Sergeant Lockdrd
(FrOm the New York TimeS)

(FrOm the New York TimeS)
When japanese planes were on their
way to attack Pearl Harbor there was
one buck private whose ears were open
and whose mind was working. Joe
Lockard of the Signal Corps wanted to
learn his job thoroughly. SO, on the
morning of Dec. he stayed after
hours listening on an aircraft detec-
tor which would otherwise have been
shut off.
He heard large flight of planes ap-
proa aching the island from a point 13O
miles away. Rechecking his findings,
he reported this discovery to his su-
perior officer Unfortunately, his warn
ing was not needed Fifty-three min
utes later the Japanese planes struck.
Now the War Department announces
that Joe, recently become Sergeant
Lockard, has been awarded the United
States Distinguished Service Medal.
He deserves it. Moreover, he is being
sent to the officers candidate school at
Fort Monmouth. Before the war is
over, there will be room at the top for
other young men as eager and alert as
Joseph LOckard.

Congress Busy With
"Politics As Usual"
Declares T.R. Anlie
Ex-Representdtive Demands
Change To Wartime
Busis

Washington, D. G. (ILNS).-In a
blistering attack on the record Of Con-
greSs, former Representative Thomas
Il. Amlie of Wisconsin demanded here
that the national legislature be con-
verted to wartime basis Congress,
he declared, has been responsible for
''piling Pearl Harbor on Pearl Harbor.
After more than a year of needless
delay he said, 1.-The autOmOtive indus
poses. Yet the worst prOfiteers among
the dOllar-a-year men look like pa
triOtS compared to those congressman
who, confronted by the worst military
defeats in our history, are engrosSetl
in politics aS usual"
Washington Bureau Opened
Amlie'S statement accompanied an
announcement of the opening of Il
Washington Bureau by the Union for
Democratic Action, an organization
formed about year ago by a group of
liberals and labor leaders to support
the foreign policy of President ROose-
welt. Amlie, formerly Congressman
| from the First Wisconsin District, will
i be secretary of the newly y-created br-
reau.
This is the worst Congress in the
memory of the present generation,'
charged Amlie "Only last summer il
came within one vote of disbanding the
United States Army. 1t has done little
or nothing to solve the pressing tax
problems confronting the nation.
Paced by an OCD appropriation bill
which might have provided desperately
needed money for fire-fighting equip,
ment, it could see only an opportunity
to Snipe at the administration. 1t is
prepared to kill a bill providing for the
aid and retraining of many workers
thrown out of jobs by the war.
People Out to Win
During the past week Senator Byrd
and the clique that he represents have
been spending their time trying to pre-
vent money loaned to poor farmers in
their districts from being used to pay
roll taxes. They are more frightened
that their constituents might vote than
they are of the Germans and the Jap
anese. And on top Of all this they vote
themselves pensions"
'The people of this country" said
Amlie, "are in the war to win it, and
they will win the peace that follows it.
The Union for Democratic Action pro-
poses to try to help formulate the spe'
cific steps by which the war can be
won, and at the same time look ahead
to the steps necessary to win the peace
The 1912 elections will be crucial
point in the prosecution of the war. II
is during the next three or four months
that the Union for Democratic Action
hopes to lay the groundwork for in
forming the people what Congress has
done, and what it has failed to do, in
the war effort"

Newcastle, n. b., ULNS). The
Farmer and Labor Union, established

group, aimed at linking the agricul-
tural, saw milling, logging, pulpwOOd

The mission of the union was to i'm
prove wages and working conditions
for the millmen and lOggers and farm
workers, and also to weld together the
growers of farm products and live
stock with the millmen and lOggerS.
Locals of the union were founded in
ten communities.
The founders of the union refused
to affiliate with any dominion or in
ternatiOnal union organization, prefer
ring lone action. This has proved to he
its downfall, as the lack of financial
and moral assistance has been SOrely
felt. The union also failed to effect an
alliance between farmers and labor.

