One of the Government men en-
deavoring to end the strike said Mr.
Majors unconditional return to
work" attitude was not helping the
situation.
Mr.. Mills said that the only issue
which has up to this time prevented
a return to work is a request of the
union officials that the company as

be penalized.
Company Has Disciplinary System.
Mr. Major has consistently re-
fused to give any such assurance to

said.
Mr.. Mills explained that the COM
pany has a disciplinary system of
entering "reprimands" OH the rec

rules. He said there had been some
trouble last year and the resulting
reprimands on the mems records
had cost them vacation time and

Signed Waiver in 1943.
Admiral Kimmel said he signed
that waiver August 27, 1943, after
receiving suggested waiver which
Mr. Knox requested him to sign and
which read as follows:
"I, Husband E. Kimmel, rear ad-
miral, U. S. NJ, retired, hereby agree
on my honor as an officer and a
gentleman, that I will not plead the
statue of limitations in bar of my
trial by general court martial for
any alleged offenses I may have
committed on or before December 7,
1941, should my trial be held during
the present war or six months there
after and that I will not permit
any attorney or other person on my
behalf to make such plea.
Il make this agreement voluntar-
lily, in recognition of the fact that
during the present war and for a
period thereafter it will be impracti-
cable to obtain the attendance be-
fore general court-martial of wit
nesses who would be important for
my defense as well as witnesses re-
quired by the prosecution.
Measure Also Covers Others.
The House measure, proposed by
Representative Short, Republican, of
Missouri is aimed specifically at
Admiral Kimmel and Gen. Short,
but also includes any other officers
and civilians who may be involved.
Some members of the House COM
mittee objected to the direction of a
court-martial, Representative Cox,
Democrat, of Georgia contending
that the story I have been told" is
that Kimmel and Short were not re-
sponsible for the situation in Hawaii.
He said the commanders were
simply following orders"
A motion to strike out the "di-
rection" clause was defeated, the
committee deciding to thresh this
question out during a tWo-hour de-
bate in the House Thursday.
/ Mr.. Short. testifying in behalf of
the bill, commented that the "di-
rection' clause was necessary in his
opinion.
Would you leave this up to War
and Navy Department officials who
themselves might have been derelict
in their outy?" ne asked.
Calls for Justice.
Mr.. Short said, I'm no sadist,
don't want to hang or shoot a man,
and if these men are innocent they
should be exonerated."
Mr.. Short said he was for an
immediate court martial, but the
armed services were against it and
he would take the next best thing
an extension so that there could
be one eventually"
Il know Admiral Kimmel is
anxious to be tried, Mr.. Short said.
And believe that Gen. Short who
is not a relative of the legislator
is just an anxious to tell his story"
Mr.. Cox interjected there that
there are some people who think
they have been more sinned against
than they have sinned"
Mr.. Short added that IF they are
guilty they should be punished and
in that event they certainly should
not be getting $4,000 a year in the
meantime"
Admiral Kimmel and Gen. Short,
both retired from active service aft
er the Pearl Harbor attack, are re-
ceiving that amount In retirement

Disputes Settled;
New Strike Flares
BY the Associated Press.

DETROIT, May 29.-Michi-
gan's labor crisis eased today
with an end to the Chrysler
rebel" strike in Detroit and res
toration of operations at Sagi-
nav plants of General Motors,
which had been crippled by a
fight over no-smoking rule.
Some 1900 workers had been af-
fected.
AS peace was established in these
two instances, however, new war
plant strike took place in Detroit,
while bakery truck drivers in De-
troit and drug workers at Parke,
Davis g. Co. here continued their
walkouts. Altogether 4,400 men and
women were involved.
The new strike closed the main
plant of the Federal Mogul Co.,
halting production of engine bear
ings. Representative of Local 202,
United Automobile Workers (CIO)
said $500 men quit in protest of
the firing of two union stewards.
No Explanations Given.
Reasons for the discharge we're
not disclosed. The company made
no immediate statement.
Because of the drivers strike at
Detroit's 46 wholesale bakeries con-
sumers f1ocked to small neighbor-
hood bakeries for bread. Block-long
waiting lines were reported at some
bakeries and in one case police
helped to keep order.
The end of the short-lived rebel
lion of UAW-CIO unionists at
Chrysler's Highland Park plant
brought return to work Of 4,50O
persons. The strikers had fought
orders from the unions interna-
tional Executive Board to stay at
work and their pickets had closed
the plant last week.
Reopening of the Chevrolet trans
mission plants of General Motors
in Saginaw returned $500 men and
women to the job.
The decision to permit reopening
of the Chrysler plant was reached
at a stormy mass meeting yesterday
of 500 members of Chrysler Local
49o of UAW, who voted three to one
to heed the warning of International
Union President r. j. Thomas that
such incidents as the Chrysler
pickets' demonstration had inf1amed
public opinion against the union.
There were no pickets at plant gates
this morning.
Says Survival Is Threatened.
Referring to the Chrysler rebel
lion," Mr.. Thomas asserted in
statement that "our union cannot
survive if the Nation and our soldiers
believe that we are obstructing the
war effort"
p william jenkins, who was removed
from Office as president OF Local
400 after a previous strike at High
land Park plant had made l1,700
employees idle in the seven Chrysler
plants, said the local had assurance
from the international union that
It would "do all in its power to
bring about reinstatement of Is
discharged workers." who were fired
two weeks ago for ejecting from the
premises three company supervisors
Some of the 16 later were accused
as leading pickets at the gates of
the plant in a renewal of the dis
.pute last Friday. The plant was
closed Saturday when less than 100
employees were able to get through
the picket lines, making 4,500 idle.
! A. few employees reported at mid
night last night. Company spokes-
men said some workers, expecting
picket lines this morning, had left
the city and production was not ex-
pected to reach normal until
Wednesday because of the Memorial

