Labor Seeks
Seat on WpB
Droft Progrom
for Nelson
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-(R)
Labor unions, pressing for
greater participation in direct
ing the nations war effort,
drafted today for presentation
TO chairman Donald NJ. Nelson a
program calling for representa-
ton on the War Production
Board.
Assured of hearing by
WPB's chief, a committee COM
posed Of three AEJ and three
Go members agreed to present
the unions demands at the earl
lest opportunity.
The petition for a labor repre-
sentative on the board was pre-
scented 10 Nelson yesterday at a
meeting called by the chairman
himself for a conference with Of
ficials of 10 international unions
on materials shortages.
The group selected for the as
signment constituted the Labor
Policy committee. The members
are Frank p. Fenton, AFL di-
rector of organization; j o h n
p. Frey, president of the AFL
metal trades department; George
Masterson, president of the AFL
plumbers and steamfitters union;
Clinton S. Golden, Pittsburgh,
assistant to the president of the
Clio United Steel workers of
America; John Green, Camden,
N. j., president of the CIO in
dustrial union of Marine and
shipbuilding workers, and Wal
ter p. Reuther, member of the
executive board of the Clio Uni
ted Automobile workers.
Nelson's challenge of the con-
illusions presented in a pream-
BILE to the resolution requesting a
labor member on WPB, resulted
in elimination of that part of the
document which accused the
board of being unbalanced and
one sided"
The withdrawn preamble also
charged that unless production
procedures and controls are re-
vised, in six months the country
would have ships without en-
gines, tanks without guns, and
the steel industry at three-quart-
ers capacity because of scrap
shortage.

Stephen Early, presidential
secretary, said:
"The president will speak
through this assembly to the
youth of the world everywhere,
in United Nations and enemy
countries, too, if they can be
reached, emphasizing the duties,
responsibilities and opportuni-
ties of youth in the days of war
and in the days of peace that
will follow.
Early said an effort would be
made through the Army, Navy
and office of war information,
to complete arrangements for
men on naval and coast guard
vessels and men in military
camps, wherever they may be,
to hear the chief executives
talk.
NAVY RECEPTION
The August 81 address, which
will be about ten minutes long,
Early said, is set for about 4:30
pm, Eastern War Time. The
Navy will arrange for the pro-
gram to reach Navy units and
hospitals at stations all over the
world where representatives OF
the bureau of medicine and sur
gerry are on duty.
Many of the United Nations,
including Russia, the Neither
lands and England, Early said,
are sending official delegates to
the students assembly.
China was unable to do so,
he said, but Madame Chang
Kai Shek, wife of the Chinese
generalissimo, will designate her
country's representatives.
Mr.. Roosevelt revealed yester-
day at his press conference
that he was preparing plan
to keep down living costs by
stabilizing both wages and farm
prices. He said both labor and
agriculture must make sacri-
fees, tough sacrifices, and that
restrictions could not be placed
on one without being imposed on
the other.

lands before the war and the
bulk of the nation gave an un-
qualified answer to Jap a n

Burmese Uniformed Bur-

Indies was organized and we'll
developed long before the out
break of the war. Japanese
agents had tried hard to link the
Japanese Asia for the Asiatics
movement with the aspirations
of the Indonesians. But there
was an almost total lack of sue
cess. Not even the most deter
mined Indonesian leaders would
countenance any assistance to
the Japanese. The Netherlands
East Indies Army was compos-
ed about equally of Dutch and
native troops, and there were no
important evidences Of detection
among the natives during the
fighting. Cooperation today is
small and, in the main, the re-
suit of force.

longer than in any other Euro

bodians-were inclined to well
come them. After a years ex-
perience with the Japanese they
turned in the other direction. In
Indo- China today there is no un-
ity whatever between the Japa-
nesc and their Oriental cousins.

But, in the main, when any of

To Mrs. Erskine and her gal lant crew we pay hearty thanks for coming to our Outpost for a dance in our new Rec" Hall.
 Though the ride out here was a bit rough in Army trucks, and the floor was not that of a city ballroom, you took it all in the true American spirit, and we certainly did appreciate your eff forts.
 You added a touch to our Army lives which we have long missed, for many of us have been here almost a year and this was our first dance. Were we happy! 1 wish you could have heard the many fine com ments which were spoken from "deep down under", where the real spirit of each man lives. Yes, you did something to us all-and we're nightly glad you came.
 Thank you again for com ing and we hope you return very soon.
