Brake attacks
The Goeernor;s
Strike Policy
~ JACK I. GREEN

CLEANSING. May 17-(R-
With q whitening blast at Gov
ernor Van Wagoner's handling
of Michigan strikes, Senator d.
Hale Brake, Republican, STAN
ton, turned back last night an
attempt to bury in committee
attorney general Herbert ].
Rushton's secret police" bill.
The attempt to shunt the bill
off the floor was led by Senator
Earnest G. Brooks, Democrat,
Holland, who described the
measure as intended to create q
"Gestapo."
The bill would establish bur-
eau of investigation in the at
torney generals office. Rushton
said he would use 1t to enforce
peace in labor strikes and might
employ as many as 100 men.
II can't conceive of anything
that would more thoroughly
Hitlerize the state than this bill"
Brooks declared.
The Holland Senator asserted
the bill placed no limit on the
number of men Rushton might
employ, that it placed sole con-
troll of the force in the Attorney
Generals hands, that the agency
could not be required to disclose
its records, reports or expense
accounts to anyone except on or
ders of the attorney general, and
that it would arm the investiga-
tors.
what is going on in Michigan
that we need to have hundreds,
or thousands, of men going
around armed to investigate
things?" Brooks asked. =
Brake replied that trouble"
had been caused in a lumber
company strike in Detroit for
several weeks in which men
were injured and property dam
aged without being stopped"
1T would take the front Of
flee Governors office) just one
hour to stop all this, Brake de-
clared. Just one announcement
that the law would be enforced.
It's not the fault of the police
but Of this administration that
the strikers jeered and shook
their fists in the face of the law.
"The people of Michigan aren't
used to that and they are not 60
ing to stand for it. If this admin
istration doesn't come to life, we
are going to have law enforce
ment by vigilantes."
Senator James A. Burns. De-
troit, Democratic floor leader,
declared that Governor Van
Wagoner's handling of the Ford
strike had brought him national
praise.
when the Governor settled
that strike and got the men back
to work, it's not for the likes of
this legislature to criticize"
Burns declared.
Brakes once had the bill de-
layed until next week, declaring
too few Senators were present to
act on it. BY a ii to nine vote,
Brooks was successful in rescind-
ing that move but, after Brakes
defense, lost a move to send it
an unfricndly committee by a
vote of nine to IL.

Syrian airdromes which Ger
many might use as jumping-off
places for q drive on the Suez
Canal soon will be targets for
about attacks by the Royal Air
force, informed Britons asserted
today, as the question of French
German collaboration doomed
ever larger on the world horizon.
German planes on air fields
at Damascus, Kayak and Pal
myra already have been attcked,
but well-posted sources in Lon
don predicted Royal Air Force
bombers would turn familiar
Nazi blitzkrieg tactics to their
own ends and endeavor to wreck
landing fields in French-man-
dated Syria beyond use.
French sources in Vichy &C.
knowledged that British planes
had bombed Syrian airdromes
yesterday but a statement said
these attacks were not consid-
cred aggression.
Quarters close to the French
government in Vichy expressed
establishment at what they de-
scribed as "semi- official declara-
tons" in the United States indi-
eating. that occupation of French
Guiana and Martinique was I'M
der consideration.
They said the United States
must have misinterpreted pro-
jected French collaboration with
Germany and expressed the
greater surprise that President
Roosevelt apparently took Chief
of State Marshal Philippe Pc
tain's talk of collaboration "as
putting French colonies at the
disposal of Germany"
Authoritative sources in
Washington, meanwhile, said the
FL American republics were
ready to establish provisional
administration over FIR n c h
colonies in the new world II
French-G er m a n collaboration
should be projected into the
western hemisphere.
The London Press was bitterly
critical of France, the Times
flashing at what it called "Vichy's
act of betrayal" in permitting
German planes TO use Syrian air
fields. The British government
took a serious view of the situa-
ton, and authoritative sources
pointed out that German pene-
tration of Syria would put
Nazi forces within $50 miles of
the Sliez Canal-ultimate issue
i'm the conflict in the middle east.
West of Suez, British forces
were said to be hammering at
Axis forces in Fort Capuzzo,
just across the Libyan border
from Salum, Egypt. which the
British reported taking ycster-
day. London sources. however,
did not regard the action there
as resumption of general Brit
ish offensive nor as an indication
that the danger of an Axis drive
in Egypt was past.

The use Of the naval repair ia
cilities. authorized by the terms of
the Lease-Lend Act. would not in
terfere with the huge L. s. fleet

but their availability would increase
the British convoy efficiency in the

Under the lease-lend provision, it
was explained. this country is eX-
tending TO British fighting ships. in
effect. the same privileges accord
ed to British merchant vessels.
Since the war began. British cargo
carriers have been putting in at pri.
vate American yards for repairs of
all types, and no restrictions have
applied to work OF this character.
Any repairs TO British warships
in American navy yards. experts
believe. would be sO-called light. w.
or overhaul work. Heavy major re.
pairs. it is assumed. would continue
to be handled in British dockyards.
They emphasized. however, that the
ability to have light repairs made
without lost time had great naval
significance.
