JJERE on the Coast, CIO is '. trying to horn In on the Kais i er dues gravy. , AFL protests bitterly to FDR ; and wants him to call off the I hearing the labor relations board is holding in Portland. Says it ! is "stubborn, stupid policy, i which would decrease produc tion, lower morale, develop In efficiency and create confusion and chaos." ! TTRUE enough. That's Just A what will happen. ! Remember, the CIO big shots' purpose ;n intervening in the Kaiser situation is to GET THE ! DUES the AFL has been collect ing. Just to keep the record straight, remember that the skirts of the AFL big shots are not clean in connection with this scramble for dues. Tff our natural anger at these disgraceful brawls over who will collect the workers' dues in this time "when American boys are fighting and dying all over the world in defense of the American way of life, we mustn't lose sight of the fact that the : RANK AND FILE of labor is as i loyal and patriotic and as ready j to moke sacrifices for the com I mon good as any rank-and-file , body of men in America, j THEIR SONS are fighting and 1 dying along with the rest. !

"pitches from Cairo said the fact that axis columns were fleeing westward instead of northeastward toward Tripoli might Indicate that Rommel's southern flank planned to by pass Tripoli completely in Its haste to reach Tunisia. Allied warplanes were report ed already raining havoc on the road along which Rommel must travel up the coast of Tunisia for a junction with other axis forces in the Tunis-Bizerte zone. Axis Scores Cain The German high command asserted that Gen. Walther Nehr- ing's forces had attacked and captured "Important" but un specified positions in Tunisia and seized more than 100P al lied prisoners. Allied headquarters In North Africa conceded that axis troops advancing southwest of Pon du Fahs had scored a penetration of about seven miles and reported "minor engagements continue in the Bou Arada-Goubellat area" farther north. The' heaviest fighting recently has centered In the area between Pont du Fahs and Medjez-el-Bab some 30 miles southwest of Tunis, where the Germans have been trying to crack the French held flank of the allied lines. Satellites Surrender As the campaign in Libya neared Its climatic phase, the news on the soviet front grew blacker by the hour for Adolf Hitler's invasion armies. Soviet dispatches declared that Germany's satellites fight ing on the eastern front were displaying a willingness to sur render, and reported that in a two-hour battle near Postoyaly, on the Voronezh front, 5000 Italian officers and men were taken prisoner. Since last Wednesday, the ! ! Russian command said, the red j armies have captured 52.000 j prisoners of whom only 2500 were Germans. The others were 27.500 Hungarians and 22,000 I Italians. . Nasls Hedge The Russians say leas than 50.. j 000 survivors remain of 22 nazl ! divisions trapped In the Volga- j Don corridor. Hitler's command dealt ob- ; liquely with the lifting of the , Leningrad siege, in the north, as serting that "local breaks In the German Una were dealt with or led to the cutting off of enemy groups." Red army headquarters, re porting the capture of numerous cities and towns on five key fronts, gave this picture of the vast battle theater: Leningrad Russian shock troops continued to clean up blockhouses and dugouts In wi dening the break through the 17-month-old German siege ring. Moscow said food and other re lief supplies were now en route to Leningrad's 1,000,000 resi dents through a ftve-mile-wide corridor which has restored the city's communications with the outside world. .
