benes Sees Peace Bid
By hazis if Success
Is NOT Won by Oct. IS
Czechs' ExiIed President
Wants Allies to Open
Second Front in 1912
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 25.-President
Eduard Benes of Czechoslova-
kia's exiled government, urging
a second front in Europe in 1912
declared today that the Germans
will offer peace to Britain, the
United States and Russia by
October Is If they do not score
a decisive military success by
that time.
Foolish unacceptable terms" al
ready are being prepared, he said in
a talk to Czech soldiers.
Mr.. Benes spoke as 10 London
munitions workers, who said they
represented 1000 colleagues, took a
petition to No. 10 Downing Street
the residence of the Prime Minister
asking for a western front in Europe
Sees Russians Holding Out.
Mr.. Benes predicted that Hitler,
peace offer would not be accepted
and If the Russians hold out-"and
think they will"-Germany would
be exhausted by spring.
"How long the war will last de-
pends upon whether there is a sec
ond front In Europe this year." he
continued. Il myself desire there
should be one and am making en-
deavors to obtain this solution OF
the question. There is a certain
risk connected with it but the risk
next year will be even greater. =
IT a second front can be estab-
lished within the next three months
to divert certain proportion of the
German forces from the eastern
front it is probable that things will
develop quickly and we might be
home within a year"
Leaflets Distributed.
The Communist Party of Britain
is spreading tons Of leaflets, chalk
ing walls and holding numerous rail-
lies demanding "a second front
now" .s
"The campaign will continue until
we get it," said Harry Pollitt, secre-
tary to the British section of the
Communist International as he pre-
pared for a demonstration tomorrow
in Trafalgar Square.
THE slogan of second front was
born at the moment Hitler invaded
Russia" Mr.. Pollitt said. The only
place Hitler can be defeated is on
the continent by joint action Of
America, Britain and Russia"
Union Head Favors Drive.
The chorus advocating an imme-
diate Allied offensive against Ger
man-occupied Europe was swelled
also by Jack Tanner, president
of the Amalgamated Engineering
Union, estimated to have a mem
bership of 100000 factory workers.
Speaking at Blackpool, Mr.. Tan
ner told the International Metal
Workers Federation that it was
difficult to be patient.
Our future hangs upon the out
come of this years action or in
action in the east" he said. ..

Conference Seekinq
To Avert Milk Strike
Is Opened Here
Federal ConciIiutors
Meeting With Drivers
And Doiy OffieioIs

In an effort to avert the milk
strike scheduled for Tuesday
morning a conference OF milk
drivers, milk company represent
atives and officials of the United
States Cancellation Service got
under way at the Labor Depart
ment shortly before noon.
I'VE are still hopeful for a set
tlement," said spokesman for the
Milk Drivers and Dairy Workers
Union (AFL).
Unless a settlement can be
reached, he explained, the union
is prepared to strike and to stop
deliveries to virtually all homes
and business houses, exempting only
hospitals and military establish
mentS.
Steelman to Take Part.
Cancellation Director John r.
Steelman planned to take personal
part in the attempt to avert a
strike. Efforts had been made sew
eral days as representatives of the
Cancellation Service had met first
with the drivers and then with the
management over new contract.
The union drivers voted 687 to 300
on July II to delay the strike 10
days, instead of walking out that
night.
Just before going into conference
DR.. Steelman said he would make
every effort to reach settlement,
despite the fact that at that time
prospects were mot too bright"
Time is getting short" he ex-
planned" and we shall do the best
We can. This is the first Joint
meeting Of both labor and manage,
ment for some time. We have been
talking to them separately for sew
eral days, but by getting them to-
gether today we hope to reach a
basis for negotiations.
The drivers are asking for an in
crease in wages. Companies have
offered some increases, but not
enough to satisfy the demands of
the drivers.
Nearly All Diaries Involved.
Virtually all dairies in Washington
are involved in the negotiations and
would be affected by the strike. The
Highland Farms Dairy already is be-
Ing picketed by the union.
When the strike was threatened
the International Teamsters' Union
threatened to revoke the locals
charter If members walked out at
that time.
The union Is asking a wage in
crease of SO a week for drivers and
a reduction in hours from 81 to 4S
a week. Minimum pay under the
expired contract was SAL for regular
drivers, $28 for special delivery
drivers and $3.50 for plant workers. |

u. S.-Made Bombers Help Pound
Nazis After Wedges Are Driven
Into FORTS Guarding Vital Rostov
Germans Reach
Middle Don in
Costly Drive
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. July 25.-Unitee
States bombers took part in the
desperate Russian defense of the
Caucasus today as the Germans
drove dangerous wedges into the
forts guarding Rostov and struck
ever nearer vital Stalingrad in
an offensive that reached the
Middle Don.
A United States source whose
name may not be divulged said the
swift twin-engined Douglas bombers
were flying wing to wing with the
Russian planes in fierce pounding
at German tanks. motorized columns
and men who were seeking to en-
gulf the southern Don steppes.
Presumably the planes were
flown by the Russians, although
this dispatch did not specifically
say soD
The point on the Middle Don
which the German vanguards
reached was not specified in battle
dispatches. At one sector, nearest
Stalingrad, the great elbows of the
Don and Volga form 45-mile bot
tleneck.
Break Through One Sector.
Dispatches said the Germans had
broken through one sector of the
front in the region of Rostov, great
oil port on the Don delta just off
the Sea of Azov.
The Germans established haZ-
ardous bridgehead across the Lower
Don near Tsimlyansk. 120 miles up
the river from Rostov.
The army newspaper Red Star
said vast air battles we're being
fought over wide areas of the tree
aess Don steppes. The dispatch said
the Germans were availing them
selves of the fiat terrain to establish
airdromes swiftly near the front
lines.
Fighters principally were based
at the front, but the swiftly-built
airdromes also were used by trans
port planes bringing up fuel and
ammunition. A Soviet raid on one
of these fields was said to have de-
stroyed % Of the huge Junkers-52
transports.
without comment, Red Star clar-
loned Lenin's words to the Russian
Army:
Fight to the last drop of blood,
comrades. Keep on for every inch
of land. Be firm until the end"
"Only skilled operations, courage
and self h-sacrifice by our troops will
save Rostov from the Fascist in
yasion," Red Star said.
Dispatches indicated the Tsimly-
ansk combat left the Don flowing
red with the blood of the fallen.
One Thrust Frustrated.
One German thrust across the
river, natural defense line before
the lower Caucasus, was frustrated
and the infantry regiment in the
van was wiped out, a communiQue
announced at midnight.
Later advices, however said that
In second big push. supported by
heavy forces, small units reached
the south shore and dug in. These
were declared being dealt with" Z"
but the situation created an omi-
nous parallel to the original German
crossing of the upper Don at Voro-
nezh.
Counterattacks were declared to
have bettered the Red Army position
in some sectors before Rostov and
the city's approaches were reported
dotted with thousands of German
dead, but the numerically superior
invaders occupied several new posi-

