FIELD MARSHAL MONTGOM- ERY'S HEADQUARTERS, Ger many, June 15.-Nazi Foreign Min ister Joachim von Ribbentrop was captured yesterday as he slept nude in Hamburg boarding house, bringing to close the most in tensive manhunt in Europe since VIE Day.
 Von Ribbentrop, understood to be wanted by the governments of at least 10 nations to stand trial for war crimes, was the last top-ranking Nazi known to be alive who had eluded capture. A metal can of poison was found strapped to his body, but he surrendered this vol untarily.
 The dandified former champagne salesman who became the engineer of Hitlers arrogant foreign policy. had been hiding in Hamburg since April 30. The man who had im- posed his diplomatic will on Europe had not friend in all of Germany's second largest city who would assist him actively in obtaining place of refuge.
 Summed by Friends
 Von Ribbentrop volunteered the information that he had intended to hide until British feeling about him died down, and then attempt to save his life in a trial. He went to wine merchant friend, he said-a man who had known him 25 years. The merchant summed him. Von Ribbentrop. using the name of .'Riese,' got lodging with an unsus- pecting landlady.
 The same wine merchant was brought to British Intelligence Headquarters late yesterday and there pointed out his erstwhile friend. But Identification was made even more certain. Identified by Sister
 By keeping the arrest secret over night, British sleuths who had trail ed yon Ribbentrop across much of western Germany managed to arrest his sister. Today in fearful and hysterical scene she identified the Foreign Minister.
 Found on Ribbentrop were three letters. addressed respectively to Field Marshal Montgomery, British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and to Prime Minister "Wincent | Churchill"
 Ribbentrop was aroused from his sleep and admitted his identity Voluntarily he produced the con- tainer of suicide poison which had been strapped to his body. He was described by his captors as extremely passive and not bit truculent."
 1 He was expected to be taken to Lueneberg airfield today on the first leg of a journey to an English prison.

 Buffer for Alaska Cut

SEATTLE, June 15.-Release of butter to civilian outlets in west ern Washington, particularly in Seattle and Tacoma, must be "halved' starting today to supply Alaska needs, R. s. Waltz, General Manager of the United Dairymen's Association, told House committed Investigating the nations food shortages. Waltz testified the Gov ernment has ruled that Alaska must be supplied out of local civil ian free butter" quotas and not, as formerly, out of the Govern ment "set-out" quota.
 He also asserted Federal authori- ties have earmarked 40,800,000 pounds of butter for shipment to Russia in the next 12 months.
 Tt means the public in Seattle and Tacoma and adjacent territory will receive approximately 25 per cent of the butter they have the ability to purchase, ration stamps locally considered"
 He said that 3.700000 pounds of butter has been allocated to civilian needs of Hawaii out of "set-aside stocks" whereas Alaska butter must be drawn from already meager western Washington civilian stocks, and Alaska will receive very 'meager supplies

The W ashington Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON If. Col. Robert S. Allen now on active service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON-T State De- partment isn't announcing it, but Italian Ambassador Tarchiani has made an unusual move by propos- ing that Italy declare war against Japan and help supply troops for the Pacific war.
 The State Department took the matter under advisement, and after some deliberation with the British, both governments agreed to ap- prove an Italian declaration of war against Mussolini's old Axis part ner, Japan.
 However, here is the catch. Both the British and American Govern ments refuse to make any commit ments to supply shipping or to per init Italian troops to participate III the fighting.
 What the Italian Government will decide to do under the circum- stances remains to be seen.

SUPPLY TO BE CUT

ASHING ON, June 15.-A skimpier butter supply for Alaska after June 30 was foreseen today.
 Effective then, the War Food Administration will order that Alaska butter supplies no longer be drawn from the Governments set-aside quota, the office of Sen. Mitchell tD-Wash.) said. The ef- feet will be that Alaska buyers will then have to compete in the open Washington state commercial mar ket with other buyers.

Congress Hats Action On Anti-Labor Bill Unit
After Holidays

Washington, D. C.-The sudden
blitz drive for adoption of anti-labor
legislation by Congress has been
smashed!
temporary reprieve when the House
and Senate Labor Committees voted
to postpone action on the Norton
Ellender Bill until after the holidays.
This vote constituted a reputation
of administration leaders who had
demanded enactment of the measure
before Christmas.
United opposition by all of organ
lied labor and most of management is
believed, in Congressional circles, to
have dimmed any chance of adoption
of the Norton Ellender Bill even af-
ter the committees resume considera-
tion of the proposal after New Years.
Both committees decided to broaden
their inquiries to cover the entire
field of Encouragement relations
next January. The members made it
clear that they did not intend to act
in haste and might take two months
before deciding on legislation to rec
ommend, if any. This was considered
highly favorable omen by organized
labor leaders.
The Norton-Ellender Bill was in
troduced to carry out the recommen-
dations of President Truman for leg
islation outlawing strikes for 80 days
when the Secretary of Labor certifies
a dispute to the President and he
names a fact-finding board to con-
slider the case and make recommended
tions.

