DANGEROUS SPOT

That was the most dangerous
area on the front, with huge Ger
man forces of men, planes and
tanks pressing relentlessly down
the main railroad toward the Cau-
casus and its oil However, bitter
battles ragged at Tsimlyanskaya
midway between Rostov and Stain
grad, where the Germans had thrown
another force across the river Don,
and in the bend of the Don, facing
Stalingrad.
A dispatch to the government
newspaper Izvestia said the Rus
slams, anticipating a German at
tempt to storm Leningrad. got the
Jump on the enemy by a series Of
powerful attacks on several sectors.
They have smashed enemy strong
holds, occupied new defense lines
and are inflicting mounting losses
on the Germans, the British said.
The battle still is going on.

JAPS ISOLATED

Isolated when fierce Allied air
plane attacks had driven their con-
voy up the coast from the Coma
mission landing point, the Japa-
nese had quickly advanced strong
combat partols along the tortuous
trail which extends across New
Guinea to the great Allied base at
Port Moresby on the south coast
Allied patrols had met the Japa-
nese, in a light skirmish, at the
village of AWala, % miles northeast
of Kokoda, on Sunday.
The enemy forces, using the tao
tics which had given them success
in Malaga, pushed along until they
had reached Oivi, five miles east of
Kokoda, and had thus put them
selves in mid-New Guinea only 55
miles from Port MoreSby.

BASE RAIDED

Gen. Douglas MacArthur's United
Nations air force continued a fe-
rocious attack on the Buna-Gona
base and in three separate raids
yesterday smashed more enemy
installations with numerous direct
bomb hits.
In the northwestern sector of the
Australian zone, Allied planes made
their second attack in two days on
/ the Koepang area or Timor Island
and after putting their bombs in
the target zone successfully fought
off the challenge of interceptine
Japanese fighter planes.
For the third time in tour nights
a jungle Japanese plane raideo
Townsville, 40 miles up the east
coast of Australia from Brisbane
but as on the previous nights i
succeeded in doing no damage.

BOMBS UNLOADED

This time, as the big enemy fly
ing boat approached the city just
after midnight this morning, fight
er planes went out to intercept it
and it fled, damaged, after jcttison-
ing its bombs in the sea.
It was hit repeatedly, Gen. Mac
Arthur's daily communiquc said
and when last seen was losing
height. 1t was believed to have
crashed in the sea.
A single enemy plane also flew
over Port Moresby under cover of
night and dropped several bombs,
but without doing damage.

REDS ATTACK

In the face of these grave de-
yelopments, the Russians opened a
smashing eounterattack in the Len
ingrad area, on the north end OF
the 1000 mile front and drove the
Germans from many strongholds
but frcnt-line reports admitted the
Russians were trying to beat the
Germans TO the punch.
Soviet troops retired to new de-
fensive positions in the Bataisk area,
the noon communique revealed.
Pierce battles continued. Our troops
arc stubbornly resisting the advanc-
ing enemy.
In one day, on one sector. in one
hour, our men destroyed 10 enemy

men. Only after the enemy had
thrown huge forces into battle did
our men retire to new defensive po-

MGR Uses Vital Brass

Hardly had this column noted
the sprinkler system on Stewart
St. when the same was strung out
all around the plant. There is
enough brass in one of those
fittings to make a couple of main
micro screws for the Dis. Brass
is one of the most critical war
materials, since super-scarce cop
per is alleged with zinc to make
it. What are the EU members of
the labor management war pro-
duction committee doing about
this? How about it, Mr.. Bell?
We've got a notion that Uncle
Sammy is gonna be plenty sore
about this, because his nephews
in the service need that stuff bad.

Organize
Foremen, Now!

