80 Stee|workers Indicted
In Weinon Disturbance
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW CUMBERLAND, w. Va,
April 12.-Thirty members of the
CIO-United Steelworkers were in
dicted by a Hancock County grand
jury yesterday on misdemeanor and
felony charges, the outgrowth of in
cidents at the Weirton Steel Co.
plant that last week resulted in
State police taking over law enforce
ment in Weirton.
Twenty-Five of those indicted, all
on charges of unlawful assemble :,
misdemeanor, were arrested while
distributing CLIO literature at the
Weirton steel plant gates last
March 80. 1t was the arrest of these
men that brought from Gov. M. M.
Nicely proclamation directing State
police to preserve peace in the busy
steel community.
One other misdemeanor indict-
ment charged four workers with
"inciting to riot" and five men were
charged with violation of the Red
Man Act, which William j. Moore,
prosecuting attorney for Hancock
County, defined as conspiracy to in
f1ict bodily injury.
Mr.. Moore said all 80 men were
ordered to appear April "a, when
arguments for a change of venue
will be heard before Circuit Judge

Paper Collections
lin Schools Slow Up
Due 10 Holidays

Paper collections yesterday at
schools visited in connection with
The Evening Star-PTA Salvage
for Victory program ran consid-
erably lighter than had been ex-
pected, due perhaps to the Easter
holidays.
A total of 31,13O pounds was
picked up bringing collections to
date to 4,075,9l9 pounds.
The number of large collections
was less than usual They included
Buchanan, with 1874 pounds; RAN
dali, with $3.50 pounds; Garnet-Pat-
terson. with 1850 pounds; Bryan,
with 2,760 pounds, and jefferson,
with 1000 pounds.
Today's collections are expected
to give a considerable boost to the
total but whether it will be possible
to make the fifth million pounds in
20 days-the present goal-depends
on whether, in the remaining Is
days, the required daily average of
$4,000 pounds can be sufficiently ex-
ceeded to pick up 24,000-pound
deficit after the first two districts
collections.
Collections tomorrow in the fourth
district, together with the leaders.

1a SPEAKING Oe \B BOOKS
 JOE PRIVATE SAYS
Do the Germans and the Japanese Provide THEIR soldiers
 with libraries?
JoE PRIVATE SAYS :;

Believe me, G.I., that's thought to ponder over when you walk to the Base Library at Bradley Field! They have just reopened with new lights, new furniture, new floors and NEW BOOKS provided by a generous Uncle Sam for your use and enjoyment. There is only one thing that you are asked to con- tribute in return for all this-and that is INTEREST. Visits to other Army Libraries in the First Serv-. ice Command show the sad fact that Bradley lags in this respect although it offers all that the other libraries do. The latest books, a well-rounded collection of non-fc- tion, magazines and newspapers, as we'll as reference material are provided. Individual study tables afford an opportunity for privacy for letter-writing, and every Tues day evening there is a concert of recorded music, built around re- quests by interested people. Get wise, Bradley Field GI. to the op- portunities for relaxation and amusement that your Base Library has to offer!
 The Army Times has just intro duced a monthly publication called Book Notes which contains book reviews and news about books of special interest to Army person nel. From it's first issue we quote reviews of books which are in the Base Library.
 "Know Your Math in "A Hours" is the heading on an advertisement of WARTIME REFRESHER IN FUNDAMENTAL MATHEMAT- 1CS. The book consists of "A one hour lessons which are a complete brush-up in the mathematics you must know in military and indus trial tests.
 Described as a landmark in the history of war is MAKERS OF MODERN STRATEGY, edited by Edward Mead Earle. All phases of war are covered-strategy, tactics, logistics, morale, economics, imper- ialism, geopolitics, land war, sea war, and air war. It's top-notch job, greatly needed book of per- manent value.
 DESERT CONQUEST by Rus sell Hill, tells the story of the British Eighth Army in it's 1900 mile drive to Tunis, as seen by an experienced newspaper correspon- dent. It's a first class job of report ing!
 Even in mechanical warfare, so- called dumb animals play a vital part. Dogs, pigeons, horses, mules, camels, cats and elephants all play specialized roles. True to tradition, the Japanese have developed dog borne bomb, sure death to the car rier. MT. Dempewolff in ANIMAL REVEILLE has written a splendid evaluation of the animals who as- sist the fighting men of this war.
 In the column headed, "They're Tops" the Army Times Book Notes lists the following: Betty Smiths nostalgia story of tenement childhood in a big city, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn; "So Little Time" by J. P. Marouand; two best sellers with a religious theme, "The Robe," by Lloyd Douglas and "The Apostle" by Sholem Asch. The reign of these four novels is threatened by Ilka Chase's brittle story of sophisticated matrimonv. "In Bed We Cry," and Mary o. Hara's Western tale of a boy and his horse "Thunderhead." Non-fic- tion in much demand are "Under Cover" by J. R. Carlson; Burma Surgeon" by G. s. Seagrave, and "Paris Underground" by Etta

