tOOnunucQ IrOm rage OAS1 backfred, union spokesmen said. RecOrd-breaking production in nearly all lines of munitions has shown up the utter falsity of that propaganda.
 What's helped to change the tide also. labor chiefs declared, have been the disclosures of staggering profits made out of the war by most industries; the greediness of many corporations which resisted renegotiation to scale down their exorbitant earnings, and the vii cious action of some in palming off defective material on the armed forces.
 Conspicuous cases of employer defiance of law, such as that by Montgomery Ward, have also tend ed to ''take the heat'' off the work CTS, the unionists contended.

Private Henry Iavociello of Wa terbury, Conn. favors an amend ment to General Sherman's blis- tering classic about war. It may be tough in spots, but then 1t has its moments of pleasure and thrills, Take look at Private Iavociello hospitalized at Okmulgee, Okla homa, and then take two looks at his visitor. Recognize here2 You're right. It is Olivia de Haviland, famous movie actress, who paid a visit last week to the General U. s. hospital at Okmulgee to cheer the boys up. She paid a visit to Private Iavociello, who has been credited with a mark of distinc- ton for himself.
 The general hospital was recent ly opened and has l725 beds for Uncle Sam's soldiers. Private Iavo- ciello, according to officials rec

ords, was the first patient to be operated upon in the new institu- tion. He was incapacitated for a minor physical defect and is up and around now.
 No information has been for- warded by the hospital authori- ties on what conversation Private Iavociello had with the famous visitor, but as morale builder there's none better than little Olivia.
 So begging your pardon general war can't be so tough when you get the chance of meeting beauty in person and chatting awhile and getting an autograph and your picture taken and then cherishing the memory for years to come.
 Private Iavociello is the son of MT. and Mrs. Raffaele Iavociello of Ross street.
