transatlantic Flights
Al $500 Per Person
Envisioned in Report

Transatlantic flights carrying 40
to so passengers at a cost Of about
5000 each one way were envisioned
today by the Foreign Policy Associa-
tion in report prepared by Howard
P. Whidden, jr., OF the associations
research staff. T.
When peace comes the United
States is likely to find itself far in
advance of the world in production
of long-range air carriers and in ex-
perience Of the military and naval
transport crews, the report observed
After the war, the expansion of
international air transport will be
at even faster rate than in the 1930s,
according 10 the association.
Coupled with these observations
was the belief of the association that
world geography may cause this
country to advocate at least a modi-
fed form Of freedom of international
fight after the war.
The proximity OF Canada and
Russia, for instance, to the polar
great circle" route. and, as another
example. British possessions scat
tered over the world. put this Nation
at a geographical disadvantage, Mr..
Whidden pointed out.
International airlines will expand
he says, "only - If expansion does
not become the subject of interna-
tional Wrangling"
If nationalism should reign su-
preme air transport could be-
come merely weapon for the strong
and scourge for the weak"

La Toilette 10 Press
For Laws 10 Prevent
Labor Oppression
BY the Associated Press.


Senator La Toilette, Progressive,
of Wisconsin declared today he
would continue to press for legisla-
ton to outlaw what he termed
Oppressive labor practices" and
organized conspirational interfer-
ence with the right of collective
bargaining
His statement was made as he
submitted to the Senate subcom-
mittee report on the organization
of resistance to collective bargain
ing in California, l935-1939."
The California case history" he
said. stands as demonstrable proof
of the necessity for striking down
by national act not only oppressive
labor practices, but their organized
and conspiratorial illumination.
AT a time when labor is being
urged or compelled by public pres
sure to give up its right to strike,
when its wages are frozen by direc-
tive, when the living standards of
the families represented are seri-
ously threatened by increased living
costs, when it is tied to its job by
Government order, when it Is sub
ject to continued vilif1cation and
abuse by those who knowingly or
unknowingly would destroy our
precious unity, labor needs an as
surance of its place in the indus
trialized society of the future"
The subcommittee is composed of
Senators La Toilette, Thomas. Dem
ocrat, of Utah, and Walsh. Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts,, although
the report emphasized that Senator
Walsh, owing to pressure of other
business, had not had an active
part in the preparation of the an
alysis.
Now that we are for the time
being in an era Of comparative in
dustrial peace due to the single
minded devotion of the vast ma
jority of employers and employees 10
the job of winning the war, we
should not forget these manifesto
tions of evil that will surely poison
the stream of industrial labor re-
lations and thwart the rights Of
labor in normal peacetime rela-
tionships," Senator La Toilette said.
The present emergency is the
occasion used by antilabor groups
to deprive labor of its right.
I say that unless we, in the Congress
have the intestinal fortitude in this
time of peril and crisis to defend
and promote the institutions and
doctrines that symbolic our de-
mocracy, we will be guilty OF losing
the war on the home 'front.'

Thomas and La Toilette would pro-
scribe as criminal offenses. labor

ing, the use Of industrial munitions.
abuses of private police systems,
antiunion vigilantism, blacklisting,

as Congress strove to clear it's

After bombing Dutch Harbor, u.
S. naval and military base in the
AleutianS, 796 miles east OF Attu, on
June 3. 1912, the japanese invaded
Attu, nearby Agattu and Kiska.
But what started out confidently
as an offensive to take Dutch Har-
Dor and establish footholds on the
North American mainland turned
into a hopeless effort to hang on to
three desolate, soggy, utterly for
saken islands constantly afflicted by
wind, rain, snow and fog.
The japanese eventually gave up
Agattu to the weather and sought
TO entrench themselves on Kiska
and Attu. But Kiska, most favor

Islands last September, bringing

closer to Kiska.
8. Occupying Amchitka Island last
Jan. IL.
Since March !, American heavy,
medium and light bombers have at
tackled the Japanese on Kiska 1913
times, dropping more than 100000
pounds Of bombs.
In one strafing attack alone, they
killed an estimated GOO enemy troops.
Since the Aleutian campaign start
ed, American flyers ard naval craft
have sunk Is enemy ships, probably
sunk six, and damaged SO for a
total Of 81. They have destroyed
more than 10 enemy planes.
The Nays 36-word communique
yesterday disclosed only that troops
had landed on Attu on Tuesday and
three days later, still were fighting
for possession OF the island.
Knox announced that the opera
lions were going very satisfac-
torily." He added that "the Navy
supplied the ships; the attacking
forces are Army men"
Knox said the Navy would reveal
no more information until the occu-
patton Is completed successfully. He
agreed that the attack was Of great
strategic Importance.
Eight days ago, when the Navy
announced American occupation Of
Amchitka, 223 nautical miles east
Of Attu, Knox said that operation
was part Of an aggressive offensive
war; in the Pacific. Seizure Of Attu,
he said yesterday would be another
part Of the same broad plan.
The Americans sealed the ulti-
mate fate Of Kiska and Attu at
Amchitka. BY Feb. Is they had COM
pleted an airfleld there which neu-
tralized Kiska's fighter plane base.
Caught between Amchitka and Attu,
Kiska Is doomed.
The japanese, apparently striving
to forestall. the Americans, had
started TO build a bomber landing
strip on Attu. 1t now appears that
American rather than Japanese
bombers will use 1t.
In that respect, the attack on Attu
was similar TO the marine assault on
Guadalcanal in the Solomons last
Aug. 7. The enemy had started an
air base on Guadalcanal, too. But
the Americans captured and now
are using II.
Unlike Guadalcanal, however,
bleak and barren Attu offers no Gov
er for japanese seeking 10 escape
American fire power. On Attu,
enemy troops fleeing to the interior
are counting quick death from ex-
posure and starvation.
