opl1er Bertrand Russell is fresh
out Of another job today-and he
says the only complaint his en-
ployer ever placed against him was
that his pretty young wife knitted
in his claSsrooms.

suit against the employer in Federal

The employer is millionaire DR..

tretlred. The man who interpreted
the message to Garcia in an aston
ishing way went down to the depths
of the sea with the torpedoing of the
Lusitania, May 7. 1915. He was Ell
bert Hubbard-Fra Elbertus of the
Roycrofters, the community minded
group Of East Aurora, N. Y.
The Roycrofters, of whom Fra
Elbertus was the organizer and
guiding genius, were looked upon
with suspicion, if not alarm, by their
country neighbors of forty-odd years
ago. They were advanced think
ers," socialists" of kind, an early
share -the-wealth group. But there
was this to be said about them:
The wealth they proposed to share
was the wealth they proposed to
produce-and did. They Jared very

farming, publications, leather goods
and other commercial ventures.
Was Good Reading.
The publications of the Roycroft-
ers used to come to our house. For
the most part, they were the printed
outpourings OF the fertile brain and
delightful pen of Fra Elbertus him
self; books, booklets Oittle journeys
and the periodical, the Philistine
They were entertaining reading,
even for youngster who was more
interested in baseball than in any
intellectual activities of that era,
and it is particularly remembered
that the printing was a Joy to be-
hold. The Roycrofters who turned
out those publications not only had
their minds on their work but their
hearts in it, too.
Millions of Copies Sold.
The recent death of Maj Rowan
caused Nation wide reprintings OF

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 18.-American
and British labor leaders will start
planning campaign here next week
aimed at having the peace treaty
which ends the Second World War
guarantee workers in all countries
the right to organize,
Labor representation at the peace
conference is the principal aim of
the Anglo American Labor Commit
tee, which will convene for the first
time while the Executive Council
of the American Federation of Labor
Is in session at Miami.
Sir Walter Citrine, secretary of
the British Trades Union Congress,
will lead the English delegation.
while William Green, president of
the AFL, is to head the United
States representatives.
Compromise Group Formed.
The international group was formed
last August as a compromise to a
proposed committee representing
trade unions of the United States,
Great Britain and Russia.
Unification of labor policies of
Great Britain and the United States
to further the war effort is an i'm
mediate goal and the committee will
look forward to the development,
once peace comes. of some world
wide social security program.
The committee will begin its ses-
sions next Monday.
Meanwhile the AFI, opening its
quarterly meeting today, will con-
slider another phase of its long
battle with the Congress of In

u. 5. Bombers Blast
5 Jap Merchant Ships
In RabauI Harbor
Allied Airmen Also Hit
Supply Dump of Loe
And Other Enemy Bases
sy the Associated Press.

