HENDEY WORKERS
 STAGING WALKOUT
About 30 Torrington Fac. tory Employees Protest
 "Speed-up-System'

Torrington. May l4-Between 25 and 30 workers in Department 1, the lathe room at Hendey Machine Company, staged & protest walkout Tuesday at 3 D. in., but union spokesman reported Tuesday night that the men would be back at their machines Wednesday morning when CrO and factory officials will con- fer in an attempt to iron out their differences.
 A union estimate of the number who walked out was placed at 42, but impartial observers said the number was between 25 and 30. The walkout is the first at the plant in two years, union officials said. In June, i930, there was general strike at the plant. Union officials said that the men walked out in protest to a "speed-up system in- augurated by the company. The workers were required. they said, to do more work for less money than previously paid.
 Several months ago workers at the plant were given a general wage increase following series of con- ferences with state and national conciliators. At that time the union threatened to call . strike.

Editors of German-American newspapers, summoned to Wash ington for the trial of the Ger man news agency, Trans-Ocean, enjoyed a profitable junket. One editor from the West Coast, though not called on to testify, drew down $4O0 in expenses -5 cents a mile plus $4.50 per diem. British officials in Washington al ways send two copies of commun ications to London, one by sea and one by air. For a time, they found that nearly all sea-borne Correspondence was lost. A newsman entered a War Depart ment office which bore the letters "OUSW" on the door. He asked an Army deskman what the let ters meant. The deskman didn't know, and asked another. Finally the truth came out. "OUSW" stands for Office of the Under Secretary of War.

FRENCH LESSONS FOR U.S.A

In Vichy these days the French General Staff has almost nothing to do except sit at little cafe tables and drink coffee. There were some good men on the French General Staff, though begged down by averaged super lurs.
 And now with plenty of time on their hands, these officers oc- cupy themselves with plotting what they would do if they were running the operations in the var ious war theatres.
 Not long ago they gave to Am erican newsmen in Vichy this formula for winning the war. If they were directing the strategy of the United States, they said, they would stage an immediate naval and bombing attack on Tokyo.
 Japan is sure to come to grips with the United States anyway, they argued, so it is far better for the U. s. A. to pick the time of battle and its place rather than waiting until Japan and Germany have seriously weaken ed or knocked out the British fleet.
 An American attack on Tokyo, the French General Staff argued would devastate the paper and bamboo capital, take Japan out of the war, and cause such ter rife reactions on the German peo pie that Hitler could hardly con- tinue fighting.
 What Europe is watching, said the French offers, is whether the United States really means busi- ness-and before it is too late. A strong initiative by the Unit ed States, they said, could easily end the war now.

War At Home

While taxation and new taxes to pay the nations defense bill are holding the headlines, there has been lot of comment on the proposal to require all married couples to file a joint income tax return.
 The joint return would fall heavily, women pointed out, on couples where the wife as well as the husband has a fair sized pay check coming in every month. It would penalize work ing women for getting married, they declare.
 Indeed, an indictment on the morals of the proposal was voic- ed by Arthur Graham, noted Glasgow gas technologist, who wrote the New York Times that the joint return law is immoral as well as immoral, for it allots premium to living in sim"

MERRY-GO-ROUND THE WASHINGTON
By Drew Pearson ard Robert s. Allen

WASHINGTON-On President Roosevelts desk is stack of con fidential naval reports from the Far East which show that there are two big squeeze plays be- hind the squadron of Japanese transports and warships which silently dropped anchor of south Indo-China.
 As far as the United States is concerned this may be the most important move of the entire war. For here is the double squeeze-play:
 l. The Japanese want to keep the United States so worried ov- CT the Far East that no more ships will be sent to protect Brit ish shipping in the Atlantic, or to take the Azores and police Dakar.
 2 Japan also will force the British to keep part of their fleet around Singapore, thus prevent ing heavy British concentrations in the Near East.
 More than two years ago the Washington Merry Go-Round re- ported the concern of the Navy Department in case the fleet had to be spread out over two oceans at once. IL now looks as if this is exactly what the Navy now faces.

Hitler's Time Table

All of this Japanese maneuver- inc according to the reports on Roosevelt's desk, is a definite part of the Hitler table. He has planned, first of all, to mon LID the Red Army before cold weather descends on the wind swept plains of Russia.
 After that, and during the aquable winter weather of the tropics. he will concentrate on the Mediterranean, the Near East Suez. and later on India. This was one reason the Nazis paid no attention to the British advance into Syria. They figured they could wait and later put the squeeze on Syria from two sides.
 While the Nazis are busy in the Near East, it is the Hitler Iplan for a simultaneous Japan csc move on Singapore and the Dutch East Indies. Thus the Brit ish will have to be fighting in two places at once, will have to spread their naval forces thin, just as it is Hitler's present in tention to force the United Stat es to spread its naval forces thin.
 Inside word is that there's a degnite deal between Hitler and the Japanese for division of the spells in the Orient. Japan, ac- cording to U. s. intelligence ad- vices, will get French Indo-China Siam, the Philippines, Singapore, and the Malays, the Dutch East Indies, and Burma.
 Germany will get all the rest India, Iraq, Iran. Palestine, Egypt, and Syria-if, of course, Russia caves in and the Hitler timetable doesn't slow down. That is one big reason why there is so much roofing for Rus sia in Washington; why every military communique is put un- der the microscope so hopefully.

