Mr.. Murray, who was here
to lecture before the Erskine
Club, spoke informally to the
CIO representatives. He spoke
Of the falsehoods and distortions
which are being used to undermine
the unions and create prejudice
against them, and referred speci-
fically to the publicity which dis
torts work stoppages and strikes
out of their true proportion
In contrast to the unfair pub
licity which he said was being di-
rected against the unions, Mr..
Murray pointed out that according
to the statistics of the United
States Department Of Labor the
regularity Of work achieved by
labor was 1892 per cent Of perfec-
tion. ARMY and Navy officers
whom | questioned about service
records, when asked by me if their
commands could measure up to
that had to answer no." said Mr..
Murray.
Asks CIO Representatives
Turning the question upon his
listeners, Mr.. Murray asked them
if they could measure up to this
record personally, and he admitted
that he himself would be forced
to answer no.
Emphasizing labor's production
record, the CIO president said that
labor's record had never before
been equalled anywhere, and he
pointed out that of the small per-
centage of irregularity which did
exist only a small fraction was
really due to labor itself.
Conference Makes Plans
Plans were made by the confer
ence for the coming political cam
paigns. President Jack Kroll OF
the Ohio CIO Council presided over
the meeting and sounded the key
note when he told the representa-
tives, "We have no desire to cap
ture either of the two major polit-
ical parties or to form third
party. Our desire is to educate
our people on how to be good
American citizens" Pre- d ent

END OF YUCOSLAV
QUARREL ESEEN

LONDON, March g. R The
Yugoslav family quarrel between
the cabinet of King Peter and
the forces of Marshal Josip Broz
nearing etaon shrdlu cmfwyp sh
(Tito) appeared tonight to be
nearing solution with the arriv-
al in London of two of Peters
ministers, Two Cicin, Finance, and
M. Grisogongo.
They came at the urgent invi-
tation'' of the British government,
and others-possibly including the
young king, himself-are expect
ed shortly for further conferences.
There are indications that unless
the Cairo regime agrees to back
the Partisan forces of Tito and
rids itself of its anti-lito elements,
it may forfeit Allied recognition.
A solution is considered likely
either if Peter bitches his cabinet
and joins Tito, or if he reshuffles
his cabinet to inclus Partisan
members and eliminates Premier
Bozhidar Puric and Gen. raja Mi
hailovic.

Intellectual Japanese attempts to

miralty group were battered down
by American troops who have
killed at least 1880 Of the defend

Macarthur reported today.
A more powerful attempt by a

out from Talasea failed to keep
United States Marines from con-

came Monday against Marines
who landed five miles away on
Willaumez Peninsula, less than
ITO miles from Rabaul.
Sixth Army troops advanced

Fly protested that his agency was
in the clear, that it worked with
the military authorities Though
1941 and spread a radio detection
network over the whole area with
out finding any clandestine opera
tons.
A Navy academy graduate, Fly
said radio intelligence would have
been extremely valuable to the
Japanese fleet but that it was not
imperative. u. S. task forces strike
successfully without such short
wave aid from within the enemy's
lines, he pointed out.
Miller limited that the FEC gave
a U. S. task force in Alaskan wa
tiers wrong information about the
location of japanese combat ships
with unfortunate results. He asked
Fly if he knew what happened to
the group of American destroyers
and light cruisers. The chairman
said he knew nothing about the
incident, and classed it with the
other charges which he described
as funny if they weren't so se-i-
ous."
The whole Pearl Harbor situa-
ton at the time of the attack is
now the subject of a new Navy
report which is being put togeth-
er, Magnuson disclosed. He didn't
know, he said, when it will be COM
pleted.

GAS Use
IS NOT EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, March g. F -
If the Nazis choose to use poison
gas, American military men think
# may be employed first against
any Allied attempt to land lnva-
sion forces in western Europe.
In general, the War Departments
at Washington and London incline
to the belief that the Germans Will
not try again the weapon they used
in World War l, this view being
predicated apparently on the be-
lief that the Allies are equipped to
beat the enemy at his own game.
But there are experts in gas war
fare who look upon the chance for
use of toxic gases as at least $3.50.
Their thought is this:
With the war going against him,
Hitler might, in desperation, de-
eide on gas, particularly to aid in
repelling invasion.
First, he may reason, correctly
or incorrectly, that if he uses lethal
gas only against troops, the Allies
would react in kind, turning it only

WASHINGTON, March g. Up -
japanese workmen employed at
the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard may
have supplied the enemy fleet with
the vital information which made
the Dec. 7, 1871 attack so success
full, a House committee was told
today.
The possibility that the Japanese
obtained their information on the
disposition of the ships in the har-

source was suggested at hearings
of the LEA committee investi-
eating the Federal Communlca-

FINLAND REPLIES
TO PEACE TERMS
Answer Believed To Have
Requested Opportunity
For Negotiation

STOCKHOLM, March 8.-P)-
Finland has formally replied to
Russia's peace terms, it was reli-
ably reported tonight, and Swedish
circles speculateo that the an
swer probably asked for an op-
portunity to negotiate such ticklish
points as the internment of Ger
men troops now within Finnish
borders.
The Finnish governments note
was dispatched to Moscow yester-
day. creditable source said, af
ter it was prepared for delivery
last Friday and then held up, pre-
sumably to incorporate changes.
The note was believed carefully
phrased to avoid any break in
contact between Helsinki and
Moscow.
Both Swedes and Films here ex-
pressed the opinion that Finland
would seek to negotiate the Ger
man problem, which Finland has
said is impractical so long as the
Norwegian back door is open, and
questions involved in the Soviet
demand for restoration of the 1910
peace treaty, which would entail
yielding Viipuri and the demobi-
lization of the Finnish army.
The Stockholm Aftonbladet said
earlier that Richard Lindstrom,
Swedish editor of the Morgon It'd
ningen, had talked with Russian
legation officials on the armistice
terms and was expected to go to
Helsinki. There had been specula-
ton that he might be playing the
role of an intermediary.
The Finnish press lately has fol-
lowed a more modified tone after
the first, fierce attacks on the
terms, which some papers char
