Truck Drivers Strike
Against WLB Delays
Army, Navy Freight
Union Protests Failure
Of Board to Certify
New Wage Contract
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK Jan. 7.-B. M Sey-
mour, president of Associated Trans
port, Inc, operator of $500 trans
port vehicles in the East and South.
said last night that a wildcat
strike against the War Labor Board"
was holding up deliveries of Army
and Navy freight.
The strike, he said. started Mon
day in Baltimore and spread. to a
lesser extent, to Burlington. N. c.,
and to Washington. At last report
400 men were reported to be our.
he said, adding he understood $50
truckloads of Army and Navy freight
were being held up.
Mr.. Seymour said the men walked
out because the War Labor Board
had failed to certify a new contract
which had been negotiated by the
company and the International
Teamsters' Union (AFLD. The union. y
he said. was against" the strike and
had been making efforts to supply
men to keep the freight moving.
At meeting in Baltimore yester-
day company, union and Army Off
cials attempted to adjust the mat
ter. Mr.. Seymour said.
Associated Transport is ready to
put its signed contract into effect
Immediately upon certifcation, Mr..
Seymour said. 1T has informed Will
liam H Davis of the National Labor
Board and Daniel Tobin of the In
ternational Transfers Union of its
Willingness to help in any way as

of the events OF the war and the
needs of the war.
We should never forget the
things we are fighting for. But,
at this critical period of the war
We should conflne ourselves to the
larger objectives and not get
begged down in argument over
methods and details.
We. and all the United Ma
tionS. want a decent peace and a
durable peace. In the years be-
tween the end Of the First World
War and the beginning of the
Second World War. we were not
living under decent or a durable
peace.
I have reason to know that
our boys at the front are con-
cerned with two broad aims be-
yond the winning of the war:
and their thinking and their
opinion comedies with what
most Americans here back home
are mulling over They know,
and we know, that it would be
inconceivable-it would, indeed,
be sacrilegious-if this Nation
and the world did not attain
some real, lasting good out of
all these efforts and sufferings
and bloodsheds and death.
The men in our armed forces
want a lasting peace. and. equal
ly, they want permanent employ
ment for themselves, their FAINT
lies and their neighbcrs when
they are mustered out at the end
of the war.

There are cynics and skeptics
who say it cannot be done. The
American people and all the free
dom Loving peoples of this earth
are now demanding that it must
be done. And the will of these
people shall prevail.
The philosophy of the Axis
powers is based on profound con-

the formation of our future pol

cynical contempt, then we should

Sees Aroused People
On Road to Victory.
The issue of this war is the
basic issue between those who be-
lieve in mankind and those who
do not-the ancient issue between
those who put their faith in the
people and those who put their
faith in dictators and tyrants.
There have always been those who
did not believe in the people, who
attempted to block their forward
movement across history, to force
them back to servility and suffer-
ing and silence.

their strength. They are moving
forward in their might and power
and no force, no combination
of forces, no trickery, deceit or
violence, can stop them now.
They see before them the hope of
the world--a decent, secure,
peaceful life for all men every
where.
do not prophesy when this
war will end,
But l do believe that this year
of 1943 will give to the United
Nations very substantial ad-
vance along the roads that lead
to Berlin and Rome and Toxic.
I tell you it is within the realm
OF possibility that this Seventy
eighth Congress may have the
historic privilege Of helping
greatly to save the world from
future fear.
Therefore, let us-all of us
have confidence, let us redouble
our efforts.
A tremendous, costly, long en-
during task in peace as we'll as
in war is still ahead of US
But, as we face that continuing
task, We may know that the state
of this Nation is good-the heart
of this Nation is sound-the spirit
of this Nation is strong-the
faith of this Nation is eternal.

