' PLAN
TO
Massing of Troops and
Planes in Poland and
Rumania Called Squeeze
London. June 13. (if) Coin
cident with the arrival of Sir
Stafford Cripps, British ambas
sador to Moscow, usually re
liable sources said they had re
ceived reports Germany was
massing troops, guns and planes
in Poland and Rumania for a
"war of nerves" designed to
squeeze important concessions
from Soviet Russia.
Russians in London said they
knew nothing of these reports
but opinion was expressed In
other quarters that Sir Stafford,
who arrived yesterday, would
b consulted about them.
No one in the British capital
specified what Germany hoped
to get from Russia by the report
ed show of strength at Krakow,
in occupied Poland, and in Ru
mania, but speculation centered
around oil and the great Ukran
lan wheat fields.
(Turkish and foreign quarters
exchanged reports in Ankara a
week ago today saying that Ger
many was putting heavy pres
sure on Russia for access to the
wheat granaries of the Ukraine,
even going so far as to plan a
Joint German-Ruman invasion
by mid-June).
New York, June 13 (IP) The
British radio quoted a Moscow
radio report today to the effect
that the Caspian sea flotilla of
the Soviet, fleet had lust com
pleted extensive maneuvers
which showed that it "is fully
prepared to meet any emer
gency." The British broadcast
was heard here by CBS.

Termite Actions
Becoming Known
Br Joba W. Rally
Washington, D. C, June 13
When O. M. Orton, representing
the International Woodworkers
of America (CIO) defied the gov
ernment of the United States and
implied that the defense media
tion board was trying to disor
ganize labor it caused no sur
prise to the house committee
investigating un-American activ
ities. The committee (popularly
known as the Dies committee)
has known Orton as a commu
nist for years and knows that in
defying the government he was
following the party line. Fur
thermore, the committee knows
and names the leaders of other
strikes on the Pacific coast,
strikes which tied up hundreds
of millions of dollars of war
orders.
In contract with the CIO log
gers and millmen of Puget
sound, some 20,000 of whom
have gone on striking and who,
through Orton, refused the me
diation of the board, the Co
lumbia river loggers have re
ceived a pat on the head and the
blessings of the board for com
pliance. On October 24, 1938, the Dies
committee notified congress that
Orton was a communist and
lived at Aberdeen, Wash. For
this statement the committee
was ridiculed by a number of
high government officials, for
in those days the reds were
more than tolerated by the ad
ministration. Shortly before the
strike of CIO loggers in Wash
ington state member of the
committee again directed atten
tion to Orton's connections with
the communist party. This was
on April 3 (speech in Congres
sional Record) and the strike
started early in May.
That isn't all congress has
been told about Orton. Repre
sentative Dies alleged three
months ago that Orton was one
of the CIO leaders sponsoring
the American Peace Mobiliza
tion. Last week the committee
received testimony that the
American Peace Mobilization
was organized by communists
and is controlled by them. Day
and night, 24 hours a day, the
"mobilizers" have been picket
ing the White House for more
Ithan a month. The pickets,
! carrying banners, are usually
; youngsters of high school age
land elderly women. They are
tempting to foment civil war.
Being good organizers, they
moved in when the CIO was
being formed and had them
selves elected to responsible
paid for picketing and some of I positions. When the Dies com-
the money has come from theimittee began its expose years
CIO seamen's union.
I PRESIDENT of the United
Automobile Workers, which has
1 tied up airplane orders at the
i North American plant, Ingle
; wood, Cal., is Elmer J. Freytag.
! Under oath last week at a Dies
'committee hearing, Freytag was
forced to admit he registered
, as a communist voter in Los
Angeles In 1938. Chief organ
izer for CIO on the Pacific coast
is Lou Michener, who came to
Washington with Freytag. Back
in August, 1938, Michener was
identified as a communist by completely equipped are 14,000
ago it was ridiculed, but the
prophecy that chickens would
come to roost is now being
borne out. Congress is on the
verge of doing something dras
tic if these strikes are not
stopped.
WHEN the 41st division (MaJ.
Gen. George A. White) receives
100 percent equipment on a
priority it will know that it is
marked for a foreign expedition
as a "task force," which is the
1941 name for American Expe
ditionary Force. First to be
the committee on un-American
activities. A few days ago the
committee obtained a photo
static copy of Michener's party
membership book.
Two CIO members came to
Washington and testified to the
communist control of their
union; told of their fight to get
rid of the Freytags, etc. Scarce
ly had these witnesses returned
to Los Angeles than one was
beaten up by a goon squad; the
other had two telephone warn
ings that his house would be
dynamited.
The strike in the aluminum
plants in Cleveland, Ohio, is
now being led by Alex Bilant,
exposed as a communist by the
committee in August, 1938. Dies
committee has been denounced,
very recently, by Philip Mur
ray, head of CIO, when the
committee called attention to
these communist organizers. But
wiieu O. M. Orton charged the
Defense Mediation board with
being labor-busters, Murray said
Orton's accusation was "lying
defamation."
IT may appear, to some, that
there is too much harping on
the communists in this column,
but slowly the facts of these
termites in organized labor are
coming to the surface. They are
responsible for many of the .
strikes which have delayed pro- '
duction; they are striving to '
break down the morale of the
American people; they are at-1
men at Camp Devens, Mass., all
regulars, but Chief of Staff
Marshall hints that a few good
national guards In the service
are also on his list. More trans
ports have just been taken over
by the army, including boats
from the Matson and President
lines on the Pacific coast.
