WASHINGTON-N CIO Presi- dent Phil Murray has his anti-red supporters baffled.
 At the Atlantic City convention he baked for several days at talk ing the office because he could net get assurances of a free hand from the left-wing Lewis faction. Fin ally, through the timely leadership of Sidney Hillman, this promise was won for Murray and he was elected clear of any restraints to clean house.
 Murray's packers did not expect him to start purging at once. They figured it would take him several months to get the reins firmly in his grasp. But Murray has moved faster and in an entirely different direction than they expected. h. stead of starting to reorganize, ke apparently is entrenching John L. Lewis henchmen more strongly than before
 Murray's first move has been to give Allan s. Haywood, director of organizers (one of the most stra- tegic positions in the CIO), two additional jobs-head of the Unit ed Federal Workers and boss of the local industrial unions.

ONE WHO BACKED WILLKIE

To the l-LeWlSlteS, Haywood is poison. He is not left-winger, but he is completely under Lewis thumb. When John L. bolted to Willkie, Haywood not only was one of the few consequential CIO of- ficials who followed him, but went overheard in big way.
 Haywood made speech for Will kie especially for the purpose of distribution among auto workers Thousands of copies of the talk were printed and inserted in of- ficial CIO envelopes for mailing to the locals. But at the last moment Lee Pressman, left-wing CIO gen. eral counsel, became worried that the envelopes might be violation of the CIO constitution, and on his advice the speeches were extracted and plain envelopes substituted

CHURCH.:
And the Reds

President Roosevelt had rammed
himself into hornets nest with his
discussion of Article 124 of the Rus
sian constitution, which gave reli-
gious freedom guarantees to the
people. u oI trh E@' "
Churchmen of several faiths and
congressman took the President to
task and later the President quail
fled his statement or explained it in
the light of hope that movements
now on foot would bring religious
freedom, under the constitution of
Russia to her people.
This put a somewhat new light on
the controversy, and the head of
the Russian Orthodox church came
forward to give the President sup
port and to reveal his opinion that
the days of church repression and
antagonism in Russia were num-
bered.
The people were turning to God"
he said, and the government was
not planning to prevent this upris-
ing of the spirit in the face of the
danger of death in war.
Myron Taylor was back from his
visit to the Pope, and more light on
the subject of religious freedom was
expected from this source. ea

DEATH:

a new Supreme court was meeting

him to retire and severe attack

The old cliche that "there is moth
ing new under the sum- was fairly
routed by the oldest of all wars
when the unrest which had been
boiling for months in countries oc-
cupied by Nazi Germany had be-
gun to flare into strange and more
open warfare.
And it was a queer warfare, with
ultimatums flying back and forth,
and nations in exile passing DEGREES
on conquered peoples with the threat
of death if we ever get back IN
our countries again."
It was no laughing matter, either,
for the era of mass executions had
been reached, with the possibility
in some quarters that Germans
would be slaughtered wholesale, just
as the Nazis were slaughtering vic
TINS in other quarters.
In JugosldUia
Guerilla bands operating in the
Serbian mountain districts, swoop-
ing down by night, had been cap
turing small detachments OF Nazi
soldiers, spiriting them away as cap
tives, until they had amassed some
where between 900 and 1000 men,
whom they were reported holding
prisoners.
Came an ultimatum from gueril-
las to the Nazi occupational officers
to this effect: Continue to shoot
Jugoslav hostages, and we shall
execute our prisoners.
The German answer (requiring the
use of considerable force which
presumably had been taken from
the Russian 'front.' was the report
ed sending of a panzer division OF
$4,000 men and to head it toward
Belgrade, the former capital of for
mer Jugoslavia to deal summary
with these guerilla bands.
In Norway
King Haakon Tin exile in London)
signed a decree providing the death
penalty for crimes against the Nor
wegian state.
A counteFrattack against this
move had come from Josef Ter
bowen, the Reich's commissar in
Norway, who said: accept Ger
many's new order and regard Ger
many's enemies as yours, or face
obliteration as a national state, and
perhaps starvation" ii
This ultimatum was backed up,
it had been reported, by. the fact
that more than 1000 N6rwegians
were in concentration camps, many
of them held as hostages.
The new order" was the Quis-
ling government, against which an
underground and sometimes open
revolt had been going on for two
months or more.
And against this stood Haakon's
decree, held a warning to any
''tools" of the Nazis who might exert
themselves to help the German
authorities that if Norway regains
its freedom they will face the death
penalty. i'g.~ s'- r
In Bulgaria Il.
While not occupied formally or
as result of warfare, Bulgaria
was officially considered to be an
Axis partner, and reports had
emanated from Sofia, in the form of
victory dispatch, that Greek
forces which had swooped over the
borders into Bulgaria with rifles
and machine guns seeking to organ
ize revolt among the Greek citi-

