Whitney, president of the Brotherhood of Railway train men, will represent the Brotherhoods and presumably will convey MT. Roosevelt's views to the meeting at Chicago Friday.
 Recent labor unrest has been re- flected in the Alabama and Indiana coal strikes, last weeks trucking strike in the south, and walkouts at Kearney, N. J., and Philadelphia shipyards.
 Moreover, labor leaders have be- come more critical of the wage stah- il.zation program. The AFL conven- tion criticized Its administration, and Murray told congressional committee that 1t must be revised. The influential United Automobile Workers (CIO) demanded that the little steel wage formula be scrapped.
 Labor officials have charged that wages have not kept pace with the cost of living and that the admin istration has refused to eliminate inequities in industries with tagging wage scales.
 , SoSnA iAnor observers have regard ed these recent developments as ! symptoms of crisis One qualified source predicted the outcome of the struggle would be determined within a few weeks.

 The witness face turned red and he scowled at the attorney when he was asked why he touched the body,
 T was panicky, MT. Higgs," he shouted. T tried to do the best thing for the best friend I ever had"
 "Why did you not call doctor?"
 Because l asked Mrs. Newell and my brother Frank to get the doctor.
 Christie related that he shook Sir Harry and lifted his body when he found him.

 T did not see any"

 The witness became eXasperated at the questioning when Higgs in- sisted upon knowing which side of the towel he wet before wiping Oakes' face.
 For heavens sake, Higgs, be req sonable." Christie said. T do not know"
 Spectators laughed.
 "Silence!" shouted several police men who stood around the walls of the tiny courtroom.
 The attorney asked Christie sud- denly: What shoes were you wear ing when you found the body?"
 Christie stuck to his previous test imony, repeating that he was bare foot.

 In one sector alone, 2,000 Ger mans were killed and A tanks dis abled.
 Street fighting in Melitopol, ll5 miles south of Dnepropetrovask, went into the ninth day without a decision. The army Organ Red Star said clouds of dust and smoke hov- cred over the gateway city to the Crimea as the Germans tried des- perately to frustrate Soviet efforts to encircle the city.
 Trenches and orchards in the southern outskirts of Melitopol were described as filled with enemy dead.

One German division lost 50 per cent of its effectives In the first day of street fighting.
 To the northwest, the Russians smashed to within six miles of the northern outskirts of Kiev, capital of the Ukraine, and captured Vysh- gorod, commanding a broad high way into the Metropolis.

CContmueu rom Page D that the Republican Party must be neither pro-labor nor anti-labor and that as the nations industry ex- bands, so should security for its workers.
 Willkie favored a postwar coun- ell of nations to use force, if neces- sary to maintain peace. He urged collaboration with Russia, which he described as strong and powerful in the health of its citizens and progressive in its mechanical fa- cilities. He was reported to have expressed the opinion that the Brit ish were "outsmarting" the United States with better equipped diplo- mats than we have.
 In response to a question, Will kie was reported to have explained that he was willing to surrender sovereignty to the purpose and ex- tent necessary to support council of nations to maintain peace. From the audience a fellow Republican shouted:

 Any tax increase the Republi- cans held, would inevitably lead to a demand for higher wages. Un- der present rates, existing taxes will in all probability be far more pro- ductive than treasury estimates in- dicate. Our experience with the treasury's revenue estimates in the past few years offers abundant as- surance of such a probaDi1ty."
 The Republican statement came 24 hours after a spokesman for the National AssociatiE@ of Manufac- turers made the same proposal. The man contended that present rates would bring in enough revenue: that treasury estimates of i944 yield were too low; that higher tax es would threaten the white collar worker and white collar" busi- ness.
 Rep. Harold Knutson of Minne- sota, who issued the state on be- half of his Republican colleagues, explained that the stand also ap. piled to a sales tax.
 Ways and Means Chairman Rob- ert L. Doughton, D., N. O., said: ''It is regrettable that the Repub- llcans have seen it to play politics with the new tax bill, even before hearings ase completed"
