YOGOSLAV ARMIES
STRIKE AT GERMANS

London - Yugoslav patriot
armies have hurled back several
more German attacks on the
strategic Adriatic port of Split,
still hold the greater part of Su-
SAX in the north, and have kill
ed hundreds of the enemy and
destroyed an armored train, tanks
and other equipment, commun-
ique said.
The enemy suffered ''heavy
losses" in the effort to regain
Split, said a Yugoslav Liberation
army bulletin issued here.
The port could serve as a
bridgehead for an Allied inva-
sion of the Balkans, and amid re-
ports of spreading unrest in that
shakily-held 'back door" to Ger
srlany there were increasing in
@dications that the Yugoslav fight
ing had grown out of the guer-
rilla stage to a major operation,
possibly directed by the Allied
High Command.

LEATHER SHOES MAY
BE HARD TO GET SOON

Washington - Leather-soled
shoes may be hard to get before
long.
Synthetic rubber and plastics
will be used, the War Production
Board said this week, to offset
what it called serious shortage
in sole leather. Seventeen mil
lion pairs of shoes with rubber
soles will be made the last three
months of this year.
Even that won't ease entirely
the shoe scarcity which this week
prompted the Office of Price Ad-
ministration to lengthen to six
months the life of the next shoe
coupon. WPB said if manpow-
er were available enough synthet-
ic soles could be produced to end
the shoe scarcity, that there is
plenty of leather for uppers.
The agency blamed the short
age of sole leather on short mar
ketings Of cattle early last year.
Noting that four to six months
are needed to process hides into
sole leather, it said current in
creases in cattle marketings, con-
sequently, will not improve the
shoe situation until 1914

BAILEY ANNOUNCES
AID FOR N. C.. CHILDREN

Washi. ton - Senator Josiah

al of the ederal Works Agency
of 1854 t. De used in assistance
in maintaining child care facili-
ties in eight counties in North
Carolina.
The State Board of Education
will sponsor the project, which
will cost a little more than $4,000
above the amount allocated by
the FWA. The following counties
will benefit from the grant: Ber-
tie, Chowan, Gates, Halifax, Hem
derson, Hartford, Northampton,
and Pitt.
The FWA said providing child
welfare assistance was necessary
because many women were need
ed to help on vegetable farms,
and their children required super
vision during the day. The pro-
ject includes open centers in eight
camps for the care of 200 chill
dren of both pre-school and
school age. Three war nurseries
in Greenville to accommodate rs
children of migrant families now

BRITISH SCIENTIST
\ KILLED BY EXPLOSIVE

London - Five Britons, one of
them scientist working with the
others to perfect a powerful new
explosive, were killed in an ar
senal shortly before the outbreak
of the war, but their work, end
ing so tragically, helped to pro-
vide the Allies with RDX, a Sc
cret explosive more deadly than
TINT.
They were killed when a IS
inch shell being filled with so
pounds of RDX exploded, the
Ministry of Supply disclosed. The
lives of these men, who took cap
ital risks so that Britain might
be spared, "were not wasted" the
Ministry said.

AMiIitont Union
By JACK HOLT
INTERNATIONAL
REPRESENTATIVE
UAWA

The term militant Union has
taken a new meaning for our or
ganization since December Z, 1941,
We still have the spirit and the
determination to fight, to do every
thing in our power to protect the
interests of the working men and
women of our Union. We have
every intention of making further
gains for our membership in the
improvement of their hours, wages,
and working conditions.
The protection of u rights,
however, must follow new lines for
the duration of the war that we
are fighting to preserve the Amer
lean workers standards of living.
The strike and the picket line have
been put on the shelf. We are
demonstrating to the world, that
in this great democracy, the worker
is the patriotic backbone of Amer
lea.
The question has been asked,
How to maintain a militant or
ganization when we have given up
the right to striker The answer
lies in the halls of u State and
National legislatures. We must
carry the fight through all of our
legal resources, through letters,
calls, and kilograms to all of our
representatives, insisting on fair
and decent Labor Laws to protect
out people. AS the largest Labor
Union in the world, the United
Auto Workers must lead the way
in the fight that is the fight of
every worker. American standards
of living for the American Work.

