Strikes Alarm

By LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of FcoRomics, y. \. Uni,ersity
As now seems likely 10 be- the
case for some weeks ahead. indus
trial activity held about steady
last week. War costs as Judged
by government spending declined
a little further Al the same
time, the crisis OF tho European
war being al hand, the govern
ment authorities are refusing 10
loosen up on civilian production.
This keeps industrial activity on a
sort Of dead center pending the
development OF the invasion.
Steel production dipped slightly
last week. partly due 10 the ef-
feet Of sporadic strikes. ON the
other hand. production of paper
paperboard, and lumber picked up
little. Railway car loadings
Just about held their own, con-
SiderIng the season.
Perhaps the least favorable
symptom was the/rather general
let-down in. orders for heavy
manufactures. This tendency app
peared not only in the steel
industry bat Also in paper and
lumber, where orders fell behind
production. This shows consider
able uncertainty at the moment.

ATTRACT ATTENTION

In connection with industrial
activity, the epidemic of strikes
is attracting more and more at
tention. This is so true that
finally. and all too belatedly the
Go leaders have become alarmed,
and have issued an appeal to
their members to behave 1t is to
be hoped that this appeal will take
effect.
A thoughtful person. however,
must note that II is not based on
feeling either of patriotism or
of guilt. 1t is based on fear that
the public will rise and insist that
the Go outfit be put out of bust
ness. Said the union leader, if
we don't quit striking, Congress
will clamp down on us.
The president :of the JAW GER
tainly said something when he
warned his union that either we
set our own house in order at
once, cease all wildcat strikes, or
we will face an attack such as no
union can withstand"

Marine SurUiUeS
Crash of Plane

MARINE CORPS AIR DEPOT,
Miramar, Calf, May 24-One of the
most amazing stories to come out of
the South Pacific-the story Of a
miraculous escape from a pilotless,
blazing plane-was told by Master
Technical Sergeant Charles T.. Wood,
Marine Corps aerial photographer,
upon his arrival here.
Wearing the Purple Heart ribbon
for the severe burns he received in
that flying inferno, the 26-year- old
Leatherneck of Mercer Island,
Wash, has returned to the United
States after five months of hospitali-
cation in the Solomon Islands area.
Plane Hit BY Burst.
Sgt Wood, in relating his most re-
cent brush with death, confessed
that he had been living on borrowed
time, having escaped an earlier
crash uninjured, and on another oc-
casion having missed a scheduled
hop which failed to return.
While serving with a torpedo
bomber squadron, Sgt Wood was
swapping action pictures of the
bombing Of Kolombangara airfield
last September when a burst of
anti-aircraft fire set his ships en-
CINE afire. The shell caused terrific
blaze.
1.-THE skipper radioed back that we
were on fire and that / was to pre-
pare to jump. He pulled out of the
dive to gain altitude before we hit
the silk" the sergeant said. when
we got up there, he was forced to
bail out Immediately because of the
sheet of flames which had now sur
rounded the front cockpit. l was
perhaps more surprised than scared
to find that my parachute had been
burned by the leaping flames.
"Blood plasma saved my life, de-
spite the numerous bruises and
burns about my legs and arms" he
declared. ut took total of II pints,
over period of time, to put me in
shape for the trip home"
Three Are Trapped.
"As the smoke and the fire filled
my compartment and trapped the
two aerial gunners and myself in
the plane, the pilotless bomber went
into crazy spins. l prayed for un-
consciousness, since death seemed
inevitable, as the plane went into a
dive toward the water.
"By some quirk of fate, instead OF
smashing into a thousand pieces, the
plane leveled off about 30 feet above
the surface and made a perfect belly
landing"

Louis Prima, the gravel-throated
trumpeter, who comes to Franklin
Court Auditorium on Wednesday,
June 2, with his swell bunch OF
music-makers, has built himself up
to one of the foremost "in person
band favorites in the land by his
strictly ION the beam" rhythm, his
nonsensical clowning and the all
around entertainment value offered
by his organization.
A unique combination of top
drawer modern swing idiom and old
style N'Orleans jazz has made Louis
music a must" for dancing feet and
for those who just-like-to listen, as
well. Louis torrid trumpetting adds
no little to the enjoyment of both
