London, Aug 31 U.R On
the eve of the fifth anniversary
of the beginning of the European
war, one finds in London offi
cial and semi-official quarters a
growing number of converts to
the belief that the war In this
theater can bo ended within the
next 35 days If the Allies get
good weather and a fair share of
the battle breaks.

For Britain and the United
States, the first phase was a
battle of production and Invent
ive genius to build the weapons
to beat Germany and catch up
on volume production. Japan's
attack on Pearl Harbor in De
cember, 1941, turned America
from a non-belligerent ally to
a thundering, all-out enemy.
America's thunder rolled on
the land and on the sea but es

Los Angeles, Aug. 31. (U.R)
Witnesses told a legislative com
mittee investigating marketing
costs today that gangs of swamp
ers at terminal markets enforce
demands of $5 an hour for un
loading fruit and vegetable
trucks by conducting a reign of
terror while police "look the
other way."
"Unloading fees were upped
four times in the past year with
out any authorization as far as I
can determine from the state
railroad commission, war labor
board or any other regulative
body" A. C. Ramsey, Los An
geles transportation operator,
told the food and fiber commit
tee headed by Sen. George Hat
field, Madera.
"Swampers consist largely of
combative types, and we prefer
to pay their excessive charges
rather than have our driver
fight. A man doesn't look funny
with his teeth out. A trucking
company gets a bad reputation
when it doesn't deliver, so in
desperation we pay."
Ramsey said swampers aver
age six hours work a day and
are organized into a union, local
630, a branch of the Internation
al Teamsters Union (AFL).
August Wltte, Reedley, Cal.,
grower, packer and shipper, said
he now pays $8.25 for the un
loading of a truck of peaches,
more than twice the prewar
cost. ,
Allen Remy, Sanger, Cal.,
who owns and drives a truck,
said he frequently was unable
to find swampers but that when
he did the work himself he was
forced to pay the unloading fees
anyway.
Sen. Hatfield asked Ramsey
what happened if truckers x re
fused to pay the fees.
"He is Jumped on and beat
up," the trucker replied. "There
is always fighting going on."
"Don't the police stop these
fights?" Hatfield asked.
"Very seldom. They are too
busy to interfere or are at anoth
er corner when the fight starts."
