Lewis' Refusal To Discuss Conciliation Regarded As Move For Separation t Industrial Unionists Snub A.F.L. Head Debate On Reinstatement Is Postponed By Garment Workers' Uniont NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-()-William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, said today the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion had "closed the door" for peace between itself and the Federation and predicted that shortly the C.I.O.! would announce itself formally as a rival organization to the Federation. Green, in New York, to attend a private dinner, commented to news- men in a press conference on the re- fusal of John L. Lewis, chairman oft the C.I.O., to confer with him on the organization peace move and said:s "It is one of the closing steps in a deliberate plan and policy originat- ed (by the C...) in the beginning to set up a rival organization to the American Federation of Labor. "I predict that the next step will be the calling of a formal conference at which a rival organization headed by Lewis will be formally launched." Green announced he had sent the following telegram to Lewis in an- swer to Lewis's refusal to confer: "I accept your latest telegram as a stated refusal of the organizations holding memberships in the Commit- tee for Industrial Organization to ap- point a committee to meet with the committee of the Executive Council which has been standing ready to confer since Oct. 8 for the purpose of exploring the possibilities of re-1 cnciliation and of seeking a formulae which might be applied for the solu- tion of the existing differences." s WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.- P)-De- laying until tomorrow determinationt whether to seek reinsta teent in the American Federation of Labor, the Executive Board of International Ladies' Garment Workers Union To- day urged a Constitutional amend- ment giving Congress power "to leg- islate for the protection and ad- vancement" of wage earners.e The Union was ousted from the A.F. of L. for its connection with the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion, headed by John L. Lewis, United Mine Workers president. Tax On Iowant Chain Stores Found Invalid WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-(MP-The old liberal-conservative lineup in the Supreme Court was manifested anew today as it declared unconstitutional a section of an Iowa chain store tax imposing a graduated levy on gross receipts. That ruling, one of 20 issued in the first opinion session of the new term' found Justices Brandeis and Cardozo dissenting. Their colleague, Justice Stone, was absent because of illness, but he usually has lined up with them. The Iowa case was decided in the light of a 1935 ruling holding un- constitutional the 1930 Kentucky tax on the sales of retail merchants. Stone joined his two liberal col- leagues in dissenting from that opin- ion. Chief Justice Hughes and Justice Roberts, whohold the balance of power, voted in the Iowa case with their conservative colleagues, Van Devanter, McReynolds, Sutherland and Butler. Hughes announced from the bench that Stone, ill with dysentery, had not participated in any of the opin- ions or orders made public today. It was explained unofficially, how- ever, that if any cases argued dur- ing the next two weeks of his ab- sense produce a tie vote, his opinion would determine the issue. All of to- day's decisions were unanimous ex- cept two and they were to 2 and 6 to 1. No Word Received Of Missing Student, No word has been received yet con- cerning the whereabouts of Woodrow Impromptu Carillon Performance Given For Pres. Ruthven Ten thousand students paused about noon yesterday and decided the music was from the carillon tower, and went about their business as "Old Black Joe" and then the "Victors" were played on the bells. Those persons on campus who knew that Wilmot Pratt, 25-year-old caril- lonneur was in New Jersey on his honeymoon, wondered who was doing the playing. The facts-revealed by a careful investigation by the Daily are these: President Ruthven wanted to hear how the bells sounded now that they are all completed and plans are be- ing made for the first recital on i them, so Prof. Earl V. Moore of the music school climbed through the stacks of limestone blocks and cement mixers and offered an informal con- - -ert. He played only the two melo- dies mentioned, and last night pro- nounced the music "highly satisfac- tory." At present the clock mechanism to be used in playing the hourly chimes is being adjusted, according to Pro- fessor Moore. Stonework on the tower has now1 reached the eighth floor, two floors! below -the bell chamber. Inside the tower practice rooms are being built and the stairway to the ninth floor is being lined with tile. Congressional Trend Called Most Important1 Prof. Pollock Terms Dem. Gains In House, Senate Very Significant The chief significance of the recent national election is not to be read in the light of the Presidential election, but in the trend evidenced in the House of Representatives and Senatet elections, Prof. James K. Pollock of the political science department told an audience of nearly 150 persons' Sunday in the Union ballroom. Pro- fessor Pollock's address, an analysis of the recent election., was, the, first. of the Union Sunday Forum series. "The Democratic increase in the! House of Representatives and the Senate is the most significant aspect of the election. It indicates wide- spread support," Professor Pollock explained," and the division of the American people into liberals and: conservatives." The Roosevelt landslide was not unfortunate, he said, for "it fixes re- sponsibility more definitely than any time in a long period of years. "I look upon the election as a great popular movement. It was not as the one in Jackson's time, when it was! a protest movement. This is a land- slide of support," he said. "Franklin D. Roosevelt succeeded in doingwhat Theodore Roosevelt attempted to do. He combined the urban workers and the agrarian fac- tion. The election didn't bring about a class division, as some have said. It was the coming-of-age of the city dwellers, but it was not dominated by them," Professor Pollock said. He pointed out that with three- fourthsofmthe statesin their cn- trol, the Democrats should "by their own power be able to enact a consti- tutional amendment." "The campaign was directed on the Democratic side with consummate skill by James A. Farley. If both sides are organized as well, as they should be, then there would be no The Republicans should give a good deal more thought to their lead- ers. I don't believe it did the Re- publican campaign any good to have Al Smith and Jim Reed going around speaking for the Republican party." Professor Pollock quoted Alfred E. Smith as saying "what this country needs is a constructive, not a destruc- tive" program after his defeat, in the Presidential election in 1928, and, (Continued on Page 2) G.M.C.

