John A. Singerhoff, USMS, a VISA
representative in Italy advises.
Truckloads Of sorely needed food,
first stop to rehabilitation Of liberated
areas, arrived at Cisterna and Valletri,
on the outskirts of Rome less than
hours after Allied forces had shelled
the Nazis out of those towns, Lieut..
Singerhoff, former Washington news
paper man, reports. Food trucks from
the beachhead went forward immedi-
ately behind munitions, artillery and
troops of the front-line units. In al
most every village, food and equip
ment for rebuilding arrived before
civilian refugees returned to their
homes from hillside shelters.
Within 10 hours after the Allied
forces entered Rome huge vans of
wheat, -four and canned goods awaited
systematic distribution to the needy.
Other Army Transport trucks SINH
larly laden, were assigned to follow
troops on their victorious march be-
yond the Tiber
This column endorses the following
short, pointed editorial entitled Gin
land" in the Wall Street Journal of
July 3:
"Risking snarl from our red and
popular front contingent, we express
the belief that the vast majority of
Americans will regret the situation
which caused our government to break
relations with Finland
son the eve of the American hide
dependence Day, we believe that most
Americans will cherish the hope that
at some future time the United States
will be influential in helping the Firms
regain their independence. That is all
that little nation is asking"

WHAT NEXT?

One of our battleships, SO badly
damaged by the Japanese planes at
Pearl Harbor that she was given up
for lost, is now back in service, far
more formidable than before. Today
she carries more anti-aircraft arma-
ment than all the ships at Pearl Har-
Dor together. By herself, she can
throw up enough ack-ack to shield an
entire convoy, the Navy Department
says.

BUY BONDS FOR
SOLDIER MEMBERS
ADVICE TO UNIONS

Cleveland.-A proposal that men,
bers of every local union buy war
bond for each member in the armed
services was put before the interna-
tional Stereotypers' and Electrotypers'
Union by James ]. Kelly, editor of the
organizations monthly journal.
In letter to AFL President Will
liam Green, Mr. Kelly asked that this
idea be suggested to all other AFL or
ganizations as means of promoting
the Fifth War Loan Drive and Of
showing "our membership in the serv-
ices that we appreciate the sacrifices
they are making for u.s." He described
his plan as follows:
can ideal way of doing this would
be for local union to organize
War Bond pool Drawings could be
held weekly or semi-monthly. A War
Bond, the denomination to be decided
by the local union, could be awarded
the winner and with the surplus funds
another War Bond could be purchased
for member in the service, until each
member uniform receives bond"
Emphasizing the benefits in good
will and morale which his plan would
bring about, Mr. Kelly added:
"The working man is always the
working mans best friend. If every
union affiliated with the AFL spon-
sored the above idea for their mem
bers in the service, the anti-labor in
terests would have one hell Of time
trying to smear any labor union to
servicemen."

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS
TINE issue of feeding the children

TINE issue of feeding the children
l. of German Europe will
not down. Even though France has
been invaded and the fight to liberate
Europe seems to be progressing fav-
orably, diplomatic representatives of
France, Belgian, Holland and Norway
fear the children of their countries
may have to endure another winter of
German rule and have asked the
United States to send vitamins and es-
sential foods to prevent starvation.
This is the course favored by the
American Federation of Labor, whose
executive council last January asked
sending of food to the children, with
proper precautions taken to prevent
its beneftting the Germans.
The Temporary Council on Food for
Europe's Children has urged sending
of food for many months and in April,
the councils chairman, Howard E.
hcISllIlGI dppGd1Cd W ISSldCIC IhOOSS-
welt to "start the mercy ships before
it is too late" But nothing was done,
apparently because of the stiff-necked
opposition of the British government,
which has blocked food relief to any
extent, except to Greece.
i
That the Allied Military Govern
ment is doing a good job of delivering
food to Italian war victims in hber-
ated parts of Italy is indicated by
report of the War Shipping Admins
istration. Food supplies, taken to the
Anzio beachhead by American mer-
chant ships are reaching the hungry
within 5 hours of German excavations
north Of Rome, the VISA says. More
than 5000 tons of cargo are being de-
livered daily at Anzio, Lieut.. (j.g)

Mr.. Quesnel, who is also general
manager of the Greater New York
Safety Council, said that cut OF
100000 below last years accident
total was the aim.
In listing the reduction OF 8 per
cent in accidents so far this year, Mr..

TROUBLE FOR ANTI-LABOR
LAWS

Organized labor's fight against re-
strictive labor legislation in the states
is bearing fruit. Last year many legis-
latures passed labor restrictive laws
This year all pending bills of the kind
have been defeated in the seven regu-
lar sessions held by state legislatures.
Also, labor is making gains in its
legal war on state anti-union laws. In
South Dakota, AFL unions have just
won a partial victory in an attack on
law passed last year. One clause was
upheld but other drastically curbing
long established union rights were
declared unconstitutional
An analysis of decision by the
Alabama Supreme Court, handed down
in May, also shows some gains for
labor The court upheld the larger
part of the law, it is true. Specifically
it upheld the requirement of labor
unions to file copies of their constitu-
tion and bylaws; ban on the collec-
tion of money for work permits and
a prohibition against executives, man
ayers and supervisory employees from
becoming members of unions.
The court, however, struck out por-
tions of the law as unconstitutional,
including ban on workers refusing
to handle or work materials or sup
plies not produced by union labor. The
court held such action" is simply a
refusal to perform contract for per-
sonal service, and that it infringes
closely upon the Thirteenth Amend
ment to the federal constitution pro-
hibiting involuntary servitude of any
character" The court also voided
section prohibiting strikes except
when authorized by secret ballot of
majority of employees, since "a pro-
hibition to strike placed upon a min
ority group, unless sanctioned by Sc
cret ballot of others who are without
interest in their welfare, is an unreas-
enable and arbitrary restraint"
The court also ruled on question
of national interest when it eliminated
from the law a provision making IL
legal trade union political contribu-
tions. The decision held that it was
evident that "the legislature intended
to put organizations of employees and
employers ON the same basis and that
the exclusion of the organizations of
employers from the provision of this
section" is against the legislative in
tent and therefore void
The foregoing shows that labor can
make progress against anti-union laws
in the legal field as well as in the leg
islative field. The lesson is plain. The
campaign must be pushed with vigor,
to forestall further retrogressive labor
legislation and remove from the
statute books such legislation already
in effect.

BombersOver Reich Anew
Continued from Page D

"when I arrived the target area was clearly marked for us. All the defenses were in action. Scores of searchlights were working, either in cones or singly.
 Just before we dropped our bombs there was Q great orange flash below, and then thick black smoke rolled up into the sky. We dropped our bombs, and as We turned for home we could see fires growing rapidly"
 Two planes were lost in the att tacks and in subsidiary mine-laying operations.
 Mediterranean-based RAF We'll ington and Liberator bombers min- ed the Danube river again during the night.
 American Flying Fortresses and Liberators, 750 strong, from Italian bases paced yesterdays two-day as- sault on France, bombing seven rail- way targets in the Nice, Lyon and French Alps regions.
 American and British medium and fighter-bombers took over the full weight of the offensive from Britain while weather grounded the big Fortresses and Liberators.
 All raids were on railways and air fields in northern France, with 325 Marauders and Havocs of the 9th U. S. Air Force participating in evening operations alone. At least one railway bridge was toppled into a river.
