Reuther Asks Probe
OF 'Antiunion Drive
Through War Effort
BY the Associated Press.

AZ tAie hSsOClhteQ FreSS.
DETROIT, June 8.-Walter c.
Reuther, vice president of the United
Automobile Workers (CIO) today
proposed a congressional investira-
ton to determine, he said, whether
industry was using the war effort
to undermine labor unions.
Mr.. Reuther, accusing General
Motors Corp. of propaganda .
made his statement in reference to
the discharge of five war veterans
for failure to maintain membership
in CIO unions while holding G. M.
jobs.
A General Motors spokesman said
yesterday that four of the dis
charges were requested by the UAW-
Go at plants In Anderson, Ind
Flint, Mich. and Detroit and a fifth
by the CLOS United Electrical
Workers at Dayton, Ohio. The
unions have maintenance of men,
bership contracts with General
Motors.
Asserting, I'VE had never heard of
the veterans cases" and "at no
time did the corporation bring them
to our attention" Mr.. Reuther said
General Motors was Saving Its
propaganda for invasion day when
1t was hoped, circulation of the
story might do the most damage
to the union"
Obviously" Mr.. Reuther said in
a formal statement, "the corpora
ton is not as much interested in
the five ex-seryicemen as it is in
using them for propaganda against
the union"
Representative Rankin, Democrat
of Mississippi, in a speech in the
House at Washington yesterday, said
he saw an account of the discharges
in the Washington Post. He said
he hoped American soldiers invading
Europe were not reading American
newspapers "or they'll find Sidney
Hillman and his racketeering CIO
gang are shaking them down to
destroy the Government they're
fighting for"

sound of the guns toward shore.
But the sound came rumbling never

SO loudly against our ears that it felt

Then the warships let up a
moment to allow the 9th Air Force
to come in and contribute its heft

Senator MUrsees predicted PreSi-

the Bankhead amendment is ap-

The Senate voted, Al to 27, TO ac-

present consumers can sue retailers
for ceiling violations and collect
three times the amount of any
proven overcharge, or $50, whichever
is greater.
The amendment provides that in
such civil suits it will be an ade-

proves that the violation was neither
willful nor the result of failure to
take practicable precautions against
a violation.
Majority Leader Barkley con-
tended the change would weaken
one of the chief weapons for OPA

of consumers to sue retailers who
overcharge them. Senator Mahoney,

Rejoicing Set Off
By False Flash Seems
Brutal 10 Officers
BY HANSON w. BALDWIN,

New York Times Correspondent Represent
ing the Combined American Press.
Distributed BY the Associated Press
ABOARD ADMIRAL KIRKS S
FLAGSHIP OFF THE FRENCH
COAST, June Delayed The
press news received by radio aboard
this naval vessel declared Sunday
morning that millions of persons
were thrown into premature rejoic-
ing late yesterday when an Ameri-
can press service falsely reported
Allied invasion troops had landed in
France"
(The writer refers to a fash
issued by the Associated Press
last Saturday afternoon errone-
ously reporting that Gen. Eisen-
hower's headquarters had an
nounced Allied landings in
France.)
This report, coming at time when
some of the Allied invasion conveys
had actually left British ports but
had not yet approached the French
coasts-they were subsequently re-
called because of unfavorable
weather and the invasion was de-
layed-was serious enough as a pos
sible "tipoff" to the enemy of i'm
pending operation.
Rejoicing" Incongruous Word.
But one word that particularly
caught the eye of many officers
aboard this ship was the word "re-
joicing."
That word strikes an incongruous,
almost brutally callous, note here
in the Bay of the Seine in waters
where American bodies lie fathoms
deep near beaches whose blood
drenched names will be forever en-
blazoned on the battle streamers of
regimental colors. forever recorded
in the history of our people.
1t is word which epitomizes
lack of comprehension of the grim
issues here involved, of the long
chances and hard struggles still
ahead. 1t signifies a sense of over
confidence and hence it is repug-
nant to the men who are doing the
fighting and who know the hard and
relentless strength of the enemy.
Relief From Tension.
In one sense the word rejoicing"
is understood. This operation has
been SO long prepared and tension
of the 'swar of nerves" that pre-
ceded it has been so great that there
is positive sense of relief when the
first shots are fired and when one
knows that now at long, long last the
grapple to the death has been
started.
But in this correspondents delib-
crate opinion this is no time for re-
joicine, but rather for prayer. Let
us beat the enemy first and then re-
joice. The main part of the job is
still to be done.
1t will be hard, tough, brutal
job. The landings now being made
and the battles on the beaches
bloody though they undoubtedly will
prove to be-are only the first part
and perhaps the easier part OF the
job. The German coast defense bat
teries and beach positions are very,
very strong, but it has always been
hoped that we could effect landings.
break through this strong coastal
crust and establish beachheads. But
the main test then comes.
