sands of workers at the Cramp
Shipbuilding Co., which operates
one of the largest shipyards on the
East Coast, stayed away from their
jobs today in a dispute with the
management, and the company said
production was at a standstill
The stoppage developed yesterday
when 1000 employees left for lunch
and failed to return. The company
said virtually all" workers joined
the stoppags today.
Representative Bradley, Philadel-
phia Democrat, disclosed that he
had suggested to the Navy on We'd
nesday that Navy Intervention in
the dispute might be necessary.
Philip H. Van Gelder, secretary
treasurer Of the Industrial Union
OF Marine and Shipbuilding Workers
OF America. CIO, said the stoppage
was provoked in the first instance
by the company discharge of a
union shop steward without observ-
ing the regular procedure prescribed
by agreement"
Company Refuses Statement.
| A spokesman for Henry E. Rossell,
the company president, asked to dis
cuss the cause Of the stoppage, said
the company could make mo con-
else statement"
Mr.. Russell said in formal state
ment that the management met
with union officials this afternoon
and assured them that "once the
men were brought back to work, all
grievances would 60 through the
proper channels and would be sub
Ject to adjustment in accordance
with the contract"
The stoppage brought from Rep
resentative Bradley the assertion
that I'VE can have no repetition of
the Brewster situation at Cramps. !"
Unless the current difficulties are
quickly adjusted and basis for fu-
ture cooperation established, will
demand that the Navy take over the
yard and operate it so that the war
program will not be interrupted"
| he said.
Request Made to Forrestal.
His request for Navy "interven-
ton" in the dispute, Mr.. Bradley
added. was made to Undersecretary
James v. Forrestal. Later Navy
labor relations officers, the union
said, attempted to arrange a con-
ference but company fatty re-
fused"
Representative Bradley said that
during the congressional recess he
investigated conditions at the four
major shipyards along the Della
ware River-the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, New York Shipbuilding Corp.
Drabo Corp. at Wilmington, and
Cramps, at the direction of the
chairman of the House Naval Affairs
Committee.
"At the first, three conditions were
satisfactory, construction was pro-
ceeding we'll and labor relations.
generally speaking, were very good"
Mr. Bradley said. The Cramp
yard left great deal to be desired,
in addition to strained labor rela-
| tions."

ling of her life's data, her highly
distinctive conformation of life
with personal rejoinder.
Moreover, the disastrous mis-
use of fine heredity and environ
ment is too familiar a phenom-
enon TO be doubted. Children
are not coercively destined to
well-integrated personalities be-
cause they are we'll born and
we'll bestead Identical twins, of
like genes and similar environ
ment, can travel diverse paths
to noticeably different personal
results. The better the heredity,
tic more good environment mat
tiers. the better the heredity and

If, when heritage and circum-
stance are thus fortunate, the in

factor in building personality, at

one suppose that that factor dis

also operative when a deplorable

When one confrontS the eX-
perience of good fortune in bio
logical endowment and condi-
tioning circumstance, two pro-
positions emerge. First, good
heredity alone does not settle
everything, because the better
the heredity the more important
is a good environment. Second,
good heredity and good environ
ment together do not decisively
settle everything, because the
better the heritage and the more
fortunate the circumstances, the
more important, not the less, be-
comes the individuals conscious
personal response.
A priceless violin, made of the
best wood, needs the more TO be
cared for under good conditions;
and furthermore, such a violin,
so cared for, only makes more
important the playing Of it. To
be sure, no analogy can ade-
quately represent the reciprocal
intimacy of body and spirit, but
in some such way the better our
heredity, the more important is
our environment, and the better
our heredity and environment
together, the more important is
our personal response.
When this proposition is
translated into terms of biogra-
ply il rings true. Granted that
great personalities may have had
promising hereditary start,
and that one can discern the
powerful effect of environing
conditions on their development,
