u. 5. Entry in War
Only Way TO Defeat
Nazis, Bu|Iitt Says
Former Envoy Predicts
Japanese Attack
Before End of Yeor
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 24-Wil-
liam c. Bullitt, former Ambassador
to France, declared yesterday that
"it is a sad thing to say, but the
only way we can defeat Hitler is by
the United States putting all its
resources into this fight and going
TO war"
The war, he said, is now "a race
between the speed with which we
can make our resources effective
and the speed with which Hitler can
make use of the vast resources of
Russia"
Addressing members of the Union
League, stronghold of Republican,
ism, the lifelong Democrat expressed
fear that England might not be
able to repel Nazi invasion and
predicted Japanese attack before
the end of this year, although he
did not say against whom it would
be directed.
Viewpoints Incompatible.
I'VE are caught in a conflict OF
emotions =" Mr. Bullitt declared.
I'VE want to defeat Hitler but we do
not want to go to war. These View-
points are Incompatible
I'VE face our dilemma not be-
cause We had to face it. We have
handled our war preparations over
q period of years so ineffectively
that we are not ready.
The tanks that should be on the
battle lines are not produced and
not even half produced. The only
way we could have kept out of war
was to give such aid to the Allies
that Hitler could not have con-
quered them
Failed to Face Reality.
The former Ambassador declared
he had seen this coming" for years
and had been active in trying to
avert 1t. He said the Government
also has known that war would
come
Il am not accusing the Republi-
sans with responsibility for our not
being ready" he told the gathering.
~I simply say there has been a fall
ure to face reality and it has been
worse among the Republicans, who
have constantly voted against the
kind of action that would keep us
out of war"

PuroIee Who Couldn't Sleep
Admits Blast That Killed Two

Il was sent up from Cadiz. Ohio
to the Ohio State Penitentiary for
stealing $1,000 from a hatchery.
While I was in the pen I met
man by the name of Bancroft, who
said he was from Canton, Ohio. l
was paroled the first of November,
1910, and went to Scranton, Pa,
about November 3. Bancroft told
me he would give me $1,000 to kill
DR.. Rebhorn. He gave me $1,000
then and was to give me $1,000
afterward, but I've never seen him
since.
Il took four sticks of dynamite,
put caps on them and used dry
cell battery and igged it up to the
ignition. Then I put the dynamite
inside the front door of the car and
attached the wire to the front door
and left.
Il knew the doctor had two cars,
but I wired up the family car be-
cause I thought the chances were it
wouldn't get the children"
Mr.. See said that he asked Thorne
why Bancroft wanted DR.. Rebhorn
killed and that Thorne replied:
Bancroft said he had worked in
coal mines in Pennsylvania and that
Rebhorn was the company doctor
He said the doctor had cut him of.
from getting compensation and that
he wanted to get even"

Earlier Story on Page A-1.l

Albert w. Hawkes. of Kearney. N.
j., president of Congoleum- Marin,
Inc, told the labor relations ses-
sions of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States this afternoon
that an understanding by manage
ment and labor of each others prob
lens, rather than a resort to leg
islation, offered the best prospect
of settling defense industrial dis
putes.
Mr.. Hawkes. address. at the
Washington Hotel, took on added
significance because of rumors
among convention delegates that
he may be elected by the Chambers
Board of Directors as the next pres
ldent Of the national organization.
James S. Kemper. president of the
chamber during the last year, an
nounced in opening the convention
Monday that from now on he would
be private in the ranks"
Current strikes. Mr. Hawkes. said.
have been Of alarming proportions.
but legislation banning them is not
the remedy in his opinion.
Voluntary Solution Urged.
IT contend he said, that one
strike, or the loss of one hour in
any industry that is doing work
vital to our defense program. is too
much of loss and a reflection on
the party or parties causing it."
The sins of few capitalists. he
said, were visited upon all capital.
adding public opinion can cause
this to happen to labor"
Characterizing the employe-
employer problem as one of first i'm
portance, Mr.. Hawkes. said that the
national defense program and Amer
ica's future depend on a solution of
the problem through voluntary CO.
operation.
Let no worker or capitalist for

a member of the great society of
American people and that it is the
greatest organization on earth"
Steelman Speaks.
The gathering addressed by Mr..
Hawkes. was one of seven diff
ferent conference meetings scattered
throughout several hotels in the
downtown section.
John r. Steelman, director of
conciliation of the Labor Depart
ment, told the labor relations gath
ering that strikes are unusual trou-
BILE problems in industry" Declar-
ing that there were over 1874 200
manufacturing establishments. each
OF which produces over $1,000 worth
of goods each year. Mr.. Steelman
said that last year less than per
cent of these firms were involved
in any form of work stoppages due
to labor trouble.
