US. SUept
By Strikes

CTRIKES which started in De-
~ troit motor plants swept like
wildfire across the land and picket
lines encircled first one key indus
try, then another.
In Detroit, more than 10000
were idle, in six states Walkouts in
the oil industry kept $4,000 away from
jobs. In New York City, striking
elevator operators forced millions to
climb stairs in some of the worlds
tallest buildings or else take enforced
vacations. More than 10000 lumber
mill workers in the Pacific northwest
laid down their tools. A two-week
strike in the natural gas fields of West
Virginia laid off $500 workers in
Pennsylvania steel plants operated
with natural gas. The list was almost
endless and growing day by day.
In an action attributed directly to
the wave of strikes sweeping the
country, the House Ways and Means
committee postponed indefinitely"
consideration of the jobless-aid bill
sponsored by the administration.
The bill, already diluted by the
Senate, provided federal aid to states
so that they could extend unemploy-
ment benefits up to 26 weeks Origi-
nally the measure had insured a
maximum of $25 week to jobless
war workers.
Labor's Reaction
Labor's reaction was immediate.
William Green, president Of, the
AT of L accused Congress of "callous
disregard of human needs" and
Philip Murray, CLIO president,
branded the shelving a shameful
act" The CLOS Political Action Com
mittee announced it would embark on
a drive to try and help congressman
see the light.
Meanwhile the militant CLIO United
Automobile Workers proceeded with
plans to force 80 per cent wage in
crease in the automobile industry.
Early this week the National Labor
Relations Board granted the UAW
permission to poll $4,000 General
Motors employees in the corporations
SO plants throughout the country on
a strike vote.
Petitions for strike vote against
Ford may be filed next week with the
NLRB.
More than 100000 auto workers
would be affected directly by strike
votes at plants of the Big Three and
jobs of another 100000 in allied in
dustries would hinge on the outcome.

Nations might in any or all of the
three colonies designate strategic
areas for permanent control in the
interests of world security. Il
For Italy, Itself, the US. plan rec
commended that no general repara-
tons claims be made by the Allies
but that each United Nation take over,
subject to some restrictions, Italian
assets within its jurisdiction and limit
its Preparations claims to such amounts.
This proposal would eliminate most
of the claims levied by Yugoslavia,
Soviet Russia, and expected to be
levied by Greece.
Crushing War Industries
The Americans recommended close
restriction of Italian ornaments and
surrender by Italy to the US, Britain,
France and Russia of all factory and
machine tool equipment designed for
armament construction.
The US. suggested that the old
allison Line, with some slight modi-
1cations, be selected as basis for the
frontier with Yugoslavia and that
Trieste be awarded Italy with a sub
stantial part" being retained as free
port. Under the plan, the Italo-Swiss
frontier would remain unchanged,
with but slight changes to the present
French and Austrian borders. if those
nations present claims.
In addition, it was proposed that
Italy formally renounce all claims
to prewar Albania and cede the
Dodecanese Islands to Greece, Saseno
to Albania and Sara and the Dalma-
tan islands to Yugoslavia
It proposed that Pantelleria and
lsole Pelagie, Mediterranean islets
south of Sicily, be completely de-
militarized and allowed to remain
under Italian sovereignty.

TT MIGHT take another meeting
1 of the Big Three - Truman,
Stain and Athletic iron out Eu-
ropes disputed peace problems.
Their deputies-the foreign min
listers succeeded only in agree
ing to disagree and in turning all
important problems over to their
deputy foreign affairs experts for fur
Their whiting.
Some of the delegates to the Big Five
Council of Foreign Ministers spoke
hopefully of second session in
December but this could be arranged
only if their deputies were able to
bridge divergent points of view and
come up with concrete commitments
for peace treaties ending the war in
Europe.
The Italian peace treaty, involving
the breakup of the empire that was
Rome's under its "sawdust Caesar"
Benito Mussolini, illustrates the diff
culties encountered by the foreign
ministers.
Spheres Of Influence
What held up agreement on the
Italian treaty and what still must be
solved before treaties can be signed
for the Balkan satellites of Hitler is
the old question of spheres of influence.
Before the war, British influence
was dominant in Greece and strong
in Turkey. In the rest of the Balkans
and Hungary, Hitler was in control.
Now with Germany and Italy out of
the picture, the entire situation has
changed.
Russian influence has supplanted
much of that formerly exerted by
Germany. Britain is still big brother
to Greece, but a bitter political battle
is being waged there for control be-
tween the extreme right and the Greek

Communists, the latter claiming they
are kept from power by British in
tervention On the other hand, Britain
and the us. don't feel that the present
governments of Bulgaria, Romania
and Hungary are representative
democratic regimes, despite. their ac-
ceptance by Russia.
When the council tabled discussion
of the Italian treaty by referring it
for study to deputy foreign experts,
the us. delegation revealed it's pro-
posed blueprint for the dissection and
control of the Italian empire.
Basis For Discussion
The Americans, headed by Secre-
tary of State James F. Byrnes, dis
closed their blueprint as basis for
discussion by the experts who will
remain in London to try and iron out
divergent points of view. It is hoped
that in two months they can come to
terms and submit detailed treaty
drafts for the foreign ministers to
consider.
Under the US. plan, Italy would be
shorn of its colonies, demilitarized
and stripped of war potentials, yet
eased from paying tremendous fepara-
tons so that it might work out for
itself livable postwar economy.
The us. recommended that indie
pendence be given the colonies of
Libya and Eritrea after 10 years, and
that they be governed meanwhile by
a trusteeship council of the United
Nations.
There was no suggestion that the
Libyan frontiers be changed, indicat-
ing virtual American refusal of
Egyptian, British and French claims
on parts of Libya. Eritrea, however,
according to the plan, would grant
Ethiopia access to the sea through the
port of Assab.

Army Discharge Totals

The Army announced 905,000 SOL
diers have been discharged since We

From May IL through September
IA, $4,000 returned to the U. S. from
overseas. During the week ending
September 81, $4,000 were released.
On September 81, alone, $4,000 were
discharged.
More than $35,0oo,ooo in surplus

tinued to turn in suspects on order of
the supreme allied commander, but
the list kept growing with each new
batch of liberated prisoners-of-war
questioned by intelligence officers.
Prosecutors in the Philippines were
almost ready to open their cases
against collaborators, many of them
in high places.
Full Dress Indictment
The Nuremberg trials, conducted by
the Big Four-U.S., Britain, France
and Russia-win be a full dress in
dictment of the Nazi system. Prose-
cutors will present detailed docu-
mentary of German Vaccinations for
the eyes of the world rather than
merely getting into the record enough
evidence to convict each defendant.
The trial will be conducted in four
languages. Two basic rules have been
agreed on: l. waging war of agrees
sion is a crime, 2. common knowledge
may be accepted as evidence.
Meanwhile Gen. George S. Patton,
us. occupation commander in Ba-
varia, tartly replied to German pro-
tests that he had put some Nazis in
office. Said Patton: "This Nazi situa-
ton in some ways is like the Demo-
cratic and Republican fights back
home. You always find the outs back
home making charges against the