Day Elected New Cornell Head Former Dean At Michigan To Succeed Dr. Farrand Next Spring Committee Makes Unanimous Choice Prominent Finance Expert To Become University's Fifth President Dr. Edmund Ezra Day, first dean of the University School of Business Ad- ministration, has been named the next president of Cornell University, it was made known yesterday. Dr. Day, at present director of the social science programs of the Rockefeller Foundation, will succeed Dr. Livings- ton Farrand who retires in June. Dr. Day became affiliated with the University in 1922 as professor of economics and organizer of the busi- ness administration school. He was also appointed to the office of dean of administration, a position now ex- tint, once held by President Ruth- yen. In 1925 he was made director of the Bureau of Business Research or- ganized in that year. He remained at Michigan until 1927, leaving to become associated! with the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial in New York City. A graduate of Harvard and Dart- mouth universities, he was succes- sively instructor, assistant professor, and professor of economics at Har- vard from 1910 to 1922. Since he joined the Rockefeller Foundation in 1928 his advice as an economist has been frequently solicited by the gov- ernment. He was one of 'two repre- sentatives of the United States on the preparatory commission of ex- perts for the world monetary and ec- onomic conference in 1932-33. The announcement of Dr. Day's electionsand acceptance bywthe board of, trustees of Cornell was mad.e public after the board's regular au- tumn meeting. At the election the trustees followed the unanimous recommendation of a joint commit- tee of the faculty and trustees. Dr. Day has devoted much of his energy to public service, acting as statistician for the division of plan- ning and statistics of the United States Shipping Board for seven months during the World War. Dr. Day will be Cornell's fifth president. No date has been set for his inauguration. Under his direction the .social sci- ences program of the Rockefeller Foundation has devoted itself to three major fields of study: social security, international relations, and public administration. Theatre Group Plans 'Yeoman Of The Guard' "The Yeoman of the Guard," a Gil- bert and Sullivan opera, will be the first production of the current year to be jointly offered by the School of Music and Play Production. The opera will be given during Thanks- giving week, Nov. 25-28 including four evening performances and one mat- inee on Saturday. The production will be under the direction of Prof. Arthur Hackett of the School of Music and Valentine B. Windt of Play Production. Differing from previous produc- tions, the method of choosing the cast will enable any student on the cam- pus to try out for the opera. All those desiring to try out have been re- quested by the directors to report to the Laboratory Theatre any after- noon or telephone. The selection of "Yeoman of the Guard" was made by a group of stu- dents after eliminating all previously given Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The selection was then approved by a committee from Play Production and the School of Music.

Vows Short Hours, Adequate Pay 'Unmistakable Mandate,' Spys President, Viewing Election Results Amendments Chief Discussion Topic Andrews Says N. Y. Under Stress Because Of Other States' Low Standards WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-()-In- terpreting the election as an! "unmistakable mandate," President Roosevelt today recommended a broad program of labor legislation by the states and pledged Federal re- enforcement "when problems assume an interstate or a national character." In a letter read to the Third Na- tional Conference on Labor Legisla- tion, he enumerated "reasonably short working hours" and "adequate an- nual incomes" among desired objec- tives. No mention of the Supreme Court was made; but the court's action on legislation like NRA, the Guffey Act and the New York Wage Law-aimed at similar objectives - entered into the discussions among the delegates. Should the projected Federal and state efforts fall athwart the Supreme Court, it was generally assumed, in view of the Democratic platform, that a constitutional amendment would be sought. The desirability of recom- mending one at once received some consideration in the private discus- sions. Under the guidance of Secretary Perkins, who called the conference, committees set about studying wage and hour and other problems. Elm- er F. Andrews, state industrial com- missioner for New York and head of the Committee on Hours, was one who believed some sort of Federal hour regulation imperative. "In a state with advanced social legislation like New York," he said, "the manufacturers feel the stress of competition from states with lower standards. The problem has cer- tainly to be attacked from the na- tional viewpoint. Those of us work- ing for these purposes in New York have been holding up for a while to be guided by what the Federal gov- ernment does." Dr. Van Slyke Wins Medal For Research Dr. Donald Dexter VanSlyke, a graduate of the University of Mich- igan and a member of the Rockefeller Institute staff for Medical Research was yesterday awarded the Philip A. Conne gold medal of the Chemists { Club of New York for this year. Thenmedal, founded by Mrs. Philip A. Conne in memory of her husband, is given annually "for systematic and painstaking work of immense im- portance to clinical medicine." Dr. VanSlayke was awarded the medal in recognition of work in blood analysis and gasometric micro-analysis and of his research on respiratory and renal reactions, diabetes and nephri- tis.

