en- q bill calling for, q 30-day
cooling off period before
strikes could occur on naval de-
tense jobs to make it apply to
all defense labor disputes.
The amendment, sponsored by
Chairman Vinson (D-Ga) was
adopted without formal objec-
ton as the committee prepared
to send the legislation to the
house for debate.
Although Secretary KIN o X
gave no delivery figures and
said he could not reveal the
type of materials being furnish
ed, he noted that the Navy had
been allocated 1901. 100000 to
produce supplies for foreign ma
tions under the $1,000, 600, 900
lease-lend bill.
Up to April IA, he told the
senate group, the president had
made ALLEGATIONS of $128, 1868 900
of this amount and the Navy
had requested an additional ap-
portionment of 272,422,000.
Furthermore, he said, almost

CLIO should have sole bargaining
rights.
The petition will also ask that
working conditions In the vari-
Gus departments Of the plant be
remedied. He said he was pro-
curing reports from workers
who know "what ought to be
corrected"
He emphasized that the petit
ton will ask that all workers
not just Cooperative members
be returned to work. The return
of recently discharged employees
should be left to arbitration.
Polio, however, asserted that
a majority of workers are CLIO
members. He declined to state
the actual number of members
in his camp, however.
The union leader asserted that
company bosses" had been busy
signing up workers to the Co.
Operative. He charged the
NLRB would ask the Co-Opera-
tive be dissolved as a company
union"
SOME FOR BOTH
Both Polio and Reese ad-
mitted that some workers were
joining both the COOPERATIVE
and the CIO. Employees described
this action as ian attempt TO play
both ends toward the middle"
At union headquarters on
Broadway today, union leaders
reported that meat markets, gas
stations and grocery stores had
gladly donated meat, gasoline
slips groceries when approached
by the committee"
H. c. Rice, Grand Trunk
trainmaster, and Robert Synder,
local agent for the railroad, con-
ferred with Polio at his hotel
this morning.
REMOVE CARS
They asked permission to
move three cars loaded with
dishes from company property.
In addition, Polio said they
asked that an oil car be allowed
past picket lines.
Polio said the railroad officials
asserted the cars were loaded
with dishes prior to the strike
call and that the plant is desper-
ately in need of oil.
Polio said he would investigate
the railroad officials statements
and, If they were true, would
grant the requests.
o. X. REMOVAL
At 1870 o'clock this after
noon, Polio gave the railroad
company permission to move the
three cars loaded with ware. AS
the cars left for Chicago, the
union leader said "the conces-
sion was made to the railroad
and not to the company"
The oil car was still outside
the gates at 2 p. m.
WORKERS ADMITTED
Pickets said special workers
were admitted to cool the kilns
early this morning. The action
brought q condition workers, de-
scribed as complete shutdown.
CIO workers said the COM
pany's request for % passes to
the plant was refused last night
by pickets. The company had al
ready been granted 30 passes
previously, they asserted.
Meanwhile, all was quiet out

JAP BOMBING
 IS CRITICIZED
Attack on Manila Violated "CiviIized Process"
 Says Macarthur

Washington, Dec. 30.--(UP)-Gen, Douglas MacArthur, commander of the United States Far Eastern forces, today charged the Japanese with violating civilized process in bombing Manila, and threatened re. taliatory measures at the proper times"
 The MacArthur statement was is- sued by the War Department as part of It's communique describing how the Japanese had launched their savage bombing of the Philippine capital after 1t had been declared an open city.
 Macarthur radioed that the Jap- allese had used 63 bomberS in their attack, causing severe damage to civilian installations, including churches, the cathedral, hospitals, convents, business and private dwellings.
 It Is notable that before Manila was declared an open city and be- fore our anti-aircraft defense evac- uated therefore he (the enemy) had abStained from attempted bombing of anything in Manila except mih- tary installations" MacArthur said.
 His present actions can only be deemed completely violative of all the civilized process of ilterna- tioral Jaw. At the proper time I beSpeak due retaliatory measures"
 Ma:Arthur'S promise to pay the Japanese back in kind was iiI the War Department coTnfnunique fol- lowing Q detailed survey of the bombing of the undefended city which the cornrnunique termed "senseiegS and savage"
 Nothing on Fighting
 The communicate, however, made no reference to the current fight ing in the Philippines.
 The department said that churches and other religious centerS were "de- liberately selected" as special tar- gets for the Japanese bofnbers, and that the buildings were of such architecture that tisey could not have been mistaken.
 Before the brutal assaults were DeBlu1 JAphueBe pOluplHk planeS ueW low over the city, obviously Celect- ing the buildings which were sub- sequently bombed" the department sad.
 "1n many of the churches attack ed, devout residentg of Manila had gathered for sanctuary and solace within the haliowed cioisters."
 The comfnunique said that famous churches and shrlnes, including the old santo Domingo church, which houses priceless art treasures and relics, were blasted into heaps of smoking ruins.
 ''The great cathedral of the I'm? maculate Conception was Q special target for Japanese bombs the ccEimunique said. Tt was sought out and attacked on three successive days"
