A young man of wealth and one who bad previously gained a degree of notoriety as a reckless motorist through a diversity of escapades:, he became a conspicuous figure in the nation, ending with his evasion of military service. He was arrested but escaped to Germany, where he has since lived. Now he has returned. a middle aged man with a wife and chtldren. He has found that the Germany of.today is not a pleasant place, that life under the Fuehrer is hard, that a great deal of money Is required to live in any measure oCcomfort. So he has decided that he.loved his homeland- - after all. and That children to be real Americans. There are two schools of thought with respect to the future of Bergdoll. Army officials say that a SP mence of iinprisonment hangs over him and that it must be sertied. This,- theltiroper and lust solu tion of this problem of a man without a country. He failed his country iti a time of crisis, a tkrie when young men generally were going forth at their country's call to whatever fate might await therti. He is now returning in a spirit of contrition or remorse or because of the kindling of the spark of patridtism. "Breaths there a tnan with soul dead.

Mr. Green stoutly denied this and demanded proof and also went before the Senate committee on labor and publicly declared that neither he nor the AFL favored the amendments which Senator Burke of Nebraska has been favoring. Mr. Green also discloaed that the CIO was approaching various-AF- L locals with propaganda designed to make the latter believe that the AFL chiefs were deserting cn!INtive bargaining and the main advantages gained tinder the Warner law. ..tis a matter of fact. the AFL Chief and his associates are vehement in their declaration that what they have in mind will enhance the value of collective bargaining and safeguard craft workof pay ers as against off of standards in industrial unions. The conflictof opinion as between industrial and craft unions appears no- nearer settlement than it has ever been. 'Mr. Green seems to think that the mere fact that this difference of opinion exists today is sufficient reton for amending the act so as to take away from the Labor Board the titscretionary power under wihch it has assumed to decide as between craft and industrial units in collective bargaining.
