NEW YORK, Jan. 25— IU.RI — President Alfred r. Sloan, Jr., of General Motors tonight refused to accept the invitation of Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins to a conference with auto union strike leaders in Washington Wednesday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.— (UP)—A threat to new at-1 tempts by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins to end the automobile strike appeared tonight when it was learned that John L. Lewis, union leader, would participate in a proposed conference with j General Motors corporation officials only after they had) demonstrated “good faith.” J Resorting to authority granted by j congress when the labor department was created in 1913. Secretary of Labor Perkins invited heads of General Motors and the United Automobile Workers of America to meet in her office at 11 a.m. Wednesday. [ She specified in the conference call that participants were to attend "without condition or prejudice.”
Alfred P. Sloan. Jr., president of the automobile concern, issued a statement in New York saying thc summons to the meeting would be 1 carefully considered. William S Epidemic was feared.

Illness, suffering and death rode the crest of the worst floods in the nation's history Monday night, fore- j ing cities and towns on an 1,800 | mile front into a state of siege.
Martial law or its equivalent existed throughout the ravaged Ohio valley from Cincinnati to Cairo, 111.
Louisville, Ky., ordered under rule of the military by Gov. A.B. Chandler, was one of the last to join the steadily growing list.
The city, without electricity, water, and adequate medical supplies, was in a desperate situation. Two hundred thousands were homeless.

Paying homage to a writer who was so individual that his works did not fit in with his day and therefore never were acclaimed during his lifetime, Dr. Frank C. Baxter has chosen selections from the works of Walt Whitman for his assembly reading tomorrow. This will make the third of a series of selections the English professor is offering every Wednesday morning during assembly period in Bovard audi-!♦ torium.
"Walt Whitman is a strange isolated figure against the sky' as we look backward over the long pageant of 19th century letters. He stood defiantly alone, scorned and vilified when not merely ignored, while a host of lesser men of the good traditional, respectable, decorative sort chanted their way into contemporary fame,” Dr. Baxter sftys of the early American poet.
Born in 1819 In 1819 Whitman was born on Long Island. Before he was 12 years old he had become a printer's "devil" on the Long Island Patriot, and then went to the Star. For nearly three decades he continued in the newspaper field changing employers often. When he was not writing verses or stories for the papers he would set type or teach While still a boy, Whitman often perplexed his instructors because he seemed to be off ln a world of his own. At first he was in the land of the Arabian Knights or dreaming of Sir Walter 8cott. As he grew more mature, the Bible, Shakespeare, Dante, and the Greek and Hindu poets took the leading roles in his dreams.
Was Newspaper Writer He became well established in the newspaper and magazine field, turning out hundreds of short stories. With his facile style he was able to imitate the writings of Hawthorne, Poe, Bryant, Longfellow, or Thoreau, depending on the state of mind he was in. The Civil war left a distinct impression on his later works which depicted the pain and misery he saw in the hospitals.
