Littleton . r. Six-year old Joan
Hadley, of Littleton, N. H., was in the
habit of telephoning her father, Fire
Chief H. Edgar Hadley, daily for a
chat. So, when she came in from play
one day recently and found her mother,
Mrs. Florence Hadley, and her sister,
Ruth, unconscious, she went to the
telephone, called her father, and told
him that they had tainted. Chief
Hadley sounded an alarm and dashed
to the house with an inhalator. The
firemen revived the mother and daugh-
ter and two other persons, who were
suffering from carbon monoxide
poisoning.

phone wire in the United States than
in all the rest of the world put to-
gether. In this country there is nearly
1000 feet of wire for every man,
woman and child, whereas there is an
average of only slightly over 200 feet
of telephone wire per capita in the
rest of the world.

Wuqner Act Decision

While the Supreme Court decision
in the Virginia Electric and Power
Company case emphasizes the right
of employers to discuss controversial
labor issues with employees, it is
made equally clear that certain rules
OF conduct must surround the exer-
else of such freedom of expression
if it is not to run afoul Of the Wagner
Act.
What the unanimous decision read
by Justice Murphy seemingly boils
down to is that free discussion is
permissible only so long as it is not
projected against a background Of
anti-unionism.
The court laid down this principle
in denying enforcement of a Labor
Board order directing dissolution of
so-called company union repre-
senting employees of the utility COM
pany. The board had relied heavily
on a company bulletin and speeches
by officials to support charges that
the employe organization was COM
any-dominated and that the work.
ers had been coerced into member
ship. The Supreme Court said, how
ever, that these factors, standing
alone, were not enough to sustain
the boards position, and that
bulletin and speeches must be shown
as the component parts of chain of
circumstances with anti-union i'm
plications if the charges were to
stand.
Neither the act nor the boards
order here enjoins the employer from
expressing its view on labor policies
or problems" the court said.
The decision is important insofar
as it may serve as a guide for en-
ployers in discussing union matters
with employees, this phase Of the
Wagner Act having heretofore lacked
authoritative treatment.

Open City

The strange spectacle yesterday OF
waves of Japanese bombers flying
over Manila without dropping bombs,
and of American aircraft bat
teries withholding fire, undoubtedly
was a feeling out process, designed to
test each others good faith in con-
nection with the expected declaration
that the Philippine capital is an
open city" A few hours later the
formal declaration was issued. Under
the open city" proclamation, both
belllgerentS are called upon to keep
clear OF the city proper, thus remov-
ing it from the category of potential
military objectives listed as legitimate
targets for bombing, shelling or other
attack. The purpose, Of course, is to
spare the n-combatant population
the horrors Of modern blitz warfare.
The arrangement works both ways as
regards the combatant forces, for the
would be saved for future use by
whichever side ultimately wins the
battle of the Philippines.
General Douglas Macarthur, COM
manding American forces in the
Philippines, already has left his
Manila headquarters to take personal
charge OF his troops in the field.
Abandonment Of Manila as a seat
OF military operations was a neces-
sary prerequisite to declaring the
capital an open city. Removal OF the
government also is under way, in
accordance with provisions of The
Hague Convention OF 1907, which
described a military objective as
IAN object Of which the destruc-
ton or injury would constitute
distinct military advantage to the
belligerent." Certainly the destruc-
ton of a seat Of government could
come within this definition.
However, rules of warfare as de-
fined in conventions and treaties
frequently have been ignored by
war-mad aggressors. Rotterdam was
declared open" shortly before the
Nazi Luftwaffe razed the big Dutch
city in a ruthless demonstration of
aerial "Schrecklichkeit" (frightfuI-
ness. Belgrade, although declared
an open city, suffered severe damage
by air. The Germans prefer to make
their own decisions as to whether a
city should be classed as military or
non-military. They spared Paris,
which has served them as comfort
able and convenient headquarters in
occupied France. In view of their
past record of faithlessness and
treachery, it is likely that the Japa-
nese will regard Manila as an open
city only if it suits their purposes
to do so. If they are confident that
they will become masters Of Luzon,
the chances are that Manila will
escape methodical destruction.

1t Belongs Here

NO Government plan recently an
nounced, including even the always
highly controversial departmental
reorganization orders, has evoked
the unanimity of protest that has
followed announcement of the pro-
posed transfer of the Patent Office
to New York. A negligible part of
this protest has been based on senti-
mentality, or the wholly human and
understandable reluctance of those
affected to accept personal incOn-
venience. Most of the opposition has
been based on the manifest imprac-
ticability of the scheme, the uneco-
nomic aspects of the transfer and the
unwisdom Of taking this permanent
repository of scientific achievement
out of the Capital, where it belongs,
and dumping it in available Office
space in another city.
Defense agencies in Washington
now have the right of way, and that
Is logical and understandable. But
merely because an agency has been
formed to deal with some aspect of
national defense, it does not follow
that the agency's activities super
sede in Importance many of the
established and vitally important
Government agencies which also
have new parts to play in national
defense. 1t would be much wiser to
move some of the defense agencies
from Washington than to tear up by
their roots other permanent agencies
whose functions may lack the dra-
matte color and novelty of brand
new creations of untried value. The
Patent Office is even more important
in time of war than in peace, and
its functions in peace have never
been underestimated by intelligent
people 1t belongs and should re-
main in the National Capital.
It is to be hoped that the transfer
will be abandoned as a most unwise
and injurious move. And it is also
to be hoped, when other trans
fers are announced later, that they
will be based on a discerning ap-
praisal Of the consequences involved.
The choice of the Patent Office for
transfer seems to have been based on
the fact that 1t occupies desirable
quarters in the Capital which some
body else's organization might use
to ADVANTAGE

Synthetic Rubber

Approval by the Supply Priorities
and ALLEGATIONS Board of a program
to increase the production of syn
thetic rubber is a necessary step to
prevent shortage of rubber-a stra-
tegic material of vital importance
in the war effort. The United States
is dependent on the Far East for
approximately 81 per cent of it's
supplies of crude rubber. BY ra-
tioning, and a curtailment of civil
ian consumption, stocks now on hand
should be sufficient to meet the re-
qulrements of our armed forces for
several years, even if imports from
the Pacific are completely cut off.
Since the war is likely to be a long
ore, it is essential that other sources
of rubber be developed without de-
lay, thus lessening our dependence
on shipments from the Far East.
In 1910, consumption of rubber in
the United States amounted to ap-
proximately $4,000 tons. Until the
Government acted to curtail civilian
use, consumption this year was run
ming above the 1910 level. Though
several American companies are
manufacturing synthetic rubber, the
output is still but a fraction of our
total needs. New plants. with an
annual canacitv Of an 000 tons are
now under construction. Federal
Loan Administrator Jones has pre-
pared plans to expand these facih-
ties to secure an output Of 10000
