( May 9 (AP)—The Ford Motor Company won in United States Circuit Court today an amend es order forbidding the National La bor Relations Board from withdraw ing records of its case against the company. The effect of the decision, said chief Ford counsel, Frederick Wood, of New York, would be to prevent the labor board from vacating its order or last December 22 and would per mit hearing of the case before the court.

W. Johnson, a company salesman, tried to make his way thro ugh the lines. Sixteen police took part in the meleee. Edgar Flinterman, company presi dent, said, “the plant is in full opera tion,” and declared all but 35 of its 125 employees were at work. The UAWA, affiliated with the CIO called the strike April 19 after union officials said, the company announced a ten percent wage cut. Meanwhile, factionalism within the UAWA was foremost among a half dozen problems before a meeting of its international executive board. What for months had been a rivalry between two groups within the CIO, union, appears to have undergone a realignment that finds the member ship divided under the leadership of three influential UAWA officials. Homer Martin, the union interna tional president, heads the “progres sive” faction, which has remained in the driver’s seat, despite prolonged op position of the group led by Walter Gifford, president of Detroit’s big west side local. Lately, a third faction has merged under the leadership of Richard B’rankenstein. * TeaiHeigh But Politics Is Rather Quiet Except for Talk of Pep per Victory Dnllv Uinpnfoh Itiireiin.

This would seriously delay an essen tial part of French-British reapproach ment with Italy. Both British Foreign Secretary Vis count Halifax and French Foreign Minister Bonnet, in private talks with other delegates in connection with to day’s opening of the session of the League Council, urged them to speed action to free League members to recognize Italian sovereignty over Hailee Selassie’s old domain. Halifax and Bennet wanted public discussion of their “do as you please” proposal to start tomorrow, if pos sible .

Pointed in Criticism and Roosevelt Himself Is Be coming Noticeably Sar castic At His Pr ess Conferences By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, May 9. —Administra- tion attacks on the newspapers are be coming numerous enough to be quite noticeable. President Roosevelt personally has said nothing very specific. Still, it has been very obvious of late that he feels he has a “poor press” and resents it. At his “conferences” with the Wash ington correspondents he has grown more and more sarcastic in his an swers to queries, which apparently he interprets in many instances as in tended to “put him on the spot”—and a “hot spot*. Perhaps the White House tenant would dispute this. The scribes prac tically are unanimous in saying so, however. Anyway there can be no doubt as to the anti-press attitude of such HENDERSON, N.

Seals Aiken, Atlanta attorney, filed a peti tion in superior court today for in corporation of Loyal Southern Meth odists to combat Methodist unification. It was the first of a series of legal actions considered by opponents of the merger, which was approved re cently at the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Birmingham, Ala. Opposition to the movement, how ever, was expressed by the laymen s organization for preservation of the Southern Methodist Church. Among the “specific purposes” of the proposed corporation were listed: “To preserve at all hazards the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, with all its property and its glorious achievements for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ, and for the benefit of mankind. “To preserve the sacred Christian principles and articles of religion of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. “To acquire and establish churches, schools and hospitals.” spokesmen as Senator Sherman Min ton of Indiana and Deputy WPA Ad ministrator Aubrey W.

STEWART Central Press Columnist Washington, May 9.—When New Dealers heard that the Madison (Wi.s.) Capital Times was not going along with the La Follette secession from Rooseveltianism they gave three rous ing cheers. From the New Deal standpoint their enthusiasm was amply justified. The Capital Times is William T. Evjue’s daily. Throughout the period of La Follette Progressive-ism (away back in the elder senator’s day) Evjue’s publication has been that es pecial brand of Progressiveism’s par ticular organ. Its bolt is a sensation of the first political order. If He Fights— As for “Bill” Evjue, a Wisconsian doubtless would be incredulous if told that this outstanding editor has not much of a national reputation—he is so well known within the boundaries of the Badger commonwealth. It probably is a fact, however, that his fame has not spread far beyond. But it will, if La Folletteism develops, with “Bill” fighting it. Had the late Louis McHenry Howe broken with Franklin D. Roosevelt, it could have been no more amazing than Evjue’s break with the sons of his old idol, Senator Robert M. La Continued on Pace Five.) UfATHIR FOR NORTH CAROLINA.

