 "A full and fair hearing was held before the Presidents Emergency Board as provided by law" said the carriers. and the committees feel that in this time of national emer- geney, in the interests of national defense, and in keeping with the Presidents address to the delegates Of the international labor office, the boards recommendations should be accepted"

One Billion Dollars Is Loaned To Russia
gress; This Loan Requires No Interest; How It Will Be Paid
BY H. o. THOMPSON

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington. Nov. 7.-CUP)-The Soviet Unions celebration of the anniversary of the Red Revolution today was cheered by 1000, ,000, 900 American loan and the moral sup- port of President Roosevelt in her defensive war with Germany.
 President Roosevelt's pledge Ito do everything possible" for the Soviet Union and the delayed repayment loan without interest added sparkle to the reception to be held at the Soviet embassy late today in conn memoration of the 24th anniversary of the revolution.
 Congressional reaction to the huge loan, arranged by MT. Roosevelt and Premier Staiin. was along the lines already formed on foreign pol- icy issues.
 Chairman Tom Connally, d., Tex, of the senate foreign relations com mittee and Chairman Sol Bloom, D., N. r., of the house foreign af- fairs committee were "gratified" and thought 1t good thing. They ex- pressed the views of administration supporters.
 Senators Gerald P. Nye, R., N. D., and Robert A. Taft, R.. Ohio. spoke for the Presidents opponents. Taft charged the administration with re- pudiatlng a promise made on Oct. @ that nothing for Russia was con- temp.ated in the new lend-lease bill.
 Nye said: "What 8 jolly fellow santa Is and what a long way we have come since We passed the lend- lease bill. Then 1t was to aid de- mocracy. Now here we are giving Brother Joe one billion smackers. !"
 The capitals great and near great --an estimated 5000 of theni-will gather at the Soviet embassy this afternoon to nibbge crackers iiber- ally spread with caviar and sip champagne and vodka. The en- phasls will be on the diplomatic, economic and military developments of the last 24 hours between the Soviet Union and the United states.

Defense Production Must Be Accelerated; Rails,
 WeIders Worst Now
By United PressD

Labor received a series of gov- srnment appeals to maintain and accelerate defense production today while the California Aircraft Weld er's strike and the railway wage controversy appeared the most ser. lous disputes threatening the de- gense program.
 Representatives Of S50,O00 oper- ating railroad employees, dissatisfied with the wage recommendations ot President Roosevelt's finding board. continued comforting today to determine what action should be taken on the boards report.
 After a meeting yesterday, officials of the "big five" operating brother hoods said no strike date had been set but that one probably would be chosen today. A membership poll al- ready has authorized strike action to win wage demands.
 No Strike Until December 5
 A strike could not be called. how ever, before December s. 30 days after the fact-f finding boards report was made public. Mir. Roosevelt is expected to intervene personally if a strike order is issued.
 Representatives of the i4 non-op- erating brotherhoods withheld acc ton and announced the report will be considered at meeting next Wednesday.
 Sidney Hilman, co-director of the office of production management, called the strike of the United Air. craft Welders Union undependentl an @outlaw. wildcat proposition. !" Union members have struck at the Lockheed Vega factories at Bur- bank, Calf, and at the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation at San Diego, Calf.
 Hilman urged non-striking weld CTS to continue working and said he doubted that the companies would need additional aid to maintain op- erations.

 Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Premier Josef V. Stalin joined today In promises of victory with American aid over Axis armies which were reported stalled by wintry weather and Red Army counter-at- tacks on almost the entireA eastern front.
 Stalin, speaking from Red Square, in Moscow on the 24th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, pre- dicted that EIitler's new order would crack up within a year or less.
 Churchill, speaking in a north eastern British town, declared that the efforts of America, Russia and Britain had carried the Allies through the darkest period Of the struggle and that Brituns 'are once more masters og~as1r own destiny.
 An echo of the more confident expressions hy Hitieg's foes sn Esas rope came from China, where < statement by Generalissizao Chian9 Kai-Shek at Chungking promised that the anti-aggression powers would fin the nearest future" seize the initiative in the struggle.
 The declarations, following Pres- ident Roosevelt's call for three~ shift war production in the United States, were made against a back ground of military and diplomatic development stretching from Eu- rope to the shores of the Pacific where Japan, China and Britain were Ynassing troops on 6 large scale.
 Japanese Steamed Up
 The Japanese. apparently buiid- ing up pressure behind Tokypsa Hast effort" to negotiate 6 settie- ment at Washington, was said to have l2o,0o0 troops in Indo-C China ready for thrust at either Thai- land or the Burma road, where 10 Chinese divisions repoTtedly were preparing defenses. One minor bcr- der clash already was reported by Chungking.
 British defenses of Burma have been greatly. strengthened recently and there was a general tendency in the far east Co believe that any Japanese attempt to cut the Burma road to Chungking would be exc tremely dificult.
 In Washington, President Roose~ welt said that the United States was considering withdrawal 0k American Marines from such China stations as Peiping, Tientsin and Shanghai = attachments which would be in 6 hopeless position in event of a war with Japan and therefore normally would be with- drawn if possible in advance of a showdown. Such withdrawal, hove ever, has long been planned by the United States.
 There was nothing in any 0faiciax source to indicate any basis for a German report. allegedly from Tok~ yo, that some 5000 American kxooua were in Burma to relieve Axi1iAh forces and guard the Burma road
 On the eastern front, there wera no definite reports to indicate any

Washington, Nov. 7-lUP)-An- nouncement of a $l,0o0 100000 loan to the Soviet Union was followed today by disclosure that not one but two American military missions will be established in the Middle East to speed supplies to Russia and to British forces.

Sir Claude John Auchlnleck. This one is headed by Brig. Gen. Robert l.. Maxwell. who was export import control administrator until recently. The Iran mission is head ed by Brig. Gen. Raymond A. Wheeler, veteran engineer officer. and will work with Gen. Sir Archs- bald Waveii. British commander in India and Iran.
 Tn event the Red army Is forced back beyond the urals, a third mis- sion probably would be set up tc assist them, wherever necessary.

 in Movie Scandal
BY PRESTON McGRAW


 Limited Press Stan CoErespOndent) New York, Nov. T-(Up)-George E. Browne and William (Fat Williel Bioff, having been convicted of ustrg their powerful labor pnion positions to shake down four motion picture companies for e550.O00, faced maxi mum penalties of 30 years in prison and fines Of S50.0OO each oday.
 A federal jury deliberated an hour and 5S minutes last night and found them guilty of three counts of vio- latirg the anti-racketeering law. Federal Judge John C. Knox, prais- ing the jury for having found what United States Attorney, Matthias F. CoTrea called ''these Chicago hood luris," guilty, revoked their bonds, s50.OO0 each. and ordered them to jail to await sentencing Wednesday. If Judge Knox gives them the maximum penaity-and he indicated no sympathy for them-they would be sent to prison for 90 years each and fined e30.0O0 apiece.
 The bespectacled Browres face reddened when he heard the verdict: His jaws worked conculslvely and tears came into hls eyes. The heavy lowled Bioff,. who had been out- wardly unperturhed throughout the trial, only rubbed an old scar on his chin.
