Reese Taylor Offers
To Resign as WPB
Iron and Steel Chief
OfficioI Says Nelson
Moy Not Allow $1-u-Yeu,
Man to Leove Agency

Reese H. Taylor, $1-a-year
head of the iron and steel branch
OF the War Production Board, to-
day submitted his resignation to
Chairman Donald M. Nelson.
An official close to Mr.. Nelson said
he did not know whether the pro-
duction chief would accept the
resignation. He added that Mr.
Taylor has offered to resign several
times in the past and Mr.. Nelson
has refused to let him 60.
The branch which Mr.. Taylor,
president of the Union Oil Co. OF
Los Angeles, heads has been
under considerable criticism in re-
cent weeks. Two weeks ago Fred
erick I. Libbey, $5,600-a-year engi-
neering consultant, was discharged
by Mr.. Nelson for publication be-
fore submission to WPB of a conf
dental report criticizing the iron
and steel branch.
Mr.. Libbey charged that the iron
and steel branch was filled with
statesmen and lacked competent
men. He said the organization
favored the larger companies. Mr..
Taylor himself, however, was not
criticized by Mr.. Libbey.
During his press conference last
Saturday Mr.. Nelson staunchly de-
Tended the iron and steel branch
He said it included the very best
men in the industry" Mr.. Nelson
asked Mr.. Taylor to sit with him
at the head OF the conference table
an indication Of confidence in the
branch executive.

another ship when his vessel sailed.
I'm June we picked up. survivors
from that ship in the AtNAntic near

When we were torpedoed Topsy

hope, but rowed around the wreck

saw Topsy floating on some coffee

Russian Situation Better,
London Commentator Says

LONDON, Aug. % tP).-The Red
Army's thrust into Rzhev and the
increased stubbornness of the Rus
sian defense of Stalingrad combine
to form considerably improved"
Russian military situation, a British

Gen. Gregory Zhukov was believed
to have formulated while Prime
Minister Churchill was IN Moscow.

Rzhev will be encircled from the

victory" for the Russians was not

Ito Chemical Workers
WHO Went on Strike
Unanimous Finding Holds
Union Violated Pledge
BY WoIkout in July
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board, declaring
that union of chemical workers
had violated labor's no-strike
pledge, refused yesterday to grant
1t any form of union security.
Labor members of the board joined
In making the decision unanimous.
A strike was called on July IS at
the plants of the Monsanto Chemi-
cal Co. and the New England Alco-
hol Co. at Everett, Mass, and was
terminated July 20 following certi-
flcation of the case to the board.
About 100 employees were affected.
The only issues in dispute were the
requests of the AFL Chemical
Workers Union for a union shop
and the checkoff.
Wayne L. Morse, public member
OF the board, wrote the WLB opin-
ion, which said:
THE peaceful procedures for
settling labor disputes referred to
by the President in the executive
order creating the National War
Labor Board rest upon good faith.
There Is no substitute for good faith
The War Labor Board cannot
afford in this case to set a prece-
dent whereby a union is granted
union maintenance protection by
the board in the very face of a
record which shows that the union
violated its no-strike pledge. Hence
the granting of union security to
this union must at least be post
poned until such time as this union
demonstrates that it has adopted
a change of attitude in regard to
the use of the strike weapon dur
ing the period of this war. ="
'The important point for all con-
cerned to remember is that when
labor agreed to forfeit its right tc
strike for the duration of the war
the Government provided 1t with
an orderly and impartial tribunal
to settle its disputes with industry
So long as the National War Labor
Board functions, there is neithe,
need nor justification for strikes
Certainly, 1t must be clear to every
one that the War Labor Board q,
an agency Of the Federal Govern
ment and acting under executive
order should not be swayed by
economic pressure brought to bea1
by either management or labor"

Representative Hartley, Re-
publican, of New Jersey, vice
chairman of a special House
committee investigating the
eastern seaboard's petroleum
and rubber problems, predicted
today that rationing of petro-

Representative Hartley commented
that he would favor extension OF
rationing only to those States where
tank cars were a factor in trans
portation of petroleum.
George w. Dof1ng, price executive
in the petroleum branch of the Office
of Price Administration, told the
committee that fuel oil ratiorling In

do for the name of the first Ford
B-24 bomber to roll off the pro-
duction line at Willow Run.
Charles E. Sorenson, vice presi-
cent and general manager of the

today in mocking tribute to the
severest critic of Mr.. Ford's avia-
ton efforts.

pooh-poohed the mammoth project

"and then the Government called us

Mass production" is a fighting
phrase among aircrafters.
