refused to heed the command. This
finally resulted yesterday in the
seizure by presidential order Of
five Of the largest machine shops
affected by the union ban.
It is interesting to note that the
WLB order, which the Presidents
action is designed to enforce, does
not require any individual to work 4
longer week than he desires, but
merely directs the union to rescind
its ban on overtime 50 the rank and
file workers can make their own
choice without fear of union penal
ties. Whether this will prove effec-
tive, in the light Of the past attitude
of Mr.. Dillon and Mr.. Hook, is ques-
tionable. But one must assume that

forced the issue, is prepared to use

World Communications

The significance of the current
meetings between a State Depart
ment committee and representatives
OF our radio and cable companies is
that they are designed to work out
an agreement on the policy and pro-
gram to be advocated by our Gov
ernment at forthcoming interna-
tional conferences on world commu-
nications. Nothing could be more
important, for this is a subject that
bears directly not merely upon
American pocketbooks but upon the
character Of the next peace as we'll.
Shorn of its numerous technical
aspects, at the risk of some oversim-
plification, the picture Of global
communications can be reduced to
two basic facts. The first of these
is that British monopoly, with 10
per cent participation by the British
government, controls 10000 miles
Of cable networks and thus Is DOM
inant in this field of communicate
The second is that the United States
holds the commanding position on
the international air waves, with
American companies leading all
others in the number of radio cir
cults operating to areas overseas,
wholly apart from the remarkable
and unrivalled worldwide transmits
sion system developed by the United
States Signal Corps since the start
Of the war.
Though our pre-eminence in the
radio field presents something of q
challenge to the British cable mo-
nopoly, however, it is limited in
many respects, not the least OF
which is the fact that it is in part

II am confident he said today that
Mr.. Roosevelt will win in Michigan" In
the next breath he added. But such
a victory will depend upon our regis
teHng at least 900 of the 5000
workers who have moved into the State
to work in the war plants"
The population Of Wayne County,
which includes Detroit, has increased,
due to this influx Of workers, notwith-
standing the fact that the war has
taken many men and women away.
Detroit has been in past Roosevelt cam
paigns the stronghold Of the New Deal
Democrats. 1t Is so regarded this year.
Wayne County has cast approximately
IS to 36 per cent of the entire vote of
the State in other elections. 1t is FORE
cast by Democratic leaders that this
year, due to this increase in population
and to the efforts of the CIO and the
Democratic organization to get the
workers registered, it will cast as much
as 80 or 40 per cent of the States vote.
This, they figure, will be in the interest
OF Roosevelt victory.
The CIO is putting all the pressure
it can on workers, members of their
unions in particular. to register The
laws for registration are lenient, and
there is ample time for this campaign
of registration. The CIO is on record
In favor of the reelection of Mr.. Roose-
welt. Its Political Action Committee is
demanding. however, that all workers
register without demanding. so far that
they vote for Mr.. Roosevelt That may
be the next step-whether 1t is done
openly or not
The necessity for getting out the
labor vote, If there is to be Roosevelt
victory, is clear Michigan farmers and
small businessmen and women are
extremely antagonistic.
In 1910 Mr.. Roosevelt lost the State
to Wendell L. Willkie by 1000 votes. This
represented recession of Roosevelt
strength in four years of great propor-
tions, for Mr.. Roosevelt carried Michi-
gan in 1886 over ALI Landon by $4,000.
The Republicans hold all important
State off1ces. They have the advantage
Of State patronage and a strong or.
ganization. On the other hand, thou

BeIuted Action

The governmental seizure of five
West Coast machine shops-a moved
aimed at Lodge SO, International
Association of Machinists (AFL)-
forces a showdown with a union
whose leaders have been persistent
trouble makers for more than three
years.
Harry S. Hook and E. F. Dillon,
business agents, are the dominant
figures in Lodge SO. AS long ago as
May, 1941, they were called to &C
count by a Senate committee for
their part in shipyard strike in the
San Francisco Bay area which was
doing enormous damage to our pre-
war naval building program, and
their attitude, to put it mildly, was
defiant and homeopathic.
Early this year Lodge 68 made
headlines when the machinists re-
fused to work at the new ship rate"
on vessels built in other yards and
brought into the San Francisco area
for. adjustments after their shake
down cruises. This, they said, was
not new work, but repair work, and
would be done only at the higher
repair rate.
At about the same time Messrs.
Dillon and Hook decreed that men,
bers of the lodge could not work
more than forty Eight hours week
in certain San Francisco machine
shops. This brought from Repre-
sentative Anderson of California the
contention that the local union
leaders were guilty of "treasonable
activities" and a demand that the
War Labor Board do everything in
It's power to remove them from posi-
tions of influence In the San Fran
cisco area.
The board ordered that the over

