WASHINGTON, March o.
w All during this war, the Zap
radio propagandists have totally
ignored. the Russians sitting on
their back porch in Asia. Last
week, they opened up on the
Reds, cutting them around ver-
bally every hour on the hour for
no apparent new reason. In the
normal course of Axis antics,
this means the Reds are SEIZED.
uled for Jap attention next.
An invasion on the Amur
River line TO cut off .Vladivostok
has long been in the Jap mill
tary cards. Whether it is to be
timed with a Hitler spring of
fenSive on the west Russian
front is now the live question.
Also some sea action against
Pacific shipping into Vladivos-
tok might be taken.
AT least. the Jap radio atten-
ton TO TIE Commies has sounded
an alert here concerning coming
events in the northwestern Pa
cific.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1942-03-23

w things that have impaired the
nations war effort, a prominent
place would have To be given TO the
failure of the United States Sen
ate to act on the Smith anti-strike
bill. which the House of Repre-
sentatives passed in December by
a vote Of two to one.
Since then, the bill has been
throttled in the Senate committee
on education and labor.
But that committee obeyed
requests from members of the
cabinet, so that the administration
has really been responsible for
blocking the legislation.
Subsequent events have proved
that the administrations attitude
was politically hazardous as we'll
as dangerously mwise.
Furthermore, the administra-
ton, now finds itself plagued by
occurrences which the Smith bill
would have foreStalled.
One occurrence has been the
continued multiplicity of strikes
and impending labor disputes in
war industries, where the produc-
ton of war goods has unques
tionably been affected adversely.
A SECOND occurrence has bee
n a rapidly rising tide of publ
resentment.
And the third occurrence
growing out of the two others, has
been a sudden movement in both
houses of Congress for anti-strike
legislation FAR MORE DRASTIC
THAN THE ORIGINAL SMITH
p BILL.
The introduction of these new
measures to implement" the pub
lie and congress sional mood
prompted President Roosevelt to
call his "labor war board" into
session at the White House.
Emerging from the confer
ence, the presidents of the Con-
gress of Industrial Organizations
and of the American Federation
of Labor reported that they had
made an agreement" with Mr..
Roosevelt that there would be no
more war-industry strikes.
Mr.. Roosevelt later told the
press that he had requested" the
labor leaders to waive contracts
requiring double pay for work on
Sundays.
This feeble, formless and I'M
enforceable understanding leaves
industry, labor and the govern
ment in the same precarious posi-
ton as they all occupied weeks
ago, when a previous and similar
no-strike agreement was made,
only to be FLAGRANTLY VIC
LATED by local labor leaders in
virtually all parts Of the country.
The two national labor leaders
profess, perhaps sincerely, will
ingness on the part of labor to
yield its right to strike" during
the war by voluntary action"
pY WHAT logic, then, do they
ID oppose the Smith bill, which
without abrogating any of labor's
"gains," would prohibit ALL

Senate Should Act NOW
On Smith Anti-Strike Bill

STRIKES during the war and
which, if it became law, ALL
LABOR LEADERS would be
COMPELLED to respect?
There is no reason for believ-
ing that the voiceless rank and
file of labor opposes the Smith
bill.
On the contrary, the Gallup
Poll has found that 81 PER CENT
of labor itself FAVORS the pro-
hibition-by laW-of strikes in de-
Tense industries.
There is time even now, if the
administration wants to avoid
anti-strike legislation that is much
more severe, for the Senate to do
its duty and pass the Smith bill.
The Senate was reminded of
this fact the other day in the very
midst of debate on the war-indus-
try situation.
The Congressional Record for
Monday, March 16, contains a
brief but -forceful- speech-on- the
subject by Rep. John f. Rankin, a
Democrat of Mississippi, under the
heading, Senate Should Act on
Bill to Curb Strikes Now"
THE speech follows, in full:
L 'MR. RANKIN-Mr. Speaker,
|, for one, am glad the American
people are becoming aroused over
,hese strikes in our defense indus
tries, but want them to know
where the trouble lies.
1--WE passed a bill through this
House some time ago to put stop
10 these strikes and to this racket
eering in our defense industries.
THAT measure is now sleeping
sOundly in Senate committee,
while that august body debates the
question of moral turpitude in
North Dakota"
"MR. WOODRUFF of Vir-
ginia-That strike-cOntrOl bill was
passed through the House on De-
cember 81
MIR. RANKIN-Yes, four
days before the Pearl Harbor
disaster.
Zone senator can move to dis
charge the committee and bring
the bill up for passage.
"Then they can amend it to
meet every requirement and pass
it at once, and we will agree to
the amendments.
ut is BY FAR THE MOST
IMPORTANT MEASURE NOW
BEFORE CONGRESS.
"The American people are de-
handing action.
"Our boys are dying on land
and sea for want of equipment,
while these strikes, these slow
downs and this racketeering con-
tinues.
Let the Senate act AT
ONCE. and the House will agree
Immediately to ANY strengthen
ing amendments that body may
adopt.
I'VE are at war. The enemy is
at our gates; we cannot afford to
bubble or delay. The fate of the
nation is at stake.
THE SENATE SHOULD
ACT ON THIS MEAS URE

