 Great Britain

New York, Jan. 10-(UP)-The Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies embarked today on new campaign for "all out" aid to Britain under the joint leader ship of Ernest w. Gibson, former Republican senator from Vermont, and Lewis w. Douglas, former di- rector of the budget.
 The committees executive board last night named Gibson national chairman, succeeding William Allen White, Emporia, Kan, editor, who resigned after some members had criticized his "Yanks are not con- ing" statement in which he opposed sending American conveys into the war zone.
 Douglas, president of the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, was named chairman of a national policy board, which will hold regular monthly meetings and will have sovereign" rights in forming policies. It was announced that Douglas and Gibson would have equal rights" GibSon'S job being to work with Clark M. Eichel- berger, national executive director, in carrying out the policies formed by Douglas board.
 White was elected honorary chair man of the national committee and he remains a member of the execu- tive committe, which last night r. aeffirmd its policy statement of last November 26 favoring all possible aid to Britain and the repeal of all laws restricting this aid. The com- r1itte also approved President Roose- velt,s recent fireside chat on de- fenSe and his message to Congress on the state of the nation.

He told the senate merely that it "carries out the president s lend lease plan which has been dis cussed in the press" He asked that it be referred to the foreign rela- tions committee and copy of his formal statement, together with the bill, be printed in the congressional record.
 The veteran Senate isolationist, Hiram w. Johnson, R., Calif, lis tened intently, with his hand held over one ear, as Barkley introduced the measure.
 Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg R., Mich, who has played leading oratorical role in the fight of senate isolationists against President Roosevelt, asked whether both the house and senate committees would meet simultaneously. Barkley re- piled that "that procedure would be desirable"
 In the house, Mccormack walked into the chamber a few minutes be- fore the gavel fell at noon and handed Minority Leader Joseph Martin what appeared to be a copy of the bill.

 The scope of the British attacl on West Germany and the heavy industries of the Ruhr was re- vealed indirectly by the Nazi higl command, which broke preceden by listing a whole series of cite: attacked by British bombers.
 The command listed the cities a. l Cologne, Dusseldorf, GelSenkirch. en, Wesel and Bergheim-all in the congested seat of German heavy in- dustry along the Rhine.

 The Germans admitted that a number of persons were killed in Holland and at least 20 in the Western Germany attacks. Dam- age 'in the industrial area" was admitted to houses, schools, a con- vent and church community house. No military damage was re- vealed by Berlin although it was admitted that a number of "root fires were started.
 London said the attack was one of the heaviest of the war, citing oil plants and storage tanks as a particular objective, especially at Gelsenkrchen, site of large German synthetic oil refineries.
 The German air action over Bri- tain was unusually widespread but not particularly severe at any one point, leading London to suggest that the Tuftwaffe was feeling out British defenses, possibly in prepara- tion for new strong night attacks.
 Among the cities listed by the Germans as attacked were London Manchester, Liverpool, Southamp- ton and Portsmouth.
 Italian Report
 The Italian high command aS- serted today that an Italian plane squadron had bombed British battleship in an attack on a big naval formation in the western Mediterranean and that Italian de- stroyers had sunk two submarines, including the French submarine Narval.
 CThe loss of the Narval had been announced at London by the Free France regime and the British ad- miralty had reported the loss of its submarine regulus)

 England Attacked
 German planes attacked England in some of the most widespread raids of the war last night. Ali circles believed they were testing British defenses preliminary tC simultaneous mass attacks on indus trial centers.
 Varying their "concented attack, technique the planes bombed al least IS cities and town. Taking ad- vantage of bright moonlight, the attacks were made over a 300 mile area.
 (Radio Berlin was heard report ing that Manchester was attacked heavily and great fires were caused The radio said also that attacks weer made on London, Liverpool and other towns)
 Air circles believed that the Ger mans were about to launch de- termined effort to break the British war effort by air assault.
 More anti-ailrcraft guns were in action last night than for many weeks. Some blazed without letup for hours. Night fighters were report ed more active than ever before patroling the skies in search Of raiders.
 In one London district, the raid- 1 CTS dropped 400 incendiary bombs and numerous high explosives. Numerous fires were started but the recently formed fire bombs squads were able, in many cases, to con- trol the flames even before arrival of firemen. . | Fifty small fires were started In the area under the jurisdiction ot 4 the London county council but they were extinguished quickly.
 Attacks centered on Liverpool and other northwest towns but the German planes, usually flying sing !! Iy. attacked towns in many areas for seven hours before, as if at a signal, they turned homeward early today.
 Some Damage Done The air and home security min fstries said that houses and shops were damaged and a number of abortive fires started but that casualties were few.

Shipbuilding To Require
100000 More Workers

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Three
hundred thousand additional workers
must be trained and put on the job by
next November, for full production of
the ships included in the Navy and
merchant marine building programs,
it is estimated by Fred w. Erhard, ma
tional shipbuilding coordinator He has
just completed survey of shipyard
building requirements for the Depart
ment of Labor and Office of Production
Management.
This program will increase by rs
per cent the number of workers now
employed in shipbuilding, Erhard says.

