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.

It is a foregone conclusion that
amendment will be approved.
The neutrality act was a gesture

that this war was no concern of
ours and that we proposed to

If we are to arm the enemies

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.

the Germans had lost 8000 men.
40 guns and 32 mortars tn new
fighting on the approaches to
Kalinin, an important station
on the Moscow-Leningrad rail
way. One mechanized division
had lost so much of its equip

Other advices received in
London said the Germans had
lost 60 per cent of their effec

the red army' counterattacks
were said to be growing in In
tensity and scope.
Dispatches from the capital
said the Germans had lost 60

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."

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."

VOTE ON WAR
SEEN BY FOES

the floor where at one time dur
ing Nye's speech there were
only six senators in his audience.
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.
