Captured in Canada

PENINSULA, Ontario, April 21.-
Three escaped German prisoners
of war were captured near this
Canadian Pacific Railway station
house in the night and observers
here said they believed only of
the % men who broke from the
dominion's most isolated intern
ment camp Friday night still were
at large today.
OTTAWA officials said they had
heard of the capture of only Is
of the Germans, of whom were
wounded, but an official of the
internment operations branch
said information is coming in
slowly.")
The new captures brought to eight
the number caught near this wind
and snow swept point between
Schneider and White River and an
unofficial list of 19 in custody. Re-
ports here said three others were
killed when they fed on being
challenged by armed searchers.
The possibility that even more of
the prisoners may be dead was ex-
pressed by bushmen, who said they
doubted any one could live in the
snowy desolation.
Armed soldiers are engaged in the
search. Three prisoners have been
reported shot fatally and two others
wounded.

Southern New Jersey, where 68
homes were destroyed and property
damage was estimated up to $1,000
900. In Lakewood, a winter resort,
IS dwellings were razed by licking
flames.
Vzevelon Glazoff, So, died of a
heart attack while trying to save
his burning Lakewood home. George
Knight of Centralia, w. Va, either
was burned to death or killed by
a falling tree as he fought flames
nearby.
Other States where blackened
tree stumps marked the paths of
fires were Massachusetts, Vermont,
Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland
and Virginia. In West Virginia, $50
separate blazes were reported.
Sparks from picnic fires, cigarettes
and railroad locomotives were all
that was needed to set the flames,
authorities said, and in one case
wildlife was observed, unwittingly
spreading them.
Blazing Rabbit Ignites Underbrush.
This was in New Jersey, where
Col. w. G.. Schauffier, United States
Army, retired, reported seeing a
rabbit with blazing fur and tail,
dart across highway and ignite
dry underbrush on the other side.
Six hundred Fort Devens, Mass,
soldiers, fighting a fire in nearby
Leominster, were recalled to the
Army post to beat out flames near
the 366th Infantry barracks and the
rifle range. Twenty thousand troops
are quartered at Fort Devens.
Fourteen soldiers stationed at Fort
Dix, N. j., were injured when a truck
in which they were speeding to fire
duty overturned.
Thousands of acres of Pennsyl-
vania timberland were burned over.
The largest fires were in Fayette
County, southeast of Pittsburgh,
where 700 men battled in an 5000
acre mountain tract, and in the
Pocono Mountains, near Scranton.
More than 40 other blazes were re-
ported, many of them under con-
troll.

Mr.. Peterson and his entire staff
were in the field directing the battle
against the fires. Aiding them were
hundreds of Civilian Conservation
Corps enrollees and volunteers.
Ten persons nearly surrounded
by fire at Brightwater Beach took
to rowboats on Nabb's Greek, rowing
into Stony Creek to escape the
flames. Skipper of the escape by
water was Patrick Mccarthy.

and percussion caps from a garage
lest the intense heat explode it, and
buried it safely in a deep hole.
Smoke from forest fire in the
southern end of the Dismal Swamp
drifted over Norfolk and caused a
bombardment of telephone calls of
inquiry to newspapers, city police,
fire headquarters and radio stations.

HiIIman Sees Era
OF Better Accord OF
Labor, Management
Cooperation Nations
Greatest Asset in
Emergency, He Says
By TIT Associated Press.

By tht Associated Press.
Sidney Hillman, associate director
of the Office of Production Manage
ment, told a Senate Committee to-
day he believed I'VE are going into
an era of even greater collaboration
between management and labor"
I'VE have got today spirit of full
cooperation, he testified to COM
mittee investigating the national
defense program.
Mr. .Hillman said he regarded 1t
"very unfortunate" that few labor
disputes which had led to work
stoppages had attracted public at
tention while many disputes which
were settled amicably went un-
noticed.
If people are led to believe that
there are groups of labor that don't
cooperate" he said, ut undermines
national defense. 1t undermines the
morale of the people"
Urgency Of Speed.
Mr.. Hillman declared that most
people don't realize how urgent it
is for speedy action" and that 'in
"a hours, if something should hap
pen, all the gains of labor would
be gone" He did not elaborate
but apparently deferred to the effect
on labor of the loss of a democra-
tic form of government.
Labor, he said, knows what is
at stake" and has so much at stake
in the defense program" that any
failure would hit labor harder, II
that Is possible, than it would hi
other groups"
The Nations greatest asset in the
present emergency is cooperation,
Mr.. Hillman said, and added:
With cooperation, we can outdc
and out-build any totalitarian sys.
tenn based on coercion"
Opposes Jurisdictional Disputes.
In response to questions he sale
he believed there was mo justifica.
ton whatever for any jurisdictiona,
| disputes" within labor.
He expressed confidence in the
work of the National Mediation
Board as means of settling anc
preventing strikes and said he op-
posed legislation to require a cool
ing off" period in labor disputes.
Legislation, he declared, Ought
not to be tried while cooperation
works-and believe it will work.
He said strikes ARE becoming
less rather than more numerous"
Becoming Shorter.
Mr.. Hillman said defense strike.
were becoming shorter in theil
duration and at present, outside O
the coal industry, there are only
about $4,000 workers on strike il
the whole range of national de-
fense.' Two weeks ago he had sale
only 5000 defense workers were or

He said the small number OF
strikes may be regarded as re-
markable, for it is a well-establishec
fact that increases in fAdustria,
activity are regularly marked by in
creases in work stoppages through
industrial disputes"
The defense program, he said
has resulted in the employment Of
more than 100000 industrial
workers.

Japan Sees
 The Handwriting

Tn situation in the Far East iS very delicate, with the Japanese probably convinced, for the frs time, that the United States iS ready to take all risk necessary to put an end to further aggres- sion.
 While there is no way for the layman to know the position of the United States has probably. been made plain to Japan. The Tokyo statesmen now know that, regardless of their Axis alliance, they will have to face the Ameri- can fleet as well as British forces in the Far East. They realize, of course, that th-ir alliance with Italy and Germany is a broken stick so far as any help is con- cerned in the Far East.
