The c. I. o. charged, however
that yesterday when the strikers re-
turned to the plant the company
failed to abide by terms of the set
tlement and attempted to make
them sign reinstatement forms which
they contended would deprive them
of their former positions and pay
1t was the third strike at the

Mr. Roosevelt charged in his
speech last night that the Berlin
government has prepared map
which would turn IA countries of
South and Central America into
five newly bounded vassal states.
Telling his press conference that
the map at that very moment was
on his desk in front of reporters, the
President said it was keyed and
annotated in such way that its pub
lie reproduction would permit Ger
man authorities to trace its source
A result. he explained, might be the
elimination of that source for
further American information.
Ridicules Berlin'S Reaction.
Mr.. Roosevelt also took occasion
today to ridicule the Berlin reac-
ton to his address, holding up car
bon copies of comment from the
German capital and describing it as
a scream"
If reporters desired to improve
their vocabulary, the Chief Execu-
tive said with a laugh, they could
find plenty of material in the quoted
comment from Berlin today.
Reminded that Nazi authorities
were making the charge that the
purported map is a fraudulent doc
ument. Mr.. Roosevelt said perhaps
his best answer would be to recall
that a short while ago they were
seriously claiming that he. per-
sonally, had torpedoed the U. S. S.
Kearny.
Questioned about this torpedoing
incident, the President said that
photos of the destroyer, which made
port safely after being struck by a
torpedo and losing II of its crew.
showed that it had been very nearly
cut in two by a torpedo hitting on
the starboard side and emerging
through the port-side plates.
Surrounded by Flotilla.
The Kearny was hunting subma-
rines at the time, Mr. Roosevelt said
and was in the midst of a scattered
f1otilla of other ships. A short while
before, he went on, convoy had
been attacked.
Mr.. Roosevelt opened his confer
ence by noting that today is the
first anniversary of the Italian at
tack on Greece, which he described
as another example of a completely
unwarranted assault upon a small
and exceedingly brave nation.
AS questioning led him into a
discussion of the secret German
map. the President also told the
conference it had not yet been made
available to Latin American authori-
ties and that such might be done
only in the strictest of confidence.
The President also was questioned
about the alleged German plan for
abolishing all existing religions and
their replacement by an interna-
tional Nazi church. He said he did
not know whether this proposal is
the same as one which the Christian
Science Monitor few days ago had
claimed to be in existence in Berlin
