EBCO Wants Your Post War Plans Suggestions

We have not yet received many suggestions from employees con- cerning likely postwar projects for this company. Although the com pany has a number of worthwhile postwar projects under way, they will be glad to receive and give every careful consideration to fur ther suggestions from any em- ployee. The tremendous facilities available at this plant should be used to provide maximum peace time employment Full coopera- tion of Labor and Management, however, will be necessary to make this possible, and it is hoped that every employee will feel free to send to the Labor nagement Committee suggestions which he has good reason to believe would be logical" for the Electric Boat Company. It is important, of course, that the products suggested have a permanent or continuing market and that our equipment and skillS are generally adaptable to their production.
 Suggestions of this type require a very considerable amount of time, and frequently considerable amount of money, for proper in- vestigation. It is therefore hoped that persons making the sugges- tionS will do so because they be- 1ieve that they know reasons why Q given project should be of value to this company.
 Suggestions of the "Why don't we do so and so" type should not be sent in unless the person mak- ing the suggestion is prepared to show what he believes to be some good reasons why the company should consider the matter.
 All suggestions that seem to have genuine possibilities will have careful consideration by this Con- mittee and will be processed as far as may be necessary through regular channels depending upon the apparent merit of the sugges- tion. Acceptable suggestions will be recognized and rewarded as usual.
 USE YOUR SUGGESTION BOX REGULARLY.

Corp. StOrey-B Bishop
 Awarded Bronze Cross

Corp. Richard Storey Bishop, son of Mrs. DeLana Storey Bishop of 258 Thames Street, Groton has been awarded the Bronze Cross for meritoriouS service to his Nation in the 77th Reconnaissance Divi- sion'S operations against Guam, ac- cording to word received by his brother, Rowland Bishop, Secretary to the Union.
 According to this citation, Corp. Richard Bishop with three com panions overcame NipponeSe Uap) Guards to release 700 SaipaneSe prisoners from a concentration camp. The Saipanese after greet ing them in a warm fashion by nearly shaking their arms out by the roots, and embracing the four American boys fled with them to the hills. A native 'quisling" in- terpreter for the Japs threw him. self down at the Americans feet and crying out for mercy to save himself from the fate the JapS had met, declared that he was a most "exce1lent and perfect American citizen" according to- Corp. Bish- op. who felt that America could well do without that type of all legiance. The Saipanese prisoners, who had been half starved and ill used by their Jap captors who had made slaves of them, were fed well by the Americans and armed with American guns they proved to be of great assistance in driving the Jap forces from Guam.
 Corp. Bishop entered the army early in 1942 from Houston. Texas, where he had been President of the Longshoremen's Union.

Deer Is Higher This Year!
By Charles Chapman

The hunting season opens this week and the farmers sure can look for lot of the Electric Boat boys at this time of the year. This is the time the city feller gets a lot from the farmer for nothing, and it Is the only time he comes out to see his old friend, the farm CT.
 That city slicker can go out now and shoot all the game he can carry home, cut wire fences, knock down stone walls, get free cider or free milk and enjoy him self to his hearts content, but let the farmer call at his friend, the city hunters house and see what he gets.
 Let him ask said hunter to buy a cord of wood or few bushels of vegetables, for canning. The answer is, 'I always buy from my grocers, or T don't burn wood" or My wife never does any canning, she doesn't know how"
 I wonder when the farmer will wake up and POST HIS LAND and send these city hunters to the State stocked hunting grounds? It's time we, the farmers, shot little of the game we've fed all the summer on the garden vegetables that the City Slicker Hunter would not buy from us.
 Dear deer! DEER, DEER!

BRICKER SOUNDS
SCHOOL WARNING
BY E. E. EASTERLY

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Oct. 28.-
RAGov. John w. Bricker tonight
topped off a strenuous one day
campaign through the homestate of
his rival for the vice-presidency
with a. note of caution against fed
eral domination of education"
The republican candidate assert
ed that the New Deal wants to
interfere with local administration
and control of education just as
it has done in other fields.
In a prepared text released by
his campaign staff, he added, 1--WE
must not under any guise of need,
open the way for federal DONNA
ton of education. The social
theories of Sidney Hillman, an
Earl Browder, Rex Tugwell
should not be foisted upon our
public school system"
The Ohio governor delivered
eight speeches today, one in La
mar, birthplace of Sen. Harry S.
Truman, the democratic nominee
for vice president.
Presenting that President Roose-
welt should be reelected to a
fourth term, Bricker said in his
Springfield address do you think
that the PAC would sanction the
spending of federal money on ed
ucation without debating what
should be taught?"
He declared that the PAC had
singled out for malicious attack"
the 1886, 1000 school board members
in the United States by circulating
cartoons picturing them as 'the
henchman of American business
interests, taking their orders to
prevent the schools of the nation

The Germans also intermittent
ly shelled the city of Luxembourg

situation suggested that the COM

With a great victory within their
grasp, the Canadian First and
British Second armies were racing

