IS Per Cent Of Output
Goes for Defense
By the Associated Press.

By the Associa ted Press.
A strike by members of the United
Automobile Workers &c. I. o. Union
this morning closed three plants OF
the Ex-Cell-O Corp. at Detroit and
stopped work on tools ordered for
defense purposes.
Federal Concilistor L. F. Rye said
that more than 95 per cent of the
firms tool-making production was
devoted to defense contracts. He
estimated that the work stoppage
affected 5000 men.
The union demanded a 10-cent
hourly wage increase. A tentative
settlement, reported to include s.
cent wage increase, was approved by
the union president but the men,
bers rejected it, and ordered the
strike last night.
Renew Mediation Effort.
The Defense Mediation Board to-
day renewed its efforts to avert
threatened strikes against General
Motors Corp. and the Minneapolis
Honeywell Co.
Union demands for closed shop
and wage increases figured in the
General Motors dispute. with union
recognition reported to be the chief
demand Of C. I. o. employees of the

for 100000 worth of artillery
equipment for the Army
General Motors has about S70O,-
600 900 worth of national defense
orders in its 81 plants which en-
ploy 100 900 workers.
One G. M. plant, the Packard
Electric I~vision at Warren, Ohio,
was closed last Thursday by a strike
for wage increases, and in protest
against dismissal of certain en-
ployes. Doors of the plant were re-
opened by the company yesterday,
but observers did not see any work
men 60 through the picket lines.
Strike Is Deferred. ..
c. 7. o. employees of the Allis-
Chalmers Manufacturing Co. at
Pittsburgh notified the Mediation
Board yesterday they would defer
threatened strike pending efforts
by the board to settle the dispute.
At issue are wage and contract
renewal demands.
In an echo OF the monthlong shut
down of Appalachian soft coal mines,
c. I. o. coal miners of Arkansas and
Oklahoma presented formal de-
mands on operators for basic wage
increases of 81 a day, in line with
the increase granted in the East.
Prospects for an early settlement
of Alabama's coal deadlock appeared
| brighter today as operators and
miners called separate meetings.

Emigre koqi Regime
British Plan, Nozis Soy

NEW YORK, May (P.-The
German radio broadcast today a
Beirut dispatch saying Britain plans
to establish an Iraq emigre govern
ment at the court of Emir Abdullah
of Trans s-JOrdan.
Negotiations were conducted yes
terday between the British and the
fugitive former regent of Iraq, Alb
dull Ilah, the report said. with other
prominent members of the former
government present. The counter
government would be established at
Amman.
The broadcast said Emir Abdullah
was trying to raise an Arab army
for the reconQueSt of Iraq, but had
met little response.
The Berlin radio, in a German
language broadcast heard here last
night by C. B. S.. reported that the
Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, who lives

British Forces Step Up
Campaign Against Iroqis

LONDON. May 6 P-Turkey' s
offer to mediate the British-Irak
fight and Egypt's appeal to the
Iraqis to seek terms peaceably were
sidetracked today in favor of hard
hitting military campaign in the
oil-rich Near Eastern kingdom.
AS Britains land and air forces
stepped up their efforts to subdue
what the British termed the Illegal
regime of Premier RaSchid Ali Al
Gallant, some sections of the Lon
don press called for results and
took a critical view of the govern
ments handling Of Iraq relations.
The Daily Herald described the
diplomatic prelude to the outbreak
of fighting last Friday in Iraq as
the latest example of inadequate
British methods" and said there
had been 'either complacency OF
incompetence somewhere"
The Daily Mail asked if Britain's s
diplomatic representatives in Iraq
had been taken by surprise" and
said members of Parliament would
demand a prosecution of the Irao
operation with the utmost vigor-
something stronger than leaflets on
Baghdad"
$4,000 Leaflets Dropped.
The r. A. F. Near East command
had announced yesterday that 4,O0C
leaflets written in Arabic had been
showered on Baghdad by British
bombers
A communique last night, how.
ever, told of raids elsewhere with
blazing machine guns and the
thunder of bombs, reported heavy
attacks on Iraq artillery which had
been shelling the British air base
at LAKE Habbaniyah. and said the

or air fields, had put out of action

British statement said the friendly
motives" of the Turkish government
were appreciated. but the with
drawal of Raschid Ais troops from
the siege of the Lake Habbaniyah
base was "an essential prerequisite
to any negotiations
At the same time the German
radio was heard in London quoting
the Baghdad radio that Iraq also
rejected the offer on the ground a
settlement could not oe discussed
until British troops withdrew from
the kingdom.
Dispatches last night from Cairo

President May Issue
New Solidarity Plea
To the Americas
Governors Of Latin Union
To Hear Chief Executive
Next Wednesday
By BLAIR BOLLES.

The announcement that President
Roosevelt will address the governors
of the Pan-American Union per-
week from tomorrow, aroused ex-
pectations here today that he may
make a new and invigorated pro-
nouncement on the ever greater
need for a true policy of continental
solidarity in the face Of Nazi
triumphs in Europe.
The speech, it is thought, will be
the occasion-although the speaker
probably won't say so directly-for
unching counter propaganda
against the subtle boastings of Ger
man agents in the Latin American
countries about the invincibility of
the Nazis. The time has come. the
administration holds, for the West
ern Hemisphere to tell the Axis once
again that it has no friends in the
New World.
The announcement came last
night from the White He. sc without
any official statement as to what the
FIcSlucIlt WOulU Say.
Stand on Axis Ships Waited.
A first consequence of the speech,
the administration hopes, will be to
assure our fellow American republics
that so far as the Western Hemi-
sphere nations policy toward Europe
is concerned, it Is a case OF "one for
all and all for one" Events have
moved SO rapidly since the Havana
Conference of last summer that the
United States has often acted
swiftly and independently in way
that has left many other American
countries thinking they are only
following the leader.
Once the thought of true cooper
alton is planted. 1t is hoped here
that some concrete instance of unity
might be made public. such as a
joint statement of inter-American
policy concerning Axis ships In
American harbors.
Opportunities for improving the
status of military and diplomatic CO.
operation among the Americas will
be provided within the next 10 days
| by two visits here-the first. of the
chiefs of II South American navies
now in Pensacola, scheduled to reach
Washington tomorrow: the second
OF DR.. Enrique Ruiz Guinazu, for
eign minister of Argentina, next
week for a talk with Secretary OF
State Hull
Argentina Most Apathetic.
Argentina still remains the most
| apathetic of the South American
countries toward the solidarity policy
urged by the United States. How
ever. the country is in the midst OF
an armaments program Of high sig
nificance. The Argentine Congress
has approved bill appropriatine
646 900 900 pesos for undermining
army equipment
| At the same time. Argentina has
taken diplomatic steps to solidify its
own relations with other South
American countries. The nation has
raised her Legation at La Paz
Bolivia, to an Embassy and has well
| coined the first Bolivian Ambassador

America Awakening

In Fairmont Park, Philadelphia, Is
a colossal bronze statuary group, the

this is a Subgroup entitled America
Awakening Her Sleeping Sons to
Fight for Liberty 1t depicts Co.
lumbia placing her hands upon
farmer and a hunter, to arouse them
to protect against impending peril.
Ironically, it develops that the en-
tire group was designed and cast IN
Berlin. The sculptor was just
hired workman, and an awakening
America represented to him merely
an opportunity to use his talents to
good effect.
1t is quite certain that different
feeling prevails there now. However
much the Nazis profess to scorn
America, its awakening represents 10
them a grim, unpleasant reality.
Also. to realiStS in the Reich, it may
not seem so incongruous that Ger
