Arrest Clio

BY WILLIAM LLOYD

Houston, Tex, Sept. 24-(UP)-
r. j. Thomas, president Of the CLIO
United Automobile Workers who
was arrested last night for viola
ton Of the Texas labor law, said to-
day he would carry the case to the
U. s. Supreme Court to test con-
stitionality Of the newly-enacted
statute.
Thomas, who also Is a vice pres
ident Of the CLIO, was arrested on a
charge Of soliciting union member
ships without a state license. Shelf
ifs deputies posted in the audience
took him into custody as he COM
pleted a speech at a labor rally at
nearby Pelly, Tex.
During the speech, he purposely
urged workers to join the CIO Oil
Workers Union, and told the au-
dience he was soliciting member
ships In such a manner that state
authorities could not avoid q test
case.
He charged that the law, enacted
at the last session Of the legislature,
restricted freedom Of speech. Charg-
ing that Texas legislators had fail
ed to read their States Constitution
he quoted an excerpt from IL which
said that mo law shall ever be pas
sed which curtails the liberty Of
speech and the press"
Before the speech, Gerald Mann,
Texas attorney general, obtained
a court order restraining Thomas
from soliciting memberships. Sler-
If Neal Polk, who stationed depu-
ties at the meeting, said beforehand
that Thomas would not be molested
If he refrained from soliciting.
During the speech, one OF the
deputies informed Frank VIM,
JAW press agent and Thomas
spokesman, that so far Thomas had
refrained from violating the law
having failed to single out an in
dividual in the audience in his So
licitation.
TITS getting damned hard to get
arrested VIM laughed, and
scrubbed Thomas a note.
Thomas, after reading the note,
singled out a man In the front row
and urged him to join the union.
Deputies then took Thomas and
two other labor leaders-C. NJ. Mas
sengale, Fort Worth, Tex, assistant
national director of the Oil Workers
organizing campaign, and John
Grassland, Houston, sub-regional
CLIO director-to nearby Goose
Creek, where charges were filed
against them before justice Of the
peace. All were released on $500
bond.

China Air Command
Under Gen. Chennau|t
Established by u. 5.
Believed One Result
Of Nine. Chiune's Visit
To Washington
BY the Associated Press.


CHUNGKING, March 10.-The
creation of a China air command
Of United States forces under
Brig. Gen. Claire l.. Chennault
was announced in a communique
issued today from 1t. Gen. Jo-
seph w. Stilwells headquarters.
Gen. Chennault formerly was un-
der Brig. Gen. Clayton L. Bissell,
commander of American Air Forces
In China, Burma and India.
The communicates said:
Upon the direction of the War
Department the 14th Air Force was
activated today under the COM
manding general of United States
Army forces in China, Burma and
India. The 14th Air Force, COM
manded by Brig. Gen. Chennault,
replaces the China air task force"
Gen. Stilwell is the commanding
general of United States Army forces
in China, Burma and India.
The creation of separate air
command in China fulfilled a long
cherlShed CnlneSe nope and was
believed here to have been one con-
crete result of Nine. Chang Kai-
shek's visit to Washington.
Observers took it for granted that
Gen. Chennault's air force would
be considerably reinforced
In Chinese quarters, Gen. Chen
nault's new appointment was ex-
pected to usher, in new phase of
the air war against Japan.
Chinese regard the present Amer
lean Air Force In China as only
the nucleus of a great armada whose
activities ultimately will range from
active support of Chinese ground
forces to the regular bombing of
Japan.
The appointment also conceded
with reports that the British RAF
in China, which never consisted of
more than personnel without planes,
is gradually winding up its affairs.
