The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-04-06

An undlgclosed item on the agenda is the question of the JAW declaring open war on John L. Lewis and einbarking on a campaign to drive his cohorts out of Michigan.
 In recent months Lewis ele- ments have been very active in the state. Hand-picked heneh men have been conducting an ore ganizing drive among dairy far- mers, signing them up as mem. bers of the United Mine Workers. Other henchmen have been active among utility, transportation and construction workers. Still oth- CTS have been busy under cover within the JAW itself.
 It was these last operations that decided JAW chiefs to call for a bare-k -knuchle showdown with the miner czar.
 Privately they have been sore at him for . long time. But until he started meddling in the affairs of their union, they kept their grievances to themselves. Now, however, they are deter mined to have 1t out with him, and the executive board will be asked to approve such action.
 If the board does give the green light, the stage will be set for momentous labor history.
 It will mean that Lewis faces n head-on battle with another CIO union as big as his own. It also will mean that the other C1O

leaders and unions will have to take sides and declare themselves for or against Lewis.
 cTo insiders say there can be only one outcome of such a bat- tie. Either Lewis will quit the C1o or be expelled from 1t,
 The betting Is that he will walk out. There already arc slgnlflcant signs that he ls sec cretly planning this. He hasn't paid the JAWS per capita tax for three months, and there have been c number of attempt cd raids on other CIO unions.
 NOTE: At a private meeting of JAW leaders several weeks ago JAW president R. J. Thomas charged that Lewis was secretly supporting restrictive labor bills in Congress.

 A COMMUNIST FRONT
 Last month the House voted overwhelmingly to continue the Dies committee for another year. But the Texan still has to run the gantlet of the Appropriations committee before he gets any money to continue his hotly con- troyersial operations.
 Dies Is no hero tO leaders of this potent committee. Further, his Communism -nudism blast, without the knowledge of au- thorlzatlOn of other members of his committee, at officials of Vlce-PreslGent WaIlace's EcO- homie Warfare Board, has not made these committee leaders feel any kindlier toward Dies.
 It Is charged that one of Dies chief Investigators, c former fei- low traveller, still has close ties with his one.time Kominy pals and thaf they supply him with lists of alleged Communists, who are actually bitter foes, in order to smear them as Reds.
 This is an old KOmlny strata- gem. They used lt to set rec venge on David Laser, head of the Workers Alliance. Lasser fought the KOmmlog within the organization tooth and nail and finally, when he couldn't drive them out, resigned and started q new outfit that smashed the Alliance.
 The Reds have never forgiven him for this and last year they secretly accused him in certain Influential congressional quarters of being q Communist. Ae . re sult ile was fired from ( govern mont job.

Auto 'GrGUeyGrdS'
Will Yield Scrap

The war production board has set
out to comb the country's automobile
graveyards for iron and steel scrap,
prepared to seize the vital metals in
cases where the owners win not sell
It voluntarily.
The boards bureau Of industrial
conservation said it expected to move
between 100000 and 5000, 600 old cars
from the yards during a six-month
campaign which probably would yield
as much as $1,000 900 to 3,750,OO0 tons
of scrap.
First, the country will be surveyed
for automobile graveyards. Then the
owners will be asked to cut up the
cars and sell the scrap to dealers. If
they object, the board added, a requi-
sition order will be issued within "a
hours, the government viii take over
the yard. call for bids on all cars
In the yard, and then award contracts
TO highest bidders. The price to be
paid the owner will be determined by
the contract.
disable parts would be removed from
the automobiles for later sale and cars
that could be repaired and sold for
use would not be strapped.

4 once and, in their sublime Ignorance
and hot defiance, they thought they
could continue to do so.
So they brewed their war medicine
without Red Clouds aid and brought
together that host of fighting, men
in the valley of the Little Big Horn
that was to overwhelm Custer-and
Red Cloud was among the missing.
In this connection 1t may well be
that Groshell was the victim Of a
reporters error. 1t is easily within the
realm Of probability that Groshell did
not say Gall had assistance from Red
Cloud He may have said Crazy Horse
instead and been misquoted, or. by a
slip of the tongue, said Red Cloud and
meant Crazy Horse.
For Crazy Horse was at the Little
Big Horn scrap and certainly gave Gall
able assistance. He had also been down
on the Rosebud few days previously
and handed General Crooks Third
cavalry-on its way up from Fort Fet-
terman to help put the pressure on
the red men-a neat trouncing and
knocked Crooks forces clear out of
the campaign.
Crazy Horse was credited by many
with being greater cavalry leader
than Custer, Sheridan or Stuart, and
failure to mention him in Clusters
would be like failing to put
in chicken soup.
How About Sitting Bull?
We now approach Groshell's main
Sitting Bull "just sat"
while the Custer battle was in prog
-ess. In this he may be right, although
here are some who dispute it. Stanley
VeStal, in his biography of this foxy
I'D Sioux chief, asserts that Sitting
Bull was very much there and doing
lis bit in the fighting. He claims, GER
ainly with some justification, that the
Indians had no organized leadership
hat day-that it was wild and woolly !
ree-for-all in which Sioux and Chey- |
.nne simply killed as many whites as
possible Sitting Bulls actual partici-
,ation in the battle, though, the reader
an TELL is something of hot potato |
or an author seemingly over-anxious
o make out a case for his hero.
Majority opinion seems to be that

