BOSTON. Nov. 9.-President
Philip Murray, keynoting the
fifth CIO convention, laid down
today what he called the basic
terms of labor unity in the
United States and assailed John
L. Lewis for holding a "peeve."
Without mentioning Mr.. Lewis by
name, he said the former CIO chief
had the "boastfulness of fat rab-
bits" His reference was to state
ment by Mr.. Lewis at the Mine
Workers convention that there is
no rabbit in me-
Labor unity, declared Mr.. Muir
ray, must not mean a policy of ap-
peasement and it must guarantee
the abolition of racial discrimina-
ton.
Disclaiming all personal political
ambitions, Mr.. Murray said his
prime interest was in achieving "a
real unity, and not a policy of ap-
peasement. The interests of the
CIO and the individual must be
protected"
Lewis Name Not Mentioned.
Speaking with a slow. measured
deliberation, the CIO chief added
1T is wise to member that any
kind of unity must needs compre-
hend the complete abolition OF all
forms of racial discrimination"

NEW YORK, Nov. 9-In an i'm
piled admission that Marshal Erwin
Rommel was in rapid, difficult re-
treat, the German radio said today
the Egyptian rainy season had
started, considerably facilitating
the task of escorting German rear
guard formations
THE British maneuver to over
take or circumvent them has be-
come practically impossible" it
added.
Hours of torrential rains have
considerably impaired operations,
especially of heavy arms, and rem
dered air activity impossible" the
Germans said in this broadcast,
which sounded more hopeful than
convincing
This information coming from
Berlin was remarkable because OF
its implied admission that Marshal
Rommel was on the run. and inter-
esting because of Allied dispatches
from the Egyptian front telling Of
American and British air activity,
but no sign Of German or Italian
planes.
Paths in the desert are deep In

that other reinforcements were

Six Troopships Attacked.
The Vichy radio said Nazi Stukas

ships in the harbor o. Algiers early

Reynolds Calls
Conferees on
1een-AgeDraft
House Refuses to Go
On Record Fuvorinq
Year of Training

The House today sustained the
plea of military leaders by vot-
ing, 173 to 40, against requiring
a year of training for all 18 and
19 year old draftees.
Senator Reynolds Immediately
this afternoon in an effort to COM
plete action on the bill and get it
to the White House this week.
The test came after only a few
minutes of debate on motion by
Representative Rankin. Democrat
Of Mississippi to instruct House
conferees on the new selective serv-
ice bill to accept the Senate amend
ment, making the year of training
mandatory. Youths under 20 already
are registered with their draft
boards, but are not subject to call
for military service until the pend
ing bill becomes law.
In this first action since the elec-
tions, the House gave a demonstra-
ton of the national unity that is
expected to prevail on war legiS-
lation-
Both Parties Oppose Move.
Nearly all the Republicans joined
the Democrats in opposing the one
year training requirement.
There was an apparent desire to
vote without debate, and after Mr..
Rankin had lost decisively. on
standing division. he failed to gain
enough supporters to force roll
call
The action left the House con-
ferees free TO work out any compro-
mise they could effect with the
Senate and bring it back to the
House for ratification, and indica-
tions were the conferees would
recommend elimination of the Sen
ate provision, which the President
and the War and Navy Departments
have opposed.
While the vote was not specifically
on acceptance Or rejection OF the
Senate amendment, it was tanta-
mount to that. Another record vote
was in prospect later in the week
if the conferees recommend that
the House stand pat on its original
decision not to consider such a
proposal.
The House passed the measure
early last month free from limita-
tions, but the Senate voted in the
l2-month training requirement over
the vigorous objection of top-rank-
ing military men.
Sources close to the administra-
ton reported the bill probably would
be vetoed by President Roosevelt if
it reaches his desk with the training
amendment.
Assailed As Half Measure.
Again voicing the opposition of
the military Undersecretary of War
Robert P Patterson declared in a
radio talk last night that if the
amendment is adopted the Army

stated.
Yesterday, according to dispatches
from London. Gen. Giraud's voice
was heard in a broadcast from
Algiers urging Frenchmen not to

A colorful figure, Gen. Giraud was
made a prisoner by the Germans
during the first World War and was
again captured and held at the
Koenigstein fortress in this war.
His escape created CONSERVATION in
Germany and a huge reward was
offered for information which would
lead to his capture. He returned to
France and his whereabouts in re-
cent weeks has been mystery.

Senator Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, of Michigan read in the
Senate today excerpts from a let
ter he received last December u
in which President Roosevelt
said he would be only too hap
by" to consult with bipartisan
congressional committee on the
conduct OF the war.
Speaking after Senator Maloney,
Democrat, of Connecticut had urged
early consideration by the Senate
Military Affairs Committee OF a
resolution to establish 12member,
bipartisan laison group, Senator
Vandenberg told his colleagues he
believed the President had made
it clear in the letter he would not
object to establishment of such
committee. but expressed doubt Con-
gress would want to set it up

come such action as partial answer
to some of it's anxieties about the

written the President on Decem-

President might be able to impart
much critical information that he
could not make public.

he was lin hearty accord with the
apparent object" of the suggestion
! adding that If Congress wishes to
; set up such group, he would be
only too happy to consult with 1t
and seek the advice of members
of the committee
The President pointed out, how
ever, that he held frequent consulta-
tions with bipartisan groups OF
legislators. He intimated further
that he doubted whether many
members would be satisfied to have
members of such committee with
hold from them information which
he had given to the group in conf
| dence
Senator Maloney told his COL
leagues he believed Congress was
not contributing all of its talents
and energy to the war program be-
cause it was being denied access
to some of the more important
phases.
In the meantime, indications de-
veloped that the proposal for a
