Communist Petition
Signed by Navy Yard
Men, Starnes Says
Fronkford Arsenal
Workers Also Put Names
On List, He Claims
BY JAMES E. CHM.

Acting Chairman Starnes of the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities revealed today that a
Communist election petition in
Philadelphia had been signed by
employees in the navy yard there,
ford Arsenal and other Government
establishments.
The election petition which had
come into possession of the COM
mittee. he declared. reveals some
startling facts" including the I'M
usual degree OF penetration OF the
Communist party into many organ
izations essential to the functions
of this democracy.
I'VE don't know how many signed
the petition under miSapprehension
or mistake"
Eighty-three persons who signed
the petition, Representative Starnes
said, were employees in the Philadel-
phia Navy Yard. Forty others, he
declared, worked at the Frankfort
Arsenal on the outskirts of Phila-
delphia. Then he classified the other
signers as follows:
One hundred and fifty-seven
worked in "other Government posi-
lions, 425 were miscellaneous
workers." ia were connected with
the transportation system in Phila-
delphia, $40 were w. P. A. workers,
were connected with a Philadel-
phia electric company, IL were
school teachers and were news
papermen.
The committee has received COM
plants to the effect that the Com
munist party has placed its members
IN key positions IN certain of four
! trade unions" Mr.. Starnes said,
land that these Communist men,
berS have used and abused this
power to stop national defense pro-
duction through strikes. We know
that honest, God-fearing labor men
are anxious to rid the labor move
ment of subversive elements. We
know that the subversive elements
have produced number of unwar-
ranted strikes which have threat
ened to imperil our defense
program"
Representative Starnes made the
statement as special subcommit-
tee, which he heads, met to take
the testimony of Hugh Ben liner,
an employe in the General Motors
assembly plant at Southgate. Calf,
| and a former president of Local
ZIG of the United Automobile
Workers &C. I. o..
Tells Of Secret Meeting.
Mr.. liner testified he resigned
from the presidency of the union
in April to head the Vigilant
American Committees group
whose objective he said, is to rid
organized labor of "subversive and
racketeering" elements.
The witness told the subcommit-
tee of secret meeting at c. I. O..
headquarters in Los Angeles at
which a proposal was discussed for
a Coast-wide strike. That confer
ence was attended, he said by Hans
Diebel, head of the German
American bund on the West Coast:
Wyndham Mortimer. C. I. o. or
ganizer on the West Coast: Lew
Michener, a C. I. o. representative;
Pettis Perry, whom he identified
as a Negro who last year was a
candidate on the American Com
munist party ticket for a House
seat, and a man he called "Slim"
Connally.

Agency.
Mr.. La Guardia now is setting up
headquarters organization here for
supervision Of a civilian mobilization
effort In which every American is
expected to play part.
AS he left the White House, Mayor
La Guardia told reporters that ap-
proximately $500 offers from indi-
viduals and organizations DESTROYS
of cooperating in the civilian de-
tense program have been received
since the Presidents proclamation
Tuesday night. The volunteers
represent all sections Of the coun-
try, the Mayor said, and are being
asked to stand by until classification

Hull Says U. 5. Policy
Toward japanese
Has Not Changed
Statement Is Reply
To Query if Americas.
Attitude Is Softeninq

Secretary of State Hull said at his
press conference today that this
country has not changed its policy
with regard to Japan.
The Secretary made this observa-
ton in response to a question
whether certain unnamed members
Of Congress were correct in conclud-
ing from the absence of reference
to the Far East in Mr.. Roosevelt's
Tuesday night speech that We were
softening toward Japan.
Some legislators had said earlier
there is a growing belief in admin
istration circles that Japans ad-
herence to the Axis soon may weak
en-, and they cited as evidence Mr.
Roosevelt's virtual omission of any
discussion of Americas problems in
the Pacific.
This belief was said to be based or
information that business interests
apparently were gaining influence ir
the Toxic government and might
eventually prevail over the military
party, which led Japan into the wal
with China and into the Axis
alliance.
Chairman George of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, after
a study of the speech, told reporters
he considered it significant" that
the President did not deal with the
Pacific problems He declined to
elaborate but intimated that some
change in the Far Eastern situa ton
might be in the ofhng.
From other legislators, however,
came reports that the possibility the
japanese might cool toward the Axis
alliance figured in discussions the
President held with congressional
leaders when he gave them a pre-
view" of his speech a few hours
before he went on the radio.