WHEAT CROP
STORAGE SPACE

the new wheat crop be large this
year, but wheat will also have to
compete with large supplies OF
corn, rye, barley, oats, flaseed. soy
beans, grain sorghums and dry
beans. Another factor which en-
tiers into this grain storage problem
is the storage of sacks which may
make it necessary to provide bulk
storage for much of the grain that
ordinarily is stored in bags. The
1912 wheat crop is expected to to-
tai about 100 million bushels, and
operators of warehouses and term
inal elevators reported that on
February 16 they had only 40 mil
lion bushels of unoccupied storage
space, all of which makes /. very
essential that farmers plan to store
their 1912 surplus wheat this year
on their farms on which govern
ment loans may be obtained under
approved storage conditions.

Sincerely yours,
P. F. c. Ray E. Smith.

The above letter, received from
Ray Smith, clearly expresses the
silent, or outspoken, opinion of
thousands of men and women who
are now serving their country, in
the armed forces of the United
States. All over the world there
are many Ray Smiths. 1t is defin-
itely human, most healthy and
natural desire, for any person now
in the service, to want to receive,
at regular intervals, interesting
news regarding loved ones and
friends at home. And, since the
men and women in the Service are
the ones who are actively fighting
our battle for World Freedom,
those of us who have remained at
home should do "our bit" by back
ing them up, and giving them the
things they want; as nearly as it is
possible to do so.
1t is therefore, with a great feel
ing of pleasure and humble pride,
that the David c. Harrison Post,
No. IA, American Legion, and the
Unit of the American Legion Aux
iliary, dedicates this column to
ALL MEN AND WOMEN IN THE
SERVICE OF THE UNITED
STATES. It is to be hoped that
those of you who are temporarily
away from us, will send on news to
print in this column. We want to
hear from each and every one of
you, if only few short lines. To
all of us, who live in the Smyrna
area, never forget, you will always
be Our Boys and Our Girls. We are
indeed very proud of you. How
proud, perhaps you will never
know. Anyway, our best wishes,
and best thoughts, will always be
with you.
The David c. Harrison Post, No.
IA, American Legion, and Unit of
the American Legion Auxiliary
wishes to express their sincere
gratitude to the management of
The Smyrna Times for having
made available the news space,
which makes this column possible.
Since we have many names and
addresses of men in the Service,
which we think will be of interest
to the readers, the balance of this
column will be devoted to publish
ing as long list as possible.

MILLER CLAIMS
TEACHER CRISIS
Schools Facing Same Situa-
ton AS in 1918; No Re-
tirement Security
SHORTAGE is REAL

After more than twenty-four
years, the teacher situation in Del
aware is almost the same as that
of 1918 according to a statement
today by George R. Miller, Jr.,
President of the Delaware State
Education Association. Qualified
teachers in many areas of school
work are becoming scarce and the
present situation portends a
gloomy picture indeed for the
schools of Delaware and the Ma
tion. Teachers salaries have been
generally static-in fact the teach
ers have in reality suffered salary
cuts ranging from II per cent to
Is per cent by reason of the rapid
ly increased cost of living. Quail
flied teachers cannot be attracted
in sufficiently large numbers to fill
the demands. The schools of Della
ware will soon be faced with the
necessity of accepting teachers who
have been out of the teaching field
for number of years-others, I'm
qualified and, in normal times, I'M
acceptable to the profession, will
be received like the "prodigal son"
by desperate administrators.
Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1942-05-28
Teacher Shortage Real

Better salaries to compete with
the attractive offers in industry
and other professions and retire
ment system are the answers to
this critical situation. The teacher
shortage is real and not imaginary,
and everyone knows the primary
cause of this shortage. Delaware
school employees are not well paid.
Besides no state retirement law
provides any security although the
teacher may have devoted the best
years of his life in the service of
boys and girls. If teachers were
assured better living wage and a
little security after a reasonable
retirement age, they would not be
driven to leave their chosen profess
sion during every infiationary per-
lOd

Leave For Other Work

Teachers must maintain them
selves in ways acceptable to their
communities and when this cannot
be done, teachers have no other
course but to quit teaching for
some other work, or go into a
neighboring state or community to
work for better salaries. We do
not need a national poll of opinion
to learn that the public believes the
whole safety of American democ-
racy depends upon the public
school. We must, therefore, real
ize that, if our public schools fail,
democracy fails also. This matter
is of utmost Importance not only to
teachers, but to all who are con-
cerned with the stability and well
fare of the children of our State"
