Italians said that the Axis would make new and determined efforts to sink all ships carrying aid to Britain regardless of their flags.
 The newspaper Popolo Di Roma said that the forthcoming visit to Berlin and Rome by Japanese for eign minister Yosuke Matsuoka is connected directly with the lend lease bill.
 "Matsuoka's visit to the Axis capi- tals evidently is connected with Pa- cific tension and the attitude of the United States regarding the current war;" the newspaper said.
 For some time the United States has been replacing England on the Asiatic continent we welcome the Japanese Foreign Minister as representing an heroic Asiatic people who are our war comrades. We sa- lute him as 6 brother in a liberat- ing victory"

STRIKES ARE TO

(Continued from Page D ing union leaders to call a strike as they saw fit.
 Vincent McKenna, president of the union local, and @ union commit tee, went to Pittsburgh last week. end to confer with officials at the company's main office after failure of negitiations between union rep- resentatives and E. H. Grotefend, superintendent of the Edgewater plant.
 The Pittsburgh conference was held Monday. The strike was called immediately after the committee returned here last night.
 Police said a few men remained at work in parts of the plant after the sheet mill workers left. It was not learned immediately whether they were union members and if they were, why they had not been called out.
 Orderly picketing was in prog ress in front of the three gates to the plant and only a few of the 1000 men who usually report at 7:30 a. m. walked past the picket line. No attempt wa smade to stop them.
 Police reported the strike was orderly and confirmed the union claim that between 5o and 90 per cent of the workers supported the walkout.
 New York Bus Strike
 New York, March 12-(UP)- Mayor F. H. LaGuardia hoped to confer today with Allan Haywood, national director of organization for the Congress of Industrial Organi- zations, in an attempt to bring pressure on the Transport Workers union (CIO) to settle the bus strike.
 The strike of $500 bus company employees, immobilizing 95 per cent of Manhattan borough's surface transportation, was in deadlock. The two operating companies con- cerned, the Fifth Avenue and New York Omnibus companies, withdrew last night an offer to negotiate with the union for the extension of @ contract which expired Feb. 28.
 Union spokesmen said at 8 mass meeting last night that the strike would continue until the company submitted counter proposals to union demands for 25 per cent wage increases and other benefits.
 The Dies committee Investigating n-American activities charged in Washington that the strike was a preview of a Communist-inspired attempt to plunge the country in- to as much chaos as the Communist party is able to produce"
 The committees statement re- called testimony by Thomas O'Shea, first vice. president of the T. w. U., and others, at its hearings a year ago charging that Michael J. Quill, head of the T. w. U., and former New York city councilman, was a Communist.

Steel Strike Coming

Buffalo, N. Y, March 12-(UP)- Nathan E. Cowan, Steel Workers Organizing committee (CIO) sub- regional director, said today that a "very distinct possibility" exists that a second strike will be called within two weeks at the Bethlehem Steel corporations Lackawanna plant.
 The plant, which has large na- tional defense orders, was paralyzed 38 hours by strike late last month. The walkout, affecting l3000 work CTS, was halted by truce proposed by the office of production manage ment.
 Cowan, reiterating a charge that the plant management has refused to confer with SWOC representa- tives as provided by the OPM truce terms, announced that mass meeting of workers will be held to- morrow night.
