DETROIT STRIKE
LASTS One DAY
Full Shift of 1900 at
Chrysler Plant Returns
Today

Detroit, June 29-CUP)-Produc
ton returned to normal at Chrysler
Corporations Highland Park plants
today when the full day shift of g.
200 workers reported after a one
day unauthorized strike.
A company spokesman reported
"only normal absenteeism" as the
strike returned to production of
guns, tanks, airplanes and army
trucks, ending Detroit's first major
stoppage since passage of the anti
strike bill.
The spokesman said the men,
members of the United Automobile
Workers (CIO), returned to work
under an agreement to arbitrate
grievances growing out of the sus-
pension of a union shop steward
charged by engagement with hav
ing ''countermanded" company Or
derS.
The resumption of normal pro-
duction followed a partial return
last night when 40 per cent of l.
600 late shift workers responded to
JAW pleas that they return to their
jobs.
There still was no definite word
as to what action, if any, would be
taken against ie strikers for vi
lating anti-strike law terms provid-
ing 30-day cooling-off" period be-
fore strikes can become effective.
u. S. Attorney John c. Lehr and
District FBI Chief John S. Bugas
said they we're keeping an eye on
the situation" but that they still
had not received orders from Wash
ington regarding our specific duties
to connection with the new law"

faculty which occurred on June
tWenty-fifth.
Mr.. Corrigan has been on our
roster for twenty years first in

alton School and later as teach
er in that organization. In 1882
he was transferred to the Nee
hanical Drawing Department in
Leavenworth High School, From
the time of his entrance into our
system Mr.. Corrigan was always
ambitious to better his position
and he met his opportunities well
equipped to give satisfactory ser
vice. He was a very industrious,
hard working man who proceeded
quietly in the discharge OF his
duties giving to them the con-
scientious and painstaking effort
necessary to the successful teach
ing of his subject.
Although his health was not OF
the best for some time past Mr..
Corrigan did not permit his IN
DISPOSITION to interrupt his work
but was in excellent attendance
throughout the entire school year
Tha he should be taken from US

so suddenly, is both startling and
sad and gives us pause in the FUR

and to his Maker we offer a Ter
vent prayer for his eternal rest

MISS SL0BODA'S.
BODY RECOVERED.
Young War Worker SUI
fered Fatal Attack of
Cramps Swimming

The body of Anna Sloboda was
recovered from Hitchcock's Lake,
Wolcott, late yesterday afternoon,
after a graphing hook moved a
sunken log which had kept the
body pinned at the bottom of the
lake. The body was found in 30
feet of water short distance away
from hhe spot where Miss Sloboda
was last seen by a friend, Miss
Doris Jacaruso of Waterbury.
The tragedy occurred Sunday
afternoon while Miss Sloboda and
Miss JacaruSo were on an outing to
the lake.
DR.. Irving Platt, Wolcott medical
examiner, said that the death was
accidental and caused by drowning
Reports showed that Miss Sloboda
ate heavily before her last swim,
and it was seen possible that the
food contributed to stomach cramps
which preceded the drowning, he
said. Miss Sloboda was known to be
a strong swimmer.
Miss Sloboda, who was 20, and
lived at 60 Alder street, is survived
by her mother and step-father, Mr..
and Mrs Peter Savin, and by bro
ther, Peter who is in the Navy
Funeral arrangements, in charge of
of the Deliniks Funeral Home, are
incomplete.
Another drowning was reported
this morning from Danbury where
the fully-clothed body of John C.
Doran, 68, prominent Danbury bus
mess man and former resident of
Waterbury's North End, was found
floating in Lake CandleWood An
nouncement on the cause of his
death is being withheld until an
autopsy can be performed.
Also, on Monday, two Waterbury
boys had narrow escapes, John
Deegan, 10, 60 Laurel street, was
saved by life guard at Hitchcock
Lake after he was stricken with
heart attack in the water. Stuart
Udell, was taken from the middle
of the lake at Camp Mataucha, Wa
tertoWn, after suffering an attack
of cramps.