Lctual fighting. Some claim, indeed,
hat the canny old chief was off in
ONE secluded spot making medicine.
Be that as it may, certainly there
Tould have been no Custer massacre
Without Sitting Bull. His was the lead
lg part in assembling the huge In
ian force for this one grand swing
the whites. 1t was he who realized
1ore than any of his followers that
MON of force was the Sioux's only
ope. He cannot be laughed off as a
lere cantankerous and cowardly medi-
Inc man.

OF EXPEDITION
WORK OF ONLY ONE MAN; NO GAP
CONTAINED IN ACCOUNT OF
LEWIS AND CLARK TRIP

Every detail concerning the expedi-
ton Of Lewis and Clark should be of
peculiar interest to Montanans, be-
cause of its first giving to the world
knowledge Of this region, then the un-
disputed home of many warlike tribes,
whose principal means Of livelihood
was derived from the vast herds of
buffalo that roamed over the plains.
In recognition of its historic value,
several editions of Lewis and Clark's
journal have been published, and
there have also been other journals.

expedition given to the public, that
supplement, or verify the official re-
port. Among these is that of Gass,
an iIliterate man, and as lacking in
good looks as he was in culture. But,
though lacking in education and un-
attractive in appearance, he made,
through his journal, an enduring name
for himself
Lapse of 100 Years
Among others who kept a record Of
the expedition was Serg. John Ordway.
This man seems to have been held in
high esteem by his commanders, and
was by them assigned to fill many
responsible positions. Selected to keep
the orderly book of his detachment,
his journal would likely be almost
official In character. An unsuccessful
search was made for it, and over 100
wears elapsed before it was discovered.
How this came about, and when, Is q
story worth preservation
It was believed that Ordway kept
a journal, and this belief was con-
slrrned by a letter from AErs. Martha

where he began to scratch his head
With his feet after which operation
he sat down at the foot Of the tree
and gave McNeal an anxious after
noon"
At one time some men were detailed
under Ordway to remove baggage from
hin not far from the present CITY
Of Great Falls, to the upper camp
across from White Bear island. It was
an extremely warm day, and in order
to be more comfortable, the men took
off their clothes. A sudden storm came
on which rained hailstones on their
naked bodies. They ran for camp and
their clothing, but before they could
reach it, one man was knocked down
three times, and most were bruised
and bleeding. One of these hailstones
was said to measure seven inches in
circumference. That this was undoubt-
edly no exaggeration, first residents Of
Great Falls can testify, having seen
hailstones as large or larger, fall there.
These excerpts from the Ordway
journal are given to awaken the in
terest of the public in this old his
torical document. Much of it is a repe-
tition of that of Lewis and Clark, but
its main value lies in the fact that
there is no gap in the story, and that
it was written by one man.

10 Killed
i'm Crash
Of Bomber

SODA SPRINGS. Idaho, Dec.
5 R - Ten men were killed
in the crash of an Army bomber
in a southeastern Idaho noun
tain canyon, the Army air base
at Pocatello reported last night.
Army officials said there were
no survivors, but declined i'm
mediately to make public the
names of those aboard.
Forest Ranger j. B. Bruce of
Montpelier, Idaho, and William
F. Gagon of Soda Springs found
the plane in Wilson Canyon, Is
miles east of Soda Springs.
Mrs. Orrin Munro, Ranchwife
living about five miles north
east of Wilson canyon, said she
saw a plane ION fire in the sky"
Wednesday night. She noticed
the craft while she was standing
on the porch of her home.
When the plane struck the
ground there was a brilliant
flare and the sound of an explo-
sion, she said. She still could
see smoke rising from the
ground Thursday morning.
She notified authorities and
searching parties hunted the
area all day yesterday without
finding the wreckage.
