GOAL OPERATORS ATTA(kINGLABOR
 BOARDS IN COURT

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26 A group of southern coal operators went into Federal Court today to attack the jurisdiction of the War Labor Board and National Labor Relations Board over nine foremen and accuse the agencies of sane tioning and encouraging" attempts of the foremen to make union con- tracts with eight companies.
 All of them are members of the Southern Coal Producers Associa- ton. They asked for injunctions to restrain the NLRB from taking any more strike votes for recogni- tion of the Foremen's Union, and to restrain the VILE from hearing the group of supervisory disputes now before it.

 Declaring that Roosevelt tried "to laugh off the problem of jobs after the war" Dewey said, Let's get this straight. The man who wants to be President 16 years is indeed in- dispensable. He is indispensable to Harry Hopkins, Madame Perkins, Harold Ickes and host of other political jobholders. He is indispens- able to Sidney Hillman and his Political Action Committee, to Earl Browder, pardoned ex-convict and labor leader"
 Dewey said this in reply to Roose- velt's statement in his opening campaign speech for the fourth term Saturday night that it was a malicious falsehood" that he had ever represented himself as being indispensable to the nation.

 The British press termed it as a crisis, with the greatest intensity of the battle being diverted to the opening and holding open of an adequate supply corridor through Nijmegen to the south bank of the Rhine. Germans were opposing that effort with the Elite Guard, Panzer troops and more airplanes than they have risked for week.
 The Germans broke the supply corridor between Eindhoven and Nijmegen last night, keeping the five mile stretch of road cut for five hours before the British hurled them out.
 Northwest of Antwerp, some of the Second Army men showed west of Eindhoven to Rousel, nine miles from Turnhout.

 These are some of the questions that military and other government officials ask whenever talk of the wars early end pops up.
 If major capitulations come to- morrow, they say, it probably will take more than a dozen months to clean out the pockets of resistance and brigandage in Europe, and far longer than that to mop up the suicide-minded Japanese, who still would be scattered over millions of square miles of the Pacific and China.
 A Marine colonel, back from the Pacific and now warming a chair for couple of months on "paper work" ," summed it up the other day when he said: T just hope that the United States won't get too far ahead of the optimistic headlines" :"

OVERSEAS:

Field Directors and their assist ants are assigned to all military forces sent abroad and adapt their work to meet local conditions. All of the services that are offered to the serviceman while he is still "in the States" are extended to him when he goes overseas; and in ad- dition Red Cross Recreation work CTS reach all troops overseas, even into the front lines. For example, when you're on leave, make your self at home in a Red Cross Club. You'll find snack bar barber shop, lounging, dining, sleeping rooms and information services. You'll meet your friends, drink good cof- fee and dance with girls invited by Red Cross. AT THE REQUEST OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT, clubs charge small fee for meals and lodgings. These charges are LESS THAN COST. Everything else is FREE.
 The Office of Field Director, Bradley Field, has been glad of the opportunity of making it possible for many men to return to their homes for pre-embarkation fur loughs; also to have been helpful to many men who have been sum- moned home on emergency fur loughs. It may be of interest, and perhaps surprising, to know that Red Cross has made loans to over 225 servicemen at Bradley Field during the month of December alone, amounting to more than $5,- 775. Let it be remembered that these are non-interest bearing loans and were made on the basis of leg itimate emergencies. We are pleas ed to report that the repayments on loans thus made usually are paid promptly and with good spirit. However, some of the boys, for get. To these latter, may we just say that in order for us to extend this sort of assistance to some oth- CT one of our Buddies, it is neces- sary to keep the Field Directors Revolving Fund REVOLVING, and that means that while loans are go-
