President Roosevelt signed the wage-hour bill, thereby giving the "go ahead" signal for a vast experiment In putting a "floor" under pay rates and a "ceiling" over hours. The signing was done without fanfare Saturday, but was not tnnounced by White House officials until today. The act will go into operation October 2 i.

On that date, officials said, some 200,000 persons receiving less than 25 cents an hour are to have their pay increased to 25 cents.

Times photo Joint Warning Given5 Japan British and French Vow United Action to Defend Islands LONDON, June 27. OP) Britain and France made known today a warning to Japan to keep hands off the strategic Chinese island of Hainan, off the South China coast, and a pledge to act together to handle any complications. The two governments showed bluntly that they were keeping jealous eyes on their interests in China despite their preoccupation with diplomatic troubles in Europe. COMMONS TOLD Richard Austin Butler, undersecretary for foreign affairs, told the House of Commons of the warning, and a Foreign Office spokesman in Paris confirmed France's readiness to stand with Britain.

"HUll.llff 'w I Condemnation of the con-tempt-of -court action started in the name of the Los Ange les Bar Association against The Times was voiced yester day in a report of a special subcommittee of the National Lawyers' Guild here. The report, demanding sweeping revision of contempt procedure to end "kingly" rights of courts, was referred back to the subcommittee by a guild session at the Clark Hotel for consideration at an executive board meeting later in the week. Action by the guild group was inspired by the contempt proceedings started June 3 against The Times based on five editorials appearing in this newspaper. In its report the guild committee declares there is a pressing need for reform of the practice by which courts constitute themselves as both prosecutors and judges in contempt proceedings. It asserts this has upset the traditional American balance between legislative, executive and judicial authority and tended to invest the courts, in their own esteem, with kingly rights and prerogatives now outmoded.

VENUE CHANGE URGED The report urges that in contempt actions, asf in other court proceedings, there be granted the rights of change of venue, disqualification -of judges, trial by jury and a broad right to appeal. Only In this way, it is contended, can the full rights of the people as defined under the American Constitution be brought back to the point the founders intended. These arguments In behalf of the principle of the people's right to discuss and criticise judicial procedure are prefaced with a guild statement that as between The Times and the Bar Association its "natural sympathies are with the Bar Association." NATIONAL GROUP The guild is a national association of chapters in various cities i whereas bar associations in various communities are essentially local bodies. The Ixs Angeles chapter of the guild is headed by Superior Judge Robert W. Kenny, president, and Charles J.

Katz, vice-president. These two made up the special committee which drafted the contempt report. The report was made public yesterday by Guild Secretary Clore Warne. A number of members of the guild, which has some 200 members in Los Angeles and 10,000 nationally, also belong to the Turn to Page 6, Column I Pair Survive Leap From Falling Plane OAKLAND, June 27. (JV) Two aviators leaped with parachutes from a falling experimental plane over San Francisco Bay today and survived.

Michael C. Casserly, test pilot, was rescued by a boatman, and Harold Webb, designing engineer, swam and waded more than a mile to shore. The plane, diving out of control from an altitude of 20,000 feet, splintered to bits as it hit the bay. pointment of a wage-hour administrator, and well-informed officials said they expected the President to fill the post before he starts on his trip to the West July 7. The act applies to industries In interstate commerce, with some exceptions.

They will be required to pay a minimum wage of 25 cents an hour during the first year after October 24. During the second year and five subsequent years the wage; rate minimum will be 30 cents, and at the end of seven years after the act goes into effect, the flat minimum will be 40 cents. MAXIMUM HOURS To place a ceiling over hours the measure provides a maximum work week of forty-four hours the first year, forty-two hours the second year and forty hours thereafter. The administrator is empowered to set up industry committees to Investigate wage conditions in various industries and to recommend the payment of the highest minimum rates as soon as economically justified. Thus, the 40-cent minimum may be reached in some industries in much less than seven years.

