LAk-
The splendid example of Labor
unity, expressed in the successful
United Labor Victory Rally, should
be extended, and expanded
throughout the nation, and with
out a moments delay.
Anyone who has read the re-
cent speeches of Representative
Ham Fish (who's jailed assistant
was a Nazi agent), or of Repre-
sentative Cox, or Senator George,
can understand that the offensive
wal being waged against the Nazi
gangsters doesn't please the above
mentioned gentlemen too much
They, together with the ambitious
to-be Chairman of the Republican
party, n Frank Gannett, union
buster and ex-leader of the in
famous American Liberty League
dupont, Weir, Mellon, Girdler)
are "out to do a job on the New
Deal"
These men, more interested in
the offensive against labor and
socially progressive legislation,
hope to divert the time, effort and
attention of Congress and the
Administration, from the urgent
problems of offensive warfare
against Hitler. It is common know
ledge that if you scratch a labor
hating industrial leader, or poll
tician, you'll find a potential
Fascist. That is why the current
activity of Fish, Cox, Gannett and
others of their brand is a danger
signal to organized labor and to
everyone interested in winning
this war in the shortest possible
time by the total defeat of Hitler,
his Japanese and Italian gangmen.
A unified labor movement will
become one of the best and strong
est weapons in the offensive phase
of this war. Not only at home,
against our own Quislings, and
Laval's, but abroad as well, be-
cause it will give added inspira-
ton to our fighting forces. They
will know of this unity on the
production front. They will
recognize its protective influence
in the preservation of the very
things we're fighting this war
about freedom once and for
all from the Nazi and Fascist war
machines, improved opportunities
in a nation thus freed, and a
better standard of living for the
ill-fed, ill-clothed, and il-housed.
We in the UE-CIO, in addition
to filling the production bill, there
fore have another responsibility to
our fighting soldiers. It is to
guarantee that their fight is not
in vain, by the building of an
even stronger, and more active
Union, with every member in
t~eresting himself, and herself in
the affairs of that Union. While
they smash the Hitlers and Japs,
our soldiers count on you and
I to hold high the torch of our
democratic institutions, and thru
proper legislation to make their
future lives and happiness more
secure in every possible way.
Let us then pledge this week of
dedication to Pearl Harbor, to
strengthen our fundamentally for
human betterment, our own Union,
by bringing into this organization
every worker not yet a Union
member. They shall be the bricks
in our house of the future. A fu-
ture in which our chiIdren's Four

Army TO Move
More Aliens

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2
(UP).-Lieut. Gen. John L. De-
witt, chief of the western defense
command, indicated today that
the army could not respect the
wishes Of nine inland governors
who announce opposition to
their states becoming dumping
grounds" for alien evacuees.
Disclosing that the army soon
will designate additional strategic
areas which certain groups must
evacuate, Dewitt replied to critics
of the governments alien control
policy and asserted that military
necessity" must take precedence
over civilian wishes.
1t was believed the new orders
might affect 100000 enemy aliens
on the west coast and their
American born children. A presi-
dental proclamation recently au-
thoriZed the army TO establish
defense zones from which both
aliens and citizens could be barred.
Dewitt said strategic conSidera-
tons must dictate what persons
and what areas will be affected.
The governors represented Ari-
IONA, wyoming, Idaho, New
Mexico, South Dakota, Oklahoma,
Nevada, Montana and Arkansas.

CHARGE OF SCOTS

In dispatch from combined
operations ship yesterday. said
that the British parachute raid on
the Bruneval radio locator Satur-
day was marked by a daring
charge Of Scots OF the Seaforth
Highlands into machine-gun fire.
A Seaforth sergeant, yelling the
regimental motto "Cabar Fiedh"
("the antlers Of the deer"D led
the charge which quickly cleared
the Germans who had been hold
ing the beach from a fortified
point. and permitted the parachut-
lists who destroyed the locator TO
reach their embarkation point.
Within 10 minutes all the Ger
mans in the fort had been killed
or captured or had fled into nearby
woods.
Mai. J. D. Frost. who COM
manded the parachutists in the
raid. told how his men sang on
their way across the channel to
their objective.
1T was by no means rs fright
ening as everybody had ex-
pected,' he said. "You sat at n
hole and looked down and saw
a few tracer bullets go past
below. Then you Jumped"
The planes dropped the para
chutists within 10 yards Of their
mapped landing places, except as
regards one section.
"Within two minutes after
they left their planes the troops
were organized and ready to
fight," he said.
A 21-year-old officer, called
Junior. who led the section which
dropped of the mark found his
way without landmarks and got
his men back safe.
REPORTER LED PARTY
A young lieutenant, formerly
a London newspaper reporter,
led the party assigned TO the,
radio location post.
Eve had almost reached the
objective before we were chal-
Ienged," he said. Then q Ger
man sentry challenged twice
and fired. He was killed. The

hunted down. Most of them
were killed. Some escaped. A
few were captured"
Engineers destroyed the post.
Then they searched the nearby
beach for land mines and laid anti

ISLANDS DEFENSES

The islands defenSeS, I wa
told, are based on the following
points, in case Of invasion:
Use Of the navy TO repel an
l. invasion fleet far from
shore with help from long range
bombers.
Use of shorter range bOmberS
O-Use OF short or range
- bombers. and then coast
artillery, TO prevent an invasion
fleet from reaching landing
position if it breaks through the
navy'S first line.
O-Use Of field artillery and
- finally infantry positions on
the shore to break up landing
attempts.
h-Use of fighter planes to pro-
II tect the bombers and to
prevent enemy bomberS from
attacking shore based artillery,
infantry and other installations
The other islands Of the Ha-
vaiian group-Hawaii, Maui, Mol
'kai. Lanai and Kauai-are not so
trongly garrisoned as are the
main defenSes concentrated here
N Oahu. However, it was pointed
,ut, Hawaii must have sufficient
Iir power TO prevent the JapS
rom taking over any OF the out
ide islands for use as a base from
which to attack Oahu.

Thus, Hawaii must prepare
against the possibility Of the

where the japanese might make
a determined attempt 10 move in

rely on its mid-Pacific position as
