$50 Killed, 400 Hurt
In Fortress Raid on
Holland +, Nazis Say
Thousands Also Reported
Homeless; U. S. Flyers
Fight Fierce Sky Bottle
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, April 1.-The Nazi-
controlled Dutch radio said in a
broadcast recorded by the As
sociated Press today that $50
persons were killed, 400 injured
and thousands made homeless
by the American Flying Fortress
raid yesterday on Rotterdam,
chief port of call for German
coastal conveys.
AT A UNITED STATES BOMBER
STATION IN ENGLAND, April l
(P.-Flying Fortresses and a strong
force Of enemy fighters fought a
fierce sky battle 10000 feet over the
English Channel yesterday and then
the bombers streaked on through
heavy clouds to unload explosives
and incendiaries on the harbor and
Schidam suburb of Rotterdam.
First Schidam Raid.
It was the first attack on Schidam
by the Americans. who twice be-
fore have raided Rotterdam. This
attack was the ninth in a busy
month for heavy American bombers.
Luck rode with the bombers from
this particular station, none Of
which was shot down although a
United States Air Force commu-
nique said a bomber from another
station was lost in the raid.
Over the target area they found
a break in the four-layer thickness
Of clouds encountered along the
route. enabling them to see their OBJ
jectives clearly in unloading bombs.
Returning flyers reported many
explosions and fires on the dock
area and on some of the large num-
Der OF ships they observed in the
harbor.
Draw OF Foes Fighters.
Before heading directly for the
target the bombers had engaged in
a diversionary maneuver which drew
back the enemy fighters almost to
the English coast in pursuit. With
the Channel obscured by clouds,
they fought of vicious attacks by
Is to 80 Focke-Wulf 1905 and Mes
serschmitt 1905, several of which
were shot down.

And am even more convinced
that unless the American people
are willing to assume their fair
share of responsibility for the
maintenance Of peace in the world
of the future, by joining in the exer-
else of police powers when that may
be determined by international
agreement to be necessary, and by
participating in such other forms
Of international cooperation as may
effectively prevent the rise of eco
nomic or political dangers, the peace
Of the world cannot be maintained"
he said.
Must Share Postwar Burden.
In the postwar period, the Under
secretary said, 1t will be necessary
for this country to supply its fair
share of immediate relief to those
left destitute in the wake of the
war, mot only for humanitarian
reasons but for reasons of purest
self-interest."
In the interest of the taxpayer,
Mr.. Welles said the relief period
must be as short as possible, which
means that peoples of the devas-
tated countries must be placed upon
self-reliant and a self-sustaining
basis as rapidly as possible"
From this standpoint, wise trade
policies are essential" he continued
Foreign countries can attain a
self-sustaining basis only if there
are markets for their products. Full
employment of our men and re-
sources can be maintained only If
there are markets for our products.
In a larger sense, also. sound in
ternational trade policies are essen
tial in relation to our vital in
terests. They are essential, above
all, from the standpoint of con-
structing durable peace"
Key to CO. Operation.
Mr.. Welles said that whether the
Congress renews the Trade Agree
ments Act, which will expire in
June, as the first concrete test of
whether we really intend to CO.
operate with the rest Of the world
in matter that is essential not only
to the full solution Of our domestic
problems, but to the construction of
a durable peace"

Ship Policy Saves U. 5,
u Million MONTHLY,
Official Claims
Requisitioning Delay
Defended by Wilcox
Before House Unit
BY the Associated Press.


The Maritime Commissions policy
two years ago Of deferring requisi-
tioning of ships until rates were re-
duced voluntarily Is reported now
saving the Government at least $21,-
100000 month.
That figure was given to the House
Merchant Marine Subcommittee yes
terday by NJ L. Wilcox, who, as as
sistant director of the commission's
Emergency Shipping Division, nego-
tiated contracts for privately-owned
American ships to carry war cargo
to the Red Sea for the British in the
spring and summer OF 1941. Other
commission officials commented that
Mr.. Wilcox's estimate was extremely
conservative"
With Mr.. Wilcox's testimony, the
subcommittee brought to a close
hearings on charges that "uncon-
scionable profits" were earned by 80
vessels in 81 round trips to the Red
Sea.
Figures Called Distorted"
For those trips, the committee was
told by its counsel, the vessels own
ers received $31 1,364,880 In charter
hire from the British Ministry Of
War Transportation-paid out Of
lease-lend funds-and from the voy-
ages earned $26,874,176 in profits.
Representatives Of the lines in
volved replied that the committee
counsel's figures were distorted" in
their presentation, taking no ac-
count of approximately $40 900 900
cargo carried on return voyages.
Furthermore, they contended, the
profit figure given was before over
head, depreciation and taxes, which
left only modest" net profit. Taxes
alone took 80 to 10 per cent of the
gross profit, they said.
Mr.. Wilcox told the committee
that when the charters were entered
into, the commission was without
authority to requisition vessels, and
did not get the authority until
President Roosevelt's declaration of
an unlimited national emergency in
May, 1941.
Rate Basis Changed.
Therefore, rates agreed on for the
Red Sea voyages were reached on
voluntary basis and compared
favorably with the then going"
rates in shorter and less hazardous
services, he said.
Throughout 1941, he added, the
commission continued to exercise all
powers at its command to bring
about voluntary rate reductions and,
notwithstanding the ship shortage,
substantial reductions were effected.
BY the spring of 1912, when
blanket requisitioning of seagoing
tonnage was undertaken, rates had
been reduced to such level that
the cost was at least $2l ,0OO, 900 a
month less than 1t would have been

NAM Demands Ban
On Foremen's Unions
Declares Dual Allegiance
Would Curb Production
Es the Associated Press.

