Northwest War Plants
Menaced by Strike
By the Associated Press.

Ey the ASeoe1Ated ProS1.
SEATTLE, Jan. 18.-A foundry
workers strike deadline brought the
Pacific Northwest its most serious
wartime labor crisis today.
Spokesman for 5000 members of
the Molders and Foundry Workers
Union (AFD said picketing of 10
Oregon and Washington plants, pro-
ducers OF vital war materials for 9TH
er war industries, would start at 8
o'clock this morning in a demonstra-
ton against regional War Labor
Board wage ruling.
A statement from the operators
organization expressed the belief the
dispute would result In q work stop
page by approximately 10000. The
additional 1000 are employed in
shops at plants where boundaries
also operate. Neil Pardo, union Sec
retary in Seattle, said the picketinS
would involve the shops also.
The shadow of possible Army in
tervention hung over the situation.
DR.. George Bernard Noble, region
al War Labor Board chairman, said
1T is inconceivable that the plants
should be allowed to remain idle"
The strike vote was taken orig
inslly October 2S. but action was
held in allegiance until after the re-
gional WLB decision, which rejected
the union demand of an Scent
hourly wage increase in the journey
mems 81 20 scale. The board grant,
ed pay increases OF from ~ to I
cents In lower brackets, with q maxi
mum 1o-cent hourly premium pro-
vided for up to Is per cent Of en-
ployes In plant, on a basis to be

Churchill
Continued From First Page.

Commons came as a dramatic sur
prise to the MP's. for there had
been no inkling that he was coming
home soon.
Carrying a large bundle of docu-
ments, he suddenly emerged from
the shadows behind the Speakers
chair and walked briskly to his seat.
Cheers thundered spontaneously
and the members sprang to their
feet.
The Prime Minister, back in Brit
ain for the first time since his
conferences with President Roose-
velt and Premier Stain in Teheran,
reached London about 10 am. (5
am. Eastern War Time) after a
journey from North Africa and went
Immediately to Commons, which re-
assembled after its holiday recess.
His arrival, terminating his long
est wartime absence from the coun-
try, was kept semiprivate and was
devoid Of fanfare. Few Britons, in
deed, were aware that the Prime
Minister'S recovery was sufficiently
advanced to permit his leaving the
warm climate of North Africa to
return to Britain.
He appeared in top spirits and
smiled broadly as the small crowd
at the station greeted him with
a burst of cheering. 1t was noted,
however, that he was not smoking
his usual long, black cigar. He was
wearing his Trinity House" uni
form of black peajacket with
yachting cap set at a jaunty angle.
Ten weeks had elapsed since Mr..
Churchill left Britain to meet Mr..
Roosevelt and Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek at Cairo, from where he
and the President went on to
Teheran to meet Stain.
The first announcement of his
illness came on December 16 when
Deputy Prime Minister AttlAe in
formed the House of Commons that
the Prime Minister had developed

lung.
Mr.. Churchill soon rallied, how
ever, and quickly regained his
strength while convalescing at Mar.

But 1t was regarded as so fan
tastic and so obviously intended to
make mischief between the Allies
that it was ignored" he wrote.
When 1t received publicity in so
influential a quarter as Pravda,
however, the British government at
once decided to deny it oricially and
to bring this denial directly to the
notice Of the Soviet government"
The News -Cchronicle, referring to
both the Russian-P Polish border dis.
pute and the Pravda report, said
that since the Teheran and Cairo
conferences "a number Of untoward
events have occurred to cause the
world to wonder whether the United
Nations are really so united"
The Yorkshire Post expressed
hope that Russian authorities will
find themselves able on their part
to give assurance that the Pravda
story came to be inserted as a result