rnents scheduled to expire at the
close Of the war. According to COM
munications experts. the postwar
competitive situation will not be
greatly changed unless Z new inter-
national understanding Is reached,
short Of which nationals OF the
United States and other countries,
when they use the British cable, viii
continue to have to pay from double
to five times the rates charged Brit
ish users. As in the past, moreover,
some American businessmen may
again and reason to complain that
their commercial messages abroad,
necessarily going through British
control points. suffer delays helpful
to their competitors In Britain.
Beyond this important pocketbook
consideration, there Is the larger
and much more significant issue of
the free now of news between coun-
try and country, an issue whose
world implications are recognized in
both the Democratic and Republican
platforms for this years presidential
campaign. In an atmosphere Of
monopolistic communications con-
troll and prohibitive and discrimina-
tory rates, suppression and distortion
Of information can readily flourish,
which is another way Of saying
that international misunderstand-
ings and frictions-prime breeders
OF war-can be set In motion. Surely
IN this field, as much as in any
other. the family of nations should
feel impelled-for the sake of an
enduring peace-to arrive at some
clear-cut agreement.
Up to now, in dealing with this
subject, the United States has faced
a handicap because twelve American
companies are engaged in the busi-
ness of international communica-
tions, so that they play themselves
of against each other and yield the
advantage to the British and other
mofopolies. James L. Fly, chairman
OF the Federal Communications
Commission, believes that the whole
world will benefit If these companies
merge into pne and thus make pos
sible bargaining on an equal footing
with foreign interests. This might
at least result In uniform rates
which would in turn promote the
free flow Of news and serve the cause
OF lasting peace. The idea merits
the most careful attention.

DETROIT. - Democratic leaders in
Michigan, while they insist that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will carry the State.
admit they have q hard, uphill hight
ahead Of them.
They are trying out new setup, with
the CIO on the one hand and E. Cyril
Bevan, the new Democratic national
committeeman, on the other, Mr.. Bevan' s
election As national committeeman at
the recent Democratic National Conven-
ton was not accomplished without q
tight.
Indeed, the Democratic party in
Michigan has been badly split into fac
tions In recent years. Mr.. Bevan frank
ly admits that his job Is to draw AL
the factions together for this campaign.
Judging from the way some OF the
other leaders talk, 1t will be q miracle
II he succeeds.
In the ANAL analysis, the only real
hope the Democrats have here Is based
on Roosevelt and the war. II the war
with Germany should be over several
weeks, or even . short time, before the
election, the Roosevelt chances In this
State would materially diminish, As may
be the case in other parts Of the country.
This year the ballot IN Michigan has
been divided into two parts-one strictly
q presidential ballot and the other a
State ballot. which also includes the
names of the candidates for Congress.
On this presidential ballot will be
printed the names Of the Democratic.
Republican and America First party
candidates for President and Vice Presi-
lent, and those Of the candidates Of
any other political parties that can
qualify.
The Roosevelt supporters hope this
win make it easier to carry the State
for the fourth term candidate. Some
Of the Democrats admit that their
chances to put across their State ticket,
headed by Edward J. Fry. almost a
political unknown, are slim, indeed.
Mr.. Bevan was campaign manager for
Mr. Fry when the latter was seeking the
gubernatorial nomination. He has, there
fore. distinct responsibility to 60 to bat
for the State ticket. The odds appear.
however, to be strongly in favor Of the
reelection OF Gov. Kelly, Republican,
who is completing his first term.
While Mr.. Bevan does not agree to
the Republican charge that the C1O is
taking over the Democratic party in
Michigan. he admits that the activities
OF the CIO in getting the workers in war
plants registered will play 4 tremen-
dously important part in any Roosevelt

Two Great Generals
By Maj. George Fielding Eliot

Undoubtedly the most significant
statement concerning the present mill
tary situation in France is that con-
tanned in Gen. Eisenhowers order of
the day to the forces under his COM
mand: you have created In France a
fleeting but definite opportunity for q
major Allied victory"
That Is the situation in a nutshell
and let us not lose sight of either OF
the commander in chiefs adjectives
Fleeting but definite.
The opportunity Is feeting because
the Germans are trying desperately to
escape from the trap in which they nave
been caught. From painful experience
Gen. Eisenhower knows well the tacti-
cal resourcefulness of his German enc
mics. He has studied the numerous
occasions in which they have esca ped
from Russian traps that seemed abso-
lutely certain to annihilate German ar
mics, corps, divisions. He has ohserrsd
the Germans get away from Allied en-
trapments In Italy: losing heavily. leav-
ing equipment behind, but saving the
bulk of their fighting force in men. He
realizes that it does not pay to be cver-
confident with these tough. hard Tight
ing, experienced opponents.

