HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON June 26, 1B48 PAGE TWO FDR ARGUMENT REJECTED BY 'HOUSE, SENATE (Continued From Page One) John L. Lewli of the United Mine Worker. It provides Jail termi and fines for. persons, instigating a strike In a plant or mine taken over by the government. The chief executive said in a message to the senate that the measure had an entirely praise worthy purpose but that he was convinced it would in some cases produce strikes "in vital war plants which otherwise woum not occur." . . .Recommends Induction Declaring he intended to use the powers of government to pre vent the interruption of war pro duction by strikes, Mr. Roose velt formally recommended amendment of the selective serv ice act so that persons between 45 and 65 years may be induct ed into non-combat military serv ice. "This will enable us," he said, "to induct into military service all persons who engage in strikes, stoppages, or other in terruptions of work in plants in the possession of the United States. "Seen necessary This direct approach is neces sary to insure the continuity of war work. The only alternative would be to extend the principle of selective service and make it universal in character." He said he would approve leg islation which would truly strengthen the hands of the gov ernment in dealing with strikes harming the war effort and which would prevent defiance of decisions of the war labor board. Hits Secret Ballot The president struck heavily at a section of the bill which would make it mandatory for the national labor relations board to take a secret strike ballot among employes in plants, mines and other facilities 30 days after no tic of an intention to strike. This section, he said, "will pro duce strikes in vital war plants which otherwise would not oc cur." He said it ignores completely labor's no strike pledge and pro vides in effect for strike notices and strike1 ballots. These pro visions, . he contended, "would stimulate 4abor unrest and give government sanction to strike agitations." The veto came as no surprise at the capital, since the chief executive had said in a statement Tuesday he intended to ask con gress to authorize the use of the selective service act as a club against strikes in war industries. His proposal to use the draft in this manner met with a cool reception In both the senate and house, and, even before the veto message arrived, there was talk of immediate attempts to over ride the president's action and write the proposal into law.

AN "unofficial source" In Lon don says the Germans are PULLING IN some of their Mediterranean garrisons, notably those in Sicily, Sardinia and Cor sica, where only Italians are left. He says the axis has 75 divisions (about 1.125,000 men) in Yugo slavia, Greece, Crete and some of the larger Aegean islands. That suggests that the Ger mans think the big push from the south will come by way of the Balkans. Bolstering this idea, 50 Amer ican Liberators, operating from bases somewhere at the east end of the Mediterranean, hit Salon ika, which is the entrance to the Vardar-Struma gate into the European fortress. TN the news from the Mediter ranean today, this signif icant sentence occurs: "Once again allied planes RULED THE AIR." Getting complete com mand of the air will be the FIRST step to be taken before there is ANY invasion of Europe. U. S. BOMBS BUST (Continued From Page One) weather conditions were en countered and observation of the target was difficult. "Strong fighter oposition was. encountered and many of the en emy were destroyed by the bombers, which were unescort ed. 'Eighteen bombers are miss ing." (end text) Mine-laying was included In RAF operations last night. The RAF attack was concen trated on the industrial area of Elberfeld, the western section of Wuppertal, the air ministry said. The attack was nearly as heavy as that recently made on Barmen, the eastern half of Wup pertal, and from preliminary re ports great damage appears to have been done," a communique declared.' Heavy defensive activity was reported by the fliers who re turned from the area, which Hit' ler has packed with anti-aircraft guns, searchlight batteries and fighter planes in an effort to stave off the battering being given his heavy industries in the region. The German communique said "losses among the populations of the towns attacked are heavy." The communique, broadcast by Berlin and recorded by The As sociated Press, said several towns were hit, "in particular Wuppertal-Elberfeld and Rems cheid." Remscheid, near Wup pertal, is a center of the Ger man tool industry and has im portant railway repair shops. The Barmen area of Wud- pertal got a heavy saturation at tack May 29 when 1500 tons or more of. bombs were laid on the sprawling industrial area which occupies both sides of the Wup per river.

BONANZA GARDENS BONANZA A hailstorm which passed over Bonanza and vicinity Thursday between 1:30 and 2:30 p. m., laid waste vic tory gardens and flowers in that area and covered the ground with a two-inch blanket of frozen rain. A resident said that when the storm was over and she went out to investigate, she found her garden beaten to the ground. Some of her lettuce leaves, she said, had holes in them as if a bullet had gone through. The hail stones, she claimed, were as large as the ordinary sized marble.

