 Threat of Bombing
 Although there was no conflrma- ton of reports emanating from the Jugoslav government-tn-ex exile at London that Germany has threat ened to bomb and shell Belgrade unless the "ChetnikS" surrendered, it was understood that Jugoslav minister Constantin F'otitch had given the information to Undersec- retary of State Sumner Welles dnr- ing a conference Monday.
 The reports were interpreted in Jugoglav quarters to mean that the "ChstnikS" had grown in such num- berS and become So powerful aS to be beyond the control of German military forces. They said Jugo- slavs abroad are no longer using the term "guerrillas" in describing the Chetniks but claim they form an army of over 100, 900 men under the command of Col. Drazje Mihailo- witch, former ofncer of the Jugo- Slav army.
 The Lest information here is that the Chetntks have been organized around the nucleus of the old Jugo- saay army. Before the war started, there were more than 1,O0O, 900 men in 1t but some 200,O00 were taken prisoner by the Germans and YtaI- fans.

 Near Fresh Climax
 London, Nov. 26--(UP)--An que thoritative British source said to- day that the battle of Libya hes reached "a fresh climax" with fu- rious fighting in progress and ''heavy losses on both sides"
 The spokesman said that "a cer- tain amount of reorganization" on both sides is in progress. The Royal Air Force, operating west of Sidi Omar, he said, located an Axis concentration of motor transport which was thought to be @ possible sign that the Axis forces were preparing for "a break out attempt" The RAF bombed this concentration.
 The spokesman said that since the start of the offensive the floyal navy has sunk seven enemy sup- ply or troop transports and proba- ply has sunk c cruisers and Q destroyer and set fire to 6 supply schooner.
 The results were said to have had "a dominating effect" upon the re- sistance being put tip by the Axis.
 The source said that even If the British swept right through and occupied Bizerte Gin Tunlsia) it would still be dlfflcult to use the short sea route through the Medi- terranean."
 However, he said occupation of Benghazi would enable the British to make stronger attacks on the enemy's supply lines in the Medi- terranean and would give the British more effective control of the eastern Mediterranean,
 The spokesman admitted it was possible q handful of Axis troops remain in Bardia but said "that would be of no importance as 1t does not interfere with British communication through Bardia."
 The British are still contain Ing" the Germans at solum, he said.
 Tn Ethiopia, he said, the British capture Of the Feroaber garrison brought the surrender of 1900 Italian and 700 native troops. The remainder of the garrison was killed, he said.

N~~ssFAAsNSNA AA SAAA A Rkg AC a-------~-------s---------- could force management to play against e stacked deck. Approve Program
 The most vigorous supporters Of organized labor also are opposing the program. Labor always has opposed compulsory arbitration on the ground that 1t deprives unions of the right to strike.
 However, the White House pro- gram generally was approved by congressman who are neither ardent supporters nor particular critics of labor, and also by those more con- cerned about foreign policy than domestic issues.
 The house labor committee was scheduled to pass on the program Friday. It expected to hear Presi- dent Philip Murray of the Con- greSs of Industrial Organizations and President William Green of the American Federation of Labor in secret session tomorrow but the new bill will not be ready until Friday.
 President Walter D. Fuller of the National Association of Manufac- turers also may testify.
 Ranking Democratic Committee man, Rep. Robert Ramspeck of Georgia, who has supported the New Deal labor program, is drafting the White House proposals in bill form at the committees direction.
 Agreed Upon Three
 Ramspeck said there was general committee agreement on three of the four statutory steps recommend ed by the conferees: Negotiation conciliation and mediation with a mandatory cooling off" period. The fourth, empowering the President to order disputes, which the first three have left unsettled, into arbitration, Ramspeck said, may also be ap- proved by the labor committee.
 He said 1t was likely that that provision would be offered on the floor if the committee does not approve 1t but that, If approved by both houses, the President was ex. pected to sign a bill embodying all four points.
 Will Prevent Strikes
 "It's pretty drastic all right" Ram speck said, "it will prevent strikes in defense industries unless the employer wants to lose his plant or the workers want to surrender their rights"
 If the bill which Ramspeck is drafting is finally approved, gov- ernmental handling of a labor dis pute would proceed in this man. ner:
 Employees of plant engaged in work vital to national defense would be compelled to stay on the joh while bargaining collectively with their employer.
 If these negotiations failed, labor department concilatios would be employed and if the conciliators could effect no settlement, the dis pute would have to go to the na- tional defense mediation board.
 The workers would be required by law to stay on the job while mediation continued, in the same manner that disputes are now me- diated on a voluntary basis by the board.
 But if the mediation board wal unable to get the union and the management together, thee ssential departure from the present volun- tarv system Would be reached.

 Washington, Nov. 26-(UP)-The United states is ready today Co proceed with the Japanese peace" explorations on the basis of a unit. ed front with other powers con. fronting Japan In the Pacific.
 Arrangements were being made for further conferences between Secretary of State Cordell Hull and the two Japanese ambassadors, Sa- buro Kurusu and Klchlsaburo Mo- mura. It was understood that Hull would hand them the American re- ply to Japanese proposals made in conferences going on here since Monday of last week.
 The reply has been shown to dip- lomatic representatives of China, Great Britain, Australia and the Netherlands, the so-cailed ABCD powers. Hull saw the Chinese all- bassador, pr. Hu Shin last evening and informed him oe the details cf the American position.
 Previously Hull had seen Lord Halifax, the British ambassador, and had been in communication with the Netherlands minister, Dr. Alexander Loudon, and the Aus tr ..lian minister, Richard c. Casey.
 The nature of the reply was not revealed but its presentation rep- resented a critical phase in the discussions.
 Not Accepted
 Japan was understood to have proposed last Saturday that the United States relax It's economic measures against Japan in return for Q pledge to forego aggressive action in the Far East while the Issues between the United States and Japan were being discussed in greater detail.
 The Japanese proposition was based on the reasoning that a sek- clement of long standing issues corId be achieved better # the present tension were relaxed and that continuation of economic pres sure might drive Japanese exkrern- fsts into acts which would further aggravate the situation.

Two New Mexico dentists believe
they have found the answer TO a
problem that has stumped science
for years-hov 20 remove from
teeth the brown stains imbedded
in the enamel during childhood by
flourinetainted water.
And. says Drs. Howard r. RApeF
and J. G. Manser OF Albuquerque.
their new method Is as simple as
removing q stain from a bathtub.
The two dentists said they had
discovered that the socalied Sc.
eret formulas used by a few den
lists and several laymen 10 remove
the brown stains were evolved
from q simple mineral acid some.
times used as a bathtub cleaner.
The dentists said there are 575
fluorine districts In IS states OF the
United States where stains occur
in childhood as the teeth are
forming and eventually are built
into the enamel Itself.
DR.. Raper ssd that by use Of
the acid, q special mouth wash
and a polishing powder. stains
could be removed in from IS min.
utes to an hour from teeth which
had been stained brown by fluor.
Inc for many year,.
How completely the stain can
be removed depends on how deep
