people do not want war pictures.
Sixty per cent Of the people
interviewed Immediately after
Dec. 7. 1941, wanted war films.
Is per cent didn't care, Is per
cent said no. The percentages
are now reversed, with five
million more people attending
movies every week than in 1910.
A TITLE QUEERED ONE
Gallup shoppers also test the
appeal of film titles. Hollywood
once titled a film "Syncopation."
The poll revealed that 70 per
cent of the people didn't even
know the meaning Of the word.
The studio refused to change the
title. The picture crossed little.

He was worried about playing

Gallup discovered fans liked

there is none of the "happy

If this be the correct inter-

When he has met with re-

time, renewed his attacks at
other angles, frequently turning
his temporary setbacks into vic

cannot be said that the President

An Invasion Preview
Only few days before the landings
in France took place, we were privi-
lodged, more or less accidentally, to
take part in tiny preview, many
thousands of miles away, of what such
an invasion is like.
AS the guest of the u S. Navy, we
embarked on an overnight cruise on
an LCI-landing craft infantry
from the amphibious base at Solo
mons Island down the Chesapeake to
another amphibious base at Little
Creek.
1t was quite an adventure, even
though no hazards were involved.
Especially interesting was the conclu-
sion of the return trip the following
day. The ship drove right up on the
beach, threw over her landing ramps
and we walked dry-shod to the shore,
just as thousands of American troops
must have disembarked on the shores
of France.
AS result of our observations on
the trip, we would like to say few
nice things about the Navy, about the
men who operate her ships and about
the men who build them.
The trip was one Of many arranged
by the Incentives Division of the
Navy, under the direction of Admiral
Woodward, to give labor and manage
ment better idea of the purposes for
which the armed forces are using the

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

D-Day did not catch the American
Federation of Labor unawares. Just a
few hours before the flash on the in
vasion of Europe, AFL President Will
liam Green announced acceptance of
the stringent new manpower controls
developed by the War Manpower Com
mission as another of labor's volun-
tary sacrifices to help speed victory.
And Immediately after the landings in
France were broadcast, Mr.. Green is
sued an urgent call to all AFL affili-
ates to maintain uninterrupted pro-
duction and refrain from strikes until
Hitler is finally crushed
These swift actions gave incontro-
vertible evidence that the American
Federation of Labor means what it
says when it pledges all-out support
of the victory drive.
In the critical days now upon us, nc
worker who goes on strike or remains
on strike can consider himself a mem
ber in good standing of the American
Federation of Labor. Such irresponsi-
BILE behavior when victory in this wal
is at stake is reputation Of the loyal
and devoted service which millions OF
AFL workers are rendering to their
country in its hour of need.
Let's get on the job and stay on the

was the fierce pride shown by these
young men in their own particular
branch of the service, an indication of
top morale.
Surprisingly enough, postwar prob
lens are not engrossing the attention
of these Navy men to any appreciable
extent. They are not looking that far
ahead yet. Right now the furthest
horizon they can see is the victorious
end of the war. AS one young Navy
officer, returned from plenty of active
service in the Pacific expressed it, his
chief postwar ambition was to become
an "able-bodied civilian"
The ship we sailed on impressed us
as sturdy, if not palatial, craft. A
vessel of this kind, designed to carry
troops right into the thick of battle,
is highly expendable. AS long as the
ships are seaworthy, the Navy is sat
isfied. They are not meant to be fancy
or too comfortable. Nevertheless, the
crew appeared to be well taken care
of, especially in the matter Of food.
1t was revelation to see the vast
amount of food put away by those
boys at single meal.
Discipline board the Lei was
strict but informal. 1t was a honey
ship, free of unnecessary saluting
and waste motion. The commanding
officer, Lieutenant, j.g., appeared to
be under thirty himself, and the mem
bers of the crew were much younger.
From the brief sample we received
Of Navy life, we are convinced that
her men will use well and effectively
against the enemy the ships which
labor and management must produce
in full measure for the victory drive.

AFL FIGHTS new
NLRB PROPOSAL

Washington, D. C.-The American
Federation of Labor expressed en-
phatic opposition to a proposal by the
National Labor Relations Board that
employers be given free hand to
force unions into new elections almost
any time dispute arises.
The board is considering a new rule
to that effect and called hearing to
get the views of industry and labor.
Under the proposed regulation, an
employer could demand an election
when controversy arose involving
another Federal agency.
Thus, whenever the Cancellation
Service, or National War Labor Board
or other agency took jurisdiction of a
wage dispute between union an dem
ployer, the management could seize
the opportunity to challenge the
unions majority status and insist that
it be settled at the ballot box.
At present, the right to petition Tor
an election is confined to workers, ex-
cept in cases where two rival unions
are demanding recognition of an en-
ployer. In the latter case, the manage
ment can ask for vote.
''The American Federation of Labor
is absolutely opposed to the proposed
change in the rules" declared Joseph
A. Padway, general counsel for the
Federation. "The revision would
amount to a wide open invitation to
employers to duplicate the tactics of
Sewell Avery in the Montgomery
Ward case.
mo union, once it has won an cleo
ton, could be sure that it's right to
represent the workers would remain
long unchallenged. AS result, instead
of stable labor relations, there would
be constant turmoil. The attention
of workers would be diverted from
war production to election contests.
Employers would be encouraged to
try to break established unions, and
the war effort would be disrupted
rather than unified The board should
think twice before promulgating such
dangerous rule"

TO ALL MEDIA:

TO ALL MEDIA:
Because the Fifth War Loan, start
ing June IL, comes at a time when
there will be considerable discussion
of politics, candidates, and issues, it
might be well to restate the fact that
the War Bond campaign is completely
non-political
Just as invasion and the winning of
victory is everybody's job and respon-
sibility, SO is the promotion and sale
of War Bonds. Numbered among the
five million volunteer War Bond sales
men are people of all parties, races,
and creeds, with one common denomin-
ator-they are all true Americans.
We feel it important that there be
no misunderstanding as to the non
political status of the War Bond cam
paign. Consequently, we request that
the official Treasury newspaper ads,
radio transcriptions, outdoor panels
and magazines ads not be sponsored
by any one political candidate, COM
mittee or party.
Your cooperation in this matter will
be very much appreciated.
Sincerely,

PAPER SHORTAGE

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Some-
body ought to make survey, or take
a census - or maybe run a blood
count.
There's paper shortage. Stores ask
customers to bring their baskets in
order to save paper bags.
Newspapers ask readers to share
their papers with others.
But the propaganda mills keep on
grinding out the tripe.
Reams of it. Miles of it. Tons of it.
Any news desk will testify to this.
Mostly it's stuff that nobody prints or
wants. But it keeps coming.
Somebody ought to do something
about it.

because we are not certain to what
extent it is permissible to publish
such information.
But we don't think anyone will OBJ
ject to our reporting that the thous-
ands of young men whom we saw in
training at three of the amphibious
bases along the Chesapeake looked the
picture Of health. We talked to dozens
of them, on land and aboard ship.
Naturally some of them griped. No
man in uniform worth his salt doesn't.
But the thing that impressed us most

vast quantities of munitions being pro-

Navy's emphasis for some months has
been on the need for more landing
craft, it was particularly fitting that
one of these ships should be used to
give the representative Of the ma
tons production forces a better in
sight into why and how they are being
employed against the enemy.
