Emergency Hospital Seeks
To Halt EmpIoye Election

Emergency Hospital today sought
an Injunction in District Court to
halt an election among its building
service and maintenance employees
that had been ordered by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board in
order to determine their bargaining
agent.
The hospital contended it is a
non-profit, charitable organization
whose conduct is not within the
Jurisdiction of the National Labor
Relations Act. The hospital suit
also said its operation does not
affect commerce within the meaning
of the act.
Electioneering by two unions is
interfering with the work of its
employees, the hospital told the court,
naming the unions as the Building
Service and Maintenance Workers,
Local 120, c. I. O., and the Building
Service Employees International
Union, A. F. Of L.
The board ruled on April 20 that
the election should be held within
80 days.

ChurchiI|'s Backers
Win Continuation Of
Labor's operation
Party Overwhelmingly
Defects Condemnation
OF Role in Cabinet
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, May 25.-Advocates
of continued participation by
the Labor party in the Church
Ill government won an easy vic
tory today in the first test OF
sentiment favoring a withdrawal
a course suggested earlier by
Lord Strabolgi.
BY a vote Of 2,31s, 900 to 1854 900 the
party's annual conference defeated
an amendment condemning labor s
role in the government. The amend
ment had been attached to a reso-
luton offered by Clement R. Attlee
Mr.. Churchills dominions secretary
calling for continuance of the war
until victory is achieved.
Strabolgi Urges Reconsideration.
The Churchill government Is
composed Of Conservatives-the ma
jority party-and a number of La
Dor and Liberal secretaries.
Lord Strabolgi told the conference
the time had come to consider
strongly the possibility Of with.
drawing its members from the gov
ernment.
The labor peers proposal, however
followed statements by two other
party leaders who advocated con-
tinued collaboration with the Con-
servative Party majority.
One of them was Mr.. Atlee, who
declared that those who wished
to return to party strife, divertine
attention from winning the war
were making "a big mistake"
Attlee Offers Resolution.
w. H. Green, Labor Party presi-
dent, declared that many of US
believed that withdrawal from the
national government would, under
the present circumstances, be un.
thinkable"
Mr.. Attlee introduced a genera
resolution relating to continuation o.
the war until victory is achieved
but opponents quickly offered ar
amendment to delete the clause ap.
proving labor's role in the Churchill
government and asserted the tims
has come ito say to the Tories w
have had two years of your method.
to bring about victory and you hav,
failed miserably."
The conference unanimously ap
proved plan for governmental
requisitioning of Britain's coal in
dustry. The industry would be ad
ministered by a national boart
representing the government, owner
and miners.

|Airacobras Flown
Directly From Plant
To Allied War Fronts
Hord-Hittine Pursuit
Fighters Using Special
Lone-Ronge Equipment
By thu Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May 25.-The
planes that are doing Uncle
Sans fighting job against Axis
aviators, the Bell Aircraft Aira-
cobras, are being flown to their
fighting fields, President Law
renee D. Bell disclosed yesterday.
Speedy, maneuverable and more
heavily armored than any other pur-
suit fighter ship, these planes are
now going directly to their own
stations in many parts Of the world,
he said. Special equipment allows
them to make the long hops
Mr. Bell showed correspondents OF
the National Association of Manu-
facturers production for victory"
tour the long assembly lines over
which many planes are being turned
out daily.
Engine Of Deviltry."
The Airacobra is a specially de-
signed fighting ship, with one liquid
cooled engine, armed with machine
guns and one cannon, and capable
of steep climbs, high speed and the
ability to Outright anything else in
the air." Mr.. Bell said.
Its an engine Of deviltry," one
correspondent remarked when he
saw his first Airacobra ready for
fight. When he looked at the
dozens on the field-"entirely too
many to be here at one time" a
Bell ofiicial said-he added, 1T looks
like an Army flying field, but why
don't they get off to where they are
going to fight"
The answer was that bad weather
has delayed the delivery of more
than so planes for three days. But
correspondents were assured that
the field will be cleared in a short
time when flying conditions permit.
The Airacobra is the answer, Mr..
Bell said, to the aerial pursuit
forces desires, and has been de-
veloped with only one thought in
mind, to make the most deadly air
plane possible in the smallest pos
sible ship.
Highest Powered.
With the machine guns, auto
matte guns and cannon that Bell
engineers have found possible to
mount on the Airacobra, it can be
said frankly it is the highest pow
cred plane, considering both arma-
ment and flying speed, that has
ever been produced since the war
started.
Much OF the armament on the
Airacobras must remain a military
secret. Much of it is more for
midable than any plane correspond
ents on the N. A. M. tour have seen.
What the correspondents do know
from the fight demonstration that
Bell aircraft put on, is that in the
opinion of American and United
Nations aviation engineers, the
Airacobra will do the job that has
to be done and will do 1t better than
any Axis plane yet in production.

