Civil Liberties Probe
On West Coast Has
It's Lighter Moments
Radio Broadcast Used
To Fight Organization
Of Dairy Lunch Chain
Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 20.-The
serious business of investigating
West Coast labor conditions as pur-
sued by the Senate Civil Liberties
Committee has its lighter moments.
The committee concludes its Sec
ond week of sessions here today.
Most recent phase has been a study
Of restaurant conditions and of as
serted efforts to form an indepen-
dent union among employees Of
dairy lunch chain-interrupted by
a strike of American Federation of
Labor members at one lunchroom.
Senator Ebert D. Thomas of
Utah read into the record the script
OF a radio broadcast given by "The
Neutral Thousands" during the
dairy Mnchroom strike, in which
Mrs. Bessie A. Ochs, president of
the organiza ton, interviewed a "Mr.
X,' represented as an employe of
the chain who was happy in his
work"
Asked who took the part of Mr..
x" Mrs. Ochs said she could not
remember.
Il was Mr.. X" volunteered
Clay c. Rittenhouse. Earlier Mr..
Rittenhouse, as a former employe
OF The Neutral Thousands, a wom-
ems group, testified he had en-
gagged in organizing independent
unions at the request of employers.
Mr.. Rittenhouse said he received
from Mrs. Ochs list of employees
or former employees of the dairy
lunch chain headed by G. A. Bar
raclough. Mr.. Barraclough admit
ted he had provided Mrs. Ochs with
the list.
Mr.. Rittenhouse testified Mrs.
Ochs instructed him to get in touch
with the persons on the list and
start forming an independent union.
He said a letter, ostesibly from an
'employe of the dairy lunch chain
asking help in forming an inde-
pendent union, actually was dictated
by himself.
Earlier the committee inquired
into a strike at the Beverly Hills
Brown Derby restaurant during
which, 1t was testified, $50 was
paid to uniformed members of the
Beverly Hills Police Department,
who had acted as strike guards out
side regular working hours.

10000 Fighting Men
And 200 WarpIanes
Held Finns' Need
Britons See Chance for
Successful Defense If
Aid Comes Promptly
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-Given 10000
more fighting men. 200 airplanes
and a generous supply of military
equipment before May. Finland can
save herself from Soviet Russia,
British military authorities con-
cluded today.
In line with a growing belief that
Finland is the pivot of the entire
struggle against what Britons call
aggression in Europe" Great
Britain and France have been max
ing substantial contributions to
Finland, including planes and mill
tary supplies, but the amounts have
been kept secret.
The military experts prediction
was founded on close study of the
campaign in Northern Finland,
where they said one of, historys
most notable displays of tactical
skill had thrown back the Russian
invaders.
Turning Point Seen in May.
1t was agreed generally that May
would bring the ultimate turning
point. 1t is then that the SHOWS
melt and the ground becomes firm
enough for best use of the Soviet
mechanical equipment.
Military observers in Finland have
said that major Russian smash at
the Karelian Isthmus defenses
might come in March or April. Bit
ter cold ordinarily continues through
March, however.
Experts here declare that with
adequate arms, ammunition, planes
and the designated fresh fighting
force, the Firms might hold out even
through a May crisis because the
rugged, lake-strewn terrain of
their countryside is a defensive
asset.
New Evidence of Aid.
New evidence of aid for Finland
came from Canada, where exporters
with Finnish connections were buy
ing up quantities Of Canadian oats
and oat products.
Observers said these exporters
had bought 100000 bushels of oats
recently in the coarse-grain pit; and
other grain authorities said Finnish
orders for more than 100000
pounds of Canadian rolled oats had
been filled from stocks in the United
States.
Reliable sources reported that the
rolled oats were being bought with
funds raised in the United States for
Finnish relief.

Educator Says
Tribute Paid War Leader
At Birthday Fete
In New York
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated FreSS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Dr. Robert
Calvin Grier. Southern educator,

College, Due West, S. c., addressed
distinguished Americans from the
North as we'll as the South at the
annual tribute to Gen. Lee. The
event at the Hotel Plaza was spon-
sored by Al Southern societies.
The South, DR.. Grier said, arose
to full stature among the family
of States, and did SO principally be-
cause the beloved Lee had more
than human ability to face life after
what was called the lost cause"
After the War Between the States,
he continued, Gen. Lee brought to
the "lost cause" a measure of forti-
tude, resolution. and cooperation
which perhaps more than any other
thing caused the South to rise from
the ashes of defeat and through
the years slowly and tediously to
become an area of our United Union
which industrially and socially is
able to stand alongside the other
sections of our country"
Cross Is Awarded.
The annual salute to Gen. Lee
has over a score of years come to
rank only below the annual Presi-
dents Birthday Ball as New York

the Honorary Cross of Military
Service to DR.. Thomas M. Terry of
New Orleans, captain of the Louisi-
ana Cavalry. The cross was pre-
sented by Mrs. David B. Sabine,

Ivan Chapter of the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy, and Mrs.
