To slash shipping weight, eggs will

Registrars Schooled in Duties.
AS one of the last preparatory
moves the so woman registrars who
will represent the Central Volunteer
Bureau at each of the registration
places during the three days they
are open, were assigned to their
individual locations. For the last
three weeks these volunteers have
studied the routine to be followed
in registering people and will be
prepared to answer any questions
which may arise among the dozen
or other workers who will be on
duty at each school, Mrs. Bernton
said.
Additional instruction was given
yesterday to the women who have
volunteered to keep the card filing
system on registrants in order at
the Central Volunteer Bureau so
that the Defense Council can tap
its defense reservoir of workers at
a moments notice. Those who at
tended the class were Mrs. Eugene
Sugg, Mrs. Charles Suppler of Sill

Mrs. Edward B. Sonneborn, Mrs. E.

Wants Record Ready.
Mrs. Bernton said yesterday she
was confident the public would
answer the call for defense aid. She
has asked all persons who can spare
the time, whether a resident of the
District or the nearby area, to regis
ter, and urged that persons who
plan soon tc go away on vacations
also fill out blanks.
We don't know how soon we will
call on volunteers for aid" she ex-
planned, but we want as quickly as
possible to compile the list of DO
tential workers so that we will have
the record at hand to draw upon
when needed"
Several civic and political orgeni-
cations have indicated they plan to
register their members in a group,
and 1t was revealed yesterday that
the Committee on Volunteer Serv-
ice had received a request from one
Federal department to send regis
trars to enroll its 10000 employees in
body.
SkillS to Be Recorded.
Applicants will be given their
choice of services, but they will be
asked to list their individual skills
and talents along with their prefer
ence. This will be done, it was ex-
planned, so the council will know
just what aid it can expect in case
of emergency.
Each person selected for place.
ment will be called before trained
volunteer personnel for interviews.
Placements will be made after care
ful study and will be conducted
through the Central Volunteer Bu-
reau as a central agency.
AS the registration proceeds this
week, each registrant will be given
red, white and blue button, bear
ing the words volunteer for de-
fense," to mark him as a volunteer.
He also will receive a card telling
him that he will be contacted as
soon as needed and that your CO.
opration today has confirmed our
belief that Washington can meet
any emergency"

said several hundred pickets were on
duty outside the lines, but no pickets
were permitted within a mile radius
of the plant.
Pickets shouted at workers driv-
ing toward the plant not to go in
and handed out bulletins inviting
them to the union meeting.
1T is vital to the future of every
North American worker to attend

The back to-work movement is a

Col. Steinmetz said an Army
finance officer would be sent here to
take charge of all financial matters.
Soldier guards were promised for
nearby residential districts, where
most of the II 500 workers live. Po-
lice radio cars patrolled an even
larger area.

said some planes would be ready

workers an invitation to resume
work.

and protection while they are on
the job, while they are proceeding
to and from work or while they are
in their homes" he said.
Earlier, he had conferred with
C. l. o. leaders, who reported Col.
Branshaw was not prepared to dis
cuss our demands"
The U. A. w. demands that the
basic hourly wage at North Ameri-

