For Ship Workers;

today. The CIO Industrial Union of
Marine and Shipbuiding Workers
had sought a per cent increase,
while the American Federation of
Labor Metal Trades Department
asked only for an increase to COM
pensate for advanced living costs.
The board. it was learned also,
has decided to take jurisdiction in
the dispute between James c. Pet
rillo, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Musicians, and seven
transcription companies, and to de-
termine If the refusal of the musi-
clans to make any more transcript
tions is, in effect, a strike"
The shipbuilding workers case, it
was reported, was decided on the
basis Of the Little Steel formula,
which denies increases where the
labor concerned has had at least a
IS per cent advance since January l,
l941.
A formal opinion is in process Of
preparation. 1t Is understood the
board divided, 8 to 4, on the issue,
with the four labor members dis
senting
The CIO and AFL contended in
support of their request that the
shipyard workers had waived last
year contract clause providing
sliding scale of wage increases, based
on living costs, with the understand
ing that the cost of living would be
| held down. Approximately 1875 ship
yards, employing more than 1,000, 900
| workers are involved.
The board is expected to appoint
| tri-partite commission to investi-
gate the Petrillo case. If it is de-
termined that the attitude of the
musicians is strike" the board
policy would require it to order the
men back to work pending a set

ordered the ban on record produc-
tion, declaring that transcriptions
were destroying work opportunities
| for musicians. He disputed the
right of the board to intervene.
The companies asked the board to

Germans in Russia
Urge Nazi Revolt
BY the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, July PA manifesto
published here yesterday said a
group of German refugees and pris-
oners Of war in Russia have banded
together into THE National Com
mittee for a Free Germany" and
have urged the German people and
the Nazi Army to revolt and halt
the war before it's too late
The committee called for aboli-
ton of all Hitler laws and establish
ment Of a democracy. The 80 Ger
mans who signed the manifesto said
they are convinced that the war is
lost.
Other points demanded by the
manifesto were the re-establishment
and widening of the political rights
and social gains of the working peo-
pie; freedoms Of speech, the press,
conscience and religion and freedom
to acquire property lawfully. 1t also
demanded the return of confiscated
property to its lawful owners and
the confiscation of the property of
those who are to blame for starting
the war.
The manifesto proposed the "aw-
full and unmerciful trial of those
responsible for the war;" but at the
same time urged an amnesty for
those of Hitlers followers who de
| nounce him and join the movement
for q free Germany"
The manifesto concluded with an
appeal for action to insure the

Struggle Within Cabinet.
The conclusion that Argentina is
due for Fascism is predicted on the
winning of the widely rumored
struggle within the cabinet by the
group now in control. The fight is
said to be three cornered. Foreign
Minister Segundo r. Storm is leading
the democratic pro-Allied group
against the Fascist-minded, with
President Ramirez standing be-
tween.
AS matters stand now, repeated
official assurances of "pan-Ameri-
can solidarity" are less and less
convincing in view of the policy Of
the federal government and the or
ders closing democratic organiza-
tions on the slender excuse of their
being Communist.
The most significant move was the
dissolution last week of Accion Ar
gentina, a mammoth democratic
propaganda society with SOC, 600
members, including three former
| foreign ministers-Carlos Saavedra
Lamos, Adolfo Bioy and Jose Maria
Cantilo. Attending meeting of Ac-
cion Argentina meant Wading knee
deep in former ambassadors, former
cabinet members and the flower of
Argentine society. Accion Argentina
closed its membership to Commu-
nists more than two years ago.
Small Reason for Arms.
Furthermore, it is hard to find a
convincing argument to justify sup
plying Argentina at this time with
the jeeps, tanks, planes and ack-ack
which can be better used by Allied
armies in actual combat. AS Allied
action increases in Europe, Argen-
tia's importance in the defense of
the hemisphere and its need for
armaments become correspondingly
less.
AS HldJlSIS SGdIlu GOudy, tllCOC
arms would have only two applica-
tions: Against the Argentine peo-
pie. or against some other country.
Unless the new government pro-
vides an unequivocal definition of
purpose, domestic as well as inter-
national, only the worst can be be-
lieved. Acid nationalism has bitten
deep since former President Agustin
P. Justo organized Argentina's since
perfected police state. Sedulous
persecution of pro-Allied organiza-
tions and persons Communists or
noD and protection of the national
ist press with its themes of hate can
: only indicate that lease-lend arms
would be used neither against the
NaI-Fascists abroad, nor their con-
verts at home.

Third War Loan Drive
10 Exceed
Goal Of IS Billion
BY the Associated Press.-

BY the Associated Press.-
Digging deeper than ever into
the pockets of the average citi-
zen, Uncle Sam will set out in
September to break his own
worlds record for war financing.
Starting September 8, the Ma
tion's third War loan drive will
seek to raise $4,000, 900 ,000-and if
previous records are any criterion
the response will 60 far beyond that
goal.
All of the money is to come from
nonbanking sources, which is an in
novation in this country in the busi-
ness of buying the tools Of war.
The first drive last December was
aimed at a $4,000, 900 900 goal, but
actually raised nearly $4,000, ,0O0,-
600. In April the Treasury Depart
ment shot for $4,000, ,0O0, ,000-and
got $500, 900 900. However, in both
cases, banking sources brought in
about 5000, 600 900 Of each total,
which adds about that much to the
quota of the individuals, corpora
tions, insurance companies and
other nonbanking sources at this
time.
Record Sum in Each Case.
In each case the financing pro-
gram represented the largest to date
in world history.
Details of the program were an

the Treasury Morgenthau, who saic

Meanwhile. the July War STAMP
drive for $3.50, 0,000, 900 was reported
to be three-fourths of the way
toward its goal, spurred by the

