Strike
Backed
by JAW

Waiter Reuther, vice president
of the UAW-CIO announced in
Washington today that the full
support of the JAWS 100000
members in the Detroit area will
be thrown solidly behind the
Montgomery Ward strike.
Approximately 1.500 Mont.
gomery Ward employees in four
stores have walked off the job.
Although picket lines have been
thrown around each store, all are
operating with skeleton STATS.
BLANIES COMPANY
Reuther's statement said:
Montgomery Ward a. Co.,
bears full responsibility of the
strike which has been called
in its Detroit stores by the
United Retail, Wholesale and
Department Store Workers,
Go.
THE company has defied the
federal government; it has set
itself up above the War Labor
Board and the courts. Under
the circumstances, the battle Of
the Montgomery Ward work
ers becomes the fight of every
uniOnist and every American
that believes in fair play"
THE workers will receive the
full support of the JAWS
100000 members In this area.
CITES CHICAGO CASE
Both the Go and the JAW
Go supported the Montgomery
Ward workers when they were
compelled to strike in Chicago.
The UAW-CIO at that time
donated $4,000 to the workers.
We intend to see this job
through with all the weapons at
our disposal.
The Montgomery Ward man
agement can not hide behind a
smoke screen of patriotism. It's
stores are not engaged in the
interests of war work or war
production of any kind.
THE company VIII not be per-
mitted TO evade the conse-
quences Of its deliberate and
continued defiance Of the courts
and agencies Of the United
States, as well as the rights of
its employees"
John Barr, labor relations coun-
sci for the company. issued the
following statement in Chicago:

LIE is right that there are violent and evil forces
- intent upon having Europe "iquidated and
degenerated and plunged into series of brutal
civil and social wars
He is right that the present choice in Europe
is between democracy and anarchy and that:
The last thing that resembles democracy
is mob iatO uOith bands of gangsters armed
With deadly rDeapons forcing their rOay into
Greek cities, Selling police stations and key
points of government, and endeoUoring to in
troduce totalitarian regime"
He is right in exposing and denouncng the
Communist inspired and directed disturbance in
Greece as "a carefully planned coup d'etat by
murder gangs and by the iron rule of ruffians seek
ing to climb into the seats of power without vote
even having been cast in their favor
LIE WAS right that eff that is to masquerade as
IA democracy, think the House will unite in
condemning it as a mockery"
The House of Commons DID condemn it as
mockery, and it rs mockery.
The violence in Greece is not democratic
demonstration but an evil enterprise designed to
create anarchy in Greece,
It is not an enterprise of the people of Greece,
but of evil consprators exploiting the recent sub
jugation of Greece and the present misery of
Greece.
It is not in the interest of FREE Greece,
but of a Greece plunged first into anarchy and
thence into Communistic system of government
which always must have its roots in anarchy.
The British policy in Greece has not been one
of Intervention against free choice of government
by the people OF Greece, and it is distortion of
fact if not deliberate Misrepresentation of fact to
call it that.
THE British policy in Greece was accurately and
Il honestly stated by Mr.. Churchill as one of
creating "the foundation of a fair and free cleo
tion based upon universal suffrage"
The British policy in Greece is not to abandon

LONDON, Dec. II (UP)-
Russian front reports said
the Germans were evacuat-
ing the Hungarian capital of

Russian bombs and shells
today, leaving a doomed rear
guard to cover their flight
from the burning city.

peared imminent as converging
Russian armies crashed TO the

Moscow said the fleeing Nazis
were abandoning their wounded
and huge pile of equipment in a
desperate attempt TO escape.

rons joiQed battle with the Red

said the Russian filters were taking

Fanaucal German rear guards
remained in the barricaded Buda-
pest streets and along the fianks
of the Nazi escape corridor, but
Moscow indicated they could do
little more than delay the Red
army entry.
RUSE SUSPECTED
Earlier reports had indicated
that the bulk of the German and
Hungarian garrison was digging in
for a death stand inside the city,
but the Moscow dispatches sug-
gested this activity was a ruse TO
cover the evacuation.
The German rmore d screen
drawn around the city began to

Of futile counterattacks that cost
the enemy scores of tanks and
hundreds Of other combat vehicles.

The Churchill Speech

DRIME MINISTER CHURCHILL has won
vote of confidence in the British Parliament on
the issue of British policy in Italy and Greece and
in the European crisis generally, and DESERVES
to win
Mr.. Churchill's policy. in fact, deserves even
wider support than the vote in Parliament reflects
and unquestionably has it.
He has the preponderant support of the
British people.
In spite of the hasty and ill-considered action
of the American state department in assuming an
attitude of intercesson in Italy and Greece he has
the earnest support of the American people.
Mr.. Churchill deserves support because he is
RIGHT.

Fointest Star
 Is Discovered

Cambridge. Mass, Jan. T- (UP)-Dtscovery of the faintest star yet known in the universe was re- ported to Harvard observatory to- day by Dr. G. Van Biesbroeck of Mcdonald Observatory at Fort Davis, Texas.
 The new star, as yet unnamed, is located l9 1-2 light years, or ap- proximately IA, 4,465, ,559, 500, 900 miles. from earth, and is a companion of the star known as ED plus 4 degrees 4048. The nearest star to earth is Alpha Centauri, which is about 1 1-3 light years distant.
 Dr. Van Biesbroeck described the newly found star as being only 1000, 000th as bright as the sun. Heretofore, 1t was said, the faint est known star was Wolf 35o, which is l00.00Oth as bright as the sun.
 Astronomers believe that the new Undiscovered star shines by its own light and not by reflected light, in view of its vast distance from Its companion star.
 It was the second important as- .r5nomical discovery reported by Mcdonald Observatory within a week. The previous report confirmed the existence of atmosphere on Saturn's satellite, Titan.
