Sookey, himself, has been a tough outfit to beat all season and the G-men have been entered in the "kitten ball" division. Maloof, Sal-- ustri, Noto, Gutkowski and the oth- CTS have all been responsible for the winning of the pennant herey but the colorful David Ignatiuy Sookey has been and will continue to be the big gun in their attack. It is David I.'s elbowing that will undoubtedly push the G-men to the fore in the championship games.
 Latest details as to the fortunes of the Bradley representatives in the FSC tourney will appear on this page as soon as the games are completed.

LABOR MAKES
PALESTINE Plea

NEW YORK-The Central Trades
and Labor Council of the City of New
York, representing 700 trade unions
and almost million American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor members, on Thurs
day evening, May 25th, passed a res
olution urging the American and Brit
ish governments ito bring about the
immediate unequivocal repeal of the
entire White Paper policy" which pro-
hibits further Jewish immigration into
Palestine.
The resolution demanded new
policy for Palestine, consistent with
the tragic needs of the Jewish people
and the magnificent contribution made
by the Jewish workers of Palestine to
the war effort of the United Nations. I"
The measure also urged that the Jew
ish people be given equal status
among the free nations of the world
in the international planning for post
war settlement and rehabilitation"
This action of the Central Trades
and Labor Council endorses the stand
taken earlier by it's parent body. the
American Federation of Labor, which
adopted resolution at its last ma
tional convention urging full imple-
mentation of the Balfour Declaration,
so that "the hopes and aspirations of
the Jewish people to build their own
commonwealth in Palestine be real
lied"
The session was presided over by
Thomas Murtha, president of The coun-
Gil, and the resolution was submitted
on behalf of the executive council of

INSIDE THE AXIS

ing the Germans out of the occupied
eastern territories, Nazi propagandists
had to put some new twists on "Fes-
tung Europa, and so they developed
the idea of fortress" with fore
field" periphery" and so forth All
territory lost by Germany in Russia,
Africa and the Mediterranean was
presented by Nazi propagandists as
forefield.
Meanwhile, as the Allies intensified
the air war against Germany, Presi-
dent Roosident UNDERSIGNED another
weak spot in the "Festung Europa"
stereotype by pointing out that the
fortress" didn't have a roof.
Speaking over the Berlin radio early
this month, Lieut.. Gen. Kurt Dittmar,
spokesman for the German armed
forces indicated clearly that Nazi
propagandists have now come to re-
gard the term "Festung Europa" as
a definite liability.
I'VE have never confronted the
concept of Fortress of Europe" ex-
cept with due reserve because It
leads to interpretations that will not
be able to do full justice to the spe-
cial circumstances and standards of
this war" Dittmar told the German
people.

FOOD COSTS
kept DOWN
In BUTTE

For the second consecutive month,
retail costs of food in Butte for April
were lower than for the correspond
regional price economist of the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, reported in
Denver today.
Butte food costs increased OF per
still IL per cent below the level of
April, 1913, the report shows. Food
costs in Butte were 1873 percent above
she level prevailing at the outbreak
of the war, compared with Ala for the
entire United States.
Prices of meats, eggs, fats and oils
decreased slightly during April. The
average price for eggs was 47.2 cents
a dozen, rs per cent below the March
average. Increases of less than l per
cent were shown for fruits and veget-
ables, beverages, and 1.6 per cent for
sugar and sweets.
The BIS retail food price index
shows April food costs in Butte were
1882 per cent of the 1859 base
period, or slightly less than the 134.6
percentage for the entire United
States. The increase of OF per cent
in April from the March level was
one-half as much as the national in
crease of 0.4 per cent. Butte food
prices in April were IL per cent below
April, 1943, compared with 4.3 for the
nation as a whole.