AL FISHERMEN WIN
COMPLETE VICTORY
NBOARD'S DECISION

Washington, d. C.-n its first de-
cision, the War Labor Board succeeded
in breaking lockout by defiant and
adamant" employers Of 800 AFL New
England fishermen and forcing the en-
ployers to accept arbitration Of the
dispute
In its ruling the War Labor Board
caStigated the Federated Fishing Boats
of New England and New York, Inc,
for refusing to submit to arbitration
the question of whether this company
should provide $1,000 worth of war
risk disability and death insurance for
each of the employees engaged in the
hazardous job of fishing in submarine
infested waters.
The Board threatened the company
with summary action by the Govern
ment if it did not adopt different
course. 1t was broadly hinted that the
Government might take over the indus
try.
Within a few days the company was
forced to make some concessions. 1t
agreed to arbitrate the issue and to
provide the necessary insurance for il
three month period while the arbitra-
ton proceedings are pending.
In the Boards official decision, writ
ten by Wayne l.. Morse. the following
statement was considered most sgnifi-
cant:
This country is ut war. The events
in that war to date make clear that
we cannot cOndOne the conduct of any
employer or labor group in America
hat places its selfish welfare above
the interest of the country.
'''rhe position of the company leaves
the National War Labor Board with
no other alternative but to rule that
unless the employers involved comply
Immediately with the decision, their
defence of said board must be re-
pudiated by patriotic Americans and
challenged by whatever forces of
government may be necessary to OBJ
tain compliance"

We have seen how it is done. We
We're invited here as guests of Under
Secretary of War Robert =. Patterson,
along with other labor leaders, to
watch the Army training program in
action.
What we saw impressed us so deeply
that we felt every working man and
woman in America ought to know
about it,
We arrived here in Secretary Patter-
sons plane from Washington i'm time to
see the flying cadets on parade. They
were Il fine looking lot of young men,
all between the ages of IS and 26. The
cadets in this group had been under
training for less than two weeks, but
already they were marching like vet
cran soldiers.
We made Il general tour of this huge
air base. through the cadets living
quarters, the mess rooms, reading
rooms, infrmary and the guardhouSp
We visited the great hangarS where the
planes are kept; the clasSrooms where
technical instruction is given, the recre-
alton grounds where the boys play
touch fOotball basketball, tennis or
baseball. 1t is Il complete community
with every mind concentrated on one
Objective-turning out the best pilots
for our Army. From what we saw ut
Maxwell Field, we have no doubt that
these pilots will be second to none.
One of the things that impressed Us
most was the repair shop. Some of tn,
planes that had come into the shol
We're stored there because the Army
cannot get parts. This is true of other
Army equipment, guns and tanks. The
sight of those crippled planes made lis
realize how much labor can help tho
war effort. It's up to us to get those
parts finished so that training can 90

small engine part may mean the diff.
ference between Il plane in the Shol
and Il plane i'm the air.
This doesn't mean, however, that
training isn't going ahead-it is. An,
we are convinced, as we said at the
outset, that the Army is doing Il splen

ROCKVILLE. Md, March g.
Arthur G. Previn of Washington was
found not guilty of willful cruelty
to animals by Judge Donald A. De
Lashmutt yesterday in Police Court.
Mr.. Previn was charged in a war
rant sworn out by George G. List of
the Maryland Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Animals with
causing the death of about 20 sheep
and goats near Potomac, Md,
through i'll feeding and lack of water.
The defendant said no caretaker
had been at the place since Christ
mas, but that he or his wife had
visited the property at least once
every day to feed the animals.
Mrs. Previn testified that she brought
water to the animals daily from a
creek 2 miles away.
The dead animals were discovered
last week. Witnesses did not agree
as to whether death had been caused
by dogs in the neighborhood or by
starvation.
No States attorney was present at
the time the trial was called. Mary
land State Senator Robert Peter.
who represented Mr.. Previn, agreed
to permit Mr.. List, who is not law
yer, to crosS-examine witnesses.
