Auto Workers Propose
Super Economic Command

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. rs R.-
Creation Of a supreme economic
command was proposed yesterday
by the Executive Board of the CIO
United Automobile, Aircraft and
Agricultural Implement Workers
to end what it termed "the chaos
that now affects production, priori-
ties, raw materials and manpower. :"
The proposal, one of seven made
by the board. was announced in a
statement by President r. J. Thomas,
who asserted that whatever is
wrong with labor morale can be
traced directly to the lack of effec-
tive direction in Washington.
Business still dominates the War

said. Mr.. Nelson Donald M. Mel

lacks the CUTS to clean out those
businessmen who have placed their

Merchant Seomen Need Course
In Gunnery, Sub Victim Says
Tells How GLASGOW School Prepares Sailors
To Protect Themselves From Enemy Attack

This is the last OF q series OF
articles in Uhich an American
seaman iron, GalDeston, Ter,
rescued from, a tanker recently
torpedoed, cites deficiencies he
has noted in the protection OF
cargo ships and tdnkers against
submarine and airpldne attacks.
BY FRANK EDWARD Mccoy,
Written for North American Newspaper
Alliance.
Having attended the defensively
equipped merchant ships (DEMS)
school in Glasgow, Scotland, and
having visited the United States
Gunnery School in Boston, I believe
a comparison of the two courses
will Be a valuable contribution to
our defense of cargo and oil car
riers at sea.
At the DENIS I finished the short
anti aircraft course given to British
naval and merchant seamen and re-
ceived an "AA" ticket good for four
months. I then attended the air
recognition class and thereafter
was enrolled in the regular gun
layers class, where, after a week S
study, I was sent home to New York
on a transport. I wanted to finish
the gun-layer course but the Ameri-
can consul would not permit me to
stay on, despite the request of 1t
j. C. Whittingham that I be per
mitted to remain and complete my
studies.
I was told that merchant seamen
were permitted to attend the Boston
Gunnery School, so on August Z
went to that city. The officers in
charge received me cordially and
politely but were somewhat puzzled
about where to place me. 1t seems
that some merchant seamen attend
ed the school some time ago but
none has attended lately.

that old book are set down the bare
bones Of an unbeatable sort Of war
that struck the English as being
new and startling but that in real
ity was old as the hills and will
always be as good and as unbeat-
able as 1t ever was.
Rogers wrote the rules for the
Rangers-28 of them.
To name a few, they were to be
constantly and fully equipped with
rifle, ammunition and food and
ready to march at a minutes warn
ing
They were to march In single
files with fankers, so that in case
of attack the fewest possible num-
ber would be hit.
Prisoners were to be kept sep
arate till examined.
When attacked all Rangers were
to lie down, to keep behind trees
and rocks or in holes in the ground
and to return the enemy's fire in
sections, so that the whole detach-

at any given moment.
If hopelessly surrounded, the de-
tachment was to scatter and reas-
/ semble later at predetermined
point
Sentries were so stationed that
night-changing was unnecessary
| profound secrecy and silence being
Of the greatest importance"
The whole detachment was to be
awake and ready at dawn, that
benig the time when savages choose
to fall upon their enemies"
In case of encountering superior
forces Rangers were to wait for
evening before attacking, 80 the
enemy will not know your num-
bers, and if you are repulsed your
retreat will be favored by dark
ness"
They were told to scout around
an encampment before leaving It,
to make sure no enemy had ap-
preached during the night.
They were ordered not to cross
rivers by regular fords, never to re-
turn to their base by regular roads,
always to choose evening for an at
tack by water, so to escape obser-
vation. Such" wrote Rogers, "are
the rules to be observed In the
ranging service. There are, how
ever, thousand occurrences that
might make it necessary to depart
from them, and to put other arts
and strategems in practice, in which
cases every mans reason and judg.
ment must be his guide; and to de
this properly, he must preserve firm.
ness and presence of mind on every
, occasion.
So Rogers enlisted none a.
Rangers but such as were used t.
, travelling and hunting, and in who's,
, courage and fidelity I could con.
fide." In the misty dark of earl,

