Here's The Reason
 Shirts Are Scarce

Just in case you are wondering why you can't buy white shirts, we suggest you omit looking to the U. s. Navy as solution. The navy just hasn't enough white shirts for its own officers and petty officers.
 Thousands of white shirts are be- ing turned out by Manhattan, Arrow and other major factories, but they are staying in the manufacturers warehouses.
 One high naval source said the total navy demand does not amount to 59o of the potential maximum production of one of the larger manufacturers.
 The catch, according to the trade experts, is that the shirt makers are producing but not selling-in the hope that OPA will give them price relief. Some retailers have been told there are no white shirts because of shortage of bleaching agents - the chemicals needed to make cotton yarn white. That may have been slightly true prior to VI day, but it is a base falsehood today.

Covering American Scene
Federated Press)

CHICAGO = Native American fascists are plotting a new attack on labor, to be carried on over the air and in the congressional dis tricts, letters written by some of the organizers, and now in possession of Federated Press, reveal. An executive committee chosen by 40 prominent hate propagandists at a secret conference here last July immediately launched plans to cen tralize activities of all fascist groups in the country.
 CHICAGO < Second nationwide strike in two days came when an esti- mated 238,0OO AFL and CIO work CTS shut down the plants of the major meat packers in a pork chop battle for wage increases. A government fact-hnding board was set up and ordered to report within 30 days.

Hobbs Bill Aims
 To Hit Unions, Not Racketeers
HR g Contains Sinister Commerce Clause, Wide
 Interpretation

Is the Hobbs bill CHR 32) just a simple, honest effort to stop racketeering as most daily news papers are claiming, or is it a meas ure designed to throttle unions?
 To settle the question, readers of the Connecticut Press should scan HR g itself and take particular notice of the commerce clause.
 Legal Meaning
 After outlining the legal meaning of robbery and extortion as including the taking or obtaining of property from another, by means of actual or threatened force, violence or fear, or under color of official right" the bills text says:
 ''Sec. 2. Whoever i'm any way or degree obstructs, delays or affects commerce, or the movement of any article or commodity in commerce, by robbery or extortiOn shall be guilty of felony.
 'sSec. 3. Whoever conspires with another or others, or acts in con- cert with another or with others to do anything in violation of Sec. 2 shall be guilty of felony.
 'sSec. 4. Whoever attempts or participates in an attempt to do anything in violation of Sec. 2 shall be guilty of felony.
 ssSec. 5. Whoever commits or threatens physical violence to any person or property in furtherance of a plan or purpose to do any, thing in violation of Sec. 2 shall be guilty of felony.
 ssSec. 6. Whoever violates any section of this title shall, upon con- victiOn thereof, be punished by inn prisonment for not more than 20 years or by fine of not more than $1O,OOO or both."
 Under that language, picket line or strike vote might be interpreted by any unfriendly court as threat of violence to persons or property, or to be menace or obstruction to com merce. Many judges would say that a business agent seeing boss about grievances or other union complaints threatened violence or the hindering of commerce by suggesting that the union might take action to win cor rection.

Hearst Newspapers
 Retracts Smears

SAN FRANCISCO-(FP) = A picture allegedly showing a picket with brass knuckles knocking down a non-striker in the current machinists strike here-displayed with glee by the Hearst-owned San Francisco Ex- aminer-was double exposure.
 It turned out that the situation was reversed and the Heart paper was exposed as a smear-agent and the employers were exposed as the real provocateurs of whatever violence has featured the joint AFL-CIO strike. The Examiner was forced to publish an apology, explaining that it was the non-striker who was welding the brass knuckles.

Schwellenbach Adds Labor Men To His Cabinet
Gibson, Tracy Replace Ex. Congressmen As Secre-
 tary's Key Aides
By Bradford V. Carter
 LPA COlumnist

One of the brighter spots in an oth- erWise gloomy picture here is the fact that the Department of Labor is re- spending to treatment.
 Two Labor Men
 One of the encouraging signs is the fact that two men from the ranks of labor, John Gibson and Dan Tracy, have replaced ex-Congressman Ed ward Moran as the Secretary's cabi- net at this critical juncture. Moran had no qualifications for the job ex- cept what were supposed to be his con- nections on the Hill. As in other in- stances in Washington, the realization is gradually drawing that these al- legged connections on the Hill" are a very dubious asset in a complex ad- ministrative job if the office holder has no other qualifications.
 Not only are Tracy and Gibson from the labor movement, they are also wise in the ways of labor and their realistic understanding of what makes things tick should go a long way in helping the Secre- tary.
 It is fairly clear by this time that if Schwellenbach and not John Steel man (who is the Presidents labor ad- visor) had had his way, there would not have occurred the fasco over Truman's fact-fnding proposal. As was intimated quite a while back in this column, the Secretary had no reasonable prior knowledge of the Presidents plans in this connection.
 For Example
 Two publications that could be of considerable aid to unions = the Monthly Labor Review and the La Dor Information Bulletin-will prob ably be revitalized. There are some signs too that the Department will develop material specially suited for the needs of the labor press.

