were cutting q wide swath after

The sweep west and southwest of
Orel was so swift today that 100

Nazis Face Identical Problem.
German forces which retreated
from Orel two days ago to escape
the jaws OF a Red Army trap now
face an identical problem at
Kharkov and may will be forced to
make another withdrawal.
Triumphant Soviet forces still are
striking violently at the seemingly
demoralized Nazis and their pur-
suing movements have been facili-
tated by the occupation of an entire
network of railroads from Moscow
through Orel, Kursk and Belgorod.

Col. Straughn didn't get call

Murray Tells President
BiddIe's Antistrike
Ruling Means Chaos
BY tn. AssociateaPr.s.

BY the Associatea Press
CIO President Philip Murray yes
terday asked that President Roose-
welt instruct Attorney General Biddle
to reconsiderfa decision that any
group Of employees, however small,
may obtain a strike ballot in plant.
In a lettersto the President, Mr..
Murray declared that the result of
the Attorney aGenerals decision lis
sheer chaos demonstrated "a COM
piete sense OF responsibility" and
could not possibly reflect the intent
Of Congress" when 1t passed the
Antistrike Act.
This law directs that the National
Labor Relations Board take strike
vote within 80, days after q labor
dispute, which may lead to a strike,
arises in war plant.
The Attorney Generals decision
was in connection with the case OF
two Springfield 1llO plants of The
Allis- Chalmers Manufacturing Co.,
where last Wednesday a majority
Of employees voted for a strike. The
notice Of labor dispute and call
for strike ballot was filed by Dis
trict so of John L. Lewis United
Mine Workers, rival Of the CIO
United Farm Equipment and Metal
Workers of America. The CIO group
was certified by the NLRB in June
Of last year as collective bargain
ing agency for employees of the
plants.
The NLRB had asked Mr.. Bidole
whether 1t should conduct a strike
ballot on notice from minority
group"
Previously, the NLRB had re-
iected a petition from District so
for collective bargaining election
to determine whether 1t should re-
place the CIO union as the en-
ployes' representative. District so
contended the result of the strike
ballot showed 1t was supported by
a majority of employees. 1t has
asked the NLRB to reconsider it's
request for a bargaining election
and. meantime, has held up action
on the question of actually calling
strike.
Mr.. Biddle said in his opinion
that Mr.. Roosevelt and admin
istration officials had warned Con-
gress OF the possible disturbing
effects Of taking strike ballots in
plants where labor relations have
been stabilized by collective bar
gaining agreements" Neverthe-
less, the legislators enacted the leg
islation, he continued, and its pur-
pose might be defeated if only rep
resentatives Of majority of the
employees could call for a strike
ballot.
Mr.. Murray told Mr.. Roosevelt
that this ugly opinion" encour-
aged stoppages of work.
L respectfully submit" he said
that the seriousness Of the situa-
ton warrants the resubmission of
the entire matter"
