T *11 v Etil GovernorMurphy's WiagnerAct' Will Go To Legislature Today ichigan's Strike Policy Was 'Neutral,' He Says At Case Club Dinner By TUURE TENANDER A "model labor relations act" for Michigan will be introduced in the State Legislature today, Gov. Frank Murphy said last night in his address at the annual Case Club dinner in the Law Club. Announcement of the initiation of the act, which the Governor said he "would be proud to introduce," came in the middle of his talk last night and was the first definite statement as to when the "Wagner Act" for Michigan would be presented to the legislators. A plea for fundamental principles of government that will withstand the onslaughts of temporary currents of change and yet permit progress and evolution was made by the gov- ernor in his talk. Stating that these strong govern- mental principles are especially necessary at the present time, Gov- ernor Murphy said, "It is a colossal weakness among those in public life that they yield and bend before the immediate problems, losing sight of the long-time end." "There is nothing inconsistent in progressive government with prac- tical government," the Governor said. "A government canabe socially minded and progressive and at the same time competent," he added." The constitution was not designed to meet the problems of any particular period but was intended to carry the nation through the ages."

Fishman was the last of a trio of Wolverine pitchers that fanned 12 opposing batters, walked 10 and blew a 7-0 lead. Burt Smith crowned the freakish mound performance by hit- ting Bill Mattison, Toledo catcher, on the head with a fast ball in the seventh inning. Michigan made four runs in the second inning without hitting a ball out of the infield. Steve Uricek and Mlierle Kremer walked and Danny Smick was safe on an error by "Howdy" Camp, Toledo pitcher, to fill the bases. Bob Campbell then hit a grounder to Marty Slovak at third who slipped on the wet grass and Uricek crossed the plate with the first run of the game. Kremer and Smick scored on Heyliger's and Gee's infield outs and Don Brewer was safe at first when Camp's throw hit him in the back as he was racing down the first base line, Campbell scoring on the play. Walt Peckin- paugh ended the inning by ground- ing out third to first.

Miss West, daughter of Police Sgt. e Clifford West, balked the attempted assault by slipping the chain-lock be- fore opening the door of the West t home, 906 Fifth St., when her suspi- cions were aroused by the growling of her pet dog. e Miss West was preparing for bed shortly before midnight when the doorbell rang. She thought it might have been her father, and went down- stairs to let him in. She slipped the chain after hearing the dog's growl- ing. As she opened the door, the assailant pushed hid leg through the opening in the door and grabbed her by the arm. She screamed and aroused her mother, who was asleep. , The screams startled the assailant so much he released his grip. n Her mother came downstairs and - called the police. Two radio equipped - police scout cars, the Washtenaw e sheriff's patrol car and five State Police cars quickly joined in a road blockade. House Passes Budget Raise Of 4_Million1 Congress Approves Award t Of Over 83 Millions r To Federal Agencies 1 T' A Grants Totalr Set At $44,166,270 WASHINGTON, April 28.-()--e The House climaxed a day of econ- omy debate today by approving an1 outright increase of $4,000,000 in the session's second deficiency appropria-f tion. Without a record vote, the cham-I ber then passed the measure carrying $83,146,943 for the Tennessee Valley1 Authority and a number of otherc Federal agencies.t Despite Republican appeals for "real economy," the House added $4,- 000,000 to the TVA's appropriationt for the fiscal year beginning July 1. This action came after authorization ' for the TVA to make electrical equip- ment contracts for a similar amount, had been stricken out on a point of order raised by Minority Leader Snell; (Rep., NY.). Gives TVA $44,166270 The change would give the TVA a total of $44,166,270, approximately $4,524,000 less than it had this year. As finally approved, the measure carried about $14,060,000 less than the total recommended by the budget bureau Although the only reduction effect- ed on the House floor was the elimin- ation of $60,000 for salaries of as- sistant attorneys in the Justice De- partment, the House beat down sev- eral attempts to increase the bill. Some of the hottest debate on the measure centered on the TVA ap- propriations. Discounts Impounding Earlier in the day, Representativej Taber of New York, a Republican leader, told the House that a Demo-; cratic proposal to impound 15 per cent of all of next year's governmen- tal appropriations subject to Presi- dent Roosevelt's orders "will not re- sult in any economy whatsoever." Legislation to authorize the im- pounding was introduced late yes- terday by Representative Cannon (Dem , Mo.) and Speaker Bankhead said it had President Roosevelt's ap- proval. It would permit the Presi- dent to restore all or part of the im- pounded funds as he saw fit. Some Democratic leaders contend- ed that the President, who recently announced an economy campaign, should be given broad discretion in making cuts.

Many hours still remained before the muddy waters would seep to a safe margin below the flood's crest of 45.9 feet reached early today. The flood stage is 36 feet Wheeling undertook its mop-up campaign calmly, thankful that the damage can be reckoned in thpus- ands instead of millions of dollars as was the case in the record flood of 1936 which reached a crest of 55.5 feet. Normalcy returned to the historical "flood city" of Johnstown, Pa., which bore the brust of the first attack of the tributaries to the north Monday.

However, he ndicated that the discussion will not e limited to these issues as reported n yesterday's Daily. "They are mere- ly suggestions of possible lines of de- bate," he said.