Mass. Officials Shows Elm How
 To Bust Unions
State Atty. General Gets 10000 To Rise Up
 Against 'EviP

BOSTON (FP) Massachusetts unions are full of manifest eviP' and more than 10000 of its citizens have made public uprising" to suppress this evil, under the leadership of State Atty. Gen. Clarence A. Barnes. All Barnes has to do now is to get majority of Massachusetts voters to pass some laws and everything will be lovely.
 Acting as a private citizen, Barnes circulated petitions calling for a statewide referendum on two propositions, to make unions fur nish public accounts of their finances and to prOhibit union political contributions.
 He announced that the required 10000 or more required signatures had been obtained for both measures
 ''There is no fear for the fu- ture," Barnes said, when so many people will 'sriseup" to put "evil'' in its place.

Labor Is Warned
 Against Truman. Fact-Fiinding Bill
Continued from Page One)

(Continued from Page One) stitution of government agencies for collective bargaining in the fixing of wages, and subsequently, necessary price fixing, would constitute "per- manent government controls which would stifle freedom of enterprise for labor and for management for all time," the statement said
 MT. Green declared that the AFL has only fraction of one per cent of its membership of 1000, 900 out on strike today.
 ISSUES WARNING
 He attributed his organizations success in entering reconversion with out major work stoppage to the free operation of collective bargaining be- tween workers and management. Pro- posed legislation he described as what we want to get away from government control" The statement warned:
 ''Let Congress remember it's past tragic mistakes i'm experimenting with anti-labOr legislation. The War Disputes Act was adopted over a Presidential veto two years ago in a similar period of upset.
 'sEven the original sponsors of this legislation now conceded that instead of preventing strikes it fOs- tered and encouraged them.
 ''Let Congress remember that anti-labor legislation is also anti- American legislation. It would pun- ish most severely the workers and trade unions that have bargained peacefully with employers and re- trained from strikes. It would not only hurt labor, but the entire na- tion.'

A United Nations subcommittee
last night gave its provisional APP
proyal to draft trusteeship agree
ments submitted by New Zealand,
Belgium, France and the United
Kingdom.
They were approved by vote Of
II to 8, with two abstentions.
Russia voted against acceptance Of
agreements in their present form on
the grounds that on each agreement
it sustained its objections to the
clauses which provided for the es-
tablishment OF military bases, the
administration of the territory "as
an integral part" Of the administer
ing power and the establishment Of
customs, fiscal and administrative
unions with neighboring territories
under the same administration.
The two latter clauses did not
appear In the New Zealand agree
ment on Western Samoa.
On the Intervention of India, Mex
leo and Yugoslavia 1t was agreed
that, subject to any subsequent de-
cision taken by the subcommittee
on the procedure to be followed In
the Trusteeship Committee, all dele
cations which had submitted amend
ments could reintroduce them be-
fore the full committee.
The Soviet Union also indicated
it would vote against any agreement
which did not include an article
providing for periodic revision Of its

Germany. 1t was shown, balket

Of national bankruptcy.
The usual 15-year lapse in thu
publication of diplomatic secrets
allowed events Of 1881 to be made
public.
Behind -the-scenes glimpses ol

by the State Departments volume
depict a Germany teetering between
Hitlerisnl and communism. snnold-
ering bitterly under the restraint,
Of the Versailles treaty and coldly
aloof to PROPOSALS for disarmament
Report Sent by Gibson.
Germany was served notice that
any limitation Of land ornaments
will afford her no incentive to
be party to the treaty" wrote
Hugh Gibson, chairman OF the
American delegation on the prepara-
tory commission for the disarm-
ament conference, in a dispatch to
Secretary of State Henry L. Stinson
There is a considerable possibility
that q treaty on land armaments
: would be used by Germany to
justify precipitating the whole ques-
ton of revising the military clauses
Of the Versailles Treaty"
Even In those days-more than a
year before Hitler's rise to power
the fiery eloquence OF Winston
Churchill was ringing out In warn
ing against Germany.
Churchill Not Supported.
Thus, on September l6, 1881, a
dispatch to Mr.. Stimson from AM
bassador Charles @. Dawes In Lon
don cited Mr.. Churchilrs opinion
that England has descended into
a position Of unpreparedness and
insecurity such as 1t had never pre-
viously experienced, tand) that
Germany and Russia were putting
themselves into a position of supe-
rior preparation.
The dispatch went on to say that
mfr. Churchill may be considered
the self-appointed spokesman of the
'give-no-quarter' fire eaters, and
"his militant views are not gener-
ally shared either by the readers In
tthe three political parties or by the
English public as a whole"
Hitler was still more than q year
from power, but Germany's Chan
cellor Bruening set the fashion for
the Nazi Fuehrer In hedging on
German ornaments.
At the height of the crisis threat
ening Germany's financial collapse,
the United States, Britain and
France sought assurances that Ger
many would not halt its construc-
ton of warships of the Deutschland
pocket battleship type as a return
gesture In connection with the
Hoover debt moratorium.
