E Hitler Hurling His Hordes Into Bloodiest Encounter
NAUCATUCK HAS MORE TROUBLE
Vital Fabric Cutting Dept. Union Workers Quit Jobs
 This Morning
fSpecial to The Denocratl

(SpScial 70 Xne DemOCraV
 Naugatuck, August 22.-Work in the vital fabric cutting department of the U. s. Rubber footwear plant here stopped at 8 o'clock this morning as union workers refused to work with non-union workers and at 11:30 the strikers still had not returned to work. It was stated . that if the strike continued to 2:30 the entire waterproof mill in which 2,5OO are employed, will be forced to shut down.
 There are only 50 employees in the fabric cutting department but in this department fabrics needed by other departments in the manu- fracture of rubber footwear are cut out by beam presses. Lack of such fabrics would force other depart mentS to shut down.
 At II a. m. several service depart nents had been forced to stop work and indications were that other de partmentS in the waterproof mil would be affected shortly, as tl1eil supplies .dwindle. A
 It could not be learned definitely this morning how many employees of the fabric cutting department were not union employees. Some said eight, some said IS. This is a fur ther effort on the. part of the union to secure a 100 per cent member ship. It was reported early today that the mill room might go on strike Monday for the same reason, but this report had not been con- f1rmed.
 Several weeks ago there was a work stoppage in the boot room and Wednesday and part of Thursday there were work stoppages in the gaytee department,

 vichy, France, August p. - (UP) - Reports in the German controlled Paris press of the "uncovering' of a worldwide revolutionary plot, said to have American financial backing, diverted attention today from the use of force by German troops to subdue hostile factions in Paris.
 Runners If "a eplot.r circulating for days, finally were published by the Paris weekly, Lapel, which added . wierd touch by associating the plotters with the mysterious deaths of the engineer, Jean Oout- rot and, a few days later, of his secretary, Albert Thealet. L'Appel said Coutrot committed suicided ''by order" and said he was the founder of the new revolutionary movement known as "Synarchy," which, ac- cordlng to L'Appel, has its roots among graduates of the French Poly technic School, who comprise most of the technical officers of the French army.

SENATOR BYRD IS
 GIVEN ANSWER
President Roosevelt Points Out Somebody Must Have
 Fooled Him
BY T. F. REYNOLDS

United Press Staff COrreSpondent)
 Hyde Park, N. Y., August 22. - (UP) = President Roosevelt aS- serted today that charges of Sena- tor Harry F. Byrd that the defense program was begging down were based on almost completely inac- curate statistics and added that somebody sold the senator down the river. On the average, defense pro- duction is up to estimates, and in some cases actually exceeded estt- mates, MT. Roosevelt said at a press conference. While he said he still is not satisfied with armament pro- duction, he cited War Department figures to show that Byrd's charges were considerably wide of the act ual production records.
 At the same time MT. Roosevelt struck at opponents of his foreign policy, recalling the classic wrong guess of the late Senator William E. Borah in July. 1889, on the pros poets of war. At an historic White House conference, he recalled, Borah told Secretary of State Cordeli Hull that his information was better than that of the State Department, and predicted that there would be no European war that year.
 The war came a few weeks later, the President recalled. And yet, he pointed out, Borah's information as veteran member of the Senate For eign Relations Committee undoubt- edly was superior to. the information fr,o,.ki,,.saA s.,, YaaOa Ql

 "so we were forced to disrupt our industrial fabric" he continued, mot only to arm ourselves to the teeth, but to become the armory Of democracies, for it soon became evi- dent that only by the defeat of the sinister powers of cynical conquest before they reached our shores could we even have the slightest chance of staying out of actual war. Unfortunately, here as abroad there were and are appeasers and coEn- pEonlisers who contend for treaties with forces that make a mock of treaties, for agreements with forces that fOrswear promises and pledges ct their convenience"
 The president conceded the right Of his opponerlts to their oplnions and said that so9ac were sincere Iii believing "that in some Inystefieus gay peace may como pf innctlon og inadequate octlou."

Japan Asks America To Give Guarantees
Wants Assurance No BOmbers VIII Be Based in Eastern Siberia; British Military Chief Makes
 Report on Russian War
BY ROBERT BELLAIRE

United Press StaR Correspondent)
 Tokyo, Aug. p ' (UP) - Koh Ishii, chief government spokesman, announced today that Japan want ed guarantees from the United States that it would not base Amer ican bombing planes in Eastern Si- beria.
 He refused to amplify this state ment and there was no indication whether the government intended to ask for specific assurances or had taken this indirect means of invit- ing them.
 In making his statement Ishii said, as he done before, that the government was gravely concerned over the United States sending war materials to Russia. Japan would be Hess concerned" if the supplies were not delivered by way of the Far East, but he did not make it clear what Japan's interest would be if the United States sent aid to Russia by route other than across the Pacific to VladivoStok.
 (Japan, though allied with Ger many, has a neutrality treaty with Russia. In what way Japan would seek to show even mild concern over dealings between the United States and Russia by routes other than the Vladivostok one was not clear. So far Japanese spokesmen in voicing concern" over the aid to Russia problem, have emphasized that aid ships would have to pass close to Japan.

JOHN D. GONZALES

United Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 Washington, Aug. 22.-(UP)-De- fense officials disclosed today that the need of the armament indus tries for raw materials will force at least a 50 per cent reduction in the output of refrigerators, laundry and heating equipment, metal fur niture and other household ap- plianceS.
