UNIONS ADVISED
 TO BE VIGILANT
Anti=Strike Bill May Be Introduced Into State
 General Assembly

Warning to labor unions and other groups to be alert for legisIa- tive measures which threaten the right to strike was issued Saturday by the Labor's Non-Partisan League, 8 legislative arm of State c. I. O. unions.
 Calvin J. Sutherlin, state organ izer of the league, who signed the warning, directed the "action let ter" to the c. I. o. units and all progressive labor, civic and frater- nal organizations.
 The letter pointed out the series of defense measures introduced into the state legislature by the attor- ney general and quoted the national office of Labor's Non-Partisan League as saying that if these bills are passed, any strike, no matter how justifiable, would open the way to wholesale arrests.
 Calling upon labor and other in- terested state groups to make known their opposition to the bills, the let- ter stated, by informing Governor Robert A. Hurley and members of the General Assembly.

read in the M-Day Program long since prepared by the War Depart ment.
 Self-suf1ciency looms large all over the world and will continue to increase, Chase prophecies. World trade, for instance, will undergo drastic revisions. Among the events listed in the article as probable is a hemisphere trading post or cartel to prevent the totalitarians from cashing in on the economic distress of Latin America. According to Chase, America must help clear these southern surpluses of wheat, coffee, beef, nitrates and so on. To cope with this, another probability is a hemisphere dollar" handled by central trading agency.
 Invasion, states Chase, is not like ly for at least two years. Even then, it is highly improbable, because by that time our defense will be built to point where invasion will have almost no chance of success. Unless some extraordinary new method of transportation is invented. North America will not be invaded in our time, but if the United States goes to war as an ally of Britain it will not save democracy, liberty, capi- talism, or anything on the moral agenda. It may save England from a military defeat, but nothing can save her from going 100 per cent so- cialist," Chase prophecies. The rul- ing class and "old school tie" ac- cording to this observer are things of the past.
 Concluding his article, Chase writes, Another possibility is that after on or two disastrous wars be- tween the new continental blocs which are forming, mankind will take the final political step, a bloc of blocs, the federation of the world, with one official language, one cur- rency, one tariffless world market, and one powerful air force to keep the peace. You and I will not live to see this, but sometimes in the dead of night I glimpse it's shape, far away in the misty future"

Officials Of Nearby
Areas Voice Concern
Over erBui|ding Curb
Hope for Permission
Continue Privute
Construction Voiced

Nearby Virginia officials yesterday
expressed deep concern over the
Governments action in curbing new
building projects not deemed es-
sential to defense or public health
and safety, fearing the step would
work a particular hardship on the
Metropolitan Area of Washington
With both Arlington County and
Alexandria currently experiencing
record-breaking building booms, the
consensus among those questioned
appeared to be that private con-
Struction should be allowed to con-
tinue because the Governments eX-
pansion of defense agencies has
created serious problems of apart
ment and residence housing.
Likewise, these officials believe,
Improvements such as highways and
streets should be allowed to proceed
because of the transportation prob
lens created by larger populations.
1T is unfair to force a white collar
defense worker to live in quarters
that are not in keeping with his
taste and financial ability" County
Manager Frank c. Hanrahan of
Arlington declared. Arlington,
through private enterprise and Fed
eral Housing Administration assist
ance. has gone the limit in provid-
ing housing facilities In my opin-
ion, to SMUT off this private enter
prise at this time would diSlocate
labor, injure the building trades and
would kill the main effects of the
defense effort in this area.
Hopes for Broad Policy.
ut is TO be hoped that the policy
is sufficiently broad in application
to permit us to meet problems which
are directly the result of an influx
OF large numbers of defense white
collar workers
Arlington County Engineer c. L.
Kinnier said his department has
not yet felt the effect of priorities
ratings in road-building and sewer
materials but. he added, we un-
doubtedly will feel it in the very
near future"
