Defense Commission Given
Steel Workers Complaint
By the Associated Press.

commission, said the corporation lis

Court ruling which in effect up
held 62l2 cent minimum wage
rate on Government steel contracts.
He also claimed Bethlehem is vio-

tions Board order directing the COM
pany to dissolve an Independent
union. The S. w. o. C. has sought
unsuccessfully to bargain collec-
lively for the $4,000 employees of its
steel plants.
"On behalf of the Bethlehem steel
workers and the S. w. o. c., I
bring this serious matter to the at
tention of the commission" Mr..

with it promptly and effectively can
only lead to a breakdown in our

80 Postal Employees
Will Train Monday
For Alien Registration
1000 Foreigners
Are Estimated to Be
In Washington
By JAMES FREE.

A special force OF 30 experienced
postal employees will begin prelimi-
nary training Monday for the task
of registering the more than 1000
aliens estimated to live in Wash
ington, Postmaster Vincent C..
Burke announced today.
The registration will be held be-
tween August q and December 27
in . lobby floor room of the main
Post ONCE. North Capitol and
Massachusetts avenue NV, and at
18 branch post ofiices in the WASH
ington area, Mr.. Burke said.
The estimate of the number Of
aliens in Washington was made by
the immigration and Naturalization
Service of the Department of JUS
tice and was based on 1880 census
figures. On this basis, immigration
service officials said, there would be
$4,000 aliens in Maryland, between
1000 and 5000 in Virginia and about
$500 900 in the United States.
The term alien" under the Alien
Registration Act of 1910, includes,
generally speaking, every foreign
born man, woman and child in the
United States and its possessions
who has not been naturalized.
Persons with first citizenship papers
must register.
Specimen Forms Due Tuesday.
Registration specimen forms will
be available In local post omces
Tuesday, Mr.. Burke declared. These
are not the final registration forms,
he stressed, although the questions
to be answered are identical. The
specimen forms are for the in
formation and convenience of
aliens, to enable them to gather
all necessary data for the oficial
forms that will be recorded by postal
employees.
Fingerprints and personal descrip-
tions of the aliens will supplement
the official questionnaires, and
these, too, will be recorded by the
postal workers.
Postmaster Burke emphasized that
the 30 regular postal employees as
signed to the registration will be
replaced temporarily by persons
chosen from the post ofhce civil serv.

Greek Warships
Flee Attack by
Italian Planes
Tension Mounting
As Rome Renews
Press Attacks
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATHENS. Aug. 16-A high au-
thority said here tonight the COM
manders of two Greek destroyers
bombed by war planes today had
reported by radio to the Navy Min
istry that the attacking planes
were italian.
The government was expected to
continue to preserve silence lest any
statement imperil Greek neutrality
at time when the situation be-
tween Greece and Italy is grow
Ing hourly more critical.
The two destroyers were sched-
uled to arrive at Piraeus, the port
of Athens, tonight.
At the time of the attack the de-
stroyers were steaming toward the
Island of Tinos, where the Greek
light cruiser Helle was torpedoed
and sunk yesterday by an unidenti-
fed submarine.
The two destroyers, according to
reports reaching Athens, escaped
damage by zigzagging at full speed.
They did not open fire on the
planes.
1t also was reported that a Greek
merchantship identified as the
Erin was bombed by unknown"
warplanes while lying in an uniden-
titled Greek harbor.
Tension Mounting,
The air attacks came amid mount
ing tension in the relations between
Greece and Italy, following bitter
Italian press campaign against the
little kingdom.
Diplomatic observers expressed be-
lief that the secret attacks left
Greece virtually with an undeclared
war on her hands.
Omcials, however, declared the
government had not yet taken any
defensive military measures because
it felt that the power which was
secretly attacking Greek ships was
seeking just such "provocation."
The destroyers we're en- route to
Tinos Island to escort merchant
ships returning thousands of pill
grims to their mainland homes.
Many of these pilgrims, who had
gone to the island to observe the
Feast of Our Lady yesterday and to
bathe in the health-giving waters of
a famous Greek shrine, we're on the
quay when the Helle was torpedoed
One was killed and several injured.
Government Cautious.
The reported attack on the de-
stroyers strengthened belief in diplo-
matte quarters that the neutral po-
sition of the Greek government
would be more difficult than ever to
maintain and that definite action
was under way to force the Greeks
to abandon neutrality.
If the attacks continue, it was
pointed out, and If the attacking
party can officially be identified,
Greece would be forced to declare
war or come to terms with the at
tacker.
The government, alarmed by this
situation and the growing strain on
its relations with Italy, cautiously
refrained from any act, gesture or
word which might offend the axis
powers.
The Greek press unburdened itself
in limited fashion-by calling the
torpedoing of the Helle a dis
graceful and cowardly blow at
Greece" but no speculation was per-
mitted as to the possible identity
of the submarine
The death toll of the incident rose
to five today.
Meanwhile, Italian propaganda
organs continued their attacks on
