Bidd|e Ready 10 Act
On Decentralization
OF Bund Members
Plans Early Move in 30
Cases, With Hundreds
More to Follow

Attorney General Biddle said to-
day that at least 80 actions would
start soon to take away the citizen
ship of persons believed to have been
loyal to Axis nations at the time
they took their oa.hs of citizenship.
Several hundred" such cases will
follow, he said.
Those denaturalized will be ordered
interned. he said.
He mentioned only the German
American Bund by name, but added
there were other organizations, in
Guiding some italian groups, affected.
The investigation of the whole
theology, philosophy and activity of
the bund" has been under way for
some time, Mr.. Biddle said, but we
are now ready to shoot and shoot
quickly"
Petitions to Be Filed.
Speaking at his first press con-
ference in several weeks, the At
torney General said that he believed
that membership in the bund formed
a prima facie case for a denatural-
lzation petition, and that where it
could be shown that the citizen was
an officer or particularly active the
case for taking away citizenship
would be much stronger.
The proceedings will be brought
by United States attorneys who will
file petitions for Standardization
before the immigration courts. The
respondents will be given 60 days in
which to make their answers.
Mr.. Biddle cited a number of
statements made by bund members
showing that the organization was
tied in to the Nazi ideology.
No one can force us to give our
soul to America" were the words
used by one bund member.
Labor Questions Discussed.
Turning to labor matters, MI
Biddle said that Assistant Attorney
General Thurman Arnold in his re-
cent statement on the registration
of labor unions before a congress
siOnal committee was not expressing
the views of the Justice Department.
Mr.. Biddle said he had not studied
the question of the incorpora ton of
labor unions and that he did not
care to express an opinion.
Il think the 40-hour week should
not be repealed" Mr. Biddle said
He expressed the view that the
timing of Mr.. Arnold's statement
was unfortunate.
In reply to question, Mr. Biddle
indicated that he is not planning
to run for Governor of Pennsylvania
this year.
Mr. Biddle revealed that an under
standing is being worked out be-
tween the Justice and War Depart
ments for suspending certain pros
ecutions under the antitrust laws
in cases where the two departments
are convinced that such prosecutions
would impede the war effort.

and anti-aircraft weapons
All the women, numbering about
25 are from civil service lists.
Col. Knowles has charge of the
guards. 1t all began, he related
when some of the men complained it
was too cold for guard duty. He had
heard that women withstood cold
better. He doesn't vouch for that
but he does say that women guards
are as efficient as men in manning
gates, patrolling outposts and the
like here.

years old. They work round the

By Labor During War
Regional Director Says
Move Would Permit
Greatest Use of Skill
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Orgsnized
labor unions, as a further contribu-
ton toward the Nations war pro-
duction, should dispense with the
closed shop for the duration, be-
lieves William H. Spencer. regional
director of the War Manpower Com
mission.
BY giving up the closed-shop pro-
visions during the war. Mr.. Spencer
told a wartime manpower sympo-
sium last night, the labor unions
would permit 'the greatest possible
use Of all workers skills."
The VINO official, who Is dean
of the school of business at the
University Of Chicago, also asserted
that I'VE may be bringing in Ito
industry some men too young from
the secondary schools" and that
lin the long run this practice may
be damaging to the war effort"
Pay Problem Separate.
"The solution for part Of the
manpower problem is longer work
week." Mr.. Spencer said The pay
problem is separate issue and is
up to the War Labor Board.
Business as usual can't 60 on if
we are to win the war. A lot of
non-war industries and unessential
business must go. Some of you are
going to be hurt. The Manpower
Commission hopes to accomplish its
end by voluntary agreements, but
If these cannot be had it will be
necessary to ask for legislation with
teeth in it,"
Want Stabilized Market.
Mr.. Spencer also cited the pirating
OF labor and boarding of skilled
workers as interfering with the
proper and orderly managing Of in
dustry, and said that manufacture
ers who have boarded skilled workers
will be forced to disclose and dis
gorge the men so that their skills
may be used to the utmost"
Discussing the pirating Of labor,
he declared that industry always has
maintained its right to hire at the
gate. but to have an orderly and
stabilized labor market, industry
must cooperate with the War En-
ployment Service to stabilize the
market"
He gave figures showing the in
crease in the number of workers in
war industries and the decrease in
farm workers, and predicted a fur
ther drop unless action was taken to
halt the drafting of farm labor and
the migration of agriculture workers
