Pge Two. THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Germans Launch All-Out Drive For Oil Fields (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) rations by both Britain and the axis to fight in the North African desert in the coming winter months and the threats of Japan to strike southward without delay because of what the Tokyo press called the "insufferable" hostility of Pritain and the United States. The Japanese news agency Do mi was quoted as saying that an "undeclared war" with the de mocracies already was in prog ress. Both Russia and China were understood in London to have called upon Britain to take dras tic action to prevent Japan from striking, presumably by making it clear that London would declare war. The British were said to have been seeking a clarification ef Washington's stand in event of Japanese attack on Thailand or the Burma road. China Asks Aid China also was understood in London to have appealed to Presi dent Roosevelt for American air planes and perhaps personnel to aid in defense of the Burma road, which is more vulnerable to aeri al attack than to a land offensive. It was understood that China's need for planes was extremely acute, although Tokyo had re ported that about 30 American airplanes were already in action on the Burma road. At Chungking, a military spokes man said that Japanese planes would attack the Burma road from Japanese bases in Indo china "immediately" in event of failure of the peace mission of Saburo Kurusu, at Washington, where it was felt that the chances of success were extremely slim. London military authorities re ported some details of losses which the Germans are suffering in their campaign to get to Mos cow and Rostov. They said that 16 of 19 German panzer divisions had suffered "appreciable" losses, which probably means more than 10 per cent casualties, while 70 of 160 infantry divisions had suf fered similar losses, with some of them losing up to 50 per cent of their effectives. Leaders Killed The possibility of important political developments in France was raised by the death of Gen. Charles Huntsinger, the Vichy war minister, and six others in an airplane crash in southern France. The short, slight French army leader had been on a highly im portant inspection tour of Africa for Marshal Henri Philippe Pe tain. Huntziger's report to Petain might have decided the future of Gen. Maxime Weygand, Vichy 166 East 11th Phone 35 Forum Speakers Agree On Labor's Duties (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) first make sure that no libeifl s that have been won are destroyed, he explained, then it must see to it that the sinews of war are ade quately provided. "Production requires equal ef forts of labor and management as well as a recognition of mutual rights." Allen continued. "Must Give Up Eights" "Organized labor is going to be required to give up some of the riehts thev have foueht for." de clared Gunther Krause, Portland attorney for waterfront employ ers. "Labor plans," Mr. Krause said, "to put organized welfare ahead of the welfare of the coun try, and has certainly deliberately promoted its own selfish aims." If labor does not act by itself to make its cooperation in na tional defense effort complete it will be acted upon by outside forces, it was agreed by Mr. Krause, Dr. Aitchison and Mr. Greenman. In answer to questions by mem hprs of the audience as well as participants on the panel, Mr. Al len and Mr. Craycraft concurred in the opinion that organizea labor had done its part and would continue to do Its cart. No Strikes No strikes have been called by the Pacific coast longshoremen since the big strike in 1937, Mr. Craycraft pointed out. A question from the audience directed to Mr. Krause asked about "the slow-down you re ferred to. Is it due to poor work manship, to poor management, or to ooor mach'-ry?" There has n a tremendous slow-down by labor since it was organized into unions, answered Mr. Krause. In reoly to Mr. Krause s state ment Mr. Craycraft said that spe cial union committees have sue cessfully worked together with management to decrease the num ber of accidents that occur. Antl-Fasrest Longshoremen have refused at times to load scrap-iron: they have refused to load a ship flying the nazi flag: and thev have maintained a Chinese picket line along the wholec oast, said Mr. Craycraft. when asked from the floor what the longshoremen had previously done to fight fascism. wouia unions give up collec tive barsaining in order to rnak the defense effort complete?" askri Mr. Greenman. "The question oueht to be. 'Will unions go out of existence?' for that's what it means if they lose collective bargaining," an swered Mr. Allen. proconsul in Africa, who has been a stumbling block to nazi plans for taking over Africa. Germany has sought to bring pressure on Petain to oust Weygand, but the old marshal had used weygand s African army as a cheek on the axis in the past and apparently was still trying to prevent loss of that ace card. Vichy reported, however, that Huntziger might be replaced by Gen. Henri Fernand Dentz, who had been on good terms with the Axis. If Dentz gets the job it may be the signal for the departure of Weygand and for the seizure of control by extreme pro-axis ele ments in Vichy.

Second, that because of inva sion of their country even the older generation was willing to fight Hitler on their own soil. Third, that the Red army was well equipped and thoroughly prepared. Russia's system of gov ernment, jn contrast to our own, made it possible for army leaders to commandeer the nroduction of Industry and equip the hordes of men now under arms. Fourth, that the enormous size of the country, the largest land mass of any nation in the world, mskes it impossible for Hitler to knock out Russia bv blitzkreie methods as he did France and most of the rest of Europe. Rail Phone, Plane, Coal Strikes Loom; Cool-Off Is Urged (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) require every miner to join the union after a probationary period of employment. Shippers Worried The threatened nationwide rail road strike caused extreme concern to the country's shippers as well as to the administration. The five operating brotherhoods, representing 350,000 workers, de cided to walk Out progressively Dec. 7, 8 and 9 in support of their demand for a 30 per cent wage boost. A fact finding board ap pointed by President Roosevelt (headed by Wayne L. Morse) had recommended a V& per cent in crease which the men rejected flatly but which the carriers said they would accept. The lowest paid of the operating personnel now .receives $5.06 a day. News Services Excepted The projected telephone strike, set to begin at midnight tomorrow, would tie up long distance lines in 2 states. The union announced, however, that it would "maintain a sufficient force to keep Open all news channels." This would include the transmission of news and photographs by wire. John J. Moran, president of the Independent Federation of Long Lines Telephone Workers, said the decision to call a walkout of 19,000 workers followed a meet ing with the U. S. conciliation service and representatives of the American Telephone and Tele graph company to discuss the un ion's demands for a 4 per cent wage boost and narrowing of geo graphic differentials in pay.

The problem facing the coastal states was unique in that the mills, if shut down, could not be re tooled and re-fitted for other de fense work. Judd Greenman, Vernonla lum berman, described the government priorities order as severe a blow to the lumber industry as a sledge hammer crack on the head of a man. Governor Sprague told Bryant that it was his understanding that the finest grade Oregon lumber was being used as targets for U. S. armv artillery. Edmond Hayes, Portland, de clared that a considerable part of the blame for overproduction could be attributed to government agen cies which urged a speeding up of the lumber industry due to the defense program. "The government uses only first grade lumber," Hayes said, "and, under present conditions we are unable to dispose of our No. 2 and No. 3 stocks. Many mills cannot operate p refitably on the one grade. "Our surplus of second and third grade stocks is piling up so rapidly that our physical limitations for handling it are rapidly becoming exnaustea. "Unless something is done to take these inferior stocks off our hands, we'll be forced to sharply curtail our production because ARTHUR D.