phasis on the success of the air

Foes Air Superiority Gone.
Declaring that the pounding of
the Axis through the air will grow
as tine days pass, the President
added:
"Yes-the Nazis and the Fascists
have asked for it-and they are
going to get it,
Hitler and MuSSolini will under
stand the enormity of their miscal-
cula ations-that the Nazis would al
ways have the advantage of superior
air power as they did when they
bombed Warsaw. Rotterdam, Lon
don and Coventry. Their superiority
has gone-forever.
The United States has produced
48 900 military planes-"mo than
the airplane production of Germany,
Italy and Japan put together"-in
1912. the President said. In Decem-
Der alone this country produced S.
500 military planes, and the rate is
rapidly rising he added.
What the arsenal of democracy
Is doing outside of airplane produc-
ton the President also gave to the
Congress. 1t has produced $4,000
combat vehicles. including tanks and
self propelled artillery. 1t has pro-
duced $4,000 machine guns, $1,000
anti-tank guns, 1250O 600, 900 rounds
of small arms ammunition and l8l.-
00O,OO0 rounds of artillery ammuni-
ton. These records of production
are tremendously greater than dur
ing the World War.

"in the American scene has been
the inspiring proof of the great
qualities of our fighting men. Az

our first battles of this war against

ing leaders of the United Nations
and to the qualities of their armies
Especially he mentioned Winston

Durable Peace Urged.
Discussing the aims for which the
United States is fighting and the
prospects for peace, the President
urged Americans not to get begged
down in argument over methods
and details, but keep always before
them the larger objectives.
First among these he placed a

would come out of the war with the
security, prosperity and dignity
which Japan had sought ruthlessly
to destroy.
Great Task in Europe.
The great task in Europe, he said,
had been to lessen the concentrated
pressure on the Russian front by
compelling Germany to divert part
Of her manpower and equipment to

the food We send abroad is for
essential military purposes, for
our own and Allied fighting
forces. and for necessary help in
areas that we occupy.
We Americans intend to do this
great job together. In our COM
mon labors we must build and
fortify the very foundation of
national unity-confidence in one

1t is often amusing, and it is
sometimes politically profitable,
to picture the City of Washington
as a madhouse. with the Con-

rupted with confusion and inde-

However, what matters most
in war is results. And the one
pertinent fact is that after only
few years of preparation and
only one year OF warfare, we are
able to engage. spiritually as we'll
as physically, in the total waging
of total war.

And US. seYvicemen
do-wi1h millions
of girl volunteers!

"A YHN taps blow in Army camps it's
" reveille for the largest civilian army
w in the nation - the millions of
American girls who dash from war jobs and
Offices every evening to entertain soldiers,
sailors and merchant seamen at service
parties. From Oregon to Florida every town
in the U.S. boasts flock of friendly young
volunteers who dance. talk. eat. and play
games with the boys at affairs arranged by
organised groups. No ono knows exactly
how many volunteer hostesses there arc.
But one official made . daxed estimate:
''Millions, millions!''
The USO has over 10000 hostesees. The
Stage Door Canteens have at least 1900
dancing partners in San Francisco. Cleve-
land. New York. Philadelphia, and Washing
ton. There are 1000 at Chicago's Service
Mems Center: 5000 listed with the Officers
Service Committee in New York. American
girls are even going overseas with the Red
Cross to bring whisper of hometown fun to
64 service centers scattered through Britain
and Ireland.
The average hostess is over Is. has plenty
of pep, and is dream on the dance floor.
She may hate jitterbugging but she'll grin
and swing it if sailor wants to Indy Hop.
She'll listen, too. if he wants to talk all eve
ming about the girl he left behind.

ton card and strict set of rules about BE-
havior tucked in her purse. Strictest: Don't

nation, troop movements, boat departures.
Stop Immediately any man who unwittingly
starts to give such information"
She's found that sailors dance more than
soldiers, that next to dancing the men pre-
fer charades and quiz games. She knows that
glamour scares the boys away; that they like
gay colors and feminine fluff. (As one sailor
at a USO dance put it: II can't relax around
