President Seeks
Official Name
For the War

President Roosevelt called for vol
unteers today to suggest an appro-
priatey short name for the present
war.
Expressing his dislike Of the term
Second World War, the Chief Ex-
ecutive told his press conference the
Government would like short, off,
cial name which will connote the
fact that this Is struggle for pres
ervation of the smaller nations and
OF the democracies of the world.
He grimaced when a reporter said
it might be called the Hundred
Years War, remarking that the
sponsor must be in a pessimistic
mood.
As 1t was recalled that few wars
have been permanently designated
during their actual existence, he re-
minded the conference that Amer
ica's own internal war has been va
riously called the War of Rebellion,
the Civil War and the War Between
the States. The first name was used
in the Northern States while the
war was going on, but was discarded
soon after.
Another reporter suggested that
the enemies in this war be referred
to as the Clips, explaining that the
letters could stands for Germans,
Italians and Japs.

La Toilette Offers Bill
To Assure Labor lis
Rights During War
Measure Fixes Criminal
Penalties for List Of II
Oppressive Practices
By BLAIR BOLLES.

With the avowed purpose of
furthering the production side of
the war effort by assuring labor
its rights will be safeguarded
during the war, Senator La Fol-
lette, Progressive, of Wisconsin
today introduced a bill fixing
criminal penalties for "oppres-
sive labor practices" which he
said he has found industrialists
use in interfering with workers
right to bargain collectively.
Plunging into the controversy over
whether the 40-hour week law should
be relaxed, Senator LaFollette is
sued statement saying 1t is neces-
sary now to reassure the men who
labor that the Nation is not going
to yield to that clamorous minority
which in the Congress and out. for
the past six years, has been seeking
to subvert, eliminate or substantially
weaken the Federal guarantees of
collective bargaining"
He added that labor leaders fear
that the war will be seized on as
an opportunity to take away from
workers their statutory rights-a
fear which lis damaging to our uni
fed effort in such times of national
peril"
The Senator found repeated
examples of the Oppressive prac-
tees" during his six years of in
vestigation of labor relations, which
are underlined in report issued to-
day by the LaFollette subcommittee
of the Senate Education and Labor
Committee dealing with the Califor-
mia labor situation. The committee
sponsored the bill.
Acts Would Be OutIawed.
The II oppressive acts that would
be outlawed by the bill are:
Use of labor spies by employers;
use of strikebreaking services in in
dustrial disputes; use of private in
dustrial police las an instrument
OF opposition to collective bargain
ing; use of industrial munitions
in labor disputes; anti-union vigi-
lantism; blacklisting; employer
agreements to refrain from collec-
tive bargaining; yellow dog con-
tract practices; employer coercion
of employers or employees to pre-
vent them from practicing collec-
tive bargaining; conspiracy to COM
NIT any of the oppressive acts;
failure of an employers associa-
ton to supply certain types of in
formation to the National Labor Re
lations Board.
The bill would make it a crime.
with penalties ranging to fine Of
$4,000 or six months imprison-
ment ito engage in a prescribed
labor practice" The bill, taking a
cue from the Wage-Hour Act, would
make it criminal for the employer
who engages in oppressive labor
practices to ship his goods in inter-
state commerce.
Senator La Toilette recalled that
the Senate passed similar bill in
1910 by q 2-to-1 majority, but con-
gressional concern with neutrality

Indies UntouchobIes' Add
Opposition to Offer

LONDON, April 8 (P)-Leaders OF
India's $4,000, 900 "untouchables'
added their votes today to the chorus
of opposition to British proposals
for settlement Of the Indian indie
pendence issue.
Dispatches from New Delhi quoted
DR.. Bhimrao Ambdedkar and M. C.
Raja, spokesman for the "untouch-
ables," as saying the proposals ARE
calculated to do great harm to the
depressed classes and are sure to
place them under an unmitigated
system of Hindu rule"
Such a catastrophe" they added,
will be resisted by all means at
our command"
At the same time the standing
committee of the All-India States
Peoples Conference adopted a reso-
luton characterizing the British
plan as utterly harmful and in
furious to the cause of freedom, both
in the States and in India as q
while" and pledging resistance to
the utmost.
Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, former
president of the powerful Congress
Party, which already has rejected
the plan. presided over the commit
tee meeting.
Hopes Are Dimmed.
In London these developments
dimmed hope for a satisfactory solu-
ton which had been raised when
Sir Stafford Grips, British govern
ment envoy, postponed his sched-
uled departure from New Delhi next

However, the men want more en-

from the folks back home.
This was the most detailed &C
count received through neutral
sources to date on the welfare OF
men who fell into enemy hands.
Representative White was chosen
to release the report, presumably
because many Of the soldiers and
civilians captured in the American
outsposts were residents OF Idaho,
Oregon and Washington. Civilians
from these and other Western States
were engaged in military construc-
ton work on the captured islands.
