PAGE TWO AFL LEADERS NTO PIT SPARK DRIVE (Continued from Page One) for a settlement "within few days." This fternoon, Ed Weston, s member of the Boiler Makers' union and sound truck speaker for the Metal Trades council, waa attacked and beaten by a group of men in front of the Seattle Labor temple, police re ported. Six patrolmen who re sponded to a call said his assail ants fled in a car with Montana license plates before their ar rival. The attack was broken up when AFL members rushed out - of the building. Fred Kruse, Metal Trades council secretary, who has offices across the street, said the attack was by "welders' ' goons." In Seattle, shipyard workers . went to jobs without clashes ' with pickets and the Metal Trades Council said an even larger proportion was returning to work than yesterday. Few striking welders, however, went back to the yards. At Houghton yesterday, "flying wedge" tac- tics were used to get men into the plant and fist fights ensued. ' Meantime, a welders' spokes ' man, replying to an office of production management demand that the striking welders re turn to work in shipyards and other defense industries here . and at Tacoma, said any such notification should come direct ! ly from the White House. ; Army Fears for Silk Parachutes . COFFEYVILLE, Kas., Oct 29 Of) The .army would like to have them back, but chances are pretty slim .for the return of eight parachutes used to drop K - flares in Coffeyville's blackout air raid this week.

It is already debating arming of them. It is a foregone conclusion that amendment will be approved. The neutrality act was a gesture in the first place, designed to say that this war was no concern of ours and that we proposed to stay away from it. If we are to arm the enemies of Hitler and GET THE ARMA MENT TO THEM, we can t stay away from it. ION METAL A call for all aviation sheet metal work students with over 90 hours training has been re ceived from the Boeing Aircraft company at Seattle, Clem Clarke, defense coordinator, re ported Wednesday. About 22 members of the Klamath defense training pro gram will report for work in response to the call, Clarke said, boosting the total place ments to about 100 since the local program started. About 30 men with less than 90 hours experience will remain in the classes and there will now be room for at least 20 more students, Clarke stated, pointing out that any man 18 years of age or over may enroll in the program by calling at the Oregon state employment office at Third and Main streets. Wednesday's call was the first received here in over a month and Clarke remarked that some of the students had dropped out in the belief that job placement was doubtful.

WITH COAL CHIEFS (Continued from Page One) go to the White House -immediately to see President Roosevelt. - Mr. Roosevelt had suggested today's meeting between Lewis and Taylor. While Taylor and Lewis were meeting. Senator Ellender (D- La.) urged in a senate speech that labor organizations act to oust Lewis as a leader "before it u) too late." Describing Lewis as "a traitor to our American ideals and a menace to the peace and pros perity of our nation," Ellender said public patience had reached the breaking point because of the interruption threatened to defense production by the strike in mines supplying steel mills. "Do not force congress," El lender said in a plea addressed to the laboring man. "into a posi tion where it may be compelled to pass legislation that will take away from you some of your most cherished rights." Science Revision Helps Education, Says Groesbeck (Continued from Page One) all that the University of Ore gon stood alone as the only school of letters and arts In the United States not offering sci ence majors and the request for the same having been long pend ing, action to settle the issue was urged. The curriculum committee of the board, after careful study, made a report at the Ashland meeting recom mending the granting of the re quest of the university, which recommendation was unan imously approved by the board. "All parties concerned have long known the issue and had filed voluminous briefs. The chancellor, not having acted in the matter for four years and then having made a proposal which favored merely a "trade" and which In no ' acceptable manner solved the issue, the curriculum committee, ' with justification, acted without further fruitless and time-consuming conferences with the chancellor's office. "Nothing whatever of disad vantage results to the college; nothing Is taken away; nothing is changed. As to the resulting duplication, the comment may be made that already there is much duplication in major courses granted at the request of both schools. Such dupli cations were deemed necessary to the welfare of the system. 'The board is directed by law to avoid 'unnecessary and wasteful duplication.' The tax payers have no further burden cast upon them by reason of the granted request. The cost, which is minor, will be taken care of in the university budget. No appropriation was asked. The courses will- be added in the fall of 1942. . "No one should get excited by reason of the board's action: no one is hurt. But the schol astic standing of higher educa tion In Oregon is decidedly im proved."

No administration speakers sought' to reply but earlier Sen ator Connelly (D-Tex.) told re porters that the best answer to charges t h e administration sought war was the fact the United States still was at peace. If President Roosevelt really wanted to get the country Into war, Connally said., "he could easily have done so year ago." 'There comes a clever word from the west," Nye declared. "that the betting there is 10 to one that if we approve this re pealer, the United States will be in the war before Great Britain is in the war. "The nasty looking claws of war, with all their meanings, were overlooked as the ears were charmed with the gentle purrs that repealing the arms embargo and adopting a lease- lend program of aid to Britain and her allies were by no means acts of war but were really de signed to preserve America's neutrality while at the tame time helping a gallant people. 'The Idea x x x had sufficient charm to make it possible for many who are definitely against actual involvement in war to believe that we could really go for a stroll with the leper of war and come back without hav ing caught the leprosy." - But Senator Johnson (R-Callf.) expressed the opinion that the president's bluntly worded Navy day speech had aroused new op position to the bill, and Senator Wheeler (D-Mont.) said a poll indicated at least 40 senators would vote against broadening the house-approved ship arming measure to end present neutral ity on ship movements.

U. S. MAY DISPATCH . (Continued from Page One) Kaiser Wilhelm II. HI ambition to complete It has been regarded aa a contributing factor In the chain of events leading to the first World war. Britain was reported to have asked lend-lease assistance for the project, along with requests for aid to improve the trans - Iranian railroad, farther east, and for delivery of 200 locomotives, 4900 freight cart, many tons of rails and other equipment to build up rail transport in the middle cast. It was understood that United States officials looked with par ticular favor upon the Iraq rail road proposal, and that the mili tary mission would'depart short ly for Basra, Iraq, for an Investi gation which might determine whether this government would tackle the job. The 100-mllo construction, it was reported, would take place in a stretch between Basra and Bagdad In central ' Iraq, from where a standard gauge line runs northward through Mosul to a connection with the Turkish rail road system.