ter storms. when ordinary men were
huddled over their fires, the Rangers
slung snowshoes on their backs, fast
ened skates to their boots, and
emerged from the whirling snow
fakes without sound to deal an
icy death to men who thought them
selves safe.
Tougher Than Enemies
Tough enemies, Rogers argued,
can't be appeased by anything ex-
cept greater toughness. He set out,
one cold January day, with "a
Rangers and was intercepted by a
superior force of $50 French and
Indians. The French and Indians
surrounded the Rangers, killed and
wounded a dozen of them, smashed
Rogers hand and wrist with a bull
let, and demanded the surrender OF
the detachment.
They used,' Rogers wrote, many
arts and strategems to induce us
to submit, sometimes threatening
us with severity If we refused, as
surfing us that they every moment
expected large reinforcement,
which would cut us to pieces without
mercy; at other times flattering and
cajollng us, declaring it was a pity
so many brave men should be lost;
that we should, upon our surrender
be treated with the greatest com
passion and kindness; calling me by
name, they gave me the strongest
assurances of their esteem; but nc
| one being dismayed by menaces, OF
| f1attered by fair promises, we deter
mined to keep our ground as lona
AS there were two lett to stand by
each other"
In the night Rogers picked ur
his wounded and fought his way
to safety. Twenty of his IA men
were killed, but he killed Ill French
and Indians.
Rogers Rangers fought the battle
on snowshoes against enemy forces
outnumbering them seven to one
On March 6, 1859, with the ther-
mometer below zero and 4 feet o.

about Rogers and his Rangers

Relief in World Crisis
Rests With Church,
Bishop Tells Seminar
Another Reviews Woys
Catholics Con Help Solve
Problems of Times

The whole world crisis is predomi
nantly religious, and the RESPONSE
bllity for bringing about relief rests
on the church, Bishop Miguel Dario
Miranda, of Tunalcingo, Mexico
told the Inter- American Seminar
on Social Studies, meeting at the
Hamilton Hotel, last night. The
Most Rev. Bishop Miguel de Andrea
OF Argentina. reviewed ways in
which Catholics could aid in solv-
Ing the world problems.
Discussing causes of present world
conditions, Bishop Miranda said the
spread of irreligion was from the
individual to the family and from
there to the whole of society with
all its institutions. Even though all
OF the wisdom of the human mind
be employed, he added, without re-
ligion all efforts will be in vain.
Since human means are not
enough and supernatural means
must be employed, it follows, he as
serted, that responsibility rests
principally upon the one institution
able to control supernatural means,
that is, the church.
Faith Must Be Put to Work.
But the problem is to put Cathol-
icism to work." he continued. I'VE
have tremendous resources. Only in
one nation are Catholics in a mi
nority in the Western Hemisphere
and in that nation minority by no
means signifies weakness. In all the
other countries there are immense
reserves of spiritual riches. The
tourists may not see these riches,
but we who live close to our people
know them. The resurgence of faith
In Mexico after one of the bitterest
and most systematic and clever per-
secutions of modern times is an ex-
ample Of the strength of the faith
IN these countries, and we who have
seen this example must tell it in
such a meeting as this"
Bishop De Andrea warned against
exaggerated salvation of souls.
Other leaders, he said, will take
the people away from the church
by talking of their bodily needs, and
by satisfying them. Spirit influences
matter, he continued, but influence
OF matter is immense over spirit.
Cooperation Stressed.
DR.. Sobral Pinto of Rio de Janeiro
told the seminar that all work of
civilization Is work of human CO.
operation. The relation of peoples
may be either by virtue of force
or by cooperation. He explained
that the first is pagan and the latter
Christian. The present crisis. he
asserted, has been provoked by the
absence Of God from our thoughts
and plans.
DR.. don Rafael Caldera R., deputy
to the National Congress of Vere-
zuela, urged the restoration of
Christian solidarity in families and
social classes, in economic groups,
among nations and among all the
peoples OF the world.
