Defense Council
Procedure Blasted

SACRAMENTO, May 7 (UP) -
State personnel board members to
day sharply criticized acting Di-
rector Kenneth 1. Fulton OF tie
state council of defense for al
legedly disregarding proper pro-
cedure in employing 26 members of
the councils staff and said he
might be liable for their salaries.
The employees involved had been
assigned to position under tenn
porary appointments at the con-
cluSion of tWo-WeekS defense
council school on March Is. Since
that time they have received no
pay.
William Smith, acting executive
officer of the personnel board, said
specifications for the jobs had been
approved but he had not received
reports on qualifications of most
of the appointees until this week.
Temporary authorizations for their
employment was not possible until
the qualifications were checked, he
said.

In western Normandy, occupation
authorities ordered a general pm.

by keeping the French indoors.
Radio Berlin announced that
Reinhardt Heydrich, deputy chief
of the GeStapo, who had been ap-
pointed protector of Bohemia and
Moravia" to check terrorism in
Czechoslovakia, arrived unexpected

as brutally ruthless, stopping at
nothing.
Another German broadcast said
10 members of clandestine Neither

abetting enemy espionage, illegal
possession of arms and explosives, or
breach OF officers parole"
BELGIANS RISE
Departing from its usual trend,
Radio Berlin admitted that these
Dutchmen were not Communists
nor anti-social." Instead, they were
former officers and reserve Officers
of the Dutch army, and the Ger
mans were indignant that they had
broken their word of honor" pledg-
ed when the armistice was conclud-
ed. that they would not oppose the
German armed forces.
Sabotage was on the increase in
Belgium, too. A transformer station
was wrecked at the Important Krupp
Armament Works near Brussels and
several cranes were damaged at the
locks of the Antwerp canal.
In Germany, Adolf Hitler appoint
cd an armament council" to speed
production of materiel for his forces.
The powers of the council were
not specified.
Observers recalled that only last
fall Hitler said, Il was able to order
suspension of further production
because there is no enemy in the
world we could not beat with our
present stock of ammunition.
In Italy, Benito Mussolini ap-
pointed himself lord chief justice
of Italy" and received new codifi-
cation of Italian law, which he
said would be called the "Mussolini
laws" and would be the "forerunner
and guarantee of our victory"

A. F. |. Denies Deal
With Lewis 10 brinq
Peace 10 Labor
White House and G. !. O.
Won't Confirm Report Of
RooseveIt-Murroy Tolk

The American Federation Of Labor
is committed to no deal" with John
L. Lewis for the establishment Of
peace in the labor movement, a Fed
Grafton spokesman said today in an
swer to printed reports that such
commitments had been made.
Responding to Mr.. Lewis pro-
posal that peace negotiations be re-
sumed between the A. r. Of L. and
the c. I. o., the Federation ofIicial
repeated today that negotiators Of
that organization are ready to meet
with G. I. o. representative ut any
time, but without any pre-arranged
agreements.
Meanwhile, both the White House
and official sources Of the G. I. o.
were Withholding confirmation on .
reported consultation late yesterday
between President Roosevelt and
Philip Murray, G. I. O. chieftain.
Reported Skeptical.
According to the report, published
In the New York Times, President
Roosevelt and Mr.. Murray are in
agreement in their skepticism about
advisability Of reopening peace ne
gotiations now.
It Is understood from labor sources
here that Mr.. Lewis appeal fol-
lowed discussion of this move with
William L. Hutcheson, first vice
president Of the A. F. L., and a
member Of its peace committee. Mr..
Lewis and Mr.. Hutcheson were bit
ter enemies at the time organized
labor split, but this personal breach
Is reported to have been patched up,
In part, at least, during the 1910
presidential campaign when both
were supporting Wendell L. Willkie,
Republican nominee.
Whatever the personal sentiments
OF Mr.. Hutcheson may be toward
labor peace, however, It is pointed
out that at its meeting here this
month the A. F. L. executive council
voted that its peace committee
should have no authority beyond
that OF discussing q reconciliation
with ultimate power Of approval to
remain in the hands Of the full
council.
The Times story said Mr.. Murray
was summoned to the White House
for a secret conference with the
President. The article also declared
that Mr.. Roosevelt regarded the
Lewis proposals outlined In the
Times last Monday as q plot BY
isolationists to undermine the Presi-
dents hold on organized labor.
The paper quoted labor circles as
saying that the President named
Mr.. Lewis and Mr.. Hutcheson, as
the tsolationist leaders behind the
plan.
Says Negotiations Feared.
These circles, the Times added,
reported that the President agreed
with Mr.. Murray's contention that
the no-strike agreement reached at
the recent industry-labor conference
In Washington had reduced any
necessity for precipitate action to-
ward a merger Of the two national
labor organizations.
Mr.. Murray was quoted as telling
the President he feared peace nego-
tiations growing out OF the Lewis
moves might cause so much political
intrigue within the labor movement
that defense production might be
retarded.
The President was reported to
have said that an investigation by
his aides had tended to show that
Daniel j. Tobin, sixth A. r. L. vice
president and consistent Roose-
velt supporter, had no connection
with the negotiations between Mr..
Lewis and the A. r. L.

LittIe-Pubhcized Malay Pilots
Do Excellent Job With Speed
Volunteer Heroes Transport Explosives
To DeIoy Onrushing Jop Troops

Their activities are communications
and what the censorship terms
"other operations" Many are rub
Der planters, tin engineers and civil
servants who learned to fly at the
governmentally subsidized rate Of
So an hour.
Most of these volunteers were
members Of Malaya's four principal
flying clubs - at Penang. Kuala
Lumpur, Ipoh and Singapore. Now
in uniform, they are subordinate to
the Royal Air Force. In uss-Moths
they trained Singapore's original
searchlight crew and account for
the latter's superiority to the ack-
ack. They have also towed targets
for ground fire. Liason jobs are
among their mentionable specialties.
Quick Action Taken.
When three members of the en-
gine room stan Of q freighter,
ashore at Port Swettenham, were
killed, the M. v. A. F. flew three
substitutes there in time to get the
freighter from the harbor before
the Japs arrived. AT Kuantan they
saved Blenheim by transporting
an extra engine after the plane
had been shot up on the field.
Most of the M. v. A. F.'s fields
have been constructed of what is
here called metal" meaning mix
ture of granite and tar which sheds
the monsoon rains. At Penang their
drome was additionally protected
by tidal fioodgates which, when
blown up, deluged the field in Dutch
fashion. Their sea pumps for re-
moving the water were also de-
stroyed.
A description Of the fields the
M. v. A. F.'s once used cannot be
given here, but perhaps more re-
garding their activities and person.
alities can become known after the
war.