MELBOURNE, Australia, Jan.
18.-United States bombers sank
or badly damaged five Japanese
merchant ships in the harbor Of
Rabaul, New Britain, during a
three-hour raid Saturday night
and Allied airmen blasted Japa-
nese footholdS over a wide area
in the Southwest Pacific over
the week end, an Allied commu-
nique said today.
Three waves of Flying Fortresses
attacked ships and harbor installa-
tionS at Rabaul, fighting their way
through heavy anti-aircraft fire to
get over the targets. The five ships
nit in the attack had total ton
mage of $4,000 tons, the communique
said.
Airdromes at Rabaul also were
bombed and fires were visible for
80 miles, 1t was said. All the For
tresses returned safely to their base.
The Japanese retaliated yester-
day with an attack by "a medium
bombers and 20 Zero fighters on the
Allied base at Milne Bay In New
Guinea, but the communique re-
ported that damage was mot i'm
portant" and there were no cas-
ualties. 1t was the heaviest raid
the japanese have made on the
Northern Papuan coast in months.
The Zermos avoided combat with
Allied fighters.
Supply Dumps at Lac Hit.
Allied bombers again hit Japanese
supply dumps at Lac, New Guinea,
and the docks at Madang and Fin
schhafen and the airdrome at Mala-
bang also were attacked. An enemy
transport was bombed near Ad-
miralty Island, but the results we're
not observed.
On the ground Allied forces cut
the main road in the japanese rear
at Sanananda yesterday, the COM
munique said, and 100 Japanese
dead were counted.
Gen. Sir Thomas Blamey, Aus
tralian commander of Allied ground
troops under Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, told the Australians in
broadcast last night that Japans
forces in Papau have been "prac-
tically exterminated" as well as de-
feated.
Don't for one moment think that
we are out of the woods with the
Japanese" he warned, however.
His self-belief is colossal and his
resources are great. Because we
have driven him from the point
of immediate menace, don't imagine
that all the menace is past by any
means"
| Allied Losses Thousands Less.
The total Allied battle losses In
the campaign now nearing its end
at Sanananda "are many thousands
less than the enemy lost in land
fighting alone" Gen. Blamey said.
Allied land forces" he said, dealt
thoroughly with the enemy. The
enemy's losses at sea in personnel
alone exceeded the Allied battle
losses and a sharp blow was struck
at his (Japanese) shipping"
(Gen. MacArthurs headquar-
ters recently estimated that the
Japanese forces in Pspua totaled
$4,000 men)
Gen. Blamey praised the Aus.
tralian and American troops, who,
he said, have shown this proud
Asiatic he is an inferior creature
to the product of Western civiliza-
tion. They outmarched and out
fight him."
He said Australia "owes much to
Gen. Macarthur for his magnificent
understanding of us. She owes
much to American forces far from
home who have come to help us"

Army Officer Says Workmanship Course
Will Be of Great Value to Men Fucino Draft

Col. Endicott's letter indorsing the
program follows;
Il heartily indorse the program of
the National Rife Association and
The Evening Star Offering pre-
induction craftsmanship instruction
to the men of Washington. This
training course. and the national
program of which it Is a part, will
be of inestimable value to the stu
dent and to the Army as we'll, and
will 60 long way toward making
Americas fighting forces the finest
marksmen in the world
Training in rife craftsmanship
is of more Importance in this war
than ever. First, because every
unit in the field is a combat unit,
whether it be infantry artillery,
quartermaster or motor mainte-
nance. 1t is subject to sudden and
unexpected attack by parachute
troops or rowing mechanical forces.
Thus. to be prepared for such even
tuality, each man must be trained
in the use of his individual weapon
rifle, carbine or submachine gun.
Develops Adaptability.
Second, because the basic marks
manship fundamentals which apply
to the rife apply as we'll to any
other gun, large or small. Men who
are properly grounded in this use of
the rife adapt themselves more
quickly when in the service to any
gun assigned them.
The instruction methods to be
followed in this course are based on
sound principles and doctrine, are
identical to those followed at the
Small Arms Firing School held in
conjunction with the national
matches at Camp Perry, and closely
parallel craftsmanship instruction
courses in all branches of service.
All men anticipating military service
should regard it an obligation to
take advantage of this school"
Evening star., 1943-01-18

Col f. c. Endicott, director of
civilian craftsmanship of the War
Department, today declared that the
rife craftsmanship course to be
offered Washington men by the Ma
tional Rife Association, with the CO.
operation of the War Department
and The Star, would go a long
way toward making Americas fight
ing forces the finest marksmen in
the world"
His Endorsement of the course to
be made available to all male per-
sons Is years or Older in four Dis
trict high schools and George WASH
ington University early next month

response to the opening announce
ment in yesterdays Star.
The course. part of national
program to train men of induction
age, will be of 'inestimable value
to the student and to the Army as
we'll" Col. Endicott said.
Training in rife craftsmanship
is of more Importance in this war
than ever before, he added, be
cause every unit in the field is a
combat unit. whether it be infantry,
artillery. quartermsster or motor

