To Seize Plant In
Defense Stoppage
BY UNITED PRESS

Negotiations to settle the
strike at the Federal Ship
building and Drydock COM
pany, Kearny, N. j., collap~
sed Friday and presidential
action to reopen the plant appeared
imminent, while the maritime COM
mission announced that a shipyard
construction strike at Houston, Tex +,
had been settled
Company and union representa-
tives, after last-minute confer
ence at the request of President
Roosevelt, abandoned hope early
Friday of reaching an agreement.
President Roosevelt revealed, how
ever, that he is extremely reluctant
to commander plant of the Federal
Shipbuilding and Drydock company,
but refused to predict whether
events would force him to take over
the strike-bound yards.
The president conferred Thurs
day with John Green, president of
the Industrial Union of Marine
ad Shipbuilding Workers, and L.
H. Korndorff, president of the COM
pany. Green and Korndorff agreed
to resume negotiations in an attemp.
to settle the Today strike of $4,000
workers.
Green emerged from the confer
ence and renewed his recommended
ton that the government seize the
shipyard, which holds $493, 100000
in defense contracts. The company
has rejected a national defense
mediation board recommendation to
grant maintenance of union
membership clause in an agree
ment with the union.

Roosevelt Defends
Defense Output in
Tirade at Senator
President Reveals
Production Figures
To Refute Byrd

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug.
20 (UP)-President Roose-
welt asserted today that
charges Of Senator Harry F.
Byrd that the defense pro-
gram was begging down were based
ON almost completely inaccurate
statistics and added that somebody
sold the senator down the river.
On the average, defense produc-
ton is up to estimates, and in some
cases actually exceeds estimates,
Mr.. Roosevelt said. While he said
he still is not satisfied with arm
ament production, he cited war de-
partment figures to show that
Byrd's charges were considerably
wide of the actual production rec
ordS.
The war department, he said, in
SiSts that Byrd most unfortunately
was completely inaccurate in all his
figures except airplane production
The conclusion, are president said
with a smile, is simply that some
body sold the senator down the
river on his figures.
Byrd had charged that the pro-
duction effort was begging down
disastrously, and had demanded
that the president centralize con-
troll of the defense program under
a single, all-powerful head Mr..
Roosevelt did not discuss the CEN
tralization idea, but, item by item,
he cited war department figures

Germany claimed new sue
cesses Friday as Adolf Hit
ler's offensive surged to "full
flood" against Russia but the
Red army reported it was
crushing the main Nazi drives
against embattled Leningrad and
across the lower Dnieper river in
battles of increasing violence.
An epochal battle appeared to be
developing rapidly in the fortified
zone around Leningrad, where the
Germans unofficially reported in
definite progress. The Russians said
they stemmed the enemy with a
living wall of defenders and had
turned back the luftwaffe so fur
iously that not a single bomb had
fallen on the huge industrial city.
Moscow also reported that German
attempts to cross tile tower Dnieper
had been repulsed with severe loss
eS.
The German high command and
official Nazi war dispatches claimed
that the Red army's ability to carry
on the war had been greatly i'm
paired by loss of 1,250,000 prisoners,
vast quantities of equipment and
large industrial and farming areas.
The high command emphasized
that thrust through the Russian
central defenses at Gomel was of

Whoa, There

Whoa, There
A vacation trip in the mountains
up north was going beautifully for
for Mr.. and Mrs. Neal H. Gavin
until a short cut up steep grade
tempted Gavin.
The curves kept getting curvier
and curvier and the grade sleeper
and sleeper. When they started on
the trip there was plenty of gaso-
line for going the long way but the
steep grade prevented the gasoline
from reaching the usual places nee
eSsary to transportation.
Mrs. Gavin wasn't enjoying the
steep curves much anyway and
when the car stopped away up
yonder, she was most uneasy.
Get out and stand on that curve
down there" Gavin said "and III
turn around"
She complied, glad of an oppor-
tunity to miss the turning around
process.
You can get in now," Gavin call
ed few minutes later. I'm turned

But they began backing up

The O'Neil car was travelling east
when it met the truck on a bridge
over the All American canal in the
sandhills IA miles west of Winter
haven. The terrific impact demol-
ished the car, Sgt. Cliff Reed of
the highway patrol said, and carried
it 1T feet west of the collision
point. The truck pulled to the right
after the wreck and careened $50
feet, striking bridge supports on
both sides of the highway. The
impact tore out the cars trans
mission and tossed it to the pave
ment. The Rotor was driven into
the cars interior, Reed said. The
front seat was smashed against the
occupants of the rear seat, pinnine
them there. The front of the car
pinned the front seat occupants

wreckage.
Reed said the bodies of the VIC

Repatriation Of
Nationals Planned

WASHINGTON. Aug. % CUP) -
Secretary of State Cordell Hull in
dicated today that a formula has
been reached for the gradual repa-
triation of Americans and Japanese
desiring to return to their respec-

Hull said he had no specific news
in relation to the repatriation and
that there had been no change in
the general policy on that subject.
But, in response to questions, he
said that it would not be surprising
if groups of Americans were report
ed moving from Japan to Shanghai
from time to time. He also said that
there would probably be reports of
Japanese nationals travelling from
the United States to Japan.
