explained them left the director of unemploy ment compensation free to act without control of the commission in routine administrative matters, put the newly-created employment serv ice under the director of the divi sion of unemployment compensation instead of under the director of in dustrial relations, made the em ployer provision of the bill apply. for this year, to employers of eight or more persons and ior lour or more persons after this year, prevented the holding of claim hearings without the presence of the chair man, and set up an unemployment service and the unemployment compensation division as separate sections under the director of unem ployment compensation. Wood pointed out that tne tnree- man commission retained the right to make rules for lifting and settling claims and would have a voice in determining the commission's policies. The director, Wood explained, must be clothed with administrative authority in "emergency" matters because of the necessity of provid ing for the collection of employers' payments under the bill by January 31, 1937.

Former Congressman John Young Brown, of Lexington, who said he represented the United Mine Workers of America and the Labor Non partisan League of Kentucky, spoke at the open hearing in behalf of the proposed labor amendment. Other Changes Trivial in Nature Except for the so-called labor amendment, Brown said, all the other changes in the substitute bill were "trivial In nature." Without the labor amendment, he told the senate, "you set up a commission in one section of the bill and rip away all of its authority in an other. "Labor knows It Is being disfranchised under this act. It is taxation without representation on this board." Brown said the federal social security board did not require that the director be given the authority vested in him by the substitute bul and did not provide for such authority in its "model" bills. "We have no high-powered per-litlcal leaders to put pressure on you," he said, gaxing at the visitors' sections of the senate, where many state officials and employes stood.

Senator Tom Turner (D), Murray, objected to Brown "dealing with personalities," and Brown retorted: "You've got control over whether. I speak here, but you have no control over what I say if I do speak." Saying he presented "labor's views," Sam Caddy, of Lexington, district president of the United Mine Workers of America, claimed "the labor representative on this board will be only a figurehead" without the proposed amendment. Wood later pointed out to the senate that payments under the bill to workers do not begin for two years. The 1938 legislature, he said, could make any changes found necessary. Meets Requirements of U.

S. Bill Senator Gilbert said the bill met requirements of the federal board and was "in keeping with the poli cies of the president of the United States." Governor Chandler, he. said, "would not tolerate anything hos tile to organized labor." To distribute administrative authority among three men instead of centralizing it in one man, Gil bert declared, would "be the first step in undoing the reorganiza tion bill. Many classes of labor, he said, favored the substitute bilL The labor-supported amendment was offered by Senator John T.

But this this Is so much worse.

"I'm afraid Charles is cold. He wasn't very well, you know, and he wasn't warmly dressed." A special delivery letter and a prowler's ladder furnished the only outward evidences of progress toward solving the kidnaping, but a spokesman for the family said no developments were expected tonight. The police disclosed they had seized the ladder nearly two months ago at the mansion of George Franklin, after a lumiiiu) etiiflricViintf Invader hyCQAUCTa, had been frightened away from the place on two occasions. Arrival of the 'special delivery letter during the morning at the hrwm of rn W. W.

Mattson stirred up reports that the missive might have been from tne squat, oe-whiskered man who took Charles nut. nf Mt linme at nistol noint and left a note reputedly demanding $28,000 ransom. No Progress Made However, family spokesmen and justice department agents alike reported no progress toward return of the boy. Existence of the crime ladder suggested the theory that another "public enemy" was at work following a course strangely paralleling major kidnapings of the past. Police examined it eagerly for finger prints.

The Franklins live two blocks from the Mattsons, in Haddaway Hall, built by the late J. P. Weyerhaeuser, lumber magnate whose grandson, George Weyerhaeuser, was kidnaped in May, 1935, and ransomed for $200,000. A man whose description coincided in many ways with that of the Mattson kidnaper entered Haddaway Hall twice in early Novem ber, police disclosed, terrorizing members of the Franklin family. During the second invasion, tne intruder fired a pistol at the es tate's night watchman- Franklin, a chain grocery operator, bought the mansion recently.

