Special to THE DETROIT TIMES

Bob Hope and his company of
stage and screen favorites told to-
day of their narrow escape from
death in the crash-landing of a
Ply Catalina plane which was
taking them TO the New Guinea
battlefront.
The plane was forced down in
the tiny coastal village of Laurie
ton, several hundred miles north
of Sydney, after members of the
troupe had thrown overheard most
of their personal baggage in a
vain attempt tighten the-iead
of their ship.
Apart from Sunday bruises
none of the party was injured, and
their trip TO the Australian metro
polls was one round of triumphant
receptions.
The party travelled five hours
by car from Laurieton over rough
country roads 10 Newcastle,
where the crowds were so thick
that ii was necessary TO call out
troops for protection.
At Newcastle, a waiting plane

that the Democrats had lost con-
troll OF the party of the Reds, the
anti-NeW Deal senator added:
There are some people who
are foolish enough 10 believe
that bouncing Of Vice President
Wallace for Senator Truman
was kick in the pants for the
CIO-PAC-but il II not so.
Assistant President Byrnes
and Postmaster General Walker
were told by Sidney Hlllman,
boss of CLOS Political Action
Committee that Truman would
he the Democratic choice.
AT the same time Hillman

In the last election they
stole all the planks Of the

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. Is CUP
The powerful pincers the Al
lies are APPLYING 10 France prom
ises 10 eliminate the Vichy gov
eminent quickly. This raises the
problem of what is 10 become
of Marshal Petain and Pierre La
val.
Laval is known TO have pre-
pared for the future. Last March,
when the American diplomatic
mission TO Vichy passed through
Lisbon on its way home from Is
months internment in Germany,
lit learned he had chosen a hide
away in Portugal where he hopes
he'll be safe from French patriot
vengeance.
HE AND FRANCO CRONIES
Even then, he had read the
handwriting on the wall.
A law partner of his son-in-law
Count Rene de Chambrun, had
gone to Portugal and leased an
estate in Lavars name for three
years. 1t is north of Lisbon near
Cintra. on the sea, surrounded by
high walls. Laval has close ties
with Dictator Franco which may
grease his skid across Spain into
Portugal.
AS for Petain, I am almost Ger.
! tain he will not flee from France
under a NaZi flag. OF Laval's re-
fusal 10 abscond, l am not sc
sure, At the last moment, he may
prefer 10 cross into Germany
rather than chance violation oil
his Portugal hiding hole"
PETAIN'S CASE DIFFERENT
After the French government
moved TO Bordeaux in June. 1910
Petain told me he was determined
never TO leave continental France
for North Africa. The govern.
Iment then was debating whether
TO move to North Africa and con,
tinue the war.
"My place is right here In
France with the French peo-
Pile" he said then. 81 am equally
determined not to return to
Paris until the Germans have
evacuated the capital. 1t Is my
opinion the French government
must not take refuge under
any foreign flag"
His feeling then would seem Il
apply now. And he may rely upor
his great age and the veneratior
in which the French once hell
him as the hero of Verdun, 4
lpreserve him from the conSe
lquences Of his miSrule.

Canadian Ford Strike
Ends as Union Wins.
/ s'1
Recognition Again
BY trfe AssnciatAd nrass

6s lne associated Press.
WINDSOR. Ontario, April ga
strike of $4,000 workers of the Ford
Motor Co. of Canada ended tonight
in its ninth day with announced
rerecognition of the CIO Auto
Workers Union and reinstatement
of penalized union stewards.
The end of the strike, which had
halted production at the big Ca
madam Ford plant and interrupted
the work of associated war factories
was announced both by Local 200
of the UAW-CIO and the manage
ment.
Union representatives, reporting
ratification of peace proposals set
forth by the National Wartime La
Dor Relations Board, said the COM
pany had agreed to recognize the
union as bargaining agent and
would reinstate four stewards whose
discharge had precipitated the
walkout.
Both the union and company an
nouncements-the latter saying reg
ular production would resume Mon
day-came after a mass meeting of
5000 employees at which the Labor
Boards terms were ratified.
In the course of the strike the
management had declared abroga
ton of its contract with the UAW-
CIO.
The Labor Boards settlement pro-
posals were said to include the
undertaking "in good faith" of ne
gotlations for new contract. The
negotiations presumably would in
volve procedure over grievances
which was point of dispute in the
strike,

U.S.. Pilots Soy Berlin Defenders
Invited Suicide in Mad Dives

Iney acted ike crazy men
Several of them tried to ram bomb
ers without firing guns. If they
were not trying to ram us, the pilots
were dead"
While Capt. Reynolds escaped
being rammed, 1t. Dale j. Hanks,
%. of Kane, Pa, reported that part
of the tail assembly on his bomber
was knocked off by a fighter that
rammed his plane.
Capt. Reynolds said that when he
first saw the fighters approaching
he thought they were another di-
vision of bombers because there
were SO many flying in a tight
formation"
They sat out there on the hori-
zon in bunch for a while, then
turned into us, all of them diving
at once" he related. THE first
time they knocked down five ships
out of our group, then they came
right back for second pass after
reforming quickly behind US"
Not single ship from this base
returned without some exterior sign
of the battle. Many carried dead
or wounded.

A UNITED STATES FORTRESS
IN ENGLAND, April 29,-If there
are such things as suicide-pilot
tactics, the Germans used them
today to defend Berlin against the
American bombing, according to
Capt. William A. Reynolds, 24-year-
old Fortress pilot of Walters, Okla,
who led one of the squadrons hard
est hit in the battle over Berlin's
suburbs.
1T was the first time I ever saw
them attacking without any appar-
ent system or plan in mind-unless
it was mass power" said the bomber
skipper, veteran of IA missions.
I've never seen anything like 1t
before and I don't see how we came
out of it alive.
They just swarmed through our
formations like hornets, diving any
place they could find hole. There
was no system at all to their at
tack. They were barreling through
so fast I saw three or four of them
actually dive between two Fortresses
at the same time.

NAPLES, April 29.-Himmler'
Standardization become the core
of Nazism-has elaborately detailed
plans to go underground in the
event of German defeat, according
to authoritative information here
The Schutzstaffel now has about
20 divisions organized not only on
a military basis, but in pyramidal
cell system, so that in case the Army
dlsintegrates, the SIS can function
as a secret body, according to this
information.
The cells consist of five members
with leader. Three such cells COM
pose a squad with a leader, three
squads forming a group.
Himmler and other SIS leaders,
it is said. are convinced Germany
will be defeated, but are hopeful the
SIS can get control and return Ger
many to -Nazism" in the cha
otic period which they expect to
follow the war.
The plan involves abandonment
of Hitler and most other we'll
known leaders, placing the respon-
sibility for defeat on them.
The SIS expects support from the
army and Junker class when it
attempts to regain power.
