China Must Be Given
Voice at Peace Table,
Mccormack Asserts
House Majority Leader
Terms Defeat Of japan
Of Major Importance
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Majority Leader Mccormack of
Massachusetts, says China must
have equal voice at the peace table
and takes issue with Prime Minister
Churchill's suggestion for a post
war council of Europe and council
Of Asia.
In a statement, Mr.. Mccormack
said yesterday the British leader
had made contribution for discus
sion by this suggestion in his Sum-
day speech, but added
There are many who feel that
regionalism is contrary to the con-
cept of the global character of the
present struggle. Peace to me seems
to be indivisible, and the doctrine
OF regionalism may lead to future
world disorder instead of bringing
the world closer to the concept of
universal order and decency."
There have been reports of some
concern in this capital that Mr..
Churchill's address might be dis
heartening to the Chinese, stressing
as 1t did that it might be l945 be-
fore the European war Is over and
all the necessary" forces are trans
ferred to the Pacific theater to
strike at Japan.
Mr.. Mccormack made no direct
reference to these reports. but said
that while the defeat of Hitler is
primary matter of consideration we
cannot permit the impression to exist
that the defeat OF Japan is a sec
ondary matter"
There is nothing that I know of
that would tend to dishearten the
people Of Asia under the tyrranic
yoke OF Japan, and particularly of
China. more than to permit this i'm
preston to exist" he added.
He went on to say that "as China
is one Of the four major nations en-
gagged on our side in this war. so in
victory must it be one of the four
major nations that will determine at
the peace table the future of this
world for decades to come"

Former Druft Chief
Suggests Solution
For Problem
BY the Associated Press.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill, March 25.-
Clarence A. Dykstra, former selec-
tive service director, last night
urged sane and realistic" national
manpower policy and "a sure footed,
competent and thoroughgoing ad-
ministration of the policy
I'VE should be asking that those
IN authority see this problem of war
manpower as whole" Mr.. Dykstra.
president of the University of Wis
consin, who resigned his selective
service post in April, 194l, declared
in an address in the annual Edmund
James James lecture at the Univer-
sity of Illinois.
I'VE can not waste time in partial
attacks on isolated or particular
areas" he added.
Urges Equal Standard.
The people are ready for any re-
quired joint sacrifice" he said add
ing that "all are entitled to the same
standards, and immediate bargain
ing power ought not to profit one
group over another"
He listed the following as decisions
which must be made to solve the
manpower problems
"A decision on the manpower
needs of agriculture and the war
industries.
"A determination as to what un-
essential tasks can be laid aside for
the duration and what manpower
will be released.
What tasks have been assigned
by tradition to men in uniform
which can be readily undertaken
by men unfit for military service
and by women.
What red tape can be cut in
the Army and Navy to release man
power for other duties.
Colored Citizen Noted.
"A decision to make a better and
more comprehensive use of the
many colored citizens who still are
asking for work.
ITO resolve the transport per-
sonnel situation by ordinary and
common-sense revision Of the re-
strictive rules which seem to ham
per our emergency effort.
"A clear administrative mandate
which will place the execution of
manpower policy in one responsible
place.
"A clear-cut decision AS to what
other controls in the economic and
social fields will aid in solving the
manpower problem. Here are in
volved wages, prices, rationing,
taxes and compulsory savings and
questions OF housing, transporta-
ton and education. The matter of
union rules and practices has an in
innate relation to such decisions.
"A decision as to what mixture
OF persuasion and pressure We are
going to use in assigning working
personnel and the place of defer
ment in such program"

Vichy Will Mobilize
Men From "a 10 81
For Work in Reich
1000, 900 Must Register
And at Least 100000
Probably Will Be Sent
By PAUL GHALI.

