RUSSIA:
Ndzis UnCOH


Three reasons we're cited by
military observers for the initial
success of the sudden German
counter-offensive west of Rostov
and south of Kharkov which in its
early stages had swept forward
100 miles and resulted in the cap
ture of eight key cities in the
Donetz basin which had been taken
earlier by the Soviets in their great
winter drive.
One reason was the use by the
Nazis of % fresh divisions. Twelve
of these had been rushed from
western Europe and the others re-
plenished after previous action. A
second reason was the draining Of
troops from the southern sector by
the Russians to supply momentum
to their drive on Orel and Vyazms
to the north. The third was the
superiority of Axis supply lines
and communications in the Donet2
area.
The serious extent Of these early
German successes was evident ir
the fact that Russian official com.
muniques had admitted the loss OF
the cities the Germans had claim.
ed. Russ reports disclosed that the
German move had actually started
late in February.
The setback in the south had not
prevented the Russians from con,
tinuing their drive on Vyazma. Rec
communiques had reported the cap,
ture of Tiomkino.

Bill Opposed
By Perkins (..,

Workers Don't Want

By FEDERATED PRESS

WASHINGTON - Secretary OH
Labor Frances Perkins in twc'
hours of testimony March 10 main
tanned her opposition to the work
or fight bill under exhaustive ques-
tioning by its author, Rep. Lyndon
B. Johnson 3D., Tex.) and others.
She said it would result in lots of
record keeping burdensome to
small industries without correcting
absenteeism.
Johnson led her step by step
through the bill asking what her
objection to each feature of it was,
in an attempt to create the I'M
preston it was merely device for
getting statistics on the causes of
absenteeism. Others then took over
the questioning, which was to con-
tinue March IL.
Workers Prefer Armed Service
"Do you see anything punitive in

the bill which would require en-

absenteeism could be removed.
Rep. Melvin J. Mas r., Minn.)
revealed that the committees at

"last spring when we were consid-
ering legislation to suspend the 40
hour week" He said that "some
government official warned us
strikes were not the main thing,
but absenteeism." He didn't reveal
the connection between a search
for strikes and the 40-hour week.
Causes of Absenteeism
Industrial accidents and illness
account for at least two-thirds of
the absenteeism, said the secre-
tary. Ninety per cent of industrial
accidents, which took 250,000 man
days last year, could be prevented,
she said. The U. S. Public Health
Service estimated that from 250,-
100000 to 4OO,000,0OO man days of
work were lost through illness.
About one-half was preventable.
Mas told her, "This is not hys-

Soviet Attack
EoIse---WeIIes
BY JOHN DUNN
Federated Press

NEW 1Ohh-AunllId w lllldlil
H. Standley, U. S. ambassador to
the Soviet Union, was talking
through his plumed hat when he
said in Moscow that the Soviet
government is not telling its peo-
pie the truth about the war materi-
al that has been produced for the
Russian front by American work.
ers.
Sandley's statement was rebuked
by Undersecretary of State Sum-
ner Welles and is exploded by the
facts themselves. A Federated
Press checkup March 10 found that
not only are the Russian people
kept informed of the material from
the U. S., but they have repeatedly
expressed their appreciation al
though the material represents but
small part of what the battle
there requires.
The record shows that the Sovi-
ct Unions largest newspapers -
Pravda, Izvestia, Red Star (the
army newspaper and Trud (the
labor union organ)-all hav, car
ried detailed stories of lend-lease
shipments since they began in Oc-
tober, 1941. The Soviet radio also
has broadcast these figures.
Russians Informed of Aid
Ralpr Parker, famous New York
Times correspondent, and Henry
C. Cassidy, of the Associated Press,
who have been covering the Soviet
front since the war started, both
gave the lie to Standley in stories
March 9 and 10, Parker writing
from Moscow and Cassidy from
New York, where he recently re-
turned for rest.
There can be no doubt" Parker
wrote, "that the masses of the
Soviet Union are fully aware Of
the extent Of American aid"
Parker, however, pointed out
that the Soviet government had to
be careful not to exaggerate the
extent of American shipments be-
cause "they are only small frac-
tion of the total material consumed
in the immense struggle on this
immense front"
But the Russians are grateful
for the assistance they do get, as
is shown by dispatch which Allied
Labor News carried Oct. Is, 1912,
! quoting a Red Star interview with
Ivan Schernik, commander of a
group of U. S.-made tanks.
Russians Are Grateful
"The success of our operations,
Schernik said, "is a tribute to the
merit, skill and efficiency of
American workers"
Obviously if the Soviet govern
ment were trying to suppress news
of American material, it would not
allow the Red Star, which circu-
lates among millions of Red sol
diers, to print this interview.
President Edward c. Carter of
Russian War Relief said March 10
that 1--WE have direct evidence that
the Soviet government has taken
considerable pains to inform Soviet
citizens of the arrival of our ship
ments and of the fact that they
come from the hearts of the Ameri-
can people"
Another who condemned Stand
ley was Wendell L. Willkie, who
visited the Soviet Union last fall.
And the loudest cheers for the
American ambassador were heard
on the shortwave radio-from Ber-
lin.

Output Per Man Hour
Increases 5000
Since last War
Workers Overcome
Many Obstacles

NEW YORK (FP) - American
workers overcame many obstacles
in 1912 to increase production per
manhour in u. S. manufacturing
industry by more than ESQ, the
Economic Notes of Labor Research
Association reveal.
The increase, Ira says, is re-
markable in view of the fact that
output per manhour increased
more than 1900 from the end of
the last war to 1941.
Higher Worker Morale
Adverse factors in 1912 which,
Ira asserts, might well have
caused a decline in per capita pro-
ducti8ity instead Of an increase
were the conversion from peace to
war production, employment of
less efficient and skilled workers,
reopening of less efficient plants
and migration of labor,
"Offsetting these factors" the
Ira said, twas the higher morale
of the working force in the present
war due to the strength of the
unionS and the wholeheartpd mar
ticipation of labor in every phase
of the war effort"
Production Increase Predicted
Even greater productivity may
be expected in 1943, according to
the Federal Reserve Bank and
other government agencies. The
