Here morning-glories, purple, rose, Climb, climb to reach their heaven; And portulaccas yellow, red, Flower each day seven times seven! And children's feet make many a print, And children's laughter is long; It seems that here the whole earth's glad, That here the whole world's song! And if one cannot explore lost worlds, Or lift old kingdoms' shrouds, One can make friends with mysterious skies, One can talk with vagabond clouds. And if one's feet cannot touch the grass, One's head can touch to the sky; And one can watch the whole round world Like water flowing by! -Mary Siegrist.

Two Other Issues Two more issues threatened to bring heated debate to the convention floor. The federation executive council's report on its decision on the internal strife in the building trades department over the readmission of the carpenters, electrical and bricklayers unions appeared imminent. A controversy was expected later on the establishment of a policy as to whether federation unions should be organized on craft or industry lines. President Green's statement followed declarations in Washington by Donald Richberg, recovery coordinator, that elections to determine representation in collective bargaining could elect leaders only for those voting. Labor leaders contend that decisions of the national labor relations board give the majority group the right to conduct bargaining activities.

Understanding Needed "It seems it is clearly evident there is a need of understanding between the administrators of the NRA and the national labor relaad tions board, the petroleum, steel and railway board on the question of collective bargaining," Green said, "the statement of Mr. Richberg is in distinct opposition to the decisions these boards have made. The coordinator's statement is undemocratic and fatal to the principle of collective bargaining. "Nothing Mr. Richberg can say will change situation and he cannot evade the issue through the any abstract or academic discussions.

The labor board's decisions in two. cases have clearly established that the majority should bargain for the entire industry." President Green declined to make any statement after the federation executive council had met, in executive session for four hours discussing the rift in the building trades department, which last week re-' fused to readmit the three unions after the executive council had ordered them reinstated. Authoritative sources said the council discussed at great length the question of declaring the vote of the department illegal and void. Whether the council had decided upon this action could not be confirmed but if it so acts, the fight will come to the floor of the convention when the department appeals from the verdict, The consensus was that the executive council would be sustained on the convention floor in whatever action it takes. Secretary Perking addresses the convention during the morning after which she meets with the league of women voters.

Tonight she will be a dinner guest of the Federation executive council, The convention program includes an address by Sol A. Rosenblatt, regional NRA director. Arsenal Town Held By Spanish Rebels (Continued From Page One) tremists were critically injured when strikers assaulted a civil guard detachment near the Seleguera mines. The extremists were repulsed the authorities rushed reinforcements for the guards. It was reported that the attackers wore red socialist armbands and used army types of guns.

At the Eibar gun manufacturing center, one extremist was killed and wounded in an assault on the arms plant. Planes Ordered Out The government dispatched an air plane squadron to Asturias, which is considered one of the extremists' strongholds following the recent discovery of an armed plot there. The airplanes were to be used not only for reconnaisance but for attack on extremist gatherings. In two small towns in Catalonia the red flag of communism was raised but both places were captured by assault by the civil guards and the extremists fled. At Sallen, several were wounded as the guards expelled extremists.

EDWARDS TRIAL NEARING PANEL (Continued from Page One) struck the girl with the blackjack "to make it appear as an accident." Relations Contrasted Lewis contrasted his relations with the hometown girl against his love letters to Margaret Crain, music teacher of East Aurora, N. whom he had met at college. "What," asked the prosecutor, "did you mean in your letter to Margaret Crain when you wrote, 'You are the only for me eternally'?" "What it says," was the reply.

"Then that's why you killed Freda with a blackjack?" "Freda was dead when I hit her." "You wrote to this girl in East Aurora, No one but God can separate Did you hold Freda higher than God?" "No. I believe in predestination, though." Defense counsel plan to call character witnesses and rest by night. Edward's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Edwards, are to take the stand in defense of their son, FOLEY READY TO HAND GERMAN TO JERSEY COURTS (Continued from Page One) Jersey requests his extradition before the actual trial begins." It was at this point that the prosecutor said that if New Jersey requests more time for a grand jury to consider kidnaping and murder charges he would ask the Bronx county court to adjourn the case "to comply with Jersey's desire." Foley reminded his interviewers that Governor A.

