ADVERTISING OR
SLANDERING UNION

Washington, D. C.-An employers
right to free speech does not mean
that he can slander union or engage
in an advertising campaign to defeat
union in a collective bargaining
election.
These rulings were made in two sig
nificant decisions, one by the Federal
Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago,
the other by trial examiner for the
National Labor Relations Board.
The court case involved the Reliance
Manufacturing Co., Huntington, West
Va, whose employees are organized
by the International Ladies' Garment
Workers. Union. The unanimous de-
cision of the three judges was that
the company officials violated the law
and interfered with the rights of their
workers to self-organization by adver-
tising against the union in the news
papers preceding an election 1t was
also charged that supervisory employ
ees carried placards urging workers
to vote against the union. The court
held that by such activities company
''becomes participant in contest to
which it is not party"
NRLB Trial Examiner j. L. Hekton
found the Kentucky Utilities Company
guilty of violating the law by circu-
lating letters attempting to smear
the international Brotherhood of Elec-
trical workers. This union won an
election among the employees, but the
company sought to defeat it by re-
dlstricting its divisions and re-group-
ing it's employees. The trial examiner
recommended that the NLRB order
the company to cease such activities
and to bargain collectively with the
union.

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Sidney Hillman and the coterie of
Communists, left-wingers and anna
teur politicians who make up his CIO
Political Action Committee, are moan
ing low.
They came to Chicago with great
ambitions and bold plans They were
going to capture control of the Demo-
cratic party. They were going to show
the professionals how to run politics.
They were going to nominate their
candidate Henry A. Wallace for Vice
President. They were going to be the
big noise of the convention and force
every one else to take a back seat.
Alas for Sidney and alas for his
followers! They took terrible lick
ing. AS they left Chicago with their
bedraggled banners and tattered "Win
With Wallace" signs dragging behind
them, they looked the picture Of de-
feat.
Yes, Sidney and his followers made
lot Of noise, but it turned out to be
horse laugh directed against them.
And the worst of it is, from their
point Of view, that they have no
where else to turn. They have COM
mitted themselves so thoroughly to
one side in this election that they
cannot seek revenge by turning else
where. They must take it and like it..

PLANS, CUTBACKS

Washington, D. C.--Unions in the
shipbuilding industry submitted far
reaching, long-range program to the
War Production Board for handling
cutbacks in ship construction when
such reductions eventually are or
dered. The AFL Metal Trades De-
partment played a major role in draft
ing the program.
Union leaders made it clear they do
not anticipate any sharp cutbacks in
the immediate future, but they formu-

A mere hint from the AFL camp
that Senator Truman would be con-
sidered far more favorably as the

Missouri Senator.
Reluctant as the convention was to
make any specific pledges in it's plat

better treatment. Yet what else can
they do?
AFL Gains Prestige
By abandoning labor's traditional
non-partisan political policy and by
gambling their future on the outcome
of the coming election, the Hillman-
ties have dug their own grave. They
are bound to lose no matter which

the sector south of Casino.
S. Swinging south and west from
the sector to the north of Casino,
troops of the 9Th Army fought Bit
terly with German parachute troops
for Monte Albanetto and the ad-
joining mountains two miles west
of Casino. They had at least an
other mile of the toughest kind Of
going before they could hope to
crash down into the Liri Valley from
the north and menace the enemy
holding Casino from the rear.
A dispatch from Associated Press
Correspondent Lynn Heinzerling
with the 9th Army on the Casino
front said fighting was particularly
intense today around SAINT Angelo.
He said German guns were quite
active and troublesome and that
their mortar fire along the river
line was causing some casualties.
Major Accomplishment.
Capture of Monte Faito by the
French was considered one of the
major accomplishments of the first
day of the drive, since it was
the strongpoint on which the enemy
hinged his first line bastions in
that area.
An authoritative military spokes-
man cautioned against undue opti-
mism over the initial gains both
north and south of Casino, how
ever, declaring that much :. grim
lighting lay ahead before the Ger
man defenses in those areas could
be pierced. He said the Germans
had constructed many pillboxes
and converted houses into miniature
forts.
Mr. Heinzerling's dispatch de-
scribed the first prisoners coming
into the 8th Army's cages behind
the Rapido River as a tired, be-
grimed motley group wearing ILL
fitting, baggy uniforms. He said
they threw themselves on the ground
behind barbed wire and dozed in the
hot midday sun. Many of the Ger
mans, he added, were veterans of
the battle for Sicily.
Nazi In Casino UnmoIested.
Although the fighting was grim
both north and south of Casino,
the Germans inside the battered
town itself were left unmolested.
In the Anzio beachhead sector and
on the Adriatic coastal line, only
patrolling and artillery duels were
reported.

