O'Farrell got boiling mad when he saw
a quiet little ex-tailor. who has two sons
in the Air Force, insulted by few fellow
workers at the Douglas Aircraft Co. near
Los Angeles. The workers were laughing
at some anti-Semitic leaflets.
O'Farrel, thoroughly Disguised, grabbed
the leaflets. They were packed with lies
and enough smut to be used fish bait.
He turned them over to the JAW local
which Immediately drew up and began
circulating petitions bearing the following
pledge. with thousands Of workers agree

Dr.. MouIton Warns
Against Gripping Axis
Nations Economically

The United Nations can best serve
their own long-range interests by
stripping Germany and Japan Of
conquered lands without throttling
them economically, DR.. Harold G..
Moulton, economist, author and
president of the Brookings Institu-
ton, said in an address yesterday.
DR.. Moulton, co-author of a recent
book on the subject of controlling
the Axis powers, told the Interna-
tional Economic Council at . lunch
con at the Washington Hotel that
destruction of the economic life of
Germany and Japan would mean
unemployment, political upheval
and the strengthening OF 4 spirit Of
revenge in these countries.
The speaker declared it will not
be feasible to occupy the defeated
nations with military forces for in
definite periods, and suggested in
stead system for detecting and
putting down efforts to rearm and
controlling key industries.
DR.. Moulton pointed out that the
victors of the World War had to
rebuild Europe's economic system
when conditions got so bad they
had an adverse effect on their own
international trade.
He said Japan's conquered ter
ritories were military rather than
economic assets, and that when she
loses these she still can develop a
thriving, peaceful economy which
will be benefit instead Of liability
to world trade.
He stressed the Importance Of
allowing the enemy nations to build
up prosperous economies without
placing them in a position where
they can again embark on schemes
of world conquest.

Southern Democrats
Join COP Bloc 10 Fight
Unemployment Fund
Senator Russell Books
Group os Stotes Rights
Issue Nears Showdown
BY the Associated Press

A coalition OF Republicans and
Southern Democratic Senators
lined up yesterday against a pro-
posed federalized system of un-
employment benefits for dis
missed war workers, while sup
porters Of the plan denied that
1t was an invasion Of States
rights.
AS the issue headed for a deci-
sion on the Senate floor in debate
opening Tuesday, Senator Russell,
Democrat, of Georgia joined the
bipartisan bloc backing the rival
bill Of Senator George, Democrat, of
Georgia which would leave control
with the States.
Senator Russell declared the pro-
|posal that Congress fix more liberal
unemployment compensation rates
and standards was the beginning of
permanent Government pensions
for war workers.
Senator Vandenberg of Michigan,
as chairman of the Republican
Minority Conference, telegraphed
Jail COP Senators not yet back in
Washington to return for a confer
|ence Tuesday morning. The con-
ference is expected to discuss the
party stand on the controversy.
vandenberg and several other Re-
publican leaders have announced
that they favor the George plan.
Sees Machinery Undisturbed.
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of vir-
ginia meanwhile asserted that the
bill proposing Federally-fixed bene-
fits up to $35 weekly-approximately
double present average State rates
would not disturb the State admin
istrative machinery.
"The States would have the right
to say who was eligible for benefits
and who wasn't, Senator Kilgore
said. They would actually pay the
benefits, with Federal funds merely
supplementing the State payments.
THE States rights issue, he added,
"is being raised In an effort to pre-
vent adequate benefits to the people
who are going to be thrown out Of
jobs as war production Is cut on"

Labor Controls Solve
Production Problems
SomerveII Believes
Byrnes' Order Is First
With Any Teeth in It,
Army Chieftoin Says
Hy the Associated Press.

Solution Of the Army's critical
production problems was pre-
dicted yesterday BY It. Gen.
Brehon Someryell as q result of
the imposition OF labor controls
by James r. Ryrnes, Director Of
War Mobilization.
''1t's the first time we've had any
thing with teeth In It," Gen. SOM
ervell said of the Byrnes order which
placed employment ceilings on In
dustries in labor shortage areas,
gave the War Manpower Commission
veto power over resumption Of civil
ian production in labor surplus
areas, and authorized the use of
sanctions to enforce the labor con-
trolls.
Complete agreement between the
War Department, the Manpower
Commission and the War Produc-
tion Board on the need for vigorous
enforcement was indicated by Gen.
Somervell in an interview. He sug-
gested also that the order would
facilitate the planning for eventual
conversion from war to peacetime
production.
To Use Power II Necessary.
Gen. Somervell, commanding gen.
eral of the Army Service Forces
expressed belief the use of the au-
thorized sanctions - including allo-
cations of materials, fuel, power and
services-would be necessary in few
If any cases, but made it plain the
agencies involved would not hesitate
to invoke them If necessary.
Reiterating the urgent need for
sharply increased output of certain
critical items - including rubber
tires, heavy artillery, artillery am
munition, tanks, explosives and fire
control apparatus, construction
equipment, flame throwers, cotton
duck and tentage. cranes and der
ricks and heavy trucks-Gen Som
ervell said the heartening news from
the combat fronts should act on the
home front as a spur to hasten VIC
tory.
You can't take the team of the
field until the game is over" the
general said IT have my own guess
as to when the war with Germany
will be over, but it's based on the
assumption that our production re-
quirements will be met so that the
troops can keep rolling.
More Time Lag 1t Home,
I'VE have made miscalculations
at times of the amount of materie]
we would need, but by and large We
have done pretty efficient job. We
don't have any more surplus stocks
relatively, than the average depart
ment store has to carry.
When a gunner at the front
