Uniting For Victory

The outcome of the labor-industry
conference is bad omen for Hitler and
his bloodthirsty gang, but for everyone
believing in democracy it is a sign of the
ever growing unity of the American
people now girded for the all out fight
to defeat Hitler and Hitlerism.
The labor-ndustry conference set UP
machinery to adjust any labor disputes
that may arise during the wartime per-
iod. The conference agreed to stop
strikes and lockouts. provided for con-
ciliation, mediation and arbitration of
all industrial disputes, and set up War
Labor Board composed of industry, la
Dor and government representatives.
Originally proposed by the CLIO, the
conference approached the problem of
settling labor disputes from a volun-
tary standpoint instead of the position
of repressive labor legislation advanced
by labor batting, tory congressman. AS
result, it is hoped the repressive leg
islation will be scrapped.
All of labor can now concentrate on
the important tasks of increasing pro-
duction of vital war materials, instead
of fighting anti-labor laws.

A shocking scandal, reported in

major shake-up of present defense

become informed of it.
The story, gathered by Federated
Press, reveals that the war effort has
been hampered, if not sabotaged by Will

Motors. Knudsen so the story reveals.

ious years Their main objective is the
objective of all Americans and of all
anti-fasclsts in the world Victory over

weapons which the workers will use in
the coming struggle
And on a national scale the whole
Go is dedicated TO the battle for life
against the fascists. Increased pro-

the aid the Go is rendering the Amer

The constructive aims and objectives

 London military commentators. meanwhile. said that Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's reinforced Nazi desert army has started "an offen- give for some sort" but added that it is too early to judge the size of it.
 There is a chance. however, that this is the opening thrust of a Nazi pincer move toward the eastern Mediterranean and it is being watched closely.
 The first indication of the Axis push was contained in the usual communique from British head quarters which said columns "in- cluding tanks of some strength" ad- yanced eastward yesterday.

The W ashlngton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON- and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON = Hollywood is trying to hush it up, but two oi the biggest moguls of the movie world recently staged battle over Henry Ford. And it wasn't a screen fight either.
 The two battlers were: In one corner, Louis B. Mayer, czar of Metro Goldwyn- Mayer, former Re- publican National Committeeman, and close friend of Herbert Hoover; in the other corner, Harry Warner, energetic spark-plug of Warner Brothers and an ardent admirer Of President Roosevelt.
 The argument occurred at a meeting of top movie moguls called to discuss future production sched- ules.
 Louis Mayer revealed plans 10 picturize the life of Henry Ford. Discussion uncovered the fact that the picture was to be glamorous portrayal of the motor magnates career with no reference to various activities which fers many years have been the subject of widespread denunciatiOn.
 Tn other words, you are gong to put out whitewash," Warner remarked, according to friends.
 Henry Ford repres sents the wheels of civilization" retorted Mayer.
 And you have got yourself caught under those wheels!' shouted War ner.
 Whereupon Mayer called Warner a fighting name. Warner retail ated with swing to the jaw. Then they were separated.