Disaoreement Halts Coastal= StrikeParley Ships Tied Up In Honolului Will Be Provided With Crews By Union SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-()- Disagreement over release of strike- bound ships in Hawaii arose today to halt temporarily attempts at resum-i ing negotiations to settle the Pacific Coast's general maritime strike. More than 150 vessels remained tied-up in coast ports, where 37,000 union maritime workers are on strike. Unions claimed 213 ships and 16,986 men were idle through sympathy walkouts in Eastern and Gulf ports. Employers disputed the latter fig- ures. The coast unions' joint policy com- mittee, reverting to a former plan of permitting vessels to return to home ports, notified union officials in Hon- olulu, where 600 travelers are ma- rooned, to furnish crews for seven ships tied up there. The often-delayed Federal investi- gation of the maritime situation by the United States Maritime Commis- sion was postponed for the fourth time by Rear Admiral Harry G. Ham- let, commission representative. Hamlet, pointing to developments which he described as "encouraging" toward settlement of the strike, said he did not want to be in the position of hampering negotiations. Other sources said renewal of the hearing might lead to further clashes between union and employer counsel, such as that of a week ago when the union representatives walked out pro- testing Hamlet had allowed "contro- versial issues" to be brought in. KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Nov. 9.-(A') -The pinch of the maritime strike was felt by shoppers here today when stores rationed eggs and vegetables from nearly exhausted supplies. Mer- chants estimated all perishables would be exhausted in two days.

MADRID, Nov. 9.-()--Spanish insurgents, sweeping all resistance before them in an avalanche of steel, drove to within 500 yards of Madrid proper tonight. Their powerful assault was checked by Government defenders within 500 yards of the Angel Gate and Toledo Bridge leading into the streets of the Capital The attack came down the Portu- gal highroad through Carabanchel Bajo after deadly artillery fire and four air raids had driven the govern- ment forces back two miles. Officials of the Madrid morgue said 30 shell-torn bodies had been carted in following the mid-day air bom- bardment in addition to the bodies of 25 'others executed by government firing squads Sunday night. The swiftly advancing insurgents attacked the exhausted troops of the government forces in Moncloa and the University city area in the north- west, and at Vallecas in the south- west. Nervous government militia and street guards in Madrid kept up a day-long rain of slugs on every build- ing where Fascist snipers were thought to be hiding. MADRID, Nov. 9.--R)-Fifty-three Americans tonight were sheltered in the United States embassy, the doors of which were opened again for American citizens as the Spanish civil conflict raged around the Capital. Thirty-one of these were from the United States, eight from Puerto Rico, and 14 from the Philippine Islands. One hundred and twelve American citizens, including Filipinos and Puer- to Ricans, still remained outside of the embassy but many of these were expected to seek its shelter shortly. LONDON, Nov. 9-(')-French Premier Leon Blum's expressed wish to aid the Spanish government will have no effect on Britain's neutrality stand, informed persons declared to- night. In some quarters the belief was ex- pressed Blum's declaration repre- sented "mere internal politics."

Hutchins To Head American Jew Will Not Become Crisis Scapegoat, Blumer Says By ROBERT PERLMAN There is little likelihood that the American Jew will become a national scapegoat if a crisis should arise, Prof. Herbert Blumer of the so- ciology department of the University of Chicago said in an interview yes- terday. Professor Blumer, who isy teaching here on semester leave, ex- panded.on his address given Sunday evening before 50 Hillel Independents at the Hillel Foundation. Professor Blumer based his con- clusion on the belief that anti-Se- mitism is not deeply enough rooted in American culture to become a for- midable force. Pointing to the grow- ing concern of many American Jews over their future fate in view of the German situation, he asserted that there are everywhere echoes among Jews of their apprehension for the fu- ture. Some of them would welcome fascism as a means of protection, ;ome are indifferent to this angle and a third group is fearful of their place under a fascistic regime. majority, second, a sense of being threatened and third, an inner con- flict in a people as a result of which they have a feeling of self-accusation and guilt. When this situation arises the mass may create a scapegoat either out of a group directly attack- ing them or they may turn to a scapegoat symbol already existent in their culture. Racial prejudice, of which anti- Semitism is only one expression, was analyzed by Professor Blumer as "the attitude which develops when one ethnic group comes into competition with another ethnic group which it considers inferior." He cited the ex- ample of the Southern whites who think the Negro is "all right in his place" but who becomes an object of antagonism when he tries to rise above his "place." In outlining the history of Ameri- can scapegoats, Professor Blumer showed that the "foreigner" held the first place on the East coast, just as the Negro in the South and the ec- onomically competitive Japanese on i 1 .-.
