WASHINGTON, April 3. If there's anything in the world that sounds better to hungry soldier than "Soupee-ee, Soupee, Soupee, :" it's the bugle call that means Mail From Home!'
 Twice a day, in camps from San Diego to Newfoundland, it rings out, and the boys cluster around their company mail orderlies-try- ing to appear nonchalant an d "who-gives-a-w -whoop" but all strain ing their ear drums to catch the call of their names that means a letter from home. from the best girl, the wife, or the pal that's left behind.
 Back of all this is the modern story of "the mail must go through" It may seem little more prosaic than in those days when the Pony Express rode it's way through band of rowling h. dians or the early mail-plane pilots who took off in a binding sleet

WASHINGTON.-To insiders, the story behind the clattering head lines of labor strife is two sharp ly divergent sets of basic conditions.
 1. Determination of CIO lead CTS. secretly directed by John L.. Lewis. to use the vast defense pro gram to entrench the CIO in mass production industries, and to break the unyielding anti-union opposition of such die-hards as Henry Ford and Little Steels" Bethlehem and Republic.
 2. The jurisdictional jealousies Of warning AFL craft unions.
 In no major dispute recently de- laying national defense has the real issue been hours or wages. It has been a tangle over jurisdiction or union recognition.
 Thus defense and Labor depart ment officials have been up against brain-b busting complexities of bitter factional hatreds, weak AFL control at the top, leftist obstructive machi- nations and a politics-motivated leadership in the CIO. And on the other side, they have faced hard boiled emplo yers, determined to make no concessions, regardless of the cost.
 Not helping the situation, also has been certain amount of covert anti labor sniping by certain $l-a-year die-hards in the Defense organiza- tion.
 Knudsen, Hillman, Stimson, Knox, Patterson, Nelson, Stettinius, For restal, have had no trouble work ing together. They have had diff fering views, but they have cooper ated tremendously. But some of the subordinate $1-a-year masterminds have engaged in occasional under cover pot-shooting which hasn't helped the men at the top.

FEW CITIES EQUAL IT

To illustrate the point. let's just take the problem-the modern, up- to-tomorrow problem of the APO (Army Postoffice). Already there are postoffices in 56 Army camps, serving 1,003,500 men (by mid- summer. the number will be at least l.486,000D. Only five cities in the United States serve as many persons with mail-but wait.
 Postoffice officials, after years of surveying, figure that only two persons out of five ill the United States use the mails. That's be- cause of infants, illiterates, in- valids, etc. But there are none of these in Army camps. The train ees. regular Army and National Guard men are 100 percent mail

Cap; Wanders Four Miles
Through Woods.

An Ely woman and her daughter
who became lost in the wilderness
north Of Shagawa lake when they went
after the cows spent night in the
woods before being found by a search
ing party.
The woman, Mrs. John Koschak.
who lives about a mile and a half up
the Echo trail, had fallen and broken
a knee cap, while her daughter.
Theresa, II year old, was uninjured.
The two left home Monday after
noon, and had wandered about four
miles through the area between Shay
ava and Little Long lake before Mrs.
Koschak injured her knee They were
travelling away from their house.
Mrs. Koschak and daughter had
left two smaller children at home.
The husband returned from his work
in the mine at about o'clock and
the children who had been asleep told
the father that the mother and sister
had been gone only a short time and
would come back with the cow in
few minutes. The children were not
aware of the passing time.
A search by Mr.. Koschak and neigh
bors located the missing mother and
daughter at about $780, A fire was
started and the injured woman was
made as comfortable as possible. She
was brought to the Shipman Hospital
by the ambulance after having been
carried to an unused road near where
they were found. Theresa suffered no
i'll effects.
The weather was wet and cold but
a rain coat on Mrs Koschak and
daughter helped considerably in keep
ing them from chilling to any alarming
extent.
