|AFL Convention Gets
Appeal for Unity
With Soviet Labor
Briton Urges Efforts
To Join Workers of
United Motions
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TORONTO, Oct. Slack Tanner
fraternal delegate from the British
Trades Union Congress, appealed to
the American Federation OF Labor
today for a practical, working unity
with Russian trade unions as well as
those of the other United Nations
That unity, he said, should en-
brace all American workers, CIO
and railway brotherhoods as we'll as
the AFL.
Mr.. Tanner declared, too. it was
a matter of supreme urgency that
we take the offensive as soon as
possible. Given a second front,
as a visible target at which our
workers can aim, miracles will be
performed in the factories"
Without mentioning specifically
the decision of the AFL Executive
Council last May to cooperate with
the Soviet trade unions only indi-
rectly, through the British, instead
of through a proposed three-na ton
association, Mr.. Tanner said: Il be-
lieve that no one but Hitler profits
by the sectional differences and
divisions which keep us apart from
our fellow trade union anti-Fascists
."
Beginning Made.
Conscious of the AFL councils
decision to reserve to itself the right
to include other American unions
In any American representation, Mr..
Tanner said:
"A beginning has already been
made to bring about Allied labor
unity, and 1 fervently hope and
would strongly urge that the great
est efforts be made to join together
the workers of Britain, Russia and
the United States-and 1 mean all
the workers of the United States
the AFL, CIO and railway brother
hoods-the workers of Latin Amer
lea, Canada, and others of the Unit
ed Nations in firm SOLIDARITY and
practical unity.
At yesterdays session Robert P,
Patterson, United States Undersec-
retary OF War, praised labors con-
tribution to the war effort, but said
the job ahead would require suspen-
sion of many peacetime standards
as to hours and working conditions
and 100 per cent observance Of the
no-strike pledge.
In over two years." he told union
leaders at the American Federation
OF Labor convention, you have
never failed us. You have given
the most cordial cooperation to
the department and to the Nation
In its time of need"
Discusses Size Of Army.
The Undersecretary said people
have asked what the size OF the
Army will ultimately be. The au-
d1ence broke into table pounding
applause when he declared. The
answer to that question is that it
will large enough and strong enough
to whip Hitler and his Japanese
allies
Referring to criticism of rifles,
tanks and planes which died away
In the face OF actual performance,
Mr.. Patterson said, Careless criti-
cism does not advance our cause; it
serves Hitler's."
John M. Fewkes, president of the
American Federation of Teachers,
asserted that organized labor does
not receive a fair deal in the press
and that outside the labor press and
a few others the only place where
your organization will get a fair
hearing is in the classrooms of
America"

I Tanker Was Struck
 By Three Torpedoes
Continued from Page D

New Bedford, Mass, Jan. 15-(UP) I'm almost certain it was Ger man submarine that torpedoed the tanker Norness off Block Island early yesterday. got that idea when told me that the submarine passed so close to his lifeboat that he could hear it's crew talking in guttural voices.
 Capt. Hansen told me he couldn't quite be sure whether they were Nazis because he and his men had to crouch down in their lifeboats to avoid possible machine gunning by the submarine crew.
 No Warning Given
 Whoever was in command of that submarine, Hansen said, seemed to be pretty casual about the whole business because the sub-a big one stayed right on top after firing three torpedoes at 10-minute inter vals. The attack came without any warning at all.
 About 2:30 yesterday afternoon, we on the Malvina D. were fish ing the Block Island area when we noticed something floating in the distance. One of our boys figured it was a buoy, but as we got nearer we saw 1t was dirty looking life boat. In the lifeboat were Capt. Hansen ana eight of his men.
 They had been hard pressed how ing and bailing out their little boat in heavy seas for about B hours. They had hoisted a peajacket, fas- tened to an oar, as distress sig nal.
 We took the captain and his men aboard the Malvina D. They sure looked tired. One of them had a busted kneecap. We gave them all hot coffee.
 The way Hansen described it to me, the submarine must have cir cled his boat before firing its sec ond torpedo, which landed amid ships on the opposite side.
 First Two Torpedoes
 The first two torpedoes sent oil , gushing about the decks of the tanker. guess it was pretty hard for the men to stay on their feet. Then the third torpedo struck smashing into the engine room and exploding with such terrific force that it blew away the aft deck.
 Fortunately, however, by this time the tanker's crew were in their life boats and rowing on the oil-slicked | sea.
 Capt. Hansen figured he was pret- l ty lucky to get his crew off with the loss of only one man. think it was a miracle that good many of them weren't killed by the series of direct hits.
 The men we picked up weren't much good for talking on the trip to New Bedford. They seemed dazed. Capt Hansen told me he didn't know how long the subma- rine had bene trailing him. We pulled into New Bedford about Il o'clock last night.
 My first trip as captain sure was exciting. ..-.

NINE FLYERS IN
 WRECKED PLANE

Continued from Page D tion. The group was flying over the San Bernardino mountains at $500 fete early Tuesday night. They went into heavy clouds and when they emerged one plane was missing.
 Reports from San Bernardino re- vealed that at least two people had heard and observed a low flying plane, as well as red and white land ing flares, in what was described as the Lytle Creek section near Cajon Pass, where the official report from army headquarters said the plane was lost.
 Search Was Intensive
 An intensive search has been maintained since then, both in the air and on the ground, but fear was expressed that 1t might not be until the snows had melted that trace of the plane would be found, so heavy had been recent falls in the moun- tains. In the report from San Ber- nardino to The Democrat 1t was stated that 8 number of crews were being formed to scale Keller Peak in an effort to reach the scene o1 the wrecked plane, but the noun tainside was reported covered deer with snow.
 Inasmuch as another plane recent. ly crashed in approximately the same locality as the Martin bomber vanished local relatives were await. ing more definite proof as to tht identity of the wreckage on Keller Peak.

GEN. MACARTHUR HAS NOT BUDCED
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D planes were shot down by U. s. anti aircraft guns and others were dam aged.
 Casualties among American troops were light and only small damage was done to fixed installations. The communique indicated that MacArthur has employed the pause in Japanese bombing of Corregidor to strengthen his anti-aircraft de- lenses, which may have been bat tered in the earlier Japanese at tacks.
 Land Attack Severe The land attack, the communique said, has been aggressive" with the Japanese making attempts at gen. eral infiltration all along the line"
 Although greatly outnumbered, the communique said, American and Philippine troops are holding well prepared positions with cour- age and determination. The American communique gave no indication of the lines now being held by MacArthur in northern Ba- taan. The Japanese claimed that tehir forces have captured Hermosa, an important point ln northeast Ba- taan and that in addition to the Ol- angapo naval base just north of the Bataan line they have taken Grande Island, small fort which protects Subic Bay where Olangapo IS situated. There were also Axis re- ports of Japanese air attacks on a U. s. airfield east of Subic Bay which would indicate that MacAr- thur still holds positions north of the Bataan Province line.
 As MacArthur fought his lone battle in Luzon, American air and sea power was being concentrated against Japan on second line of defense in the Dutch East Indies.
