TUCSON, Ariz, March 2l-Grant
Wiprud, 22-year- -old teletype oper-
ator at is-Monthan Field, fur
nished $4,000 bail today and was
freed from custody pending grand
jury investigation of a charge that
he violated the Espionage Act.
The Government charged Mr.
W'iprud removed from the air base
copies of documents containing mil
itary information. He said he only
took them to his lodgings as souve-
Mrs and to show girl friends.
His father, Theodore Wiprud OF
Washington, a member of the Ma
tional Advisory Council for Selective
Service, told the court yesterday his
son was loyal to his Nation and
urged reduction of bail from $4,000
to $4,000. This the court granted.

for ships and landing forces who
then establish bases from which the
planes can fly to repeat the process
over and over.
Such a drive down the Kuriles
would lead to the gentle plains OF
Hokkaido, which resemble our Min

the agglomeration Of inf1ammable

Such a campaign would require
overwhelming command of the air

in the Indies. Moreover it would
encounter strong resistance from
Japan's northern bases. Kushiro

Americas military leaders are
giving increasing indication that the
eventual offensive against Japan
will come from more than one di-
rection, lending weight to specula-
ton that one assault may follow
the pathway of Japan's northern
islands, the Kuriles.
Gen. Douglas Macarthur. in Aus
tralia, speaks Of an offensive from
the south-"I came through (the
japanese front in the East Indies)-
and I will return"
1t. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell, in
Chungking, pictures American and
Chinese troops in Toxic together
the climax of a drive from the
west.
Evidence grows also that neither
in Washington nor Toxic has the
northern route. the great circle
along the Pacific's rim, been for
gotten.
There is a potential battle-ground
much closer home for both sides
than the Australian zone-7,000
miles from San Francisco, 1000
from Toxic. Thus far the north has
been peaceful but with the advent
of spring in the northern hemi-
sphere it will demand increasing at
tention.
Defense May Come First.
On the north. United States ter
ritory is only TOO miles from the
Mikados realm-a fifth as far as
the japanese moved to smash at
Pearl Harbor, less than tenth Of
the span covered by the legions
pouring across the Southern Pacific
to join Gen. Macarthur.
The Americans make no pretense
of believing that the defensive
phase of the Pacific war is ended: !:
they confess there may be hard
blows to be taken before the tide
turns. But plainly they are think
ing far ahead. giving deep study to
every possible avenue of attack.
There also is no guarantee that
a bitter defensive battle may not
have to be fought along the
Aleutian Alaskan Canadian route
before che United Nations can at
tack The preparations now under
way in Western Canada and Alaska
have defensive purposes as well as
offensive. The northern route offers
dangers as great as its opportunities.
The TOO miles mentioned above Is
the distance between Attu, western
most of the United States Aleutians,
and Shumshu, northernmost Of ia
pans Kuriles. The former might be
the pathway of a Japanese foray
against Alaska and Canada, the lat
ter the route of an American de-
scent on Japan's home islands.
Advantage With Offensive.
There is little doubt that before
the vast Pacific war runs its course
those volcano-pocked islands and
the cold foggy seas that wash them
will see plenty of warplanes and
fighting ships and perhaps armies.
The question is which will strike
first. Three and half months OF
the Pacific war have shown both
sides the tremendous advantages
which lie with the offensive.
What Japan may be doing is Of
course hidden except for the highly
confidential data that trickles into
certain Offices in Washington. Some
of the things we are doing-either
to meet invasion in the North or
prepare to launch it against the
enemy-are known to the world:
The building of naval base at
Dutch Harbor. in the Aleutians; the
construction of bases in Alaska; the

CIO Condemns
Ad Racket

COLUMBUS, O.-By unanimous
vote the Ohio CIO Council execu-
tive board has gone on record con-
demning the "work of professional
advertising solicitors who canvass
for ad books issued under the name
of programs, yearbooks or souvenir
reports"
The 1941 state convention praised
Sec. Treas. Ted F. Silvey for his
alertness in preventing Certain at
tempts made during the past year
to inject racketeering into our or
ganization through improper use of
our name in advertising solicita-
ton"
The council officers believe that
the "ill will which accrues to any
organization from an advertising
yearbook or souvenir program far
exceeds the temporary advantage
of any financial return. We also be-
lieve that time and energy put into
carrying out the CIO program will
produce adequates dues and percap-
ita finances"

Project

Mothers and fathers, sisters and
brothers and sweethearts of Local
IL servicemen may now have their
pictures taken and sent to their
loved ones free of charge through
an arrangement made by Local 12's
camera club.
Nothing pleases the boys in the
armed services more than a picture
or letter from their parents, rela-
tives or sweetheart. With this
thought in mind, the Local IL cam
era club offers its services to the
ones concerned.
Every Tuesday and Friday night,
the camera club, located on the
third floor of Local IL, 425 Win
throp ST., will take pictures of par
ents, relatives and sweethearts of
Local II members, between the
hours of 1880 and $3.50 p. m.
The pictures will be taken by
members of the camera club who
do excellent portrait work, and
mailed without cost, either for the
picture or the mailing, to the boys.
The offer holds good for any
relative of Local IL boy in the
service, or for their sweethearts.

