PAGE TEH MONDAY, MAT 13, 1941 THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD, BROWNSVILLE, TEXAS Boston And Frisco Strikes Halt Warship Construction A LfTO WALKOUT THREAT CRISIS FEARED NEAR Shipyards i Branded Illegal By President Of Labor Federation By The Associated Press fitrlko threats In plants of the General Motors Corporation and in the Boston Navy Yard reached critical point Monday and the American Federation ol Labor threw its influence against a Pacific Coast of 1,700 AFL and CIO shipyard machinists. Members of a National Defense Mediation Board panel attempting to head off a strike in 60 General Motors plants which have $100,000,000 of defense contracts adjourned early Sunday, after nine days of negotiations with CIO leaders and company representatives. Chiefs of the union, the United Automobile Workers, flew back to Detroit to consider whether to call walkout. But Chairman Davis of the board panel said negotiations under its director would resume Tuesday and that "there Is no Indication ot any purpose not to continue production." The UAW wants a new contract providing for wage increase of ten cents an hour. The company has offered nt least two cents an hour lor all workers and three to live cents for certain skilled craftsmen.

Strike Navy 1'nrd AFL's building construction trades council said 925 members would not report Monday at the Boston Navy Yard, where $30.000,000 of defense building Is underway, in protest ngainst the employment of 7,100 WPA workers. Secretary-Treasurer K. A. Johns i said the union would not picket at present but a members would not go back to work until it wa', agreed that union labor would handle all new construction "from start to finish." In the meanwhile, William Green, president of the AFL, as- ncrtcrt in Patterson, N. that a walkout of union machinists In San Francisco shipyards was an outlawed strike" and that the AFL was "appealing to the unloni there to rescind Ihelr strike action." The walkout involves deler.se contracts estimated by the workers at $500,000.000.

Green said it violated union-management agreement prohibiting either strikes or walkouts. The strikers want $1.15 an hour Instead of $1.12, plus continu- nnce of double pay fcr overtime. Union leaders in Snn Francisco their picket lines would keep 15.000 to 20,000 men away from work. Work on Warships The Navy Department disclosed that in the San Francisco area I there were 27 destroyers, 4 cruisers 43 auxiliary vessels under con- I atrttctlon. The department did not I how many were affected by the strike, which involves 11 yards.

Chairman Truman (D-Mo) of a special Senate committee investigating the conduct of the defense program, said the strike would be before the committee Monday, Southern coal mine operators, at odds with cio's United Mine Workers of America over a new wage contract, agreed to meet Union leaders at New York for new negotiations. The mines are operating under a temporary agreement which increased the southern wage from $3.50 to S6.GO a day. The union still demands $7, which Northern mine operators already i have agreed to pay. The New Mexico Federation of Labor (AFL) prepared for a court test oT the state police ban on I picketing of the Army's huge project nt Fort Wlngatc ordnance depot.

A fiesperado notorious for daring jailbreaks may lose his life, together with those of three erstwhile pals, for bringing up an argument about where he should be in prison.

Otherwise Charles Frazler, 42- yei.r-old Texan with eight escapes .0 his record, migl.t never have been called upon again to face murder charges in the 1933 killing of "apt. John A. Singleton, a Louisana penitentiary official. Attorney-General Eugene Stanley nnounced Monday he would per- onally prosecute murder charges Frazier and three other -touislana convicts--sole survivors the bloody 1D33 break in which ingleton was slain. Eight other onvicts involved have since been tiled.

"It is imperative- in the interest maintaining prison discipline iat these convicts be brought to ustice," Stanley declared. "Other- ise there would be a premium on he liTe of every man in the peni- ntiary," Stanley said it was Frazier's filing a habeas corpus plea a few weeks ago that brought to his attention the fact the Singleton murder charge still stands against Frazier, whom former Governoi James V. Allred of Texas described as the "toughest man in the Texas penitentiary" when granting Frazier's extradition to Louisiana in 1836.

The War Today BY DEWITT MACKENZIE AP War Expert Poems Published BAYMONDV1LLE Four poems- God's Word," "Can We," "Foster Mother" and "My Prayer" by Mrs. Mary Portman will appear In the national anthology, "America Forever." This is the fifth poem to be pub- ished by Mrs. Portman this spring. her of victory over the Nazi war machine, With Adolf Hitler's campaign in he Balkans already concluded and he Atlantic now ranking as the hief theatre of the War, March of Time's "Crisis in the Atlantic" is xceptionally timely just now.

The Urn will be shown at the Capitol Theatre for 3 days, from Tuesday Thursday, inclusive, together with he feature "The Son of Monte Cristo." Apart from the ravaging of Westminster Abbey, priceless heritage of the English-speaking family, the record Nazi bombing of London developed two highly important but rather oddly assorted facts--(1) thirty-three enemy planes were destroyed, and (2) the morale of the capital appears to be unimpaired, The ble bag of German craft represents a killing of about ten per cent of the total number of airships employed, which was estimated at between 300 nnd 400. And this isn't the first time that the British have achieved such a percentage of destruction recently. Now observers have been waiting for this figure of 10 per cent to crop up. because Hitler air authorities have held that when it was reached they would have made night raiding unprofitable for the Hitlerites, Five per cent was raach- i ed long ago, taut the higher bracket evaded the defenders. More Planes Available Adequate defense against night bombing is a problem which neither side has solved up to this juncture, and only titne will tell whether the present British succcess is flash in the pan or the real thing.

The improvement would appear to lie in the Royal Air Force 'ighter planes since they were mainly responsible for the slaughter. This presumably is due to the fact that more warplanes are available, and that the efficacy of the fighter ships has been improved. Of course, the heaviest loss to the Germans has noUbeen In the machines, but in the airmen, whose training Is long and arduous. The British claim that during: the first nine days of the speeded-up air conflict this month i the enemy have suffered about 350 and 400 casualties--a grave loss to the Nazi oirforcc. It is doubtful whether Nazidom could have done anything which would have Infuriated Britons more than to bomb their Valhalla- Westminster Abbey.

Their determination was being registered for them Monday by Big Ben, which also was bombed In Its lofty tower near the abbey, for the great clock kept on ticking anl telling the hour, although its world-famous chimes were stilled. Bad Luck Omen As regards the Saturday night attack on London, one only can say that any World war veteran will tell you he wouldn't want to be In the boots of the Nazi airman who loosed the bomb which drove through the roof of Westminster Abbey. Man, but that's asking for bad luok. Why, the Germans lost the World war just because of a similar slip. Every soldier who knew of the affair can vouch for that, it was like this: Atop the gplre at the eharch In the town of Albert.

In the valley of the winding Somme, stood a heroic statue of the Virgin with the Holy Child in arms. The figure was glided, and we could see It for miles when the sun glinted against the gold. Fighting raged back and forth across unhappy Albert until it was laid in dust. But in the midst of all this devastation the old church still held its own. The tradition grew up that the side which ehot down the gulden Virgin would lose the war.

It became a by-word with the troops, and gunners tried to avoid the church, although stray shells' i damaged the base of the statue until It leaned far forward. During the terrible fighting along the Somme in the spring of 1918 some German artilleryman Chiang Confident Chinese Will Win CHUNGKING (M-- Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek declared in a speech Sunday night that China, without the help of an expeditionary force or naval action, but with material and economic aid, was prepared to undertake single-handed the task of putting down Japan, He added It was conviction that "any country in the world matching itself against American democracy would meet with certain destruction." He spoke at a farewell dinner given by Mme. Chiang for United States Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson, who is leaving to become minister to Australia, Many leading figures Jn China attended.
