Republican Leaders
Sill IsoIationists,'
Gov. Kerr Declares
py the Associated Press.


BOSTON, Sept. 23.-Asserting
that Republican leaders we're isola-
tionists after the World War and
before Pearl Harbor, Gov. Robert
S. Kerr of Oklahoma said today
that Americans would be foolish
to believe that these Republican
leaders are any different" now.
In his keynote address to the
Massachusetts, Democratic conven-
ton, Gov. Kerr said:
Every one of us knows that we
want and aim to keep the peace
after it is won, and to do this we
know We must be prepared to use
force and power and firm respon-
sibility, If it is necessary.
Il challenge Mr.. Dewey to show
where he. his party, or any one for
either him or his party, has eyer
given the American people any as
surance that such is their program"
The tall Oklahoma chief execu-
tive asked what Republican leaders
offered the people today that Hard
ing and Republican leaders did not
offer in 1920, and added:
II declare to you that the reason
Thomas E. Dewey has made no
clear-cut declaration of purpose to
cooperate with whatever force is
necessary to keep the peace after
victory in this war, is that he has
never had, and does not now have,
any such purpose in his heart"
"On the other hand" he contin-
ued, every American knows what
the avowed purpose of the Demo-
cratic party and President Roose-
welt is.
1T is our pledge that this Nation
will cooperate with all law-abiding
nations, not only with responsibility,
but with whatever force is necessary
to- enable us to achieve a just and
abiding peace"

Sewage Screen Breakdown
Kills Fish in Anacostia

Breakdown of the District sewage
pumping screen system this week
polluted the Anacostia River. killing
thousands of fish, it was learned to-
day.
Repairs were completed at mid
night Thursday night and the river
is back to normal. Elwood johnson,
superintendent of the sewerage sys-
tenn. said
The trouble started Monday when
the automatic pumping screens,
through which the impurities in the
water are separated, broke down. AS
a result sewage flowed directly into
the river, polluting the water.
Thousands of catfish, perch and
winter shad died and some of the
dead fish Uttered the shoreline.

trial reconversion in the West when
the war is over.
Il feel very strongly that recon-
version should be equal for each
section OF the country" he replied.
Senator Pepper, who is a White
House spokesman, was on the West
Coast last week, and promised-or
threatened-that the West Coast
would get reconversion last. Since
Mr.. Pepper has been White House
spokesman for many years, I assume
he spoke with authority. So, it is
entirely clear that if the West Coast
is going to get the same square deal
that the rest of the country will
get, we need new administration"
This brought more applause from
the spectators in the rear. At this
point there were calls for quiet from
some of the reporters who were
busy taking notes.
To Discuss Tariffs Later.
Gentlemen, can't you learn to
take it as you find it. as do?" Gov.
Dewey remarked, good naturally.
A little later a man in a far cor
ner of the room told Gov. Dewey he
was from Vancouver, British Column
bia and would like to ask a ques-
ton.
Have you got somebody from
China here, too?" the Governor re-
quired.
The man from British Columbia
wanted to know what the Republic
can candidates views are on rela-
lions between Canada and the
United States, especially on tariffs.
Gov. Dewey told him he would dis
cuss that in a speech in October.
Another reporter went back to the
question of reconversion to suggest
that there is some apprehension that
Eastern industry may abandon war
plants established in the West.
Gov Dewey said that was divisi-
BILE question, adding:
There are some that the Gov
eminent owns, and some owned by
companies which have headquar-
tiers in other sections of the country
AS to plants the Government owns,
certainly they must be sold to peo-
pie who will give adequate assur-
ances that they will be operated to
the maximum possible"
Does Well With Press.
Governor, what do you think is
your chance of carrying California;"
newsman asked.
That question I would refer to
you people who live here" Gov.
Dewey replied, as the conference
came to a close.
On this, his first campaign tour,
Gov Dewey has demonstrated he
can hold his own in press confer
ence, turning aside courteously but
firmly the two-edged questions and
queries that seek to draw him out
on subjects he is holding back for
later discussion.

