contends has led to a mounting
toll OF hunting accidents inyolv-

The department said it would
train its field officers at ance TO
act as instructors in cooperation
with the National Rifle Associa-
ton and that the program would

Remain Idle

Detroit. Feb. 27-INS-Continu-

ployes OF the Dodge plant against
the WLB and the international
Labor Board and the international
UAW-CIO threatened today to para
I'VE production of vital war ma
terrell in IA Chrysler Corporation
plants.
A company spokesman estimated
that some 10, 200 Chrysler war work
ers are already idle and thousands
of others will have to be sent home
during the day. Eventually 100000
of the company's 10000 will be
out of work, he said, with $1,000
workers affected in Detroit.
Officers of Dodge Local 3 re-
fused to attempt to get the workers
back on the job despite two orders
from the War Labor Board. They
claimed they had to hold an exc
cutive board meeting first. The
decision, however, to end the strike
will be up to the employees, If the
executive board decides to call a
mass meeting.
Union leaders agreed that most
OF the local officers are not in favor

hires seven employees who were
fred for allegedly failing to meet
production rates set up by the
management.

RIVER ERFT KEY TO NAZ WAR TACTICS

by DEWITT MACKENZIE

by DEWITT MACKENZIE
Guarding~the western approach
to the once stately but now bomb
shattered cathedral city OF Cologne
is the little river Erft, which strag-
giles northward across the rolling
plain to empty into the Rhine near
Dusseldorf. and if you will watch
what happens when the Allied ad-
vance hits the Erft | believe you
will be able TO solve the mystery
of whether the Germans intend TO
make a stand west Of the Rhine.
To be sure. Nazi Field Marshal
Won Rundstedt has issued a ring
ing order Of the day. calling on his
troops to fight to the last man in
defense OF the approaches To the
great manufacturing center If the
Ruhr-which is the heart OF Hit
ler's war Industries. The marshal
says all will be lost II the Ruhr
goes. That's a true bill. but the
Ruhr is east OF the Rhine and
Rundstedt's order naturally doesn't
disclose how he intends to make
his defense.
Last Defense
Well, il won't be long before we
know perhaps it will be today
for the American Ninth and First
Armies. which are driving forward
in the center of the great battle
line. are near the Erft as this Is
written. That isn't much OF a
river, but it's the last natural de-
Tense Of Cologne. and Rundstedt
will fight unless he intends to re-
treat 10 the east Of the Rhine. II
withdrawal is his scheme. then he
undoubtedly has moved some OF
bis forces across already.
Should the Nazi commander man
age to perform the tremendously
difficult and dangerous feat Of
crossing the Rhine in full retreat,
he would have deprived the Allies
