Three thousand auto workers
engaged in vital war production,
made idle by the actions OF $50 OF
their members, returned 10 work
today while. an involved juris-
dictional dispute in another plant
kept 200 war workers idle.
The 1900 men returned to work

UAW-CIO officials informed the
$50 workers that their actions In

OF 20 Negroes would result in their

threatened TO throw the Negroes

SENIORITY RIGHTS
A Chrysler Corporation spokes-
man said that the Negroes had
been formerly employed at the
Dodge plant but had been laid Of
when auto production ceased. They
had seniority rights with the COM
pany and were called back TO
work at Dodge Truck when en-
ployment was available in line
with their seniority, he said.
The spokesman added:
"The transfer was In accord
ance with our agreement with
the UAw-CIO interna ional
union and had been discussed as
late as this morning. The local
union, however, did not see nc

the Axis advance base
of Segnali in 30-mile dash across
the Lihyan desert against the
flank of enemy forces believed to
be massing for . new strong drive
toward Tobruk. it was announced
today.
Col. Gen. Edwin Rommel. de-
feated with heavy losses in his
attempt to encircle, Tobruk. was
acknowledged to have succeeded

I~bridgehead.. or breach in the
British minefeid defenses about

reported bringing up armored re-
serves for a new assault aimed d.

Lieut.. Gen. Neil M. Ritchie's
imperial eighth army. anticipating
Rommels tactics, struck suddenly
westward across the desert from
the vicinity of Biz Hacheim on the
British left flank to Segnsli which
is about IS miles behind and south
of Rommels desert bridgehead.
Lying along the important
desert trail from Mekili and Biz
Tengeder to Capuzzo at the
Egyptian border, Segnali Is only
So miles from the Axis Mekili
base on which Rommel will draw
for reserves and supplies for any
new drive.
IMPORTANT GAIN
A military informant said that
the capture Of Segnali was Eek
tremely important" particularly
If Richie can drive UP from the
south, knock Rommel out of the
bridgehead positions and force the
Italo-G German forces to withdraw
farther westward.
II was conceded, however. that
Rommel, If hard pressed, might be
able to withdraw over the desert
wastes and avoid the roads at
night time, thereby slipping
through the Segnali forces.
Imperial forces yesterday threw
back another Axis attack in the
Biz Hacheim area, the Cairo
communique said.

ATLANTIC:
Toll Growing

Though our navy, cooperating
with the British, was keeping supply
lines between Britain and the United
States open, coastwise shipping had
continued to yield a terrific toll.
The loss Of American flag ships
alone had passed the half-hundred
mark, and the lives taken were as
Stunning important figures. Shipping
insurance rates were liked again.
There was no disposition to admit
Hitler's claims that Isl ships Of a
total of ], O29, 900 tons had been sunk
IN the first two months Of the war IN
the Atlantic alone, but the total was
large and was constantly mount
ing.
The loss Of so American ships In
two months was an average Of about
q ship d day, and with one shipyard
in the East launching two large yes
sells weekly, this was not necessarily
d fatal loss. but other countries
losses were not being reproduced as
successfully as our own.
Despite the losses Of u. S. ships,
1t was pointed out that If the present
rate was not increased, or even
lessened, It would not be long be-
fore our merchant marine was tre-
mendously greater. But If Hitler's
figure Of half million tons a month
were true, then the picture was
less rosy, at least until we reach
our goal Of 5000, 900 tons year.

San Franciscans aren't discussing
air attacks, nor worrying about
them any more than to be prepared
in every way for any and all I'M
pleasantness. Life goes on in the
nations most cheerful city, in the
usual way.
Life Is Unchanged.
I'm giving this in some detail be-
cause good friends Of mine in the
East and in the Central states are
convinced that we are living here in
one Utter Of terror, clinging togeth-
er in dark cellars at night, shudder-
ing through frightening days as we
watch the menace Of the skies. Moth
ing could be further from the truth.
MAY God help you through these
hours Of horror" writes an old
friend of mine from Detroit. IF
you could come to us with one or
two of the precious grandchildren
we would do our best to obliterate
from your heart memories that
must be frightful. Persistent and
incessant fear is destroying thing,
and God knows we would relieve you
all of some Of it if we could"
Well, one can't exactly laugh at
sympathy as sincere and distressed
as that, but it is impossible to keep
from laughter when such letter is
read at the weekend gathering Of
the clan. Pearl Harbor naturally
smote us all with CONSERVATION, and
for few days there was some furry
of apprehension; again it was like
the earthquake, Immediately after
which people did rush about franti-

