influence to obtain oil for Nazi submarines, but, according to the Rogge report, discussed with a member of the German Economic Ministry a plan to swing labor votes against Roosevelt during the 1940 election
 Indirectly at feast, Lewis gave further help to the Nazi cause when, in the fall of 1941, he pulled 53000 miners out of the captive ciol mines causing 100000 others to strike in sympathy The captive coal mines supplied fuel for the na- tions steel industry, at that time working day and night to turn out big guns and armour plate.
 Lewis, however, did not send his men back to work until Dec. ', the day the Japs struck Pearl Harbor. Even then, Lewis held out until he got what he wanted-a closed shop by arbitration.
 On that lateful day LeWlS was clcseted with his friend, John Steelman, then a Federal Concili- ator, and Ben Hairless, head of U s. Steel. Newsmen had been wait ing eagerly for word of a settle ment. Finally at pm. on Dec. T, John L. strode to the door to an- nounce the strikes end.
 Confidently swinging the door open, he called: Come in, boys" But no one came in. For once, John L. LeWis's news value had evaporated. The press corps had disaster-Pearl Harbor

MASS MEETING

The City Council acting upon requests from the Juneau Merchants Association and the Rotary Club, has authorized meeting soon to protest against the shipping strike and to make Washington officials realize that Alaskans need relief from the critical transportation stoppage.
 While such meeting can do no harm, it is doubt full if anything will be accomplished
 For some time Washington, from the President on down. has been well aware of just what the Shlpplg strike is doing to Alaska.
 The Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce plus similar bodies throughout Alaska has for weeks urged that some action be taken by Wash ngton to send ships Alaska The Governor of Alaska is now in Washington where he is doing everything he to get action.
 The Seattle newspapers have been giving the effect of the strike Alaska great deal of pub ncty The Seattle Post-Inteigencer currently has a special reporter covering the Territory to give the readers of that Seattle newspaper first hand report of just what the strike doing Alaskaand Seattle Alaska trade.
 It seems to us that regardless of what action Aaskans take-regardless of what happens to Alaska neither the labor unions the shipping operators involved are going to sacrifice any their desires to end the strike.
 The fact that many Alaskan communities are running dangerously short of food, and the residents of others must pay air express rates for food items is only part of the story The construction industry, and others are coming to grinding halts all over Alaska because materials needed rest on the Seattle docks Thousands of men aie being thrown out of their jobs all over the Territory such projects close down Alaska will have of it's biggest unemploy- ent problems in years this winter There is too good a chance that many building projects in Alaska, now partially completed and closed down. will never be completed because of lack of funds.
 The sad thing is that if this strike were settled today CT tomorrow know that under present conditions there nothing at all to prevent similar occurrence week. a month a year from today.

So Sweet, So Soothing
(St. Louis Star Timesl

If judge by the pages of the United States NewS-and it seems at least fairto mddling index in this case-the business world has up with word for the crack-up of the national economy just head. What the country is headed for it seems is "Sfake-out.'
 Here is linguistic legerdemain of the highest order Bust, of course, has horrid sound sharp and ugly Expression still carries all the nasty overtones of 1929. Recession" very popular, in spite of it's sbilance and it's hined reminder of Kipling So the nation will be having none of these when at last the roller coaster of imitation for which the enemies of price-wage controls insisted the nation must buy tckets-goes off track The nation will be having just "shake-out."
 Has soothing sound, doesn't it? There's such strong suggestion that a 'shake-out" is merely a reinvetnory, sage revaluaton. In shake-out the dead timber is simply being cut away the dry rot scored out the surplus water siphoned off-pck your metaphor. Nothing brutal in shake-up, dreary bread-lines veterans the street corners peddling apples weary jobless pounding pavements in the endless search for work, no starvation, no misery squalor. All this erased by polysyable Only Wall Street could have this sort of thing before Wall Street, where the crack of doom be planed neatly technical readjustment-but the whole nation is to have it.

 The COPS rounuiing Child
 The Republican Party has now begun to realize that it is on some ;1hat the same spot as the good citizens of Alexandria. They don't particularly love John L. Lewis, but also they don't want to snub him especially if they can let the Demo- crats do it instead
 Various Republican stalwarts have already honeyed up to John L.. with Robert Wason, President of the National Association of Manufacturers, describing him as a great American" even in the mid de of the last coal crisis
 All this is one reason why the Republicans have been so fervently hoping that the current coal crisis will be settled by the Democrats, so they themselves won't have to wrestle with Big John.
 Friends say that John L. him. self also had this in mind when he called for a showdown now. He knows that after January the new COP Congress will crack him with something even more drastic than the Case Bill-if he da.es stick his chin out.
 Republicans also know that John L. Lewis, despite his power in la Dor ranks, is not the type of gar denia they want to sport in their buttonholes when they walk dowr the Main Street of America They know that the American pubic despite it's short memory has not entirely forgotten how John L.