Although Police Chief Harold Bird characterized the Haddaway Hall incidents as "attempted bur glaries" rather than attempted kid naping, officials checked details or the ladder in the belief the intruder perhaps was the man who abducted young Mattson. Point to Kidnaper's Cry Thev nointed to the kidnaper's cry, "this place ought to be good for some money," as indicating he might have considered kidnaping or other crimes at several residences in the neighborhood. The intruder made his first attempt to invade the residence in early November, when he placed the ladder against a wall under the window of a room where Mrs. Franklin and a small son were sleeping. Awakened by a flashlight's beam, Mrs.

Franklin screamed and frightened the man away. Four nights later, a night watchman surprised a swarthy, black bearded man carrying a flashlight and a pistol in a hallway leading to the Franklin sleeping apartments. The man fled when the guard ran for a rifle. A few moments later, officers said, a maid saw the Intruder on the lawn. The guard's cry for the man to halt was answered by a pistol shot from him.

The man escaped through an open gate. The Franklin family is now in California. At Seattle the Times said an intimate friend of the Mattson fam ily informed the newspaper he had studied the ransom note and is confident the apparently "crazed" kidnaper had a highly rational accomplice. "I can't reconcile the very coherent, note, with the sort of crazed man who committed the kidnaping," the newspaper quoted the friend, who requested anonymity.

S. RULE V.GQL INDUSTRYJRCED Plan For Federal Regulation Is Laid Before Operators' Conference. White Sulphur Springs, W. Va Dec. 29.

(JP) A brand new plan for federal regulation of the soft coali industrv was advanced fev) the Pittsburgh Coal company, a Mellon interest, at an operators' conference in this resort town. Details of the plan laid before the operators by J. D. A. Pittsburgh coal president, were not disclosed immediately outside th conference.

It was understood, however, tk provides for drastic amendment of the anti-trust laws as they affect the coal industry and much looser federal restrictions than the old Guffey control act set up.

Producers who planted more than their quota acreage would be liable to penalties of $50 an acre on the excess. Producers whose crops exceeded their quotas could purchase surplus certificates by paying twenty-five per cent of their surplus tobacco's value, of 1 1-2 cents a pound, "whichever is larger." Resale certificates would be issued under regulations to be prescribed by the commission. Proceeds from certificate sales would be used to pay administration costs. Any surplus from certificate proceeds would be used to help compensate growers for crop failures, with a maximum payment of five cents a pound for the difference between the crop harvested and the producer's marketing quota. If the bill is passed by the Kentucky legislature next week, as expected by Kilgore, and if compacts are effected through similar action by other major tobacco-growing states, the control would be effective on the 1937 crop whether or not producers endorse it by vote.

However, the governor or fifteen per cent of the producers could call a referendum and if one-third voted unfavorably the compact would be nullified for the following year. Crop Year Begins May 1 The "crop year" begins May 1. Compacts must be effected by that date to control the 1937 crop. Frank Taylor, of Lexington, Frank Lacy, of Hopklnsville, Ky member of the state soil conservation committee and Kilgore spent the day with AAA officials drafting the measure to comply with the consensus of opinions developed in the steering committee's conference. State Senator Ralph Gilbert of Shelbyville, who took part in the conference and Representative Stanley Dickson are expected to introduce the bill in their respec tive branches of the Kentucky leg islature Thursday.

Kentacky- Commission Members of the Kentucky tobac co commission under provisions of the bill would serve for terms of one year, and would receive $10 a day while on duty, unless already employed by the state, plus ex penses. One provision would permit trans fer of dark tobacco acreage quotas to Burley, up to two per cent of the present Burley acreage. Kilgore said this might increase Burley pro duction in Kentucky by 5,000,000 pounds, but since the transfer terms would be 1 1-2 to one on acreage, it would effect a cut in dark tobacco production of approximately 7,500,000 pounds. Tobacco districts as defined by the bill are: First Fulton, Hickman, Carlisle, Ballard, McCracken, Livingston, Marshall, Calloway, Graves, Trigg, Lyon, Christian, Caldwell, Hopkins, Crittenden, Webster and Union. Second Henderson, McLean, Muhlenberg, Todd, Logan, Simpson, Butler, Ohio, Hancock and Daviess.
