Green Rejects A
 heightened Week

Proposals by big business to lengthen the basic work week to AS hours instead of grant ing increases in wage rates were summarily rejected this week by AFL President Will liam Green.
 Instead, MT. Green emphasized it would soon become an "ecO- homie necessity" to place workers throughout the country on six hour and thirty-hOur week.
 Speaking before the convention of the Building Service Employees Inter national Union, MT. Green said the work day must be reduced to spread employment Cor we will be faced with a serious unemployment prob lem"
 PRODUCTIVITY UP
 Scientific and technological i'm provements in industry made 1t pos Sible for Hess and less workers to produce more and more goods" the AFL president added, and the reduced work week was the "only practical method to distribute work.
 MT. Green told the 800 delegates that he would lend his support to an organization drive to bring into the building service union, headed by Will liam F. McFetridge of Chicago, jani- tors, maids, bowling alley employees and others. He said those to be or ganized reached potential millions i'll number.
 The AFL would do anything pos sible to let the union bars down for servicemen, MT. Green assured the union delegates. He said that most unions had voted to allow veterans knowing various trades to enter unions without payment of high entrance fees.
 The AFL president praised produc- ton by union men during the war and said that no single serviceman went without anything he needed during the action in the European and Pa cific theatres.

lNOHtlnucO ITOlH rage OHcJ interests immediately began singing the song of hope-that this confer ence spells an end to industrial strife; that it will work out the happy formula by which the nation will ease into a lush period of full production and high prohts-and all this without any consideration of la bor's wage demands.
 The general public was led to believe that the labor-management conference is the last hope-and this false concept was built up by Schwellenbach who told the House expenditures committee that he hoped Congress would withhold ac- ton on labor legislation until the national conference devises the machinery for making industrial peace long and continuing real ity.
 But what is the public to expect if the conference lays an egg? Will not the newspapers, the radio and the corporation cry bloody murder for

High Prices Thwart
 Vets Seeking Farms

Veterans seeking to buy farms under the loan provision of the "G. I. Bill of Rights" are being thwarted by un- reasonable prices, according to the Farm Security Administration.
The union times., 1945-11-17

Veterans can borrow up to $12,OOO through the FSA for farm purchases, but loans are denied unless prices are right. The agency said that prices have been inflated by 30 to 40 per cent or more.

SCHOOL GIRL FINDS
 LIVE HAND GRENADE

A live hand grenade dating back to the first World War, was found yesterday noon by Margaret Wey- mer, 157 Pembroke avenue, on her way to Sprague grammar school. She turned 1t over to Patrolman Dennis Lynch who turned it over to the Department Drillmaster, Viii liam DWyer.
 Officer Dwyer said it was very fortunate that teachers at the school had instructed pupils not to touch or pick up objects with which they are not familiar, but to notify their parents or authorities. Officer Dwyer said there was little doubt but the grenade would explode when the safety pin is removed.

 Finance will be major topic among the Republicans here today. The party has a fat war chest and Brownell has $75O,0O0 budget. He is informally committed to allocat- ing substantial sums to the states and is reported to be under increas- ing pressure to do so.
 Strains on the New Deal-Demo- cratic machine are becoming ln" creasingly evident. CIO President Philip Murray complained last month that the CIO was "disillu- stoned" with the conduct of Con- gress since the November election. His remarks were not cheer fo1 the Republicans, but they unques- tionably were in sharp objection to the performance of house ana Senate both of which are con- trolled by the Democrats.
 Conservative Democrats finally accepted MT. Roosevelt for a fourth term candidate, but the issues d. viding the two wings of the party are becoming steadily more press ing.

