featuring Company were termi-
mated today because of the
mpany's unwillingness TO

sentatives Of the union felt were
Of great Importance to their
memberships.
REASONS ASSIGNED
specifically, we accepted the
company's proposal regarding
wages and a bonus, but refused
10 extend the existing agreement
beyond Its present termination
date. December :, l94D we
felt our present grievance pro-
cedure could be improved and
refused to freeze the wages OF
our membership because we felt
we did not wish to gamble with
the economic future of our
people I'm the light of present
day unstable conditions.

been called for Sunday, June 3
at Cass Tech Auditorium Mt 2
p. IN. to discuss the entire matter
and take a strike vote II neces-

No Time for Praise
(NeW York Times)

One would, if one could, keep silence with bowed and uncovered head before the tragedy and valor Of Greece. There no words worthy of this little people, million strong, living in rough and arid land who broke the armies of Italy and with stood for splendid moment the tanks, the airplanes ne artillery and the overwhelming numbers of Nazi Germany.
 Nor are words any longer important. Britain ent the Greeks planes fers and, at the last, an army as brave as her own. We sent our best wishes md few dollars for the wounded and the sick We cannot send them anything that will save them The little was, as it has been during nearly two years of fatal war too late.
 The barbarians come again, worthless for any trade but war incompetent in any act but destruc- ion. They are unfit to tread the dust where Socrates Plato and Aristotle walked where Sopho- les and Euripdes exalted the human soul where -hidias carved beauty into marble, where Demos .henes cried out for freedom, where men listened in gonder to the surge and thunder of the Odyssey v Nevertheless they are there.
 Self-reproach cannot help us now, any more han praise can help or hurt the Greeks. AS we told at strange public meeting in this city ast night we did not begin this war. We did not want it. We merely rejected, over long and weary years almost all responsibility for world organiza- ion which might have prevented it. We merely irew into shelters and spoke-as some of us still speak-of isolation. Isolationl There is isoa- ton in cemeteries and in dead cities, not in this living tortured world.
 France fell. The crash shook the skyscrapers of Manhattan and bowed down the corn, as no wind could, on the Kansas prairies One by one, by treachery or violence by the two combined, the little nations have fallen. Greece goes down in immortal glory that will be remembered as long as Marathon and Thermopylae, but she has fallen, too If Britain falls shall we, isolated in good earnest shen, despised well, standing on the inert de- fensive behind our Maginot Line of sea, remain ex- empt from the fate we have invited?
 The free world now, can out-produce. out wit and outright the Nazis That part of 1t which was once free and is free no more has been over run because it has been first cut up by the Panzer divisions of the Hitler strategy-even more by its own fears and indecisions Strength is on the side of freedom still, if we but will it.
 Shall we stop to praise Greece, choosing our words carefully, making them beautiful and fitting? There is not time Let pay tribute to the Greeks, to all brave soldiers to all courageous civilians from the Aegean to the British Channel, in decisive acts

 He doesn't think tour through the museum of art or brisk walk do much to combat temptation. h. stead he'd like to see every town near a camp organize an honest to-goodness information bureau for the men. f4
 If the boys want to go to a dance, get a date. visit with some patriotic family, or see ball game the community ought to arrange it for them," contends McCloskey.
 He beams when he mentions the 200 girls at the Tom Huston pea nut factory at Columbus, Ga, who volunteered to act as hostesses for soldiers at dances and social events So far as he's concerned, that will do more for morals and morale than all the dry, desiccated lectures well-meaning folks arrange for the dear boys"