NO ACTIVE BID ON SENATE POST YET ) President Protem May Go to Halstead of Camden, or Gold of Guilford Dally Dispatch Bureau. In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, May 9. —While the speaker ship of the 1939 House has been very much in the limelight, with at least three candidates, Victor Bryant of Durham, Libby Ward of Craven, and Bill Fenner of Nash, creating some excitement in the public prints, very little has been said about the post of president pro tern of the 1939 Senate. Last time Senator Hall Johnston, of Buncombe, now a superior court judge was named. This time the post would, if the rotation procedure is followed go east, though there seems to be no real rule along this line. First easterner to be mentioned in connection with the place is Senator W. I. Halstead of the first district (Camden), whose chief claim to pub lic attention in the 1937 Senate was bis introduction of a bill authorizing a $25,000,000 bond issue for improve ment and maintenance of secondary roads. Halstead has no opposition in his district and if he so desires can de vote his entire time to his protem candidacy, if indeed he really has the bee in his bonnet. Westerner most in the conversations about the man who will preside in the Senate when Lieutenant Governor Horton takes a day off is Senator Thomas J. Gold, of High Point. He is a veteran member, and if he goes after the place could gather more than moderate support, He must, first of all get himself elected as he has an op ponent in>the primary.

Davies Transferred as Ambassa dor from Russia to Bel gium by President Washington, May 9.—(AP)—Chair man O’Connor, Democrat, New York, of the rules committee, proposed to day that the House expedite action on the controverted wage-hour tail. The House has signed up a petition to force action on the legislation, but, under existing rules, it cannot come out before May 23. * O’Connor introduced a resolution to waive the rules and permit the peti tion to be called up at any time. He said that if the House leadership de sired to advance the date of considera tion, he would make “every effort to prevail upon a majority of the com mittee on rules to report out the re solution,” waiving the rules. Speaker Bankhead said, “of course, the President is very anxious to get ''.he bill passed before we adjourn.” Bankhead said he was convinced the House would pass the wage hour ■bill, probably without any substantial amendment. He said monopoly legis lation and reciprocal taxation by the States and Federal governments of one another’s securities were in the same category. One of the major measures on the legislative program advanced a step today when the Senate approved the conference report on the tax revision bill. Joseph E. Davies, of the District of Columbia, present ambassador to Rus sia, was nominated by President Rosevelt to be ambassador to Bel gium. Won’t Lift Munitions Embargo Washington, May 9 (AP) —Presi- dent Roosevelt’s first post-vacation conference with congressional leaders produced a strong indication today the administration will not support efforts to lift the embargo on arms shipments to Spain. Representative Rayburn, of Texas, House Democratic leader, said after the conference he was firmly opposed to modification at this time of the neutrality act as applied to the Span ish civil war. The Texas said in response to ques tions that the Nye resolution which would lift the arms embargo was “mentioned incidentally.” He said he would not attempt to speak for the President on this subject, but as for himself he was opposed to chang ing the present policy. The President arranged to discuss this question and the international situation with Secretary Hull. Operation On Baby Is Performed Chicago, May 9.—(AP)—Science de creed “operate” and two rabHs ap proved, so the left eye of Baby Helaine Colan was removed today on the re commendation of an unusual medical counsel which shouldered Tier parents’ task of deciding whether she should live, at least partly blind, or die even tually of a cancerous growth. A 15-minute operation in a hospital climaxed the tediious and ponderous deliberations on the infant’s fate. The decision was announced by At torney Samuel Hoffman, spokesman for the family, after the medical ex perts met in secret conference with the infant’s father, Dr. Herman Colan, 30, a dentist. The attorney said the counsel re commended the operation be perform ed to arrest the glioma threatening Helaine’s life. Two rabbis were pre sent in an advisory capacity, at the insistence of the mother. The maternal grandfather, Dr. Mor ris Hershman, appeared to supply the medical angle of the case.
