Different Problem,

Recently, to add to the troubles of
the labor leaders themselves as well
as the government, there was evil
dence of a different type Of problem
in scattered hot-spots in the labor
world-undisciplined groups which
one man described as made up Of
men who wouldn't even take orders
from Stain. "
Some 300 workers in zinc smelt-
er in Moundsville, w. Va, gave
notice that they weren't going to
work Saturday or Sunday without
overtime pay. This, in spite of the
fact that they worked only 36 hours
a week. The orders are clear that
double-time is only paid for sew
enth day of consecutive work. But
these men said "orders or no or
ders" they weren't going to work
Saturdays or Sundays without that
overtime. Zinc is one of the bottle
necks. The War Production board
was frantic.
These are only pin pricks and not
typical but they cause near-crlsis
every time they occur in industries
producing essential materials.

STOCKHOLM. - Loyal Norwegians
await only a signal from the royal gov
ernment in London to break into open
rebellion.
That outbreak linked with invasion OF
the continent or Norway, is expected to
see organized moves to cripple German
air and U-boat bases which could be
used to attack Allied troop conveys and
to blast railway lines and bridges to
hinder the movements of the 100000
German troops in Norway
Competent Norwegian sources see little
possibility OF a large-scale invasion OF
Norway this summer due to the extreme
" short periods of darkness, but Stock
holm observers expect extensive Com
mando raids on the scale of Dieppe,
timed with European ground offensive.
Resumption of even limited military
activity on Norwegian soil-previous
fighting ceased in June, 1940 two months
after the German invasion-would have
twofold purpose first, to launch an
active revolt not only of the underground
movement but of the 10000 conscripted
foreign workers in Norway, and second,
to force Sweden to discontinue permis-
sion for Germans to use Swedish rail-
ways to transport Nazi troops and sup
plies, which Sweden promises whenever
the military quiet Is broken in Norway.
The Norwegian underground continues
to operate despite Nazi efforts to crush
it through executions, labor mobilization
and rigid travel restrictions. The exc
cution of IS persons in the Trondheim
area in May brought the total to 168 since
April. 1910, most of whom were con-
neeted with the underground movement
which is composed of men and women
from all ranks and professions.

CAYENNE, French Guiana-This
capital Of Frances largest colony in the
Western Hemisphere, and one of her
most neglected, is still a dead city, but
has hopes of resurrection under the
change in administration which placed
Guiana under Gen. Giraud and brought
an American mission.
Streets are dirty, unpaved, deserted
Houses are dirty, unpainted. Food,
which almost vanished during the Vichy
era, is still scarce. and the people seem
slovenly, hungry and diseased. Aside
from the trinkets made by prisoners of
liberes of the rapidly dwindling prison
colony, industry does not exist.
Vultures perch on the houses and
stalk the streets. The cemetery Just
outside is much more crowded than the
town itself
Senegalese in faded uniforms parade
wearily in the humid air.
The municipal electric plant still
creaks along on the three engines

But sufficient food has been brought
in to give rationing tickets some reality,

market was always empty.

Total labor mobilization in Norway has
been muddle and a failure so far. The
Germans hoped to get 10000 persons,
mostly from Oslo and the southeastern
area, by April Is. They had fewer than
5000 for all of Norway by May Is.
An explosion and fire in the Oslo head
quarters on April 20 destroyed most of
the mobilization records. That occurred
after the Norwegians learned they would
be required to work on military projects
instead of on farms or in the forests as
was first supposed.
Three hundred thousand persons not
already working on Nazi projects or es-
sential industries registered and the Ger
mans hoped at first that they might get
100000 additional workers from the
group. BY May 7 only $500 persons had
actually been put to work
Because Of the lack of transport IA
cilities, the Germans packed them into
freight cars for the slow trip to far
northern areas. BY such shifting they
hoped to break up the underground.
They have also decreed the death pen

Despite all of these moves the Nor

passive resistance and have noticed re-
Gently that the Germans and the Quis-
lings have taken a more restrained atti-
tude in inf1icting punitive measures.
There have been fewer martial-law de-
crees than year ago.
Instead of accepting the policy as a
progressive step by Quisling, the Nor
wegians view it as further weakness
OF the occupation authorities. They have
seen the total labor mobilization as an
eleventh-hour move that indicated the
desperation, of Hitler's situation and as
pointing the way to quicker end OF
Norwegian oppression.

The average American soldier is no heel

Weaker officers do not last long. The
men know the good ones.
Question: Which enemy, the German
or the Jap, is regarded as the toughest
by the soldier?
Answer: Guessing, would say our peo-
pie respect the German for his thorough
training, and the Jap for his toughness
and willingness to die. have the feeling
that they hate the Jap more than the
German.
Question: Is the training tempo rising
and do the soldiers get sufficient battle
training before going into combat?
Answer: Yes, our training is pretty in
tensive. We were not satisfied before
Pearl Harbor, but our Army training is
now better and more objective. Our men
get vastly more training now than the
men had in the First World War. I be-
lieve they get enough. There are some
things, however, that men learn only in
battle. I wish the troops could 60 into
battle faster. Some National Guard units
now are in their third year of training.
Question: Is the latest information on
the enemy and on our campaigns under
battle conditions available for study by
the average soldier?
Answer: Yes. 1t is furnished by spe-
rooms, and in lectures in almost all units.
The publications. magazines and news
papers have been especially helpful.
They are doing fine job in informing
soldiers.
Question; Have our training manuals
been materially changed because of les
sons learned in battle in this war?
Answer: No. They have been modified
more in detail than in fundamentals. We
issue circulars to amend the manuals on
special developments which may help
the soldier In training.
Question:: Does the American soldier
have complete confidence in his weapons?
How do they compare with those of the
enemy?
Answer: Yes. He realizes they are
fine. The only possible exception is the
37-mm. anti-tank gun, when used at
too long range. However it is a good
gun and We will keep it. Our shoulder
arms and our machine guns are the best
in the world. If our fighting skill was
as good as our weapons it would be bad
for the enemy.