HITLER:
Puzzle

The first formal address by Hit
Ter in 103 days of warfare with Rus
STA rather left the world puzzled
for he claimed total victory over
the Reds at a time when Moscow
was claiming the Leningrad push
stopped, and continued advances in
the center.
Also, the favorable report of the
chancellor on the war situation came
at a time when unrest behind the
lines was assuming the proportions
of front, and at least one whole
division had to be sidetracked to
take care of one small sector of con-
quered territory.
Even more puzzling was his state
ment that he had ordered produc-
ton of war materials restricted, be-
cause the Russians were no longer
able to be menace and that the
war was, in effect Sin the bag"
This was followed up by warn
ing in the Berlin Press to British
and American mission members in
Moscow to get out of the Russian
capital because a head-on attack
upon Moscow was planned. 81
It came at a time when Moscow
itself was informing the British and
Americans that there no longer was
doubt that Russia could hold out
through the winter, but that quanti-
ties of munitions and the machinery
Of war would be needed next spring.
1t was hard to reconcile facts with
speech or speech with facts.

CITY OR COUNTRY?
A KANSAS CITY friend told me
recently that he had bought small
farm within an hours drive of the
city. My friend is, and has been,
city worker. He is the father of
family of children of from to is
years of age. He has been fearful
Of the financial future of America.
The man from whom the farm
was purchased had become enam-
ored of what he considered the OPP
portunities, the conveniences, the
attractions, of the city and wished
the privilege of enjoying these for
himself and his family.
What my Kansas City friend has
purchased is an assurance of health,
shelter, warmth apd food for his
family and for himself. Chickens,
COW, pigs, a garden, a wood lot
from which to cut fuel, provide these
things, if nothing more, and he was
wise to secure place where he
can keep his feet on the ground and
has an insurance against hunger.
At the end of five years, the man
who sold may have realized his ex-
pectation of enjoyment of oppor-
tunity, convenience and attraction
of the city, but the chances are 100
to against him. The vast majority
in any large city evidence more Of
failure than of success.

NEUTRALITY:
Change Expected

Although it was recognized that
President Roosevelt's request for
changes in or repeal of the neu-
trality act would meet with deter
mined opposition in senate and
house, a poll of the chambers
showed definitely that some modifi-
cation, notably that of permitting
arming of American merchant
ships, would receive a congressional
o. K.
This poll had been taken as Sec
rotary of State Hull warned the Axis
powers that American-owned ships
presumably wearing the Panama
Man or other flag, were armed and
had orders to defend themselves.
This statement itself had closely
followed the sinking of a former
American tanker $50 miles east of
Recife, Brazil, with the loss of sew
eral American lives.
The tanker had originally been
American, had been transferred to
the British service, and was operat-
ing under the Panamanian flag with
a crew largely composed of Ameri-
can citizens.
Between IL and 20 such ships had
already been armed, Mr.. Hull said,
and he characterized the sinkings of
these vessels or of those of this
type as German effort at fright
fulness designed to drive us out Of
the Atlantic"
The senate poll showed 20 in IA
vor of repeal or change; 20 opposed
to any change, and most of the rest
undecided, wanting more time to
study, or out Of the city and un-
available for comment.

SPENDING:
viii Triple


$50, 000,O0 a day. Great Britain is
way past that point now, and the
expectation in Washington had been
that within this fiscal year Amer
ica's spending will come to about
two billions month, or about $70,-
100000 day.
That was the figure which U. S.
Budget Director Smith estimated,
and the bill would be "a billions in
the year, with an income Of close
to IL billions from taxes and def
icit of about the same amount.
In this amount was included the
lend-lease aid, but not the direct
purchases by Britain, Russia, China
or other sources. It
The difference between the Amer
lean and British rate of spending,
Smith pointed out, was this-that
two billions a month is about $135
a year for all the citizens of the
nation, whereas Britain's spending
constitutes about 40 per cent of the
national income.
Smith went on to state that con-
sidering better employment condi-
tons and the busy state of the ma
ton, probably more dollars would
be left for civilian use than in pre-
defense years.