But within few days-almost a
few hours-everyone settled down to
help, to serve, to philosophize and
yes, to enjoy the crisis.
God forbid that anything should
be termed enjoyable" in war. War
is all bad. But we are fighting for
what is good, good for everyone,
and il neighborliness, sharing, serv-
ice, courage are born Of it, let US
not minimize their eternal values,
values that will long outlast the war.
My hope is that Il states in our
own country can have 50 exaggerat-
ed an impression Of things out here,
some Of the other atrocities reported
Of life everywhere, in England, Rus
STA, China, in the oppressed and
conquered countries, are less in ac-
tuality than we fear. We hear fright
full details, and alasl some Of them
are true. But remember, when you
feel your heart heavy, as you think Of
it all, that many of them are not
true.
So take for your motto the familiar
prayer, ''sursum corda." which
means, Gift up your hearts" The

OFFENSIVE:
British Bomb
Vital Maxi Centers

Britain, more or less held back
from bombings over Europe during
the winter season of bad weather
and worse visibility, had started an
about and continuous bombing of
German towns and industrial CEN
tiers, also Of vital ports in northwest
Germany.
From various sources close to
London came word that this was
definite part of the British "spring
offensive" and that the attacks
would become more powerful and
continuous as the weather improved.
Extremely large forces Of British
bombers were being used, it had
been reported, especially the Hall
faxes, Strings and Lancasters, the
latter a new and highly regarded
bomber.
Not SO much mention was being
made of the use of American fort
ress bombers," and apparently Eng
land had her own plane production
in better shape now, or perhaps
since our entry into the war was not
getting so many flying fortresses.
At all events the British airmen
were getting in tremendous ticks by
day as well jas by night, and the
Germans, beginning to feel the pinch
Of heavy bombings with little or no
return on their part, had begun to
send fighter squadrons over the
channel to attempt to break it all
up.
The first day these had appeared
the British said eight Messer-
schmitts had been shot down. None
of our planes were lost" The
Germans broadcast Eight British
fighters were shot down over the
channel-no German planes lost"
1t was considered odd, however,
that the German radio which turned
fighter losses upside down rarely
claimed as many bombers shot
down as the British were willing to
admit having lost.
Some believed the Nazis were try
ing to minimize the number Of
bombers Britain was using in the
raids by this means.

The appointment Of Gen. Doug

mander OF all United Nations
forces in Australia gave truth to
the many rumors which had
cropped up in the past month.
Macarthur transferred his head
quarters from the Philippines to
Australia upon orders from Presi-

his new post at the request Of the
Australian government. His pro-
motion had long been expected as
the result of his courageous stand

OF q piece with this, he said, was

ROUNDUP:
Official weather springtime starts
In late March, but wartime spring
was to start, according to roundup
Of APP correspondents in leading war
centers when the ground dries up
in Russia" or in mid-April or early
May.
What that time would bring was
q puzzle to most military-minded
correspondents, but they agreed it
would be offensive time" and
would bring battles on such scale
as to make the present wartime re-
ports seem like child's play.
Most unaninity centered about
one probability, that the Japs and
Germans would try a concentrated
offensive in harmony with each 9TH
er. Some were inclined to think that
the Japs, after gaining control of
northeastern Australia and estab-
fishing q front there would turn
their main attack through lightly de-
Tended India and attempt to join
the Germans at the Persian gulf.
Others thought this plan too am
bilious and saw the Japs stopping
with Bengal and China cut of from
Allied aid. and then turning into
Siberia.

phasis on the bowl your way to