Reports "a" Book Troubles
To the Editor of The Star:

~ tne Eoltor OF the Star:
Perhaps our experience with the gaso-
line ration board-which we have no
reason to believe is other than typical
will explain why the black market in
gasoline Is becoming a nightmare to
the OPA.
On January % my husband lost his
gas ration book "a" The main office
OF the OPA gave us the number of our
board. On February he mailed his
application for a replacement of the
book. One week later he received q
card requesting him to appear before
the board at 4 pm. the following
wednesday. Upon calling the board
and finding that no appointments were
made later in the day, he took time of
from his essential war job to go before
the board. The members asked him
two questions, both of which appeared
on the application, and both of which
he has answered fully. They informed
him that his new book would be mailed
within week
Our next communication from the
board, instead Of his new "A" book. was
curt note informing him that he had
filed with the wrong board and that the
application, which it was returning,
would have to be sent to another board.
(Of course, it was impossible for the old
board to put the application and other
necessary information in an envelope
and mail it to the board which 1t said
was ours) @
The application now has been in the
hands of the new board for a week.
The members tell us that they can do
nothing until they receive the file from
the old board and have reviewed it.
For over a month we have been with
out an "a" gasoline book, which is
rightfully ours, simply because tie ra-
ton boards apparently don't know what
territory they cover, and make no effort
to cooperate with one another-or the
public.
If other applicants have similar ex-
perience it is no wonder that the black
market in gasoline is f1ourishing in

other South American governments.
Military juntas with divergent per-
sonal interests have come into being
and the numerous political upsets IN
Argentina indicate that we may be con-
fronted with such a chaotic situation
that 1t will be difficult, If not impossible,
to utilize whatever surplus Of meats
and other agricultural products might
be available for export.
At the food conference at Hot Springs.
Va, last May, the Russian representa-
tives were bluntly outspoken about the
prospective food shortage. They warned
the other delegates of serious conse-
quences for the United Nations If suf-
ficient quantities of food did not reach
Russia in time.
What steps have been taken to REM
edy the situation have been kept secret.
According to latest reports, it seems
doubtful that Russia has received
enough to provide for its fighting forces
and the civilian population. The Soviet
delegate pointed out that hunger can
drive people to despair 1t stands to
reason. he Is said to have declared, that
the Russian peasant cannot grow food
when the best arabic land Is occupied
by the Nazis.
Since then, much fertile ground has
been reconquered, but there was insult
flcient time to till it. Whatever stores
Of food may have existed at the time of
the Nazi occupation have either been
taken into Germany or destroyed by the
retreating enemy.

cal warfare was based on the Atlantic
Charter, and airmen were dropping
leaflets with its text over German
towns.
But Mr. Churchill's speech undoes all
this. He made the fiat statement that
the Atlantic Charter does not apply
in any sense to the enemy. The term
unconditional surrender" means that
we end the war, he explained, with
no promises of any kind. We remain
free to do exactly as we please, bound
by no principles whatever-beyond the
assurance, hardly necessary to make,
that we will not behave in a "barbaric"
manner.
DR.. Goebbels has struggled for two
years to explain to the German peo-
pie that the Atlantic Charter was win
efforts.
Now, why do we want to free our
hands and rid ourselves of all COM
mitments? Is 1t because we have a
plan for Germany and Europe which
we prefer not to publicize? Or is it
because We have no plan at all, and
wish to be free to adjust ourselves to
events as they may develop?
This question is of primary impor-
tance. I am aware that in discussing
the future Of Germany, I run the risk
OF being accused of peculiar considera-
ton for our enemy. But no one capable
of coherent thought can deny that the
solution arrived at in the German
question will determine the future of
the whole Of Europe and the future
relations between the great powers.
If we have no plan, but intend
merely to adjust ourselves to what
ever events may turn up, the question
is: Has the Soviet Union a plan?
The answer to that is certainly yes"
The Soviet Union has, no doubt, several
plans. 1t, too, will adjust itself to events.
Soviet policy is predicated on what steps
the American powers may take.
The Soviet Union obviously cannot
Evening star., 1944-03-01

