 Defense Work
War Department Asks for Sidetrdlking of Prop
 erfy Seizure Bill

WASHINGTON, June 10. The War Department today asked Con- gress to sidetrack the so-called property seizure bill, at least tenn porarily, to permit the speedy pass age of legislation to give President Roosevelt specific statutory author ity to deal with defense strikes.
 Undersecretary of War Rober t Patterson told the House Military Affairs Committee that amendments to the selective service law such as those proposed by Senator Tom Con nally and Chairman Carl Vinson of the House Naval Affairs Committee, would be "able to fill the needs as the War Department sees it.
 Both amendments enable the Gov ernment to take over any plant where there is existing or where there is threatened a failure of production that would interfere with the National Defense Program.

Belligerent House of Com : mons Hot After Prime
 Minister Today

LONDON, June 30.-Prime Min ister Winston Churchill, facing critical Parliament question on Great Britains war reverses, today heard sharp demands for a more vigorous war strategy, newer and stronger plan for aerial warfare and a drastic shakeup in leadership.
 Churchill crisply rejected pro- posal to form small, compact War Cabinet to include Dominion lead- CTS.
 The Prime Minister told the mem bers of the House of Commons that the criticisms were calculated to challenge the security of the ad- ministration.
 The belligerent House of Com mons queried Churchill on the loss of Crete and he declared this som Der, ferocious battle was we'll worth fighting and will play an extremely important part in the defense of the Nile Valley"
 Churchill attributed Great Bri- tain's defeat and loss of Crete on weakness in the air.
 Churchill decared the British lost l5,0OO killed. wounded or missing, men taken prisoners, exclusive of the Greeks and Cretans. He declar- ed that the Germans lost 5000 drowned and 12.000 killed or wound ed and the Nazis also lost 180 fight CT planes and bombers and 150 troop carrying aircraft.

On the Middle East war front, British columns are driving through French mandated Syria and this afternoon are reported less than 10 miles from the ancient capital city of Damascus.
 Early capture of the city is pre- dicted, possibly during tonight.
 The advance, according to an of- ficial communique, is proceeding smoothly.
 A dispatch from Ankara, Turkey, authoritatively reports that German Air Force and Army specialists, scattered throughout Syria, have been ordered by the Nazis to retire from the mandated country.

 SAYS JAPAN IS LOYAL

ROME, June 10.-Italian Premier Benito Mussolini today virtually de- fled the United States to declare war against the Axis.
 Addressing the Fascist Chamber of Guilds on the anniversary of Italy's entrance into the war, Mus solini declared that Japan will be loyal to her pact with Germany and Italy in the event of American aggression against the Axis"
 The delegates to the chamber applauded when Mussolini said "Japan's attitude is in a perfect line in the tripartite pact and the Jap anese, a proud and loyal people, could not remain indifferent in the face of American aggression against the Axis"
 Mussolini accused Turkey of aid- ing Greece in the Greece war against Italy and proclaimed that conquered Greece now "reenters into Italy's vital space in the Mediter- ranean."

(By Associated Press)

The second ,walkout of the CIO union members of the aluminium industry tied up six plants of the Bohn Aluminum and Brass Cor poration at Detroit today.
 Another strike threat came from the huge Consolidated Aircraft Cor poration plant in San Diego when union members voted all day on strike call.
 Yesterday cIO die casters called a strike and closed the Aluminium Company of Americas plan in Cleveland.
 About 4,000 members of the United Auto Workers, CIO, walked out of the Bohn plants even though Sec retary of Labor Frances Perkins cer- tified the wage dispute to the De- fense Mediation Board last night. The unions ask ten cents an hour increase over an undisclosed wage scale.
 A comapny official said the plant has 25 million dollars worth of Gov ernment contracts.
 One plant. having separate wage agreement, is not affected.
 Stephen Early, secretary to the President. said there is no possibility of immediate Government action in the aluminium strike.

Late yesterday, the Navy Depart ment in Washington received an un- confirmed report from the Brazilian steamer Osorio stating the American steamer Robin Moor had been tor pedoed and sunk in the South Att lantic by German submarine.
 This report said the Osorio had found one lifeboat with survivors.
 Earlier in the day yesterday dis patch from Rio de Janerio merely said the Robin Moor had sunk with out giving any cause. The Robin Moor carried eight passengers and crew of 38 and was bound from New York to Cape town.
 Confirmation
 This morning the captain of the Brazilian steamer Osorio, rescue ship, declared flatly in a radiogram to the Associated Press that the Am erican steamer Robin Moor was sunk in the South Atlantic on May 21 and was tofpedoed.
 Government officials in Washing ton expressed grave concern as other reports received during today also claimed the Robin Moor was sent to the bottom by German submarine. If this is true, the Robin Moor is the first American ship to be torpedoed since the World War.
 35 Persons Missing
 In the radiogram to the Asso- ciated Press, Capt. Waldeman Lucio Pereira, skipper of the rescue ship Osorio. said 35 persons are still miss ing
 When the Robin Moor left New York there were eight passengers and crew of 38 officers and men aboard.

WASHINGTON = Shortly after Phil Murray was elected head of the CIO last year, an old laborite friend said to him, Phil, want to give you one piece of advice. If you don't clean out the Kommies, you, the CIO and the whole labor movement will live to regret it"
 A devout Catholic, Phil Murray is no left-winger. But he is tied tc the apron strings of John L. Lewis, who also is no left-winger but has been playing ball with them for his own ends. So Murray did not purge the Communists and, as his friend predicted, has lived to regret it.
 For that defiant statement of O. M. Orton, left-wing President of the CIO Woodworkers, refusing to settle the Puget Sound loggers strike, ac- tually was not aimed at the National Defense Mediation Board in general but at Murray in particular.
 Murray is member of the Media tion Board, and had approved the terms it proposed to settle the strike Later. when Orton refused to submit the settlement to the strikers Tor a vote, Murray signed the Board tele- gram to Orton ordering him to Washington to explain his action And at that meeting Murray se- verely condemned Orton for recal- citrance.
 With this bawling out ringing in his ears, Orton issued his nose thumbing pronunciamento, calling the Mediation Board "a labor-brst- ing organization" and declaring that he was following the true trade union' principles of John L. Lewis.
 At first Murray took this slam without word of reproof-as Orton figured he would if confronted with Lewis name. CIO insiders say Orton
