MASON CITY GLOBE-GAZETTE, APRIL 18 1935 FIVE BACK TO GLASS ATMUSCATINE High School Students End Strike; Expect Teachers to Be Reinstated. MUSCATINE, April 18. UP)-Muscatine high school students returned to their classes here today and members of the board of education sat down at a conference table to iron out the" difficulties which precipitated a student strike. The strike, called yesterday afternoon in protest of the board's failure to re-elect three instructors to the faculty, was called off last night when leaders saidi they had been assured the instructors would be reinstated. Will Be Re-Employed.

Reliable informants among the faculty and Muscatine citizens today said the board probably would re-employ the three faculty members--Principal Fred Messenger, Coach Leonard Hunn and mathematics instructor' Marinus Jensen-who were not reappointed when the school board rehired all other teachers at a meeting Tuesday night. Rallying to the support of nearly 1,000 striking students who yesterday afternoon paraded in protest against the board's action through the business section, a large crowd of business and professional men last night assembled in front of the city hall. Delegation to Appear. There was talk among the group that a delegation would appear before the board to seek the resignation of some of its members. When a group from the crowd entered the building.to appear before the board which was supposed to be in secret session there were no members to be found.

The teachers committee of the board called before it yesterday the three instructors involved in the controversy. Shortly afterwards Messenger held a conference with student strike leaders. He coun- selled them to call off their plans to picket the school today, and return to their classes. Petitions urging a return to school were circulated among the students and Jack Strain, president of the student council, announced the strike was over.

Any New Law on Beer Held "Improbable" DBS MOINES, April 18. by the present legislature of any beer law modification was described today as "improbable" by leaders in the Iowa house as a consequence of the lower branch action "yesterday in rejecting the form of the senate beer bill. Suspending its rules to make possible consideration of the senate measure, the house voted 73 to 25 to strike all but the title and by amendment substitute the voluminous bill prepared in the house liquor control committee which rewrites the entire beer law. "The senate plavnly showed its dislike for many features of the house bill by rejecting similar proposals when it passed its beer bill Tuesday," Representative Paul Freburn declared. "By insisting in this substitution the bill probably will end in a deadlock that can't be corrected before the assembly adjourns." Would Define Powers.

The senate bill would have amended the present law to increase and more clearly define regulatory powers of local councils and boards of supervisors over class permit holders selling- beer by the drink or package. The house bill, while also correcting enforcement provisions lacking in the present law, would place final authority in a state permit board with power to review activities of local permit issuing bodies. Sixty-seven amendments to the house bill remained on file today despite the disposal of 14 yesterday following rejection of the senate bill. 2 Amendments Pass. Two amendments written into the measure would allow city councils and boards of supervisors to use their discretion in issuing permits to retail dealers.

The amendments changed the wording of the bill from "shall issue" to "may issue." Another proposal would have by the same change in language made optional with the treasurer of state the issuance of permits to wholesalers and brewers. It was defeated 44 to 42. A proposal by Representative A. H. Avery (R) of Clay to permit beer taverns within 150 feet of churches and schools instead of 300 feet was defeated.

Avery argued that "these beer parlors don't hurt churches, and churches might help some of the folks inside the parlor." He said he had noticed the establishments a churches were most orderly. Representative J. R. Campbell (R) of Clarke suggested none be allowed unless 300 Icet from a church. HOMESTEAD ACT VETO IS ARGUED (Continued from pace 1) ing revenue, the chain store tax bill, if adopted by the senate, could be depended upon for "from four million to six million dollars." Representative Moore of Benton said mechanical Imperfections In the operation of the homestead bill make it undesirable.

He pointed out that refunds would vary in different counties because of varrying numbers of home owners. He also warned that to make up deficiencies for diverted funds would mean an approximate six mill increase in state levies." He also declared that urban dwellers would obtain a greater benefit than farmers. Cundy Against Bill. Representative J. E.

