 Preceding Saltonstall on the plat form, Mayor Theodore R. McKeldir of Baltimore, COP candidate for governor of Maryland, said he would rip away the mystery of the Roose- welt myths"
 He said Myth No. was that former President Herbert Hoover was responsible for the 1929 depres- sion. 'The depression" he declared, twas a secondary reaction of World War T." Myth No. 2 he listed as MT ooseveltS 'indispensability." Countering that he declared:
 "Once in a century" nature pro- duces an organizing monster. We've seen Khan, Tammerlane and Ma. poleon, and this century has pro- duced Hitler and Mussolini. But, our century and half has produced under our system of life, Washing. ton, Jefferson, Hamilton Lincoln and Dewey"
 Myth No. he said was that the Republican party was the party ot isolation. Roosevelt, he declared, was himself the Prince of Isola. tionists" and his packer, Chairman Sidney Hillrnan of the CIO Political Action Committee, his "Rasputin."

NCunlllluCu tEutU Eukt ll resident supervisor of shipbuilding, aaid that production had not Jagged too seriously yet but that a contin- uetion of the strike might have ser- ious consequences.
 Anything you do to slow down production will result in much greater loss of life in forthcoming military operations" he warned the workers who struck only three days after settlement of a wage dispute involving 1900 welders.
 Observers said that at present only the day shift workers were considered on strike but that i,500 night shift workers and 1000 over- night shift employees also were in- volved.
 Union spokesmen said they sought:
 1. An annual re-rating of men after each years service until maximum pay was reached.
 2, Retroactive pay and premium wages for weekend work,
 3. Bonus and contract rates re- set at the l942 level.
 4. A minimum guarantee of B per cent over basic wage rates for workers in the sheet metal section.
 A company spokesman said that ,.5sc wArktTs S>ay~ "a N'ect yepresen- tatives to discuss the dispute but that thus far no such conference had been scheduled. Union men said representative of the national war labor board had been asked to come to the yard and consider the matter.
 Extra police were on duty in the area but there had been no vio- lence. Groups of strikers congre- gated at the gates in an effort to influence those workers who had not joined the strike.

necessity of an invasion and be
