WILL HITLER WIN IN CALIFORNIA?

If Hitler himself had set out to cripple Ameri- can defense production at vital spot in critical hour he couldn't have done better than the few so- called labor leaders who called and have prolonged to "A days the strike at Il Pacific Coast shipyards
 In the headlines we read this sad story Britain lists 1443 ships as lost in war; total 6,000000 tons and the American reaction Work rushed on seized ships to offset losses by Britain U. S. yards work ing 24 hours a day" Then-"Strike ties up II ship yards"
 Whatever may be said of the wisdom or folly of previous strikes in defense industries-and many have had justfication-not smeled of sabotage. This strike does. It is a strike-of both AFL and CIO machinists-caed the opposition of John P Frey, president of the AFL Metal Trades De- partment
 It is strike in violation of a pledge not to strike That pledge was given in the master agree ment between labor and industry which covered the entire West Coast shipbuding and specified: There shall be no lockouts the part of em- ployers suspension of work on the part of em- ployees" It is strike which does not involve any unfair labor practices by the shipbuildng concerns Instead, the strikers want an increase in wages, which already are substantial Machiniss have been paid $1 an hour with time and half for overtime. They have demanded $115 an hour, with double pay for overtime. They have been offered SLIP an hour with time and a half for overtime. So this strike 
 are serving for $2l a month, is strike over just three cents an hour in pay plus $23O an hour for overtime
 We agree with Secretary of the Navy Knox, who declared that this is mot much strike against the shpbuiders it is strike against coun- try's program of national defense
 The American public has always been resent ful of jurisdictional disputes which result in the cessation of work It will be particularly at such time as this, when it is convinced that defense production is the first consideration and that it is

A Wise PrecautiOn
Cincinnati Enquirer)

The action of Justice Department and immigra- ton agents in rounding up aliens known to be in this country illegally is eminently wise precau- tion
 The Alien Registration Act adopted at the last session of Congress gave the nation it's first means of checkup on aliens residing in the nation, num- bering several millions. This was intended not as means of marrying prosecuting the foregn-born element of the population but rather to provide the United States with much needed information world affairs considered regarding the strangers within our gates.
 The new roundup of aliens is something quite apart from the alien registration last year. It is aimed primarily at the aliens who dodged the Regis tration Act not the foreigners who have business here or have come here to establish themselves as useful citizens of the United States but rather the ones who have business or right to be here. Most of the Axis seamen who have overstayed their legal leave in this country are in this category.
 The Justice and immigration agents acted in the light of the fact that aliens here illegally, while n- cluding many innocent of any intent to abuse the nations hospitality, comprise in the main group which is already dangerous and may become more so as the progresses What is taking place shows that Federal authorities are awake to the dangers, and are determined to see to it that no foreign fifth column will have a free hand in America

maps of the Navy Department before he made his broadcast.
 Another vital point he studied was not mentioned in his broadcast; be- cause no one is talking publicly about the fact that the British may have to withdraw from Gibraltar, even from the Mediterranean alto- gether. But in case of such with drawal, glance at the map will show that these three sets of islands the Azores, Canaries and Cape verdes-could help to replace Gib- raltar.
 They sit astride the entrance to the Mediterranean, and long range bombing planes based on those islands could make it hot for any expeditionary force heading out of the Mediterranean for the Americas
 All of these are reasons why you can expect vital action regarding the Atlantic islands.

AZORES AND CANARIEs

Now if you transpose the map of the Pacific onto the map of the Atlantic, you will also get an idea of why Roosevelt bore down so heav- fly on the importance of the Azores, the Canary and Cape Verde islands in his fireside chat. For the Azores are the Hawaii of the mid Atlantic, while the Canaries and Cape Verdes might be compared to the Aleutions in reverse position
 Whoever holds tn e SC stepping stones across the Atlantic can sweep that ocean with naval patrol planes and bombers, just as the U. s. fleet can sweep the Pacific from Hawaii and the Aleutians.
 If we hold these Atlantic islands, then we hold the gateway to the Atlantic. If Hitler holds them, he controls the first. step toward Brazil and the rest of the way is easy. These were some of the things Roosevelt studied on the large-scale

 Key to the plan is Hawaii and the Aleutian Islands. The admirals are reasonably confident that long dis tance patrol planes ranging out from Hawaii in the mid Pacific and from the Aleutians in the north Pacific would be sufficient to spot any Japanese ship approaching Am erican waters. And air torpedoes of the type which crippled the Bis marck could do the rest. In fact, the entire Bismarck incident has been a striking demonstration that long distance bombers plus island bases have revolutionized warfare in both oceans.