Experts to Be Instructors.
Every unit, he said, is subject
to sudden and unexpected attack
by parachute troops or rowing mech
anized forces. Thus to be prepared
for such eventuality such men must
be trained in the use of his in
dividual weapon-rifie, carbine or
submachine gun"
While the classes will be open to
all male persons Is years or older.
officials stress they will give priority
to men of induction age, 18 to 80
years. Courses of seven weeks dura-
ton will begin February !. 1t is

Expert rifemen from local NRA
clubs will serve as instructors. AM
munition for the purpose has been
released by the War Production
Board.
Men will use the standard military
.22-caliber rifles and minimum of

Exhibit Here Shows
Developments in
Wartime Equipment

A model OF a 40-millimeter anti
aircraft gun now on display in the
combined conservation exhibition of
the United States and Canada at
the Social Security Building repre-
sents one item in whose conStruc-
tion the war has wrought more than
l 200 changes.
Many other items of equipment,
both for war and civilian use, are
displayed in before and after tech
nique. They are concrete evidence
of the theory, necessity is the
mother Of invention"
The exhibit, which will be open
until December 7. is report of the
developments made in conserving
materials and manpower by simpli-
flcation. substitution and mechani-
cal ingenuity. The Army, Navy,
Maritime Commission and WPB, and
the Conservation Committee of the
Canadian Department of Munitions
and Supply have contributed to the
display.
Many Of the Substitutions brought
on by war have proved superior to
the materials they replaced. and will
be continued and developed in the
postwar period. One of these, in
the antiaircraft gun. is the substi-
tuition of die castings and stampings
for machined parts.
Die casting eliminates the need
for cutting out parts by machine
and thereby saves material and
manpower. Small parts made of
metals which melt at temperatures
too high for die casting and whose
shapes are too intricate for produc-
ton by powder metallurgy are being
produced by precision casting
Precision casting has been used
for long time in the manufacture
Iof jewelry, surgical instruments and
dental forms. Now, spurred on by
war needs. the process is being ex-
tended into the industrial field
The development of precision
casting promises to be of invaluable
aid in fabricating parts from critical
materials where waste must be
mlnimized, from expensive, high
melting alloys and from materials
hard to machine or forge. 1t in
wolves the use of wax model about
which a ceramic mold is formed.
The desired metal is cast after the
wax is melted out.
Among the other outstanding
changes evolved by war are the low
ering of the alloy content in the
gun barrel and breech, and welded
assemblies to replace forgings.

Policy Of SeIf-Ru|e
In Liberated Europe
ReaffirIned by Ber|e
By the Associated Press.

oy INC ASSoSiatcu EscsS.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 23.-
Assistant Secretary of State Adolf
A. Berle today reaffirmed the United
States policy of keeping hands oil
the re-establishment of governments
in liberated Europe.
In speech before the Knoxville
Rotary Club, Mr. Berle declared this
Government intends to leave the
choice of new governments to the
peoples whose voices are now 81
fenced by the Nazis and he empha-
sized that the final decisions will
be made by the people and not the
exiled representatives of the prewar
states.
Representatives of practically
every European party and from
practically every European country
are present in the United States, -
he said being exiled, each
of these claims to speak not for his
party, but for his country for a
purely party claim would have little
appeal to the public opinion of the
United States.
when opportunity arises, these
claims to represent other countries
can be deferred to the people of
that country, who are and must be
the final judges. This does not
satisfy some claimants =" Mr.
Berle observed, adding that "the
United States Government has con-
sistently taken the view that it had
no right to make such decisions"
Indicating belief that Premier
Stain shares this view, Mr.. Berle
cited a passage from his speech at
the close of the Moscow conference
in which the Premier said: The
liberated countries of Europe must
receive full right and freedom to
decide for themselves their form
of states"
Mr.. Berle reiterated as the two
guiding principles of American for
eign policy: First, independence
safety and well-being of the United
States, and second, organization of
the world for the maintenance of
peace and opportunity for steadily
increasing well-being Of peoples.