thought Hitler would like to know
was whether patrol vessels had been
ordered to resort to new measures
to protect commerce.
President Roosevelt's statement
that he did not intend to seek a
change in the Neutrality Act, in
formed quarters said, removed the
likelihood of any incident in the
present European or Mediterranean
war zones that might raise the ques-
ton of freedom of the seas for
American merchant shipping.
However, they pointed out, clash
on this issue could take place in the
Red Sea. There is no neutrality
prohibition against American ships
operating in that body of water. but
Germany recently posted the upper
half of this sea as a zone Of unre-
stricted warfare. This zone is not
recognized by the United States.
War Still Is Issue, Taft Says.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
declared in a radio address last
nl8nL tnaC MT Roosevelt mao Sug-
geSted that he may, In dictator
style. take warlike action without
submitting to the people - the
question whether or not we shall go
to war" Senator Taft said the issue
before the Nation still was, "Ohall
we or shall we not enter the war
against Germany?"
A meeting OF some 40 non-inter-
ventionist Senators and Representa-
tives here yesterday brought state
ment saying I'VE are encouraged to
carry on the fight against war be-
cause the President has not yet
been won over to the war party
The statement claimed that the
flreside chat showed that "the voice
of the 80 per cent of the American
people opposed to war had been
heard in Washington"
Senator Vandenberg. Republican,
of Michigan, a foe of the President S
foreign policy, saw nothing in the
speech that greatly altered the
existing national situation, but he
expressed hope that Mr.. Roosevelt
would speed up defense production
regardless of the toes that must be
stepped upon"

York, Being Repaired
AT Suda Bay, Lost,
British Admit
8,25O-Ton Cruiser
Bombed Repeatedly by
Planes, Admiralty Says

DJ Vic hSoOtlhLCd 1000
LONDON, May 29-Britain's
third cruiser loss in the battle for
the island of Crete, destruction of
H. M. s. York, was announced by
the Admiralty today.
The powerful, 8,250-ton warship
had been under repair at Suda Bay,
British naval base on the embattlcd
island, and the Admiralty said she
must now be regarded as a total
loss" after having been bombed
again and again from the air.
Although the York normally car
ried about 600 men, the Admiralty
said it had been informed of only
two deaths and five injured among
her crew.
Thus, the acknowledged price to
Britain's Eastern Mediterranean
fleet for its share in the defense of
the Greek island is raised to three
cruisers and four destroyers sunk,
as we'll at two battleships and sew
eral other cruisers damaged.
In all, the British now have ad-
mitted losing, since the start of the
war, two capital ships-the battle
cruiser Hood and the battleship
Royal Oak-tWo aircraft carriers,
eight cruisers, Is armed merchant
cruisers, At destroyers and 26 sub
marines.
The York's chief weapons were six
8-inch guns and six torpedo tubes
She also carried one warplane. She
was capable of top speed of more
than 80 knots.
Design of the York, by Sir Will
liam Berry, marked the first attempt
by treaty power to break away
from the 10,000-ton cruiser type
Two 8-inch guns were omitted, thus
saving $500 tons, so the York was
little inferior to warships of 10000
tons, all other factors considered.
The York was launched in 1880 by
Queen Elizabeth, then the Duchess
of York, and was the flagship OF
Britain's America and West Indies
squadron before the war. She Wis
tied New York in 1887 and Washing
ton in 1888.
The Germans claimed her as sunk
more than a year ago.
Meanwhile, the Admiralty an.
nounced that the German freighter
Lech, $3.50 tons, trying to run the
British blockade from South Amer
lean port to occupied France, had
pfen intercepted ny a British ship
The British would not say whether
the Lech had been scuttled by her
own crew, sunk by the British or
captured.
Early this month there was a
rumor in New York shipping circles
that the Lech had been intercepted
by British cruiser and scuttled by
her own crew.
The Lech left Rio de Janeiro, Bra
I'll, April %, carrying a cargo of fuel
oil, cottonseed, hides, iron. mica,
coffee and other merchandise.
Capt Friedrich Brinkman had
asked permission to sail for Bergen,
Norway, according to information
available in Rio de Janeiro. The
British said today, however, that
German-occupied France was the
intended destination.
The Lech arrived at Rio de ia
metro March 3 from Bordeaux after
a 3l-oay voyage, the first German
ship to reach Brazil through the
British blockade.
Today's Admiralty communioue
scant on detail, said:
The German freighter Lech, 1926
tons, has been intercepted by one O
his majesty's ships while on he
way from a South American port tt
a port in occIIDied France,
