C.I. 0. Officials Hear

Politics With Defense
Charges One Unionist

Capital labor circles today dis
cussed with interest reports that
John L. Lewis, former c. I. o. presi-
dent, roundly criticized Sidney Hill
man. co-director of the Office of
Production Management. at a closed
meeting of C. l. o. officials here
yesterday.
Following Mr.. Lewis reported
criticism of Mr.. Hillman, Jacob
Potofsky, acting head Of the c. I. o.
Amalgamated Garment Workers,
was declared to have charged Mr..
Lewis with playing politics with
defense.
Mr.. Lewis. now president of the
c. I. o. United Mine Workers, was
said to have asserted that Mr.. Hill
man was responsible for certifica-
ton OF the soft coal wage Contro-
verSy 10 the Defense Mediation
Board. a step Mr.. Lewis opposed.
Mr.. Hillman is on leave of absence
as head of the garment workers, and
resigned as vice president OF the

1T is therefore imperative" he
said, that the approaches between
the Americas and those strategic
outposts, the safety Of which this
country regards as essential TO its
national security and which it must
| therefore defend. shall remain open
and free from all hostile activity or
threat thereof. '''
This Government will insure the

of Iceland as a sovereign State
Permits Withdrawal Of Canadians.
There were indications that the
vanguard of the occupying force
! the Naval forces whose landing Mr.
/ Roosevelt announced yesterday-was
! OF considerable strength. Prime
Minister Mackenzie King of Canada
said last night that the naval forces
/ in Iceland were very large, permit
ting the withdrawal TO England of
/ Canadian reinforcements which had
been on duty on the island for some
! time.
! In connection with eventual dis
patch of troops 10 Iceland. it was
recalled that Gen. George c.
Marshall Army Chief of Staff, dis
/ closed on June % that special
! force of soldiers and marines had
been created for task missions
special operations of specific ma
| ture outside of the continental
United States. He said a marine
officer had been given command of
! this unit. but did not indicate It's
strength or the officers name.
Some Regular Army units. notably
the 1st c'F1ghting First Division,
and some Marine Corps regiments
have had priority on the most mod
ern military equipment being pro-
duced. 1t was thought likely, there
fore, that such units would be drawn
on for garrison personnel.
The indication that troops may be
sent to Iceland in substantial num-
bers caused general discussion here,
especially in congressional circles,
as to whether that island Kingdom
| is TO be considered in or out of the
Western Hemisphere.
| There were signs that the issue
might become so sharp that it would
have to be settled by presidential
or congressional eclaration-partic-
ularly if the War Department finds
it necessary to include in the occu-
pying force some of the 100000 Sc
lective service trainees or the $4,000
National Guardsmen now in the
| Army.
Line Not Defined Exactly.
Under the law these men may not
be sent outside the Western Hemi-
sphere in peacetime except to United
States possessions. and legal author
tiles said there was no exact defini-
ton of the line where that hemi-
sphere leaves off and the Eastern
Hemisphere begins.
Highly-placed administration Of
ficials said recently that the hemi-
spheres eastern boundary included

Greenland but excluded Iceland,
On the other hand, the National
Geographic Society said yesterday
that the generally accepted bound
ary was the goth meridian, slicing
through Iceland east of Reykiavik
If this line were established as the
official boundary for American pur-
poses, it would mean that not only
Iceland but also the Azores. off
Portugal, and the Cape Islands. off
the French West African port of
Dakar, would lie within this hemi-
sphere. Some strategists hold the
view that occupation Of those islands
eventually may be necessary to de-
Tense policy. President Roosevelt
has said that If any of those bases
fell under NaZi control. the security
and safety of the hemisphere would
be jeopardized.
Gen. Marshall recommended last
week that Congress amend the law
to permit use of selecteeS and
Guardsmen outside of the hemi-
sphere. Some Regular Army units,
he pointed out, had been brought
up to strength by the addition of
selectees-a fact which would pre-
vent the general staff from using
the unit freely in non-hemisphere
emergency affecting the United
States.
Gen. Marshall's suggestion got a
bad reception in Congress, and it
appeared unlikely that any change
would be made in the law at the
present time.

bench. Many of the Senator's COL
leagues from Capitol Hill also were
present, together with Mrs. Byrnes
and other members of his family.
The President congratulated the
new Justice. remarking that al
though the Senate is losing an able
member, the Supreme Court Is
making a comparable gain.

publican legislators as well as with
his Democratic colleagues. was con-
f1rmed by the Senate Immediately on

added:
Since the Nations safety is

this Is in large measure our
responsibility.
In addition, while traffic deaths
in 1941 have increased II per cent.
the increase in the pre-School age
group up to 4 years has increased
33 per cent-the largest increase of
all age groups"