SENATE EXPECTED
TOREJECT DRASTIC
ANTI-STRIKE BILL

Washington, D. G. (ILNS). - The
drastic Smith anti-strike bill, forced
through the House in an atmosphere
of hysteria induced largely by the cap
tive coal mines strike, is not expected
to be approved by the Senate.
The bill, sponsored by the anti-union
Representative, Howard w. Smith of
Virginia, was passed by vote of 252

closed-shop rule
But at what price, to himself, and
to our labor movement

long time to come
Hereafter: Company 'front.'; Fright

Attention"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1941-12-19

among Senate Labor Committee mem
bers was that the bill was "too drastic
and would not be approved. 1t is ex-
pected the committee will report
milder mediation measure, which will
probably not come up until early in
1912, when Congress reassembles
after the Forthcoming Christmas hol-
iday.
Tobin Sees Bills Defeat
William Green of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor was not in Washing
ton. One of the labor executives avail
able for comment was Daniel j. Tobln,
president of the International Broth
erhood of Teamsters, who expressed
the opinion that the Smith bill "would
never be approved by the Senate"
Tobin said that passage of the Smith
measure should be warning to or
ganized labor to clean its own house
of crooks and Communists" and said
it was "such things as the ill-timed
strike in the captive coal mines which
brought on this drastic reaction"
The Transfers head also said that
too drastic anti-labor laws might force
the rank and file of workers away from
conservative leadership and make them
follow the radicals.
Mass Picketing Banned
Provisions of the Smith bill include:
l. Prohibit mass picketing in de-
fense labor disputes.
2. Prohibit strikes on union organ
national issues, such as the closed
shop and jurisdictional disputes.
8. Prohibit strikes not sanctioned
by majority of workers at the plant
involved, voting secretly under gov
ernment supervision.
q. Require labor unions to register
with the government, furnishing data
on officials, members and dues.
5. Establish a statutory mediation
system under which strikes could be
prohibited during a 60-day coolingoff
period.
6. Deprive unions of Wagner Act
benefits for knowingly or negligently"
permitting Communists, Nazi Bund-
lists, or felons to hold office.
Violations of any but the mediation
provisions would deprive unions of
Wagner Act benefits and make them
liable to court injunctions. Individual
union members would lose collective
bargaining rights and could not apply
for WPA jobs.

Bedtime Stories

Jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun was
going to bed behind the Purple Hills,
and the black Shadows had begun
to creep all through the Green
Forest and out across the Green
Meadows. 1t was the hour of the
day Peter Rabbit loved best. He
sat on the edge of the Green Forest,
watching for the first little star to
twinkle high up in the sky. Peter
felt at peace with all the Great
World, for it was the hour OF rest
for those VINO had been ousy all
through the shining day Most OF
Peters feathered friends had settled
themselves for the coming night,
the worries and cares over and for
gotten. All the Great World seemed
hushed.
In the distance Sweetvoice the
Vesper Sparrow was pouring out his
evening song, for 1t was the hour
when he dearly loved to sing. Far
back in the Green Forest Whip
poor-will was calling as If his very
life depended on the number of
times he could say "Whip-po will"
without taking breath. From
overhead now and then came the
sharp, rather harsh, cry of Boomer
the Nighthawk as he hunted his
supper in the air.
For a time it seemed as if these
were the only feathered friends
still awake, and Peter couldn't help
thinking that those who went so
early to bed missed the most beauti-
full hour in the whole day. Then,
from tree just back of him, there
poured forth a song so clear, so
sweet, SO wonderfully suited to that
peaceful hour that Peter held his
breath until it was finished. He
knew that singer and loved him.
1t was Melody the Wood Thrush.
When the song ended, Peter
hoped over to the tree from
which it had come. 1t was still
light enough for him to see the
sweet singer. He sat on a branch
near the top, bis head thrown back
and his soft, full throat throbbing
with the flute-like notes he was
pouring forth. He was a little
smaller than Welcome Robin. His
coat was a beautiful reddish brown,
not quite so bright as that OF
Brownie the Thrasher. Beneath he
was white, with large, round, black
spots thickly dotting his breast and
sides. He was singing as If he were
trying to put into those beautiful
notes all the Joy Of life. Listening
to it, Peter felt steal over him a
wonderful feeling of peace and pure
happiness. Not for the world would
he ever have interrupted it.
The Black Shadows crept far
across the Green Meadows, and it
became so duSky in the Green Forest
that Peter could barely make out
the sweet singer above his head.
Still Melody sang on and the hush
of eventide grew deeper as If all the
Great World were holding it's breath
to listen. Peter felt sure that some
where near was a nest, and that
one thing which made that song
so beautiful was the love Melody
was trying to express to the little
mate sitting on the eggs that nest
must contain.
