Lewis AIoof
from Peace
Truce for Durotion
Plan is Submitted

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-(P)-
The decision on a proposed La
Dor truce for the duration of the
war was placed before the CLIO
executive council today with
John l.. Lewis, Clio founder
and first president, standing
stiffly aloof.
The peace proposal, under
stood to have emanated from the
White House, was reported to
call for a three-man committee
from the congress of industrial
organizations and a similar
group from the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, these committees
to consult together and with the
White House on jurisdictional
disputes and other matters relat-
ing to Labors participation in
the war
Washington sources under
stood that the ALL already had
endorsed the plan through Presi-
dent William Green and Secre-
tary-treasurer George Meany,
who conferred with President
Wilson this week.
PRESIDENTS LETTER
Prior to the melting of the CIO
Council, President Philip Muir
ray acknowledged he had receiv-
ed a letter from President Roosc-
welt regarding CIO-AFL peace
suggestions and said it would be
placed before the council today.
(The New York Times said the
executive committee of the
council, composed of Murray and
the six CLIO vice-presidents, had
endorsed the truce idea and
would recommend its adoption
today
Meanwhile, Lewis flatly and
tartly respected an invitation to
attend the meeting and present
his own views on Labor peace.
Earlier in the week his sugges-
ton that CIO-AFL peace nego-
tiations be reopened drew the
sharp comment from Murray
that any such plans should or
iginate through his office.
REFUSES TO ATTEND
II will not attend your board
meeting Lewis fatty told Muir
ray in a letter made public in
Washington.
In a sharp reply to Murray's
stand on initiating peace plans,
Lewis said:
Such an assumption on your
part constitutes an astonishing
error. No such delegation Of
power has been given you by the
constitution of the the CLIO, by
any legislative convention of the
Clio, nor by any device of par
liamentary procedure. To the
contrary, the third constitutional
convention of the CLIO specifical-
ly conveyed this authority to
three of its representatives, de-
signaling them by name"
The standing committee which
he said held this authority, in
cluded Murray, Lewis and Sid
ncy Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
and now high government la
Dor official.
Lewis also denied he had
reached any agreement with the
AFL concerning a peace plan.
There we're no indications whe-
Their the CLIO unit would consid-
er Lewis plans despite his fail
ure to appear or whether Lewis
supporters would boycott the
session.

FRIDAY,
|W.P. B. Prohibits Use
Of Rubber in Girdles,
Many Other Articles
Essential CiNiIiun Goods
Containing Product Will
Be Cut IS Per Cent

The War Production Board to-
day prohibited the use Of crude
rubber or latex after February l
for the manufacture Of girdles or
other foundation garments, golf
and tennis balls, erasers, bath
ing suits and caps, lawn and
garden hose and hundreds Of
other common household items.
Extending already strict Govern
ment control over the rubber In
dustry, the board made public q
long list Of essential" products
which may be manufactured: estab-
lished production quotas for each
class Of products, and directed that
use Of crude rubber for q wide
variety Of essential" civilian goods
be reduced about IS per cent below
recent annual consumption.
Only Reclaimed Rubber.
After February /, the order
stipulated, all products not on the
list may be manufactured only from
reclaimed rubber.
Reclaimed rubber, experts say,
cannot be used satisfactorily in
material which is subject to recur-
rent stretching, such as girdles. After
q few stretches, 1t doesn't bounce
back into shape.
Since last December 49,. when the
Government halted production of all
non-essential goods pending a de-
tailed study Of the rubber shortage,
the ndustry's output has been sub
1ect to general limitations. The new
w. p. B. order tells the industry
exactly what it can and can't make
and how much of it.
Specific permission must be OBJ
tanned from the board before crude
rubber or latex can be used to make
tires or tubes, retreading material,
insulating compounds, jar rings and
other items. Further, w. p. B. may
at any time change specifications Of
all products on the approved list to
reduce the amount of crude rubber
used.

Remember Pearl Harbor

On December Z 1941, this country realized what the
significance of the old saying Watch friends your
enemy will not harm you. Your enemy will not harm
from the very fact that you will keep such close
watch him he will get the chancebu your friend
can face to face with you-"sup with you and at
YOUR unguarded moment thrust a dagger in your heart
That is exactly what Japan did Under the pretense OF
an effort settle the differences without bloody war
fare, Japan face to face with the United States
in the meantime her hands hidden behind her and
it was at the very time she got her chance to spring
surprise attack We shall remember that attack-Pear
Harbor will be forgotten as long the world shall
stand this bitter lesson of experience will serve as
a defense weapon in all future developments.
