All Right for Army
To Take Over Struck
Plants, Knudsen Say,
Bocks Legislative Curb
On Defense WoIkouts
If Mediation Fails
Earlier Story on Page A-33

William S. Knudsen expressed op-
position late today to legislation to
curb defense strikes and then de-
clared it would be "all right" for
Congress to pass law permitting
the Army and Navy to take over a
struck defense plant if mediation
had failed.
Mr.. Knudsen expressed these views
during the House Military Affairs
Committees investigation of the
progress of the national defense
program.
Representative Brooks, Democrat
of Louisiana inquired whether he
thought the conScription law might
be so broadened that the Army or
Navy could take over struck plant
where efforts by the Labor Depart
ment and the National Defense
Mediation Board had failed to bring
about settlement.
Representative Brooks suggested
that the law might be so written
that the Government would keep
control of the plant only until the
strike issues had been solved.
"Just Plain Stupid"
"I think it is all right" said Mr..
Knudsen, director general of the
Office of Production Management.
Mr.. Knudsen expressed opposition
to legislation against strikes, say
ing he believed the new Defense
Mediation Board would do "a great
deal" toward eliminating hurtful
work stoppages.
A similar view was expressed ear
lier in the day by Secretary Of La
Dor Perkins, who testified also that
she thought it was "everybody's
duty"-not the Labor Department
conciliator-'to eradicate Com
munism from the labor movement
Mr.. Kpudsen, in his discourse
said that he considered strikes over
wages and working conditions to be
Legitimate, but called jurisdic-
! tional strikes "just plain stupid.
Asked by Representative Thoma-
son, Democrat, of Texas, whether
he thought legislation would "helr
any" toward preventing strikes, Mr.
Knudsen replied:
Il don't think So"
Believes in Mediation.
The witness added that he was tolc
yesterday by the Governor of Texa,
of a law in that State imposing
criminal penalties on strikers agains
defense but that he could not agree
that was the solution.
IF you exchange a strike for 8
slow-up," he said, you wouldn't b'
much better off"
do you think mediation will dC
the trick?" Mr.. Thomason inquired
Yes, I do" Mr.. Knudsen replied
"I think the board that has been SCI
up will do a great deal"
Miss Perkins said in her testimony
she believed in IAN educational pro.

Study the tournament setup and
determine where, if possible, you,
as a bowler, duckpin operator, or
just an American could miss with a

Calling All League Officials.
According to the secretaries of
the mems and women's city duckpin
associations, Joe Pricci and Esther
Burton, WaShingotn's bowling
leagues total approximately 500.
1t would be simple for the leaders
OF 500 leagues to put before their

maple party, but difficult for the
staffs Of % bowling alleys, carrying
on with routine, to reach all. Some
of the alley managers, along with
their bosses will be on deck this
week during hours given usually to
time-out pursuits.
Foot notes to the bowler:
If you're among the top so per
cent at any alley and don't win a
prize, you're out only 40 cents in
cash, but you've gained experience
in shooting for big-time prizes. No
matter what your average, if you're

award Of $1,000 defense bond and
at least bond of s25; if woman,
YOU might collect for first prize
$500 bond and couldn't win less than
S25 in defense savings. The prize
list likely will be long. Recalling

Mild Weather Is Spelling Duck Hunting
Big Deer Kill Looms in Pennsylvania

With more ducks on our water
ways than WildfoWlers have seen in
a decade, it would not seem to be
asking too much to wish for little
dirty weather to go with them. How
ever, day after day. there is the
same warm, bright sun with the
birds RATED in mid-channels and
probably thinking more Of spring
nesting than continuing their south
ern migration.
There is a slight movement in
spite of the bluebird days, but it is
noticeable only through the presence
of greater numbers of diving ducks
in areas where last week there were
none.
More canvasbacks are being found
down the Potomac in Tidewater Vir-
ginia and on the North Carolina
sounds. The latter waters are fast
getting their full winter quota of
redheads as we'll as canvasbacks
From one end of Chesapeake Bay
to the other there are larger num-
bers Of Canada geese than in pre-
vious years. Because the main
flights have gone on down it appears
as though there will be a greater
number of geese in hunters bags
here when real shooting weather
does arrive, for it is likely the geese
will stay until ice closes off their
feeding grounds.
"Gabe" Misses His Shooting
Wildfowlers have considerable to
say about the present regulations
on waterfowl. That.is particular
right We have in this country telling
the powers-that-be that we like or
dislike their efforts toward sending
more birds back to the breeding
grounds every spring.
Many believe the Fish and Wild
life Service is run by armchair men
who more often than not lose sight
of the fact that hunters also have
an interest in wild waterfowl. They
are wrong, for from Dr. Ira N. Cab
rielson on down, most everyone is
a wildfowler at heart.
"Gabe" had hoped to shoot this
week from the Whale Head Club