there will be no freedom for the
white man either if there is not
freedom for the colored. If de-

Appeal Dismissed In .$3,342 Award To Widow

Superior Court Judge John Rufus Booth today handed down mem orandun of decision dismissing the appeal taken by the Waterbury Corrugated Container Co. and the Hartford Accident and Indemnity Co, from the 8. 432 award made by Compensation Commissioner John J. O,Connell to Catherine Lucewicz, dependent widow of Film Lucewicz, of 233 Bishop street, Waterbury.
 The award was made as the re- suit of fatal injuries sustained by MT. Lucewicz, December 9, 1941, when he fell from a second story window of the container company's building on Thomaston avenue. He was employed by Hyman Pfeffer, owner of the American Window Cleaning Co. Of Waterbury, which is not subject to the workmen's compensation act because it em- ploys less than five workers. The container company was held re- sponsible for payments on the ground that the work of cleaning the windows was a part and process" of the company's business.
 The appellants sought to strike from the evidence certain para graphs which referred to the neces- sity of keeping the windows clean to permit light to enter and also regarding statements that the washing of windows was connected with maintenance of the building for the benefit of employees. They held the commissioner erred in al- lowing the statements to remain in the records. Judge Booth upheld

DANCE OF DOVES
 SCORES BIG HIT
ROsita Royce Impressive in First Waterbury Shove
 ing at Jacques

Rosita Royce and her dance of the doves which thrilled legions at the New York Worlds Fair thrilled meager but appreciative audience yesterday afternoon and evening at Jacques Theater, where she is feat ured all week. The beautiful white domestic pigeons she uses in her novel offering are we'll trained and right at home with their lovely mistress.
 Miss Royce makes her initial ape pearance alone on mounted plat form. With the flick of finger the first dove flies to her shoulder from the stage wing. In succession six others f1utter to her, five on her outstretched arms and the other on her head. With the birds adorning her she peeIs her peeling appeals to all.
 Adding diversity to her routines this year Miss I.oyce impersonates the famous G-string quartet of burlesque stars, Ann Corio, Margie Hart, Georgia Sothern and Gypsy Rose Lee. Honestly, her mimicing of Margie and Georgia really ring the bell. Rosita has perfect enunciation, showmanship galore, lovely figure and a knack of knowing and giving enough of what the customers de- sire.
 The Two Lucky Bucks, a make colored dance team, burn up the boards in their one appearance and their intricate taps earned them a deserving hand. Larue and Carroll, a comedy knockabout act, score with the same act they offered here last year. Ruby and Marian De- Leon, sisters, offer several ballet and soft shoe numbers intermingled with acrobatics which also please.
 Lovely Ermaine Parker, the tassel girl wonder, peels in a novel way as only she can and also does a grand job as straight woman for comedians Frank Silks and SlatS Taylor, the latter a Texas importa- tion. Silks does bit of his pranks from the audience with the aid of singer Dorothy DeHaven on the stage.
 Dell Markee takes care of the vocals from offstage to the dancing routines of the Alfreda Walkerettes. Bert Saunders does himself justice as straightman.
