A showdown between Govern
ment and extremists in organized
labor over strike privileges in
defense industries was shaping
up today as President Roosevelt
gave striking aircraft workers a
final "a hours to decide a volun-
tary return to work or see their
plant requisitioned and operated
by the United States Army.
The plant in immediate ques-
ton was that of the North Amer
lean Aviation Co. at Inglewood,
Calf, where members of the C.
I. o. United Automobile Workers
have been on strike since Thurs
day morning.
All orders for requisitioning and
operating the plant were prepared
for President Roosevelt Friday, and.

be issued tomorrow morning unless

there should be no further inter-

action followed word that there was
real hope of a voluntary termina-
ton of the strike at tonight's meet
ing, but q strict deadline was i'm
posed against any possible delay.
Machinists' Chief Summoned.

he wants an end to the machinists'
strike in the San Francisco ship
yards.

partment.
A third trouble spot in the labor
picture, that of the lumber strike
in the Pacific Northwest. in which
the national leadership of the c. l.
o. already has called publicly for
termination of the work stoppage, is
being watched without approval by
the President. the White House dis

TIPS 70
Gardeners
GARDENS OF QUALITY


THERE have been changes In
i recent years in garden prac-
tees that are worth reporting.
Gardeners formerly allowed vege-
tables to grow as large as possible.
This procedure gave a higher
yield in pounds, but very often it
lowered the quality of vegetables.
Some vegetables, of course, like
tomato, must be mature to be pal
atable; but carrots, cucumbers,
beets, summer squash, turnips,
radishes, and others are more ten
der and tasty when not much
more than half grown.
Gardeners are finding that it is
wise to plant oftener than once or
twice a year, to maintain regu-
lar supply of proper-sized vege-
tables. Gardens prove more en-
joyable, and more profitable when
successive paintings of favorite
crops are made every two or three
weeks, providing garden-fresh
vegetables for the table over
long season.
It is also true that few garden
ers today save flower seeds. Fine
flowers growing in the home gar
den often are cross-pollinated by
others of the same species, max
ing flowers grown from their seed
