IWA Local 6-12 CIO. Feeling ran high this morn ing when the AIL. machinists went through the Weyer haeuser CIO picket line. Pickets piled up in front of me ursi macmnisi automobile and brought it to a ntnn. The driver attempted several times to move ahead, without suc cess, and pickets on two oc casions lifted one side of the car from the pavement. It was not overturned, however. With pickets grouped around the first car, the driver of the second machine went around the crowd and rolled into the plant gate. That appeared to Bive momentum to the :AFL move ment, and about a dozen cars, carrying approximately 30 men, passed into the plant amid cat calls. The driver of the first car got going and went In at high speed. No one was hurt. Virgil Burtz, international vice presi dent of the International Wood workers of America (CIO) dis played torn trousers which he said resulted from an attempt to run him down. He said he stopped to talk to a man in a car parked with the machinist automobiles half a mile from the picket line, and that the man tartcd up the car and ran Salesmen Wanted Temporary and steady men needed.

Sheriff Lloyd L. Low and Deputies Jack Francy and Dale Muttoon sought to maintain peace at the gate. Sheriff Low asked the pickets to keep the road open. He told the pickets he was not interested in sirine breaking or in opposition to their program but that his duty re quired mat nc do wnai ne couia to keep the public highway open to travel and maintain order. , Machinists went through the CIO line for the first time yes terday. On that occasion, the line opened to the cars and there was no physicial resistance. Several state policemen were in the vicinity of the picket line this morning, but did not enter the crowd mining around me stalled car. Machinists announced last week that an investigation showed the CIO strike to be "illegal" and that they were not obligated to respect the picket line. CIO spokesmen cnargea the CIO workers here are suf fering under "intolerable condi tions" and demanded a union shoo. The strike has tied up four large mills. At Weyer haeuser, focal point of the trouble, CIO has organized pro duction employes, but the ma' chinists have an AFL contract. II. i BROADCASTS (Continued from Page One) panics.. At 6 p. m., NBC and ABC said tne tecnnicians warned out NBC broadcasts were interrupt ed for 15 minutes, and ABC broadcast for a half hour. NBC, in a statement, said the union staged the "unauthorized and wildcat strike to secure their completely unjustified wage demands. Powley said the men receive from $226 to $381 monthly for a five-day week, but that they are obliged to work up to 12 hours a day without overtime. He said the umon sought a gen eral wage increase averaging 35 per cent in all classifications and overtime after eight hours in any one day.

In talking today Tojo brushed aside many questions relating to war and politics, but when asked if Saburo Kurusu had known about Pearl Harbor plans when he talked to Cordell Hull about peace. Tojo replied that lie could not answer without documentary evidence. 1,300,000 Men To Get Discharges WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 CP) The army expects to release an additional 1,300,000 men by Christmas, a war department spokesman told senators today. With approximately 700,000 already released since V-E Day, this will mean a reduction of 2, 000,000 in army strength since Germany's defeat. MaJ. Gen. S. G. Henry, assist ant chief of staff, told the senate military committee that demob ilization was running ahead of schedule with an estimated 400, 000 being released in September instead of a planned 250,000.

The young monarch was in Paris last week conferring with Dr. Vladimir Macek, Croat peas ant leader, and was believed at tempting to persuade Macek to come to London and set up a government in opposition to Tito. U. S.-Greek Talk Byrnes' talk with the Greek recent was believed linked both with a proposed peace treaty for Italy and mixan pontics. Byrnes took advantage of a day recess in the conference of five leading allied foreign min isters. Staff representatives of the United States, Great Britain, Russia, France and China held secret conferences and studied documents which were so com plicated as to postpone the third plenary session until Friday. Diplomats sav the Greeks are willing to join the United States and Great Britain in a lenient attitude toward Italy, even though Mussolini attacked the little kingdom.

MIDNIGHT EDITORIALS ON NEWS (Continued trora Pago One) the people who live in great workshop cities don't just ho out in the fields at night and giitnor their food for that evening and the next day, lt hus to be BROUGHT to them. You then recall the bombed and dynamited railroad bridges, the shot-up and burned-out roll ing stock and the wrecked and torn up terminals thnt.hnvu boon meeting your eye in 'an almost wearisome sequence day utter day. You recall the highways that would bo practically deserted but for the American military traffic. Deserted because there are few trucks left in Germany and precious little fuel to run them if there were any. How, you ask yourself, is the tood unit is obviously present in the country to be got into the cities where It is needed.' A NOTHER thought then occurs. Food, in these modern days, isn't consumed just as it comes from the fields. In large meas ure, it has to be PROCESSED. The processing is done in fact ories. It then breaks in upon you that a very considerable number of these dead and smokeless chimneys must belong to PRO CESSING plants that for one reason or another (war damage, lack of fuel, lack of tin or glass or sugar) are idle. If it can't be processed, how Is it to get to the people who need it? AND if it isn't pro cessed much of the food you sec in the fields must inevitably SPOIL, i . TN the light of these facts, you begin to revise your opinions. It isn't enough that a normal (possibly even MORE than nor mal) amount of food is growing undamaged in the soil of western Germany. Or even that it is slowly and inefficiently, with clearly apparent lack of equip ment, being harvested. Before it can assauge the pangs of hunger in the cities it must be transported and pro cessed and stored and distributed and the machinery of trans port and processing and storage and .distribution in Germany is now all but out of commission. ANOTHER ' fact filters slowly into your consciousness. This food you see growing all around in such apparent profusion Is PERISHABLE food fruits and vegetables and wine grapes and such. There is some grain, to be sure, but not a great deal in the aggregate. Western Germany has always imported its grain and feedstuffs from eastern Germany and Poland and Hungary and Romania. That now is OUT. There is no trans port, and besides it is rumored on pretty good authority that the Russians aren't leaving any there for the Germans to im port, i Lack of feedstuffs cuts down the number of livestock that can be maintained, and at this point you recall that you haven't, seen many cows and steers and pigs and sheep and chickens since crossing the Rhine. SO, in the end, in spite of the fatni.es onrl tKn lnehnc anri the undamaged completeness of the purely agricultural areas of this rich and Intensively tilled western Germany- you have to concede that it is entirely pos sible Indeed, highly probable that starvation may stalk the land this winter. If it does well, that is an other story, to be dealt with in another chapter.