Mediation Board Takes
Huge Railway Dispute

About 100000 workers are in.
volved Major demand of the fifteen
incorporating unions is a thirty-cent
hourly wage increase.
The negotiations, which had gone
on here for three weeks, broke down
over the insistence of two independent
operating brotherhoods that rule
changes be discussed along with wage
demands.
Under the Railway Labor Act, il
the National Mediation Board fails
to settle the present dispute, fact.

dent will study the case and make

FACT FINDING
By Joseph A. Padway
Chief Counsel for the AFL

Fact-finding is now being offered
to the American people as brand-new
method of settling labor industrial dis
putes. 1t is nothing of the sort
Collective bargaining constitutes
the original and most effective form
of fact-finding. 1t provides for fact
finding by those in the best position
to know the facts, namely-the en-
ployer and the union representing his
employees.
Of course, it happens occasionally
that collective bargaining breaks down
reach an agreement on the facts.
But that doesn't necessarily mean
that strike or lockout must newt
ably ensue.
Intelligent labor and intelligent
management have worked out solu-
tion for such deadlocks 1t is simple
one. They agree in advance that if
they cannot reach an accord on any
point in dispute, the facts shall be
submitted to an impartial outsider for
decision.
This procedure is known as volun-
tary arbitration. It is completely fair
to both sides. 1t protects the public
from inconvenience from strikes or
lockouts. For these reasons it was
unanimously endorsed by the recent

WHO is DELINQUENT?
By Ruth Taylor

Today, wherever we turn, we. find
the problem Of juvenile delinquency
staring US in the face. We are all
deeply stirred by the attacks of hood
lums in our big cities. But-we can't
pass off hoodlumism as just the acts
of children. Behind every child there
stands an adult. Every act of juvenile
delinquency convicts some adult of
neglect or indifference amounting to
criminal negligence.
Children are not born with sense
of right or wrong. 1t is the family
that has the first chance to civilize the
child. The kind Of behaviour a child
displays depends upon the kind OF
adults after whom he has patterned
himself. And the adults cannot dodge
their responsibility or shift it to the
schools.
The other day / was talking to a
truant officer. He said, "There aren't
any bad children, but there are a
great many bad parents. They are
lazy or neglectful. They don't realize
that sending a child to shool isn't
enough. They have to condition his at
titude towards the school and towards
other children. And they have to see

to it that he has spiritual food as well
as material. In most of the cases have
to investigate, | find that the par
ents are unwilling to turn out on Sun
day or go to Church with their chill
den. They don't seem to see that re-
ligion is one of the biggest necessities
in child's life. It's the stick upon
which the vine has to grow"
Lack of religious and ethical train
ing is one of the greatest factors in
juvenile delinquency. If child has no
standards by which to grow, he is
groping in the dark. If he learns it is
smart to dodge the law, that the only
sin is getting caught, he is on the
road to crime. If he hears his parents
lying, he sees no reason for the truth
If at home he hears violent diatribes
against any group, whether it be Of
religion, color, nationality or class, his
first impulse is to attack them.
The parents may be only careless
or thoughtless-but a child believes
what he hears and takes it seriously
It is from the home that hoodlumism
springs and it is in the home it can be
and must be stopped.
1t isn't the child alone that is delin.
quent. It is the parents who stand con.
victed before the bar of public
opinion.

labor-management conference.
Now let us contrast such voluntary
arbitration with fact-finding by gov
ernment boards, as proposed under the
Norton bill, which is pending in Con-
gress. Voluntary arbitration absolute
ly prevents strikes and lockouts by
agreement of the parties involved. The
Norton bill merely suspends strikes
and lockouts for 80 days under penalty
Of court injunctions but permits them
thereafter. Under voluntary arbitra-
tion, both sides agree in advance to
accept the decision as final and bind
ing. Under the Norton bill either side
can reject the findings of the govern
ment board.
Another advantage of voluntary ar
bitration is that labor and management
pick their own arbitrator by agree
ment. Under the Norton bill, the mem
bers of the government board are to
be named by the President. Under diff
ferent administrations, it is conceiv-
able that the appointees might either
be pro-labor or anti-labor, depending
on the views of the President in of
flee. At any rate, neither labor nor
management would have any voice in
the selection of the arbitrators and
IL 4.
their impartiality.
For these reasons, we submit that
it would be the part of wisdom for
the government to urge the inclusion of
voluntary arbitration in every labor
management contract, instead of
pressing for adoption of the compul-
sorry, restrictive and unpopular Nor
ton bill.

