 NOVEL STRENGTH

Harvard. Mass, Nov. 26-(UP)- The earthquake in the Atlantic ocean yesterday was so strong that some of the vibrations travelled two or three times around the earth, pr. L. Don Leet of the Harvard seismo- graph station said today.
 The epicenter was about 2600 miles north of east of the station. he said, between the Azores and the main land and was really a bang-up shock"
 The waves from the quake, Dr. Leet said, were recorded for more than i've hours at Harvard because some came direct and some went around the world before being re- corded. These waves-c coming from opposite directions-were so strong they made at least two. and some times three circuits of the earth.
 One of the shocks pushed an in- strument mirror aside and made 1t stick, pr. Leet said. and lat 26OO miles that's some pushing"

AIRPLANES ARE
 BEING HELD UP
Strikes at St. Louis, South Bend are Menacing Plane
 Production
Px United Pressl

Labor disputes ct St. Louis, Mo, and South Bend, Ind, menaced air- plane production today.
 At South Bend, officials Of the United Automobile Workers (CIO) announced union members had voted to authorize Q strike at the Ben- dix Aviation corporation, manu- facturer of airplane parts. The plant employs 5000. The union ordered Q strike vote when nego- tiations over renewal of a contract became deadlocked.
 At St. Louis, Curtiss Wright Air craft Corporation officials feared the three.day strike of machinists throughout the Metropolitan area may force Q complete shutdown of its plant today. Production was reduced sharply yesterday when most of the employees joined the strike. The company holds $i0O.- O00, 600 in contracts for Trainer and Fighter planes.
 The Mcdonnell Aircraft corpora ton, which has contracts worth $4,- 6O0, 600. to supply parts of major air- plane factories, has suspended oper- atiosis.
 Joseph D. Keenan, labor consult tant for the Office of Production Management, was conferring with union leaders in an effort to settle the three-way jurisdictional dispute which caused the strike. AFL ma chinists, carpenters and hoisting

CONFUSION IN
 STRIKES HARD HIT
Some of LabOr's Vigorous Cities Not in Favor of

United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, November 26. = (UP) - Some of organized labor's most vigorous critics and warinest sup porters were preparing today to op- pose the proposal for ending defense labor strikes with compulsory arbi- tartion.
 There still was no organized op- position to the labor program evolved at Q White House conference Monday night. And only a few of the opponents were speaking for publication until the final draft is available.
 But there were signs that appre- hension by some house members over how President Roosevelt would use the power to remand disputes to compulsory arbitration might cree ate another strange alliance of strong new dealers and the most adainant conservatives.
 Such an alliance beat the ad- ministration's first attempt to ac- quire statutory weapon against defense strikes. Last summer the house rejected e senate-approved amendment specifically empowering the President to commander struck plants.
 House champions of unrestricted business fear that Presidential au- thority to order labor disputes to compulsory arbitration, with the President designating the arblters,

Rep. Henry Mccormack of An. sonia, labor candidate for the Denl- ocratic nomination for Congress in the fifth district, said today that he was weighing the possibility" of entering Q ticket in Q Dem cratic primary here. Tickets must be filed with the town committee between Q and Q D. m. Saturday night, and the primary is scheduled for next "wednesday, Dec. 3. The members of the ticket elected in the primary will meet In .. city convention Dec. 2 to ch0ose WateTburys @ delegates to the district nomination, which will nominate the congressional can- didate, ct TcTTington Dec. %.
 Observers believed it unlikely, de- spite Rep. McCoFmaek's statement. that he would enter Q primary fight in Waterbury. 1t would mean hgcking the powerful local organiza- ton, which is supporting the can- didacy of Aldermanic President John s. Monagan.

Reduction In City Tax Rate Almost Certain
Board of Finance Completes Final Steps Today for Approval of Proposed Budget-Rate of SO5
 Mills Hoped for

4 reduction in the city tax rate for io42 appeared certain today as the board of finance prepared for final steps prior to approval of the proposed budget at Q meeting to- morrow night. A rate of 30.5 mills is the boards goal, reliable city hall sources said, but the rate may have to be fixed fraction higher, perhaps at 30.6 or BOT mills. The present rate is 3l mills.
 Lowering of the tax rate precludes any possibility of general pay in- creases for city employees, though raises in individual cases will prob- ably be provided. However, 1t Is re- ported that the finance boards final budget draft will include a special contingency appropriation that would be available for either in- creased welfare costs or for an em- ployes' bonus if one should be deemed necessary during next year.
 Fire Department Equipment
 The budget will provide funds for the purchase of some new fire de- partment equipment but not the amount requested by the fire board. The special defense item. started this year with an appropriation of $30,000, will be continued with an appropriation of the same amount or more.
 Funds for the purchase of new equipment for the city'S dental clinic will be provided in the health de- department appropriation. Money will be made available to the street

 Berlin, Nov. 2e-(UP) - Foreign Minister Joachim Won Ribbentrop said today that entry of the United states Into the war could not pre- vent an Axis victory, and that Axis land, sea and cir attacks "wiu destroy the British Isles"
 'Tf," said Rihhentrop, it should some day come to war on the one side between the United States of America and Europe and Asia on the other side, l state once and for all the responsibility lies with President Roosevelt.
 Germany has not the slightest reason and therefore no intention for proceeding against the United States and any idea of on attack on the United States is the stupid est nonsense"
 Ribbentrop, addressing the sigma tories of the antl-comintern pact ct q state luncheon declared:
 "Whetheg the United States comes into the war or not cannot &AVSk tAtC &AAAe VASsbkJs
 He charged that Prime Minister winston Churchill had revealed to the House of Commons in secret sessions" in 1o40 that Russia had entered into an alliance with Brit ain and that the United States had promised Britain unlimited aid"
 Europe Impregnable
 Ribbentrop claimed that Europe Is now "militarily impregnable," |" that 1t is blockade proof and eco- nomically secure; that with the re- sources obtained in Russia and the total European war production the Axis and It's allies Is able to bring concentrated military power to bear against Britain.

 Government quarters iaconically said that the AmeTican evacuation appeal deserved no comment and was "the .. s. governments own business. They said the appeal ~speaks for itself"
 Some informed sources said the move did not necessarily reflect dee velopsnents ak Washington which must be viewed from the long rang0 viewpoint"
 However, the press gave promi- nence to pesSimistio reports in Wash- ington over the outcome of the talks.
 It was understood that Americans In French Indo-China as well as those in Japan and Japanese trolled territory In china have been urged to get out.

 Lobert, 5e, served under the last two Phillies managers as coach. He has been with the club since 1888.
 'Lobert has made a very sincere and fine effort for the Philhes ana there is no question but what he had earned the opportunity" Presi- dent Gerald Nugent said "Prothro was a very fine associate to the team and a marvellous man to have but things did not break right and it was not his fault"
