Poetry of Lindsay Selected for Talk
Dr. Baxter To Read Works Of Modern Author in Bovard Tomorrow
The works of Nicholas Vachcl Lindsay, termed by contemporary critics as "the chief poetic interpreter since Walt Whitman,” have been selected by Dr. Frank Baxter as the topic for discussion at the sixth of his series of readings to be presented tomorrow morning in Bovard auditorium at assembly hour.
A large audience is expected at the reading. Judging from the number which turned out at the last two programs. Over 350 students heard Dr. Baxter’s interpretations of Edward Arlington Robinson and Rudyard Kipling.
Lindsay, who died six years ago, was one of the few great American writers in the early years of the century. He has since been called the "driver of all the captains of the New Poetry movement—from first to last.”
Born in 1879, Lindsay first gained prominence with the publishing of “General William Booth Enters into Heaven” in 1913. “Chinese Nightingale.” one of his best known poems, is considered one of the most beautiful of present-day pieces. Categorically he is placed with Whitman and Ralph Waldo Emerson. who preceded him.
One of his most popular works is "Thc Congo,” which he was called upon to recite many times during his life. Lindsay chose for one of his themes California, publishing a volume called "The Oolden Whales of California and Other Rhymes of the American Language.”
Storms Over Pacific Force Postponement; Plane Ready for Flight
OAKLAND. March 15—(UP) —New difficulties arose tonight to plague Amelia Earhart and make it probable she may have to start her round- j the-world flight from Los Angeles.
The possible shift of the base of j | operations centered around the con-I dition of the runway at Oakland j airport, the only runway in thc San; Francisco bay area considered long enough to permit her to get her I heavily-loaded Lockheed Electra plane into thc air.
Workmen have been pouring and pounding dirt on the runway here for four days, but an approaching storm, carrying rain, made it probable their work will go for naught. | Burbank Field
Tiie alternative was a return to I Burbank field. Los Angeles, and an I attempt to start for Honolulu from there, as officials of San Francisco airport, which has paved a 3.000-loot runway, expressed their belief it was too short to assure a full margin of safety.
ft was significant that Paul Mantz. Mi® Earhart's technical adviser, started for Los Angeles this afternoon by motor. However, he said, he would come back by plane at a minutes notice.
Everything was ready for the flight except the weather. A slowly moving storm, still far out on the Pacific, forced her to postpone a takeoff attempt for the second time today and to move the tentative departure time to Tuesday night.
Fully Equipped
With her "flying laboratory ’ monoplane fully equipped and ready for the take-off. Miss Earhart anxiously studied weather charts in the hope she would be able to start the trip tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday.
A second postponement of the take-off was announced today by the woman flyer's husband-ma'na-ger, George Putnam.
"A persistent low pressure area about 500 miles west of San Fran-cisco is moving slowly," he said.

Remington Rand To Fight NLRB Order to Reinstate Striking Workers
WASHINGTON, March 15.— (UP)—The U.S. supreme court today killed eight new attacks on the Wagner labor law but recessed for a fortnight without deciding the validity of the embattled act—a pillar of the New Deal’s program to aid the nation’s workers.
Administration authorities saw little significance ln the court's action and promptly cautioned against interpreting It as Indication that the tribunal had decided to uphold the labor law or hat it already had decided the act was valid and wanted to hear no further argument.
It was pointed out that the eight cases in which the court refused to act today involved writs of Injunction denied by lower courts to manufacturers seeking to prevent the National Labor Relations board from holding hearings on complaints from employees that the Wagner act was being violated. The suits did not present a clear out challenge to the act’s validity.
Meantime, officials of Remington Rand, Inc., office equipment manufacturers, announced in New York today that they would fight ln the courts a decision by the National Labor Relations board ordering the corporation to reinstate 4000 of Its striking employees and desist from further alleged interference with union activiUes of the employees.
The board found that refusal of the corporation to recognize and bargain collectively with workers of an American Federation of Labor affiliate union had precipitated » strike last May of 6,000 employees of company plants in Middletown, Conn., Illon, Syracuse, Elmira, and Tonawanda, N.Y.
