Strike Ended, Both Sides Yielding

making concessions,
the General Motors strike came
to an end in what Governor Murphy
of Michigan called "an enduring
peace." Operations
of the great corpo-
ration had been par-
alyzed for 43 days,
and the losses to it
in business and to
workers in wages
have been immense.
Partly through the
skillful efforts of
James F. Dewey,
veteran federal la-
. •. bor conciliator, John
John 1>. Lewis L Lewis, head of
the C. I. O., and other union leaders,
and the officials of General Motors
were persuaded to modify the defi-
ant stands they had maintained
through eight days of negotiations
in Detroit, and the governor was
enabled to announce the settlement.
Under the terms of the agree-
ment:
1—The corporation recognized the
union as the collective bargaining
-agency for those employees belong-
ing to the union.
2—^The corporation and the union
agreed to commence collective
bargaining negotiations on Febru-
ary 16.
3—The union agreed to end the
strike and evacuate all plants occu-
pied by strikers.
4—The corporation promised to
resume operations in all strike-
bound or idle plants "as rapidly as
possible."
5—AH employees are to return to
work without discrimination against
strikers. -w
6—The union agreed that pending
negotiations there will be no other
, strikes or interference with produc-
tion.
7—During existence of the collec-
tive bargaining agreement contem-
plated, all opportunities to negotiate
shall be exhausted before any other
strike or production interference is
attempted by the union.
8—After evacuation of plants the
corporation agreed to dismiss the
injunction proceedings started by
the corporation against the union or
any members in Flint, Mich.
' Secretary of Labor Perkins,
whose oim £f!brts to end the strike
were futile, was highly gratified by
the settlement. She gave out a
statement praising the leaders on
both sides for their give and take
spirit and complimenting Governor
Murphy on his success. Probably
considerable credit should be given
President Roosevelt, who kept con-
stantly in close touch with the situa-
tion and talked with the conferees
by telephone" from the White House.

