CHICAGO, Nov. S.-Action by
President Roosevelt to head OF
a nationwide railroad strike was
predicted today as embittered
leaders OF the Big Five" operat-
ing brotherhoods prepared to issue
strike cal, probably for De-
cember 5.
Decision to call a strike was
reached Friday at a meeting Of
the brotherhoods' 400 general
chairmen. They said a 7h per
cent wage increase. recommended
by the Presidents emergency
board and tentatively accepted by
railroad management, is an "in-
suit" They had asked a 30 per
cent increase.
Logical MoUe
Because of the 30-day cooling
of" period provided by the Rail-
way Labor Act, December 5 Is
the earliest date on which the
strike could be effective. A. F.
Whitney, president of the Brother
hood OF Trainmen. said this date
will probably be chosen when the
call is Issued Monday or Tuesday.
Since mediation m chinery
under the federal Railway Labor
Act has now been exhausted,
action by the President him
self would be the logical next
step toward solving the dispute,
railroad men stated. II was sug-
kted that the President may call

 Mote these facts" he says. "(1) you can still mail letter in London in the afternoon and have it delivered the next morn ing. (2) you can send telegrams. (3) you can telephone to other cities. (4) you can go anywhere in the country by rail, bus nr automobile. (5) you ran go, ..a- ter. gas and electricity Usual. The service isn't as .4fect as it used to be, but you can take it from me that the utilities are still functioning in Britain"
 Klemmer is convinced that Hit Ter must try an invasion or face ultimate defeat by an invading force of Britons. And he is equally convinced that the Nazis will eventually fail. He ends his book with this statement:
 'The British may be slaugh- tered; their air force may be wiped out; their cities may be destroyed; their army may be driven into the sea; they will carry on. They will fight, if need be, around the world and back again. That sun which never set on an empire at peace will never set on an empire at war, THEY'LL NEVER QUIT"
 When Klemmer, an American born in Michigan, wrote his book. he wrote it without the thought of going back to England. He's returning by transatlantic clipper in the next week or two to Lon don, to serve with W.ssAyerell Hartman In carrying out the terms of the Lend. Lease Rili.

 Army Parade
Sponsored by Legion, Army Day Celebrates
 March in Rain

Thronps of Juneauites lined tho streets and peered from open sec ond story windows yesterday eve ming as over 100 armed members of the Juneau National Guard units paraded the business section of the city as part of the Army Day celebration sponsored by the Ju- neau Post of the American Legion
 Led by the Juneau High School band, the parade order included the men of Battalion Headquarters detachment, Company A and Medi- cal detachment of the 297th h. fantry; Juneau Chapter of the Re- serve Officers Association, Ameri- can Legion and Sons of the Am erican Legion, an approximate to- tai of 250 men, which was inter- spersed by truck displaying ma chine guns and trench mortars of the weapons section of Company A.
 In spite of rain and high wind that whipped at the troops as they formed at the Federal Building, hundreds of spectators lined the streets in the sheltered spots.
 Although original plans were for the parade to be disbanded on re- turn to the Federal Building, Com manding officer Capt William c. Walther continued the National Guardsmen past the Governors Mansion to the Fair Building where Major Jesse E. Graham, U. s. Army instructor for the Alaska National Guard, was waiting.
 Said the Major: You men are liable to be called into active duty at any time. You are equipped, uniformed and have preliminary training"
 Major Graham commended the units of Guardsmen for their par adlng and said that they did very well" for such short framing.

By daaORGE TUCKER


 NEW YORK, April 8-Some con- versationalists are raconteurs and others are coon-shouters, and this applies to pianists as well. Mir Iwight Fiske, to peg the classifi- cation to a personality, is by repu- tation the most gifted of New York's storytelling pianists, and MT. Johnny Payne is to the small, intimate cafe piano what Sophie Tucker is to the Red Hot MamaS of vaudeville. He is coon-Shouter pure and simple.
 In between come pair of en- tertainers-Bob Lee and Hal Yates who are distinctive because of their poetry (very free) and their refusal to indulge in between-the- lines smut All have followings and all are doing well.
 Bob Lee, in case you are at the Wevil restaurant any time soon, is the man at the piano. He is noted for his extemporaneous verse. You name it-he rhymes it. If you are having a steak and yell Bus Strike" he rhymes verse for you at the piano about the bus strike in New York, on the spot. He has rhymed more than 10,- GOO verses for those who take the trouble to recommend subjects.
 Payne, a husky -throated key board banger, is at the Elysee Monkey bar and is altogether a barrel house pianist. His piano, an ancient upright, is on rockers, and as he bangs it rocks to and fro. He has mirror suspended above HIS head which enables him to see and razz his audiences. Be- tween numbers it is his habit to toss brandy glasses in a crashing cresendo against the wall. They always break.
 It is Hal Yates, at the Lombardi Bar. who says you do not have to deal in dirt to get by--a rule that at least one noted Broadway producer, John Golden, has fol- lowed successfully for two dec ades. There was time when pres sure was put on Yates to form an orchestra under his own name but he declined saying too many good musicians wound up as poor band leaders. His piano playing is what he likes, and it feeds him well.
 Dwight Fiske, who seldom is heard in any but the highest priced restaurants-usually at the Savoy Plaza or Fefes Monte Car To, hasn't changed much in style or material during recent years, but his popularity remains undi- unfinished

of the gems of news Klemmer reveals is in the following story.
 "A captured German pilot was taken in for questioning by in telligence officers. He was bitter and defiant, and boasted of hav- ing bombed London thirty times.
 CT wish I could do it thirty times more,' he said. This isn't anything compared with what you have done to Hamburg.'"
 That is one of the few indica- tions coming out of Germany as to the extent of damage done by the RAT in bombing flights. England has published it's dam age with the blessing of the cen sor, but German censors have re- leased only meager information and few pictures showing bomb damage in the Fatherland.
 Klemmer tells the story of a young pilot, brought down at Folkestone, who had been ma chine-gunning women and chil. dren on the sea front. It turned out that the youth was an old Cambridge student. and spoke perfect English.
 "What kind of a soldier are you," a British officer asked him. machine gunning women and children?"