SE END OF COAL REVOLT (Continued From Page One) mediately of the effect of the latest statement by the war labor board, indicating it con sidered the coal case now mere ly one in which the union should obey its decision of last June '18 and sign the contract the WLB dictated. Few of the miners knew of this develop ment until today. The eastern Pennsylvania an thracite region reported that 6500 men in collieries of the Shenandoah, Pa., area who worked yesterday voted to stay out today. This was offset by the vote of the three largest locals in Lackawanna county to return to work. An Associat ed Press survey indicated 39, 000 of the 83.000 hard coal miners were Idle yesterday. West Virginia estimated about 25 per cent of its 130,000 min ers remained on strike. Return In the Pennsylvania soft coal fields, where an estimated 60, 000 of the 117,000 miners re mained idle, a break occurred last night in the ranks of the strikers when locals of the Gates and Palmer mines of the H. C. Frick Coke company, em ploying 2100 men near Union town, voted to return to work. Operators estimated about 40 per cent of the 36,000 miners in Pittsburgh's district 5 worked yesterday. HALT OPERATIONS WILKES BARRE, Pa., June 25 (IP) All 30 mines in the United Mine Workers district 9 and at least five In district 1 halted operations today as ap proximately 11,000 more work ers joined a revolt in the an thracite field against a back to work order of the UMWi na- tional policy committee. The action swelled the num ber Idle to approximately two- thirds of the 83,000 men em ployed in the industry.

Jj DADS DOOMED TD LIFE Of WASHINGTON, June 25 W Despite public and congressional pressure, don't expect the offi cial cards to be laid on the table any time soon as far as drafting the nation's pre-Pearl Harbor fathers Is concerned. That was the comment today of D. C. Speaker, unofficial but well Informed capital news source, who noted the demand of the house military committee that the country's dads be re lieved of their uncertainty. "Of course, I'm no official." said D. C, mythical District of Columbia observer who repre sents authentic but unquotable sources, "and personally, I stand by my prediction last week that, barring a major military upset, the general drafting of fathers will be postponed again and again and perhaps 1 n d e f I nitely." However, he continued, the of ficials themselves are not likely to make any such predictions one way or the other. "In the first place." Speaker explained, "most of the demands have been aimed at Selective Service Director Hershey, and, despite his authoritatlv position, his hands are tied." He stressed that Hershey is unanswerable to the army and navy, and that their attitude on thee subject Is ote of traditional reticence, for number of rea sons. King George Returns From African Tour (Continued From Page One) Churchill's automobile speeded up and the prime minister alighted smiling. The smile disappeared when he was told he was late. Scowl ing slightly, he was driven to the RAF mess to join the king. While luggage was being un loaded from the plane, tho king chatted with Churchill about his experiences. Then the two were driven off. The king's pilot, who flew the plane on the entire 5800 mile journey, said the trip home was completely uneventful and that the monarch spent most of the night sleeping. No Investigation Of Riots Planned DETROIT, June 25 iP) Gov ernor Harry F. Kelly said today no grand jury investigation was planned into the race rioting Monday that brought federal troops to restore order on De troit streets. The governor accepted a rec ommendation of his fact-finding committee of four law enforce ment officials that such an in quiry was not needed. "You cannot start a grand jury on hysteria," said one of the committeemen, Attorney Gener al Herbert J. Rushton. From Merrill Mr. and Mrs. E. E.

(Continued From Page One) board would have little stand ing, for It was set up only by executive order not legislation and has no plenary power except what President Roose velt would exercise for it. John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers (UMW) however, reckon they're working for the government, not the operators. Under the government's condi tions, Lewis said the men would work until October 31, though the back-to-work movement hns been slow and production still is spotty. Those same conditions, as ex tended by the operators, con stituted a "yellow dog con tract," in Lewis' words. This set up facts raised a mighty Question as to whether Lewis would put his signature to tho same document that bears the names of the operators. The WLB In a brief state ment late yesterday, said the labor dispute had been determ ined finally when it directed the 521,000 strikers to accept substantially tho terms of the 1941-1942 contract, plus a few WLB concessions that sdded up to pay raises of about 20 cents a day. Hence, the board fig ured that a new contract on that basis should be signed. This stand was announced after Interior Secretary Ickcs, government operator of the mines, had referred in sum moning owners to a conference today to "the controversy be tween the mine workers and the operators," and expressing hope it would be settled speed ily. Immediately the WLB shot back that it had made the final determination of the dispute and as far as it was concerned, there wasn't any controversy. Meantime thousands still re mained away from their jobs but predictions were plenty that the rank and file would be digging coal shortly. About half of Pennsylvania's 200,000 miners, including the anthracite belt, still were ab sent. Absenteeism averaged about 25 per cent In West Vir ginia, 50 per cent in Ohio. Al most all of Alabama's 26,000 were still out snd little more than half of Kentucky's work ers returned. 6:45 Continuous Bat. Sun, SUNDAY!

But he said It would not take care of late 1943 or early 1944 and that congress could not take care of that pe riod, or a food cur. Some people on Capitol Hill, the president asserted, think the easiest way to tine up surplus buying power Is to let prices go sky high. And, speaking In a sarcastic manner, he said he had heard someone on the radio suggest the same thing. This latter person, Mr. Rooes- velt said, asserted (he richerV people would be able to pay higher prices and the poor would suffer but that surplus buying power would be elimin ated under such conditions.
