extent to which labor is being

A substitute for the House-passed
"work-or-jair' bill and a subse-
quent senate voluntary measure
aimed primarily at establishing
ceilings and preventing 'hoarding"
of labor, the measure was called
by its proponents a composite of
the two views.
While President Roosevelt said
it wasn't everything he desired, or
that General George C. Marshall
and Admiral Ernest King wanted
he nevertheless appealed to the
Senate for its passage on the
ground that it would assure pro-
duction vital to the Successful con-
duct of the war;
Senator O'Mahoney, who led the
fight against the measure, contend
ed that no one had produced evil
dence that the Senate voluntary
procedure wouldn't work. He of
fered his motion with a view to
getting the House around to that
way of thinking.
However Senator Donnell, oppos-
ing the compromise, said there
was no assurance the House, we'd

In fact I had been in the

on Nov 9. 1889, an attempt was
made against Hitler's life at the
Munich "Burgerbrau" cellar.
The winter was cold and bleak
but the spring brought the flight
Of Hess to Scotland. Hess ad-
jutantS and his chauffeurs were
brought into the Munich Jail
and, strangely, they quickly
converted the prison personnel
to the idea that Hess was right
and Hitler was wrong. I re-