 Daniels said that "so far as the ambassadors and ministers in other countries are concerned it is felt at this time that they ought to be on their own jobs"
 This reflected the general Wash ington attitude that the war in Eu- rope had reached a stage where anything could happen. Whether 1t will happen in the near future or. weeks hence, however, appeared to depend upon whether Hitler can maintain in the German army and people the will to go on fighting.
 This Started It
 Washington, March 27-UP)-. President Rooseevlt has notified U. s. officials and diplomats that only those officially designated should be in San Francisco during next months United Nations Security Conference.
 White House Press Secretary Jonathan Daniels said today the president had advised Secretary of State Edward R. Stettinius, Jr., and other cabinet members that the strain on transportation and hous- ing facilities in the convention city must be kept at minimum.
 Stettinius was instructed to ad- wise American diplomats abroad that they were expected to remain at their posts during the conference.
 A similar directive went to mem bers of the cabinet, Daniels said.
 He added that the president told Stettinius, as chief of the U. $. del- egation to San Francisco, that he and the other seven American del- egates should cut their ssaffs Of technicians and advisers to a min- imum.
 Daniels pointed out that the pres- ident felt American officials, in- cluding diplomats Eat this critical time should be on their jobs"

ed Lloyd George as a great man" who played great part in the history of his country"
 He was remarkable for his ener- gy and vitality and was devoted to the interests of those who suffered from poverty or misfortune and or dinarily are called underdogs," the Viscount said.
 Lloyd George entered public life in 1890, when as "the little Welsh solicitor" he became a member of parliament. He had radical ideas, which shocked some of the British upper classes, but he was res- olute foe of Prussian militarism
 In 1916 he became Britain's prime minister and emerged vic- toriously as one of the big four who negotiated the Versailles trea- ty. His passing leaves Vittorio Or lando, of Italy, the only survivor of the four. The others were Pres ident Woodrow Wilson and Georges Clemenceau of France.
 It was announced that by his own wish, Lloyd George will be buried at his country estate along the River Dwyfor, the scene of his boyhood playground.
 He will be buried Friday after noon at 2:3O in coffin made by his old school friend, 78-year-old Robert Evans.

COP Election Farley Today
(Continued from Page D

AS they gather for this pre- campaign conference there is evi- dence of the same old confidence. But this time 1t is bolstered by belief that the New Deal-Democratic party machinery finally is beginning to break down. There have been indications of wear and tear before this, Republicans explain. But they seem more confident now that the disintegration of MT. Roosevelt's powerful political organization can be foreseen.
 It is that as much as upon their own hoped-for strength that the Republicans appear to be depending now. Bitter Democratic protests against MT. Roosevelt's nomination of Secretary of Commerce Henry A. Wallace is cited as evidence that the cracks are beginning to show. Another example was the Senate's refusal to confirm Aubrey Williams as rural identification administra- tor.
 Many Republican National Com mitteemen feel that Congressional Republicans and COP. state off, cials must establish the political bat tie lines. Republicans in Congress are even more certain that is largely their prerogative and re- sponsibilty. The National Com naittse's Job L axpsctsd to he laERe-

 Mile From City
 Far to the northeast, Marshal Konstantin K. Rokossovsky's Second White Russian army drove through the Third and last outer defense belt protecting the Baltic Port of Danzig and was within mile west and northwest of the city. One col- umn broke into the western suburbs of EmauS.
 Sixteen other towns and villages fell to the Second army as it tight ened its siege arc around doomed Danzig and the adjacent Port of Gdynia.
 The Third White Russian army chased the last remnants of the German pocket southwest of Koe- nigsberg in East Prus}ia into the Marshy Kakrholz Cape,1 Some q ,0O0 Germans were captufed Monday alone in the pocket.
 Skirmishes continued along the Oder river front 30-odd miles east of Berlin preparatory to the Red army's big push toward the enemy capital.
 Tolbukhin's Third Ukranian Army crashed through western Hungary to within 30 miles of Austria after toppling Papa, major highway and railway junction "A miles southeast of Vienna, and Lovaszpatona, 10 miles northeast of Papa.