SCALpERS AGAIN

ELKHART, Ind, - In an effort to control a scalp ringworm epi- demic, Elkhart health authorities have been placing stocking caps on infected school children and di- recting them to remain away from school
 They learned that some of the unaffected pupils, hoping for a vacation, were offering ringworm victims from 10 to 25 cents for the stocking caps.

CTS surrounded a handful of steam shovel workers who were strip-mln- ing with modern methods, and killed them. Unlike the relatively bloodless jurisdictional strikes oi today, the members of the Steam Shovel Mems Union were rounded up in a field and shot i'll cold blood. A New York Times ac- count of the massacre makes it as gruesorne as anything ever perpe- trated by the Nazis.
 Lewis was blamed for the Her rin massacre because of an inflam- matcry telegram he sent his Her rin local that they were justified in treating this crowd tthe Steam Shovel Mems Union) as an outlaw organization and in viewing its members in the same light as they would view any other common strikebreakers
 Lewis and Hope Diamond
 Another Lewis legend is that he dctes on Washington society and loves to be llonized by jewel-en- crusted dowagers. This story arose from the fact that Lewis some times dimes at the home of his great friend, Evalyn Walsh Mclean, own CT of the Hope Diamond and Wash ington's most inveterate entertainer, In recent years, however, Lewis has dined at the Mclean home infre- quently and then usually when the dinners are small.
 In Alexandria, Va, where he lives, John gets along reasonably well with his neighbors, and those who know him well like him. One exception is Mrs Fleming Holland, who objected vigorously at show ing her colonial mansion if Lewis s was also to be on, the annual tour of old Alexandria homes. This put Virginia citizens very much on the spot. because the Lewis home, orig Inally occupied by Dr. William Brown, Physician General to the Continental Army was a landmark not to be ignored.
 Later Lewis sold his home. but bought an even more historic man. sicn where Light Horse Harry Lee made his famous oration at the death of George Washington. So in the end, Mrs. Holland got the citizens of Alexandria off the spot

educated in the western style, and a former student at Paris, told the Major: Now the children love you, the women are curious, and the men don't like you at all" It was all ways possible to pick out a former serviceman among the Japanese, said the Major, by the look on his face.
 Slowly what might be called a social revolution is taking place in Japan, the speaker continued. How much of it is due to contact with Western civilization, and how much to the actual war cannot be ascer- tained. Major Schmidt visited Japan several years before the war He said at that time it was an almost unbelievable sight to see a woman out walking with a man unless she were married or betroth- ed to him, and even then only on rare occasions. A woman who walk ed down the street was a Japanese man was jeopardizing her reputa- tion for life. Only the lowest of Host face" individuals ever appear ed with Western man Tradition al dress and old-time customs were a point of pride to every Japanese.
 All that is changed now. Women in the better classes actually mingle often with American servicemen, they accompany their husbands to social fmctions-a thing they never did in the past
 Kimonas are becoming an obso- lete fashion in most big cities. Many cultural aspects are being dropped. Women now frequently admit having opinions of political and economical import, and ex- press them in mixed company. Per sonal and national pride has been Begging-a thing rare ly seen before in Japan-is ram pant.
 It is the position of the women that mirrors the greatest change in Japan since 1888, said the speaker. It is to this source and that of the younger generation that Ameri- ,an ideals of democracy must be aimed. The women and children nave less to unlearn about Japan's 3olicy. They have never known the rue status of Japan's national life.
 The major said he hoped to see the American Army stay in Japan 15 or so years During that time the may be converted into a allied nation. Regardless of the war, Japan actually likes America better than any other Western nations. She hates Russia and dislikes Britain because of the colonial occupaticnal troops sent by England.

BRIDGES SAYS
 W5A Opp0SING
 "CCNCESSI0NS"

WASHINGTON, June Hilary Bridges testified today that "in ef- feet the government has ordered ship operators mot to make any concessions" in the maritime labor case.
 Appearing before House Labor Subcommittee, Bridges said the op- orators, who acted as agents of the governments War Shipping Admin istration which owns most of the merchant fleet, have received no direct orders = but it's the same thing
 Bridges said the operators con- strue the attitude of government shipping officials and the action Of Congress in refusing to include shorter work week and higher pay for seamen in the minimum wage bill as mandate to stand by the present 56-hour week for men at sea.
 Eastern ship operators reportedly are offering a maritime strike-pre- vention proposal based on pay for time off ashore This would be in place of the shorter work week de- manded by their seagoing workers.
 This report, without details, came today from a person close to the operators negotiating committee as federal conciliators resumed a full- steam drive for agreement before the deadline at midnight Friday