Cundy (D) of Black Hawk, also speaking against the bill, declared himself in favor of homestead exemption, "but not when it will make a 38 M- per cent increase in the tax of four- fifths of the population." Representative J. P. Gallagher (D) of Iowa, urging that the veto be sustained, declared that mechanics of the measure make it unworkable. He estimated it would be four to five years before homestead rea.l estate records could be properly segregated and machinery to handle the system of tax computations could be set up. Representative Charles G.

Johnson (D) of Buena Vista also urged sustaining of the veto, while Representatives William J. Dreessen (D) of Crawford, Lamar P. Foster (D) of Cedar and Gustave Alesch (D) of Plymouth spoke for passage over the governor's action. SENATE BUDGET BILL IS HIGHER (Continued from page 1) institutions. The senate boosted this allowance to $6,681,226.

More For Schools. The house had proposed a total of $5,564,725, while the governor and comptroller had recommended 55,837,220.

Introduced in House. The house bill, provisions of which were announced yesterday, had been drafted and introduced in the lower branch Clerka in the senate were busy preparing the senate committee's measure for early consideration. The comparative totals in the two bills indicated that the allowance for the board of education institutions will be the major difference between the two branches which must be settled before an accord can be reached. Legislative leaders are hopeful of obtaining early action on the appropriations measure in order to clear the way for the adjournment of the assembly, which has been set for next week. JOHNSON WOULD GO ON WITH NRA (Continued from pngc 1) sledge hammer cracking up a solid brick.

It was the collapse of an empty shell." With this collapse, and the downfall sipiral which followed, Johnson said, only five types of concerns could survive. He named them as "the concern with the big war chest and a swollen surplus;" "the natural monopoly," "the dealers in Indispensable," "he sweatshop," and "the ghoul--buyer and operator of bankrupt stocks and assets." Collapse "Complete." "This is where our economic system was trending from before the war and its utter and complete collapse in March, 1933," he added. "This is what happened to us under the anti-trust acts, the federal trade commission, and the doctrine of laissez faire and it happened uninterruptedly and with no relieving incident for a period of 25 years. "I don't know a great industrial country that does not recognize the necessity for taking control of this tendency which is going on all over the world. "I freely admit the faults and errors of the NRA and will fight as hard as anybody to correct them.

But it was the first intelligent attempt ever made by this government to check this tendency. I won't admit its failure. Especially I won't accede to any madness that would remove its control and go back to the unregulated condition of futility that preceded it." Says Labor Aided. "Labor has been i helped. It has been hurt by not getting, the benefit intended by section 7 (A).

We should cure that "The consumer has been helped by being given the power to consume at all. He was on the verge of losing it. "On the whole my conclusion is clean up NRA--don't destroy it. Let us scrub our infant offspring vigorously, but let us not throw the baby down the drain pipe with the dirty water." Defends Provisions. Defending the fair practice provisions of the codes against charges that they created monopoly, Johnson said something of this nature was necessary to make it possible for industry to acce.pt minimum standards on wages and maximum hours.

He contended fair trade practice could not be restricted to the natural resource industries. "The extent to which you need fair trade practices to protect wage schedule is not a question of natural resource or processing or even selling," he said. "It is a question of the circumstancce of each particular case in every field of commerce and industry." MRS, CHATMAN, OSAGE IS DEAD Succumbs Following Illness of Two Months; Three Children Survive.

PATMAN SCORES HARRISON BILL Sponsor of Inflation Bonus Measure Bitter Enemy of Compromise. WASHINGTON, April 18.

UP-Representative Patman of, Texas whose bill to pay the bonus with new currency already has passed the house, appeared today to be the most bitter opponent of the compromise bonus bill offered yesterday by Senator Harrison The Texan lashed out harder than other critics at the proposal of the Mississippian, who predicts his plan will gain President Roosevelt's approval. Ex-service men would rather lose the bonus battle than accept the compromise, Patman contended. He coupled this with a prediction that the house would stand by his bill. Advocates of cash payment were generally hostile to the Harrison measure, which would offer the veterans negotiable bonds in exchange for their bonus certificates. But most of them withheld comment pending further study the bill or professed to see some good in it.

