RICHMOND, Va, March 22.-
Walter M. Anderson, Crewe manu-
facturer, who was convicted in the
United States District Court here
Of violations of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, was ordered COM
mitted to the Petersburg Federal
Reformatory today for non-payment
of 81 100 in fines.
Judge Robert N. Pollard imposed
fines of 500 each on IL counts of
violating minimum wage orders.
United States Labor Department
Attorney Beverley r. Worrell said
that this was the first Jail penalty
imposed in the United States in a
case of violation of the wage and
hour laws. The act forbids imprison-
ment except in the case of a second
conviction, but Judge Pollard said
he interpreted the statute as CIV
ing the Federal court the right to
order imprisonment for non-pay-
ment of fines.
Several women employees of the
Crewe garment plant testified that
they worked from q to 40 hours a
week for wages ranging from s1.60
to 81.
Mr.. Anderson denied that he at
tempted to evade the minimum wage
scales.

ANKARA, Turkey, March % (Sun-

today that if the Turks are forced
to fight Germany, now established
on their frontier with Bulgaria, So

This, these sources said, will be

Russian declaration reaffirming
their treaty of friendship and non

it would be made in general terms
within the next few days.
OUnconfirmed diplomatic dis

Turkey a statement that if the
Turks found it necessary to de-
fend themselves or to help Yugo-

for an invasion of Britain? If it
is really true that Germany is
engaged in masked position warfare
on several fronts, we should find it
easier to ascertain the directions in
which to look for Nazi-ism's weak
spots.
What forces are at Hitler's dis
posal? No authentic figures are
available, but perhaps we may an
swer this question in a modified
form, i.e., what forces must be
at Hitler's disposal in order to give
him the strategic mobility to which
he lays claim?
Here we see Germany was forced
to strain her resources to the utmost
in order to maintain her initiative
and freedom of action. She must
have possessed a total strength of
100000 men, of whom 2,3O0, 900
constituted armies of occupation
with little fighting value, while
another $500, 900 formed elite corps
of excellent quality for offensive
operations. Germany must have
had at least 80 armored and motor

in a position to mobilize another

Germany must have mobilized a

Bitter deadlocks over labor dis
putes in two key defense plants
promised last night to force the
Government into a speedy cryS-
tallization of its emergency
and perhaps wartime policy
toward interruptions of produc-
ton.
The disputes are those at the
Allis-Chalmers plant in Mil
waukee and the Harvill Aircraft Die
casting Corp. plant in Los Angeles.
The former reached the strike
stage on January %, involves 1900
men, and is delaying delivery of
turbo-generatorS for powder plants
and destroyers. The latter began
on March IL, involves $50 men, and
is threatening to tie up several West
Coast airplane manufacturing plants.
New Harvill Strike Moves Reported.
New moves toward ending the
Harvill strike were reported last
night by Government representa-
tives.
They said picket lines of the strik-
ing Diecasters' Union would be re-
moved, clerical and technical en-
ployes would return to work and
union company Government men
would reopen negotiations at the
plant at 10 am. today, as the re-
suit of conferences yesterday, the
Associated Press reported.
This does not mean that the
strike is settled yet" cautioned
Thomas F. Burns. senior labor con-
sultant of the Federal Office of Pro-
duction Management.
Mr.. Burns issued the announce
ment jointly with Paul Shoup of Los
Angeles, employer consultant ap-
pointed in the strike by o. M.
Director Sidney Hillman.
Their statement followed a stale
mated morning conference which led
Edward T. Cheyfitz. international
secretary of the union, to
telegraph a request that President
Roosevelt take over the plant. At
that time, Mr.. Cheyfitz charged the
company had rejected a six-point

Declaration Reoffirming Non-Aggression
Pact Expected to Be Made in Few Days

negotiated at Moscow by Vyacheslaff
Molotoff, Soviet Premier and For
eign CommisSar, and Atkay Alihay-
dar, the Turkish Ambassador.
Russia recently rebuked Bulgaria
for granting German troops permis-
sion to enter, telling her the U. S
S. R. cannot share the opinion of
the Bulgarian government as to the
correctness of the latter's position.
Moscow Coming Into Open.
In that light, these sources said
the Russian Turkish declaration
may be regarded as highly signi-
ficant for the future of warfare in
Eastern Europe as well as further
indication that Moscow is coming
out into the open against further
NaZi expansion in RusSia's own
spheres of influence.
Should Germany and Turkey be-
come embroiled, they said, it is ex-
pected that Russia will give all pos
sible material aid to the Turks, since
it is to her interest to keep the Ger
mans away from the Dardanelles
Turkish-guarded gateway to the
Black Sea, one of Russia's most i'm
portant commerce routes.
