Workers WISH
Air Force
Overseas

WASHINGTON-(FP) - -Four
American workers on tour Of
British war industries stopped off
at U. S. Eighth Air Force head
quarters somewhere in England
for a look at the planes and
weapons they turn out back home
in action.
The four workers are Joseph
Smith, Chrysler Corp, Detroit, a
member of the United Auto
Workers (CIO); Stanley Ceizyk,
Lockheed Aircraft, Burbank,
Calf, Init. Assn. of Machinists
(AFL); Otto o. Butler, Monsan-
to Chemical Co., E. st. Louis, Ill,
Chemical Workers Union (AFL) !;
and Hugh T. Mahoney, Bethlehem
Steel Cor, Bethlehem, Pa, United
Steelworkers (CIO). Four British
workers selected from the same
industries will return to the U. s.
with the Americans for a similar
tour.
Ceizyk, Polish-born manufactur-
ing engineer in the experimental
division at Lockheed beamed as
Brig.-Gen. Robert P. Williams,
commander of an Eighth Air
Force bomber division, told him:
"When our men see these Lock-
heed Lightnings coming, they
throw their hats into the air and
cheer the German pilots call
these planes of the Fork-Tailed
Devils"
Shown serial photographs of
damage done to targets at
Schweinfurt, Reeensburg, Ham
burg and other German industrial
cities, Smith said these photo
graphs prove "that our bombar-
diehs are aiming at the factories
and not the people of Europe" He
added: From the pictures I've
seen l doubt if Germany can re
tool Schweinfurt's destruction
during this war"

House Passes
Compromise
Fofher Drdff

WASHINGTON, Nov. % (FP)
The house by unanimous voice
vote passed and sent to the senate
S 763, which as rewritten in con-
y ference provides that pre-war
, fathers be drafted only after all
non-fathers who were not deferred
have been drafted.
The bill is closer to the original
Kilday bill (HR1730) postponing
the draft of fathers, which passed
the house, than the senate substi-
tute. 1t directs pooling of married
non-fathers and single men on a
nationwide and statewide basis
and would slow up the draft of
fathers.
1t is not enough for the defeat

dignant because the provision
which required proof of a mans
indispensability in order to be de-
ferred industrially was stricken
out.

Girls Give
Wheel Chair

-Four girls from the export
shipping department OF Spicer
Manufacturing Co., none of
whom ever belonged to the
girl scouts, did a good deed
on November 10, when they pre-
sented the Crippled Children's
Home with a new wheel chair for
the use of the of the children VINO
are recovering there from infantile
paralysis.
The idea of giving the wheel
chair was not planned in advance,
but grew out of a desire of the
four to have a Halloween party.
When they decided that they would
have party, they discovered that
none of their homes was large
enough to accommodate the crowd
they wanted to invite. They de-
cided that as long as. they were
going to have a party, they would
put it to good use and try and

Mass.) Murray said the nation
looked to him to assure "the full
est and most effective support for
the President on the subsidy
battle. "The issue in this subsidy
fight is whether we shall keep
prices within the reach of the men
and women and children of Amer
lea or permit food to be taken off
the tables of the American public
for the personal profit of special
interests" he said.
House leaders also received let
ters from the CIO Women's Aux
iliary declaring that passage of
the subsidy ban would be "robbing
war workers and their children Of
the food they need to maintain
their health" and would be "an
especially devastating blow at the
wives of servicemen. Martin was
told that Republican support of
the measure would be taken as
refusal of your party to protect
the barest living needs of the
worke"~

the war effort and told of the

both agreed must be readjusted to

1t was apparent during the day
that spirited political contest was

came particularly acute after the
news circulated throughout the
