Russ-Jap Friendship
And American Ships

On May Z, Washington had the
first official explanation of the many
bombings of the Jap-held Aleutian
island of Kiska. It said: United
States air forces have established
military positions, including an air
field on Amchitka and have been in
occupation of this island since Janu-
ary."
The same day, the Associated
Press sent out a dispatch dated
February Is (delayed)." ! might
say, "I'll say it was delayed"
It began this way: Despite a
series of eight Japanese bombing
raids, this American airbase, only a
few minutes flight from Kiska island
went into operation today"
/ quote all this to show what a
highly confidential war we are run
ming. BY the time this sees print
perhaps while I'm writing these
lines-Kiska may be in American
hands after a land invasion which
it is admitted is the only way we
can GUST the enemy from this spot.
If the Japs have gone by the time
you read this, there will be q sigh
of at least partial regret in some
quarters. The reason is this. AS long
as the Japs are on an island like Kiska
Cor GuadalcanaD more Japs have
to try to reach them, to bring them
supplies and keep them alive. And
while that goes on, the Americans
have a chance to keep enemy
wounds open. Japs themselves are
dependable. They are cheap, the
sun god has a lot of them and he's
generous in spending them. But he
hasn't so many ships or so many
supplies. So killing Japs doesn't
bother the Mikado nearly as much
as sinking his ships.
That is one reason the upturning
of the last Jap toes on any of their
stolen, far-fung bases will be a
source of at least partial regret.
There is another reason. Day in
and day out, from Vancouver and
Seattle, secret ships, loaded with
supplies for our Russian ally have
Deen calIniy SdIllng away past tne
Jap-held Kiska and Attu, under the
Japanese guns in the narrow waters
that lead to Vladivostok.
Now that was a little matter APP
proved by Russia and Japan who
hate and fear each other privately
but officially are friendly nations"
The question arises now: When and
if we trounce the little, men out of
the stronghold they have dug with
their fingernails in the rocky Attu
and Kiska, will they be as willing
to let us keep on shipping supplies
to Russia?
Perhaps it doesn't matter. BY
that time, which may be now, the
situation may have changed. The
interesting thing is that the situation
does change and thanks to the CEN
sorship, nobody knows 1t until the
knowledge ceases to be aid and COM
fort to the enemy.
But it's tough on newsman.

The ruling, first NLRB recon-

a strike in tie plant.
In UNFOLDING the company's con-
tention on this point, the trial ex-
aminer ruled:
LAS found above. the reason these

protested to the respondent and
discussed going on strike was be-
cause the respondent has ass gned
a colored employee 10 the position
Of crane operator.
Although Section Z OF the act
protects employees concerted ac-
tivities which have tke purpose OF
collective bargaining or other mu-
iual aid or protection such pro-
lection does not extend 10 concerted
activities directed 10 other pur-
poses. The protest OF Williams and
Lloyd IL successful. would have
resulted in racial discrimination
rather than in collective bargain
ing or other mutual aid or pro-

suaded and finds that their strike
designs were not OF such a nature
as to come within tie meaning and
protection OF the act.

act affords no protection, the re-
spondent was within its rights in
exercising disciplinary measures
against these employees for their
conduct"
Testimony before the examiner
had indicated that Williams and
Lloyd had protested to management
when Otey Tucker, a colored en-
ployee. had been assigned to work
as crane operator in the place OF
a white worker discharged the pre-
vious day for intoxication. Al
though the two men testified that
they had opposed fuckers employ
mont solely because they wanted
20 make overtime by leaving the
crane idle. the examiner ruled
against them after it was pointed
out that Lloyd and Williams hac
attempted 10 have another white
man assigned 10 the crane.
