Management-Labor
Charter for Postwar
Cooperation Drafted
Seven-Point Program
Announced by Johnston,
Green and Murray
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

A Seven-point program for
postwar cooperation by man
agement and labor under a Sys-
tenn of private competitive CAPT.
talism, was announced today by
leaders of the United States
Chamber of Commerce and the
two major American labor or
CARNATIONS.
Sitting side by side, Eric john
ston, president of the Chamber of
Commerce; William Green, presi-
dent Of the American Federation of
Labor, and Philip Murray, president
of the Congress of Industrial Or
ganization, announced creation of a
Management-labor National Com
mittee to implement their program.
They joined in assailing undue Gov
eminent interference with either
business or labor after the war.
Speaking separately, each ex-
planned that what they described as
"a new charter for labor and man
agement" had been drafted after
extensive conferences between the
three organizations They urged
public support of the program in the
interest of the average American
citizen, consumers as we'll as pro-
ducers.
Reduction in Strikes Seen.
In the foreign field, the charter
recognized the necessity of aiding
war-torn nations to rebuild sound
economic systems, holding this was
essential for the stimulation of
American trade.
Mr.. Green and Mr.. Murray said
the charter should reduce strikes
and lead to a more peaceful period
in their relationships.
The announcement of the bust
neSs-labor charter was made before
100 newSpapermen assembled in the
board room of the United States
Chamber of Commerce. The seven
points of the charter provide:
81. Increased prosperity for all in
wolves the highest degree of produc-
ton and employment and wages as

President Backs
New Work Bill
AS Vote Nears
Word Reaches Senate
As Opposition to
Compromise Coins
By J. o. O'LEARY.

President Roosevelt today came
to the support of Senate leaders
in their fight to win final ap-
proval of the compromise man.
power bill, which passed the
House yesterday, 1877 to 100.
Mr.. Roosevelt sent a letter to
Chairman Thomas of the Senate
Military Affairs Committee. who is
in charge of the bill on the floor,
expressing hope that the Senate
will adopt the measure worked out
by the conferees.
This was the first word from the
White House that the compromise
bill is acceptable to Mr.. Roosevelt.
He originally recommended national
service legislation in his January
message and later Endorsed the May
labor draft bill, which was dropped
in conference.
The text of the Presidents letter
to Senator Thomas follows:
Dear Ebert:
Il earnestly hope the Senate will
adopt the conference report on the
manpoWer bill The compromise is
not all that was recommended by
Gen Marshall and Admiral King.
speaking for the armed services, and
by me- 1t does not contain the pro-
visions of the bill originally passed
by the House and differs from the
bill as it passed the Senate. How
ever, in controversial matter of
this kind, legislation can be enacted
only as a result of compromise
| The manpoWer situation is still
! serious. In the days ahead of us
there will be great temptation for
workers to leave war plants. The
failure to enact this legislation will
make the successful conduct of the
war even more difficult.
| If the conference report is adopt
ed the Congress will have discharged
its duty and the responsibility for
effectively and fairly handling the
manpoWer situation will be placed
. squarely in the executive branch.
Its adoption will be heartening
news to the armed forces. 1t will
, let the Nazis know that We on the
/
liver the weapons Eisenhower needs
to complete their destruction and
1t will serve emphatic notice on the
war lords of Japan that the We
day will mean no slowing down of
our war effort"
4 Final Outcome in Doubt.
Meanwhile, the outcome of this
/ nnal round in the manpower battle
IN the Senate hung in doubt, with
indications that the debate would
continue until tomorrow
Word of the Presidents letter
reached the Capitol at a time when
opponents of the compromise were
reported to be making some head
way In forming their lines to pre-
vent adoption of the agreement.
The bill would give War Mobiliza-
ton Director Brynes discretionary
power to apply labor ceilings. pro-
hlblt or regulate hiring and to
freeze" workers in essential indus
tries.
The photo-fini roll call in the
House yesterday encouraged Senate
opponents of compulsory job con-
trolls to renew their efforts to beat
the measure.
The odds, however, favor passage
OF the bill and its transmittal to
the President.
The Senate debate is expected TO
center around two features of the
compromise, the vesting of power in

u. ). Carrier Raid
On Kyushu Reported
By Tokyo Radio
Attack Quickly Follows
Two Super Fortress
Assaults in II Hours
BY the Associated Press.


GUAM, Mar. 28.-The Tokyo
radio today reported American
carrier planes raided Kyushu Is
land at the southern end of ia
pan this afternoon in a quick
follow-up of two Super Fortress
raids within II hours.
Tokyo said about 80 sea borne
planes raided the southernmost
shores of Kyushu, last assaulted by
carrier aircraft March 10.
Neither report was confirmed by
the American command, which an
nounced battleships and swarms OF
carrier planes continued their aerial
and naval bombardments of the
Ryukyu Islands, stepping stones to
Kyushu, which they began attack
ing last Friday.
Jap Breakfasts Disagree.
But Admiral Chester w. Nimitz
still left a gap in his communicates
to account for Sunday-the day an
imperial japanese communique said
American landings were made on
tiny islands near Okinawa, 1876 miles
southwest of Japan.
Dlsagreeing japanese broadcasts
reported variously that savage bat
ties are raging" in the Keramas, Is
miles west of Okinawa, and that
active fighting on land has not
started yet" One report said only
a few units" of American assault
forces had landed, while another
said reinforcements were being sent
in by both American and japanese
commands.
The Tokyo radio reported increas-
ing numbers of American naval
forces operating in the Ryukyus and
added "it appears that the enemy
is definitely intent upon effecting
landings on the main island of
Okinawa.
Guessing Left to Tokyo.
Admiral Nimitz, whose official re-
ports have recorded commandments
by big, fast battleships and raids by
Hellcats, Helldivers and Avengers
Friday, Saturday and Monday, said
today in a communicate:
''On March 81, carrier aircraft of
the United States Pacific Fleet con-
tinued to attack enemy forces and
defense installations in the Ryukyus
and surface units attacked coastal
detectives with naval gunfire."
Admiral NimitZ also disclosed that
Navy search planes had ventured
within $50 miles of Tokyo Monday
to attack small ships near .Hachijo
Island.
The daily communique in the Sc
quence which ordinarily would have
covered what happened Sunday in
stead listed the destruction of an
eight-ship convoy in the Ryukyus
Saturday.

STOCKHOLM, Mar. 28.-The
Free German Press Agency, whose

nounced, said today that Heinrich
Himmler had ordered evacuation of
Nuremberg and requisitioned vehicles

The Stockholm Tidningen re-

Russian agents who parachuted into

Meanwhile, officials of the Swed-

German deserters, and Danish and
Norwegian Nazis.