Refused by House
$l3, 500, 900 Home Item
Leads to Rejection
On Voice Vote

The disputed District housing
appropriation bill was sent back
to the Senate today when the
House refused to accept a Sen
ate amendment adding $13, $780,
600 to the s29, SOC, 900 measure the
House approved.
The House upheld by voice vote
the recommendation its conferees,
headed by Chairman Cannon of the
Appropriations Committee. made
after meeting Senate conferees last
Thursday.
The House still refused to provide
money to build 5000 family units, for
which the Senate had earmarked the
s13,5O0, 900.
The appropriation originally wa.
designed to carry out an authorize
ton of $50 100000 to provide public
housing and accompanying facilities
for war workers in the Metropolitan
area, which Congress approved as a
rider to the Lanham Act. The
House slashed the appropriation to
$29 500 600, leaving $4,000, 900 fol-
dormitories and s17,500 900 for pub
lie works required by the housing
developments. The Senate accepted
the two main House items, but added
the sum to house families.
Today the House agreed TO sew.
eral minor Senate amendments
The item in controversy was sem
back to the Senate. and If, that body
refuses to accept, the conferees will
attempt to iron out the differences
again.
In asking the House to accept
the conference report of its group
Representative Cannon said the
committee had been willing to ap-
propriate whatever sum might bt
required for dormitories, but die
not believe the need for family
units had been proved.
Mr.. Cannon pointed to 81 columns
of advertisements for houses to rent
or to sell appearing in a Washing
ton newspaper yesterday. He also
pointed out, in response to sugges-
ton from the floor, that 5000 family
units already were being built by
the Alley Dwelling Authority. Other
members suggested that war workers
could leave their families back home
and work here alone for the dura-
ton.
The housing authorization fol-
lowed request from the President
and the Budget Bureau for $50,
900 to relieve the Districts housine
emergency. According to the orig.
inal plan $3o.0O0,000 was to 60 te
housing and 10000 900 to utilities

miles of Australia when one of
their planes. crippled by anti-air-
craft fire, struck the vessel amid

lenged them.
For the second time in 10 days

Australian flyers, however, were too
busy fighting on Japanese planes to
observe the results carefully. Three
enemy Zero fighters were shot down.
Another raiding force demolished
an airdrome building and damaged
two grounded Japanese aircraft at
Lac, New Guinea.
Withstood 10 Hits.
The sunken Allied ship was said
to have withstood 10 hits from $50
pound bombs and near misses which

plane crashed on board.
I'VE could have made out if that
plane hadn't crashed on the deck"
said one wounded crewman. 1T

Our fellows stuck it out and got
nine planes. I saw at least four
Japanese bombers 60 down."
The ship began to list Immediately
but some of her crew remained
aboard and had subdued the flames
by the next day when a destroyer
came alongside, removed the men

anese forces had surged across the
upper Salween River in China's
southwestern Province of Yunnan
in the face of heavy enemy fire and

near a Burma road bridge which
the Chinese forces had destroyed.
AS result of the Japanese
thrust across the turbulent stream
and its difficult mountain walls, the

showing signs of confusion and de-
moralization.
Paoshan, the next objective up
the Burma road toward Running,

and IS miles from the river crossing.
Running, the eastern terminal Of
the Burma road, is 375 miles from
the crossing.
