WASHTNGTON-T That isolation ist-packeo Senate Interstate com merce suk committee appointed py Senator Burt Wheeler to investigate war propaganda" in the moves and radio may get more than IL is bargaining for when it tackles the movie makers.
 They haven't advertised 1t, but they are quietly preparing to give the committee a hot head-on re- ception on all issues it undertakes to raise.
 One of the surprises up their sleeve is to have Wendell Willkie as their spokesman and legal coun- sel.
 The Republican leader is an old hand in dealing with congressional committees. Before he entered the political arena he faced many of them and the repute he won battl- ing them had lot to do with his meteoric rise in politics.
 A militant anti-isolationist, Will lkie also has strong personal feel ings about Wheeler's hand-picked committee. Willkie considers it a sneak investigation and part Of an organized isolationist drive to terrorize opponents into silence.
 The charge of sneak investiga- ton appears well founded. The Senate has not authorized the probe, the committee has no power to subpoena anyone, and is oper- ating wholly on Wheeler's say so as chairman of the Interstate Com merce committee. Four of five members he appointed are fellow isolationist zealots and the fifth, Mcfarland of Arizona, is a rookie of only seven months Senate ex- perience.
 Further as if this biased set-up were not enough, the committee is secretly trying to pick its vic tims". It has carelessly selected cer- tain movie executives for question ing, apparently with the intention of not permitting others to be heard.

The German thrust towards Mos COW has been stopped and already 10000 Germans have been slain in the great battles on rain drenched fields. This is the assertion made by the Russian High Command.
 The German High Command re- ports the destruction ot up to 100 Soviet ships, mostly transport laden with troops fleeing alter the capture of Tallin, Capital City of Estonia.
 Rival claims of victories came as both Axis and Allies acknowledged shortages in vital sinews of war. Rome dispatches said starp Axis needs are oil and other raw mater ials.
 Major topics discussed by Hitler and Mussolini at the five day con- ference at Hitler's headquarters. are asserted to have covered many subjects including means of safe- guarding the continent against the possibility of British-American liiFdotOil.
 The German newspapers are busy extolling the conference of the two Dictators as sealing Axis plans for permanent peace in Europe.
 It is asserted that Hitler and Mussolini dealt with the American Japanese relations but nothing def mite regarding plans of assisting the Nippons is announced.
 Hitler and Mussolini, 1t is said, declared there is sufficient food supplies for all needs.
 Mussolini. it is also said, has agreed to supply as many Italian soldiers and workers as Hitler re- quires in view of the tremendous loss of Germans in the present war.

vice" to Vultee workers were in- strumental in settling that strike. Then too, he has a four-man com- mittee (two A. F. of L. and two c. I. O. to iron out jurisdictional disputes. Finally, there are his personal contacts. Tn one near row between rival longshoreman union heads Joe Ryan and Harry Bridges, Hillman got Ryan on the phone and informed him: Look here, Joe, you can't do that -.
 Against business, Hillman has a legal weapon. There is penalty clause that may be invoked against a manufacturer for late delivery. To date, Hillman has only invoked it once.
 But above and beyond all these. Sidney Hillnan knows business and thus is an ideal co-pilot, with William s. Knudsen, of the na- tional defense drive.

It has often helped them WOrk IuOTG 6luC1c1lGly 1OA, dS 1A1A- man once said: There is no chance to bargain efficiently with an em- ployer whose business is not pros porous, and it cannot be prosperous if efficient production is lack ing" Labor, says Hillman, must be industry conscious"
 FIilman also knows something about banking, real estate, and in- surance. In 1922, Amalgamated started system of unemployment insurance for its members and also started two banks - one in New York and Chicago. More recently it built cooperative housing pro- ject in the Bronx for its higher income members. And last year Am algamated successfully experiment ted with Life and Health 1nsur- ance Company for union members. FANCY APARTMENT

 But his newest job is gigantic one at best, and Sidney Hillman approaches it with healthy respect.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-01-31

When the Amalgamaterd Cloth ing Workers beloved and beleag- uered Sidney RIllman took the job of No. 2 National Defense Commis- sioner, knowing WashingtonianS dubbed him Sidney-on-the-Spot.
 They pointed out, and not with out reason, that no matter which way he turned he would be criti- cized. If he held out for labor's interest, industry would Hay him. If industry gained an upper hand. he would be called betrayer of the labor movement.
 For in Hillman's hands rests double duty - or maybe double moral responsibility is 8 better phrase.
 Firt, it behooves him to see labor is available so that the $10.- 400 100000 (plus $5,0O0,000,000 for a two-ocean navy) appropriated in 1940 can be used.
 Second, he must see to it that the labor gains of the New Deal are preserved during a time of na- tional crisis.

 That's a formidable assignment but Hillman is man who says he can straighten out any difficult ty in 48 hours if both parteis are reasonable. If they are not, he has several weapons. Against labor he has the threat of calling out public opinion. His strong words of ad-
