TOXIC, Oct. al-The Japan
Times and Advertiser argued today
that the United States, "by a display
Of strength through tolerance and
concession" could start a SNOWFALL
of peace rolling, with Japan as a
prime mover.
The paper, controlled by the
Foreign Office, reiterated its recent
theme that Japan, in conjunction
with the United States. was the only
power in a position to bring about
world peace.
Without actually using the word
mediation, the paper said Germany
could not make peace because "the
chancellor Is in the midst of the
greatest battle in history" that
Britain could not because of her
commitments under the Atlantic
declaration and to exiled govern
mentS, and that the United States,
Soviet Russia and Chungking like
wise were unable to make any first
move because any overtures would
be interpreted as indicating weak
ness.
Thus, it said. Japan is the only
great power able to utilize any
American readiness for peace by en-
ploylng an initial United States
peace policy to the best advantage
everywhere in the wide world"

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Charles A.
Lindbergh, appealing to an America
First rally to unite behind a demand
for "a leadership of integrity" in
Washington, expressed the belief
last night that there is no danger
to this Nation from without-our
only danger is from within"
Addressing an overflow crowd at
Madison Square Garden, Mr.. Lind
bergh charged that the United
States had been led along the road
to war" and that President RooSe-
welt and his administration preach
about preserving democracy and
freedom abroad, while they practice
dictatorship and subterfuge at
home"
In addition to a crowd inside the
Garden estimated by Police Capt.
George Rensselaer, at 10000 persons,
a throng in surrounding streets of
from 5000 to 10000 listened over
loudspeakers to addresses by Mr..
Lindbergh, Senator Wheeler, Demo-
crat, of Montana; John Cudahy, for
mer United States Ambassador to
Belgium, and John T. Flynn. chair
man of the America First Commit
tees New York chapter.
Meeting Is Orderly.
The city assigned sos policemen to
the rally, placing 300 inside the
arena, but no disorders were re-
ported.
Senator Wheeler, asserting that
fear kept many Americans from
making known their opposition t.
this country's participation in war,
declared:
Never, never, did I think that
there would come day in this Re-
public when free Americans
and speak out for what they be-
heved"
Mr.. Cudahy asserted the United
States only hope of avoiding in
volvement in the war was for the
President to call peace conference
and suggested that former President
Herbert Hoover be put to work
drafting "a plan for permanent
peace settlement"
Mr.. Cudahy observed that Hitler
would not dare oppose such an offer
Of mediation at this time and was
cheered wildly by the fag-waving
crowd when he added:
Hitler is not immortal. When I
saw him five months ago he looked
like a sick man and I would not be
surprised if his days were num-
bered."
Ovation Delays Lindbergh.
Mr.. Lindbergh was delayed 10
minutes in starting his regular
speech by an ovation which greeted
his preliminary remarks to the street
throng.
Although none of the three major
radio networks carried the speeches,
Mutual arranged for a recording
and subsequent broadcast of part of
the proceedings.
In opening the meeting. Mr. Flynn
charged that three or four men
who control the radio networks have
arbitrarily shut off from the air the
voice Of this great gathering"
This brought statements from the
Columbia BroadcaSting System that
his charges were entirely without
foundation" and from Niles Tram

Broadcasting Co., that they were
unfair, unreasonable and unjust"

These young women responded enthusiastically and, under the supervision of Major Brinkman, were tested in the handling of an ambulance, reconnaissance wagon and two and one-half ton truck, all regular military transport equipment.
 "The general performance was such that Major Brinkman stated he was satisfied with carefully selected women, prperly trained, could well substitute for men in the operation of these three types of army vehicles. Physical re- quirements, of course, would be quite rigid. Operation of the truck would require then most skill because, in traffic, so much more allowance would have to be made for the vehicle on account of ex- tra width, height and length"
 Commissioner Connor added that the next stop will be to try and secure the needed equipment from the army so that an actual class in training could be inaugu- rated. Many applications have been received already, he stated, from women willing and anxious to volunteer. If and when the army equipment is provided Com missioner Connor stated the class would start immediately.

but birth certificates of persons now 65 years old or more are com paratively scarce. If a birth cer- tificate is not available, the So- cial Security Board office will ad- wise claimants about other types of proof of age which will be &C., ceptable.
 Workers and their wives who are planning to file claims for old age and survivors insurance bene- fits should obtain their proofs of age and marriage beforehand in order to avoid delay in getting their claims approved.

dictional strikes have no place in in
dustres engaged in defense work, as
they penalize the public and employ
ers "and are difficult of adjustment
because they do not involve question
Of wages, hours or working condi-

Perkins, Secretary of Labor.
"Union organizations, in their own
interest, if for no other reason, need
to find a way to adjust differences Of
this nature without any interruption
Of defense production" she added.
"Labor has status today and that
status carries with it responsibility
for cooperation with all responsible
groups and with employers to avoid
delays and Interruptions in defense

cents an hour basic minimum wage,
II cents an hour increase for all men
earning more than the minimum, a

Information On
Social Security

A plea To welfare agencies to stop
the practice Of stamping their names
on the social security cards of ap-
plicants for assistance was voiced to-
day.
This plea came from Glenn II. Pit
tenger, manager of the Social Sc
curity Board field office in Youngs-
town, Ohio, after officials Of the Fed
eral agency in Washington had made
a similar request. Explaining the
reason for his statement Mr.. Pittcnger
said:
at has been found that some en-
ploycrs will not hire men who present
social security cards which bear the
imprint Of rubber stamps naming
welfare organizations which have
helped these workers in times of
stress. Some welfare organizations
have stamped the social security
cards Of workers to prevent repeat
erS.'
at is the feeling of the Social Sc
curity Board that this practice may
be considered as an evidence Of pov-
erty Of the person bearing the card.
Some employers object to hiring such
workers, hence our request to the
welfare organizations. Any man who
has a social security card which has
been stamped in this manner may OBJ
tain a new card, without charge, by
applying at our office in the Erie
Terminal Building in Youngstown,
Ohio" Mr. Pittenger added.
