Mr.. Eaton pointed out that he

Mr.. Eaton said he believes this

what we can to help the stricken
people of Europe and Asia to help

Asked whether he thought the

we cannot be strong abroad and

again after surviving a vicious u
boat attack.
Hit at least twice by torpedoes,
the merchantmen lay helpless on
the surface of the sea for several

Expert on Artillery.
The sandy-haired general was at
heart an artillery man through all
the various assignments he held in
40 years of military life. This was
reflected in his interest when the
problem of stopping the tank arose
soon after the start of World War II
About him Gen. McNair gathered
small group of experts. From their
studies, experiments and recon-
mendations grew the present system
Of tank-killing, centered about the
use Of swift-moving guns with fiat
trajectories and high penetrating
powers, the tank-destroyers.
Apparently because of still existent
security reasons. the War Depart
ment declined to discuss details OF
the assignment in which the general
was serving at the time of his death
The far-f1ung fighting fronts and
the intensive battles of this war. to-
sether with the reversals suffered at
the outset, have brought much
greater casualties to high-rankine
officers of the American forces thar
in any previous war.

1t. Gen. Lesley J. McNair, who
told his troops that the struggle is
for survival-kill or be killed" has
lost his life on the Normandy front.
The War Department announced
yesterday that the general, who had
just taken over new-and unspeci-
fled-assignment. had been killed
while with leading element of the
Allied offensive in France and while
observing the work of an American
ground army which he had organ
lied and trained.
He was the Understanding Amer
ican officer to die in action in this
war. Four other generals have been
killed In battle. There have been a
number OF other deaths of general
officers, including eight who died in
plane crashes while travelling to war
zones.
Wife Notified Here.
Mrs. McNair was notified here OF
her husbands death by Brig. Gen
j. G. Christensen, chief of staff of
the Army Ground Forces. A SON
Maj Douglas C. McNair, Is in the
field artillery.
The 61-year-old McNair, chief OF
the Army Ground Forces until he
received the new assignment sew
eral weeks ago, had gone to the bat
tie fronts twice in this war. He was
wounded by shell fragments while
IN Tunisia in March, 1943, and was
awarded the Purple Heart.
Gen. McNair was generally credit
ed with bringing into being the
vast and complex Army Ground
Forces, that aggregation Of millions
OF men, tens of thousands of guns
tanks and trucks and specialized
weapons.
1t was while he was in the midst
OF this great undertaking that he
went on the air in the National Ra-
dlo Forum on Armistice Day, 1912
and told his men that in this war
against ruthless enemy it is kill
or be killed"
Gen. Marshall Pays Tribute.
Had he had the choice, he prob
ably would have elected to die as he
did, in the forefront of the attack,
said Gen. George G. Marshall, Chief
OF Staff, who has called Gen. Nc
Nair the brains of the Army"
His loss was mourned also by 9TH
ers who had reason to know his
abilities. Undersecretary of War
Patterson said:
From the wars beginning: his
soldierly skill has directed the de-
velopment of our ground forces into
a striking force of the greatest
power. On the many trips of in
spection which he undertook togeth-
ier in this country. / was impressed
by his insight into every detail of
training and by the emphasis which
he placed on the battle preparations
OF the individual soldier as the basis
of successful attack. He was Quick

General Motors Strike
Threatens Production
OF WarpIane Engines
By the Associated Press.


DETROIT, July 28-A spreading
strike of workers on warplane engine
parts threatened today to cripple all
operations in the six plants of q
General Motors Corp. division en-
ploying $500 persons.
Walkouts in five of the Chevrolet
gear and axle division plants, origi-
mating in dispute over increased
production rates on parts for Pratt
g. Whitney engines, had left ap-
proximately 1900 men idle. The
sixth plant is used largely for ap-
prentice training
The management said all plants
still were operating, but indicated
production had been severely upset
and that the company was adhering
to a policy of attempting no settle
ment until the employees returned to
work
The strike began in plant No. 5
yesterday after five employees were
suspended for failure to maintain
new production rates. The MANAGE
ment said Local 235, United Auto
mobile Workers (CIO), approved the
rates, but union spokesmen said the
rates were too fast.
Meanwhile. the Hotel Statler
strike here entered it's eighth day
with 700 service workers idle and
new differences arose.
Elevator operators needed War
Labor Board orders and agreed to
resume work, but representatives Of
other AFL-afiliated employees said
their groups would not return unless
they were paid for the time they
had been idle. Management had
refused this. The elevator operators
walked out last week in a pay
dispute.