ESCAPE FROM GERMANY

No author of fiction would dare to stretch his readers credulty to the point to which an actual event of the past few days has taken us
 Nazi Deputy Rudolf Hesss escape to the enemy is one of the amazing episodes of the war and pos sibly highly important development The bury Nazi batter for National Socialism from the days of the Beerhall Putsch, designated by Hitler himself as the No 3 Naz standing only below the Fuehrer and Reischmarshal Goering in the hier- archy. His capture by the British is comparable to the situation which would result should Cor dell Hull give himself up to an enemy in wartime though the U. S. Secretary of State is an entirely different stamp of man.
 If this had been an ordinary escape of a man fearing for his life Hess would have piloted his plane to Switzerland Portugal. That he flew it instead right into the jaws of Germany's mortal enemy is an indication of developments at which We can only guess as yet.
 Berlin contenGs that Hess deranged and left a letter clearly indicating" mental disorder But Germany has not announced the contents of the let ter and one must be permitted to wonder whether the rest of the world would read insanity in it. In
 sense of course, all Nazis are mental cases, Hitler no less than Hess Else they could not pursue the philosophy they do nor plunge the world into the blood path for which this little clique of power mad men is responsible.
 The British hope to learn valuable military and industrial secrets from their prisoner. Something even more valuable they have already learned-that the German people beginning to crack up under the strain of ten years of terror.
 Ii those at the top are impelled to flee from the nightmare of Nazi Germany, how many millions of those below would not give their lives for the to get away from repression and iron discipline?
 Hess's defection, someone has said, might prove to be the turning point of the war. We wait anxiously for further details.

 More than 5O,00O volunteers, for esters and eco boys pitched into firefighting on the eastern coast during the battle with forest flames. Many of them were skilled at their business-but handicapped by lack of equipment, or direction. Oddly enough, one of the great de- ficiencies that showed up was in short-wave radio stations, where operators could direct activities and see that needed reserves were thrown into the fight where th- smoke was thickest. The Forest Services hasn't figured this out yet, but it may be the result of curtan- ment of ham" radio operators as result of the national defense pro- gram.

Adverse planetary aspects rue today. It may be time of ming illustrations or disappointments. Labor may be difficult to direct There is likely to be apprehensidn regarding the expansion of war. $
 Heart and Home: Unrest ara discontent may be prevalent under this configlration which is dlStur1< ing in it's influences. Women of al ages now should concentrate upon practical interests. While the dof nestle arts are cultivated at homs, girls should seek service in defensf industries where the stars foreca& the need of expert hands and well- trained minds. The wise will avoid defeatist ideas and will stress the certainty of victory for democracy.
 Business Affairs Civic problems will multiply with the speedy growth of small communities into sizable cities. Large fortunes will be made in real estate, despite gov ernment efforts to prevent proft- teering. Competition among ambiti- ous centers of population will fe keen as millions in public funef are distributed to all parts of9tFfe country. Advertising campaigns will flourish, especially in the W%t
 National Issues: Sensational reye- lations regarding fifth column dc- tivities will alarm citizens of the United States who are U4teu against the harboring sof fop4sh suspicious: Loyalty among natdfAl- ized persons of many lands will be demonstrated in generous saids For national defense. Speculation xill tempt native Americans to make the most of great emergencies. The seers warn that dangers turk among those who wear the mask of inherited patriotism.
 International Affairs: Astrologers who foretell the collapse of Hitlers power within two years read m the stars portents of the Fuehrer's death either by suicide or assas- sination.

No Car for Governor
Seattle TineS)

Somewhere in the mudded archives at the na- tions capital there may be record of the number of official automobiles furnished for free use of officers and employees of Federal government Or there may be too many of them to keep count Of, for their number is legion. They are in use not only in and around Washington, D. o. but through out the land wherever Federal offices and agencies planted.
 It is, indeed, but the least and most humble or these so-called servants of the people who must pro- vide his own means of transportation; and even he may turn in his gas and repair bills for government liquidation.
 But the Governor of the great Territory of AL aska has official car; and in a sudden spasm Of thrift the House Appropriations Committee denies him money to buy one. Governor Gruenng had been modest his friendly boss Secretary Ickes, had asked only $1 250 to put him on wheels.
 But though the House committee no longer fal- ters at billion dollar appropriations for this and that, it refused to why the Governor shouldn't cover his territory on foot.
