MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY. OCTOBER 17, 1943 PAGE THREE ALABAMA MINERS URGED BY LEWIS War Labor Board Also Acts ; Strikes Hampering War Effort. (By United Press) The river of steel which in Alabama dwindled to a rivulet as lack of coal production began to tell on steel blast furnaces, bid fair to swell to a river again as Alabama United Mine Workers officials thought it "reasonable to believe" 22,000 striking miners would be back on the job Monday. The War Labor board in Washington and the UMW chief John L. Lew,is urged miners to return to the shafts. The WLB ordered them back "forthwith," while Lewis, in a telegram to striking groups in Illinois and Indiana, urged them to "sacri fice personal interests and sub ordinate righteously outraged feelings and return to work on Monday." . . . . The WLB's ordir, issued an hour after Lewis' sending of the telegram, threatened , no penal ties, but assumed jurisdiction, of the case because it arose from a labor dispute and might result In substantial interference with the war effort. In other areas, scattered strikes hampered production of war implements. mobile Workers at the Bohn Aluminum onH nrac Pnm Adrian, Mich., charged the com pany refused to negotiate a new labor contract.

Ore., Oct. 17 (U.fi) Low feed supplies will - force Oregon livestock raisers to cut their hog and cattle population more than 20 per cent, a state feed committee of the War Food administration declared tonight as their three-day production conference ended.

London (U.R) The English-Speaking Union was worrying today about what to do about the two American officers who wanted to know where they could hunt deer with bows and arrows, but the Committee of Common Interests was sure something would turn up soon. Mrs. V. H. Biscoe, who is by way of being a fairy godmother to homeless, helpless or hopeless Americans, said she already had found an archery range and equipment'for the hunting duo and she was waiting for final word on where they could shoot some deer. -v The request from the would be deer-slayers was only slight ly out of the ordinary for .the Union, which seems to have adapted most of America's prob lem children over here as part of its program to. improve rela tions among English-speaking peoples. "We always have about 50 Americans on our hands," said Mrs. Biscoe, thumbing through a fat sheaf of requests on which she was working. "We'll take care of anybody who's in the forces or doing any kind of war work, and we'll see that they do- whatever they want to do, whether they have a few hours on their hands or an eight-day furlough." " ; Beine dedicated to proving to the English that the Americans aren't such bad blokes, and vice versa, the Union steers most of the Americans who come to it into British homes. Chair-weary captains .who get a leave from paper work at headquarters may wind up shooting grouse on an earl's estate in Scotland or flak-happy fliers who have completed their tours may become prize board ers at a duchess' country home in the south of England. Mrs. Biscoe and her assist ants Miss Margaret Hall, an English girl, and Mrs. John Bigelow Dodge of Charlotte, N. C. specialize in steering the right Americans into the right homes. Thus, a sensitive soui who loves symphonic music won't be sent to a home where the one and only daughter is a hepcat who plays swing records all day.. Among the union's current re quests for help are oneifrom an army , nurse who wants to visit English cathedrals, a boy wno is interested in continental banking, and another boy who wants a quiet country . place where he can spend his leave with his English fiancee. Playing Cupid is right down the union's alley, even though its membership is studded with the names of Britain's high and Every delivery slip stamped with gallons delivered Island Feels Weight mighty, such as Prime Minister Churchill, the Archbishop of Canterbury and Lloyd George. The union even has a date bureau, which it set up to help the U. S. army's drive to keep the boys off the streets, and it runs Weekly dances for Amer icans. One of the union's prize good deeds was for the American soldier who caught pneumonia on the boat on the way over. Mrs. Biscoe arranged for ' his convalescence at the country homo of a wealthy English woman. The boy's hostess had the whole village scaring , up rare eggs and milk to help him along. And then there was the man who used to work in an iron foundry in the United States and wanted to get in touch with foundrymen over here. The union took care of him, too. : BEST FOR YOUTH OF NAZIS, ' New York U,R) Nazi youth must be educated for peace, de clares Dr. Alonzo F. Myers, cnairman of the Commission for Establishment of an Internation al Education Office, but their in struction in democracy can. best be carried out by German teach ers in German schools. Dr. Myers, chairman of the Department of Higher Educa tion at New York University and chairman of the National Education Association Commis sion for the Defense of Democ racy Through Education, se's forth his concrete suggestions for the re-education of the Axis world in the November issue of "Click" magazine. - "Truth must take the place of lies ... in the textbooks of the new Germany," says Dr. Myers, "and they must teach respect for world peace objectives." Dr. Myers is convinced, how ever, that one democratically minded German teacher would be worth 10 foreign teachers, and that in no case should chil dren of Axis nations be uprooted from their natural homes and brought to this country for schooling.' Dr. Myers says that, after two years of work with a committee of educators and citizens repre senting the United States, Great Britain and most of the United Nations, he is convinced that out first objective in the re-educa tlon of Axis youth should be the establishment of an Internation al Education Office., Phone 2119 for Towing or Wrecker Service Anywhere Anytime Lewis Super Service of U. S. Bombs "This office must be repre sentative of all nations," he says, "but the United Nations ought to keynote, its police and deter mine its objectives. Such a cen tralized education office must be backed by full authority to en force its regulations. r "Here in the United States we never fully understood the ter rific power of education until our Axis enemies employed that power for evil ends. We mud now insist that this powerful in strument for good or bad . . . shall never again be made s means for the destruction of civilization." ONE MORE SPEECH Hollywood, Cal.

(U.R) Charles Martin, former governor of Oregon, tonight urged Marshfield and North Bend citizens to forget local prejudices and vote a consolida tion of the two cities in the special- election to be held Nov. 16. Martin said there was similar opposition to the consolidation of Portland, East Portland and Albina when he first came to Portland 60 years ago.
