Berlin UP) Americans in Berlin are busy these days knocking down with smiles a story going the rounds of the German capital that every German national in the United States has been compelled wear the swastika, leading to orders that Jews in Germany must wear a yellow Star of David on their left breasts. Jews have been wearing the Star of David since Sept. 19, and throughout the city one hears the people saying: The Jews must wear the yellow star because America compels our Germans over there to wear the swastika." Offices of American newspaper correspondents and the U.S.

embassy have received frequent inquiries whether the rumor is based on fact. The first inquiry to the Berlin bureau of the Associated Press came from someone who said he had heard that Milwaukee, was the first to enact such a regulation. As three staff members hail from Milwaukee, they were able to assure the inquirer they undoubtedly would have heard from home if the story were true.

SPEARS Sober-minded friends of labor no doubt realize labor leaders and the rank and file responsible for strikes in essential war construction and transportation are doing the interests of labor great harm.

Here is the Seafarers International Union, AFL, which ties up 19 ships and spokesmen for the union say every foreign ship under contract to the union would be tied up on arrival in the United States. The union demands war bonuses for voyages to the West Indies. Whatever the merits behind the strikes, the effect is to lose public good will. Employes have won a great deal of advantage in legislation in the recent decade. These strikes unwittingly on the part of labor are laying the groundwork for undoing at least some of this legislation.

The tendency, moreover, is to make administrative bodies less helpful to organized labor. It is not going to do labor much good to win present battles and later lose the war when the country may decide for a firmer hold on labor laws and their execution. It is of no help to labor to argue their employers likewise hold down war production by carrying on business as usual and even break records at peace production. This kind of a handicap to the production of planes, tanks and ships ii not a dramatic contest such as a strike and does not leave the bad impression in the public mind, though the loss in war output as a result can be far greater than that suffered in a strike. Strikes attract attention, the bad effects can be easily observed and labor, winning a wage increase today, may lose labor and collective bargaining support tomorrow, a Averages Cornell gridders practiced kick-offs and had dummy scrimmage on Lower Alumni Field Thursday and Jrill have another light workout today prior to the final pre-season jcriminage session on Saturday afternoon at Schoellkopf.

Three scrimmage sessions have already heen experienced from which the players have emerged jn top shape and the coaches in ne humor. In Thursday's practice, a Bing-fcamton resident, Russell Geib, played right guard while Rick Ro-chow went back to the seconds, jnd Dan Nehrer, his wrist injury Salter, drilled at blocking bacit rikile Sophomore Walt Pfeffer, also dropped down one notch. There were other halfback changes deeper in the ranks. Dick Quigg moved to the seconds at wingback, Sam Pierce dropping down a team, and Tom McDonald, 186-pound Poughkeepsie sophomore, operated at tailback on the thirds while Charley Robinson, another gophomore, slid to the fourths. Will Templeton, on his showing in Wednesday's scrimmage, was at fuliback for the seconds.

Phil Gol-denberg bucked for the thirds. Young Giant Enrolled as a freshman is Jim Tremble, who stands 6 feet 8 inches and weighs 220. Co-captain of Choate's track team last year with a lad by the name of Anderson, a hurdler and a jumper, who is also a freshman at Cornell, he high jumped 6 feet two inches and also threw the javelin, shot, discus, and hammer. Tremble played football at Choate but expects to confine his Cornell athletic interests to track and fenc Die irregular near tne fourth hour. The 6 per cent ceiling on corporate profits advocated by the Treasury still was a flaw in the speculative picture, brokers said, notwithstanding the growing belief in Wall St.

the proposal might find hard sledding in Congress. War and business developments were without much effect on market temperaments. Commodities steadied. Bonds were narrowly uneven. Rails inclined to contest pressure as revenue figures of principal roads for August and eight months confirmed the sweeping upturn in earnings.

Santa Fe, for instance, more than doubled its 1940 net operating income since the first of the year while Illinois Central reported net of more than seven million dollars compared with a loss of nearly three million in the same months last year. Pathe film drew a following on word holders of the required 66 per cent of this concern's shares had signified approval of the plan to exchange the company's stock in Du Pont Film Mfg. Corp. for shares of E. I.

Du Pont de Nemours Co. and to dissolve the Pathe organization. Motors had the benefit of a brisk increase in this week's automotive output although the question of further restriction of normal production still remained as a handicap for the group. Aircraft Leader Opposes Strike Buffalo UP) Possible strike action at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's two Buffalo warplane plants, threatened by The Aircraft, unaffii-ated union of Curtiss employes, today lacked the support of The Aircraft's president. This development came as the National Labor Relations Board was conducting a hearing, now in its third week, into CIO charges that the company dominates the aircraft.

Leo Kriegbaum, head of the independent labor group, which claims 10,000 members among the 15,000 employed here, announced Thursday he would recommend to the rank and file not to strike. He said he would make the recommendation at a meeting early next week. A week ago, the membership authorized a strike vote unless a National Labor Relations Board election was held within 10 days to determine whether the workers favor The Aircraft, the CIO, or any other union. Regional NLRB Director Henry J. Winters said an election is impossible because The Aircraft is the only union claiming a majority and is recognized as such by the company.

Camp Cost Tripled, Senator Says Buffalo UP) Expenditures for construction of Pine Camp military reservation were three times the estimated cost, says U. S. Senator Mead (D-NY), head of the Senate national defense investigating committee. "Expenditures on the Pine Camp cantonment," Mead stated Thursday night, "have mounted from the original estimate of $5,635,995 to approximately $16,000,000, due, in part at least, to an unanticipated and unavoidable skyrocketing of costs of materials and supplies, as well as to added construction items. "Of course, we have noticed some deficiencies there and in the national defense system all along the line, but they are not of an alarming nature." "The fact of the matter," he added, "is the personal experience of our committee with them (deficiencies) will equip us and the agencies of the government, we believe, to meet the defects of tomor-iow with more dispatch, and finaly, we hope to eliminate them entirely." The committee is conducting a statewide defense inspection this week.

State Settles 44 Strikes Albany UP) Settlements in 44 of 57 strikes considered by the state board of mediation in August were reported today. Of the 44 disputes, involving 11,377 workers, labor won 14, lost four and compromised 26. STOCK QUOTATIONS i Quotations furnished by Carl M. Loeb, Rhoades 201 First National Bank Building, Ithaca, N.

No run Sundays and Holidays. Much Like U. S. Arcadia, Fla. UP) Chefs at Carl-strom Field here were concerned over British appetites when royal air force cadets arrived for training and were prepared to serve roast beef, kidney pudding and tea.

Instead, they found the youthful Britons preferred about the same foods as husky young Americans and in about the same plentiful quantities with broiled, inch-thick steak, southern fried chicken and coffee topping the list. No longer limited by the food rationing that prevails in their homeland, the boys really go for a plate of golden brown chicken, escalloped potatoes, fresh green peas and green vegetable salad or fish, string beans, French fried potatoes and salad.

The Navy announced that the Surcouf, which was one of a number of French submarines whose crews decided to put in with the British after the fall of France, was in the Portsmouth harbor for repairs under the lend-lease act. Also, the British submarine Parthian was reported at Portsmouth and the British destroyer Burnham, the former U. S. destroyer Aulick, at Boston, both for repairs. The Surcouf is so big that it carries a small airplane along with 8 guns, 10 torpedo tubes and a crew of 150.

It has a cruising radius estimated at 12.000 miles. The ordinary submarine is about half the size of the Surcouf. Defense Threatens Forty Plus Club J. S. BARR CO.