Views on President's Plan
Enlarge Supreme' Court
Senator Byrnes—I'm for it.
Senator Nye—I think the Pres-
ident has hit upon a most ingen-
ious method of speeding up the
Work of our tribunals, - *
1 Senator Vandenbepg—I am op-
posed to tampering with the Su-
preme court,
Senator McAdoo—The Presi-
dent's message receives my un-
reserved commendation.
Senator Capper—1 am certain-
ly opposed to increasing the num-
ber of Supreme court judges for
the purpose of allowing the ex^
ecutive during any one adminis-
tration to control the decisions of
the Supreme court.
Senator Hale—Should his rec-
ommendations be followed, I can
see no-, hope of an independent
Supreme court.
Senator Gerry—I'm definitely
opposed to the President's pro-
posal in regard to the Supreme
court.
Senator Thomas—I think it is
a timely and happy solution of a
perplexing problem.
Representative Snell—This is
pretty near the beginning of the
end of everything.
Representative Fish—The mes-
sage is political hypocrisy.
Speaker Bankhead—The plan
for adding additional judges is a
sound policy.
Senator King—I am unalterab-
ly opposed to it.
D RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S pro-
* posals for legislation thejt would
permit him^ to^ack the Supreme
court Jhav? met" with such wide-
spread and determined opposition,
even" from many members of his
own party, that it was suggested to
him that he accept certain modifica-
tions. These include appointment of
Supreme court justices onljr when
those over seventy-five do not re-
tire, and limitation of the "number
a President couid thus appoint dur-
ing his term to two. His plan as
submitted to congress would enable
him td name six new members of
the court if the present six justices
who are over seventy do not re-
tire voluntarily.
Mr. Roosevelt announced to the
correspondents that he was quite
awaro- of the controversy he was
confronting but would not tack down
on his demand for the legislation as
outlined in his message. , ,?•
It is probable that the President
can get his measure through the
house without great trouble, but a
hot fight against it is certain in the
senate. So far the Republicans -in
congress haven't had much to say
on the matter, for the Democratic
Opponents of the scheme are voci-
ferous enough to suit the G. O. P.
It is said there is a good chance
that the senate judiciary committee,
headed by Ashurst of Arizona, will
report unfavorably on the measure
in so far as the proposal for in-
creasing the membership of the Su-
preme court is concerned. The other
parte of the" President's plan, de-
signed to expedite the work of fed-
eral courts, do^ not-meet with much
opposition.
Probably the scheme will be sep-
arated into several bills; and indeed
that already has been started, for
Representative Summers of Texas,
chairman of the house judiciary
committee, introduced a bill provid-
ing for voluntary retirement for Su-
preme court justices with full pay
at the age of seventy. This was
passed quickly by a vote of 315 to 75.
IONS of the great plains
drouth committee were laiglltf-
by President Roose-
accompanied
„ in which the
development of
the vast area
- the
whole matter, said Mr. Roose-
velt, dovetails into the proposed six
year public works program.
The great plains committee sug-
gested for the federal government:
1. A ten year program of addi-
tional investigations and surveys. '
2. Continued acquisition of land
in range areas with rehabilitation
as the objective.
3. Measures to increase size of
farms too small for efficient opera-
tion.
"f. Development of water re-
sources.
5. Resettlement within and with-
out the region.
6. Compensation to local govern-
ments where federal land acquisi-
tion results in shrinkage of the local
tax basis.
7. Control and eradication of in-
sect pests.
8. Exploration of possibilities for
developing other resources, such as
vast lignite deposits to provide al-
ternative occupation for some of the
4>"people in,the prea.
Similar action was suggested for
states with the addition of sugges-
tions fof legislation to permit forma-
tion of county soil conservation dis-
tricts, -encouragement of co-opera-
tive grazing associations, revision
of the taxing system to take account
of land income and assistance to
farmers in meeting water problems.
For local co-operation the com-
mittee suggested crop rotation, cre-
ation of feed and seed reserves
against dry years, conservation of
moisture, supplemental irrigation,
fuller utilization of, springs and
wells, planting of trees and shrubs
as windbreaks and flexible cropping
plans to permit adaptation of each
season's crop to the amount of mois-
ture in the land.
D ARCELONA, capital of the au-
^ tonomous Spanish state of Cata-
lonia, was bombarded by a Fascist
warship, and the Catalan council of
state immediately
decreed a new mo-
bilization to meet
the threat of an in-
surgent attack. It
also ordered the
strengthening of for-
tifications and set
up a superior de-
fense council.
Following the cap-
ture of the. .impor-
tant Mediterranean
Gen. Franco, coast city of Malaga
by General Franco's Fascist troops,
a general clean up of loyalists there
was started. Gen. Gonzalo Quiepo,
de Llano, rebel commander in
southern Spain, announced over the
radio that more than 150 leaders apd
military officers of the government
had been arrested and executed
after trial. He said an attack would,
soon be made on Valencia, the loy-
alist temporary capital on the east
coast.' ' ■
France was vexed by the reported
assistance given the Fascists by
Italians in the taking of Malaga, -
and renewed her threats to inter-
vene in behalf of the government
unless Italy and Germany ceased
their active suppdrt of Franco.
The long drawn out siege of Ma-
drid continued, but there was one
important development when the in^
sur gents, attacking with infantry
and tanks from the south, threatened
to cut the highway to Valencia, the

T) ESyLTS of the annual elec-
tion of radio favorites, with
two hundred and fifty-two ra-
dio-column editors casting the
votes, brought Joy to the hearts
of Hollywood studios, for film
favorites proved to be the out-
standing radio favorites too.
Paramount is-leading the Cheer-'
ing for their Jack Benny, for the
fourth consecutive year, won thi
vote for best comedian and best pro-
gram on the air. Bing Crosby was
elected best singer of popular songs.
Bob Burns ran third among comedi-
ans, and that was no small achieve-
ment. Benny and Fred Allen had
the first two places, and there were
no less than ten or twelve famous
stage comedians competing for
third. M-G-M's Nelson Eddy was
ranked first among classical sing-
ers, and Universal's Deanna Dur-
bin best of all the newcomers 'to
radio. Twentieth Century's , Tony
Martin made a good showing, get-
ting third place among singers of
popular songs. And RKO's Lily
Pons took second place among sing-
ers of classical music.
Interview etiquette is next in im-
portance to romance manners in
Hollywood. When-
ever asked their
opinion on the great-
est actor on the
screen, players are
supposed to mention
someone under con-
tract to their own
studio. Pat O'Brien
just won't play ac-
cording to that rule.
He thinks Spencer
Tracy is by all odds
the best actor on
the screen and in-
sists on saying so.
M-G-M, but it is not so pleasant for
Warner Brothers to whom Pat is
under contract.

When M-G-M cast Robert Taylor
in "Camille," it was with the hope
that the incomparable Garbo would
make him forget all others, but
when the last scene was shot, young
Taylor was still calling her "Miss
Garbo." Next be was cast opposite
Jean Harlow, and studio folks slyly
intimated that the huge boxes of
flowers she received on the set ev-
ery morning probably came from
him. M-G-M even sent Taylor to
Washington, D. C., to attend the
President's birthday ball with Jean.
And all to no avail. He still thinks
Barbara Stanwyck is the grandest
girl in the world.

