ing, the plane is fitted with six 1903

out. We are prepared to meet them" ="
he commented on the WLB order.
At the same time, representa-
tives Of 1000 AFL foundry workers
employed in Is plants in the Chi
cago area voted to stay of the job
Monday because of the denial of a
Scent hourly wage increase by the
WLB. In another development, the
board referred to President Roose-
welt a SiX-week -old textile strike at
Fall River, Mass, and prospects
were that the Army would take
charge of the plants involved Mon
day. Interunion rivalry caused that
trouble.
The sanctions threatened in the
MESA strike might include reclassi-
fication of the strikers under selec-
tive service, or the withholding of
union benefits. In event the Gov
ernment took over the plants, GRIM
inal penalties could be applied to
those fostering the trouble.
Assailed by WLB Officials.
The strike was condemned both
by the regional WLB in Cleveland,
which called it an attempt to
"coerce" agencies of the Government
into an "abdication of their normal
functions" and by Chairman Edwin
E. Witte of the Detroit board.
The dispute, precipitating the
strike hinged on action of the NLRB
in calling a hearing on a petition
from the CIO United Automobile
Workers for a bargaining election in
the toolroom of the WHY'S Overland
Motor Co., Toledo. The Toledo strike
affected 400 employees. MESA
claims bargaining rights there.
The larger plants involved and the
estimated number Of workers idle
included: Cleveland Graphite Bronze
Co.. 100: National Acme Co.. 1900;
Manufacturing Co., 5000; S.
K. Wellman Co., 1,400. all in Cleve-
land. and the following Detroit
plants: Nash-Kelvinator Corp, O.
500; Michigan Tool Co., 1000; De-
troit Tap g. Tool Co.. 1000, and
Eureke Vacuum Cleaner Co., 1000
"Raiding" Charged.
Mr.. Smith charged "maladminis-
tration of labor laws" in Washing
ton so that the CIO would benefit.
He also accused the UAW-CIO of
"raiding MESA membership, which,
he said, totals $4,000 workers He
telegraphed affected factories that
I'VE have no dispute with your
management"
In his telegram to Mr.. Smith, Mr..
Bard pointed out that the manufac-
ture of landing craft and other
equipment for the Navy is being
held up, and added:
1T is my absolute conviction that
the strikes being called by you in
several very vital war plants are
greatly increasing the hazards of our

Toxic Radio Warns

In Marshall Attack
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Japanese
audiences were warned by the Toxic
radio today that the United States
invasion of the Marshall Islands
was "in dead earnest" and that con-
sequently the war situation "is
growing more acute than was ever
noted heretofore"
The Toxic domestic broadcast. re-
corded by United States Govern
ment monitors, declared:
The enemy is eagerly pressing
his advance into our inner south
seas with the Gilberts as a powerful
strategic base in the Central Pacific
and no doubt quickly carried out
the Marshall operations in order to
destroy the might of time which
is a very important strength of
Japan"
Strong Counterattack Promised.
Toxic told its audiences that the
western Pacific, needless to say. is
the sphere of our control and the
front line of national defense" and
that the Marshalls, Marianas and
Carolines lay in Japans inner
south seas
1T goes without saying that our
front line units will respond by
strongly counterattacking the
enemy the broadcast continued.
The fact that the enemy's sacri-
flces will increase the closer he ap-
proaches our operation bases can
easily be understood.
Toxic emphasized, however, that
'it is clear that the recent sorties
OF the enemy are being carried out
with all these conditions in mind
and that, with "the war in the
Pacific charging along with great
speed from one decisive battle to
another it was time for the Japa-
nese to exert their greater effort.
The domestic Japanese broadcast
put it this way.
Now indeed is the time when the
10000O,000 people must unite their
total strength and effect a bodily
crash against the total strength
OF enemy America"
Challenge of Jap Inner Line.
The Japanese Domei agency. In
an English-language wireless dis
patch to North America, said "the
main force of our navy remains in
tact and that it will select the
most advantageous times and places
to sally forth for the defense of
Greater East Asia"
The dispatch, as reported to the
Oftice OF War Information by United
States Government monitors. pur-
ported to be, an analysis of the
United States invasion of the Mar
shall Islands by a "Domei naval
commentator" who described the
operation as an attempt ito chal-

Red Deputy Criticizes
Latvian Officials as
Hitler FIunkies'

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The Moscow
radio quoted q Tass report last
night in which a Soviet deputy de-
nounced persons whom he described
as agents Of the pro-Fascist gov
eminent Of pre-Soviet Latvia" and
said they have found shelter in the
United States, Sweden and other
countries.
The broadcast, recorded here by
the Soviet monitor, was based on the
off1cial Russian news agency's ac-
count of a speech by Deputy Iacis
during debate in the Supreme
Soviet Russian parliament). The
debate was on eForeign Commissar
Molotov's report on a plan which
gives the 16 individual republics of
the Soviet Union the right to deal
directly with other countries and
raise their own army units.
Charging that the men to whom
he referred 'never represented their
people, but on the contrary have
been its (the people's) enemies"
1acis was quoted as saying that they
behaved as Hitler's fiunkies and
troubled the waters Of international
affairs. He added:
Very characteristic is the beha-
vior of former Latvian Minister in
the United States Alfred Bilmanis
this adventurer who Is abusing the
hospitality of the great trans-At-
lantic power in public speeches and
in the American press, extolling the
enemy and hangman of the Latvian
people, Gen. bankers, the Latvian
Quisling."

countries taken into the Soviet I'm

Phases Of Invasion
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-By German
account, preliminaries for the Allied
invasion of Western Europe already
are under way-including recon-
naissance attacks by English units
along various points Of the Atlantic
WALL"
A spokesman for the German
general staff was quoted in Buda-
pest broadcast recorded today by
the Ministry of Information as de-
claring:
THE English have begun their
attack from the air first Of all
against sectors of the West Wall.
In these attacks American Flying
Fortresses also are frequently en-
ployed
English units have attempted
attacks against various points along
the Atlantic Wall, but these never
have been more than reconnaissance
operations.
Early spring will be the most
favorable time for an attempt at
invasion and it will probably be
then that the British reconnaissance