Harry Moore, of New Jersey, has said his state would ask extradition of the prisoner. The district attorney declined to comment on the statement of defense counsel, James M. Fawcett, yesterday that he would ask for a postponement of the trial when it is called next Thursday. He said he would not discuss any of his conversations with the defense counsel or give any opinion of the defense. The Bronx prosecutor today also reiterated previous assertions he had made that New Jersey and Bronx county authorities are working in the "utmost harmony" in the kidnap investigation.

"I want to make this clear," Foley said. "In fact I can't make it too plain that New Jersey and the Bronx are working in perfect cooperation and harmony. Our relationship could not be pleasanter." He said that he had talked this morning with Attorney General David T. Wilentz, of New Jersey, and added both agreed that some reports were inaccurate in that anything but the most cordial cooperation exists between the two agencies." "Any statement to the contrary Is utterly without foundation," Foley added. Foley said that he knew of no new developments of importance that had come about in the case today.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5-(P)-New Jersey's Governor and other high officials conferred today to discuss the best way to extradite Bruno Richard Hauptmann before New York can. try him on the Lindbergh ransom extortion charge. Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck of Hunterdon County, where Charles A.

Lindbergh, was stolen from his crib in 1932, said a definite disclosure of New Jersey's plans might follow the meeting at Trenton. The Hunterdon grand jury is to consider kidnaping and murder indictments against Hauptmann early next week. Hauptmann's extortion trial been set in the Bronx county court for October 11, but his counsel, James M. Fawcett, said yesterday that he would ask for a postponement." The attorney also promised a fight against extradition. The lawyer announced he would retain handwriting and fingerprint experts to combat whatever evidence District Attorney Samuel J.

Foley may offer in their fields. Experts have said the writing of the ransom notes corresponds to that of the defendant. Hauptmann's mental examination is to be resumed this afternoon, Six psychiatrists, representatives of New Jersey, New York ana the defense, began it yesterday. The carpenter from the Bronx was described as of average intelligence and normal reactions after the first session by Dr. James Spradley, New Jersey psychiatrist.

"He isn't a vicious type," said Dr. Spradley, "and he certainly gave no outward indication that he is trying to fake insanity." Hauptmann was named in Boston last night as the man who helped a man escape from the Westchester County penitentiary in New York four years ago. U. S. Marshal John J.

Murphy said that James Bruce Russell, 8 Federal prisoner, gave him the information. Russell, however, declined to go into details. "If I talk about Hauptmann and the Lindbergh case," Murphy quoted him as saying, "I will be a marked man and some day will be put on the spot. Whatever I say about Hauptmann will hurt him." Carpenters started today to reconstruct Hauptmann's garage, where police found $14,590 of the $50,000 which Colonel Lindbergh paid for the return of his son, already dead. The garage had been torn apart, board by board, after some money was found concealed in a beam.

THREE CARS AND GARAGE BURN AT LOSS OF $1,700 (Continued from Page One) touring car of the same make, neither of which was covered by fire insurance. The other car, a Ford coupe owned by LeRoy Stewart, manager of the local Woolworth store, was covered by insurance, it was understood. Value of the two Post automobiles was estimated at around $1,000 and the Stewart car was valued at around $200, while the destruction of the garages, owned by H. W. Johnson, entailed a loss of something less than $500, which was not covered by insurance.

Residents of the apartment house sleeping in rooms overlooking the row of garages at the rear of the dwelling were awakened at 3:30 o'clock by the glare of flames, which had been raging inside the garages for some time, it was believed. Fire trucks were summoned to the scene, but the fire already had gained such headway that the Post automobiles and the Stewart car could not be saved. Owners of automobiles parked in other garages in the row were able to remove their cars. The garages were metal structures with wood frames. The theory was advanced Friday that the fire start-.

the touring car owned by Mr. Post, and parked in the end garage, and then spread to the two other garages. TROPICAL STORM PASSES MOBILE (Continued From Page One) and possibly gales.

