Fired Across Sea


 Stockholm reports published in London said V-2's were being fired across the North Sea from bases on an arc stretching through the Neth- erlands and the fringe of Germany itself.
 A dispatch in the London Eve ming Standard said one base was believed situated at Utrecht, only 20 miles north of the present fight ing front in the Netherlands. The bomb was said to be fired vertically from 8 steel platform not much bigger than a tennis court.
 During actual launching opera tions," the Evening Standard said, "the ramp is constantly sprayed with jets of ice-cold water because as the rocket shoots into the air, heat develops which expands the steel frame of the ramp and bends it."
 The Evening Standard dispatch said va was believed produced in vast underground factories deep Tn Germany. Overseers and managers were Nazis, but the workers were said to be Russian, Pole and Cech- oslovak slave workers and ''politl- cally undesirable Germans.
 Colin Bednall, London Daily Mail aviation expert, said that trans atlantic rocket shells of up to lOO tons must now be regarded as a distinct possibility within five years
 One neutral report said the eX- treme range of V-2 is about 700 miles. Others said some launch ing sites had bene built in the Hartz mountains of Germany, about 41 miles from London.

 According to officials of the con- ference, the present meeting repre- sents ''the last of three clar stages of prparation for victory which must ach receive full attention if we are not to lose the peace. The first stage is well understood to be the military, under which we may now feel sure of our ability to deliver a knockout blow in unmistakable  fashion. The second stage, already entered at Dumbarton Oaks, is the diplomatic organization of peace loving nations. The, final stage, and equally essential to a durable peace, is the economic
 Reason For Farley,
 The conference was called, the sponsoring organizations explained, in recognition of two principles. s'The first is that there can be no permanent military peace in world of international economic conflict.

 6. Asked whether he had received a peace feeler from Germany, the president said no. and commented that the question sounded to him like a prediction inquiry.
 Let me be the first to ask you if you are going to run in 1948?" 8 reporter asked.
 MT. Roosevelt roared with laugh ter, saying he was asked the same question in 1940-or was it 1936?- but that at any rate it was hoary question.

around their necks and as soon as President Roosevelt started to talk the rain poured down harder than ever.
 The bandsmen struggled to pro- tect their drums, the radio experts tried to cover their machinery with their raincoats and hundreds of ban ners, bearing such slogans as "a United Nation for United Victory and we're united with Roosevelt and world peace" turned into rib- bons of wet cardboard.
 A soaking Marine who tried to climb the back of a granite lion in the Plaza fountain was chased off. Met By Cabinet
 President Roosevelt was met in- side the station by his cabinet and such stalwarts of his administra- tion as Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins in her fancy triangular storm proof hat, Secretary of Agri- culture Claude Wickard, Secretary of Commerce Jesse Jones, Postmast- CT General Frank Walker, Acting Secretary of State Edward R. Stet- tinius, Jr., Secretary of War Henry c. Stimson and Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes. s
 There was nothing secret about the Presidents homecoming, every radio station and newspaper carried the exact time of his arrival plus the exortations of the commissions urging the voteless citizens of the District of Columbia to turn out behind the steel cables and the cops on each side of Pennsylvania av- enue.
 Washington's weatherman, how ever, ruined hopes of 8 crowd of 5OO,OO0 when he turned on the eel estial faucets for the WetteSt day of the fall. It rained so long and so hard that veteran secret service agents said they were reminded not only of MT. Roosevelt's recent cam paign parade in New York, but also of his original inauguration in 1883 when almost the entire city was on the verge of drowning in it's efforts to see the new president.
 Thanks WelcOmers
 The four time president didn't say much to the crowds at Union 6tation-just thanked them for the 'very wonderful home coming" on a rainy morning. Then he asked Washington reporters not to as- sume that he wished to make Washington his permanent home.
 q want to thank you, especially the government workers, for what they are doing win the war;" he concluded. And when I say gov- ernor workers, I do not wish to exclude the rest of you, who make it possible for them to live here and work"
 The presidents automobile and the others in the procession then started for the White House through streets lined three and four deep.
 As the procession moved into Pennsylvania avenue-the historic route of presidents who have travel led it from inauguration ceremon- ies at the Capitol to the White House = cheers came from the crowds. MT. Roosevelt responded by waving to them.
 Many in the crowd were govern ment girls who carried umbrellas. They were more numerous at the White House end of Pennsylvania avenue.
 At the White House, members of the presidents staff waited in front of the south portico. AS the presi- dents car arrived, the clerical staff and servants cheered and shouted welcome home" The White House police were lined up on each side of the driveway and stood at at- tention until the president entered the White House.

 A Stockholm dispatch noted that Hitler had not appeared in public since June 30, although his name was affixed to the decree calling up all able-bodied Germans for the guerrilla defense of their homeland The story cited gossip among trav- elers from Germany that Hitler was dead, was interned after the July attempt on his life, or had suffered a complete collapse of nerves.

Between them, the ALP and the just-born Liberal party - an anti Communist, Union Labor or ganization contributed 769,099 votes to MT.

EXPUNGE NAME

An aftermath of the Dennis case
presented itself, shortly after the
expose, when at largely attend
ed meeting, a member called atten-
ton TO the fact that the charter
contained the name of F. w. Dennis.
After q discussion in which most
members expressed themselves, the
union representative was asked to
have the name removed from char
ter. even TO the extent of having
new charter reissued. After two
trips to Washington, and on pay
ment of $100 a new charter was
issued TO Federal Labor Union
1907, without the Objectionable
name. and the Kelly Union settled
down TO the business of convincing
the plant officials that the union
represented the majority Of en-
ployes. and was the rightful bar
gaining agent.
