Under the auspices aus-pices of the National Conference Confer-ence of Christians and Jews, these leaders merged theif own very diverse political, social, and religious backgrounds back-grounds in an eloquent plea for toleration and under standing. Confusion and division have been definitely and consciously conscious-ly used as weapons by the Nazis. The trick of fomenting foment-ing racial and religious divis-. ions in opposing countries, thus robbing them of their strength, has been exposed again and again. Forewarned is forearmed. Don't fall for it. Let every citizen guard his own tongue, and squelch the peddlers of hate. Then it won't work in America. Another of the defense sacrifices that we face without with-out undue concern in an expected ex-pected shortage of those twisted wire coat hangers. If all the wire coat hangers cluttering the closets of American homes could be collected, col-lected, straightened out, and laid end to end, it would be a good idea. No doubt if the closet - cluttering wirework could be assembled and re-melted re-melted into new steel it would ,be sufficient to build '489 tanks, 16 battleships, 25 cruisers, and a Swiss watch.

Corcoran, now as enterprising at lobbying as he once was at Brain Trusting, got five Supreme Court justices to back him for the solicitor solic-itor generalship. But it is a secret sec-ret as to who these five justices At the top of the list, in the opinion of almost every Washington Wash-ington observer, was Justice Felix Frankfurter, under whom Tommy the Cork studied at Harvard Law School. It was Frankfurter who helped Tommy get his first and most prized job as secretary to the late great Justice Oliver Wendell Wen-dell Holmes. And it was Frankfurter Frank-furter who had placed, through Tommy, many young lawyers on the federal payroll so many, in fact, that they have come to be known as the Frankfurter boys or the Hot-Dog Club. In turn Tom Corcoran was very instrumental in putting Felix Frankfurter on the supreme court. Therefore it was natural to suppose sup-pose that Justice Frankfurter now would go to bat for his old pupil to be solicitor general. However, Frankfurter did not (Continued on Page Two) Ex-State Senator Dies in Sigurd SIGURD, Utah, Sept." 29 UJ? Funeral services will be held Tuesday for Reuben W.

( Testifying on the administra tion's proposed price control bill before the house banking committee, commit-tee, Eccles implied the suggested legislation which does not attempt at-tempt to curb wages does not go far enough. Strikes Intolerable-Other Intolerable-Other administration spokesmen have opposed wage and stringent agricultural price controls at this time. The administration "bill would prohibit the fixing of farm prices at less than 110 per cent of parity. Eccles told the committee all strikes are "intolerable in times of national peril," since the normal nor-mal national economy, as well as the defense program, requires fuU utilization of the nation's manpower. man-power. "If congress fails to enact adequate ade-quate tax legislation, particularly corporate and individual income r tax s wen as cisr taxertai scarcity goods, and if we le&ve the credit doors wide open, the only alternative is to widen continually con-tinually the area to which direct control must be applied if we are to avoid runaway - inflation," Eccles said. "You cannot leave wages and salaries which are the main factor fac-tor in prices to rise indiscriminately indiscrimin-ately and be realistic about preventing pre-venting inflation. You cannot, in my judgment, realistically put a high level floor under farm prices and no ceiling." In discussing the possibility the 40-hour week may have to be extended ex-tended to 48, Eccles said: "I am not saying that we are ready for it at this moment. But it does seem that during this period of the emergency a suspension sus-pension of the 40-hour week might be advisable. "It seems to me that with shortages in many categories, and with the threat of inflation upon us, that purely as a temporary tem-porary matter a suspending of the 40-hour week might be advisable." advis-able." Eccles made the statement in response to a question by Chairman Chair-man Henry B. Steagall, D., Ala., who asked whether the pending legislation should "set aside any benefits to agriculture or labor in legislation already enacted which represents the legislative purpose of congress.

S. bureau of immigration, recommended recom-mended today that Harry R. Bridges, California CIO' director, be' deported to his native Australia as, an undesirable alien. Albert Del Guercio," Immigration bureau attorney, announced Sears' recommendation, which , was .based on an 11-week deportation hearing held here from March 31 to June 12 " this year. The government charged Bridges affiliated and cooperated, co-operated, with the Communist party and other subversive groups during his 21-year residence as an alien in the United States. Sears, a retired New York state jurist called in for the Bridges case, not only recom mended Bridges deportation but also turned down a motion by Bridges attorney for reopening of the hearing. Sears' recommendation for sending Bridges back to Australia Aus-tralia was presented U. S. Attorney Attor-ney General Francis Biddle in Washington. Biddle has two courses to fol low. He can submit the recom mendation to a special board of review or he can act on it -himself, He was not bound to follow Sears recommendation for deportation. In event Biddle accepts the Sears recommendation, and de cides to act himself, the attorney general will issue a warrant .for Bridges arrest. tThe labor leader, who came to this country from Australia in 1921, will then be released re-leased on bail pending actual de portation.

The mining industry in 1940 had the biggest severity accident rate of 31 industries listed by the national na-tional safety council, and ranked 30th in frequency of accidents, Richardson said. " It is logical to assume, he said, that, a large percentage of those men killed and injured in the industry in-dustry .were skilled miners, tlm-bermen, tlm-bermen, trackmen, slusher operators opera-tors and haulage men. Those men cannot be easily replaced," re-placed," said Richardson. "Our industry trained too few men 'to fill these jobs during the past 10 years with a consequence we have no reservoir to draw upon during thse critical days. : Whenever: we are forced to replace experience with inexperience, we are materially materi-ally increasing our accident hazard and by the same token, lowering our ultimate efficiency." -The mining congress, V which opened Its 8th annual convention and exposition here today, contin ues through Thursday with field trips to noted minincr recrions f ol- lowing. ROUE CLAIMS SINKING OF CONVOY SHIPS Nazi - Dominated Countries-Seething With -Unrest, Report ' . , By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor Italy suffered the heaviest British air bombardment of the war last night, but Rome countered today with claims of a great air victory over British sea forces in the Mediterranean. An official communique and Fascist press reports asserted three British cruisers and three merchant transports were sunk in the Mediteranean battle, and that four, warships, including a battleship battle-ship believed to be the 33,950-ton dreadnaught Nelson, were damaged. dam-aged. The convoy, said Rome, was believed to be moving American war materials from Gibraltar to the middle eastern front when it was attacked for 10 hours Satur day by Italian warplanes and. briefly, by Italian naval craft. . The Italian story was that a battleship, thought to be the Nelson, Nel-son, was struck on the prow by a torpedo aimed by an airplane, and that the ship's speed and that of . the whole convoy, had dropped to about 10 knots, indicating serious seri-ous damage. . i--v; The spread of unrest in Nazi dominated Europe was highlighted highlight-ed by a London report, and confirmed con-firmed by Berlin, that six Czechs, including two Czech generals, already al-ready have been executed under, thestefn new" gestapo order applied ap-plied to Bohemia and Moravia. The British air attack on Italy ranged from the northern Indus-trail Indus-trail centers of Turin and' Genoa to the big air bases on. Sicily in the south. It coincided with British Brit-ish reports of Italian -stirrings against new edicts which indicate that many Italians . will be . cold and hungry this winter. ' . ..
