Labor Press Asked
By Davis 10 Help Curb
'Hotheads' in Unions
w. L. B. Head Praises
Willingness Of Leaders
To Head OFF Strikes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 9.-William H.
Davis, chairman of the National
War Labor Board, told conference
of labor editors tonight that they
could help achieve nonstop" pro-
duction by printing news which
would curb the activities of hot
heads" within unions.
Mr.. Davis addressed the closing
session of a one-day conference
sponsored by the War Production
Board and the New York State La
Dor Press Association. More than
100 Eastern States editors attended.
Wants "Hotheads" Warned.
Whenever a strike breaks out
in q war industry. the labor press
can play up the disciplinary meas
ures which the responsible leaders
Of labor take to get production going
again." Mr.. Davis said. This will
serve to put the hotheads on notice
that they will not only have to
deal with q determined Government
but also with q determined labor
leadership"
Mr.. Davis asserted that there had
not been single authorized strike
since the japanese attack on Pearl
Harbor, and declared that every
time q wildcat walkout occurred, the
War Labor Board found union off,
cials ready to do all they could to
end the stoppage."
Dr.. A. H. Feller, deputy director

Union Papers Can Help.
Union trade papers. he said, can
help just as much as the daily press
and in some instances more.
Robert w. Horton, director Of the
Division of Information for the
o. E. M, advised the editors that
"our office is charged with dissem-
mating propaganda and the word
propaganda has q connotation Of
fabrication. This is gross untruth.
We. give only the facts as we see
them"
Other speakers included Melvyn
Douglas, screen actor and civilian

Coincidence Marks Career
Of u. S. S. Peory and Admiral
Discoverer Died and Destroyer
Went Down on February 19

In life and death, coincidence tied
the game destroyer Peary to the
man for whom it was named-Rear
Admiral Robert E. Peary, discoverer
of the North Pole.
Admiral Peary's daughter, Mrs
Edward Stafford, 1905 Allison street
NV, yesterday pointed to this
chain of circumstances:
On April 6, 1920, the Peary was
launched. The then Secretary of the
Navy. Josephus Daniels, had set
the launching for some time early
in April, and at the familys request
the anniversary of the day Admiral
Peary sighted the pole-April 6,
1909-was chosen.

Since champagne for launchings
was banned, Mrs. Stafford, who had
been asked to sponsor the ship sent

in Casco Bay. Me, for bottle of
water from the island well.
Christened with we'll water, the
destroyer slipped down the ways

Flyers Defy Death
To Rescue I Sailors
In Sub-Infested Seas
One on Roft II Doys
After Torpedoine Of
Punumo Boot Dies
BY the Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Va, May 9.-Ema-
ciated and delirious after IL days
adrift on a raft, two survivors of a
torpedoed Panamanian cargo ship
were rescued May 2 by Coast
Guard seaplane whose crew defied
death in rough, submarine-infested
seas to save the semi-conscious sea-
men.
The sinking of the small ship,
which occurred of the Atlantic
Coast on April 20, was announced
by the Navy today.
The two men brought to Norfolk
by the Coast Guard plane were
Fireman Terrence j. Bradley, Is, an
Australian, and Chief Steward JOS
eph Dieltiens. 43 a Belgian, both
listed from New York City. Mr..
Dieltiens died in a Norfolk hospital
two days after he was rescued.
Mr.. Bradley said he believed that
he and Mr. Dieltiens wert>.t the only
survivors of the ships 34-mtan crew,
many of whom drowned when the
attacking submarine cruised ancng
them. Members of the submersiblaf
crew stood at attention on the con-
ming tower.
They didn't speak to u.s." Mr.
Bradley related. They didn't even
turn their heads"
Il saw some one, the second en-
gineer I think. sitting astride a
plank in the water. He was COW
cred with blood. but he was shaking
his fists at the U-boat. cursing them
for all he was worth"
Mr.. Bradley, who lost so pounds
while on the raft. said the ship was
torpedoed at dusk and went down
in one minute" The torpedo, he
related, blew everything up. Only
three of us in the wardroom even
got out"
The survivors saw planes three
times during their II days on the
raft, but the planes did not spot
them. Mr.. Bradley said that last
Saturday morning an Army bomber
flew over and dived close to the
raft.
II was afraid they thought we
were a U-boat," Mr.. Bradley re-
lated. The bomber dropped a box
of chocolate beside the raft.
1--WE ripped it open with our
nails" Mr.. Bradley said. "It was
Army chocolate, the best thing I
ever tasted. We ate the whole
box"
The bomber remained in the
vicinity until the Coast Guard plane
arrived.
1t. Comdr. r. L. Burke, U. S.
C. G., in command of the rescue
plane, reported that after search
ing the vicinity and locating the
raft the plane made successful

The census, first effort anywhere
in California to meet farm labor
crisis by other means than appeals
to federal and state governments,
was decided upon Wednesday night
by a large group of farm leaders,
draft board members and farm labor
officials. It's purpose is to provide
seIective service boards with reliable
data upon which to base deferment
decisions on farm laborers, and to
determine which agricultural labor
ers are putting in only a minimum
of time.
The census will be a permanent
project as long as there is a labor
shortage, Finney said Friday. 1t
will include not only a complete list
of all farm operators and laborers,
but will keep a running tabulation
of the men available, show when
they leave the valley, how many
days a week they work, and indi-
cate additional laborers who may
come here.
About five paid workers will keep
