Admitting il was true that Allied
bOmbings "have played havoc" i'm some
sections of Germany, Patterson sought
to wipe out complacency by noting:
"Efective as the bOmbingS have
been, the industrial strength of Ger
many is still high. German designers
have lost none of their ingenuity They
are constantly at work on new
weapons. One new weapOn-a rocket
gun-weighS less than Il ton and has
II fire power equal to six field howit-
zerS. Their cotton Tiger tanks are ap-
pearing on the battlefield in increasing
numbers. They are constantly trying
out devices with which they hope to
stop our bombers.
AT the moment, at least, Germany
can make ends meet on industrial man
power despite the army Of 300 divi-
SonS she maintains in the field. We
must not forget that Germany domi-
mates Europe and feeds on Europe :
industries and resources.
''rhe number of workers employed
i'm war industries in NaZi-dominated
lands was 23,OOO,OOO at the start of
the war Now ii is 35.OOO,OOO.
And that is not all. Germany is now

I'VE see many officers in Washington
who have just returned from the fight

of German troops is high, that the
veterans whom we engage still have
arrogant faith in their ability To stop
any Allied attack"

Praises War Effort
After Inspection
Tour To West Coast
Dutch Sedmen's Official En-
thusidstic After Trip Neces-
stated BY Union Growth

New York City ULNS).-Returning
recently from three weeks inSpec-
tion tour to the West coast Peter j.
Nandenberge, secretary of the Amer
lean section of the Dutch Central
Transport Workers Federation, gave
his New York associates of the United
Nations maritime unions Il glowing re-
port on the American war effort, par
ticularly as regards maritime trans
portation and merchant shipbuilding.
Nandenberge'S trip to the west coast
was necessitated by growing Neither
lands shipping activities in the Pacific
and the need for active union partici-
patton in matters pertaining to Meth
erlandS shipping in west coast ports.
The unions new west coast headquar-
terS is located at 21O California Street,
San Francisco, and is regarded by
western shipping and union circles as
helpful in speeding up shipping and
furnishing necessary manDOwer to mer-
chant ships sailing under the Dutcn
flag.
"The establishment of union office
in San Francisco has proven even more
desirable and necessary than we antic
ipated' Nandenberge commented. Not
only our own crews but Netherlands
government representatives and ship
ping interests as we'll welcome this
move which helps to stabilize Neither
lands shipping conditions in the
Pacific"
The Dutch labor official also con
ferred with President Harry Lunde
berg of the SeafarerS' International
Union of North America, on matters of
closer collaboration between the, mari
time unions of the United Nations.
He was viSibly impressed with the
SI.U. training school for ablc-bOdied
Seamen at San Francisco and describ
ed il as IAN exemplary and much need
ed step in the task of training Seamen
and furnishing the American merchant
marine with experienced and well
personnel"

after the war unless the minimum
food needs of Americans are met at
prices they can afford to pay.
I'VE believe that every effort must
be made to obtain substantial increases
in war food production. Every scrap
of food must be used effectively. Eat
ing habits can and should be adjusted
to wartime diets based on nutrition
standards necessary to maximum ma
tional strength in war production.
Labor Officials Sign
"These steps are fundamental. AS the
people appreciate their necessity and
adopt them. we will be laying the
basis for fulfilling our promised part
in helping alleviate hunger in liberated
areas. We must not lose the peace for

The statement said in part:

Food For Freedom believes that if
the American people know the truth
and the whole truth about the role of
food in this war, they will do their
share on the food front. They will see
the important part they can play in
shaping our national food policy. The
farmers and the housewives hold key
positions in the combat team on this
front. Therefore we plan to sponsor a
conference for consumers and later a
conference for producers and dis
tributOrS of food.

liminary to a. labor draft that will be
even worse
Enforced labor the executive board
declared. under any guse and at any
time is slave labor, wether temporary
or permanent. That is a lesson which
we in America ought to understand
better than any other people on earth"
Discussing at length the job freeze"
issue, the board said:
"The full significance of the so
called job freeze regulations of the
National War Manpower Commission
is becoming increasingly apparent as
time passes. \ year ago, at the Peoria
convention. when we had before us
the brief experience of certain regu-
latiOnS in two Industries i'm some west
ern states, the executive board eX-
pressed the opinion that the procedure
was unconstitutional as II matter of
law as we'll as impracticable aS II
means of maintaining and advancing
war production.
Since then. the freeze regulations
nave been extended to reach all parts
of the nation in one degree or another.
While the question of cOnstitutionalty
has not yet reached the courts, we do
know that the opinion we expressed a
year ago as TO its impracticability as
IL means of maintaining and improving
production was correct.
Most Menacing Challenge"
The system is not only unproduclive
for war purposes, but is also II most
menacing challenge to the freedom of
American labor.
The whole scheme Is based upon
an administrative edict giving to the
employer the power 10 hold the ewOrker
in his service under penalty of being
refused employment elsewhere. ''
"'rhe worker, of course, has Il so
called right Of appeal to the War
Manpower Commission if the employer
refuses to release him. AS relating to
the effect upon the whole body Of labor,
such appeals are of littI" consequence
other than to give emphasis to tn"
fact that the worker is turned over TO
the possession of his employer"
The convention recommended to the

Representative Gene Cox. fiery
Georgian, and Representative Will
Rogers. son of the late humorist,
nursed injured feelings-but no
bruises-today in calm contrast to
their quarrel on the House floor
yesterday.
Colleagues intervened to avert
threatened fisticuffs when Mr.. Cox
walking over to where Mr.. Rogers
was sitting, quoted him as saying
in a radio address that he had ac-
cepted a bribe and demanded an
apology
Obviously angry. the Georgian
threw his arms around the Califor-
mans head. Other nearby Repre-
sentatives at this point stepped in
to hold both men by the arms. Mr..
Cox few minutes later left the
| chamber
Bribe Charge Is Cited.
The young fellow" Mr.. Cox told
neWsmen, said over the radio that
l took bribe. Nobody can take
anything like that. 1 didn't take
poke at him. but l mussed him up.
1t didn't amount to anything
Mr.. Cox is 63 years old and Mr..
Rogers is 81
1t appeared today that the ex-
citement had died down. Mr.. Cox
declared that he was disposed to let
matters lie. leave the next move up
to the Californian.
Mr.. Rogers called the affair lust

nothing more than words were
exchanged
Mr.. Rogers Story.
From Mr.. Rogers came this ex-
planation of how the argument
started:
I'm sitting there listening to the
| debate he said. Mr.. Cox comes
over. He is not his usual calm,
deliberate self. I was unable to
get my explanation in. I'm still at
a loss as to what started all this
discussion.
L have mentioned Mr.. Cox in
some radio address. I expect to see
him in some calm moment and iron
this out in deliberate fashion. I've
been in violent arguments before
This is not as violent as some I've
been in
Mr.. Rogers said he had written
at one time or another" about Mr..
Cox in connection with a radio sta
ton license, but denied that he had
ever said Mr.. Cox took bribe.
Mr. Cox is chairman of a special
committee investigating the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
Last week Clifford J. Durr, FEC
member, filed petition asking Mr..
Cox's disqualification as a member