So, ,407.09 for its servicemen.
This months collection taken up
among the members of the Willys-
Overland Unit tops all preceding
months figures by more than $500,
and the Unit members are betting
already that the next collection will
go still higher.
Chuck Ballard, Unit chairman,
and Dean Jones, head of the Serv-
icemen's Welfare Committee both
smiled broadly when the money was
counted and the collection went so
far over last months that even the
best guessers missed the ammount
by several hundred dollars.
"We've got great bunch of real
people at the ys-Overland," "
said Chuck Ballard, in commenting
upon the collection. "It's a pleasure
to see our Unit come through like
it has"
Dean Jones was no less enthu-
siastic about the way the Unit came
through again for the servicemen.
"Boys out at the shop are beginning
to bet on what our limit will be in
the collections" said Brother Jones,
"and the figure they set is plenty
high"
More than 700 Unit members
now in the armed forces will re-
ceive boxes again this month no
matter where they may be sta
toned. As usual, the boxes will
contain cigarettes, tobacco, candy,
gum, stationery, shaving soap and
razor blades and many other ar
ticles useful to the members in
service.

Shipyords' Workers Stop
Work To Force
Compliance With
NWLB Order
By Federated Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10-Some
5000 members of unions in the
AFL Metal Trades Department who
took part in a walkout Dec. / in
the South Portland Shipbuilding
Corp. shipyards at South Portland,
Me-, were urged to return to work
by the National War Labor Board
Dec. 2.
The Maritime Commission also
sent wire urging their immediate
return to work and started its
labor relations director for ship
yards, Daniel S. Ring, to the scene.
The stoppage was caused by fail
ures to put into effect the wage
raises ordered by the NWLB last
month, after raises agreed on July
2, to be retroactive to May 4, had
not been forthcoming.
A Maritime Commission spokes-
man said the corporation was short
of workers in the payroll depart
ment. The increases had been put
into effect in some departments
but not all, he said.
1t is the South Portland ship
yard whose management was
roundly condemned, and Admiral
Emory S. Lands Maritime Com
mission along with it, by the
House Merchant Marine Commit
tee last week.
The management was getting a
$5,OO0,O00 fee for the worst pro-
duction record of any shipbuilder,
said the committee. Moreover it
created bad morale among the
workers by failing to live up to the
July contract, the committee found.
The committee demanded cancel
lation Of the contract and new
management.

Organized five years ago, and

education of the wives of workers
into the principles of unionism, and
to work for legislation beneficial to
the workers.
Husbands" said Mrs. Bennett,
fare constantly getting into the
dog house because many of their
wives believe they spend too much
time working for the Local, attend
ing meetings, and working on COM
mittees. If their wives were mem
bers of the Auxiliary, they would
not have this trouble, and that's
the best argument l know of why
husbands who belong to the Union
should encourage their wives to
join our ranks"

With an excellent educational
program that should win over
most wives to an understanding of
the problems and hopes of the

National upply Unit has put on
bust of intense activity over the
past months which is beginning to
burst of intense activity over the

and committeeman. These lads
are really going to town.
Since early this year our Serv-
ime Mems Package Committee,
headed by Ray Pund and Russell
Riley, has carried the ball with
out a let up. The members started
with individual donations of 25
cents and since the number in the
Armed Forces from our Unit has
passed the rs mark, it became nec-
essary to ask for SOC donations in
order to cover the expanding cost.
LOTS OF WORK
In the last month we finished the
War Chest drive with a large SUBJ
scripition. Then came the hard job
of the Transportation COMMITTEES
handling applications for addition
al gas ration. John Dewitt and
Ivan Stanton herein distinguished
themselves in efficient handling of
the Units responsibility. AS the
gas rationing activity was tapering
off, along came Pearl Harbor
Week and another drive for War
Bonds. In this drive, like the gas
rationing, our officers and time
clerks deserve great credit for their
efficient and loyal work.
But even while this latter activ-
ity was on, the Unit managed to
start campaign to lombard Con-
gress with 800 postcards against
anti-labor legislation, specially the
elimination of overtime pay. This
activity is intended to become more
intense in the near future as the

These and other activities
only possible because Of a Ee-

and officers, working under a han

The large addition to the plant

workers are being shifted daily.
This tends to slow down activity
until the addition is settled and or
ganized. However, means are. being
found to do the necessary work
and to plan future activity.
