Six Deferred Men
Still Idle After Plane
Strike Face Draft
North American Plant

LOS ANGELES, June Ask
men deferred from military service
have not returned to their jobs at
North American Aircraft Corp. since
the Army took over the strikebound
plant Monday, Col. Charles E. Bran
shaw reported today.
Their names have been referred
to their draft boards. Deferment
had been granted because OF en-
pioyment in All essential defense
industry.
The colonels action makes the
men. whom he did not name, liable
to immediate call for Army service,
barring possible deferment on other
grounds.
Meanwhile, with production once

the plant humming along on $780,

Labor League Makes
Attack on Administration

By the Associated Press.
Labor's Non-Partisan League last
night termed the past week "the
blacklist in American labor history
and said the Roosevelt administra-
ton overnight abandoned not only
what earlier administrations had &C
complished, but its own repeated
pledges and often-stated aims"
I'm virtual tidal wave of re-
action" the league said in state
ment, 1.-The administration sponsored
legislation that advances far along
the totalitarian path of forced labor.
1t embraced compulsory arbitration,
perverted the Consumption Act into

quently used by Army officers. Park
officials, not wishing to see that
green space converted into macad-
am or cinders, sought appease-
ment by offering to extend the Gin
der roadway south of the Lincoln
Memorial Rejecting Pool. About
125 cars park along this thorough
fare daily, and by widening and
lengthening it to the Ericsson Mon
ument it could be made to &C
commodate about 345 cars.
The move failed. The Navy De-
partment, they said. spurned it as
only "piecemeal solution of the
problem.
Then the Navy made what was
described as blunt demand" for
parking space for 1000 cars. Cou-
pied with this demand was the
statement that 1.-The Navy was sure
the Army would want the equiva-
lent in space" When these state
ments came to the attention of
Secretary Ickes he backed his peo-
pie in refusing definitely to sane
ZION the proposal.
Opposition Reiterated.
Even the carefully worked out
survey of disable areas is objection
able in many respects to the parks
office, which sought to reiterate that
it is resisting the plan. 1t took
years of agitation to get the green
houses on Constitution avenue re-
moved and to gain approval of a
plan to landscape the area. To turn
that space over for a parking lot
is far from their desires.
The conversion of the Monument
ground area, they claim, would de-
prive hundreds of men, including
departmental baseball teams, of
outdoor sport after working hours.
That space and the Ellipse in the
rear of the White House are the two
most popular recreational areas for
| baseball.
Secretary Ickes made 1t plain that
there is still another reason why no
further use should be made of the
parks for emergency parking Of cars.
AS petroleum administrator, he Is
doing everything possible to con-
serve fuel.
Friday afternoon he called staff
meeting at the Interior Department
to consider a QUESTIONABLE to sub
NIT to all of his employees in the
city. Briefly, it was for the purpose
of finding out how many come to
work in automobiles, how many
passengers are carried in each car
and where they park. He was in
terested in knowing, also, how many
employees could just as conveniently
use the buses or streetcars and
how many actually do use the pub
lie utilities.
Asked about the QUESTIONABLE,
Mr.. Ickes replied that he was in
terested not only in saving motor
fuel but also in relieving the park
ing and traffic congestion in the
downtown areas.
He said that in the neighborhood
of the Interior buildings every
available space for parking had
been put to use and that the streets
are lined with cars.
Problems Nearly Treble.
War Department officials said that
most of the cars parked all day IN
the West Potomac areas belong to
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-06-15

Army and Navy employees, some Of
Since the Navy Department is
standing up for the right of all en-
ployes to use their cars, its parking
problems have nearly trebled since
the start of the defense program.
Its estimate of 1000 cars is based
on II 900 employees. Formerly there
were only few thousand.
The War Department presents a
more formidable parking problem.
With about $4,000 employees in
Washington, a number constantly
increasing, it could easily use con-
| siderably more parking space in
| West Potomac Park than proposed
for it in the survey.
But these are just two depart
ments, the park people remind. The
latest figures for Washington show
that As 900 workers have been added
to Government pay rolls as re-
suit of the defense program. En-
ployment totaled 172,876 in the ex-
ecutive agencies at the end Of April,
according to the Civil Service Com
mission.
Interior officials, realizing the
problem, have permitted the park
ing of cars along all park roadways
downtown, but thus far they have
resisted every effort to make park
ing lots of the established park
greens.
When the defense program started
a year ago, Government officials
charged with providing office quar-
tiers for expanding agencies drew a
sharp line against erecting tenn
porary buildings in eagerly sought
park areas. Under pressure, how
ever, some entertainments have been
made and they fear this pressure
will grow stronger as the emergency
continues.

Return to Plants After
Conference With
Federal Officials

More than 300 executives of the
steel and iron industry returned to
their plants in various sections Of
the country today carrying better
understanding of the defense pro-
gram as the result of a conference
yesterday with Government officials

out at the afternoon session that
manganese was of the greatest i'm
portance in the steel industry and
was the scarcest product. The aver
age steel, he explained, requires
l2.4 pounds of manganese ton.
In aggregate, he added, the industry
needs 100000 tons of manganese a
month.

Alien Roundup Is Launched
In U. S.; Many Are Arrested

Washington.-At least 1859 ali
ems were under arrest ON both
seacoasts this week following a
sudden roundup ordered by the
justice department to seize for
eign seamen and others who were
in this country illegally.
The biggest haul was made by
500 New York detectives, immi-

trolmen who rounded up 90 in
lodging houses, cafes and bars.
These, with "a taken in New Jer-
sey, were locked up at Ellis is
land, most of them on charges of
illegal entry and violation of i'm
migration laws.
Twenty-eight were rounded up
in Florida and Is in San Francis
co and Oakland. Officials at Bos-
ton said the drive there was
highly successful but declined
to disclose the number arrested.
The roundup, launched unex-

ment Saturday night, was said to
be aimed particularly at German