ROME, Sept 23.-The clandestine
pro-Allied radio in Northern Italy
Radio Milano Liberta-reported to-
day that general strike had broken
out in Piedmont intended to hamper
the German retreat toward the
Bremen Pass.
The broadcast said the Nazis had
been moving out supplies and troops
for several days.
There was no immediate Allied
confirmation of this report, but the
special attention the air force has
given communications in the Milan
Alessandria areas indicated substan-
tial enemy movements.
The Italian government at Rome
earlier this week appealed to Patriots

Dumbarton Farley Agrees
On Reporting Peace Peril
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Taking the view that peace must
be equally as global as war has
become, Dumbarton Oaks conferees
have agreed that any nation can
call the attention of a future inter-
national security organization to q
menace to world peace anywhere.
This was learned last night after
President Roosevelt said that Brit
ish, Russian and American dele
gates at the conference have agreed
on 80 per cent of the problems
before them.
The 10 per cent of nonagreement
to which the President referred is
understood to be primarily on the
question of whether a powerful ma
ton can veto international action
against itself.
The conferees still are awaiting
word from Moscow on whether Rus
STA will reverse its stand and agree
to give up such a veto.

Some Of our stations are now in

Two Germans have been led In
blindfolded carrying one of our
casualties and one of theirs. Then
they were led back again as they
had promised to go on fighting
against U.s.
Once a German came in offering
us terms of surrender and one OF
our colonies promptly rushed out
and planted the air-borne flag in
front Of his headquarters.
And though our men, some OF
them, are hard put to it not to fall
asleep over their guns, they go or
fighting and go on attacking and
one day perhaps the world will learn
the full story of what they have
done here.
When it's over" said the SER

|Shipyard Workers
Join Labor Demand
For Wage Increase
BY the Associated Press.

Ey the ASS0cleteu Ffee8.
Shipyard unions yesterday added
their weight to the labor pressure
on wage ceilings with an AFL union
implying there may be strikes unless
wages are raised.
John p. Frey, president Of the
AL Metal Trades Department, In
a shouting, table thumping demand
on the War Labor Board, insisted
that the Government honor" q 1912
wage contract ''or we will take mat
tiers into our own hands and use
our own judgment"
An industry spokesman said ship
yards ARE paying the highest in
dustrial wages in the country"
Asks 17h Gent Boost.
John Green, president of the Go
Marine and Shipbuifding Workers
Union, presented his unions de-
mand for an increase of l71a cents
an hour, contending that the Gov
eminent wage policy has been un-
fortunately allied with an artificially
construed index which is no longer
indicative Of present wartime con-
ditions."
CThe Little Steel formula which
limits general wage increases to q
maximum OF Is per cent above the
level of January, 1941, was based on
the rise in cost of living as shown
by the Bureau Of Labor Statistics
index.)
Mr.. Frey said the AFL unions
had an agreement which tied wage
rates to living costs but that in
1912 they accepted less than the
agreement provided at the request
OF President Roosevelt. Mr.. Frey
said the agreement in 1912 provided
for 1943 wage review which was
interpreted to mean an adjustment
based on changes in living costs.
That agreement has not been car
ried out although the Government
was a party to it, the AFL spokes-
man said.
Raises Question.
ut is an open question:" the AFL
speaker continued, III the Govern
ment fails to carry out the pro-
visions Of an agreement 1t has nego-
tiated with labor, whether labor is
any longer bound by other pro-
visions of such an agreement"
H. Gerrish Smith, on behalf of
the shipbuilding and ship-repairing
industry. said industry considers
that in view Of 412 per cent in
crease in average straight time
hourly shipyard earnings and a 695
per cent increase in weekly earn
ings in May, 1914, as compared with
January, 194l, with a cost OF living
increase of only PAL per cent over
the same period, that no increase
in shipyard wage rates is war
