STRIKES A formula I 1 ever since president Roosevel ts fireside chat the nation had been waiting for a strike prevention formula realizing that in the presidential speech there had been a definite pledge to halt defense work stop pa gesin labor disputes it remained forthe strike at north american plant at ingle wood calif where men engaged in building in warplanes war planes to provide the answer and the united states to wonder what kind of an answer it was swiftly methodically the troops moved in and took over the plant began beian weeding out the unions labor leaders inspected even i the contents of lunch boxes of bf returning workers and put tho the plant back into production within two i days that were reported io be 1 apar approaching caching normal within 24 hours planes were rolling oft off assembly lines into test flights and on the surface all was apparently apparent li well but observers began asking themselves questions during the next few days when trouble of various types began to appe appear aroot not at north american avi aviation tion but ut at other plants several things bothered people who were wondering whether the fuse use of soldiers to take over plants would bei be a workable system of strike ending some wondered if perhaps the strikers at inglewood ginglewood Ing lewood abit a bit too willing to have the plant taken staken over others wondered wonder edif if perhaps pie strikers demand of the government that the pay a be raised to 87 cents an hour or 12 cents achour m more ore th anthey were asking of private industry and the same wage that the government they claimed was now paying worker similar skill in similar jobs the tinion leaders were equipping men with signs reading hold out i and remember the army cant moke planes their pleas

pink that there were communists in tho the CIO but that it was not proven that it was communist controlled or not then came a wide serious series of defense or partial defense labor troubles most of them involving one branch or another of the CIO Alaba mas representative starnes active head of the dies body promptly made public that each of the striking unions had a communist or an ex cx as its active leader in the aircraft industry chairman of the aircraft division who had called the inglewood ginglewood Ing lewood strike outlaw wildcat and unauthorized found hini himself self placard ed in

unchecked into the chief and most important parts of syrian territory chief work W aik oik of defense was being done by nazi warplanes war planes said to be based on northern syrian airdromes aird romes like aleppo principal air center of the country britain was not referring in her dispatches to the syrian advance as a victory victori but was wasa rather regarding ita simply a tant move move to circumvent an expected german move or at least to meet it on a battleground farther removed from palestine and iraq oil fields it was obvious that the big syrian airfields were the prime and that it if britain could get hold oi of them and defend therewith them thern with resident assistance a good battle might be put up on syrian soil and protect the backdoor entrance to suez and alexandria but the th e serious resistance near the coastline and in southwestern S syria y ria made it look as though brit ains success in this objective would not be won without a good deal of fighting in

seriously since the time he took over leadership of the war effort of britain churchill found himself on the spot mccau because e of the crete mishap and words flew bitterly around commons and ori on

the C churchill hur chill government was a flop at handling the war criticism of churchill was far 1 less es s bitter than that ahat which was directed at chamberlain but it was still far stronger than anything which had ad previously been leveled at him much of it came from leslie hore hie berisha belosha deposed mini minister of war and churchill turned anthis former cabinet member and practically told him to hold his tongue and to recall that the war ministry was in a lamentable conditto condition n when he laid it down summing up the crete disaster he laid it to inadequate control of the air said the battle was worth haying fought that it cost the germans a major effort and resulted in the loss of men and planes not to mention many surface ships answering the why of not enough