THE EVOLUTION OF
"FESTUNG EUROPA"

Apparently fearful of being hoist by

approaching Allied military opera.
lions, Nazi propagandists have shown
tendency recently to hedge on the
use of the term "Festung Europe
("Fortress of Europe"), phrase orig
inally designed to give the German
people a feeling of security against
any Allied assault.
The slogan was first introduced into
Nazi propaganda by Hans Fritzsche,
political director of German broad
casting, in November, 1941, to give the
impression that German victories in
western Europe and in Russia had
made Nazi defeat impossible. By
the fall of 1912, however, the phrase
had taken on a new defensive mean
ing.
After the invasion of North Africa
and the beginning of setbacks for the
Nazis in Russia, Testing Europa"
was used by Propaganda Minister Jo-
seph Goebbels to assure the German
people that Germany was prepared for
war of attrition in which time,
space, manpower and natural re-
sources rendered her secure behind
clearly-defined ''impregnable" walls.

film is devoted to the negro troops
in the present war. Their activities
are followed by the story of an en-

DIVISION OF LABOR
OUTLINES STATE
CHILD LABOR Law

Henry A. Yaeger, inspector in charge
Of Montana's Division of Labor, said
today that according to existing state
age of 16 years may be employed at
any time in, on or about any mine,
mill, smelter, workshop, factory, any
job on any railroad, passenger or
freight elevator, telegraph, telephone
or messenger company, or in any like
establishment in which machinery is
operated. Yaeger said age certificates
should be obtained from the State
Division of Labor, Helena, Montana,
for all minors to be employed; such
certificates must be obtained for all
children 16 years of age and older to
work at the occupations or within the
industries prohibited to those children
under 16 years of age-mine, mill,
smelter, etc. The age certificate pro-
gram, although compulsory under
Montana child labor laws, is primarily
for the employers protection, the
certificates "a prove tbs age of the
minor to the employer s0 taat he will
not unwittingly employ child under
age for the particular jGA to be done,
and (2) they act as work permits.
Applications for age certificates will
be furnished employers on receipt of
their requests to the Montana Division
of Labor, State Capitol Building,
Helena, Montana.
Another child labor law was en-
acted during the 1941 legislative ses-
sion, which establishes minimum
age of Fl years for all persons en-
ployed to serve beers, liquors or wines
to customers at retail Severe pen
alties are provided for the violation
of all our state child labor laws and
apply on the basis of three different
phases: % against the employer for
child under age at pro-
hibited occupation; (2) against the
employer for failure to have an age
certificate on file for each minor en-
ployed at an occupation prohibited to
children under 16 years of age, and
CD against the parents of an under
aged child, who has permitted his
child to be employed at an occupa
ton prohibited to children under 16
years of age.
In all cases, except in connection
with farming and stock-raising, the
maximum daily hours must not exceed
eight, and employees in retail stores,
wholesale warehouses and commercial
eating establishments are also limited
70 maximum 4S hours per week.
Other jobs the maximum weekly hours
nay be up to Sc.
Yaeger said that because the State
Division of Labor and the Industrial
Accident Board received many reports
If injuries to children during 1913, all
employers intending to employ young
workers, or who are employing them
low, should carry some form of in
lustrial accident insurance. Many of

PRESIDENT
ENDORSED
BY The Clio

The full strength of the clio has
been modified behind President
Roosevelt. Meeting in Chicago this
week, the CLIO Political Action Com
mittee issued vigorous endorsement
of the President and demanded his
reelection
With its membership of five and a
half million pledged to back the Presi-
dent of the United States, the CLIO has
added new impetus to the draft-Roose-
welt drive. Sweeping liberal triumphs
in primary elections in recent weeks
offered additional proof that the ma
ton wants to insure a democratic,
secure, postwar world by returning
the President to office.
In endorsing the President, the CLIO
Political Action Committee said:
"Franklin D. Roosevelt is the only
man in public life today qualified to
lead the nation during the next four
years."
Citing the endorsement already
given by many CLIO unions, the PAC
said it was merely recording the sem
timent of the membership of the CIO,"
in calling upon the President to run
again.
Full Participation
The committee emphasized that its
efforts would be devoted TO 'organiz-
ing every shop and factory ard every
community for full participation in
pr litical activity
This, it predicted, would be sue
cessful.
"And we are confident" it con-
tinued, "that this task of education
and organization will be performed,
and that on November the Amer
lean people will re-elect Franklin
DeIano Roosevelt to office, and un-
der his continued leadership march
forward to victory, peace and
plenty"
The PAC urged the President
again to respond to the call of duty