Over the holiday weekend last
year, although pleasure driving
had not been eliminated, gasoline
had been rationed. Nevertheless,
there were 125 accidents on the

that day the year before. In these
accidents 121 persons were injured

Finlund's Peace Bid

The identification OF Ftnland's
Premier Edwin Linkomies as the
anonymous spokesman who was
quoted last week as saying that his
country wished to withdraw from the
war may be taken as an indication
that the Films are giving more seri-
Gus consideration to the possibilities
OF breaking away from Germany and
negotiating a separate peace.
Rumors of Finlands desire to get
out OF the war have been circulating
for some time and came to a head
last month when ten political leaders
signed a statement urging President
Risto Ryti to take steps looking
toward separate peace with Russia.
The statement, which said that Fin
land is sliding toward dangerous
path" was made public by the gov
eminent. The subsequent statement
by Premier Linkomies was to the
effect that Finland regretted being
at war with England and desired

assured Of her pre-1939 independence
and territorial status. Hence 1t
seems obvious that the Firms are
willing and anxious to discuss peace
terms.
1t is not going to be easy, however,
for Finland to get out Of the war on
anything approximating her own
terms. In the United States and in
England there is a great deal Of un-
derstanding and sympathy for the
plight Of the Firms. But there also
are certain facts that cannot be
ignored.
q Finland went to war against Rus
sia as an ally Of the Nazis to recover
strategic frontiers which had been
taken by the Soviets after the Russo
Finnish conflict. But, whatever the
merit Of this Finnish contention,
there is no getting around the fact
that Finland Is an ally of Germany
and, in the words OF Sumner Welles,
that she has been giving effective
military aid to the Axis" Further
mere, the Firms have allowed their

steadily for two hours, until they
were out Of danger.
Then one of the men came to
relieve him. Sorry" the boy said,
"but can't let CO." They found that
the palms of his hands had been
burned away, and that he had been
rowing with the bones exposed. What
remained of the flesh had stuck to
the oars, so that they had to cut his
hands loose.
Donald curled up in the bottom of
the boat, and little later they dis
covered that he was dead. Eight of
the eleven others survived to tell the
story, with the result that, after
death, the George Cross has been
awarded to the young seaman.
Surely, the rest of us are not en-

Donald Owen Clarke

There are times when most of us
chafe under the inconvenience and
what are sometimes called the bur-
dens Of this war. Perhaps there were
times when Donald Owen Clarke felt
the same way.
Son of the publisher Of a country
weekly in England, Donald enlisted
In the British merchant navy at the
age Of sixteen. He was nineteen, and
still sailor, when two torpedoes
crashed into his ship during recent
Atlantic crossing. Trapped in his
cabin, the boy was badly burned, but
managed to break out and get to the
one lifeboat that could be launched.
There were eleven other men in the
boat, most Of them 80 badly burned
or injured that they could not row

Food for Thought
From the South Bend Tribune.

From the South Bend Tribune.
1t is most unfortunate that SO many
people do not know all that goes on
under the New Deal. Not even those
who are we'll informed know it all, but
they do know enough to realize that the
country cannot continue in its present
methods and its citizens not suffer the
consequences. Unless the people of
America awaken to what the New Deal
system is doing to them and what it
can do to them, they will be in a sorry
plight. The country now is about as
near to dictatorship as it can be
without being entirely at the mercy of
one. To many this may seem untrue.
but one only has to study and analyze
the powers that have been acquired by
public officials, especially the President.
to realize where the country is going II
the present methods are not eliminated.
This Is something for all thoughtful
men and women Of America to weigh
most carefully.

THE BEST BOOK FOR TRYING TINES
By the Req. w. L. Darby
President OF the Washington City Bible Society.
hen days are dark and the future is

When days are dark and the future is
uncertain, men turn their faces Godward,
seeking comfort and guidance. More
than anything else they want light and
leading. This is all the more true when
death and destruction threaten them
on every hand: and in our time these
calamities surround men as never before
in human history. We feel our insignifi-
canoe and helplessness when we confront
the irresistible forces of nature. A SEN
tlment akin to that is common every
where today. So men seek the help of
a higher power to strengthen them for
the ordeals of life and to aid them in
solving its complex and difficult prob
lens.
These facts explain in large measure
why so many people are turning to the
Bible during these troubled days amid
the terrible holocaust of war. It is the
Holy Scriptures which give counsel such
as mankind so sorely needs and illumine
the pathway ahead
Even with the marvellous achievements
of science in recent decades, bringing to
us conveniences hitherto undreamed of,
the deep needs of the human spirit have
not changed That is why efforts to
destroy the church and prevent the cir
culation Of the Bible are doomed to fail
ure. Man is inherently religious and
can find rest and peace only in God
The Bible which reveals Him and
through which He speaks is the book
which contains the exceedingly great
and precious promises" that will uphold
men in these trying times.
The men in uniform scattered all over
the world are reading their Testaments
eagerly, sometimes in very strange and
unexpected places. They find there
what they want in hours of danger and
despair. The epic story Of Capt. Ricken-
backer and his companions has touched
countless hearts. It was Johnnie Bar
teks little pocket Testament which sus-
tained them day by day, giving them
faith and courage to hold on until the
glad day of rescue came. This was not
q unique experience-far from it; thou
