The controversy, the committee de-
clared, may spread To other ship
yards, upset the shipyard stabilization
agreement and cause many violations
of the nO-strike policy.
Union Pact Freezing Asked
Recommending that the labor board
reconsider its action and take into
consideration the danger to war pro-
duction and national security, the COM
mittee asked that all clOsed-shOp
agreements with recognized labor or
ganizations, such as the pact between
the AFL unions and Kaiser manage
ment which is involved in the NLRB
case. be frozen for the duration of the
war"
In his statement, President Green
said:
1T is the public duty of the NlRB
to comply with the recommendations
made after careful and unbiased study
of actual conditions. Everyone in the
nation knows there Is Il war going on.
The NLRB must also take cogniZance
of this fact and guide itself accord
ingly.
Issue mot Academic"
"The issue involved in the Kaiser
case is not an academic one. 1t is Il
matter of life and death to our sol
dierS overseas who must depend ON
the supplies brought to them by Lib
erty ships built in the Kaiser ship
yards. Any action from whatever
source which interefers with the pro-
ductiOn OF these Liberty ships consti-
tutes an act of sabotage against Amer
ica's war effort. Surely no Government
agency should place itself in such an
indefensible position.

In brief, concentrated assault
such as only Hamburg had ever be-

Returning British and Canadian
airmen said whole clusters o fbuild-

spreading flames when they left.
Only 26 bombers ere lost in the

Moscow reported that Soviet

hurled tons of shells into the city
