PROMPT END TO MANPOWER CONTROLS
URGED BY BYRNES IN POSTWAR REPORT

through supplemental appropriations
by the Federal Government, there will
be some States in which the payments
will be very inadequate particularly
in view of the increase in the cost of
living since such payments were es-
tablished by those States.
The weekly benefits were estab-
hshed several years prior to the war.
If they were adequate then, they are
inadequate now The State systems
having during the war, as result of
increased contributions and reduced
expenditures, accumulated reserves of
five and one-half billion dollars. That
is fortunate. But the objective of the
system is to provide defense against
unemployment, as not merely to ac-
cumulate money. The States should
act now to liberalize the benefits and
make the State system serve their
true purpose.
II still hope the Congress will re-
consider it's action in rejecting the
plan suggested by me that the max
imum weekly benefit should not be
less than stated percentage of the
workers previous wages or $40,
whichever is the lower, should be paid
for as long as twenty-six weeks and
the coverage be extended to include
workers where the number Of en-
ployes is less than eight. Several in

view that they did not want to con-

AFL SET TO BEAT
BAD STATE LAWS

Washington, D. C.-The AFL call
ed upon it's affiliates throughout the
country to back labor's drive against
attempts in three States-Californi
Florida and Arkansas-to abolish the
union shop.
The federation pledged itself to
carry on an intensive educational
campaign until election day to win the
referendum votes pending in these
states on proposals to ban the union
shop by constitutional amendment or
by legislation.
In circular letter to affiliated un-
ions, AFL President Green pointed out
that this is not a sectional battle but
will affect the basic interests of or
ganized labor throughout the land.
He, therefore appealed for contribu-
tions from individual unions to spe-
cial fund being raised by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor with which
to finance it's campaign. Such con-
tributions should be sent to AFL Sec
retary- Treasurer George Meany at
the Federation's headquarters in
Washington.
Mr.. Green said in his letter:
"This appeal is being made because
| the fight in California, Florida, and
Arkansas against the enactment of
anti-labor and un-American legisla-
tion must be regarded as a menace to
the economic and industrial welfare
of all the members Of the American
Federation of Labor located in every
state throughout the nation.

Gen. Eisenhower Gives
Labor Credit For His
''Best-Equipped" Armies

Washington, D. Cone of the most
extraordinary tributes ever paid to
American labor was broadcast to
America by General Dwight d. Eisen-
hover, supreme allied commander in
Europe.
As the Battle of France" reached
it's climax and the invasion of Nazi
Germany started, Eisenhower took
time out for a radio broadcast to the
workers of this country in which he
glowingly extolled the job they had
done to accelerate victory over Hit
ler's armies.
"From this battlefront" he said,
american fighting troops send their
grateful thanks to the workers of
America for having made this the
best equipped fighting force in all
history.
"In this expression of our graft
tude we are joined by our gallant al
lies. The British units include in their
category of weapons many which you
have produced. The French divisions
are equipped exclusively with the
products of your toll and skill.
each of you justly shares in the
credit for the tremendous successes
the United Nations have gained on
this important front"
Eisenhower voiced confidence that
the workers will continue to break
records in production and that at no
| time will there have to be a halt in
the pace of the Allied offensive be-
cause of any shortages in ammuni-
| ton.
"The possibility of such failure
on your part does not even enter into
my calculations" he declared. "My
faith and belief in the American fight
ing men is equalled only by my faith
and belief in you who, from your
homes, have sent these men to the
battlefront to help assure that free
dom shall prevail in the world"

President Reaffirms
Intention 10 Spare
Shrines if Possible

President Roosevelt has reaffirmed
the intention of the Allies to spare
shrines in the pathway of war from
destruction, so far as possible.
In formel statement at his news
conference yesterday, which was re-
garded as an answer to the appeal
by Pope Plus XII to both sides to
save Rome from destruction, Mr..
Roosevelt said I'VE have tried scru-
pulously-often at considerable sac
rifice-to spare religious and cul-
tural monuments, and we shall con-
tinue to do So"
This was in line with previous
statements by the President, who
recently made public the instruc-
tions to this effect which Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower has given to
his commanders. Secretary of State
Hull has said the Germans would
be to blame if war swept over Rome,
The text of the Presidents state
ment follows:
Every one knows the Nazi record
on religion. Both at home and
abroad Hitler and his followers have
waged ruthless war against the
churches of all faiths.
Now the German Army has used
the holy city of Rome as a military
center No one could have been sur
prised by this-it is only the latest
of Hitler's many affronts to re-
ligion. 1t is a logical step in the
Nazi policy of total war-a policy
which treats nothing as sacred.
I'VE on our side have made free
dom of religion one of the prin-
ciples for which we are fighting
this war. We have tried scru-
pulously-often at considerable sac
rifice-to spare religious and cul-
tural monuments, and we shall con-
tinue to do so"

I IN Norway. Intelligence says they
will prove hardly more accurate
than their predecessors. But less &C
curacy is needed if they are direct
ed against crowded front lines in
stead of the hinterland.
Whatever the military value, such
plans indicate the decision of the
Nazis to fight on, and probab bly, will
cause long delay to the end Of
the war.
There are other indications that
the Nazis are preparing a war #
attrition. The Allies have discover
ed that the Germans have formed
new spy schools behind the Italian
| front, whose purpose is training
spies in crossing Allied lines with
refugees and returning with infor-
nation. Several were caught and
executed.
The assumption is permissible
that similar activities are going on
at the western front. Obviously such
an arrangement would be senseless
if the Nazis were resigned to fight
ing a retreating battle from now
on.
Another indication that the Nazis
have a more positive plan is Ger
man leadership. Won Rundstedt.
greatest German strategist, hardly
would have retaken command if he
believed the situation utterly hope.
less. For the same reason, even
more symptomatic is the report
from urich that Hitler is again
about to take over the high com.
mand.
Hitler will do everything he can
to disconnect himself and the party
from final defeat. Therefore he
would leave military leadership to
others if he were convinced that
everything is lost.
Everything indicates that the Ger.
mans fight for time In this con-
nection it is interesting that they
are preparing new phase of air
war, according to excellent infor-
nation. The Nazis are supposed to
be converting bombers into gas
carriers filled w h inflammable
gas in order to start fires in and
around strategic detectives. Here
again the effect would be delaying.
It seems in the realm of posi-
biliies that the Nazis might send
such bombers with suicide crews
to America.
Another delaying weapon will
be the return of the U-boat. Ger

Germans failed in their most impor-

Countless indications justify the

Intelligence issuing fir m the

the public.
Perhaps the projected meeting OF
the Big Three may have something
to do with the new German plans
to fight on-as grimly exemplified
in the current Nazi counter-of

timeand V-bombs will turn the
tide of war in favor of Hitler.

shows that while the U-boat is an
immense nuisance and thus a de-

Summarizing, everything points
to the Nazi wish to delay us. Their
spy schools and the fact that u
boats are not yet employed indi-
cate their belief that they have
much time left.
Most experts believe that the
main incentive for delaying tactics
is the German hope that the Allies
may quarrel. If there is a new
German plan which may change
the face of the war, this alone is
reason for a speedy meeting of the