18-year-old Seattle youth who
eight years ago was a member of

is ready to take a crack at the
Axis which one day hoped to

The former Hitler youth, Eu-

Holzschuh was adopted into
the Nazi youth order in 1886 af-
ter he and his mother visited
Germany to settle her father S
estate. The lad was required to
wear leather shorts and brown
shirt which was regulation at
tire for all school boys from IL

The Seattle boy participated in
bayonet and rifle drills and
spoke at other schools on the life
of American school boys. His

him to join the Luftwaffe as an

COP Hopes to Build Record

groups steering committee, OF
which he is chairman.
While Taft declined TO discuss
details. it was learned that the
group hopes TO frame legislation
on such subjects as postwar
taxes, social security, agricul-
ture, foreign policy and labor.
II would present these TO the
new Congress with almost solid
Republican support.
The COP Senators lack the
votes to put over any of their
measures without Democratic
help. They will have 38 seats
in the new Senate, gain of one.
But Senator Wherry of Nebras-
ka, the Republican whip, said
he thought it was about time
the minority laid down specific
program of its own even if il
failed of enactment.
"We have been sitting back
for the last IL years waiting for
the Democrats to hang them
selves and it hasn't worked pol
itically," he said. Il believe we
ought to sponsor a list of con-
structive proposals so that the
people will know what the Re
publicans in Congress stand for. >"
Wherry's views were shared
by Senator Bushfield (R-SD).
Under the late S N O T
Charles McNary of Oregon,
minority leader until his death
last year, the Senate Republicans
adopted the strategy of enlistins
Democrats who did not agree
with the administration to spon-
sor restrictive amendments TO
New Deal legislation. Then
they lined up behind those
amendments.
This policy underwent some
changes when the minority was
reorganized with Senator Van
denberg (R-Mich) as chairman
of the Republican conference,
Taft as steering committee head,
Senator White (R-Me) as acting
floor leader and Wberry as whip.
But most of the solidarity that
developed was directed toward
sharpshooting administra o n
proposals, rather than backing
any rounded legislative program.

Educator Claims
IIIiteracy High
Among Students
ICAGO = W.Pl RELIGION

CHICAGO - (U.R Religion
should be made part of the cur
riculum of the public schools be-
cause students are becoming al
most totally illiterate" concern
ing religion, DR.. Charles Clayton
Morrison, editor of the Christian
Century, told 5000 teachers at
meeting of the Illinois Educa-
ton Assn.
DR.. Morrison deplored the
cleavage of religious training
from the schools at the time the
public education system was or
ganized in the 1905.
1T is now becoming clear that
this division of function between
the public school and the
churches has not been a sue
cess" he said. The church has
practically ceased to exercise
any effective educational func-
ton with youth. The result is
that the curve Of religious liter
acy and of respect for religious
values has been steadily down
ward for more than three-quar-
ters of century.
Unless way. can be found to
incorporate religious instruction
in the public school system as
an integral part of its curriculu-
lum, see no hope of arreSting
the downward curve of our cul-
ture toward secularism.
Morrison said that guilt for
our anomalous education plight
must be laid at the door of the
churches because of their Sectar-
ianism. Each sect Identifies re-
ligion with its own special creed
and rather than allow a rival in
depreciation taught in the public
school, it insists that religion
be ruled out altogether"
