many drivers will labor at the
wheels of their cars. On Labor Day
the rural roads become unusually
congested and everyone is in a hur-

Council suggests that you plan your
trip carefully. See that your car is
in good mechanical condition before
you start. Plan an early start so
that you won't have to indulge in

Onslaught on

BERIsIN, Nov 3o.--The Na2i die
tatorship pressed its. offensive against
the German working class today with
a new plan for recruiting employers
into the Labor Front, thus complet-
ing labor domination by the German
industrialists. The employers are en-
listing with great zeal, while even
those workers who were previously
deceived by the Nazi denlagogy are
raising furious protests. Communist
leaflets exposing the Nazi swnidle are
being distributed Illegally in the shops
and are being avidly read by the
workers.
DR.. Gustav Krupp Won Bohlen ind
Halbach, president Of the Reich Is
tate of German Industries, today
urged his fellow 1ndustrialists to join
the Labor Front immediately. The
Labor Front has already relieved the
employers Of the pressure Of the la
Dor unions, while their own organi-
cations remain Intact, thus giving
them a free hand for wage rcduc-
lions, speed-up and the frightening
of the working day.
Increasing numbers Of workers are
resigning from the labor unions,
which were BETRAYED into the hands
Of the Nazis by the Social Democra-
tic leaders, who turned over even the
funds of the unions which had been
sent out of the country when the
bourgeoisie brought Hitler into power.
These workers are now threatened by

British to Build

LONDON. Nov. 30.-The British
Government further outlined its war
plans yesterday with the announce
ment that it would push construction
on war planes and cruisers to bring
its strength in these forces up to q
point second to none
The announcement was hailed by
the reactionaries In both houses of

House of Commons by a vote Of 1879
to 80 endorsed the proposals of the
Air Ministry for q huge air armada

envisaged in an earlier statement by
the British Admiralty calling for the
immediate construction of new
cruisers. The British plans call for
early construction of at least 800 new
war planes, new cruisers and the
replacement Of old warships.
The Duke of Sutherland proposed
in the House Of Lords that every
large town be required to contribute
directly to the War preparations by
building an air force OF its own.
