.,rtrol of local Go unions, striking
- The plant of the North American
sviation Co., greeted with boos and
aat.calls the warning of President
u o. that unless the strike was
ended the u. s. Army would take
over over the plants operation. The COM
usnv is working on $2O0,000,000 in
ltd defense contracts and several
thousand loyal workers were kept
from returning to the plant by
nicket lines of Communist terrorists,
An production closed down until
r S. troops crashed the Go picket
lines and opened the plant to non
strikers.
Toronto, Canada-In a heated
condemnation of labor strikes in de-
fanse industries, Premier Hepburn Of
canada termed the Go a racket"
and declared that it constituted "the
greatest enemy of democracy on the
North American Continent" This
John L. Lewis union, largely dom
mated by C communists, was kicked
out of Canada in 1887.

Detroit, Mich.--''IJ-s nos going to
be hard to beat the Subs" declared

tors mechanical wizard, in announc-
ing a device being rushed to mass
production that will detect Nazi

surface at night to recharge their
batteries. Mr.. Kettering, who has

department. on the problem of meet
ing the U-boat menace.
Syrian Invasion Begins
Cairo, Egypt - Operating from
three spearheads, British and "free
French" troops have entered Syria,
Key to the Middle East, in a deter
mined effort to block the latest
move Of Nazi troops toward the Suez
Canal. So tense Is the situation
throughout the Mediterranean basin
that General Weygand, in command
French forces in North Africa,
may break with the Vichy Govern
nlent rather than join Marshal Pc
tain as an ally OF Hitler and make
war against England, as both Ad-
nlral Darlan and Petain evidently
pan. The only effective modified
roops that Vichy now has is Wey-
gands army in Morocco and Tu-
niSia.
