We draw back, as do all human beings, from pain and. suf- fering. We hide our faces from sor- row. We weep silently because the mighty are contemptuous with us, and people go out of their way to show us how little and insignificant they think we are.
 And yet, this is all good for our souls. Such circumstances are like the rough road which holds the car firm inagtorny weather A smooth highway might ven land us over in the ditch. The rough. hard road has it's utility.

 Briefly put, it boils down to the fact that General Stilwell served an ultimatum on Generalissimo Chiang- to cooperate with other Chinese armies in wag- ing war against Japan, and you can't serve ultimatums on the head of another government.
 U. s. Ambassador Clarence Gauss also called on the Gener- alissimo regarding the same ques- tion of cooperation, but being diplomat he merely suggested.
 Actually, the controversy re- wolves around question discussed by this writer last summer, in a column vigorously criticized by the Chinese, reporting that most of the real fighting against the Japs had been done by the North ern Chinese so-called Communist Army. Chiang Kai-shek's war lords, on the other hand, have fought the so-called Communists, thus indirectly aiding the Japs.
 Vice President Wallace, inci- dentally, had an indirect hand in the Stilwell controversy and, strangely enough, he and acid- tongued Vinegar Joe" found themselves in basic agreement. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED
 Here is the rather complicated story of what happened:
 Two years ago party of Amer jeans, fleeing from the Japs af- ter Pearl Harbor, travelled through northern China With the assist ance of Chinese Communist guer- rilas, got a detailed picture of guerrilla effectiveness, later made a report to Roosevelt, who was impressed with their findings.
 Later, when Madame Chiang Kai-shek came here on her first visit, FDR questioned her at length regarding the guerrilla army. She dismissed the whole idea as Communist propaganda, claimed no such army really ex- iSted.
 But Roosevelt, not satisfied, called in MariEe Corps Colonel
 Evans Carlson, hero of Maxim Island, who had spent several years with the Chinese Com munists. Carlson confirmed that they were the most effec- tive army in China.
 Finally, last spring, Roosevelt sent Wallace to China, specifically instructed him to arrange for a U. s. military mission to visit the Communist Army. This was not easy. First, Wallace got Chiang's permission to visit the Commun- ists. Later, he had to get per- mission from the Communist guerillas to receive an American military mission. This was really difficult.
 At first, the Communists were skeptical, but after considerable Vice Presidential persuasion, they agreed.
 COMMUNISTS GOOD FIGHTERS
 That mission last summer re- ported directly to the White House, confirming previous ideas that CD the Chinese Commun- ists have about 500,000 loyal troops, though poorly equipped; CD they have another 100000 potential fighters now doing guerrilla work behind Jap lines; (S) they have superior intelligence regarding Jap operations; (4) their comman- der, Tse-tung, has brilliant rec ord of resisting the Japs to the last ditch.
 Result of all this was that the United States faced the all formative of working directly with the Communists, which would affect Chiang Kai-shek,, or of trying to get Chiang Kali shek t0 work with them so the

landlord in Anchorage has refunded
to certain tenants in an apartment

(FP)-Company lawyers croco-

sion from the third circuit court
OF appeals here.
Written by Judge Charles Al

tempt OF court for circulating an
snti-union letter among the 49,

The NLRB charged that
Budd's letter, by showing a def

In his decision and in argu-
ments before the court, Jones
ruled that the employer had

The case arose on a complaint

Price Control

Local unions are giving the
Price Control Act their backing
during the present week which
has been named by Mayor Lloyd
Roulet as Price Control Week. y
Petitions are being circulated
throughout the various CIO Lo-
Gals calling for Price Control
Act which will be effective in
maintaining price stabilization.
Included i'm the petition is the
request that sufficient funds oe
given OPA to enforce the price
control act.
Petitions were passed out 1T
the Price Control meeting held
al the Toledo Industrial Union
Council on May l3. They will be
C irculat e d among consumer
groups throughout the city and
mailed to congress before the
Price Control Act comes up for
congressional vote.
Amendments Proposed
Many amendments have been
proposed TO the act which If
passed would result in higher
rents and increased food costs to
the consumers. Labor leaders
and consumers organizations say
that if the Price Control Act is
not given full force and enabled
to hold prices down, that a seri-
Gus initiation will result, which
will cut down the workers puc-
chasing power and cripple the
War Labor Boards rulings.
Local IL members may sign
the petitions in the Local IL dues
office or in their shops, where
the petitions are being circulated
by the shop committees and
stewards.