But the opportunity Is nevertheless
definite because the Allied forces are
actually behind the bulk Of the Ger
man 7th Army. between that Army
and Paris. cutting its lines of supply
and of retreat. If the American armor
which has swung round the German
left flank to LIE Mans and then cut
northward across the German rear to
Alencon and Argentan can continue to
advance, and If the infantry which is
following 1t can close and keep closed
the main east-west highways which are
the German life lines. then in this SEC
tor the trap has definitely closed. II
the Canadians and British. driving south
astride the Orne, can get into Falaise
and Conde-Sur- -Noireau, and from Fa-
laise can reach out armored fingers to
clasp hands with the American tanks
coming up from Argentan, then the
trap has definitely snapped shut.
But for the greatest results, all this
must Be accomplished before any great
part Of the German 7th Army has with
drawn east of the Falaise- -Arkentan-
Alencon-Le Mans highway. Such With
drawals can be prevented, In part, by
pressure on the retreating Germans by
the Allied ground forces which are fol-
lowing them up; It can be accomplished
In part BY grim holding Of position by

front Of the retreating Germans: 1t can
be accomplished in part by constant
hammering away by Allied artillery at
those escape routes which are not yet
barred by our infantry and armor Is
this enough? Probably not; for pur-
suit by tired men in broken country
can be delayed out of all proportion by
small enemy rear guard detachments;
the Allied forces in the enemy rear may
not always be strong enough to stand
their ground at crucial points: and ar
t1llery fire at night cannot be accur-
ately adjusted and observed, and even
in daylight is not always fully effective.
Probably a major share Of RESPONSE
bility for checking the German escape
will fall upon the Allied air forces.
They have longed for chance to catch
the Germans retreating in broad day.

on this August IA. The Allied air COM
mander, Air Chief Marshal Sir Traf-
ford Leigh-Mallory has said confidently
that when the Germans attempt a full
scale retreat the Allied air forces will
destroy them on the roads. 1t is quite
possible that this will actually hap
pen, at least in part.

At the moment, and with full realiza-
ton that the available information Is
fragmentary and incomplete, it still
looks from here as though the Allied
forces in France have an excellent
chance to carry to successful compile

against the German 7th Army. Only
one main highway, that through Falaise

way. that from Falaise to lie Bourg

once to sit beside their British and
American colleagues.
It was fully expected until last week
In Washington that either Andrei
Vishinsky or Maxim Lityinof1, both
below Foreign Commissar Vyacheslav
Molotov and Premier Stains intimate
advisors, would attend this conference
together with Undersecretary Edward
Stettinius and Britain's Undersecretary
Alexander Cadogan. The presence Of

sented by Andrei Gromyko. Russians

has been In Moscow for some time to
report on certain conditions In the

vinov to Dumbarton Oaks as an adviser.
no one here expected him to head the
delegation.
The pattern for peace. 20 far as the
u. 8. 8. r. Is concerned, has been clearly
cut by the Moscow government and Is
now being enforced. It's attitude toward
the Polish government in exile, for In
stance, is q clear indication of the
Kremlin's frame OF mind. The Russian
government. acceding to the pressing
request of Mr.. Churchill, received Po-
lands Premier Mickolajczyk, but sent
him back to London when he insisted
on the maintenance Of the 1885 consti-
tuition, which the Polish Committee Of
Liberation organized in 1912 in Moscow,
does not like. While matters such as
the Polish question may have not been
on the agenda at the Ounbarton Oaks
parley, Moscow did not want to take the
chance in having any Of its deputy
policy trainers placed in an equivocal
position. A junior officer Of the Foreign
Commissariat, such as Ambassador
Gromyko. cannot be expected to depart
from the agenda and engage even nomi-
nally in extrsneous diplomatic discus
sions
