2Labor Disputes
In Spotlight Of
Defense Efforts
BY UNITED PRESS

Two labor disputes Tuesday held
the attention of defense officials
seeking to prevent delays in defense
production.
At Alton, H., AFL chemical work.
ers awaited action by the National
Defense Mediation Board after un-
successful negotiations with Off
cials of the Western Cartridge COM
pany, which had recognized the
union at the boards request. The
union referred the dispute back to
the board and asked the government
to seize the plant. A walkout was
scheduled for July II.
At Cleveland, Federal Conciliator
Thomas Neblett was seeking to avert
strike set for Wednesday at the
White Motor company, which holds
$70,000,000 in army orders. The
United Automobile Workers (CIO)
authorized the strike to strengthen
demands for a wage increase. The
company denied that rising living
costs warranted q higher scale
than that provided in an existing
contract.

Axis Sees Seizure
As War Move

ROME, July 8. (UP)-ResponSible
Italian quarters today termed Unit
ed States occupation of Iceland an
actual intervention" in European
waters and said it probably would
result in Axis-American incidents
because it would not cause the Axis
to relax its blockade of the British
Isles.
The purpose of the occupation,
they asserted, was to create a vast
zone in which vessels carrying sup
plies for Britain could navigate
safely and, in effect, amounted to
actual conveying since it would
bring the United States navy into
the German blockade area.
The "so-called" American safety
belt. they observed, started as a 300
mile zone and then expanded to
1850 miles, although this was con-
trary to all concepts of international
law"
The occupation, they declared, will
not be considered as another extern
sion OF the safety belt. but rather
as actual intervention in Euro
pean waters"
This is the first time the United
States actually has occupied terri
tory regarded as being part of Eu-
rope, these quarters said, and brings
the United States closer to conflict
with the Axis powers than ever be-
fore.

10000 English
For Army Service

LONDON. July 8. tUP)-Ameri-
can occupation of Iceland will even
tually relieve approximately $4,000
British Imperial troops. including
many Canadians. who had held the
island against the possibility of d
German attack, it was understood
today
1t was understood that the Brit
ish troops would be withdrawn grad
uallr for service in other areas.
Unofficial commentators pointed
out that the move took American
forces within 600 miles of the Ger
man occupied Norway coast and that
lease lend material sent from the
United States via Iceland might
now go three-fourths of the way
through American-protected waters.
The move was expected to relieve
many British warshipS for service
closer home.
In the minds of many Britons
was the idea that the British I'M
perial troops refsved in Iceland
would join those here who may at
some time be needed for an expe-
dition TO the continent of Europe.
1t was pointed out that American
fighter planes might now fly to
Britain via Newfoundland, Green
land and Iceland instead of comig
here by ship.

The break was closed in IL hours.
Because of the break, Snyder said,
it was necessary to lower the water
level in the East Highline canal.
Water was down to approximately
half capacity all night and service
was interrupted for approximately
II hours.
Clear water caused the canal bot
tom to drop, resulting in water Seep-

congressional source said today.
United States naval forces were
gradually supplanting a British gar
rison defending the independent is
land republic which is $50 miles
from Greenland, 800 miles from the
Norwegian wing Of Germany's war
front. and $500 miles from New
York. It was a partial fulfillment
Of President Roosevelt's fears that
all the Atlantic outpostS of the
western hemisphere, including the
Azores and the Cape Verde islands,
would have to be taken over as de-
fensive measures.
The report OF German plans said
to have reached MI. Roosevelt said
also that the Germans planned an
other strong base al Dakar, French
West Africa. and from It and Ice
land hoped to sink or capture so
per cent of the Atlantic shipping
en- route to Egypt and the British
Isles.
There was no indication here, nor
is it believed likely that the United
States would attempt to put a pro-
tective force at Dakar
One reason advanced by Mr..
Roosevelt for taking over in Ice
land was that German occupation
of the island would be a threat
against the steady flow of NUM-
tions to Great Britain-which is
a matter of broad policy clearly
approved by congress"