New "York, and started production

be a drawing-room comedy, very
smart, swift, and swanky. It must
be that he heard Constance in that
broadcast of "Private Lives" that
convinced everyone she had a real
flair for high comedy.

A TAILORED suit season is pre-
dieted, with interesting news in
regard to blouse and accessories
which, it is said*, will be frilly and
flattering and utterly feminine no
matter how severely tailored the
suit. A further important message
is navy twills for the smartest suits;
also comes foreword that beige will
be a big color factor this spring.
Of course chic suits call for chic
hats and milliners were never more
up and .alert ift answering the call.
What with sailors, berets, bretons,
pillbox types, callotes (those wee
caps French milliners adore), hats
a la Rembrandt or Rubens, shapes
that turn definitely up at one
side, and a riot of turbans with
countless variations, it is going "to
be a most exciting millinery sea-
son. You can see that from the
very start.
Then too, the startling innovations
that are taking place in the matter
of hairdress is having a tremen-
dous influence not only on the hats
themselves but equally so on the
way we "wear them.
As to trimming, this is to be a
feminine season, flowers, ribbons,
bright colors," feathers, lace and a'
that, with veils of devastating co-
quetry to give glamor to the occa-
sion. There will be veils of every
description from long scarf effects
that drape "dramatically about the
shoulders as you see at the top to
the right in the picture, to perky
little crisp affairs as centers the
group here shown.
The models pictured indicate the
far-flung scope of ideas that are
influencing the new millinery pro-
gram. The hat on the seated figure
conveys the message that shallow
sailors will be worn, welcome news
to many women who always dote on
this type of "fiat. This clever sailor
tops an exceedingly smart and prac-
tical ensemble of beige wool. It is
taffeta in a soft brown with coral-
rust grosgrain bands and bow.
These rust and brown and coppery
shades together with beige have
been voted as high-style coloring.
The young girl standing wears a
five-piece ensemble of herringbone
tweed. It is an ideal outfit for
cruise and southern wear and to
bring back north for spring. The
general tone of the woolen is gray-
ish pale blue (all blues are espe-
cially smart just now) with multi-
color flecks woven through it. Note
that the cone-crowned breton is
worn back on the head to show the
youthful brush-off-forehead hair-
dress.
The little pillbox hat as shown
above to the right is a winning num-
ber and in shiny black straw is
proving a midseason favorite. The
chiffon scarf-veil draped about it
which is effective for afternoon is
detachable at the back leaving a
trimly tailored hat for general
wear. Another popular trim is a
military silk tassel falling dpwn
over one side.
For the utterly feminine model
centered in the group three Amer-
ican beauty silk roses are posed
atop a tiny off-face toque that is
based on the cap fashion which is
just now a reigning favorite in
Paris. This one is of navy blue
felt and is worn far back on the
head in latest approved manner.
The stiff flaring wide mesh navy
veil is indicative of the types that
will be worn this spring.
Milliners are giving versatile in-
terpretations of the breton. Cen-
tered below is a new adaptation
tuned to the' new high headdress.
It is of black milan trimmed with
bluish violet belting ribbon. The
suede gloves match the ribbons on
the hat—which is well worth re-
membering for colorful gloves are
still tres chic.

STRIPES IN EVERY
PHASE OF FASHION
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Fashion places definite emphasis
on stripes for spring and summer.
Stripes are as important for the
evening mode as for sports and day-,
time wear. , .
Dine and dance frocks made of
handsome striped crepe or taffeta
or colorful metal weave are among
the outstanding successes on the
current style mode.
For afternoon and informal din-
ner events the jacket blouse fitted
to perfection or the simple girlish
jover blouse of gaily colorful stripe
registers anjong the smartest items
of the season. • '
Bold, bizarre stripes in Roman
and candy-stripe variations, also
novelty stripes that have flowers
and fruits and other design worked
into the stripe are going big in the
southern resorts. They are partic-
ularly good in linens and cottons,
and are made up ipto evening
gowns, full length beach" coats,
blouses, sports dresses and acces-
sories of every description.
Fur-Trimmed Suits With *

Suits with fur-trimmed, full-length
coats to match are jtist as popular
as they have ever been. A grand,
suit, with, a jacket that is buttoned
high in the neck, is being shown in*
blue, brown and beige herringbone
tweed. The matching topcoat has
a huge, notched beaver collar. An-
other three-piece model^ In TTVtry
vivid blue nubby woolen, has the
topcoat enhanced by a full-length