Poisoning Of Actor Veiled By Mystery (Continued From Page One) Dr.

Cornell said he "thought" he recognized Miss there when he arrived. The woman in the apartment did not go to the police station with the actor. Several persons later identified a woman who was seen talking to Grant in the lobby of the apartment as Miss Cherrill. Some said she had her arm around the actor. When Dr.

Cornell and ambulance driver, Bert Tainker, arrived at the Grant apartment, the actor was lying across the bed in his underwear. Grant, who at one time was leading man for Mae West, has had a marked success since coming to the films. He signed a new five-year contract at double his present salary with his studio last week. He and Miss were married last February 9. Early this week Grant announced that he hoped to patch up his troubles with his estranged wife.

NRA BLUE EAGLE TO DROP POLICY OF FIXED PRICES (Continued from Page One) control production and prices in such a way as to bring about wonderful results, is an iridescent dream." Ruling Interpreted, Richberg, in his talk at a National Press club gathering, gave this interpretation of the National Labor Relations Board's ruling on the collective bargaining rights of labor: "They, the board laid down the theory that when an election by any group no matter what its size was held for the purpose of selecting their representatives, those were the men who had been chosen to represent the voters. But the board carefully pointed out that they were not laying down the theory that a majority of all the employes of the plant must be decisive. "If you are going to have a decision made, you have to arrive at a place where the majority will vote and have their decisions accepted. That doesn't determine the right of the minority or an Individual or small group any more than the rights under the laws of the country are determined by the facts that your district has elected a Democrat or Republican to congress. "The individual has the right to represent himself and his grievances and his complaints and has a right to get together a committee in his interests.

That is a separate and individual right but when it comes to the choice of representatives, if he joins in electing representatives, he must abide by the will of the majority of the group."

5-(P) -Judge Walter B. Jones of Montgomery circuit court today denied the petition of Griffith of Birmingham for mandamus to compel the secretary of state to certify his name to the probate judge of Jefferson county as the democratic nominee for Judge No. 3 of Jefferson circuit court. An appeal to the supreme court was indicated. Griffith was nominated by the voters of Jefferson county in the democratic primary but his nomination was voided by the state democratic executive committee after disbarment proceedings had been instituted against him, and the committee designated James Q.

Smith Birmingham as the nominee. Judge Jones, in denying the petition held that "the state democratic state executive committee has full power, both inherent and statutory to revoke a nomination for a state office for a good cause shown and upon a full and fair notice and hearto the accused." Judge Jones held that Griffith had been given fair notice and a full opportunity to be heard and that the committee did not arbitrarily or capriciously but in the manner provided by law. The petition was given a hearing yesterday afternoon before Judge Jones in the Elmore county court at Wetumpka where he has been holding court during the last week due to the illness of Judge Loyd Tate. Under the decision of Judge Jones today, the Secretary of State will certify the name of James Q. Smith, Birmingham attorney, as the cratic nominee for the judgeship unless the decision is reversed on an appeal to the supreme court.

5--(P)-Labor unions united in protest against the American-owned Cuban Telephone Company today, giving impetus to the movement for an island-wide general strike. The national confederation of labor decreed a general strike, to start at midnight Sunday; taxi cab and bus drivers already were out at Santiago, and other unions promised to join them today. The united front of major unions threatened "energetic action" if the telephone company does not reemploy 256 men who participated in a strike some months ago. The company contends that these workers were guilty of sabotage and violence during the walkout. Charging Rogelio Pina, secretary of labor, and the telephone company with responsibility for a "tortuous" situation, the union statement said, "it gives the impression foreign companies are above the laws of Cuba." Added to this controversy and the Santiago strike, where cavalry squadrons have been pressed into action, was a serious situation at Guines, Havana province.

Unions there published a list of demands largely dealing with laws and asking liberation of all political prisoners except followers of former President Machado. Some 15 small bombs were set off in Havana last night but no casualties were reported and damage was slight. So frequent have the explosions become that police have discontinued tabulating them.