sonal loss. But we do submit that by no trick of journalistic logic can this be called news story of general interest. It should be evident to the least prac- ticed eye that 1t is a publicity story aimed solely at getting the Ninth Air Force mentioned.
 This is the same group that was the center of small tempest recently when four American correspondents were asked to move on from Ninth headquarters. The correspondents claim they were asked to leave because "they were trying to cover the war instead of writing Ninth Air Force publicity" The Ninth's public relations officer, since reasSigned, said the move was routine. There were prob- ably unpublished irritationS and pres- sures on both sides. And we don't blame the Ninth Air Force publicists. We do blame the extreme Jealousy between vari- ous outfits that causes them to use their public relations officers like civilian press agents, and judge them by the same standards. The above story, flown across the Atlantic at great haste and some expense, Is only an extreme example of getting the clients" name in the papers. The Army seems to forget that the folks back home are not interested in it's internal riValries. They are interested in and proud and grateful for the superb job that all soldiers and flyers arc doing, regardless of their outfit. Hollywoodish publicity blurbs, under the tragic cir cumstances of war, are not in very good taste.

Let's Pull Together

At the United Automobile Workers convention the c. l. o. made public q broad general program for high postwar employment. It is sound and desirable plan which recommends expansion of the aircraft and automobile industries, modernization of railroads, construction of superhighWays slum clearance, indus trial plant improvements, power and food-control development, and extension of foreign trade. Most of these recorn- mendations would require private finarlc- ing, and all of them demand the cooper ation of labor and management But that cooperation may be hard to achieve, if the temper of the U. A. W. convention Is any criterion. The convention dele- gates were told that industry Is preparing for bitter postwar struggle with or- ganlzed labor, That sweeping accusation may be true, but if 1t Is then American businessmen are not as smart as they are cracked up to be. For any employer who can see beyond the end of his nose must know that If we are to come close to bal. ancing our peacetime budget and still have full employment, a high living standard and the high buying power that goes with 1t. And you don't get those things by grinding down labor unions, even though you may not like them.
 But the speeches and debate at the U. A. w. convention made 1t sound as If that million-member organization, at least, was preparing to declare peacetime war on management. If good word was said for industry or any plea made for peaceable cooperation after the war, 1t was not recorded in detailed reports of the proceedings. To be sure, the con- vention did vote to continue the no-strike pledge but only after bitter wrangling. But the question seemed to be weighed less on the basis of lives lost and war prolonged through work stoppages than by pleas of eXpediency and the fear that renouncing the pledge might play into management's hands and elect an anti- labor Congress Today labor Is big and strong It can afford to be both brave and responsible, as many of It's leaders are now. But If organized labor feels that 1t has lost public support during the war, 1t can look to itself for the chief blame.
 There have been too many strikes against a sloW-moving War Labor Board, and too many for trivial causes, for 1t to be said, as U. A. W. speakers did, that It was management which goaded workers into those wildcat strikes to discredit Che labor movement. Surely union leaders must realize they cannot achieve the c. I. o. postwar plan by taking a mili- tant antagonism into the peacetime world. For their own sake and their country's they must plan to compose their not insoluble difficulties peaceably, as well as to stand up for their rights as bravely as they have done in the past.

Military Publicity

An envelope arrived at this desk today from Headquarters Ninth Air Force, European Theater of Operations It was marked Official Business and addressed to the Military Editor. Surely it must be Important, we thought, since, with air plane space and fuel at a premium, it had been flown straight from the scene of action.
 The envelope was handsome, two color job in black and red. That extra printing job may have added tiny drop to the wars cost, but surely important official business deserves a neat and attractive package.
 The contents had been passed by the SHAEF Field Censor, and was marked for immediate release. And this, except for altered name and address, was the message:
 "A Ninth Air Force Service Command Unit in France: Eleven years ago, about this time of year, Pvt. Joseph DoakeS of Gopher Corners, Kan, now with the Ninth Air Force Service Command in France, fin ished second in the National Marble Shooting Contests at Ocean City, N. J. Today he is with an Air Depot Group, somewhere in Normandy.
 'Doakes says he has plans for his bank roll after the war. His father passed away while he was stationed in England. we sort of had plans for a neighbor- hood grocery store when the draft board stepped in he added. Now that dads zone, guess I'll have to tackle the job nlyself.s"
 That was it. The soldiers real name is omitted for obvious reasons We have no wish to make light of his per
