 Meanwhile, the Russians acknow- ledged the Crimea is in danger but declared German advances there cost the Nazis 90,000 killed and wounded in the past few days and asserted the Red troops are con- tinuing to fight bitterly on the stra- tegic Black Sea peninsula.

WASHINGTON = Tt@re was m inside reason why Roosevelt spoke with particular vigor when, in his Navy Day speech, he declared: Our nation will and must speak from every assembly line yes. from every coal mine T )ur vast machine"
 That reason, he told the Arkan- sas congressional delegation next morning, was the fact .hat his son, Franklin, had telephoned him from Iceland just before he made his speech
 Franklin told me that the boys on his ship were very much con cerned about the coal strike called by John L. Lewis" the President informed the Arkansas congress men.
 He said: Pop, there's not man on my ship who isn't 100 per cent behind you in opening up the coal mines They all want you to go after John L. Lewis because they're ready to give their lives for thei' country, if necessary, and they be- lieve that the folks back home should do their part by keeping defense production going at ton speed. And that goes for me too Pop"
 The Presidents voice showed thas he had been moved by his sons i'hone call; and Representative E c. c'TookD Gathings. also deeply moved, replied: You tell young Franklin and those other fine young Americans with him ti.at Congress won't let them down. And we won, permit Lewis or anyone else to let them down. MT. President"
 Thanks. Took, :, the President replied. "Lewis's position is inde- fensible. He can make all the high flown speeches he wants to about Wall Street, but he can't deny that he, John L. Lewis, is obstructing the defense program by closing those mines
 unfortunately, there isn't much that I, as President. can do about it if Lewis refuses to cooperate There was no difficulty in taking over the strike-clcsed Kearny ship yard and in sending the Army to keep order in that West Coast airplane plant.

 That hemisphere is a great half circle' which centers at Tokyo and with a radius that extends 2,2O0 miles westward to Lake Baikal; 1000 miles southward to Canton; and 2,2O0 miles north ward to include the bulk of Kam- chatka Peninsula.
 The army and the navy have been champing at the bits-es- pecially the army-since 1890, to break out of the Japanese islands, and bring the Japanese hemisphere into reality.
 The army first got its way in 1895 in the war against China Helpless China gave up the Ko- rean Peninsula, and set the Jap snese for the next step toward their coveted hemisphere. Ten years later they burst through the restraints of Japanese states men again and fought war with Russia. Out of it Japan increased her hold on Korea, and grabbed the Kwantung Peninsula. She go. the southern half of Sakhalin Is- land, too, with its valuable fish cries and oil.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Presi- dent Roosevelt may be having a little trouble with his revision of the Neutrality Bill to permit the arming of merchant vessels, but it can't be any worse than President Wilson had with a similar measure 24 years ago.
 Some of the pieces in the pres ent pattern seem to fit exactly those of nearly quarter of a cen tury ago. In those days, it was called the Armed Neutrality bill. The House had passed it by big ma jority tHouse passage of the 1917 bill was unprecedented for a controversial measure. The vote was 403 to 13)

Labor Board Decides For Local 3 Of Electrical
 Workers Union

BROOKLYN, N. Y.-Reversing a ruling by Regional Director Fillmore M. Herrick, the N.L.R.B. ordered the Marks Products Co. to dissolve the Marks Products Employees Assn, which the board characterized as a company union.
 The board acted as a strike by Local B. Intl. Bro. of Electrical Work CTS (A.F.L), entered its second year. As a result of the order, negotiations will get under way almost immedi- ately, Business Agent Samuel Dob bins predicted.