THE "ADoLF HITLER LINE"

Nazi concern over the back-firing
quality of phrases, slogans and labels
was also indicated recently in the
swiftness with which the DNB agency
and German-controlled Rome radio de-
MED that there was such thing as
an adolf Hitler Line" after Allied
troops in Italy had preached the line
known by that name.
The adolf Hitler" designation was
given to the German defenses behind
the so-called Gustav Line" a system
of Notifications designated as the &c
series" &c for Gustav''). So far as
the Germans were concerned, the fact
that the adolf Hitler Line" bore the
name of the Fuehrer made it neces-
tige either by holding the line or Civ
ing it another name.
Unable to keep the line intact, the
Nazis speedily put out a number of
stories admitting the gains by Allied
troops but insisting that there never
was an adolf Hitler Line" The
Nazis, it now develops, have new
name for 1.-THE I'D flor Dora) Line"
"
ID" DAY, ~" HOUR
The very sound of the phrase ID"
Day, H" Hour-the Technology used
to mark the start of the pending
Allied invasion of western Europe
seems to be having great psycholog-
ical impact on the German people, for
Hans Fritzsche, political director of
the German radio, devoted his weekly
broadcast last Saturday night to scott
ing at the idea as a great bluff"
Fritzsche tried to explain to the
Germans that the Allied troops would
not descend ON Europe in one surging
wave>to engulf them.
Who is to believe that Churchill
and Roosevelt would put the whole of
their invasion powder, which they
have produced and kept dry through
out the years, into one big cannon and
then fire it off in one single moment
at the risk that the shot misses the
target?" Fritzsche said. AN under

it Union League from Canada
to membership in the interna-
tional federation; and inaugur-
alton of a new program OF
democratic control for the in
surance program of the credit
co-operatives were among the
highlights Of the meeting.
Z Harland Allen, noted economist,
who spoke at he Saturday evening
dinner. stressed strongly the idea that
cooperative action was the chief
means by which the consumer could
hope to benefit, rather than suffer
from the growing efficiency of our
production agencies. He pointed out
that in the hands of monopolistic in
terests modern machinery could soon
deprive the great majority of people
of the means of livelihood, and proba-
bly, would do so.
At their meetings the directors took
the following actions: % elected the
following officers R. A. West, Hi
nois, president; A. B. Macdonald,
Nova Scotia, treasurer; Karl Little,
Utah, secretary; (2) set the dues at
six cents per member, with a maxi
mum of $4,000 from any one state or
provincial league; CD adopted budg-
ct totalling $124,937.6S for the year
ending February %, 1915; ca admit

CD approved the report of the educa-
tional committee, headed by A. B. Nc
Donald which called for an increas-
ingly aggressive educational program.
During the same week meetings of
Cuna affiliates alos held were: Cuna
Mutual Insurance Society board of di
rectors and policyholders, Cuna Sup
ply Cooperative board of directors
and membership, and the National AS
sociation of Managing Directors.
The meeting of the Cuna Mutual
Insurance Society policyholders was
a notable one because it was the first |
held since the recent amendment of
Wisconsin insurance laws, and of the |
bylaws of the society, which provided |
for area meetings of policyholders |
throughout the United States and
Canada. These area meetings elected
delegates to the national meeting and
thus provided a means of direct DEM
ocratc representation not provided by
other mutual insurance companies
Although there are still many details
to be worked out in the administrative
details involved, credit union leaders
feel that an important step has been |
made in the search for true demo
cratic control of insurance businesses.
This meeting is a great milestone
in cooperative insurance history,
