ski clothes, accompanied the group.
Six of them said they hoped to see

two wished to do Office work that
would aid the armed forces.
King Haakon declared he was
proud of the way my people have
shown their temporary masters they
will never submit"
A 24-year-old Norwegian sergeant
who fought at Narvik and was
chosen leader of the group en- route
to England responded to the Kings
welcome.
Il know those at home are jealous
they didn't escape with us" ne said.
"All of us will sacrifice our last drop
of blood for the cause of our coun-
try"

Supreme Court Hears
Case Of Glass Union
Representation
Employees Should Name
Own Bargaining Agents,
Attorneys Contend

A representation case which caused
a sharp split in the Labor Board
itself was before the Supreme Court
today with counsel contesting
board order setting up the c. I. o.
as bargaining agent for fiat glass
workers in six plants of the Pitts
burgh Plate Glass Co., although the
union had a majority in only five.
J. w. McAfee and Henry Ober-
schelp, st. Louis attorneys, contended
yesterday that employees in widely
scattered plants should name their
own bargaining agent and said the
board illegally had deprived en-
ployes of the Crystal City (Mo)
plant of the right to determine their
representation by grouping them
into single unit with other plants
at Ford City, Pa; Creighton, Pa;
Mount Vernon, Ohio; Clarksburg,
w. Va, and Henryetta, Okla.
Leiserson Dissented.
When the order was handed down
several months ago William NJ.

Matsuoka Will Visit
Berlin and Rome
For Axis ParIeys
Purpose Declared to Be
DeIiberotion of All
Questions Under Pact
Hy the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March s.-Japan's
Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka
is to pay an unprecedented visit to
Berlin and then TO Rome. 1t was an
nounced today, and political quar-
ters considered it probable that he
would discuss with German and Ital-
ian leaders all the wide affairs Of the
axis alliance.
Authorized sources in announcing
Matsuoka's coming did not specify,
the date.
These quarters were non-com-
initial on a report by Doemi, jap
anese news agency, that the CONVEX
sations were designed for a mutual
exchange of information on the "eve
of an invasion" of England.
"Of course, the three-power pact
covers big territory and many mat
ters of coordination" informed
quarters commented.
The visit of Matsuoka follows sew
eral contacts through diplomatic and
military channels. Japanese army
and navy commissions visited Ber-
lin recently and viewed German mil
itary dispositions, including even her
long-range artillery on the English
Channel.
The oficial announcement said
Matsuokas visit was for personal
deliberations on all questions arising
from collaboration as set forth in
the three-power pact between Ger
many, Italy and Japan"
Following the Berlin talks the
Japanese Foreign Minister is going
to Rome.
Advices from the Orient intimat-
ing that Matsuoka might visit Ber-
lin, Moscow and Rome were cited
by the Associated Press February 81
as indicating the possibility of a
major diplomatic move by the axis
powers perhaps rivaling Japan's ad-
herence to the German-Italian al
lance last September.
1t was suggested that in event of
a visit to Berlin Matsuoka's mission
might mean, one, strengthening Of
Japan's ties with the axis; two,
formulation Of a common program
of action against Britain and the
United States, both in Europe and
the Far East; three. that Japan is
loath to take an active part in the
war against Britain and wishes to
explain her position to Adolf Hitler.
