1T is imperative that military per-

states. Efficiency Of performance
varies in direct proportion to An
individuals peace Of mind and
mental stability. This human fac
tor falters in the face Of worry con-
cerning the loved ones left hene.

legal entanglements."

that may have brought about the

serving notice on the world that
the Republican victories are not to
be construed "in any wise as q re-
pudiation Of the war objectives Of
the American people" or Of their de-

pointed that we did not have more
Marines and guns" in the Solomon
Islands, or IN the Egyptian theater
Of war. He said he did not believe
the people were adequately informed
Of the dificulties Of conducting the
war against Japan on many islands
across 1000 miles Of ocean. Many,
he said, do not realize that the
Axis powers were preparing for
years, while this country was not
prepared.
"And yet" he continued, some of
those demanding more vigorous war
effort now, were declaiming four
years ago against increased expendi-
lures for naval expansion"
Turning to the part home front
problems may have played in the
election, Senator Connally said 'The
American people resent interference
with their comfort and convenience
more than any people on earth"
In some sections Of the country,
Senator .Connally said, there was
a feeling that we, have been too
tender with labor and too harsh
with the farmer" =.
McNary Draws Conclnsisn. !
Senator McNary took the floor IT
the conclusion of Senator Cons.
nally's speech to assert that In no
way could the victory Of the Re-
publicans at the polls on Tuesday
be construed as o. blow to the war
effort Of the country, The Repub-
licans, he said, are wholeheartedly
supporting that effort. He pointed
to their votes In Congress on all
war measures since Pearl Harbor.
The Republican leader also laid
the responsibility for, the uprising
Of the voters against the New Deal
administration at the door Of the
bureaucratic "dictators" who have
been set up to bell the American
people what they can and cannot
do. He mentioned particularly Id
this connection former Justice
Byrnes Of. the Supreme Court, rel

of boots and clothing to the victims
of air raids, the hostels, the day
nurseries, the clubs for our mer-
chant seanen.' I could very easily
add to that list and when I had
done so, should still have failed to
paint any adequate picture of what
all this giving has meant, not mere
ly in the actual relief of physical
suffering, but still more in the mes
sage of comradeship and sympathy
it brought.
Because you have given so gen
erously, we are daring to ask you to
give again now to the peoples OF all
your allies, to your own men in the
forces and to those innumerable
enterprises which ennoble the civic
life of this country. Some may call
1t a small thing that you are doing
here today-small by contrast with
what is happening elsewhere in this
war. But they would be wrong. It
is big thing. Through the CEN
turies much Of the noblest inspira-
ton has flowed from the works Of
mercy which the heart Of man has
moved him to undertake on behalf
Of his fellows.
Cites Deeds of Sacrifice. ~
We may think of Father Damien
among the lepers Of his, island In
the South Seas; we may think of
Florence Nightingale walking with
her. lamp through those wards. filled
with dying, men where 20 swoman
had, walked befoEa. rsWe may think
Of. Clara Barton, founder of. the
American Red Cross, who went out
herself with the sick transports, to
succor the wounded of the Civil
War. We may think OF Jane
Adams and her labors many years
ago, among the poor and downtrod-
den in Chicago. These-and I could
mention countless others-hold high
place In the respect and affection Of
the world today.
And II we cannot hope to reach
their heights of devotion, yet every
one of us, at one time or another,
finds himself with them travelling
down that old road from Jerusalem
to Jericho. At one time or another
every one of us will see that man
who fell among thieves and lies
bleeding by the roadside. And every
one Of us has then to make choice
to pass by on the other side or,
like the Good Samaritan, to bring
succor and healing to the fallen.
do not think you would be here to-
day If you had not already made
your choice.

suppose that on an occasion like
this we are all thinking about those
whom the Community Chest and
the Community War Fund will be
helping. Our thoughts are with the
men locked in that desperate battle
in the Solomon Islands; with the
men who at this hour are hanging
on to the ruins Of Stalingrad; with
the men who are fighting in the
deserts of North Africa; with the
armies Of China. firm, competent
under proved leadership, after six
years of dauntless resistance to an
aggressive enemy; with brave men
of all our Allies, whether in active
military service or guarding the
faith OF freedom under the German
heel; with the men at sea. by whose
devotion the several fronts of the
United Nations are supported; with
the men Of the air, who have given
us all a new target OF daring and

II that were all for which we were
here today 1t would be a great deal
But 1t Is only a part. Our cause
today goes beyond the civic bounds
of Washington. It goes beyond the
frontiers of the United States. This
war has destroyed the old distinc-
ton between those who fight in the
front line and those who fight in
factories and on farms. Therefore,
it was surely a wise and right de-
cision that the Community Chest
should join the Community War
Fund in this appeal to the gener-
osity Of the people of Washington.
I know what that generosity can
do. I know what the generosity of
your country has done for mine.

recommendation affecting Chicago

The panel called for maintenance
Of on-membership clause, with .
15-day escape" provision. the check
of of union dues, Is well as seniority
and arbitration provisions.
John A. Barr, the company's Labor
relations manager, had concluded
his argument against the panel re-
port with the remark, Wards must
reject any proposals which require
it to enter into contracts which It
believes to be illegal, or to surrender
principles which it considers to be
fundamental" ..

Dean Morse, recalling that COM
ment, asked whether 1t was . correct
Interpretation that If the board
should order any form of union
maintenance, I'VE would be met with
non compliance and defiance by
the company"
Mr.. Barr replied, IT think that Is
q reasonable conclusion"
Dean Morse said the companyS
position raised q question whether
the Government shall prevail In
time of war to protect the security
of this country .over q position Sof
rugged individualism on the part of
any employer"
He said that If the company were
permitted to sustain itself in such
a position, American labor would be
free then to resort to the strike,
which I hope its patriotism would
prevent 1t from doing. but never
theless, 1t would be free to do it,"

DR.. Frank p. Graham, another
public member, told the company
representatives that under the
panels recommendation there was
no compulsion for old or new en-
ployes to join the union and that
employees already In the union would
have Is days to withdraw II they
desired. He said the only freedom
involved was the freedom of the in
dividua1 to agree voluntarily to re-
main a union member Tor the 'dural
ton Of the Contract. 'sMf Barr,
however, said the company 5 right
to retain or discharge an employe
was involved because the clause
would require the. empf61e tor main.
tain good standing in the unien and
the company had no control over
what constituted good standing.
He said the managemmt's posi-

A Chinese Army spokesman said
today the Japanese appeared to
be making large-scale military
preparations in China, massing
troops in five provinces, four of
them running down inland
China from the Mongolian bor-
der and one OF them on the
coast north Of Shanghai.
He said Chinese intelligence re-
ports said the Japanese were mass
ing troops in the provinces Of
Hupeh. Honan, Shansi, Suiyuan and
Shantung. .--S.' So
Between $4,000 and 10000 troops
were concentrated in Hankow, In
Hupeh Province, great Japanese in
land base on the Yangtze River,
he said. while 10000 to 10000 were
in the Tai Mountains Of Shantung,

Inc spokesman Sald II was dln.
cult to predict the enemy's obiec-
tives until the drive started. It
was possible, he added, that one
of the Japanese hopes might be to
close the gap in the Peking -Hankow
rail line, of which roughly go per
cent now is in Japanese control.
The enemy might be seeking to
consolidated his positions, partic-
ularly in North China. Most of his
drives in the recent past have been
launched with the purpose of re.
moving potential bases for Chinese
counterattack.