From west to east they scored
these successes:
Canadian infantry crossed the

bank and reached to within seven
miles of junction with the forces
expanding a bridgehead on the is
lands southeast coast.
On the mainland, the Germans
abandoned without a fight the
anchor of their defense line at Ber-
gen OPP Zocn, which the Canadians
quickly occupied. Bergen OPP Zoom
historically called ''the key to Hol-
land, has repulsed numerous as
saults in the past 400 years, but
this time it fell without a shot.
Fastening northward, British and
Polish units under Canadian army
command were within a mile of
Roosendaal, which is ten miles be-
low the Willemstad ferry crossing
of the broad Hollandsch dep, one
of the Rhine's seward outlets.
The road hub of Breda was be-
ing approached by converging Can
adam and Polish units, while seven
miles. eastward the British cut the

Tilburg itself fell to British Tom

TRUMAN SAYS ALL
KNOW F. R.'SSTAND

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. o.
Ex-senator Harry S. Truman
Democratic vice presidential can
didate, declared here tonight that
call of the world would interpret
a defeat of President Roosevelt
"as victory for our isolation
lists"
"You know the President by mis-
actions" he said in prepared ad-
ress to a Democratic rally.
"All of the world knows where
he stands, and all of the world
would interpret a defeat Of t b z
President as a victory for our iso-
lationists."
Truman said ne planned to con-
centrate the remaining days of the
campaign to a reiteration Of his
challenge to Thomas E. Dewey, Re-
publican standard bearer, to IRE
pudiate" eight Republican 'isola-
tionist'' senators seeking re-elec-
ton.
He came here tonight after brief
appearances at Fall River and
New Bedford earlier in the day.
Truman told reporters aboard his
special car he thought the smaller
United Nations Ought to be rep
resented at the peace table and
ought to have equality of treat
ment with the big four, although
the larger nations will have to as
sumo the larger responsibility for
enforcement of the peace"
Smaller countries, he asserted,
should have the same standing in
an association of nations "as Ne
vada and Delaware for instance,
hive in the union of the United
States"
In his prepared speech tonight,
Truman said the Republicans have
renominated eight senators whose
public utterances and voting rec
ords in the Senate brand them as
isolationists.'
He previously described the eight
as Senators Taft, Ohio; Nye, North
Dakota; Tobey, New Hampshire;
Danaher, Connecticut; Reed, Kan
sas; Millikin, Colorado; Wiley, Wis
consin, and Davis, Pennsylvania.

Admit Serious Turn

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.-lRE~
The Japanese in a radio broadcast
today reported that the situation
has taken a serious turn for them
in the Philippines because the
Americans were pouring in rein
forcements at rapid rate.
Arrival of between 20 to 80 more
Americon transports in Leyte gull
yesterday was reported by the
broadcast, recorded by the Fed
eral Communications Commission.
The Nippon broadcast said that
the Americans had been able to
restore "all airfields lying within
the Tacloban and Dulag areas on
Leyte island and were trying
desperately to construct more air
fields"
The Japanese inferred that they
were outclassed in the air. They
said an average of 300 American
planes raided undisclosed targets
in the Philippines Thursday and
yesterday.

FEB States Position
 OnShipyardAppeal

At a special conference between the Union Executive Committee and the Electric Boat Company management held last Friday, O. P. Robinson, general manager of the Electric Boat Company, en- phatically informed Union spokes- men that the Electric Boat Com pany was not, in any way, par tlcipating in the announced appeal by the Shipbuf1ders Council of America against the Atlantic Coast standards established by the Ship building Commission of the War Labor Board.
 The Union was assured that the Company will cooperate In every way for immediate fully retroac- tive approval of all wage rates established in the new agreement and which the Union and Com pany have jointly sought ratifica- ton for.
 As a result of the Company talk ing this position, all workers can rest assured that approval of the Electric Boat Wage Agreement will not be subjected to addition al delay by the appeals of other shipyard employers who are re- sisting establishment of the new rates in their dispute cases with the Unions having bargaining rights in other yards.
 Workers here are now in an ex- tremely favorable position be- cause of the wisdom and good judgment of local union leaders in working out a contract settle ment, and having 1t submitted to the War Labor Board as an ap- proval of a voluntary wage ad- justmefit instead of dispute case.
The sub., 1944-03-30

w. L. B. in adopting the Atlantic Coast wage rate standards.
 Pending the adoption of these standards, the Shipbuilding Com mission has held up approval of every wage contract in every ma- jor East Coast shipyard.
 The announcement that employ CTS had decided to oppose the standards established by the Ships building Commission through ap- peal and otherwise has raised considerable speculation as to what delay may be caused In final ap- proval of the pending wage agree ments.
 It Is believed that this action may result in many work stop pages along the whole East Coast where there has already been con- siderable unrest, reaching almost to the explosive stage on account of the delay in the approval of new wage agreements. In almost every shipyard, the old contracts expired in June, 1943, and work CTS have continued at work with the expectation of retroactive ap- proval for all wage increases.
 This latest action Is not expect ed to delay or influence in any way the local wage agreement which is pending, because the Electric Boat Company and the Union filed a joint application for approval. The pending approval is therefore based on voluntary action by the com pany in contrast to other wage agreements which are pending be- fore the commission as dispute cases.