rrorition. Hodgss' men, by German account, were 30 miles beyond the Ehine north of Frankfurt and show lng no signs of . let-up in their furious pace.
 stilI farther north, the German nattle lines covering the Ruhr Basin and the Westphalian plain were falling apart under the blows of Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Mont gomery's four Allied armies across the Rhine. NGontgomery's Rhine bridgehead was il to IS miles deep in Berlin said British airborne troops were in the Ruhr within three miles of Essen.
 At Fulda, Patton's Third Army would be only 240 miles from the Red Army before Berlin, and Ger man military spokesmen said the next 24 hours would show whether the spectacular American leader was trying for a Sancture with the Russians.
 Patton's men southeast of Frank furt were reported by Berlin to have reached Lohr, IS miles south- east of their last officially reported uosition at Aschaffenburg and 20 miles northwest of Wuerzburg.
 Seven and perhaps eight Allied armies were sweeping beyond the Rhine barrier along 250-mile front stretching northward from Karlsruhe to the Dutch border, and fleld dispatches said German re- sistance everywhere was breaking up.
 Reuorts pouring into Allied head quarters from front correspondents and the enemy radio gave picture of spreading chaos and demoraliza- ton behind the Germans riddled western front.
 Tho Third Army's electrifying breakthrough on the southwestern road to Berlin was only one of a series of major disasters shaping uD for the battered Wehrmacat.
 London press dispatches said more than 30O,000 Allied troops al- ready were across the Rhine. Ger man spokehman said the break through had carried 90 miles east of the river on the American Third Army front and 50 miles east on the First Army line.
 The First Army's tank and tn- fantry columns were running riot through the lines against diSinte- grating resistance. They captured more than 10000 prisoners yester- day and cleared the big road center of Limburg, 20 miles east of the Rhine and 90 miles northwest Of Frankfurt.
 A breakthrough of even greater strategic import was in the making ct the northern end of the battle line where the American Ninth, Britiah Second, Canadian First and Allied First airborne armies were batteetng down the NaA defenses covering the Rrdhr and the north German plain.
 United Press War Correspondent EAcfard D. McMillan reported that Field Marshal Sir Bernard L. Mont komeey's four Allied armies had brolu0n through the hard crust of ! German resistance and were ready | to swing their armor through the breach for the pay-off drive into ' tl1e 1uhr and strike beyond for Der I In itself.

cluded:
 1-Three years of war experience has demonstrated the soundness of the idea of a balanced fleet, iN which aircraft and ships work to- gether as a coordinated team. This was obviously an argument against demands for separate air force.
 2-Plans for postwar Navy are now under consideration. It will be bigger than the pre-war fleet but the exact size is still to be decided.
 3-The recently arrived British fleet in the Pacific is a potent ad- dition" to Allied naval power in the Far East and will work under Kings operational control side by side", with American forces. He gave no hint of where or how the British fleet will be used
 4. The Navy is deeply concerned over recent indications that indus try is having difficulty meeting the needs of the armed forces because the effect will be to prolong the war at great cost in American lives as well as money"
 5-New type combat aircraft are now in production, including jet propelled fighter planes.
 Discussing American submarine operations in the Pacific, King said the rapid advances there were due in no small measure to the activi- ties of the undersea fleet in wat1rs where nothing but submarines could go." Now, he added, subma- rines not only are continuing their independent operations but are also working in concert with the task fleets.
 Low Scale Opposition
 On the other hand, he reported, German submarine operations in the Atlantic have been at rela- lively low scale. That, he said, Is because the invasion of France knocked out many U-bot bases on the French coast and forced the enemy to less convenient locations in Norway and the Baltic.
 Tt is assumed" he continued, that the long period of relative quiescense has been employed TOT building more effective types Of submarines. The possibility of a re- newed outbreak of submarine ac- tivity must, therefore, be guarded against"
 Damaged Ships Named
 Admiral Kin gtoday disclosed the names of some battle-damageo warships, including four escort car riers, a cruiser and destroyer.
 Uusually, the Navy withholds the names of such ships until they are repaired and back with the fleet. But King revealed te names of some of them in reporting to Sec. retary of Navy James Forrestal about naval operations during the past year. He listed:
 The escort carriers, Santee. Su- vance, White Plains and Kitkun Bay, all damaged by Japanese gun fire in the battle oil Camar lost October. This was the engagement in which the escort carriers Gam bier Bay and St. Lo, the destroyers Hoel and Johnston and the de- stroyer escort Roberts were sunk.
 The light cruiser Honolulu, ser- iously damaged by an aerial tor pedo of Leyte on Oct. 20.
 The destroyer Ross, damaged by a mine in Leyte Gulf, on Oct. l9.
