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

FEED LACK CUTS
Portland,. 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.
The Oregon committee de
clared that the recommended
cut of 11 per cent from national
livestock goals would have to
be boosted to a 20 per cent
drop here because of Oregon's
low feed supplies.
Members of the Oregon com
mittee emphasized that market
blockade brought about by red
stamp regulations would have
to be adjusted so that cattle and
hogs might be marketed without

Union Plays Godmother To
"Problem" -Tanks In Isles
By James McGliney
United Press Staff Correspondent.
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

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.,

"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."

ASKS COOS BAY
TO VOTE MERGER
Marshfield, Ore., Oct. 16.
(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.
"A common sense vote of the
people In the three places gave
Portland the same opportunity
to organize into a great city that
is now being offered the citizens
of the Coos bay area," the
former governor commented.
A report of the State Planning
commission during Martin s ad
ministration as governor had
recommended the advantage of
uniting the tSP cities, Coos bay
area citizens recalled.
