TRUMAN IN
STIFF TALK,
CONFERENCE
President Says People Tir.
ed of Strikes-6ive ;
Broad Proposals

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Presi-
dent Truman put the National Lab
or Management Conference on
notice today that if it fails to find
remedies for industrial strife, the
people will find them some place
else"
Strikes and lockouts cannot be
allowed" to check the nations climb
toward high civilian production, Mr.
Truman told the top men of business
and labor
Shortly afterward, Secretary of
Commerce Wallace tossed the con-
troversial wage-price question into
the meeting-which already was di-
vided on the question of debating it.
IF wages are not increased, prices
will undoubtedly be forced down, y
Wallace said in an address prepared
for delivery. Profits too, he said,
would be endangered, and business
would risk mourning public dis
favor"
Appearing before the SO manage
ment and labor delegates at their
opening session, Mr.. Truman said
worried public expected them to
find "a broad and permanent foun-
dation for industrial peace and prog
ress,' without government control
While collar pickets who stationed
themselves before the Labor De-
partment auditorium-to protest the
absence Of independent unions from
the conference withdrew to let the
President enter without incident.
Mr. Truman made three broad
proposals to remedy industrial ills:
First - Open-minded collective
bargaining, conducted with "a firm
resolve to reach an agreement fair
ly."
Second-If bargaining fails, the
use of impartial machinery to reach
settlements ION the basis of proven
facts and realities
Third Responsibility and integ-
rity" on both sides in living up to
agreements once made.
John L. Lewis walked through the
picket line to reach the conference
table, but labor's other two big
names-President William Green Of
AFL and Philip Murray of CIOA
went through side door.

Come Within One Minute
Of Beating Transeoniin-
entail Speed Record

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5 - A BIS
piloted by 1t. Gen. James Doolittle
has come within one minute OF
beating the transcontinental speed
record. Doolittle's plane landed in
Washington Sunday afternoon after
flying nonstop from Oakland
Calf, in six hours and 50 minutes
The record, set last year by Cos
Constellation, is six hours and So
minutes.
The intrepid flier who led the
first bombing raid on Tokyo de-
clared that he made no attempt to
set a new record. Said Doolittle
I'VE just didn't get the predicted
winds"
This was borne out by members
of the B-29's crew, who explained
that when they were only one hour
out of Oakland, they knew they
could not break the record because
of unfavorable winds. The crewmen
said their average ground speed
was 1863 miles an hour-about so
miles less an hour than they had
expected to make.
Mrs Doolittle went along for the
ride. The Superfort took off at
Oakland at 9:24 a. M Eastern
Standard Time, and landed at
Washington at :23 p. m.

I LONDON. Nov. S. - The Moscow
radio today broadcast an attack up
on American Isolationists' and &C
cused them of being "originators OF
the idea of using economic and mil

pressure on other countries"
EX-president Herbert Hoover and
Senators Robert A. Taft (R-Ohio)
and Burton K. Wheeler (D-Mont)

The American Isolationists Taft

ocative ends" the broadcast said,
quoting from an article in the Red

'Reactionary politicians have zeal

The W ashington
Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - Navy Day was
a thrill for thousands here at home,
but not for a million others going
to seed on Pacific islands or twid-
ding their thumbs in Europe wait
ing for transportation home.
Transportation has come to be
the biggest bottleneck of the whole
discharge system And what burns
men up is to see transportation
squandered by officers while they
are powerless to get home. Here
are some illustrations:
IA total of $50 German horses
were loaded on the S. S. Stephen
Austin at Bremershaven for trans
portation back to Fort Riley, Kans.,
the Army's cavalry school. Many of
them were race horses. Not only
, did the horses take up valuable
space on a ship which could have
carried GIs, but an airplane load
of brass hats flew across the At
.lantic from Fort Riley to make
sure their steeds got safely aboard.
The boys who loaded the horses
remained on in Germany.
2-One weekend, top Air Trans
port Command officers gave No. l
priority for three army planes to
carry football personnel from
Nashville to Washington. OF course
this was in connection with the
ATC football game, but the boys
sitting on Eniwetok or Saipan can't
enjoy football, and airplanes could
help to bring them home. MANY
combat veterans discharged from
Fort Lewis. Wash, have to ride
$500 miles in day coaches.)
3-The other day a Liberty Ship,
the Connie L. Kluxton, arrived in
Baltimore from Germany bringing
only AZ soldiers but $4,000 tons of
sand ballast It's true that Liberty
ships are not equipped as troop
carriers, but soldiers don't care