Senator LANCER said that under
date of November 16, Mr. Briggs
wrote Mr.. Sparks that the Secre-
tary has had word from Texas, the
burden Of which is that the word
Alamo will be very embarrassing,
and the boss has asked that it be de-
leteo."
He (the boss says if it is used.
he is afraid DR.. Lee won't stand up
now." the alleged letter continued.
He is working on that now; also to
get the letter himself which l think
Will be made easier as soon as you
give me assurance that Alamo won't
be used
One of the alleged letters told of
an alleged conference between Mr..
Briggs and DR.. Lee. Senator LANCER
quoted Mr.. Briggs as writing as early
as october Is:
Il had my meeting with DR.. Um-
phrey Lee, and I am inclosing here
with a copy of the Hopkins letter
which read and was assured by DR..
Lee that the original would be made
available for our use within the next
week or 10 days. 1t will come
through those sources I disclosed
to you"
Unable to Get Letter"
1t was on October 9 that Mr..
Briggs allegedly wrote to Mr.. Sparks
that he had been unable to get the
original letter, but that it will be
here next week on the word of Mr..
Phillips, who Is coming East and
will bring it,"
Other correspondence read by
Senator LANCER included a letter on
November "a asserting:
"The heat has been put on the
Secretary from the Southwest.
When it was learned that use had
been made Of the Hopkins letter,
there was great hullabaloo and much

OF Moscow outline the framework
OF the structure which is being built
by history. For, besides reaffirminp
the principle, this declaration is
specific"
Mr.. Hull communicated with
Moscow at the request Of the Polish
government in London.
Ready to Mediate on Poles.
The United States is ready only
to mediate the re-establishment of
diplomatic relations between the
Soviets and Poles, though the Polish
government requested a mediation
OF all outstanding issues between
the two governments-includthg the
boundary question. The admins
tration has consistently taken the
line that territorial questions should
be put of until the wars end.
The division between the Russian
and the Anglo American view of
the Polish request was seen in the
reports of approval which London
gave to the Polish governments
statement on Friday about its dis
position to come to an understand
ing with the Russians through
American British intermediation
and the criticism of the Polish gov
ernment's statement as a rejection
of the Soviet Unions offer to nego-
tiate a new Soviet-Polish border on
the basis of the Curzon Line.
The issue posed by Secretary
Hulls note to Moscow on the Polish
problem is to be made a question
for collaborative settlement.
Polish Statement Released.
The response which the Soviet
makes to the Hull note Is expected
to illuminate the question Of
whether Russia is willing under
any circumstances to deal with the
Polish government in London, or
whether 1t plans to invite the Poles
to choose a government of their
own when the Red armies reach
territory which the Soviets regard
as Polish.
The American Government in
tends to continue recognizing the
Polish government in London what
ever action the Soviets pursue. An
outright demand by the Soviets
that the Polish government dismiss

tionable to Moscow would not be

mand would amount to interven-

count of its arrival:
The Phillips letter came in lust
as the boss was leaving to take a
train He asked for per-
mission to take it with him-wanted
to show it to some one he expects
to see while away"
In commenting on this and other
letters Senator LANCER told the Sen

Phillips got the alleged Hopkins
letter from DR.. Lee.

LANCER said Mr.. Briggs wrote to Mr.
Sparks indicated, the Senator said
that Mr.. Briggs had difficulty get

Afraid of Stalling.
The day after the November, 1943
election, Senator LANCER said, Mr.
Briggs wrote Mr.. Sparks that he
had discussed "our matter again
with the Secretary and he confessed
that he was afraid there was some
stalling going on"
Senator LANCER told the Senate
that Mr.. Ickes apparently lent the
letter to some one else and quoted
Mr.. Briggs as writing Mr.. Sparks:
If the letter is not here Mon
day he (Mr. Ickes) is going to get
on the long distance and raise some
hell around the country. Mean
while, he will swear that he saw the
letter If it comes to a showdown.
I hope that it won't be necessary
to put him on the spot, because he
has enough trouble without that"
Senator LANCER said the letter,
which he urged the Senate Elec-
tions Committee to investigate
along with an inquiry into whether
there were irregularities" in con-
nection with Mr.. WILKES nomina-
ton for the presidency by the Re-
publicans in 1910, read as follows
Dear Umphrey:

from that quarter if you think it
