TO THE EDITOR:
CONGRESS did not legislate
~ collective patriotism - but
bargaining rights only for
labor.
Which Is one of the reasons
that Captain Rickenbacker S
words fell upon barren ground.
In spite of the war, the devil,
or the deep blue sea-an esprit
de corps between industry and
labor is an extremely remote
possibility-due 10 the fact that
there are too many overtime
sinners in both camps.
I believe that the whole dis
turbance is a throw-back TO the
laissez faire policy of the
Hoover administration - which
resulted in a fermentation OF re-
sentiment against government
industry and the world at large.
Upon the acquisition OF bar
gaining rights, this same resent
ment, carried forward, took on
the form OF retaliation. An APP
peal 10 the better nature OF
labor is a wasted effort--if that
better nature is too deeply SUBJ
merged - and the conduct of
both government and industry
toward labor at present and in
the future will decide our des-
tiny. The status quo is now an
obsolete term.

Los Angeles Alert
Marked by Disregard
For Safety Rules
Troffio Flows On, People
Rush to Rooftops;
Planes Are Friendly
Bv h' Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES. March II
Los Angeles and its suburbs have
experienced their first daylight
air raid alert Of the war. and
most Of the populace seemed dis
turbed only by the lack of excite
ment.
When the all-clear sounded al
2.07 pm Yesterday. II minutes after
the sirens started screeching. Mayor
Fletcher BoUron and many citizens
were distinctly disappointed-for
different reasons.
Said the Mav0r:
We would face real disaster in
/ Los Angeles if this disregard of our
AFRAID precautions were repeated
IN time of real danger"
Said one of the thwarted sky ga7-
erS who technically should have been
in an air-raid shelter:
"ShuCks! I wish we could have
seen some aCtion!"
Thousands Rush TO Rooftnp~.
In Government buildings and some
downtown stores AFRAID procedure
was followed effectively. But else
where:
Thousands rushed to sidewalks
and rooftops to watch American de-
fense planes prowl the upper reaches
for the target, later identified as
friendly. Traffic generally rolled on
In some cases where auxiliary police
halted autos they reported regular
police ordered traffic to proceed.
Traction company dispatchers said
they Immediately directed trolleys
to stop, only to have police order
them started again. When StreetcarS
finally were halted second time as
many as 90 lined up at single
doUtOUn corner.
SvitChboards were iammed with
inouring calls. Few automobiles
pulled to the curb, and few pedes-
trians sought the many shelters
prepared since Pairl Harbor.
Film Studios Best Observers.
A survey showed motion picture
studios were among the best observ-
ers of the rules. At one, Actor Paul
Lukas. garbed as a NaN commits
sioner. left the set and donned an
arm band to help the wardens.
Actors cOstumed as soldiers at
another studio took up realistic roles
as shelter guards.
Most shipyards ceased work. But
aircraft plants quickly deployed
their precautionary forces. and
work continued.
1t was disclosed after the alert
that Los Angeles has no ordinance
compelling the public to get off the
streets in a daylight alarm
The alert's yellow signal flashed
at 20 pm, the blue at l.34 and
the red at l as.