Pope Plus Dep|ores
Rome Bombing, Asks
Prayers for Peace
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 22.-The Vati-
can radio yesterday broadcast
the text of letter from Pope
Plus XII to his vicar general for
the district of Rome, Francesca
Cardinal Marchetti-Salvaggiani
deploring Mondays bombing of
the Italian capital and calling
on Catholics the world over to
pray for a speedy peace.
In the letter, broadcast in English
and recorded here by the Associated
Press, the pontiff said he had
thought that "the horrors and de-
struction of bombing could be spared
to our dear Rome" Citing the his
torical, cultural and religious i'm
portance of Rome, the Pope then
said:
"All that we put before competent
authorities on several occasions in
clear terms, recommending to them
in the name of human dignity and
of Christian civilization the inviola-
bility Of Rome"
The Pope then stated he had felt
justified in hoping that the papal
authority and its impartiality would
have secured us the consolation,
among such bitterness, of finding a
reception by the contending parties
of our Intervention in favor of
Rome"
Cites Damage to Basilica.
But alas" he said, this so rea-
sonable hope of ours has been dis
appointed"
The pontiff mentioned damage
done to the basilica of San Lorenzo,
''the veneration of all Catholics by
its ancient associations" and now in
very great part destroyed"
LAS we contemplated the ruins of
that famous temple" he said, "the
words of the prophet jeremiah re-
turned to our mind: 'Quomodo
obscurantum est aurum, mutatus est
color optimus, dispersi sunt lapides
santcuarii." CHOW is the gold be-
come dim, the finest color is changed
the stones of the sanctuary are
scattered in the top of every street. y
The Pope closed his letter with the
call for prayers for an early peace.

= Our Opinion S.
. Whose Poi and Whose Kettle \

When Barney Bsruch spent approx
mately $4,000 of his own money to give
a dinner at one of Washington's swanki-
est hotels for Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hopkins
there was lot of eyebrow lifting and
comments about the bad taste of spending
so much money when the nation was sup
posed to be saving for the war effort.
But II seems that when it comes to
wartime limitations on spending for dis
play we don't know anything. For in
stance, the story that has come out about
the dinner Stain gave Wendell Willkie in
Moscow. There were thirty courses and
the kind of food and drink that graced the
state dinners in the days of the car.
The dinner was so good that United
States naval attache was inspired to call
the great Stain for failure to properly
recognize a particular branch of the
United States representation in Moscow.
That must have been good, too, for the
story in another column is that bucking up
to the Communist leader earned the at
tache promotion from captain to rear adj
miral. But nothing was said about the
policy of that display when thousands of
Russians were glad to get piece of black
bread and a potato.
Then, on his visit to Chungking, Mr..
Willkie was guest of Chinese dignitaries
at dinner Of twenty-four courses. And,
according to the appeals in this country,
for China relief, thousands of Chinese are
close to starvation.
Dividing the thirty course dinner at
Moscow and the twenty-four course meal
served Mr.. Willkie at Chungking would
not have gone very far toward relieving
the hungry in China and Russia. Neither
would the money Mr.. Baruch spent on the
Hopkins dinner have gone very far if di-
vided among war service agencies in this
country. But, as letter on that SUBJ
ject TO the editor of The Times says, the
question dissolves into one of whose OK
is gored or what pot is calling which ket-
tie black. That probably is as good a
solution as any.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1943-01-11

For some time we have been hearing
that as an effective instrument of war the
battleship was doomed. Hereafter battles
would be fought from the air. An air
plane sailing high above the sea could drop
bombs that would split the heaviest bat
tleship wide open. Some losses in the
early stages of Hitler's wild rampage
seemed to sustain that theory.
But that was before the United States
got into action. Tie new battleships, with
out so much armament but with greater
speed, longer range and heavier firing Ca
pacity have given that theory a setback.
Recent performances of these new bat
tie wagons" have surprised even our own
navy. So with all respect to the opinions
of the late BILLY" Mitchell, we are going
to have to re-evaluate the place of the
seagoing arm in our military program.
It is not that the battleship or any
other instrument of war will replace the
airplane. But as a coordinating unit OF
offense and defense, the battleship is re-
tanning the respect that always has been
accorded the sea fighters.
We have learned something about
tanks. too. Gen. Rommeps successes in
North Africa, notably in the campaign in
LkyDl, Wtft TUT W tfft sufViioiiiy Vi ~"
heavier tanks. The American high COM
mand also had been sold on the theory
that the heavy tank was the answer TO
successful land fighting and American
engineers went even further in adding
weight and power.
Just about the time we thought we
had reached superiority over the worlds
tank builders the ordnance department
comes ont with n tank buster" Without
the weight of heavy armor but with great
err power and speed and guns with the
range and striking power of fortress arm
ament, there was a machine that put the
tanks out of business. 1t was some of
these hit and run mobile fortresses that
enabled the British to start Rommel on
the retreat that is making the United Ma
tons campaign in North Africa less diff
cult
Now it's up to ingenious man to devise
a buster that will bust the tank buster
and create machine that will supersede
the sea-going fortress.
