Color Question
Still Raging
In Portland
Portland, Ore., Oct. 21 U.R
The turbulent question of
whether negroes recruited for
Henry Kaiser's three shipyards
In this area are skilled or com
mon laborers today tossed pre
cariously on charges and counter-charges
o f discrimination,
against both whites and colored
workers.
A company move to elevate
several negroes from the status
of common laborers to that of
journeymen drew charges of
discrimination against white
workers from Tom Ray, business
agent o the Boilermakers
Union.
Hay declared the company
had refused in the past to per
mit experienced native Ore
eonians to advance to skilled
jobs and that the personnel di
rector of the Kaiser yards had
"at all times sidetracked the is
sue."
The union leader further ac
cused the company of violating
a labor stabilization agreement
reached only last Friday, and
said that "it looks like we'll have
to take the thing in our own
hands."
The negroes, New York labor
recruits, meanwhile had with
drawn a strike threat on the
basis of the company's acqui
escence to demands that several
colored workers be classified as
journeymen.
Spokesmen for the negroes
earlier had branded the classifl
cations of colored workers as
common laborers as discrimina

Noting that men in the service

be even greater when Camp Ad

Packers Win
In Suit Against
Fishermen
San Francisco, Oct. 21. UP)
The Columbia River Packers'
association, incorporated, won
an injunction against the Pacific
Coast Fisherman's union today
in a decision of the U. S. circuit
court of appeals which brought
the union within the scope of
Sherman anti-trust laws.
The union, whose members
catch more than 90 per cent of
the Columbia river fish, had re
fused to deliver their catch to
the packers' association after
the association had turned down
the union's request for a con
tract in 1939. The packers ob
tained an injunction in the fed
eral court at Portland, but this
decision later was reversed by
the circuit court here. An ap
peal by the packers to the Uni
ted States supreme , court
brought approval of the injunc
tion. The circuit 'court listened
to new arguments in the case
and today reversed its previous
ruling.
The case has been followed
with wide interest in legal and
industrial circles. Attorneys
said the circuit court, ruling at
first' in favor of the union, ap
parently was guided by the su
preme court decision in the fa
mous Apex hosiery case, in
which it was. held a union boy
cott of silk stockings could not
be enjoined under the anti-trust
laws in a labor dispute.

NOTIONS DEPARTMENT
THE WAR TODAY
- By DEWITT
London, Oct. 21 There are, as pointed out in yesterday's
article, fewer than 200 prime targets the American and British
bombers need to destroy in France and Germany in order to
render Hitler so vulnerable that the allies could roll their army
over him and end the war by next fall. These targets comprise
nazidom's chief war industries,
and all-important rail communi
cations and rolling stock. In
short, they represent the sourc
es of much of the fuehrer's
striking power and the means of
moving that power into action.
In order- to achieve this de
struction quickly and thereby
prevent great prolongation of
the war, American and British
bomber forces based in this
country would have to be in
creased heav i 1 y. Moreover,
they would have to be aug
mented immediately.
And how much air power
would be needed to carry out
this program?
Obviously, no attempt can be
made to give detailed figures in
this article since that would
provide information for the en
emy. However, it can be said that
if these two forces were trebled
within the next couple of
! months, the Anglo-American al
lies could achieve enough by
spring so that an invasion army
could be got into operation.
Transfers Suggested
Of course, it leaves a lot to
the imagination to talk about
trebling the bomber forces when
the reader doesn't know what
the present fleets are. Still, au
thoritics who do know the fig
ures will recogni-e that this
would be a feasible expansion
Indeed, some military experts
insist the present scale of bomb
ing could be increased 10 times.
but that strikes me as being on
ideal which could not be- at
taincd in the near future.
This concentration of air
force in Britain would be mot
(1) By current production in
both countries;
(2) By transferring warplancs
from other activities which
could spare them for this major
operation in western Europe.
In this second category might
fall some of the submarine
scouting now being carried on
by war planes with the expendi
ture of a maximum amount of
labor for a minimum of re
sults. As pointed out yesterday, the
ideal place to get a submarine
with bombers is at the building'
base and not after the U-boat
has started to roam the seas.
Emphasis must be placed on
speed in providing bomber rein
forcements. Hitler should not
be allowed to use the winter
months to repair the grievous
damage he has suffered in the
Russian campaign,
Bochc Not Idle
Then there's another point
which affects the American

force directly. We are having
great success with our new.
heavily-armored, heavily-armed
ishingly small losses. !
This is due in large degree to I
the fact that the Flying Fort- j
ress is so protected that it can
pretty well fend for itself
against fighter - planes. It is
both a bomber and a fighter.
But that is sure to be a pass
ing phase. The nazis are not
able to cope with the Fortress
now because this giant machine
is a new weapon for which they
were not prepared. It won't be
new long, however. Science
marches fast these days and we
may expect the Boche to de
velop a defense.
Thus it is up to use to give
Hitler a chance to devise a means
to beat the fortresses before they
have taken a full toll among
vital targets. Now is the ap
pointed hour when the bombers
can dot the most damage with
the least danger to' themselves.
The destruction' already
achieved by the American and
British bomber fleets along Hit
ler's western front is staggering.
I have spent many hours re
cently with high power magnify
ing glasses studying enlarged
airpholos of the damage done in
raids on such cities as Rostok, i
Luebeck, Cologne, Lille, Ducs
scldorf and Emden.
You would not believe such
devastation possible unless you
saw it under the lens.