 Glazed onions will please the family and also help keep them healthy. Tn fact, Its a good rule to get a little onion in almost every dish you can to increase the flavor and add valuable nutrients.
 GLAZED ONIONS
 (Six Servings)
 Three cups medium sized silver skinned onions, 4 tablespoons but ter, 3 tablespoons sugar.
 Cook onions In boiling water for about 25 minutes or until partially cooked. Drain and dry on paper towels or cheese cloth. Melt butter, add sugar and onions. Cook over low heat, shaking atintervals to keep onions from sticking. Serve hot when glazed.
 Try serving orange custard for dessert. Be SURE 1t Is very cold when you serve It and you'll find at to be almost as popular as ice cream with the children Here again we have a healthy combination of milk, eggs and citrus fruits.

The rumor that there are more defense jobs than workers to fill them Is based on fact.
 If you have one of the shortage skills" - riveting, welding, lathe work, radio service, to name just few-your chance of getting 6 job Is good; and if you haven't, the government may train you free of charge through one of its nearby agencies.
 The government is running @ tre- mendous "pre-employment" train ing program in the shortage skills, day and night. If you are 17 to 25 years old, citizen and physically fit, you are eligible for any of these 6-week courses.
 Colleges also are cooperating by giving badly needed Six-to-twelve- week engineering courses.
 Women, meanwhile, are finding plenty of defense opportunities in clerical work and nursing; but more and more firms are hiring women to i'll mems jobs where a shortage was created by the draft. Some women even do light mechanical work in defense plants.

 Now wonder (continues B. !. B. why one of the doctors l can- suited didn't try to increase my calcium intake. Especially as told each of them who spoke Of diet that I do not drink milk.

To me milk Is an repugnant as castor oil, but I do eat some cheese. am fond of the other high calcium foods mentioned in your pamphlet.
 Two other things l have noticed since I began supplementing my diet with calcium and vitamin D.. My nails have improved in appear ance and no longer seem so brittle. And whereas before was con- stantly losing filings, now I have no further trouble in that way.
 (B. I. B.
 Sinusitis or persistent symptoms presumably due to chronic sinus trouble may clear up or become much less troublesome after a few weeks of increased calcium intake, whether by including in the diet more adequate proportions of the calcium-rish foods and the vitamin D foods or by supplementing the ordinary diet with vitamin D and calcium glueconate or dicalcium phosphate.

Contract Depends Upon BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

In 1889, when the national tour nament was held in Pittsburgh, the committee created the idea of or. ganizing teams-of-four from dif- ferent industrial firms in Pittsburgh to participate in the nationals. John R. Chappell, Jr., is chairman of the industrial tean-of-four contest for the Richmond, Va., nationals the week beginning Dec. 1.
 He believes the firms in Richmond will get quite a thrill out of organ izing teams among their employees and expects at least 20 firms to enter teams in the contest. All of thece teams will be competing for the national team-of-four cham pionship, and in addition, there will be an event for the industrial team championship.
 In a team-of -four contest, your team must have North-Soutn pair and an East-West pair, so that each team plays each board in both directions. The North-Sou pair Of Team A plays the hands against the East-West pair. of Team B, while the North-S South pair of Team B plays the same hands against the East-west pair of Team A. The team with the net plus score wins the match.
 Today's hand is an example of one taken from Q team-of-four match. The bidding was the same ct both tables, but the results were very different. At the first table, South won the opening lead and started the clubs. West bravely played low and East took the club ace, returning his other spade.