UE Local 755 of Delco is about
to raise the position of another
group of Delco workers. This
group will appreciate the work
that has brought them 50 far and
continue to support the Union as
they always have. WE MEAN
THE ASSISTANT FOREMEN and
the JOB FOREMEN!
We won them an election as
group leaders and got them a
nice salary increase, 50 the COM
pany put them on straight time
and called them assistant foremen
and job foremen.
There were some very lovely
raises, BUT WE INTEND TO DO
MORE! We are going to COM
pletely organize them, ask for
an election, AND MAYBE THE
COMPANY VII MAKE THEM
SUPERINTENDENT That il all
right with us, we would take In
Reber and Irish and bargain with
Wilson if we thought we were
right, and fellow Union workers,
we r right.
1t will not do the company any
good to change the title of a
worker. So long az a man Is closer
to his fellow workers than he Is
to management, we will take him
into our organization. In the mean
time, don't hesitate to organize
the job foremen and assistant
foremen, MOST OF THEM
BELONG ANYWAY, but It win
hurt nothing to ask them and find
out for yourself

Do Your Duty

MGR workers have a duty to
perform Nov. 3-to 60 to the polls
and help elect win-the-war pro-
labor candidates. John insolvency,
CIO-endorsed candidate for gov
ernor, is the first working mans
candidate in years. The common
mans interest in Ohio will be
better protected by insolvency
than it has by recent governors.
If you can think back two years
ago, you can remember when
Bricker starved Cleveland relief
clients so he could build up a big
treasury surplus to show the 1910
Republican national convention to
back up his "favorite son" candi-
dacy for the presidential nominal
ton. Bricker sides with the isola-
zionist wing of the Republican
party and is thus out of step with
popular sentiment in Ohio; where
as insolvency, a war veteran, is
all-out to win-the-war.
No less do we need to return
Greg Holbrock to Congress. We
need all the pro-labor win-the-
war Congressman we can get, or
we're likely to be slapped in the
teeth with another disruptive tax
bill, lousier, if possible, than the
one just passed. Holbrock is pro-
labor and we've got to hang on
to him. If we're going to win the
war, we need a win-the-war Con-
gress.
We need Jake Deutsch in the
state assembly as bad as we need
insolvency and Holbrock. When
ever anything affecting labor
comes up in Columbus, Jake
comes to Dayton to learn labor's
views on the subject. He is a
representative who really repre-
sents.

AbsenteeiSrn

Being absent from work one
day would seem to, us a minor
factor, but confidentially it isn't.
Do you realize how it could wreck
the production facilities for war
work if everyone would unneces-
sarily be absent from work when
ever they yer ~neglectful?
We must be ready and willing
everyday to do our part. Compar-
ed to what others are doing, this
is a minor factor. For instance
many have given up their careers
to join various branches in our
armed forces, and think of our
brothers, fathers and friends who
were bold enough to sacrifice
their lives for our freedom.
If you r a true American the
least you can do is supply Jul boys
with arms, by being willing to

you doing all you can to keep our

pute involving approximately 300 Of
l,150 employees of the Ranger Air
craft Engines Division of the Fair
child Engine and Airplane Corp,
Farmingdale, Long Island, and a C..
I. o. union.
The union is United Automobile
Workers Local 661. and the dispute
involves union security and the ef-
fective date of wage adjustments.
The union asked a general wage
increase of IS cents an hour, check
of of union dues, minimum wage
of rs cents an hour after go days
employment and minor adjustments
which the panel recommended be
left to future negotiations. 1t also
asked any wage increase be made
retroactive to January II when the
former contract expired.
A minority report of the panel
recommended a general wage in
crease of 10 cents an hour and min
imum pay OF rs cents.

BiIbo Plans Senate Fight
To Dry Up Army Camps

Senator Bilbo, Democrat, OF
Mississippi announced in the Sem
ate today he would move on Mon
day to take up the Sheppard bill to
dry up" all Army and Navy camps
and posts.
This measure was introduced last
year by the late Senator Sheppard
of Texas, father of the national
prohibition amendment. 1t was
reported without recommendation
from. the Military Affairs Commit
tee and is now on the calendar.
The first half of the bill prohibits
the sale or possession of any alco-
holic beverages including beer. ale
or wine within any military camp
or post, or within a reasonable dis
tance of the camp or post.
The second part of the bill pro-
hibits the establishment of houses
of prostitution near these military
and naval camps and posts.
