A presidential conference with cabinet members and administration spenders led to widespread belief tonight that President Roosevelt would outline his future course in many fields, including foreign affairs, to congress and the nation Thursday. Mr.

Roosevelt summoned five cabinet members and the chiefs of his major spending agencies to the White House to discuss a special message to congress and a radio address. The mes- ews and Views Of The Sentinel Employes of the Santa Cruz Sentinel are not permitted to serve as publicity agents for candidates seeking public office for the specific reason that this firm is in the newspaper business. We consider it a newspaper's responsibility to report both sides of every question, and to demand that each member of the staff shall accept no remuneration for copy written for this paper other than the salary paid by The Sentinel. We give this explanation because Sentinel reporters are now being offered jobs by candidates who, being laymen, are unaware of the consequences of such an association. Of course the candidates are too busy to write their own publicity in acceptable style, and it is only natural that they will try to hire newspapermen for part-time employment without intent of any resultant partial handling of campaign news by the paper to which their would-be agents are attached.

Since this is the season for candidates to formulate cam paign plans we think it is well for us to explain our position and establish an understanding with all concerned in the matter. The Sentinel expects each employe to report news impartially. We feel that anv merri ly- Displaying bandaged heads they a group of self-styled "labor Sacramento.

PKAC'K FOR CROCKETT Crockett, April 12 (P) Members of warring AFL and CIO unions today accepted a peace formula which made immediate re-opening of the Calilornia-Hawaiian sugar refinery at Crockett, strike-bound for weeks, a distinct possibility. In separate mass meetings, the striking CIO Warehousemen's Union and the AB'L Sugar Refiners' Union approved a peace plan work ed out after an all-night session of rank and file delegates from both unions, in conference with Sheriff John A. Miller.

The measure gives the government authority "until the close of the present session of parliament and not later than July 31," to deal with national defense, finances and rebuilding of the national economy by decree.

Such government decrees must be ratified, however, by parliament sometime before December 31. With 140,000 workers on strike, the premier told parliament that the des tiny of France was at stake and in- sisted in the face of rearmed Eur- "Pe war dangers, every one of Frances internal weaknesses under mined the nations defense. The first reaction from Daladier's declaration was the announcement by Jacques Duclos, secretary of the French Communist party, that strikers in the nationalized aviation factoriesnumbering about 20,000 were ready to return to work. Duclos is a deputy. Duclos' announcement was con- firmed by the minister of air Guv Lachambre, who said the strikers agreed to work 45 instead of 40 hours a ween, wiui an increase in pay ol '-r centimes (about 2 cents) per hour.

Both Socialists and Communists joined the center and right in giv- I ing Daladier his huge chamber ma-! jority. SEALED IN ADVANCE London, April 12 UR). Italy vir- lually has sealed in advance a Brit- ish-Italian friendship pact which diplomats said tonight "might avert an otherwise inevitable major war I within two years." I Premier Mussolini did this by promising a welcome to British War I Minister Leslie Hore-Belisha, who I is to arrive in Rome April 22 to round out the new alignment, Great Britain's cabinet was expect ed to give final approval tomorrow to the pact designed to alter radically the course of world diplomacy and reduce European tension. The agreement is to be signed Saturday. When Hore-Belisha reaches Rome it will be the first time in nearly three years that a cabinet minister has visited Italy.

Mussolini's promise of a welcome came as a quick response to Brita-ain's pledge yesterday to work through the League' of Nations for recognition of Italy's two-year-old conquest of Ethiopia. Reliable sources said it was essential for Britain to sell British-Italian co-operation to Mussolini before Reichsfuehrer Hitler visits Rome in May. Branciforte Work Started Work on the widening and improving of Granite Creek road in the Branciforte district was started yesterday as a WPA project, Mrs. Rose Rostron announced last night.

Opposition Stymied A proposal that $1,250,000,000 be appropriated for the generally lighter work relief projects of the works progress administration is expected by all hands.

Opposition forces, frankly seeing little prospect of rejecting such a proposal, are concentrating on a fight to earmark the sum or most of it for use for definite purposes. On the subject of unemployment and relief, John L. Lewis told a meeting of CIO leaders today the administration must find a "realistic remedy'' and apply it at once. Hc said "wishful thinking needs to be I replaced by we nlanned that jobs in private industry "can bo created under the leadership of federal government, if it will start tne creation of purchasing power.

Playground Plans Held In Abeyance Options for purchase of two parcels of property adjacent to Gault school grounds, considered for many years as feasible for extension of playground area, were tabled last night by the board of education.

The options were obtained by Wilson local real estate dealers. Mary A. Smith has offered her property on Broadway to the board for $8000, while the adjoining lot of A. J. Pine, at the corner of Broadway and Seabright, was priced at $3500.

W. L. Moore, piesident of the board, explained that the trustees have for many years considered the purchase of these two parcels and expressed the opinion that the school grounds should be extended to cover the whole block. J. Hauschildt opposed taking any action until an appraisal of the property has been made.

There are four houses on the property. The two parcels combined have a frontage of 189 feet on Broad- way and 110 feet on Seabright oiks Cling To Earnings Of Kid Star Los Angeles, April 12 iA') Jackie Coogan declared today that during the Santa Anita racing season he sat the dollar seals and made $2 bets' while his stepfather, Arthur L.

Coogan, now 23 and married to Betty Citable, film actress, filed his suit yesterday, quoting his mother as saying, "It's all mine and Arthur's, and so far as we ale concerned you will never get a cent." "I am deeply hurt by Jackie's actions," Mrs. Bernstein said. "He and I always have been so close and there never was any trouble between us. I am sure he has been misguided by outside influence.

"Jackie has had all that he is entitled to and more. He isn't entitled to that money. It belongs to us." "The law is on our si le," Bernstein declared. "Jackie Coogan will not' get a cent of income from his past earnings. Lawyers tell his mother and me that every dollar a kid earns before he is 21 years old belongs to his parents.

None of that money he earned belongs to him. John E.

The second annual services, sponsored by the San Lorenzo Valley Chamber of Commerce, will be held next Sunday morning at sunrise on this fite, located near Saratoga Gap. In such beautiful environment the story of the risen Christ will be commemorated by representatives of all denominations.

Here one will witness a setting unparalleled for natural beauty, an appropriate part of the spiritual service. Santa Cruzans will assemble in charming De Laveaga Park for the Easter rites.

Under the peace formula approved by the AFL refinery workers and the CIO warehousemen, the AFL group would reinstate 45 AFL "bolters" who joined the CIO Sugar Refinery Workers' Union, a minority group in the plant, and later were charged with dual unionism by the AFL.

Three discharged officials of the CIO sugar refinery union, under the plan, also would agree to withdraw charges of unfair labor practices filed with the national lalxr relations board against the company. In consideration of this action, the three would be taken into the ranks of the warehousemen's union.
