BOOM BREAKS MARE ISLAND
 1S14-21 RECORD
Projects At Navy Yard Triple Population
 To 6O,0OO

Vallejo, Cal, July 23.--(UP)-- This city, home of the Mare Island Navy Yard, Is in the greatest boom of its history.
 It has been through booms be- fore notably the World War pe- riod which lasted from 1913 to 1921.
 But this boom promises to be the one that will out-boom all others for all time to come.
 The population has tripled, from 10000 to 60,000 and the town has become a township.
 Federal, state and municipal au- thorities are striving in every pos sible manner to meet the criiss in housing, feeding, schooling, sleep- ing and other fields. The only thing that makes their load lit- tie lighter is that everyone has plenty of money.
 Payroll Grows Steadily
 The payrolls at the navy yard now carry 19,000 names and 1000 more are beinug added monthly. Thrifty housewives who have a spare bedroom can make their pin money or increase the family capital-by renting 1t to three men for eight-hour periods of the en- time 24 hours, the men coming from the day, night and early morning shifts.
 Those who are lucky enough to get a room for the full 24 hours pay $1250 a week and get two meals daily for $8 a week. As they make $58 a week they can afford this outlay.
 Automobiles from 20 different states take up every inch of un- used space in the city and the latest traffic survey shows 2,0oo cars an hour streaming past one intersection.
 Federal Housing Added
 More than 4,000 Federal housing units are being constructed on the outskirts of the city. The Federal government will also help the state and city in providing school facili- ties in August for 7,500 children instead of the usual 4,500.
 1AC CLlt4NASIl 4IOIu UIlS OuLS1QG at present say life is not so hot" But one reported it was just as much fun as when his dad" worked on defense prospects, else- where.
 Three-room cabins rent for $60 a month and homes from $75 up. Trailers cost from $50 to $500.
 Stalking space, not including gas and light bills, costs 8 a week when there Is any.
 Food Deliveries Made
 Trailers in all the inhabited ter- ritory about the city keep resi- dents supplied with ice, eggs, but ter, meats, vegetables, bakery and other products without forcing anyone to have to Ego to town" or ito the store" to fill their needs.
 Banks have had to double and triple their staffs to take care of the payrolls.
 Despite all this activity, one cab driver reported that the town is dead. There's only a few stud and poker games left" he declared,

OPM order, production in the six months beginning Aug. IS limited to 80 per cent of output in the first six months of the l941 model sea- son. Since the lions share of output occurred in. the latter half of the production year, MT. Carlton esti- mates that curtailment this fall will actually amount to & 38 per cent re- duction from levels in recent months.
 Labor has stepped into the arena, accusing government and industry of denying 1t legitimate representa- ton in formulating policies, and relegating 1t to "the role of a ser- want to merely carry out orders, and suffering the consequences of poli- cies which 1t was granted no part in formulating" The international executive board of the UAW-CIO adopted a resolution urging that a joint conference representing auto- mobile management, labor and the government be held to work out a program to avoid "disIocation of the industry"
 The UAW-CIO is not satisfied that the auto industry has done its level best defensewise. and 1t is ready to make cracks at the government, the army and the navy for the manner in which the defense program has been handled. Plenty of evidence has been secured to use in the joint conference proposed. If that confer efce is side-stepped, the union find- ingS will be carried to the admins tration and the public.
 Meanwhile, it Is stated, in Wash ington OPM is endeavoring to set up an automobile advisory defense committee, and has already ap- pointed passenger and truck representatives. Eight additional members from the parts industry will be chosen after a meeting of 60 to TO firms representing that indus try. It shall be the duty of this ad- visory committee to suggest alloca- ton of pro f.ction among the sev- eral manufacturers under a new and more drastic curtailment pro- gram given consideration because of the materials supply question. No indication of the amount of further curtailment has yet been received by the auto industry. Sidney Hillman is attempting to set up 8 'iabor ad- visory committee" to parallel the manufacturers committee. OPACs is working independently on the problem. Leon Henderson called & meeting last Tuesday of repTesen- tatives of the auto firms to discuss allocation of materials. chose to ig- noTe the OPM advisory committee already partially established. and left the impression upon Detrolt's representatives that further euFtaiI- ment in production may soon Dc ordered.

well formulated designs for the conquest and future administra- ton of Russia was carefully plan ned. Schools were organized with courses training the White Rus- sians for their prospective roles as administrators of Russian prov inces. In Berlin, a White Russian paper, Novoye Slovo, made it's ap- peararlce. It soon became the propaganda center for German or- ientation of all right-wing Rus- sian emigres.
 The platform of Che Russian National Socialist group contain ed all the principles of the Ma tional Socialist program: the ne- gation of democracy as a degen- crate form of government, ruth less suppression, liquidation of the Soyiets and all other Communist organizations, restoration of pri- vate property, etc. Militant anti Semitism was, of course, one of It's major tenets.
 In the formulation of all these points, the Russian National So- cialsits merely aped the princi- pies of the German Nazi party.
 In an important respect, how ever, the Russian government dif- 'ered from that of It's German pro- yenitor. The German National So- ,ialist Party is predicated on the principle of nationalist pride and German racial superiority. Its Rus- !an underlings, on the other hand,

