WASHINGTON. - A new
fuil-blast attack on The NYA,
long looked upon Big Negroes
as a splendid training school
for skilled ira d e 8, was
answered this week by Aubrey
Williams, NYA administrator, in an
exclusive interview with the Chi
cago Defender.
The NYA chief. who has prac.
ticed as well as preached no dis.
elimination, declared that the at
tack by reactionIry Senator Harry
F. Byrd of Virginia demanding the
abolition Of NYA is nothing new.
MIR. Byrd has been clamoring
for the abolition of NYA for eigh,
years. He was against it in the
darkest hours OF the depression in
the same manner he is against il
now" Williams told the Defender
Points To Record
He then pointed to the record OF
the NYA as a war production train
ing agency to dispute the charges
Of Senator Byrd and of the Nc
Cormick Patterson press that the
agency is serving no useful purpose
but is squandering the taxpayers
money.
Since July OF this year, Williams
indicated, the agency has placed
1900 youths in war production in
dustries at a cost Of approximately
500 head. During the month of
October alone. these placements in
war production industry numbered
i7l27 youth. About 1865 NYA
youth went into military service in
October
He showed the Defender a num-
Der of letters from leading war pro-
duction contract holders praisirg
the NYA and the preparation it
gives youth for the Jobs they are
taking over. The Worthington Pump
and Machinery company Of Hol-
yoke. Mass. wrote that they doubt
ed very much whether they would
have been able 70 accomplish the
tremendous schedule they have un-
dertaken without the cooperation
and assistance OF the NYA in help
ing to meet their labor require
ments.
Fine Source Of Workers
The Consolidated Aircraft Cor

them by the NYA were regarded
as superior in attitudes and very
competent in performance OF their
duty. MAY this work continue and

Senator Ellender had said he be-
lieved most Americans and a large
amount Of the British people are
nauseated and disguised with the
continuous inactivity of millions OF
soldiers now stationed on the British
Isles awaiting an attack that may
never come"
There is no doubt about it," Sen
ator Lee declared. the cause of the
Allied nations suffered a great loss
with the fall of Tobruk. but why
should we double that loss by criti-
cizine one of our allies? Such crit
icism plays right into the hands
Of the Axis.
1T is to be expected that every
military reverse which the United
Nationsh may suffer in the future
will be followed by wave of propa-
ganda having for its purpose to
drive wedge between the Allies"
Asserting the Axis foes are in "a
dangerous position" as a result of
the fall of Tobruk, Senator Ellender
declared something must be done
before it is too late"
I'VE must designate a new leader
he said, "and place full decision In
his hands. Such leader must be

We in America are carrying more

preme leader none other than our
great President, Franklin D. Roose-
velt."
Senator Ellender said the Presi-
dent had, among other qualifica-
tions. the skill to animate others.
Senator Ellender said he would
not be surprised if a submarine came
up the Potomac River for a bold

The walkout was started by about
so workers last night and was joined
by all employees on the 7 am. pipe
mill shift.
There was no authorization for
the strike by the pipe mill workers,
who claim they are being unjustly
dealt with by the company manage
ment," Mr.. Tycraft said.

complete squadrons" of the Royal
Canadian Air Force are operat-
ing in the Alaskan islands area
in defense of the northwest ap-
prOacheS to North America, Air
Minister c. G. Powers announced
today.
For security reasons, it is not yet
possible to disclose whether our
squadrons have yet engaged the
Japanese in actual combat Mr..
Power added in a statement.
But our men and our aircraft
are there, assuming their full share
of the task of thwarting japanese
encroachment in the Aleutians and
Alaska"
u. S. Provides Bases.
An announcement that some Ca
madam airmen had gone to the
Aleutians theater was made some
days ago. by 1t. Gen. Kenneth
Stuart, chief of general staff and
temporary commanding officer in
charge of Pacific Coast defenses.
Mr.. Powers statement was the
first disclosure that complete squad
rons were in the Alaska area. The
squadrons, both fighters and bomb
ers, are operating lin the closest
harmony and cooperation with
their United States comrades" Mr.
Power said.
The Canadian squadrons have
been provided with bases and ac-
commodation by the United States
Army.
Under Unified Command.
1T is obviously essential that our
units. in Alaska are, for strategic
reasons, under the operational con-
troll of the United States command
but, of course, there is a completely
unified command all along the Pa
cific Coast and our general officer
commanding the Pacific area and
our air officer commanding the
Western air command (Air Vice
Marshal L. F. StevensonD are in
consultation with the United States
authorities" Mr.. Power said
80 far as Alaskan operations are
concerned there is complete min
Cling of the RCAF and United States
forces. 1t is, in fact, a United Ma
tions force.
Not only have we sent squadrons
into Alaska, but we have been able
considerably to reinforce our own
Pacific air defenses. Additional
squadrons have been moved into
strategic positions in the area and
new squadrons have been organized
on the spot"
