1850 Marine Seamer
Killed or Missing
Cupt. MoeouIoy Says
Losses Exceed Army's
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 22.-Captain
Edward Macauley, N. S. N. retired,
deputy War Shipping Administra-
tor, said here tonight that 45OO
merchant marine seamen had been
killed or were missing in enemy
action, and that the figure, repre-
senting about six per cent of those
engaged, was larger "proportionately
than the combined losses of our
armed forces"
The casualties were evident that
the fleets protective technique must
be improved, he said in an address
prepared for delivery at the Port of
New York Propeller Clubs national
maritime day dinner.
Macauley branded as false state
ments that there was a bottleneck
In shipping and that supplies were
held up because seamen refuse to
unload the cargo. Seamen, he added,
are not expected to unload ship
unless other labor is unavailable.
But when emergencies have oc-
Cured, such as at Guadalcanal, he
declared, "the men do unload the
cargo"
Speaking earlier at Maritime
Day ceremonies at the United
States Maritime Service Training
Station, Capt. Macauley said that
an American merchant ship deliv-
cred her war cargo to Russia de-
spite 1872 bombings in eight days
from Nazi planes en- route, and
survived 276 more as she lay in
her slip at Archangel.
OF the 300 ships in the North
African expeditionary landing, 500
were merchant ships. he said, and
"a good share of the credit for
that dramatic and daring venture
belongs to the American merchant
seamen on American ships who
took part in it."
At the ceremonies he presented
Merchant Marine Distinguished
Service Medals to two seamen for
"heroism above and beyond the
call of duty when their ship, en-
route to Malta in convoy, was at
tackled by enemy planes and tor
pedoes.

war German interests would not be
Immediately affected-Japan would
be the loser in that case because
of the concentration of Allied naval
power in the Far East which would
follow. 1t does not make much
difference to the possessor of three
battleships whether his enemy op-
poses him with 10 or with 20.
There remains for consideration
the Italian Army, and this is a
serious problem for the Germans.
The Italians probably still have 10 to
IS divisions, of which a few are in
Russia and a few in the south of
France, but the bulk are divided
between Italy and the Balkans.
In the Balkans. italian troops gar
rison Yugoslavia and Greece and
furnish a large part of the gar
risonS of the Aegean Islands, Rhodes
and possibly Crete. They number
20 to 80 divisions, far outnumbering
the Germans in these areas. If
Germany should wholly abandon
Italy, and Italy should be overrun
by Allied forces, or should drop out
of the war altogether, these Italian
troops in the Balkans and the is
lands would be of very doubtful
value to Germany.
They might go over to the local
elements of resistance, or they might
quit at the first attack, or they
might just sdisintegrate, with their
weapons falling into the hands of
Yugoslav and Greek free troops.
The Germans would have to re-
place them Immediately with Ger
man troops. and We may feel very
sure that the German high COM
mand, about to launch a door die
offensive against Russia and with
an Anglo-American invasion immi-
nent, has not the least desire to be
suddenly called on to find 2O-odd
divisions for garrison duty in the
Balkans or in the alternative to
face the prospect of Allied sarmies
on the Danube and the loss of the
Rumanian oil fields
For certainty, if the italian troops
in the Balkans were out of the pic
ture, and were not replaced by
Germans, the green light for an
Allied invasion of the Balkans
would shine very brightly. It would
shine brightly for the Turks, too,
who could not afford to miss such
an opportunity.
1t would shine brightly for the
pro-Russian elements in Bulgaria,
who would never have better
chance to rescue their country from
the consequences of having backed
the wrong horse. It would shine
brightly for the anti-German ele-
ments in Rumania, who are grow
ing in strength and whose restraint
would require additional German
commitments.

Allied attack while its defense con-
tributes little if anything to the de-
tense of Germany itself.
There might be a minor strate-
gical value to Germany in defending
Sicily and Sardinia-which could not
be done unless the Italian peninsula
were held-but this would lie only
in the amount of interference with
our Mediterranean shipping which
the retention of Sicily and Sardinia
by the Axis might make possible.
This interference could be only
partial, because of the Ineffective
ness of the Italian air force and the
Italian Navy; it would be a constant
drain on German resources; and it
is probable that German air and sub
marine power would be far more
effectively employed in other the
aters.
The question which is now to be
decided in Berlin-on the wholly
cold-blooded basis of German self
interests therefore whether the
strategical liability of defending
Italy is balanced by the assets which
Italy can still bring to the total Axis
war effort.
Basis for Decision.
From the economic viewpoint,
Italy furnishes Germany with a Ger
tain amount of lead, zinc and
sulphur, but requires great amounts
of coal and OIL Germany would
probably gain. in net balance if Italy
were out of the war. The decision
will, therefore, probably be made on
the basis of whether Italy can make
any military contribution to the war
effort, which offsets the expense of
defending her.
The italian air force is dwindling
in size 1t might still fight we'll in
defense of Italy, but the heavy
losses it is now suffering-parti-
cularly in aircraft destroyed on the
ground-do not suggest that it is
trying very hard, and its strength
seems likely to 60 down very rapidly.
The italian Navy still has num-
ber of powerful ships, but even if it
were completely eliminated from the

Thomas Will Appeal
For Strikers Return
To oChry5|er Plants
JAW President and Othe
Officials to Speak at
Mass Meetings Today
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, May 22.-Faced with a
ck-to-work" response by striking
unionists which a Chrysler Corp.
spokesman estimated at little more
than 1000 out of $4,000 on day shifts,
R. J. Thomas, international presi-
dent of the United Automobile
Workers (CIO), tonight planned
personal appeals to the workers.
The strikes which started Thurs
day spread to involve nearly 24,000
war workers in six Chrysler plants
and for lack of parts the assembly
line at the big Chrysler tank arsenal
closed today.
Despite a regional War Labor
Board directive for immediate re-
sumption of work." working forces
in the struck plants today were re-
ported far below normal. The best
showing, the corporation reported,
was at the De Soto bomber plant,
where a spokesman said nearly half
the normal personnel reported.
Thomas Plans Inquiry.
Mr.. Thomas, reporting he planned
a speedy inquiry to learn who started
the strikes, said he would address
two mass meetings Of workers during
the week end and would broadcast
appeals to unionists to return to
their jobs.
The union president said he was
certain the walkout started lin my
own plant" referring to the Jeffer-
son-Kercheval unit of Chrysler
from which he started his climb to
the UAW-CIO presidency.
II don't know who started the
strike, but I'm soon going to find
out" Mr.. Thomas said.
Charge Against Reuther Denied.
He denied charge made by Leo
Lamotte, director Of the union S
Chrysler division, that Walter P.
Reuther, vice president of the union,
caused the strike to gain political
advantage in the UAW-CIO. II
know Reuther and his people and
they certainly are not responsible
for this strike" Mr.. Thomas said.
There are causes for every
strike" he added. That is a prob
lem we face and we have been try
ing sincerely to lick it,"
The strikes started after union
leaders charged collective bargain
ing had completely broken down
in Chrysler plants. This was denied
by corporation spokesman.
Mr.. Thomas said he and Mr..
Reuther, George F. Adde's, union
secretary-treasurer, and Richard T
Frankensteen, vice president, would
address mass meetings of Chrysler
and Dodge local union members
tomorrow afternoon, urging a quick
return to work.