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
BERN, March 25.-Vichy has
decided to mobilize another eight
classes of French workers, name
ly, those born between 1912 and
1919, with the result that all
Frenchmen from "a to 81 now
are liable to compulsory labor
service in Germany.
This new measure was neces-
STATED partly by the numerous de
serters' from three classes called
up by Premier Pierre Laval at the
end Of February, and partly by the
new German demands for more
workers. The total number of
Frenchmen who must register i'm
mediately under the latest order is
estimated at 1000, 900, of whom at
least one quarter will be ordered"
to Germany.
Vichy's new decision created the
most mfavorable impression in
France, according to all informat ton
reaching here. Increased tension
is expected between the Vichy au-
thorities and the French popula-
ton while doubtless respectable
ranks of partisans in hiding will be
swelled by several thousand young
men from newly conscripted classes.
Vichy also has decided, according
to today's Gazette de Lausanne, to
modify the recruiting system en-
ployed up to now in order to avoid
fight to the mountains of "candi-
dates for Germany. In future
there will be no census or medical
examination of workers destined for
Germany. Instead the Mayors will
decide on the fitness of men in their
villages and supply recruiting au-
thorities with lists of victims"
whose departure will follow imme-
diately. BY these means Vichy
hopes to avoid delays used by de-
serters for escape.

Trial Crew Will Get Adjustments

\ When contract negotiations end kd, the subject of trial crew ad- Hustments involved in proposals eubmitted by this department, was %ot settled. This matter and also She matter of a definition and re- classification of coppersmiths, IpluS the issue of IS minutes pay During the 50-minute recess for Clerks in Department 416, are all ktill open even though they have 1lot yet been certified to the War AAabor Board as a dispute. In the ease of vacations, working leaders, {pbstruction welding and crane Operators, a hopeless deadlock had been reached and that is why these
 natters were certified.
 In the case of the three other
 problems described above, the bUnion Executive Committee and iehe management could not agree,
 but both believed that by further Negotiations In the future these {matters could be satisfactorily
 adjusted and that if no agreement
 eould be reached, then the arbi-
 tration procedure in the new con-
 tract could adequately take care of this situation and solve the diff ficulty.
 1. The Union had letter from the Company conceding that the Union
 has reserved all rights in these
 matters.
 ] In the very near future these
 eubjects will be taken up and the
 adjustments will be made retroac-
 tive.
 ] Meanwhile all members of the trial crew are strongly urged to refuse to sign any individual con-
 tract with Captain Foster. Let the Union handle the matter and you
 will get best results.

First EBCO Casualty

It. Daniel Crowley, who was re- gently killed in an airplane crash down south, was employed in the main yard sheet metal shop.
 "Dan," as he was familiarly known, worked here for about one year before leaving to join the air corps. He was one of the first E. B. workers to enlist and one of the first, if not the first, to be killed in his countrys service.
 On the outside wall of the office in the sheet metal shop hang three honor rolls-one for the first shift, one for the second and one for the third. The name of Daniel B. Crowley appears on one of these, and will be long remembered as the name of a fellow who was a great guy, and who went, we are sure, in just the way he would have wanted to, at the controls of a plane.
 Although we are sure he would much rather have seen some action, fate deemed otherwise.

Heating Plant
By R. Gilbert Gardner

The recent fire in the north building ways proved one import ant fact. Promptness is the middle name of the firemen, and of the fire department.
 It is alleged that a prominent company official happened to be in the north yard when the fire broke out. He was so impressed with the sudden squelching that the flame received, that he commented fav- orably about it. By the time the whistle blew the second time, the fire was having it's case attended to. Now that is something!
 A queer contradiction of the heating situation is that after people from other parts of the yard yell for steam, then they put up their windows and allow all this valuable heat to escape. Of course, the weather may be blamed for this, but it always seemed to us that one of the commodities that should be hOarded at this time is heat, steam heat.
 Penetrating the haze of the old room office is one big fact-Chief Fire Instructor Berb White has changed his brand of tobacco. We reserve our opinion as to whether the new brand is better or worse than the one he smoked previously.
 However, several fellows were observed running from the office holding their noses-so 1t doesn't look so good.

Cdn Business Agent Hold Union Office

Inquiry has been made as to whether or not the new business agent, who will be chosen by the General Committee, can be an of ficer or Executive Committee member of the Union.
 In examining the bylaws, it ap- pears that there is no express language on this subject which would govern. According to the wording of the bylaws the Gen. eral Committee could pick any body for the business agent re- gardless of whether or not the can- didate is even an employee of the company or member of the Union.
 However, in the case of the Of ficers and Executive Committee, the bylaws require that they be chosen from members of the Union. The bylaws also state that no two offices may be held by the same person, but Attorney Charles Suisman does not believe that it prohibits an officer or ex- ecutive committee member from also being appointed business agent and holding both posts at the same time. In other words, in his opinion, any officer or ex- ecutive committee member is el- igible for appointment as business agent.

