STRIKE MAY pARALYz
 PRODUCTION
Huge War Program in De.
 troit Area Impaired by Maintenance Men

DETROIT, Oct. 4.-The huge war production program in the Detroit area has been impaired as mainte- nance workers in more than a score of factories have begun strike which union officers said earlier was to be deferred, pending a meeting of the War Labor Board.
 Before noon, 5000 maintenance employees had left their jobs, Il plants had closed down and more than 5O,000 workers had been sent home. Maintenance workers in ten other factories left their jobs and closings affecting another 50 900 or more workers, it was said by company spokesmen as being probable.
 The strike grew out of dispute between the Maintenance Construc- ton Powerhouse Workers Council and the United Auto Workers, CIO, over the procedure in handling wage demands. The council representa- 38 ,000 maintenance men in more than 300 paints in the Detroit area, including virtually every large and small automotive plant.
 Union officials said the strike of all maintenance workers either di- rectly or indirectly affected several hundred thousands workers in the Detroit area and would paralyze the war production effort.

ST. LOUIS. Oct. 4.-George Me- Quinns fourth-inning home run with Gene Moore on base, gave the St. Louis Browns 2 to 1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the opening game of the 1944 World Series before 33,242 fans.
 Denny Galehouse, veteran curve ball artist, who did not join the Browns on a full-time basis until July 20. hlanked the Red Birds for eight frames but lost his shutout in the ninth when Martin Marion doubled, moved to third on an in- field out and scored on pinch hitter Ken ODea's long fly to center.
 Billy Southworth's ace, Mort Coop CT, allowed only two hits to the Brownies for his grand total this afternoon in the seven innings he worked before he was lifted for pinch hitter.
 The Brownies fielded and played brilliantly behind Galehouse who never was more effective with his low sinking twister than this after noon. The lean Virginian, who was used by the Yankees as a farm hand, also contributed brilliant stab of a line drive off the bat of Ray Sanders in the seventh inning when danger was threatened.
 The Browns entered the series on the short end of 8 to betting.

] IMPORTANT BILLS SIGNED BY ROOSEVELT
Re(onversion Machinery Is Set Up for Nation
 Following War

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Presi- dent Roosevelt has signed with considerable reluctance" the legis- lation setting up reconversion ma chinery designed by Congress to help guide the Nations business and manpower after the war and when peace comes.
 Two measures were signed. One sets up a Surplus Property Admin istation to dispose of an estimated hundred billion dollars worth of surplus war goods and the other bill creates a mobilization recon version agency to replace the Office of War Mobilization and to be head ed by James Byrnes.
 The President told the reporters that Byrnes has agreed to continue head of the new agency until a successor can be nominated when Congress returns from the recess on November IA. Byrnes said he did not want the job permanently.
 The President said the surplus property bill creates dangerous and confused methods of disposition and the elaborate restrictions imposed by the bill, in many instances, will delay rather than expedite recon version and unemployment"

The W Washington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON Qt Col Robert 6. Allen now on active service with the Army)

WASHINGTON-Only those quite close to the Prime Minister knew it. but last spring he was not at all en enthusiastic about having Franklin Roosevelt reelected Presi- dent of the United States. In fact, some of Churchills friends did some quiet smuggling up to the Dewey camp, with the idea of being on the right side after election.
 That was at the time when Churchill and Roosevelt were not getting along at all well. They had differed at Teheran on various sub- jects, especially the Balkans and the Second Front. Roosevelt sided with Stalin that the Allies should support Russian puppet Tito in Jugoslavia and that Russia should be permitted a sphere of influence in all the Balkans except Greece.
 The President also agreed with Stalin that the British and Ameri- can armies must start second front in Western France by spring, thereby overruling Churchill.
 Irritated over Teheran, Churchill made overtures last spring that he and Roosevelt get together for an- other talk, but Roosevelt, also irri- tated, e-stepped It was at this time Churchill was most unenthusi- astic about FDR's reelection.
 At Quebec, however, the two men seemed to get along much better. There were some slight differences regarding Italy, but nothing too important. Simultaneously, Chur- chill got a confidential report from his intelligence people, who had been making very careful check of U. s. political opinion, that the President was a sure winner in November.
 Whether because of this report or because things went better at Quebec, Churchill came away with different viewpoint regarding Roosevelt's reelection, and defi- nitely hoping FDR would be on deck to sit with him and Stalin in writing the peace.

Eden Demands Expldna- : lion of Deaths of 47 Who
 Attempted 10 Escape

LONDON, May 19.-Foreign Sec retary Anthony Eden disclosed that 47 RCAF officers were shot by the Germans after a mass escape from a war prison camp near Dresden on Marcn 25.
 Seventy-six officers participated in the break, Eden told the Com mons, and Is were reported captur- ed alive, IA are still at large, and some were shot resisting arrest and others in the course of new es- cape attempt after they were cap- tured.
 Eden said it is the first such epi- sode of the war so far as is known, and no Americans were involved.
 The government is profoundly shocked at this news. I have urg- ently requested the protecting pow CT of Switzerland, through which notification of the deaths came to relatives and the Air Ministry to demand of the German government a full and immediate report of the circumstances in which the men met tl1eir deaths, and an explanar ton of it's failure to report the facts at once to the protecting pow er," Eden said.

HOT FIGHT IN OREGON
 PRIMARIES

PORTLAND, Oregon, May 19--- Oregon nominated candidates to two United States Senate seats and re- corded their presidential preference in primary commanding national attention chiefly because of the fighting involving Senator Holman.
 The contest, in which Holman faced Wayne Morse, former public member of the War Labor Board and an Oregon Law School dean, wound up in new charges by Hol- man that Morse is an inexperienced professor backed by big money, and by Morse that Holman is a danger ous isolationist and incompetent.
 The presidential preference ballot- ing offered one, another test of strength between Dewey and i5tas sen. Oregon's IS Republican Na- tional Convention delegates be pledged to the one receiving the most votes, and two, the opportunity for Oregon Democrats to write in the name of Vice President Wallace or another as the choice for Roose- velt's running mate. Roosevelt was unchallenged on the Democratic presidential preference ballot.

May Attempt Knoekou Blow on Vital War Ma
 chine in England

LONDON, May 19. Heavy new German bombings of communica- tions and concentrations behind the Russian front indicated the Nazis expect an immediate renewal of the Red Army's offensive in a mighty thrust coordinated with the invasion from the west.
 Hitler's command reported heavy bombing blows at rail stations, sug- gesting the Germans expected the new drive to explode on the Polish front.
 German propaganda kept up the Tscattergars guesswork. locating the potential invasion on virtually every beachhead from Norway to the Bay of Biscay.
 The Luftwaffe has shifted it's moonless night reconnaissance from the south of England to Scotland.
 British motorists were warned that on D-day and afterwards they must expect all civilian traffic to be diverted from the many mam roads and highways generally, and during the invasion speafhead, the latter will be closed to all but mili- tary traffic.
 The Germans massed gliders and transport planes in concealed hang CTS along the European coast in numbers sufficient to drop at least one airborne division on Britain, the London Daily Mail said, asserting the information came from excel lent sources" The British do not rule out the possibility that such a German counterinvasion by en- emy troops might be assigned to knock out the nerve centers of the vital Allied war machine.
