Washington, D. C. (ILNS) The
Women's Advisory Committee of the
War M Manpow Commission has
called upon women's clubs through
out the country to mobilize their
members for active service on the
nations farms this summer, and to

need but for one foreseen in the sum-
mer. 1t is not expected that women
can be given immediate agricultural
employment on farms and in food
processing establishments in all sec
tions of the country at this time.

OPERATORS WIN AS
COURT KNOCKS OUT
SCHEME FOR
EVADINC MIR ACT

Chicago (ILNS).- u. S. Cir
cult Court of Appeals, in unanimous
decision handed down by Judge j.
Earl Major, put stop to scheme
for evading the National Labor Rela-
tions Act when it upheld National
Labor Relations Board decision or
dering Butler Bros, wholesalers here,
and Alex Wasleff, doing business as
the Wasleff Building Maintenance Co.,
to reinstate, with back pay, members
of Elevator Operators & Starters
Union, Local No. sc (AFL), who had
been discharged for union activity
Following organization of theil
employees by Local 66, Butler Bros,
entered into a contract with Wasleff
for maintenance of their buildings.
He subsequently discharged members
of the union.
Labor Board Upheld
Wasleff, the firm contended, be-
came the employer of the maintenance
workers when the contract was
signed. The union took the case to the
labor board.
Holding that Butler Bros, was in
interstate commerce and Therefore
came under the provisions of the la
Dor act, the NLRB, in a decision di-
rected at both Butler Bros, and Was
left, set forth that ''in actual practice
under the contract, Butler continued
to direct much of the work of the
maintenance employees, to exercise a
controlling voice in decisions as to
their hire and tenure of employment,
and to formulate labor relations pol
icy" 1t ordered reinstatement of the
employees with back pay.
The company filed a petition with
the court, asking it to set aside the
NLRB order. Upholding the labor
board, the court pointed out that sit
is the theory of the board that the
contract was device by which" But
Ter Bros, sought to escape response
bility" under the labor act. The court
said that certainly there is proof"
that Butler Bros, "was desirous OF
excluding a union from building B."
(Butler Bros, warehouses are known
as buildings A and b.
Men Transferred, Then Fired
GAS already pointed out, there is
evidence in support of the boards
finding that this was at least a con-
tributing motive to the making of the
contract with Wasleff," the NLRB
added. "There is proof from which it
may be reasonably inferred that the
latter willingly and perhaps actively
cooperated in such a plan. All such
employees, members of the union,
mostly long time employees of the pc
titioner in building B, were trans
ferred from that building to positions
in other buildings serviced by Was
left, and shortly thereafter discharged
by him."
Using this plan, Wasleff, in con-
junction with Butler Bros, and
other anti-union employers, had at
tempted to block union organization
of maintenance workers here. New
York City unions have experienced
the same difficulty.

Pvt. Jerry Dougherty of Lin

TO attack strangers who set foot

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9-The
annihilation of Europeans and
Americans is Japan's openly
stated war aim.
That was revealed today by the
Office of War Information in a
summary of the public statements
of Prof. T. Komaki of Kyoto Uni
Versity.
Komaki is the author of Japan's
blueprint for world conquest, the
latest Japanese geopolitical
theory. 1t is a theory which he
has outlined over Radio Station
JVW3, Toxic.
AN ASIATIC WORLD
The world, Komaki proclaimed,
Is to be made an Asiatic world.
He said:
"There are no seven seas;
only one sea exists, and IL is
connected TO japan, where the
sun rises. All the ocean IN To
he recognized as the great Jap
anese sea"
And all the continents that sea
touches are 10 be peopled only
with Asiatics, Komaki declared,
saying:
There Is spitefulness In the
Europeans and Americans.
This, too, Is reason Eu-
ropeans and Americans should
be annihllated."
A WORLD OF SLAVES
When that is done, when the
white race has been wiped out 4.
Komaki said, a benign peace will
pervade a world Of slaves under a
Japanese ruler.

Allied Strategy
Crush Japan
Near Completion

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 '(UP)-
Allied strategy to crush Japan
boiled down today TO a three
point plan Of action, two points
of which already are approaching
fulfillment.
Recent official utterances, IN
cluding a statement by a member
of the Allied high command,
clearly exposed this plan as fol-
lows:
Ito seize japanese held
Il bases in the Pacific until a
ring of steel has been forged
closer TO the most strategic
centers Of the enemy empire
and then to strike at the very
heart of Japan.
C-To carry on an accelerating
- war of attrition on enemy
lines Of communication until
Japan will find IL too costly, if
not impossible, to hold on TO the
more distant territories she has
stolen.
O-To keep China in the war
- by diverting japanese
strength until sufficient ma
terrell and other military sup
plies can be placed in her hands
TO implement her vast man.
power resources.
DON'T COUNT ON RUSSIA
The strategy planners ap-
parently do not contemplate Rus
sian assistance in the Pacific,
either directly by military action
against Japan or indirectly by
permitting Allied access TO ST.
berian bases.
AS for the campaign against
Japanese communications, it has
been eminently successful 10 date
but a greater effort will be ex-
erted. The submarine fleet, which
has played a major role together
with airmen in whiting down
japanese sea power, is being
steadily reinforced by new con-
struction.
Compilation Of japanese ship
losses shows that 574 vessels Of all
types have been sunk. OF this
376 were noncombatant
ships, Of vital importance to the
enemy in the maintenance Of sup
ply lines.
Furthermore, officials here are
the Japanese have been
unable TO replace these losses.
This view appears borne out by
use of Japanese war
ships for supply and reinforce
ment.
SHORT ON AID TO CHINA
The Allies still are far short of
their aims in helping China. Ad-
miral King regards China as the
key TO victory over japan.
Tt is China's geographical po-
sition and China's manpower
that are the determining factors
in the war against Japan" he
said.
Considerable progress has been
made in the acquisition Of advance
bases, but there are still some
gaps. For example, only a por-
tion Of New Guinea is in Allied
hands.
Kiska. in the Aleutians, Is still
held by the japanese and, although
its strategic Importance has been

ade, it requires the freezing" of

Action 10 plug the holes is prob
ably not far off. Allied strength
in the Pacific is now greater than
ever and a series of co-ordinated
blows against the japanese has
been anticipated here in recent
weeks.