"The Harrison bill' is a step in the right direction, but only a step," said a statement issued by James E. Van Zandt, commander-in-chief of the veterans of foreign wars. "As it stands, the measure would fall far short of what World war veterans consider an equitable settlement of their adjusted service pay." Mark Twain's Daughter to Play Orchestrelle in Centennial Program HANNIBAL, April a part of the formal opening of the Mark Twain museum, one of the features of the Mark Twain centennial celebration here this year, Mme. Clara Clemens Gabrilowitsch, daughter the beloved author, will speak in Hannibal Thursday, April 25, and will play a selection on Mark Twain's orchestrellc, one of the items displayed in the museum. Walter Russell, noted New York sculptor, will present to the museum his latest creation, a colossal bust of Mark Twain.

Russell will make a short presentation speech and take part in other features of the mueum opening. Opening of the museum will be one of a series of events honoring the one hundredth birthday of Mark Twain, who spent his boyhood in Hannibal and gathered here many of the incidents and characters which he later put into his books. The orchestrelle which will be played by Mme Gabriiowitsch, wife of Ossip director of the Detroit symphony orchestra, was one of the famous humorist- philosopher's favorite possessions. He purchased it in 1904, shortly after the death of his wife, and in the music played by it be attempted to find partial consolation for his loss.

The instrument and music rolls are part of the Mark Twain collection of the State Historical society of Missouri, Columbia, and haw been loaned to the museum by that society. PLAN PACTS TO PRESERVE PEACE Laval Returns to Paris to Press for Conclusion of Russian Treaty. By K1CHAKD G. MASSOCK GENEVA, April 18. men of Europe turned today from denunciation of Germany's violation of the Versailles treat to the negotiation of new pacts intended to guard against future war.

Pierre Laval, French foreign minister, who played a leading part in yesterday's criticism by the league of nations council of the reich's unilateral abrogation of the treaty's military clauses, returned to Paris to press plans for concluding a mutual assistance pact with Soviet Russia. He took along a tentative draft of the agreement which he negotiated here with Maxim Litvinoff, soviet commissar for foreign affairs. The draft was to be submitted to the French cabinet for approval. Swift, Joint Action. Swift, joint action against an aggressor nation is the essential element of the Franco-Russian agreement.

Litvinoff preferred to have the two countries act without awaiting the judgment of the council 'of the league of nations, but France was understood to have wished to keep the pact scrupulously within the framework of the league and seek the council's judgment whenever possible. The extent to which mutual aid will be automatic is expected to require elucidation in further negotiations. A fundamental point of the projected accord is that the council will be convoked in extraordinary session within -18 hours in the event of a threat of war. At Liberty to Act. If the council should then fall to decide unanimously which nation was the aggressor, France and Russia, like all other states, would be free under the covenant to "mam- tain right and justice." This is interpreted to mean that France and Russia would be at liberty to act quickly together.

If the council should agree upon designation of the aggressor, France and Russia conceivably might be called upon to apply whatever punitive measures the league determined to invoke under the covenant. Plan Danubian Pact. Members of the little entente-Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Rumania--met to consider the future of the proposed Danubian pact tit the light of what generally is expected will be Reichsfuehrer Hitler's refusal to join in guaranteeing Austria's independence as a consequence of the league council's action. A Czechoslovak mutual assistance pact with Russia, modeled along the lines of that advanced by France, was outlined in conversations between Litvinoff and Dr. Eduard Bcnes, Czechoslovak foreign minister.

Dr. Benes was expected to go to Moscow in June to sign the accord. Hunt Missing lowan. FORT DODGE, April 18. UB-- Officers have begun a statewide search for Cecil Perkins, 33, auto-' mobile salesman, when his wife reported he had been missing since Sunday.