Thursday morning while the dispute
was still before the Mediation Board

Jackson Describes
North American Case
As lnsurrection
Attorney General Attacks
Labor Leaders Who Follow
Communist Party Line
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Attorney General Jackson, attrib-
uting defiance of the Government in
the North American Aviation strike
to labor leaders who follow the
Communist party line" declared
yesterday that the situation more
nearly resembles an insurrection
than a labor strike"
Mr.. Jackson made this assertion
In a statement in which he said the
Presidents authority TO take over
the plant rests upon the aggregate
of the presidential powers derived
from the Constitution. itself. and
from statutes enacted by the Con-
gress."
Presidents Duties Discussed.
"The constitution lays upon the
President the duty to take care that
the laws be faithfully executed" Mr.
Jackson said. Among the laws
which he is required to rinu means
to execute are those which direct
him to equip an enlarged Army, to
provide for strengthened Navy,
to protect Government property, to
protect those who are engaged in
carrying out the business of the
Government, and to carry out the
provisions of the Lease ?Lend Act.
For the faithful execution of such
laws the President has back of him
not only each general law enforce
ment power conferred by the various
acts of Congress, but the aggregate
of all such Jaws plus that wide dis
cretion as to'method vested in him
by the Constitution for the purpose
of executing the laws.
The Constitution also places on
the President the responsibility and
vests in him the powers of Com
mander in Chief of the Army and
of the. Navy. These weapons for the
protection of the continued existence
Of the Nation are placed in his sole
command and the implication is
clear that he should not allow them
to become paralyzed by failure to
obtain supplies for which Congress
has appropriated the money and
which it has directed the President
to obtain.
Proclamation Quoted.
"The situation at the North Amer
lean plant more nearly resembles an
inSurrection than a labor strike
The Presidents proclamation recites
the persistent defiance of govern
mental efforts to mediate any legiti-
mate labor differences. The distinc-
ton between loyal labor leaders and
those who are following the Com
nunist party line is easy to observe.
LOYAL labor leaders fight for settle
ment of labor grievances. Disloyal
men who have wormed their way
into the labor movement do not want
settlements; they want strikes. That
is the Communist party line which
those who have defied both the
Government and their own loyal
leaders to prevent a settlement of
the strike have followed. There can
be no doubt that the duty constitu-
tionally and inherently rested upon
the President to exert his civil and
military, as we'll as his moral author
ity to keep the defense effort of the
United States going concern"

Have Patience!
By RUTH TAYLOR

"WAIT ON THE LORD and he will save thee"
Patience of the most difficult of virtues to
qure its lesson has been learned it is the most
satisfying To be patient is to have self control plus
faithto know that in the last analysis, al things work
to good for them that love God'
Think of those whom you admire most, and you will
this quality stands 1t patience and the
ability to wait that enabled Washington hold out long
after daring of his colleagues felt the
game was up 1t patience and the ability to wait that
carried Lincoln through the darkest hours of the Civil War
And has it been from time mmemOrlalWlth little peo
pie well great-With unSung heroes as we as with
those renowned i'll song and story.
But patience does Just sitting down to wait
To wait patiently requires constructive action 1t means
careful consideration of the end wsh and the taxing
of every step bring that end about with due regard nor
others. It doing your duty day in and day out work
ing honestly and sincerely daily tasks and lifting
yourself bodily mentally for the day when your ship
comes in When that has been done it means waiting pa
tiently and cheerfully and working while you wait
And this applies not only to the Individual but to all
broups within the nation and to the nation itself Inc
changes the reforms all want to made require pa
tence and waiting while actively trying to bring
them about.
There are many sincere reormers who vocterousY

cry "Anythng is better than what we have"
But this is not the American way. Reform means to
remake to reshape-no break In mpatience we too
often feel that reform situation must change It com

We reform country into the Utopia OF winch we
dream we will work together and utilize the thought and

ABOUT Face!

Where would We be but for the
lighting leadership that has
brought us through so far-and
only to the place where we really
ought to have been IL months ago
at the latest? Some day our pos
ter1ty may record that we really
should have gone to war in Sept :,
1899, when England and France
declared war, and so, perhaps,
nave kept France from falling in
to the traps of its traitors.
But for about-facing, the Amer
lean Communists get the lst prize:
They were dead set against Hitler
down to the Russo-German non
aggression treaty; they were dead
set against England, and all Eng
lands friends, including their own
United States, as long as that
false treaty stood; now, they are
dead set against Hitler again,
since he has thrown off the mask
and attacked Stain and Russia.
Perhaps the American Communist
will now even stop sabotaging
American defense efforts and in
dustry, since this last about-face.
What next? In the name OF GOD,
what next? But the best of us Will
go steadily Forward

