C.I. @. Head Is Called
To White House for
Defense Labor Talk
Summons Follows
Presidential Conference
With Knudsen

President Roosevelt called Philip
Murray, president of the Congress
of Industrial Organizations, to the
White House today for a discussion
of labor relations in the defense in
duStries.
The conference follows repeated
assertions by the President that he
is not disturbed over the labor pic
ture in its relation to the defense
program, his latest expression being
at his press conference late yester-
day He pointed out that no more
than one-quarter of l per cent Of
defense production has ever been
affected at one time by strikes.
Despite this relatively complacent
attitude of the Chief Executive on
the labor situation, other Govern
ment officials and several members
of Congress have expressed concern
at threatened and actual delays.
Sees Knudsen Also.
Just before seeing Mr.. Murray at
luncheon, the President conferred
for nearly an hour with William S.
Knudsen, director Of the Office Of
Production Management. Mr.. Knud-
sen meets with the President about
once each week for an overall dis
cuSSion of defense production, and
it was not known whether there was
any special emphasis in their con-
ference today on the labor rela-
tons matter.
Actually. the White House in
sisted in advance of Mr.. Murrays
visit that he was being invited to
confe~ with the President on the
labor situation in general and not
because of defense strikes.
In discussing the labor situation
yesterday, the President acknow-
lodged that creation of special
mediation board to handle disputes
in the defense industries is one of
the many possibilities under consid-
Grafton.
c. i. o. Opposes.
Mr.. Murray has informed Sidney
Hillman, associate director of the
o. P. M, that the C. L o. is opposed
to setting UP such an agency, how
ever. Disposition on the part of the
labor organization may have been
one of the subjects of discussion at
today's White House conference.
Still treating a head cold, Mr..
Roosevelt confined his days buSi-
ness to these two engagements and
some Office work with his Secre-
tarial aides. He planned to remain
in the White House proper rather
than go to the executive Office for
his conferences.
Because of delays in considera-
ton OF the lease-lend bill on Cap
itol Hill, plus the cold from which
he is now suffering, the President
probably will not leave Washington
for any sort of vacation trip until
after March II. He had hoped
briefly to make a short cruise or
journey southwark between March
l and March Is.
On Saturday night of this week
he will make a brief Nationwide
radio address on a program mark
ing the eighth anniversary of the
launching of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration farm re-
lief plan.
He is scheduled on the following
Saturday night, March IS. to attend
the annual dinner of the White
House Correspondents Association,
and on March II he is planning to
visit the new National Gallery of
Art.

Senator NOrris-1917 and 1941

CThe Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 War in civilized world has no existence, but yet the time is probably here now when have got to take chance of war to save our form of gov ernment"

He is the only member of the group remaining in the Senate where he has served 28 This month he celebrated his 8Oth birthday anniversary and viewed the world through experienced eyes
 Senator George w. Norris of Nebraska has come long way since he burned in effigy in World War days. His independent course made many ene- mics and in the end won him respect for he showed himself a who thinks for himself and will not be swayed by pressure.
 Unlike many of the younger isolationists of today Senator Norris is aware among other things, that this war is not just duplication of the last one Defending his conduct then and his present attitude, Norris said:
 T believe was right in opposing that At that time we did not have world of dictators- and especially arch dctator-who wished to end of the world cherish and forefathers for Death would be preferable to the black that would descend us Civilization would be plotted out"
 We do not believe the Senator was right in op- posing American participation in the World War. It was not IdCC that we LOOK part III the lgnI- ing that caused the subsequent trouble-a develop ment often cited to show that our war effort was mstake-but the error this nation committed in refusing to take any part responsibility in the peace which followed We believe the Kaiser would have gone from European to world conquest, as Hitler is doing if he had not been stopped Hitler is the 194l expression of the aggressive which motivated Wilhelm.
 Nevertheless the veteran of the upper House sees the issue clearly today He is fully aware of the danger which besets every independent nation and he is willing that the risk of war be taken if such is necessary to heritage Norris ex- perience, his knowledge of world affairs, his ap- praisal of the psychology of the American people should be considered by his younger colleagues who through misguided political tantrums obstruct- ing the defense efforts of the nation.

The Juneau section of Alaska is certainly not 8 stock raising country, but just the a round up" is being staged here this week.
 If you'll pardon our puns the stock is going to be driven from it's old nome the range" to a new wire corral built by the city at Front and Seward streets.
 The stock in this case is old aluminium In many instances the range" is the kitchen range and the old aluminium kettles which will be driven to the corral will be shipped to Seattle for conver sion by the government into defense materials.
 Thus Juneau becomes the first city in Alaska to join with cities all over the nation in collecting the vital defense metal, of which serious national shortage exists.
 With the city building the aluminium corral into which residents are urged to deposit any old alum mum articles they have hand with the Rotary club sponsoring the drive and with the Boy Scouts slated to make house house convasses of the city on Thursday and Friday, the aluminium drive is taking on the aspects of an al-out effort on the part of residents in Alaska's Capital City.
 Even taxi drivers, delivery truck drivers and other motorists being drafted into service Fri day afternoon, when the Scouts scheduled to collect contributions from both residential and bus- ness districts. The with cars are asked to keep their eyes open for Scouts with bags of alum mum their shoulders and to give them lift to the Front and Seward street intersection, so the metal can be dumped in the city aluminium pot"
 At the end of the week. the Alaska Steamship Company will give free transportation of the Juneau aluminium collection to Seattle where it will be re- ceived by Government officials in charge of defense production
 In the nationwide aluminium drive no one is being asked to give away kitchen utensils for which they have an everyday use any other article of use simply because it is made of aluminium There is enough unused aluminium laying around homes garages shipyards and other locations to vastly hep along production lines of the defense program if it can be rounded up, officials believe

YOU'RE IN THE ARMY NOW"

While there will be lot of noisy breast-beating in the opposition, you can write this down as certain:
 l. Congress will approve the re-
 tention of the National Guard
 and selectees in the army.
 ?. The House will pass the s.
 5000O0 defense tax bill in the
 form recommended by the
 Ways and Means Committee.
 Under the restricted debate rules of the House, action on Army reten- tion will take only few days. The Senate melee will last longer. The isolationist-appeasement bloc will take advantage of the issue to un- leash wide-ranged blitz on the Presidents foreign policy. Central theme of this attack will be the charge that he is secretly leading the country into war.
 However, while the senatorial antis will unlimber their heaviest orator. ical guns, their attack will be largely hit-and-run affair.
 Privately they are not prepared to accept the Presidents challenge to block the legislation. They will de- nounce him fiercely, but they will very carefully back away from the responsibility of riddling the army. Tip-off on their tactics was Sem ator Burt Wheeler's conduct during the consideration of the War De- partment's draft property" bill.
 The Montanan clawed it from stem to stern, and then ducked out of the Senate and was nowhere around when the far-reaching meas ure was adopted without even a roll call.

 'The lofty subject to which the lady from Ohio refers was not dis cussed to my knowledge" grinned Crowther. No one, man, woman or child, came before the committee and asked to be heard, though we held lengthy hearings and listened to many witnesses on various phases of the tax question"
 Well, if you had given American women chance to be heard,' shot back Mrs. Bolton, you wouldn't have approved this outrageous joint-re- turns section.

 Then. waving an admonishing finger at her colleagues, Mrs. Bolton continued: This part of the tax bill is an invasion of the home.
