Dairy Workers End
Detroit Milk Strike

DETROIT, Mar. 13.-Milk deliv-
cries in the Detroit area, reduced

following settlement of an unau-

Russell L. Ballard, president of
Local 83, said the strike was spon-

officials.
Under the skip-a-day delivery
plan effects of the two-day strike
were still being felt by about half
the customers-those who ordinarily
would have received their milk yes
terday. Those who received no de-
livery Saturday were being serviced
today.
The strike f1ared early Saturday
morning when the inside workers
left their jobs in protest to what
they termed undue delay by the
National WLB to act on their ap-
peal from regional board decision
denying them overtime pay for work
in excess of 40 hours a week. Drivers

NEW YORK, March 13.-The
quality Of the peace to come will
be determined more by what states
men do about national and inter-
national cartels than by any other
factor, in the opinion of Secretary
of the Interior Ickes.
Writing in the March Is issue of
Liberty magazine, Secretary Ickes
defines cartel as "a combination in
restraint of international trade" Just
As monopolies In any given country
are combinations in restraint of ma
tional trade, "the very antithesis OF
free enterprise"
"Cartehzation was q prime fac
tor leading up to the present war;"
he says. IF we should leave
20 Germany an opportunity to or
ganize cartels, Germany will have
won the peace just as surely as she
won the last peace as the result of
our insane indifference, our inabil-
lty to see ahead into the future as
Germany saw, and our autointox-
ication from our own beautiful

Chairman Dies said today the

that it is distinctly un-Amer-

Representative Dies currently is

Mr.. Dies said in an interview his
committee may subpoena the scripts
of certain radio commentators over
a period Of several years to take
each statement "and establish its

The Texan said he proposed to
find out whether broadcasting COM
panies which permit the dissemina-
ton Of falsehoods would be willing
ito afford mahgned persons an op-
portuntiy to answer false charges
over the same facilities and to the
same audience"
