Tunnel Project
Awaits Start

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. up
Representative Albert E Carter.
tR) California, announces that
plans and specifications for new
S6,500000 tunnel from Oakland to
Alameda, Calf. have been prepar-
ed and that contract for its con-
struction could be let "at short
notice-after the war.
Carter said the federal govern
nient would contribute a "substan-
tial sum" toward cost of the project.
He pointed out that among other
things the tunnel would connect
such federal properties as the nava4
air base at Alameda and the army
supply depot at Oakland.
The preliminary work is now
completed" Carter said. declining
to say, however, when the contract
would be awar6ed.
Carter added that work would not
begin until both manpower and
materials were available after the
war and that completion of the
project would require from l8
months to two years.

Field Ordnance Outfits Get
Some Freakish Repair Jobs
Tires Fixed While You Wait

the breech of one of tanks guns.
The shell didn't go through. 1t
hit at an angle and just scooped
out a big chunk of steel about a
foot long and six inches wide.
It's very improbable that in the
whole war this same shield would
get hit again in the same place.
Yet they can't afford to take that
chance, so the weakened armor had
to be made strong again.
They took acetylene torches and
cut out plug around the weaken
ed part with slanting sides the same
as you'd plug a watermelon. Then
they fashioned a steel plate the
same size and shape as the hole.
and welded it in.
The result is that the plug fits
into the hole like wedge and it
would be impossible for shell to
drive it in. It's really stronger now
than it used to be.
One of the most surprising things
I ran onto touring around scores of
outdoor ordnance shops in Nor
mandy was a mobile tire repair
unit.
There already are half a dozen
of these units here and more COM
ing in. They fix anything from a
motorcycle to truck tires. They
don't bother with ordinary holes
such as nail holes. Practically all
their work is on tires damaged by
Shrapnel or bullets.
Each repair outfit consists of one
officer ano Is men. They've been
especially trained and their leaders
usually were tiremen back in civil
life. '9
They move in three trucks. When
they set up. the three are backed
to each other to form a T, thus
making a shop with three wings.
You get up to it on a portable
staircase
Outside on the ground tires are
stacked all around. One set of SOL
dierS works all day with knives
carving out the rubber around the
damaged places. Then they take the
tire inside, and machine roughens
the edges of the holes so the fill
ing will stick.
Then they mould in fresh rub
Der and put the tire in one of
three baking machines. It's hotter
than blazes in there 1t takes an
hour and As minutes to bake each
patch SO you see they can't turn
them out very fast.
They'll repair tire that has up
to six holes, but if it has more
than that they send it back to
England. A six-hole tire takes lOls
hours of baking. One unit can run
off a maximum of about SIS tires
caily. The unit I saw was set up
IN former orchard and was so
thoroughly camouflaged with nets
you could hardly see it. The officer
In charge was Lieutenant George
Schuchardt who has the Hawkin-
son Tread Service" in Nashville.
Tenn. His partner is running it
while he's away.
His first sergeant is Stephen HUI
dak of 81 Flore Ave. Akron, of
all places. He used to work for
FlreStone. I've been finding more
damned square pegs in square holes
in this army lately. Something
must be wrong.

jobs, indeed
The other day the company l was
with had a tank destroyer roll in.
There was nothing whatever wrong
with it except-the end of the gun
barrel was corked tight with 2i2
feet of wood
What happened was they had
been running along a hedgerow and
as the turret operator swung his
gun in a forward arc, they ran the
end of the barrel mack into big
tree.
You would think the vehicle had
to be going 100 miles an hour to
plug the end of the barrel for 2l2
feet simply by running into a tree.
But it doesn't. This one was going
only 20 miles an hour.
1t took the ordnance boys four
hours to dig the wood out with
chisels and reamerS. The inside OF
the barrel wasn't hurt bit and

A 3-inch anti-tank gun was
brought in with a hole in the barrel
about six inches back from the
muzzle. The hole came from the
inside. What happened was this;
A German bazooka gunner fired a
rocket at the anti-tank gun. 1t
made one of those freakish hole-in-
one hits-went right smack into
the muzzle of the big gun.
About six inches inside it went off
and burned its way clear through
the barrel. Nobody got hurt but the
barrel was unrepairable, and was
sent back to England for salvage.
A tank was brought in that had

Told TO Vote FDR

PHILADELPHIA, (LPA) -
Vice President Wallace on Sept
27, speaking for seven minutes
to union workers at the Cramp
Shipyards here, urged support
of President Roosevelt. He
told his audience that he was
convinced that the worker
stood to gain more through the
reelection of President Roose-
welt. However, he added, ''if
you are convinced that the Re-
publican party is best equipped
for reconversion to insure jobs
by all means be sure you are
registered and vote for Gov
ernor Dewey" He spoke un-
der the auspices of the CIO
Political Action Committee.
Later in the day, Mr.. Wal
lace told a meeting under the
auspices of the Democratic
City Committee, that he de-
plored the attitude of some peo-
pie who thought "a little unem-
ployment would be good
thing"

said. Since then, we have found
out just what enough space
mans to the said paper: it means
about two or three column
inches on a forgotten page. The
worker, the man who should be
told the truth, very seldom car
even find, let alone read this
small column space as it re-
quires a magnifying glass to dis
cover just where it is hidden.
You will miss a great many
pleasant evenings such as the
one you could have spent the
mite of Friday, October the 18th
if you believe the printed mat
ter in said Blade. Friday mite
at the Civic Auditorium, we at
tended a fine show called the
Victory Band Wagon. The few
from our shop who were there
too, really enjoyed swell show.
It concerned labor's worst enc
mics, Dewey, Hoover Bricker,
and Westbrook Pegler, and it
was put on by a grand cast of
urion members. We wonder
where all the so CALLED Dem
ocratic politicians were that
night?
Let's remember one more i'm
portant thing. We, the workers
have more today than we have
ever had. Let's not lose it! To
lose what we have, means years
of hunger, hopelessness and
crime. These things we want to
leave buried in the Republican
rule of the past. We are plan
ming for peace, full bellies, and
wealth enough for all. Vote for
Roosevelt and his followers and
they, in turn, will vote for you.
They, and they only, are true
blue in the fight for the rights
of labor.

How many members read The

part of the old political bunk
to tell their readers how to vote.
But we are not going to tell any
one how to vote in this national
election" That is what the edi-
toriaI said. No, they are not 60
ing to tell anyone how to vote,
not much! All anyone can read
in their paper concerns Dewey
and Bricker, pardon us, con-
Germs The Mr.. Dewey and The
Mr.. Bricker. The Blade would
never tell us how to vote. They
only waste double columns, full
length, to demand the workers
to vote for Hoover's mouth
piece and for the rest of the
labor haters, on the Republican
ticket.
Do they consider the workers
as suckers, ready to swallow the
first bit of bait that they dish
out? What they don't seem to
realize is that we are not fish;
we are men and women with
minds that we use intelligently.
Many of our minds can clearly
recall the Hoover rule filled
with tears of desperation and
years of starvation. We know
that The Blade is trying to
spread propaganda, but we
realize what is going on in the
world today.
