 placed the total at more than 150,- 900. Unofficial surveys indicated that the total, incuding those dis missed, was about the same, al- though the number varied daily as @ result of one-day protests.
 Meanwhile, President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, which dominates the building trades affected in the pro- test, met with a special committee of AFL leaders to plan action for persuading congress to restore the prevailing wage, under which skilled WPA workers were paid wages com- parable ot those received in private industry. Congress substituted a se- curity wage under which skilled laborers must work 130 hours a month for the same pay they form erly received for as little as 55 hours. Heads of the AFL's 103 unions yes- terday adopted a resolution author izing officers to call on congress and President Roosevelt to restore the prevailing wage.
 Green, who pledged the AFL to a flight to the finish" appointed a special committee to carry out the meetings instructions, including himself, Harry Bates of the brick layers, Daniel w. Tracy of the elec- trical workers, and George Q. Lynch of the patternmakers.
 He meets that committee at 10 g.. m. The group plans to meet with the vice-president, the speaker of the house, and President Roosevelt as early as conferences can be ar- ranged.
 Chicago, July 13-(UP)-Seven- teen union leaders headed by David Lasser, president of the Workers AL liance of America, demanded today that the WPA withdraw its dismiss sals of striking WPA workers.
 The demand was contained in a brief which Lasser said would be handed today to Col. F. O. Harring- ton. WPA Commissioner. Harrington is meeting here with 48 state admin istrators to chart the course of WPA
 The brief urged that Harrington and his conferees recommend to congress: restoration of the prevail ing wage rate, no cuts in monthly pay: wages to be capitalized by rais- ing the wages that are too low; no forced layoffs; restoration of all art projects.
 "In addition" the brief said, i've believe your administration should withdraw it's threats of dismissal or prosecution against the striking workers. Certainly 1t IS not in ac- cordance with our institutions to hold these threats over free Amer jeans. It is opposed to the spirit Of the Wagner Labor Relations Act. 650,000 Drop Aug. 3l Harrington announced yesterday that under the new relief law. 650,- 900 persons who have been on the WPA rolls ls months or longer would be dropped Aug. 3i. Other changes, he said, would inc ciude wage reductions for more than 1000 900 workers in northern states and the dlecharge Of i2O0O admin istratiye empl0yes so as to cut ex- penses 30 per cent.
 Lasser said current strikes would look "like e tea party" compared to what would happen Aug. 3t if the lay-offs went into effect. This brief lo Harrington was signed by ie Of. ficIals Of Apf., cio and independent unions.

 Inciting Riot
 Before that speech" Chandler said, "the situation in Harlan was quiet. I'm going to ask the Harlan grand jury to indict Turnblazer for melting to riot. Titler should be kept in Jail.
 "Their methods are typical of violence advocated by John L. Lewis (national head of the CIO)." He said he would permit peace full picketing".
 Some of the miners arrested were crowded into the Harlan jail and others were placed in the court house. Fifty guardsmen patroled the courthouse square. They con- fiscated any camera they saw.
 Jack o. Petrey, photographer for the Knoxville, Tenn, s-Sentinel said four guardsmen manhandled him and destroyed his camera when he attempted to take picture. Will be Charged
 James s. Golden, counsel for the UMWA District 19, protested against the National Guards holding min- CTS without making charges. Major Fred Staples, commanding the guard forces in the county, said those un- der arrest would be charged with "aiding and abetting riot". violence at the Mahan- Ellison mine, one of 20 companies which have refused to sign closed shop contract, was reported to have start cd when a non-union miner ate tempted to run an electric coal car through picket line. One of 30 guardsmen at the scene was report ed to have fired when a picket at- tempted to dislodge the trolley of the car. The picket reportedly re- turned the fire and the guardsmen charged. Several shots were ex- changed and rifles were swung as clubs. The guardsmen soon gained the upper hand. Before they did seven were wounded.
 Those Wounded
 They were Dock Caldwell, 31, union miner, who died at a Harlan hospital; Capt. John L. Hansbery of the National Guard, shot in the chest; Noble Bowman, 20, Chevro- let, Ky, miner, shot in the stomach, Daniel Noe, 37, Yancey, Ky, miner shot, in the hip; Private w.. T. Mason of the National Guard, slugged; Frank Lawes, 39, miner, clubbed on the head; and John Kennedy, 30, miner, shot in the knee.
 The guardsmen then herded their prisoners into ranks. Arriving in Harlan, the soldiers opened fire again, firing about 40 shots. when their prisoners broke ranks and union sympathizers attempted to interfere. Hubert Green, a miner, was shot in the head and his mother, Mrs. Kizzie Williams, was shot in the leg when she ran to his aid.

NCOIlUllueQ EdBC 1I much harder job-especially in Ger many where mass production has been applied to military craft-to train pilot than it is to buold an airplane."
 Both airplanes and tanks, he said, will have to be subordinated to the infantry because if used indepen- dently as the main offensive weapon neither could be effective over long period and no country could keep up steady stream of mechan- ized equipment for the battlefield.
 Germans May Be Fooled
 And the future wars, while faster and more streamlined, never will be the "Blitzkrieg" or lightning war which the Germans appear to be counting on at present, Eliot con- tinued. Airplanes and tanks will keep the war fronts fluid and prevent warfare from begging down into the war of attrition" such as the last European conflict became. Great masses of men-perfect air bomb targets-will give way to smaller and more mobile units, he believes.
 But in the end, he said, 1t will be the infantry that wins or loses the conflict.
 Actions will still be won," he said, "only when John J. Dough- boy is planted on the enemy posi- ton with rifle in hand"
 Ouick Defeat Absurd
 The belief of Nazi militarists that Germany could quickly overrunr such smaller countries as Holland or Belgium with motorized equip ment and terminate hostilities a few days after they started is ab- surd, Eliot asserted.
 T have read" he added, That German army men say they could conquer Poland in 48 hours. They could do no such thing"
 He pointed out that the farther mechanized units were pushed with out infantry support, the longer and less easily defended the supply trains would have to be.
 "Such units can't carry more than Q two-day, or at the most, three day, supply of gasoline" he said, without begging down. And supply trains are vulnerable to attack avia- tion."
 Armored units require solid foot ing, Eliot said, and if pushed too far into Poland. with its bad roads, would be at the mercy of Polish cavalry and horse-drawn artillery.

 Each family has narrowly es- capped death and in the last case 1t was only the light slumber of a housewife which saved the lives of herself, her husband and daughter.

He has a charming daughter, Vera.
Vera took a notion that she'd like
to write for a New York news
syndicate. She pestered this syndl-
cate, which ultimately got out OF
patience. It was soon after the
World war. The italian celebrity,
Gabrielle d'Annunzio, was raising

"We," said the syndicalists, "will put
an end to this persecution
So they advised Miss Bloom, GO