Election Won
At MoIIeobIe

The victory of the UE at NAL
leable Iron was won in the face
of the most vicious anti Union
tactics that have ever been used
by any management in Dayton.
With a company union and a nasty
smearing campaign against the UE,
management fought up to the day
of the election to ward off hon.
est collective bargaining.
The workers ignored the sland-
ering and the attempts to con-
fuse the issue, and on March 3rd,
1913 won a National Labor Board
election. The United Electrical
Workers in Dayton are proud of
the clean and honest manner in
which the workers at Malleable
forged ahead, using as their only
argument the program of the UE-
CLIO.
Our only program is to better
the hours, wages, and the work
ing conditions of the American
worker, and we r happy to have
these workers as a part of our
progressive organization.

Hazard to the
Wor.Effort

The mo Smoking signs dis
played in prominent places
throughout our war plants in this
vicinity are rigidly enforced by
management.
In the offices of these same
plants, however, smoking is very
much in evidence. Cigars, ciga-
rettes and pipes are promiscuously
Lit up. Paper and other combust-
ible materials literally cover the
desks. This constitutes a serious
menace to the life and limb of
war workers. Where exit through
office entrances are made, all ave-
nue. of escape would be blocked,
in case of fire. Increased man hours
lost and morale greatly under
mined, can only be the logical
result of such a conflagration.
Government officials and insur-
ance companies should take imme-
date steps to prevent any possible
disruption of this kind, to our war
effort, when material of every de-
scription is needed so desperately
by the boys in the armed forces.

VIEWS AND REVIEWS
By
INTERNATIONAL OFFICERS AND REPRESENTATIVES
OF THE CLIO
REPRESENTATIVES

winning the war in the shortest
possible time, through the open
ing of a real second front our
reactionary Congressman and
State legislators are flooding the
chambers with every type, kind,
and shape of vicious anti-Labor
legislation. Their cold blooded
scheme is not new. They desire to
have is completely tied up fighting
against reaction at home so that
we cannot make our fullest pos
sible effort to win the war, both
at home and abroad.
We must see through this great
fraud against our nation, and our
allies. We must show every reac-
tionary anti-labor legislator, col
umnist, "ex-raft rider" speaker,
that labor will not permit the I'M
necessary deaths of thousands of
our youth, so that Hitler and his
lackeys can live a little longer.

A former Boston all-American
football player, Captain in the
u. S. armed forces in North
Africa, writes back to his home
town paper and reports that the
boys are all interested in the box
score, not the basketball, or foot
ball box score, but the box score
in Russia
This deep felt interest, and re-
spect, flows from the knowledge
that they are fighting a common
enemy, an enemy of all civilized
mankind, and the respect shown by
our soldiers for their Russian
comrades-in-arms, develops from
the heat of battle against the COM
mon murderous enemy. u. S. sold
iers in North Africa, now fight
ing Hitler's storm troopers under
stand and appreciate more than
anyone possibly can, just what the
Russian soldiers, and citizens have
been up against during the past q
months, fighting this common en-
envy.
We have read of the mounting
Russian box score" but now on
some battle fronts it is going
badly. The great Russian often
sive must have cost many thou
sands of soldiers, and tremendous
use of equipment and supplies.
Such an offensive cannot keep
going indefinitely unless the en-
envy is attacked from other fronts
simultaneously. This is not hap
pening, and as a result Hitler has
been able to transfer many di-
visions from Europe to the East
ern front, to fight his enemies
"one at a time" We cannot under
estimate the effect and value of the
North African campaign. But the
real battle, the battle which must
seal Hitler's fate must take place
right on the continent, directed at
the heart of Fascism, Berlin.
The opening of a great often
sive in Europe, simultaneous with
the Russian victories is needed
now. Victory, speedy and COM
plete, this year, depends upon such
an attack being made without de-
lay so that the Nazi murderers
will not know which way to turn,
where to send their remaining for
ces, and equipment Such a two,
front attack, with the aid of all
the enslaved people of Europe, will
mean in the final outcome the
saving of thousands of lives of
American soldiers. It is the quick
est, the least costly path TO the de-
feat of fascism and the Hitler
forces in 1913.
Labor's Enemies
The enemies of labor in the
United States, the friends of Hit
Ter and fascism, fully realize the
possibilities of victory for the
United Nations, through the open
ing of a European front. They
know that the speedier and more
thorough the victory over fascism,
the quicker we will return to the
fight for adoption of a great ma
tionaI program of human better
ment, and security in the u. S. A.
as proposed by the National Re-
sources Planning Board.
In an effort to divert our at
tention from the big issue :.
