Both Roosevelt and Ford Unmoved by Wagner Decision 'Of No Concern Will Go Forward To Us,' Says Ford With Court Plan
Says He Will Show Other Manufacturers 'Real Competition'
Dearborn, Mich, April 13—(UP) Henry Ford, emphatically declaring the decision by the supreme court on
the Wagner Labor Relations act "is no concern to us," announced the start of an expansion program that will show other manufacturers "what real competition is."
"I have spent 33 years in building up my business," he said. "Our men have been free to join anything they liked. We have no restrictions. I only say I cannot see what our men are doing, but by which they lose their freedom."
"The Ford Motor company," he added, "has always been fair and the Wagner Labor Relations act can have no effect upon us."

We've decided that it is high time for the University officials to give in to the demands by some of the students for tau dancing. The reason will come with me some Wednesday night, I will show them for the

animal sum of n cuents something key did not know existed. The type of dancing performed there leaves little to the imagination and we are of the opinion that they can find the exhibition highly entertaining and wish they were back in school, or conclude that the student of the modern school is starved for the art of terrestrialism.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1937
To return to a more sedate style of dancing where everybody does not truck two shades better than the dancers at the Cotton Club Revue, would require a tea dance every day. Perhaps in school boys in power could bring themselves to look more favorably on the proposal.
This is not, however, a condemnation of the type of dancing done by the average undergraduate. In fact, if we aren't wearing whiskers by that time, it would be fun to come back and see them Indian dancers in the dance class thing. The real reason for this paragraph was the discovery that when no one is around some of the boy and girl chums舞 in the Blue Mill and other places to tune of the radio or records anyway.
Peace strikes at the University are more and more providing the students with a type of entertainment they cannot get by sitting at home or viewing a movie. A couple of years ago all that such a demonstration produced was a slightly awed feeling from students for an expound against war. However, that was all changed last year,
The Veterans of Future War marched on the strike for fear that the strike might be successful, and that their future bonuses would be cut off. That was topped off a few weeks ago by a bombing automobile who had signs and a junior swing band to disrupt the speakers.
Climaxing the events was the tossing of a gas bomb everyone knew was flung by one of the members on the outskirts of the throne. That completed the day's activities. It had its aftermath in the trial and lack of conviction of the guilty party. Most everyone knew the boy who had thrown the thing and many even knew how he had obtained it. The judge was done because the newly formed University court was functioning like that of the present day supreme court. The lawyers had one eye on the law books and the other on the barometer of public opinion.
This year something will happen.
The sponsors of the movement have
announced that there is to be a brisk
exercise in the park to see the fun. Anything can happen. We might suggest that the

Roosevelt Keeps O w n
Counsel a t Conference
With Press
Washington, April 13. — (UP)—President Roosevelt today ordered continuation of his drive for enactment of his supreme court reorganization program, and his leaders renewed the fight with vigor despite opposition claims that yesterday's Wagner act decision had weakened administration ranks.
Visitors who have talked with Mr. Roosevelt since the supreme court upheld the five test labor cases said he was not convinced that the court offered any assurance of constitutionality for other social and economic legislation, such as a child-labor law, a minimum wage, or the work week
The President himself withheld comment at his semi-weekly press conference. He said he had given the opinions only a cursory reading.

Five Nations' Ships Ride Off Spain's Coast
London, April 13—(UP)—Warships of five nations ride the chilly waters of the Bay of Biscay tonight brought closer the menace of an influenza outbreak. The night might explode off international hatties caused by the Spanish civil war.
Mightiest of all was the British battle cruise Hood. It poked its 15-inch guns toward the Loyalist seal of Biloan where General Franco's naval blockade threatened thousands of Basques with starvation.
French tonight adopted Great Britain's conciliatory attitude toward the Rebel blockade and warned all French shipping to stay away from Bilboa, Santander and other Biscay ports.
Paris sent a crisp warning to France, however, that any interference with French ships outside Spain would be "fearful retaliation."
The Rebel cruiser Almirante Cerveran repeated monotonously over its radio, "Any Spanish or foreign warships entering Spanish waters along the Biscay coast will be taker prisoner or sunk."
Germany sent two cruisers. Norway sent a mine-layer. France patrolled the three-mile limit with fleet destroyers and the Spanish rebels. Italy blocked Bibio Harbor with a battleship, three cruisers, and numerous crawlers.