be sufhcient to feed the entire Russian
population and the Red Army, but it
appears certain that after July the
fighting men will have sufYlcient to eat
from Russia's own sources.
The vital problem presented to the
American Government Is to supply the
Red Army with suficient food to keep
the fighting men going until the new
crops come in. In the eyes Of the food
experts, this Is pretty big order.
Besides providing food for the Ameri-
can forces and civilian population, the
Government Is pledged to contribute cer-
tain quantities for British civilians and
military forces and must feed the people
Of North Africa as well as a large and
completely impoverished but densely
populated section Of Italy. It Is ques-.
tionable whether American supplies
alone will be sufficient
The food experts are looking toward
Argentina. It was hoped that from
the time the Argentine government
broke diplomatic relations with the
Axis the previous strained relationship
would disappear and the American
Government would be able to purchase
the available quantities Of cheese and
beef.
Unfortunately, the problem Is not as
easy as it was thought at first when
Buenos Aires broke with the Axis. The
Argentine government, In the light OF
developments Of the last four weeks,
has less OF grip on its population and
the country's political groups than most

taken issue with the speech, we may
take it the abandonment of the charter
Is established policy.
The purpose in framing principles
for peace is to plan future security.
In August, 1941, when the Atlantic
Charter was drafted, its principles were
considered in this light. Thus terri
torial changes by force were considered
as menace to security: SO was inter-
vention in the political affairs of other
nations; so was continued heavy arma-
ment after the war.
Furthermore, the presumption Of the
Atlantic Charter was that It's basic
principles applied to all-victor and
vanquished alike. In points 4, and 8,
this was made specific The Allied
governments pledged to "all states, great
or small. victor or vanquished" equal
access to the trade and raw materials
Of the world %; all nations were as
sured "the means of dwelling in safety
within their own boundaries (6) the
unlateral disarmament of the Axis was

ment 81.

They may, of course, intend to sup
port them and to keep their grip on
the Petsamo nickel mines as long as
possible. They may even intend to
turn on their present allies, the Firms,
and take over control of the country,
as they have done elsewhere. All this
would call for STRINGS about in North
ern Norway, whence the bulk of the
support for any Of these procedures
must come.
But there are also some very definite
hints that the Germans may mean to
evacuate Northern Norway, and per-
haps the whole of Norway. They hard
ly will do this until the matter of Gen.
Dietls seven divisions is disposed Of
these must be rescued first, one would
think, If Norwegian evacuation is ac-
tually in the cards, and they cannot at
present be rescued by sea because the
Gulf of Bothnia is still icebound and
the ports on the upper part Of the Gulf
will not be open for navigation until
May.

Letters to The Star
Blood Donor Tells Why She IL
Proud to Give of Herself
70 the Editor Of The Star:

70 the Editor Of The Star:
Today I received. a decoration, q
small, round disk pin, Pro Patria (For
Country over the seal. All my life I
will cherish this pin, because it typifies
something very personal and very big
in my life. Today I became part of
America in both tangible and an in
tangible way. I positively injected into
the life-stream of my country part of
myself-only a pint Of blood, yes, and
yet infinitely more; much more than
even words can express or time evaluate.
I gave Of myself good, fine, rich, in
vigorating, pure blood that will assist in
saving a human life and in giving
America another proud citizen to honor
the Stars and Stripes. Perhaps the
recipient may be father of little
Americans, citizens of the next century,
and they bless the blood donor un-
known to them who helped to send their
dad back home from World War II.
Thus my blood, my love for America,
my ideals and affirmative hopes for her
ever-expanding destiny, all become a
part OF my country's present and fu-
ture.
I feel proud to reflect that I am
citizen, who has been privileged to give
part Of myself, pint of blood, to
America, and yet it is so very trivial
when read the headlines in the papers
telling OF our boys in the service who
courageously are giving their entire
lives, sacrificing every dream and plan
of their youth to preserve the four
freedoms and the American way.
During World War I worked for the
American Red Gross; after the war
married and was blessed with mother
hood. and now, after % years out of the
business world I am happy to be back
in 1t, a warworker for Uncle Sam in
World War II. Today I experienced
new thrills and realizations as I be-
came an integral part of my country's
present and future destiny as a blood
donor. For every reader of these words
I covet the same personal, patriotic
satisfaction. Won't you phone the
American Red Cross today District
$4,000 and become volunteer blood
donor? This is the season of Lent
when we each and all should think
more deeply and give more generously,
M r
