CIO Indorses Jewish
NofioncI Home

WASHINGTON - (FP) - IN
dorsing H. J. Res. 418 and 419 to
aid in establishing a Jewish ma
tional home in Palestine, CIO
Pres. Philip Murray said:
''We believe that the progress Of
the Jewish National Home should
be permitted to continue unimped-
ed, particularly in view Of the
tragic plight Of hundreds Of thou
sands of Jews in Europe, and the
necessity of providing for them a
place Of resettlement and rehabi-
litation after the war"

movie directors and writer's
held their own meeting to de-
clare themselves for "the
American way" with mo new
plan" for the future.
They formed the Motion Picture
Alliance for the Preservation of
American Ideals to drive "Com-
munists, radicals and crackpots'
out of motion pictures. Sam Wood
is president. Officers included six
MGM wage earners whose 1912 in
come ranged from Clarence e
Browns $79,10O to King Vidor's
$180,0O0.
MPAPAI's first vice president is
Walt Disney, who spread the de-
featist message of Vic tory
Through Air Power to millions of
moviegoers. It's second v. p. is
Cedric Gibbons, who bought page
ad in a Hollywood paper to OPP
pose the second front, asking
whether America wanted a second
Dunkirk.
Anti Union Speaker
One speaker was Harlan G.
Palmer, anti-labor publisher of
The Citizen-News, who shares with
Disney the distinction of precipa-
tating Hollywood's two anti-bar-
gaining strikes.
The Hearst press hailed the
MPAPAI as epochal, said it was
to combat "brazen attempts by left
wingers to invade the ranks of
screen writer's to plant propa-
ganda" and was supported by the
recent Writers Congress (which
had been denounced as Communist
inspired"
meantime the War Dept, which
helped stage the Writers Congress,
is calling another meeting of the
same writers to bring them up TO
date on home front problems and
ask further cooperation.)
The night after MPAPAI was
formed another dinner was held in
Beverly Hills by quite a different
sector of the movie industry. 1t

System, boiling mad. He hastily gathered 80
volunteers from his outfit and went on train
stealing expedition. Some of the volunteers
were not enginemen, but Colonel Okie told
them what levers to press and they snorted
away with l3 trains right under the Nazis'
them furiously but they got away safely.
Not content with that, the daring rail-
readers returned, hid train of ammunition
in tunnel and sabotaged several locomotives
they were unable to move. Finally they
escaped by racing truck across the desert
around the enemy's flank.
The same battalion, along with other rail-
way units, distinguished itself in the invasion
of Sicily. Demolition damage there was tre-
mendous Hundreds of enemy mines had to
be removed from the tracks. Trains were
bombed by Axis planes and peppered by
ground troops. The Yanks had steam up in
Italian locomotives within four hours of
landing, however, and just as fast as track
was wrested from the enemy. it was put to use.
When our forces punched their way into
Italy the story was the same Railroad parties
on the bloody beaches of Salerno found no
Italian engines fit to operate. Undaunted,
they stuck f1anged wheels on CT trucks, put
them on rails and successfully shunted sup
plies from docks to dumps.
Efficiency Needle
SucH ingenuity has been employed over and
over again by the men of the Military Railway
Service. talked recently with high-ranking
officer lust back from Iran, where our railroad
troops are delivering torrent of Lend-Lease
SUPPLIES to Russia When the Yanks first
took over the 870-mile Trans-lranian, they
found trains of tiny, hand-braked cars drawn
bv old-fashioned German locomotives getting
through a few times a week. The Americans
applied an efficiency needle at once, but since
there weren't enough of them to man all the
key jobs, they had to work with bewhlskered
Iranians. If an Iranian engineer got hungry,
he'd stop the train and have lunch. On
steep down grade, an Iranian brakeman was
as likely as not to be taking quiet srfooze.
That wasn't all. There was constant danger
of heat stroke in the l30-degree desert tenn
peratures, of landslides in the mountains, OF
running smack into one of the donkey or
camel caravans which travelled at night and
considered the tracks of the Trans -lranian
their natural right Of way. The CT rail-
readers had to be eternally armed and on the

alert for enemy parachutists, saboteurs and
bandit tribesmen.
They licked it all. Today the Trans-Iranian
is a grown-up railroad. 1t has scores of Diesel
engines brought from the US, capacious
freight cars equipped with automatic brakes,
a new telegraph system and splendid work
shops. And hundreds of thousands of tons of
the sinews of war are rolling through to our
Russian allies.
Worlds Toughest Railroad
E1ALF way around the world, under entirely
different difficulties, Military Railway troops
have accomplished another it-couldn't-be-
done feat This is the operation of the ll0-mie
narrow gauge White Pass & Yukon line, from
Skagway, Alaska, to Whitehorse, Yukon,
known as the toughest railroad on earth
In places this road climbs grades so steep
that the tail-end brakeman is 10 feet lower
than the engineer 1t winds along the edges of
precipices where derailment would mean a
sheer drop of half mile The thermometer
often sinks to 80 below.
When the Japs landed on the Aleutians,
Northern links of the Alaska Military High
way had to be rushed to completion. The
White Pass & Yukon had to haul material for
both purposes - more freight than it had
ever handled before.
1t was rugged assignment for the railroad
soldiers. When train stalled on grade the
locomotive would freeze fast to the rails. Even
as fireman heaved coal into white-hot
firebox, water would sometimes turn to ice In
the boiler. Some men suffered frostbite, Others
nearly starved when they were marooned for
DAYS by blizzard, but trains began to go
through. They are now rolling six times as
much freight as ever before.
have mentioned only few of the places
where our railway troops are distinguishing
themselves There are many Others. In New
Caledonia they are running narrow-gauge,
limb-dodging rattlers through mosquito-and
snake-infested jungles. In India, they are pre-
pairing for coming offensives. In Britain, they
are reported to be accumulating huge stock
of locomotives and other equipment to hurl
at Hitler when the hour strikes.
And when it does, we can depend upon our
military rairoaders. They'll keep highballing
the stuff through, come hell or high water,
until they reach their final destinations -
Toxic and Berlin!

The House has been asked to in
vestigate a Pacific battle in which
one American general relieved an

Grains moved within a narrow
range in a quiet trade today, but
the undertone of the market was
steady. There was no overnight
news of importance to the grain
trade and most Of the activity was

At one time rye spurted for
gains of major fractions, but this
apturn was lost quickly in the
final few minutes when traders
who had bought earlier decided to
get out of the market. Many grain
lien still believe an outlet for rye
will be found in industrial alcohol