LONDON Sunday, May IA
The Soviet high command an
nounced last night that Russian
bombers attacking German military
trains and stores at Daugavpils
Dvinsk in Latvia and Tartu in
Estonia had touched off violent ex-
plosions and fires Friday night in a
possible prelude to fresh Red Army
northern offensive.
The German high command also
indicated that Russian troops in
force had smashed across the Mol
dava River, 60 miles inside Ro-
mania, when it told of fighting
between Romanian soldiers and
full Soviet rife division on the west
bank Of that river.

Moscow never has claimed a cross

Dnestr Front News Lacking.
Neither the Germans nor the
Russians made new mention of the
lower Dnestr River sector near
Tiraspol where Berlin had declared
that Russian bridgehead had been
erased and where Moscow said Ger
man counterattacks had failed.
No essential changes occurred on
the long land front, Moscow said.
For some time German broad
casts have suggested the Russians
were mounting another big scale
offensive in Northern Estonia where
the Red army holds positions near
Narva, and opposite Latvia where
the Russians were reported within
five miles of Pskov on March 3.
The Moscow bulletin recorded by

Clean streets are quite as important ar
asset to a city as a clean face is to an
individual
Wilmingtonians will find great content, even
in these parlous times, if they make as con
scientious an effort to keep the streets free
from dirt as they do in washing their faces
City Manager Nichols appeal to residents
to make their full contribution to maintaining
a clean city is timely, and deserves the CO.
operation of every person, not only in seeing
that trash is under firm cover when placed
at the curb for collection and disposal, but
also in refraining from throwing paper on
sidewalks or in cutters.
There are trash receptacles at convenient
places downtown. Failure to use them is evil
dence of sheer carelessness and lack of pride
in the cty's external appearance. 1t is al
ways possible in residential areas to fine
someplace besides the street and sidewalks
to deposit trash if one will but seek it.

children who couldn't raise a hand in SELF
defense?
Here's little story of their chivalry. 1t is
told by Finn who enlisted under Hitler's
banner and took part in the German invasion
OF Russia. It appeared in the Saturday Eve
ming Post of January 20 under the title Il
Fought for the Nazis" The Finn finally de-
serted and told his experiences to Ossian
Goulding, Stockholm correspondent of the Lon
don Daily Express. This is what he said:
1--WE witnessed scenes of arson, rape and
mass murder that wouldn't sound possible.
If you haven't food for prisoners you shoot
them; you shoot the wounded to save your
own medical supplies; the pilot who balls out
OF his ship is fair game for the machine guns
of his victor-those are only few instances
We can say only one thing in defense of
ourselves We were no angels, but we were
better than the police troops. We didn't treat
brutality as sport, but We stopped at moth
ing to satisfy our animal needs Our rations
were down to bare existence minimum and
we were constantly hungry. Therefore we
didn't hesitate to rob the peasants If we
thought farmer had hidden any stock, we
threatened him with pistols until he told US;
if he didn't tell us we shot him as an ex-
ample to the others
Doesn't this show that the Germans are the
very soul of chvalry? How can anyone dare
to call them Huns
