F. Leroy Hill, president Of the firm,
In a statement said it could be
proved the strike was Communist
inspired.
Mr.. Hill said he told State police
and county officials:
1--WE will obey any law whether we
believe 1t just or unjust, but we will
not bow to recommendations which
we know are detrimental to the ma
tional defense and which were made
by biased boards whose members
have not investigated on the spot
and who have misrepresented the
facts to the Government and to the
public"
The National Defense Mediation
Board has unsuccessfully recon-
mended reinstatement Of 81 striking
c. I. o. workers.
Employees Enter BY Rear.
Pickets, estimated at 5000 by
union leaders, forced temporary
closing Of the plant yesterday. The
marchers later dwindled to 100 and
production was resumed at the plant
when 600 non striking employees en-
tered the plant from the rear.

Of the c. I. o. United Automobile
Workers Of America, asserting I'VE

Mrs. Roosevelt Urges
Youth Groups 10 Seek
Recreation Facilities
Conference Is Told
Its Biggest Contribution
Lies in This Field

Representatives of 40 national
youth organizations were urged by
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt yester-
day to insist on increased recrea-
tional facilities in American COM
munities, particularly in the larger
defense industrial centers.
She said she considered such a
stand the foremost contribution
youth groups could make to the de-
tense program.
The conference, which was held in
the Labor Department, was called
by Mrs. Roosevelt at the request of
Miss Jane Seaver, director Of the
Division of Youth Activities in the
Office of Civilian Defense.
Miss Seaver presented the con-
ference with 10 goals for youth, in
Guiding the achievement Of physl-
cal fitness, increased community
services, learning necessary skillS,
participation in civil protection pro-
grams, provision of services for
young people in the armed forces
and in defense industrial areas, con-
tribution to war relief, conservation
of resources and the participation
of all youth in the defense program.
Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Seaver
both urged the youth representa-
tives to encourage State and local
defense councils and to appoint an
official representative of youth
groups to membership in such
councils.
Chester Williams of the Office of
Education outlined plans of the Fed
eral Security Agency to encourage
forums for the discussion of prob
lens of national interest in schools
and colleges to counteract the prop
uganda technique of subversive ele-
ments.
Miss Wilmer Shields, director of
the division of community volun-
teer service, o. G. D, and Corning
ton Gill, deputy director in charge
of o. c. D. operations, also spoke at

for about 10 years. Today, DR..
Gelb told the American Oriental
Society, it can be considered as
finished. He and at least two other
men in the world can read Hittite.
The result is astounding. Here
is close to the mother language of
nearly all the tongues of present.
day Europe, especially of Latin and
Greek For more than a century
SanSkrit has been studied as the
closest approach to the original
Indo-E European tongue. Hittite is
about 1000 years earlier.
One Hittite word recently de-
ciphered is "watar." 1t means
water" Another is "es." 1t means
"is." A Goth century American
transported in some strange time
machine to the land of the Hittites
might recognize a word of his
mother tongue here and there.
Thousands of years afterwards
came the Greeks and the Romans,
speaking divergent dialects of the
same tongue, and passing them on
to Northern Europe.
And it all goes back to the broken
silver seal in the Baltimore mu-
scum.

Hiffife Language
Reconstructed From
Broken Silver Seal
Lawrence Of Arabia
Laid Cornerstone for
knowledge Of Aneients
BY THOMAS r. HENRY
Star staff Correspondent.

CHICAGO, April 16.-The mys-
terry of the silver seal was described
here today.
It is one of the most thrilling de-
tective stories of the age with Arab
bandits, the late Col. T. E. Law
renee, one of the great empires of
the ancient world, and the origin
of the English language mixed to-
gether in a strange hodgepooge.
The tale goes back about 5000
years-before the first stones were
laid in Egypt's pyramids. There
were three mighty world empires.
Along the Nile stretched Egypt. In
Mesopotamia was opulent Baby
lonia. But covering what is now
Asiatic Turkey was perhaps the
greatest of all, motherland OF
humane law. of art and poetry, OF
the common speech of modern
Europe. an empire that loved peace
but could fight we'll as Egyptians
and Babylonians learned to their
sorrow. This was the land OF the
Hittites.
Lawrence Started Work.
The empire disintegrated and was
forgotten. About the beginning OF
the goth century a few scholars be-
came interested in it. It had, as
did Egypt. a hieroglyphic writing.
This was incised on seals, on walls
and monuments. One of the few
Hittite archeologists was the late
Lawrence of Arabia and the source
material which he gathered before
the first World War, laboring with
nick and shovel under the not
Turkish sun, remains a cornerstone
of the structure which has been
erected.
Nearly so years ago an English
ercheologist picked up a fragment
of a silver seal, used by one OF
the Hittite kings, and without real
izing that it had any significance,
had it photographed. Very shortly
thereafter, it appears, the seal was
stolen.
Writings Unreadable.
Now Hittite writings were COM
oletely unreadable. There was ao-
solutely no clue to the language.
scholars labored for so years with
out even getting start. They trleo
to compare it with Egyptian, Chi
nese, Peruvian, T1oetan.
The nearest to a clue were the
nhotoeraphs of this missing silver
seal, the great seal of Tarkondemas,
property of Tarqumuva, KING OF
Mesa. Around its border was an
inscription in the cuneiform writ
ing of Babylonia, which had oeen
deciphered. Inside were Hlttl1e
hieroglyphics. From a comparison
of the two one symbol could be
interpreted-a triangle with cross
bars standing for city
A few years ago, it was revealed
today by DR.. I. j. Gelb OF the Uni
versity of Chicago, one of the three
men in the world who can actually
read Hittite, the lost seal turned ur

unrecognized, in a mlscellaneou:
collection of Near East antiquities.
Since then, DR.. Gelb said, syl
liable by syllable, Hittite has beer

Symbol Aids Scholars.
It was known that on Egyptian
and Babylonian seals a symbol fol
"city" usually was followed by th'
name of the city. The name OF th'
town which had stood near where
this seal was found could be fount
from other records. That put th'
scholars in possession of two O
three Hittite letters. These, in turn
when fitted into words, revealed
other letters.