By WILLIAM PICKENS
FOR AMP

ONLY CHURCHILL an d
Roosevelt seem to have gone
steadily forward, in the same di-
rection, for the last eight years
or so. Even Hitler has done sew
eral abCut-face turns: anti-Com-
munlst, then pro-Communist, then
anti, again. And Mussolini, the
poor little Humpty-Dunlpty, has
been trying to keep pace and face
with Herr Hitler fol the last year
or two.
The British Empire and che
United States, by the bulldog ma
lures of their leaders, have .p5
pretty steadily forward in the
same general direction. Roose-
velt's crowd has given him more
troublous opposition than has
Churchills - because Churchil's
people were right under the fall
ing bombs, while the blessed
American isolaticnist, beng a few
miles removed, with small
stretch of water between, has
tried to wish himself into security,
without action and without even
any adequate military prepara-
ton.
JUST SUPPOSE
Think of what plight this
America would be in now if it
had gone with the Borahs and
the Lindberghs instead of with
Roosevelt. Just suppose:
That we had not repealed the
foolish arms embargo act That
we had not decided to enlarge
our navy, a two-ocean navy as
fast as possible. That we had ac-
quiesced in Hitler's plans to take
Europe and Africa and the Brit
ish fleet, and the commerce of all
the seas.
That we had not traded the
British some ships for some west
ern hemisphere naval bases. That
we had not sought unity, as
much unity as possible, among
the nations of the Americas. That
we had not served notice, early,
that nobody, except the British,
shall invade Canada except over
our dead bodies,-even if Canada
is in the war. A position not de-
fensible in logic but very defen-
sible in commonsense. E,
That we had held to our clum
sy cash-and-carry law, and so
helped to strangle or starve the
British, our most competent nat
ural allies. That we had not pass
ed our conscription law and uni
versal military training act.
SHOULD BE IN WAR
That We had not seized Green
land,-just step from US there.
That we were not aoving into
Iceland,-just another step.

Seeing and Saying by william H. roulke,

ton.
In the attempt to meet the new
unemployment problems, intensi1i-
| ed by demobilization (unless we
are to remain a Warlike, defending
nation), it is predicted here that
Negroes will suffer most. No longer
needed in the industries to which
they have gained access due to
perhaps. President RooSevelt'S
memorandum to Knudsen" hitting
discrimination because OF color,
| an excuse may suffice generally to
eliminate them completely from
working in the vital streams OF
our culture.
What then to do is a question
that should be answered now by
leadership that admittedly has
failed to develop national lniti-
ative for concerted development OF
a behind" race.
Edgar Brown, the bearded Wash
ington fighter, has, to my mind, a
good plan maybe not totally suf-
ficient) in his National Council
idea. This, of course, being based
upon the ability to get sincere,
capable members. The NAACP, al
though having accomplished much
good, has only touched the surface
of our ills and the formation of
moves that would solve toto the
more important problems. The
NAACP, because of limitation in
scope, cannot solve every problem.
The national organization is doing
a tremendous job with is resources
and staff, but in many cities,
where, it seems to me the bulk of
the work should be done in the
first place, not tap is being turn
ed, so to speak. Apparently "satis-
fled" leaders are sitting on their
launches, ever what that con-
SiStS Of
Perhaps Browns Council could
do work akin to and be as success
full as the national and Internal
ional Jewish organization, which
keeps Jews from being beggars
and garners respect for them in
every sector of our life and work.
If any man has tried hard to
suggest something to help our
selves since his entree to Washing
ton, Brown is that man. He is
to be congratulated for getting
around the country and trying" to
make the Negro leadership think in
one direction. That is tremendous
job!
Before it's too late, we, and that
really means ALL of us, had
better get together and find out
what are our ideologies, consolidate
and gain a better, more secure way
of life everywhere.

LAST SUNDAY NEGRO minis
ters were being asked by group
of leaders representing various
race activities to preach a sermon
on Negro Freedom. 1t is battling
sort of subject, but there are
things that can, and ought to be
said about it, especially in these
hectic days. We have been re-
minded, perhaps not without good
reason, frequently of late of the
Negro's happy estate in the
great American democracy.
The remarkable progress made
by the race in the comparatively
short space of time since emanci-
patton has been pointed to time
and again by thinkers, speakers
and writer's, as prima facie evidence
that the heritage of American
liberty has not been denied hel
black sons. The hard lot of the
African under the domination OF
European civilization has Otter
been cited.