Strong Opposition
 To Auto Curtailment
Feared Widespread Unemployment Unavoidable Under
 Original OPM Program

Detroit, July 2S.-Powerful opposi- ton has arisen to the governments avowed determination to curtail auto production once more, especial ly since 1t is feared that widespread temporary unemployment Is un- avoidable even under the original OPM program, reports the Detroit correspondent of American Machir- ist. More observers agree that de- fense will not reach high employ. ment rate until winter. On the other hand, 1t is stated, labor needs on de. fense work assigned to the automo- tive industry will be insufficient even by next June to absorb all of the workers who will lose jobs from the original cut in production for the 1922 season. Auto companies are eX- erting strong pressure on the gov" ernment for defense contracts to take up slack in employment and make use of facilities, but orderly letting of contracts requires rather long period of time.
 Gov. Van Wagoner of Michigan has appealed to the president to avoid sharp curtailment in auto production with the onset of the 1922 model season, and asks that the original 40 per cent cut not be exceeded. Basis for the governors plea lay in report made to him by c. c. Carlton, president of the Au- tomotive Parts & Equipment Mfgrs. Association. and member of the Michigan Council for Defense. MT. Carlton foresaw loss of jobs to co., 900 auto workers in Michigan, and 1850 in the nation between Aug uSt and November through inability of defense work to take on displaced automotive personnel. This situation arises because under the original

"White Russians" Seen Pinning
 Comeback Hopes on Reds Defeat

David J. DaIlin, writer of the revealing article below, Is . we'll known Russian writer on politics and economics. A political refn- zee from the czars, he lived in Germany from 1911 to 1917, when he returned to take an active part in the Russian revolution. He was elected to the Moscow Soviet as a deputy of the Mem shevik (I1inOrity) party. Even- tual domination of Russia by the B0lshevilks forced him to flee the country In 1929. He subsequently, lived in Germany until Hitler's rise to power forced him to flee again. He ar- rived in the United States last year.

ing themselves to be Russian na- tionalists, they nevertheless admit the inferiority of their race.
 It is this philosophy which makes the White Russians such an indis- pensable weapon in the furtherance of Hitler's political ambitions.
 The Russian-Nad pact of 1889 dealt heavy blow to this Rus sian National-Socialist Movement" The rejoicing among the German White Russians is all the greater now. y POSTS PROBABLY

 Knowing, as we do, how carefully Germany plans every detail of its campaigns beforehand, we may confidently assume that every member of the White Russian or- ganization has already been assign ed post in the future political scheme; some to be governors of Russian provinces, others heads of police, colonels in the army of oc- cupation, editors of newspapers, etc.
 Numerically. the German organ ization of White Russians Is not large. But its leaders count on the swelling of it's ranks by White Rus sians residing in other lands. The White Russian papers in Belgrade, Paris, Kharbin. Shanghai, San Francisco, New York, and other ci- ties, have become centers of anti Bolshevist activities. The numerous White Russian organizations all over the world are as irreconcilably op- posed to the Soviet regime as is the

And now, farewell nature Is ever new The hope of tranquil days when musics spell will call the gentle spirits loved so well As sea-brds call across the mist and dew Your dauntless soul unhinchng for the right still brings sweet melody at faiths desire, And dawnS pageants of quivering fire Touch rhythmic strings where dwes the hearts delight A patriot where genius graces bide, And rapture trembles at the masters strings; For Heaven knows the echo where he sings So eloquent at minstrelsys gay tide. Your music will be forsaken: It lives and waits where ifes true loves awaken. George L. Lee.

 About the saddest thing we've seen is the ex-WPA workers who tries to adjust himself to re- employment in industry. Not only has he lost his skill, but he finds private employment insistent on real results and not reports of why a job costs so much. We have few politics in private industry and little phenagling. The shovel Ieaners are in the minority and they usually last just long enough for straw boss to make out a release ticket.

 It's hard to convince people that somebody had to fight for each and every privilege they enjoy. When a nation gets where her menf0lks are hoping they won't have to fight, that nation is easy picking for tough hombres who believe that if you want something you've got to be ready to fight for it, and then to fight some more to keep the other guy from grabbing it..

 New York, July g = Over the battlefields of Russia, poised to strike instantly should the Nazi armies prevail, hovers the double headed eagle of the czars-still the banner of the White Russians Into battle with the German tanks and planes and men go the Hitler approved hopes of the White Rus sians for 8 return to power.
 Such a return to power is the bait Hitler holds out to his Rus sian followers. They are to be the puppet rulers of the Muscovite land, its lawgivers, its police heads, and the generals of its armies. Their task will be to transform the whole social structure of the country, to let no vestige of it's present social system remain.
 But this isn't all. Even if Hitler were to occupy Moscow, there would still remain the enormous areas of the East to conquer. He does not plan, however, to use German troops for the conquest and occu- patton of the remaining Russian territory - territory stretching to the UralS and Archangel and into even remoter wastes of Siberia. German soldiers are to occupy only the vital arteries of the nation its railroads, for instance.
 The rest would be under the military jurisdiction of Russian army, organized by Hitler, com- posed of soldiers from the occu- pied Russian districts, and led by officers recruited from the ranks of Germany's White Russian fol- lowers.