Experts in the Labor Department, where the newly created wage and hour division will be established, pointed out that the administration of the act and the recommendations for payment of the highest minimum wage will all revolve on the question of "economic feasibility." CONSIDER CONDITION'S In determining the highest feasible minimum the industry committees, made up of repre-ientatives of the public, employers and the employees, will consider competitive conditions affected by transportation and living costs, comparable wages paid under collective agreements and voluntarily maintained minima. The measure also prohibits "oppressive child labor," ex-tmpts some industries from wage and hour regulation and provides payment of time and a half for overtime except in sea-Turn to Tagu 4, Column 1 'of attempted murder is a sentence of not more than twenty years. That for assault with to commit murder is from one to fourteen years. Sentences" on these charges will run concurrently. The penalty for the malicious use of explosives is a sentence of from one year to life.

The term fixed by the board on this conviction will be served after the sentence on the other two counts is completed. Thus, it is impossible to determine th length of Kynette's sentence until the prison board rules on all three convictions. ALLEN'S SENTENCE Allen was convicted on only one count in the indictment, that of malicious use of explosives, carrying an indeterminate sentence of from one year to life. His i term, also, will be fixed by the board. His attorney, Richard Cantil-Ion, after sentence was pronounced, asked for a two-day stay of execution and is prepared to argue that the' court instead of the prison board had power to fix sentence under the particular charge involved.

NOTICE OF APPEAL Judge Ambrose indicated that it was evident that the Jury did not think that Allen should punished as severely as Kynette. Attorney George Rochester, representing the convicted po lice captain, filed oral notice that he intended to carry an appeal the Judgment to-the higher courts. 1 luiiumu rniriil. mkiiiciiw came at 8 p.m. after the court had been in almost continuous session since 2 o'clock in the afternoon, most of the time being consumed by the two defense attorneys in arguments for a new trial and a short counterargument by Eugene Williams, Chief Deputy District Attorney.

KYNETTE MAKES SPEECH The crowd that filled the courtroom during the early afternoon did not diminish until sentence had been passed and lent color to reports earlier in the day that an attempt might be made upon the lives of the defendants. Squads of uniformed deputy sheriffs and plain-clothes detectives from the District Attorney's office were on constant guard.

Hoover Points to Danger Road Ex-President Urges Voters to Act Above Partisan Politics SAN JOSE, June 27, OP) Former President Hoover in a brief public address tonight asserted Roosevelt administration methods "are the paving stones on the dangerous road which have wrecked liberal democracies all over the world." The occasion was a mass meeting on behalf of John Z. Anderson of San Juan, candidate for the Republican nomination to the Eighth Congressional District. ATION AL CRISIS Hoover urged election next November of anti-New Deal Congressmen, whether Republican or Democratic, saying the national crisis "demands action far above partisan politics." "Such an election, by demonstrating that the government had changed its direction, would restore hope' and confidence in the future," the former Executive said.

"It would renew initiative and enterprise in our whole economic system. It would instantly restore jobs to millions of men." Hoover said the Roosevelt administration had been experimenting for six years, "and the voters are still In the hole," and urged that Uie voters "take Turn I Page 10.

McCormick Hunt Theory Shifts Kidnoping Hinted as Possible Fate of Chicago Youth Illustrated en Pag 18, Part I NEW YORK, June 2R (Tuesday) (UP.) The Daily News, in a special dispatch from "Albuquerque, N. today said that "kidnaping was reckoned as a theory" in the disappearance of 'Medill McCormick, 21-year- old heir to a Chicago publishing fortune. RUMOR SPRKADS "No definite information has come to the authorities to sup port the kidnaping hypothesis; but certain circumstantial indi cations caused the rumor to be spread," the News said. McCormick "might have been followed by another motor car and it is quite possible that this pursuit went unobserved by anyone now prepared to tell of it," the News dispatch said. OBTAIN KI 1 RITA NCR The newspaper also said that it is "general knowledge" that McCormick came into his inheritance last August.

The five-day search for McCormick in the Sandia Mountains near Albuquerque, where the missing youth's companion, Richard Whitmer, was found dead at the foot of a cliff last Friday, had uncovered no clue to bis fate up to darkness last night.