CD tuc ASSOClhJSu HIeb0
NEW YORK, April 1.-The Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
yesterday urged prompt passage Of
pending legislation designed to pro-
hibit establishment of foremen's
unions.
Referring to current hearings be-
fore the House Military Affairs
Committee on legislation defining
foremen and other supervisory en-
ployes as being part of management
and prohibiting employers from
dealing with unions admitting SUI
pervisory personnel to membership,
the NAM Board of Directors passed
a resolution saying:
That the organization was "op-
posed to any Interpretation of the
National Labor Relations Board
which would permit foremen to
unionize for the purpose of bargain
ing collectively with employers"
These factors were included as 4
basis for the boards resolution:
The foreman is the first line" of
management In dealing with en-
ployeS and as such he must be
exclusively responsible to top man
agement;
A unionized dual allegiance would
destroy his ability to maintain the
efficiency and discipline of men
under his direction:
Foremen could no longer receive
and act on grievances for the man
agement with union foremen super
vising union workers.
The resolution said foremen could
not logically or practically be at
the same time employees for collec-
tive bargaining purposes and super
visors for management purposes,
saying such dual allegiance could
result only in friction and demoral-
ization of war production.

Congress Determined
10 Be Represented al
Postwar Food Farley
Members Nay Request
Bid From President to
Allied Nations ToIks
By the Associated Press.


Determination to sit in on a.
United Nation postwar food con-.
ference this month developed in
Congress today, with the posi-
bility that a formal bid for an
invitation will be sought from
President Roosevelt.
Influential lawmakers of both ma
jor parties expressed belief that
Congress should send its own rep
resentatives to serve either as OBJ
servers or participants in the delib-
erations, scheduled to begin April
u at a place yet to be selected.
80 Governments Invited.
The State Department has am
nounced that 80 governments have
been invited to send experts to disc
cuss such problems as food produce
ton and distribution, nutrition, and
commercial and financial arrange
ments in the postwar period.
Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee expressed
belief that Congress should be rep.
resented by the Appropriations Sub
committee on Agricultural Expendi-
lures, as well as by members Of the
Agriculture Committees.
tits a grand idea," agreed Rep
resentative Dirksen of Illinois, rank
ing minority member Of the COM
mittee. Congress should have an
intimate, working knowledge of
what is done at the meetings, what
arrangements are made, what
agreements are reached"
"If," he added, I'VE are going to
assist or play a major part in feed
ing the world, then Congress GER
tainly has a responsibility to the
people to find out just what that
assistance is going to be and how
it is going to affect American
economy"
Both he and Representative Hope,
Republican, of Kansas, ranking
minority members of the House
Agriculture Committee, declared
that any program worked out prob
ably would have to be supplemented
by legislation and congressional
appropriations. g.
Congress Should Be Represented"
Certainly, then, congress should
be represented" said Mr.. Hope
Perhaps it could best be handled
by having the Speaker of the House
and the Vice President appoint q
special committee"
Representative Vorys. Republican,
Of Ohio, a member Of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, said he
would hope and would expect"
that Congress would be repre-
sented, mot as mere observers. but
as participants"
ut would be terrible mistake to
ignore Congress, and I can't be-
lieve that mistake Is made" he
declared. But If it Is ignored, we
can take steps to pass a resolution
and send our own representatives.
Representative Pat Cannon, Dem
ocrat, of Florida, member Of the
Appropriations Committee, also said
that Congress should be con-
suited"

me an association of which I was
never prouder than I am today.
I'm the quarter century since the
Raj assumed. its present name 1t
won-and daily continues to win
imperiShable renown ="
Gen. Arnold said American flyers
look forward to increasing COOP

Proper Quarantine
Of Measles Asked

Due to the unusual number of
measles cases In Arlington, parents
were advised today by Fletcher
Kemp, county superintendent of
schools, and DR.. Ralph G. Beachley,
Arlington director of health and
welfare, to keep children with this
disease on the premises for a week.
1t was pointed out that in many
instances children who are sent
home from school with measles or
whooping cough are not properly
quarantineed. and it is such cases
that cause the spread of the disease.
DR.. Beachley and Mr.. Kemp both
requested parents of such children
to follow proper quarantine regula-
tions and to call their physicians.
