BY ROGER GREENE
Associated Press War Editor


Axis troops by the tens of
thousands were apparently on
the verge of a BLACK Sea Dun
kerque" today and some reports
declared that Russian warships
and planes were already smash
ing at German transports as the
invaders attempted a sea-borne
escape FROM the Caucasus to the
Crimea peninsula.
Latest Soviet dispatches said
upwards of 100000 German
troops and their satellites, jam.
med into a narrow coastal strip
in the Western Caucasus, were
in imminent danger of being
split apart by Russian columns
driving toward the sea of Azov.
Soviet headquarters reported
that the Red armies were now
only 80 miles from the great
German base at Rostov, whose
fall would cut off the land "es-
cape corridor" of Hitler's Cau-
casian armies, after capturing
the town OF Kagalnitskaya on
the Salsk- Rostov railway.

Allies admitted loss of eight
planes over Tunisia, compared to
six Axis planes brought down.
On the Tunisian front, Allied
headquarters reported that Brit
ish troops had captured a hill

the bitterly-contested Point Du
Fahs sector IS miles below Tu-

BARUCH OPPOSES
WAR LABOR DRAFT
Advocates Work or Fight
Policy to Solve Absentee
ism, Wildcat Strikes
BY ARTHUR r. DEGREVE
UNITED Press STAFF Correspondent

Washington, March l. CUP -
Bernard M. Baruch, adviser To
presidents and one-tinle interna-
tional flnancier, clings today to his
belief of nearly quarter of a
century--that 1t would be impossible
mad dangerous to attempt to draft
labor for war work.
But he still Is convinced that
labor can be compelled to work or
fight.
The white-haired Baruch received
this correspondent IN his hotel
suite which he user as an office
when the weather precludes confer
ences in a nearby park. The inter-
view came as senate committee
prepared to begin hearings tomor-
row on the Austin Wadsworth labor
draft bill which would provide, with
some exceptions, for the drafting
Of all men between 10 and IS and
women between 10 and SO for war
work II they do not volunteer.
Baruch said his view on draft
labor" campaigns are the same as
those he expressed to Congress dur
ing World War I, when he headed
the war industries board, and in
q memorandum to joint congress
sional and cabinet commission on
organization for war, In 1881.
I'VE have heard a good deal Of
q slogan: Draft every dollar, every
thing, and every man." he said ~
years ago. "The attempt to draft la

Gus a soldier serves the nation
directly. There Is but one master In
the case and that master Is Amer
lea. Serves to profit no one but the
country as a whole. There is no dis
tinction between him and his COM
rades. He enters an immemorial
status. His entry Is not contractual
He is clothed, fed, housed and at
tended"
Baruch contended that as long as
the present industrial organization
continues, industry is in the hands
Of millions of private employers.
The employee, therefore, served in
private industry operating for gain.
Enforced and involuntary service
for a private master is and has
been, clearly and repeatedly defined
by our supreme court as slavery =. p"
While the government cannot say
to an employee work here, work
there" Baruch emphasized that 1t
can say work or fight" He noted
that this principle was barely in
voked In the first World War and
sis capable of immense expansion. ="
1.-THE work or fight method" he
declared, sis compaf with our
present institutio/ and far more
effective. thap/.ny chain-gang i'm
preston that could be invented"
He feels that strict application of
work or fight" policy would go
far toward solving the problem Of
absenteeism and unauthorized
strikes.
Baruch has OH Official status in
the government. but he Is credited
with exercising considerable in-
fiuence on war policies effecting the
home front. He is a close friend OF