Two Girls Spot EB Fire; Report Same

With all these bonds being d0- mated for stepping Up production, it would seem only fitting that the following two employees of the north storehouse, second shift re- ceived some sort of recognition in spotting a fire in the old carpenter shop. one Saturday night about 11:30.
 The two ladies are: Isabelle Jack son and Alice Sullivan.
 The way the story goes is that Isabelle spotted fire, and was so excited she couldn't talk, but fn- ally attracted the attention of Alice, who, upon seeing the cause of the excitement, immediately mo- tified MT. Avery, the night watch man.
 He contacted fire headquarters in the yard, and prompt action was taken.
 If the fire had gone much long CT, it would no doubt have done considerable damage.

" Yard Crane Operators
 And Oilers Hold Banquet

Twenty Victory Yard Gantry crane operators and oilers gath cred at the Quaker Hill Firehouse last week and enjoyed turkey supper.
 Arrangements for the gathering were made by George Watrous, chairman and Miron Brown, as- sisting. Harold Fant acted as toastmaster.
 The crane operators and oilers passed the hat around before they left the frehouse to raise money to buy the firemen a new set of china to replace the dishes broken by Brown, who acted like a bull in a china shoppe.

Machine Shop Office


 and many others have lost friend in the passing of Harry Ligourie. His many friends present at the beautiful service were mute teS- timony to Harry's character and friendlinesS. For some months he has been riding with us, and we have come to value Harry as real friend and companion. While we no longer stop as we pass his house of a morning, his good hu- mor and ready wit still ride with us. Adios, Harry, and fight on, fare ever there as here!'
 Another somber note in the Shop Office in particular and about the yard generally is the departure of our Maud Ryan to Chicago and points west. There is spark about Maud that is cur rently missed hereabouts. While we can't blame her for wanting to join her husband, still we shall hold to the possibility that she may yet rejoin the MSO. In the meantime, Maud, the best of luck from all of us!
 The final, post-season bulletin from the Garden Club states that that man Is still bringing in to- matoes from his garden. Seems that Jack has been watering them with anti-freeZp
 We hear rumblings from the un- consulted worker as to parking conditions and traffic delays due to the latest shift arrangements that have been imposed by off cial directive. The Victory Yard, we understand, really has con- dition what is condition. When everyone arrives more or less at once, tries to park all at once, and then struggles to get home in a dead heat, the result is some more psychology, which does not in- crease production-con contrary to any official theories that men work harder when fighting mad.
 Another bit of unsolicited ad- vice from this column to those whom 1t may concern, has to do with the confidence of the work CTS in the word of the manage ment. When promises are made on the bulletin board, and fail to materialize elsewhere, the reactions are, again, unfortunate. To wit, Department 308 was promised heat until atmospheric conditions in 303 improve. The bulletin has since disappeared from the board, but heat has not appeared. No one has even been appointed to ham mer on the radiators. How about it, Charlie, can't get get the CO., operation?
 During these first two weeks of November, friends, nominations are in order for seven positions in the Union. From the Bylaws we gather that the president cannot succeed himself again, so it is up to the electorate to nominate a worthy successor who can really carry out the objectives of good union.
 The nominee must submit his nomination, signed by 25 members in good standing, to the clerk Jolln M. O'Connor in the storehouse, 363, Main YarO by Saturday, Novem- Der 18th. The positions open for nomination are president, vice president, treasurer, clerk, and three members of the Council.
 If only one is nominated for position, he is automatically elect ed. Two candidates require a pri- mary election in November or De- cember. Should a candidate re- ceive more votes than al, others combined, he is automatically elected. Failing this, there must be an election.
 Come on, folks, let's have your nominations by Saturday, Novem- Der 18th, in the hands of Clerk O'Connor. Let's make the union go to town for all concerned!
