Miss Gnrie was bom In Brooklyn but was taken back to torway by her parents when only 11 months old. to settle a dispute a* the National Automotive Fibers company plant at Detroit. A strike of United Automdbile Workers tCIOi created an upholstery shortage and forced the Chrysler Corp., to close four plants employing 17.500 men. No defense product km was affected. Union opposition and a reduction in latbor disputes in defense Industries prompted the lower house of congress to kill anti strike amendments attached as "riders" to the draft deferment bill. HITLER BLITZKRIEG < CONTINUBD FROM FAOB ONK) British believed that the pause In operation* was due to one nt three factors or possibly a c<m:i<:nation of the three: German exhaustion after three weeks of hitter fighting; a planned halt for consolidation; Increased Russian opposition. It was felt by tho military sources that if the lltisslans can continue fighting on fairly even terms for a few more weeks they may force the German* into a stalemate which might easily prove diaas trotis for the Wehrmacht. There appears to be no doubt that Germany holms to clean up the Soviet campaign .is speedily as possible and that she would like to turn west again in late summer to deliver a crushing and possibly final blow against Britain, High and excellently informed sources in Ixtndon outlined Rusala's view that the most important single aid Britain can give now is the creation of a new fighting front against Germany, a diversion on a Scale large enough to force the Germans to transfer troops and attention to the west. These sources said that Germany appeared to have switched about 80 percent of the luftwaffe's Ughting strength to the east against

Russians were said to admit that frontier defenses had been penetrated but reported that the Btalln line was holding strongly and that; large Ho*let foreM, pocketed be-1 hind Nasi advance units, are carry-, Ing on the fight, aided by air borne supplies and tank reinforcements sent in through the loose German lines. There appeared to be growing Indltatlnna. however, that the toftwaffe has shifted back to the weet at least some of It* strength to meet the heavy royal air force pounding* which are now being delivered on a 24 honr beat* The latest report on the RAF showed that It made a 7Afc >aur attack during the night on the French channel coast while heavy bombers blasted again at the Rhineland. In these extensive operations only <wo British plane* were reported loot. Nlnce the invasion of Russia started, the RAF has carried out 138 raids against Germany and German-held terrlotry in which 52 different towns |jave been attacked. In the period the British have lost too plane* and the Germans 311, according to air ministry figure*. The ratio of British to German losses has been mounting steadily until they are now almost on a 50-50 hast*. Indicating stiffer Nasi opiKMltlon and more daring and widespread operation* by the RAF. i especially in daylight hours The German high command hau practically nothing to say today concerning operationa against Rua sla. The communique merely repeated the special announcement of last night which claimed completion of mopping up operation* in the Bialystok-Minsk sector In which it was claimed 323.891 prisoners. 3.332 tanks, 1,809 guns were cap-1 tured bringing German total gains to (00.000 prisoners, 8.815 tanks. 4.423 guns and 6.233 plsnes. The action was characterized as "the great Nit battle of material and envelopment In world history.” The war In Syria sputtered along amid charge* and counter-charge*' as to responsibility for its continuance despite armistice move* by l»oth the British and French The British charged that the Vichy government had satmtaged the armistice, presumably at the bidding of the Germans. Vichy claimed that Britain's reply to an armistice request had been delivered only today by the United states embassy. <— — KNOX TO GIVE (CONTINUBD FROM PAGR ONR) day that naval policy in the Atlantic now goe* ireyond the original orders to report sightings of hostile craft to the White House. 3.

In military tactic* " Homers assailed Churchill tor criticizing Wheeler, who recently forecant American occupation of Iceland prior to the official an> nouncement. Romers, who has supported sdmintstrttkm foreign policy, said he resented an attempt by a "foreign sHKeemsn to tell our people what they must do.” Taft, whoae attack drew response from Sen Tom Connally, D.. Tex., foreign relatlona commtiter member. Insisted that the occupation of Iceland nullified the power of congress to declare war. Connally said that an attempt by congress to dictate the movement of troops and naval units would be usurpation of the conttltutkmal right of the president to act aa < ommandar la-chief of the armed forcer. A refusal to aasert Amei lean rights, Connally added, would be a "cowardly policy" becauae "our ancestors, who were much washer than we are, were willing to shed their blood.” NEW ADDITION IN (CONTINURD FROM FACIK ONR) built under the McMillen lender* ship.
