Churchill's Invasion
 Views Pessirnistic
Continued from Page D

Mccormack of Massachusetts, who frequently is an administration spokesman, was on record today with criticism of Prime Minister Winston Churchill's failure to mem ton China in his speech last Sun. day,
 Mccormack, in one of hls infre. uuent formal statements, said that China "wlll occupy its place at the peace table and in tho councils oi the nations of the world not as Q rescued child but in Its rlghtful position in cooperation with tho United States, Great Britain and Russia, It would be serious mis- take for any other condition to ex- ist,"
 Churchill called for American, British and Russian representatives to begin conferences Rt once on formulation of poSt-war World Organization" His omission of China brought a sharp rcbuke from Madame Chiang Kai-Shek who de. parted from a prepared speech in Chicago Monday night to caution against "tantalixing the sorely tried and staunch people (of ChinW fighting against violence"
 Any Idea in the minds of any persons" Mccormack said, "that China will occupy the position of q rescued child had better be dissi- pated, The councils of any peace conference will never be complete unless the voice of China's General iSsimo Chiang Kai-Shek be on equal terms with the representatives of the United Nations"
 He also criticized the tendency to consider the defeat of Germany paramount to that of Japan, assert- ing that i've cannot permit that i'm. pression to exist"
 Absurd Claims Played
 London, March 25--(UP)--Prime Minister Winston Churchill told Commons today that the United Nations have afloat substantially larger fleets than they had at the worst moment in the U-boat war and this improvement Is contin- uing."
 Churchill had been asked by Rear Admiral Tuition P. H, Beamish whether he was aware of the recent German claim that U-boats sank more than 30 ships totaling 200, 900 tons from a recent convoy in the Atlantic.
 "All sorts of claims are made by the German radio," Churchill said. and they would very much like to know how far adrift they are from the truth, but nothing would induce me while I am responsible, to clarify the enemy knowledge on this matter"
 Beamish said there was consider able anxiety in Britain over the submarine question and asked if Churchill would consider giving the house more information on the matter.
 T think the public have good confidence in the government and also I think that iC would be un- desirable to add to the informa- tion which has been given. Churchill replied. T feel that very strongay.
 T see the enemy making all sorts of absurd claims and l would much prefer to leave him in his deluston than to go and give acurate infor- nation to enable him to find out what success. they have had with each attack and which submarine commanders are giving them the truth"
 Earl Wlnterton suggested that a secret session might be desirable.
 Churchill said that he could give the house more details of the sub- marine situation at a secret session, but would not like even then to give "exact facts"

twice 40 high for women as for
men and that one Of the prin-
cipal reasons Il lack Of child
care facilities.
President Murray told the Tru-
man Committee about four-year-
old Joan Travis, who was burned
to death in Providence, Rhode
Island, while her mother Carmela
was at work on the night shift in
the shipyard. He asked, "Will
legislation ease the minds Of such
mothers while they are at work
so as to dissuade them from stay
ing at home occasionally to make
adequate provisions for their chill
dren?" OF course not.
MILLIONS MORE NEEDED
That's why Catherine Gelles and
Dorothy Keene came to Washing
tonic tell all the federal agencies
concerned that child care Is an
urgent war manpower problem.
They came to protest the typical
government approach which be-
gins: "Of course, women with
children under il should not be
working" They came to point out
that millions Of mothers Of young
children are working and that
millions more will be needed to
win the war, and that the job that
must be done Is to enable those
women to be efficient production
workers by establishing child care
centers.
Above all. they came to demand
that all the federal agencies con-
cerned It the Office of Defense
Health and Welfare Services, the
Children's Bureau. the Office of
Education and the Federal Works
Agency-stop jurisdictional wrang-
ling and pool their energies and

Pressure On oPA

Under ordinary circumstances, the
landlords campaign would be
doomed to failure. But these are
not ordinary circumstances at the
OPA national Offices. The new
OPA regime seems particularly SEN
sitive to pressure from reactionary
business and Congressional circles.
It was learned this week thet the
landlords campaign has secured
the help Of Congressman Howard
Smith. Virginia Tory, who heads q
committee ito investigate acts Of
executive agencies beyond the scope
Of their authority"
Watch for hearings Of this COM
mittee at which testimony will be
introduced that the OPA has ex-
ceeded Its legal authority In estab--
fishing rent ceilings. When that
happens. labor all over the country
should serve notice on Price Ad-
ministrator Brown that they are
not going to stand for any nom
sense. and that It should not be
necessary for them to organize
marches from war plants upon
Washington to show the intimate
connection Of rent control to war
production.