"You are no doubt aware Of the ac-
tion taken at the Secretary of Labor's
Twelfth Annual Conference on Labor
Legislation where by overwhelming
majority representatives from all
major branches of organized labor
meeting with state labor commission
ers recommended the continued oper-
alton of federal employment service
and specifically recommended that
you veto the legislation in question.
l understand that in this representa-
tive conference only 8 persons op-
posed this recommendation This SUBJ
stantiates the position of the Ameri-
working people of this nation are
aware of the urgent need for ma
tional employment service.
81 respectfully call to your atten-
tion that the provision in this meas
ure providing for the transfer of the
employment service to the states was
taken by the Congress without hear
ings before the appropriate commit
tee in either House. Legislation deal
ing with this matter has been intro
duced and is now under consideration
by the Senate Committee on Educa-
tion and Labor. Your veto of the
present measure would provide OPP
portunity for a decision on this i'm
portant question to be made by the
Congress after due consideration of
the merits and after opportunity has
been given the proponents of federal
operation to be heard"

OPA Rationing
Division Reduced

With all food rationing, except
sugar, eliminated, the Rationing Divi-
sion of OPA will be greatly reduced
December 81 and rationing functions
of the local boards will be handled by
the Price Division of the District Of
flee, it was announced today by John
E. Robinson, Jr, District Director.
Effective January / the Columbus
OPA District, including 81 counties be-
come part of the Cincinnati District
and will be administered from the Gin
cinnati office Mr.. Robinson said. This
gives the Cincinnati office SO counties,
or more than half of the state. The
northern half of the state will be un-
der the jurisdiction of the Cleveland
District Office.
With rationing going out of the pic
ture, chief emphasis will be on price
control Mr.. Robinson pointed out He
said price panels at the local boards
would be strengthened and that there
would be greater need for local board
volunteer assistants in order to bring
about more effective price control.

In reality, however, the bill goes
far beyond the Presidents recommen-
.dations and is regarded as highly
dangerous by the trade union move
ment. Even management representa-
tives joined in opposing many sec
tions of the measure.
Senate and House hearings prob
ably will not be resumed until Jan.
Is. In the meantime, all anti-labor
legislation will be bottled up. This
applies also to the Hobbs Bill, which
was passed by the House.
AFL President William Green led
the attack on the Norton -Ellender
Bill at the hearings before the House
Labor Committee, while the Senate
group heard only government wit
nesses testifying in its favor.
Members of both committees indi-
Gated they were displeased with the
punitive and restrictive features of
the bill and expressed doubt that it
would effectively prevent strikes if
adopted.
Mr.. Green emphasized that while
the bill does not contain specific penal
ties, it would subject unions all over
again to court injunctions and con-
spiracy charges which might lead to
jail sentences for contempt of court.
The reprieve granted by Congress
affords labor a glorious opportunity
to marshal rank-and-file opposition to
anti-labor legislation. Mr.. Green urg-
ed all AFL members and organizations
to write their Representatives and
Senators during the recess urging
defeat of such legislation.

Green Demands Truman Veto Of Bill
Switching USES To State Control
FavOrs Continued Operation OF Employment Service
Under Administration Of U. S. Labor Department

Washington, D. C.-AFL President
William Green appealed to President
Truman to veto HR 4407, passed by
both houses of Congress, because it
carries rider returning the U. S.
Employment Service to state control
At the same time the labor COM
nittee of the National Planning As
sociation urged continued federal
operation of the United States En-
ployment Service. The group de-
nounced proposed legislation which
would disintegrate the service and re-
turn it to state agencies.
Offering a 5-point statement of
principles for guidance of national
employment service, the committee
pointed out that the government has
had to take over the public employ
ment service in every big crisis.
In letter to the President, Mr..
Green said:
"Just six months ago I wrote you
setting forth in some detail the posi-
tion of the American Federation of
Labor in favor of the continued oper-
alton of national system of employ
ment service offices under the admin
istration of the United States Depart
ment of Labor. We were much graft
fled by your action in transferring the
employment service to the Depart
ment of Labor, but am sure you will
agree that the effectiveness of this
desirable action will be nullified if the
present proposal is approved, divid-
ing the operation of this vital service
