CHASE CIO UNION
 BACKING BRIDGES
Resolution Adopted De- nouncing Proceedings
 Against Westerner

Resolutions denouncing deporta- ton proceedings against Harry Bridges, attacking John L. Lewis and calling for the speedy opening of 8 second front have been adopted by the Chase Metal Works unit of the Chase Brass & Copper Workers union, CIO,
 In the Bridges resolution, the unit attacked Attorney General Riddle for his deportation order against the West Coast labor leader. This action, states the resolution, Is "untimely, unwarranted and unjustified," and is a "serious blow at national unity, increased production and the entire war effort" It is urged that the de- portation order be revoked.
 The anti-Lewis resolution charged the former 0. I. o. president with "un-A American isolationisA tactics" and with seeking. to disrupt the la Dor movement. It pledged "unquali- fled support" to President Roosevelt, CIO President Philip Murray and Reid Robinson, president of the h. ternational Union of Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers.
 The "second front" resolution called on the United States to help smash Hitler in 1942." It also asked for cooperation with the British Soviet trade union committee.

VSAA"ASo0 WAIAl H very pSSSlIn1SC1c report about British prospects in North Africa, expressing grave fears that the British would lose the Suez Canal.
 While Bullitt was in Cairo, Win ston Churchill was in Washington on his December-January series of conferences with Roosevelt. Dur- ing those conferences, Churchill ar- gued vigorously for the strengthen ing of the North African front where, he contended, the British could take the offensive and drive the Axis completely out of North Africa.
 It was then a question, as 1t is now, of deciding where the limited number of American planes and tanks could be used most effectively. And Churchilrs Libyan thesis was opposed both by the Australians and Admiral King, Commander of the U. s. fleet. They fully concurred in the importance of holding the Suez Canal, but did not believe in taking the offensive in Libya. Precious U. s. materials, they urged, could be used more advantageously at Singa- pore and the South Pacific.
 Churchill, however, won his point, and subsequently, the British did be- gin their drive to oust Rommel from North Africa.
 The failure of this drive caused very keen disappointment in Wash ington and tended to substantiate
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-23

some of the discouraging factors which Ambassador Bullitt had re- ported several months before.
 BuIIitt's View
 Built had come back from the Near East with very low opinion of the British Army's efficiency. How far he went in his official report is not known. But in personal conver- sations among Washington officials he pointed out that the British Army was made up of so many dif- ferent nationalities and religious groups that 26 different commits saries were necessary to feed them.
 In other words, the different sects of Mohammedans, Indians, Arabs in the British Army, plus the Free French, Poles, Czechs, Greeks, Jugo- slaves, South Africans did not form cohesive, mobile army. It was cumbersome, unwieldy, and lacked morale.
 Built and those who accompanied him also were critical of the lack of enterprise and energy on the part of British commanders. These opinions followed some drastic crit iciSm from the Australians who told of cricket and tea as usual, and munitions magazines kept locked by English officers during afternoon siestas, even when vital munitions were needed for defense.
 Australian criticism of English officers was SO bitter and so pro- longed, especially after the with drawals from Greece and Crete, that some of the officers complain ed of were transferred to Singapore "a transfer which the Australians had great cause to regret.
 Probably some of this criticism was exaggerated and unjustifled. 1t should be added, also, that Amer ican observers had the greatest ad- miration for the courage of British troops.
 U. s. Reaction
 However, 1t remains an indisput- able fact that high officials in the U. s. War Department have been worried for some time about lack of initiative of the British Command in North Africa.
 Their theory is that the British lost so many young officers in Flanders in this war and in the last, that there is 8 hiatus in officer ma terial between the ages of 45 to 60. British officers are gentlemen of the most charming type, and are picked from some of the best families of Britain. But in the U. s. War De- partment there is tendency to compare their fighting ability with the charming gentlemen in the U. s. State Department.
 All of the above is not worth re- beating merely for aff1xing blame for the Libyan disaster. But these facts have to be known and faced in connection with the second front which the Russians have demanded and which the United States has publicly pledged 1t would under take.
 In other words, the all important question, which MT. Churchill and MT. Roosevelt must take into con- sideration is how far the American Army can depend on British support in starting difficult and dangerous offensive against Hitler on the Con- tinent.
 The hope is that with fewer In- dian an dAfrican troops to depend on, the British will surprise MT. Hit Ter with their now well-trained home army.

While the new effective date of the plan gives motorists additional time to form their car-sharing groups, MT. Bachman stressed the importance of taking steps imme- diately to form such clubs. Sigma lures of club members must appear on any application for supplemental rations before 1t will be considered by local rationing board.
 The postponement will not inter- fere with the training of registrars and the local rationing boards which is to begin this week, Mir Back man said.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-23

Registration dates in the public schools were likewise changed. The basic "A" books vii lnow be issued on July g, 10 and Il, rather than on July 1, 2 and as originally planned. Basic ID" books for mo- torcycles will also be issued on the new dates.
 To enable the present emergency plan for gasoline rationing to oper- ate for an additional week, OPA authorized use of the war bond seal in the upper left corner of each card for a ration of gasoline. The size of the ration to be allowed will vary with the type of card. Holders of "A" cards vii Joe entitled to an additional three gallons; "B-1" card holders to four gallons; "B-2" to five gallons; and "B-3s" to six gall Ions. For purposes of serving this ration, service station attendants are to punch the seal as If 1t were one of the units on the card.
 All unused units on "A" and "B" cards will continue to be good for six gallons.
 "Car-sharing to make one card do the work of four has become an in- tegral part of the new coupon plan," {" said MT. Backman. Pooling cars for driving to and from work is i'm perative for two reasons. First, private cars are needed to supple ment public transportation, and second, in view of the petroleum shortage in the East we must make every gallon of gasoline count.
 "Car clubs in which four, or more, persons arrange to ride to and from work together, have, therefore, been made a requirement. for any supple mental rations to be granted under the plan. To avoid confusion and inconvenience after the plan goes into effect, every effort should be made to form as large 8 number as possible of those clubs before the registration period"