Defending Pacific

As far as the United States is concerned, the Japanese move finds us not in the best of shape The Japanese know it, and that is one reason they are moving with impunity.
 There is plenty of the fleet left in the Pacific to defend our side of the pond and then some. But any action across the widest part of the Pacific around Singapore is something else again.
 The Japanese also know tha, we have some PBY's around the Philippines and south. These are giant naval patrol bombers cap able of cruising more than 5000 miles. No attempt was made to hide the fact that these big bomb CTS were flown out to the Philip pines, Hawaii, Guam and Wake and the Japanese know they are not be sneezed at.
 The reports on Roosevelt's desk do not indicate that Japan will attack Singapore or the Dutch East Indies now. Chief value of the present move is CD to keep us from moving more ships into the Atlantic to take the Azores and other key islands; (2) to get entrenched in Indo- China ready for the attack when Hitler is ready to give the signal in the Near East.

a alphabetical vitamins and believ es in finding ways to feeding plenty of them to the American public in the interests of nation al defense.
 The vitamins the salmon can- ners are throwing in the bays are contained in salmon oils. said Dr. Weiss. He estimated that of the approximately 500 million pounds of salmon caught in the United States and possessions dur ing each year, about 30 percent of the tonnage is waste and will yield betwen Is and 20 gallons salmon oil per ton.
 He sad salmon oil can be pro- duced with a Viamin A content equal to good grades of cod liver oil, and with twice as much Vita man D as the cod oil. At present, he pointed out. only about 300,- 900 gallons of oil are being pro- duced commercially a year, but with the use of oil which is lost with the tossing aside of fish en- trails from canneries, he estimat- ed a production of 100000 gal Ions of oil year is possible.
 To canners, he pointed out that the supplying of vitamins in con centrated forms for American consumption is no small business. In 1925, the vitamin industry amounted to only S343,000; but in 1889, there were 41.645, 900 worth of vitamins marketed in the country, or an increase of 12l times in l4 years.
 While canners to whom Dr. We.ss talked agreed that it was waste to toss billions of Vita min A and D units unto the sea each year, they told him it would not pay canneries 10 process the salmon oil separately or collect 1t in central processing plants. Just the same, Dr. Weiss suggest ed that a pilot plant be put in at some cannery, to cost between $20,000 and $30,000, just to test the practicability of processing the oil.
 Other uses of salmon oil are for animal and poultry feeds, for frying purposes (when hardened it is without odor or taste); com bined with metals for the manu- facture of industrial soaps, as an ingredient in paints and varnish- es, for tanning, as a lubricating agent in the cutting and cooling of metals, and as an agent in the manufacture of linoleum and oil cloth.
 Of course, all the vitamins are not dumped in the bay under meath cannery docks when sal mon are canned. The U. s. gov enment has long recognized the value to canned fish products to preserve the health of its army. During the first World War, 50,00O,000 cans of salmon were consumed by the A.E.F. and 75O,- GOO cans of sardines.

Protection
 For Carvers

Protection of the Eskimos of the Boring Sea against cheap, or iental competition in their own ivory carving art is one of the principal aims of the House Bill tl606) which was approved by the House Representatives com mittee on Territorial Affairs.
 The bill would limit the killing of walrus to just those animals needed by natives for food, or by prospectors and explorers for food when no other food is avail able. It would also prohibit eX- port of raw, uncarved ivory from Alaska, To put teeth in the act, a fine of $500 or imprisonment for six months is provided for any offenders. :,
 Against the doubts of some members of the congressional committee that the act might work a hardship on some of the Eskimo settlements by preventing the natives from selling their un carved tusks, Alaska's Delegate to Congress, Anthony J. Dimond and Seton T. Thompson, assist ant chief of the division of Al aska fisheries, fish and wildlife service, stationed in Washington, testified that passage of the act may actually put money in the pockets of the northern tribes.
 The way things stand now, raw ivory is sold to dealers outside the Territory, they explained. then the tuskS are carved by or rentals and shipped back to A. aska curio stores, to be sold as native-carved ivory. At the same time, the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs, through it's school system, is placing emphasis on ivory cary ing and other Eskimo arts and crafts, so young members of the tribes may be able to duplicate the masterful carving work of their ancestors.
 Under the act of 1908, Thomp- son told the Representatives, no walrus are allowed to be slaush tered for ivory alone, but be- cause of lack of enforcement. it is believed that the 1,500 Walrus killed annually are far in excess of the food needs of the 1.509 Eskimos living in the section where they depend on the big tuskers for their food require ments. With the additional law to prevent export of raw ivory. this excess slaughter could be stopped, he believes.
 The ivory from one Walrus sells, uncarved, for only about $l0, it was brought out at the hearing. But that same ivory, carved by cheap oriental crafts men in the States, bounces back in the Alaska market to under sell, in their own markets, the carved products of the Eskimos themselves.
 Thus the bill, it was shown, will serve the double purpose of conserving the Alaskan walrus herd and at the same time pro- vide better income for Eskimos from the sale of less ivory. For with no outside competition to bring down the price, Eskimos will be able to control the mar ket on the tusks they carve.
