3 LABOR BOARD AIDS QUIT POSTS

Others Expected to Follow As Protest Against Naming of Mlis.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt's nomination of Harry A. Millis to membership on the National Labor Relations Board appeared today to presage a sweeping shakeup among the Board's top officials and adoption of more conservative policies. . Within a few hours after Mr. Roosevelt sent Mr. Millis’ nomination to the Senate yesterday, three key Labor Board officials resigned because the President did not reappoint Mr, Madden. Other resignations were expected. It was felt that Mr, Millis probably would team with board member William M. Leiserson in a new and more conservative majority. This would make member Edwin &. Smith, who with Mr. Madden had

DOWNEY, Cal, Nov. 18 (U. P..

—The United Automobile Workers’

Union officials said that the next

representatives would make no attempt to confer with company ne-

il gotiators unless the C. I. O. execu- :| tive committee ordered them to do

so, or unless the company capitulated or indicated willingness to bargain on the pasis of a higher wage. This statement was in contradiction to reports last night that two Federal conciliators were conferring secretly with company and union negotiators.

The National Defense Commis< sion, which had threatened to take “vigorous” action, the War Department and the U. 8. Conciliation Commissioner in Los Angeles were working for a quick settlement, but their moves were not disclosed. The strike, which ‘began early yesterday, had closed the | plant, and interrupted the manufacture of $80,000,000 worth of war planes tor the United States, Great Britain and South American countries. Pickets were guarding the huge plant closely today,

At the bottom of the dispute was the union’s demand for a mihimum hourly wage of 75 cents, instead of 50 cents. Union and Vultee repre= sentatives had been negotiating for more than two months before the walkout finally was called.

The company, which charged that it was being used by the union as a “guinea pig” in a drive to organize the entire aircraft industry in southern California, said early today that its officials still were in the plant/‘ready and willing to meet with the union.”

Company Asks Arbitration

L. H. Michener, regional director of the union's aircraft division, said he felt that Vultee, insisting upon arbitrating on the basis of 50 cents an hour, was willing to make an

WHITE OPPOSED TO U.S. ENTRY IN WAR

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 (U. P).— William Allen White, national chairman of the Committee to Defend America ‘by Aiding the Allies, said today that he believed the United States can give greater aid to Britain by maintaining her present neutral status than by declaring war on Germany. Such a declaration, he said, might give Britain a moral shot in the arm but it would also make more difficult the sending of aid overseas. - He said he did not believe materials should be sold to Britain on credit since ‘they have things to trade with, such as air bases.” Another objective of his committee he added, is to “fight appezasement.”

not likely to give Japan trustworthy assurances that would limit Russia's Far Eastern expansion if new opportunities arose. The Communist regime in Moscow, like the old Czarist regime, pever has forgotten the defeat of the Russo-Japanese war. It would be foolish for the Japanese to believe that the Slavs foster no hope of eventually trying to redress that balance aganist them. The Muscovites are strict realists. They know that the new Triple AlJiance signed by Germany, Italy and Japan makes it not impossible for the Axis powers to inveigle the Japanese into the European war. Despite Japanese caution, uncertainty regarding Japan's eventual position must be taken into consideration at Moscow. It is beyond belief that Stalin would, so tie his own hands in advance as to give Japan acceptable guarantees of immunity if the Japanese became seriously weakened py war. Russia will reserve the right, secretly or otherwise, to expand her own interests in the Orient if the Japanese permit themselves to become victims of the Triple Alliance. * - Although it suddenly has become the correct diplomatic procedure in many capitals to ignore the Communist character of the Russian government, Moscow certainly has not foregone the desire to spread communism in other countries. The Russians have long regarded the Orient as among the most potentially fertile fields for communistic expansion. Japan has opposed the Communist sweep eastward for years by every means in her power and must continue to do so if her own national structure is to endure on its present advantageous basis. Russia, however, is surely watching Japan's war moves wtih the hope that overambition may make the Japanese a belligerent in a Pacific Ocean conflict, at the end of which a Communist push in Tokyo might become possible. The Japanese, know that in the uncertain future, Russia may become involved in the European struggle for power. If that were to happen, Russia would become so weakened in the Orient that the Japanese would be able to strengthen their hold on Northeastern Asia and eliminate communism in that area at Rfssia’s expense. Just as the Russians cannot be

By RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent LYONS, France, Nov. 16.—An old woman sat quietly in a corner of the railroad station. She said she had twice been French and twice German. She was one of thousands of French of Lorraine Province who had been rounded up by German troops, herded into freight trains and shunted across the inter-zone boundary into unoccupied France. They had been given their choice of going to Poland or coming to what is left of France after the 1940 armistice. The woman's story was typical of Lorraine, She was born before 1870, thus French. After the FrancoPrussian war, from 1871 to 1918, she was a German citizen and had to learn the German I . Then in 1918, with the help of American doughboys, France again won Lor‘raine and she became French again. When the 1940 armistice was signed she became German again. But she

That has been so since the Russo-Japanese war and no words written into any kind of pact can change the fundamentals of the situation existing between them. Even if Russia and Japan were to agree to define mutual spheres of influence in China, inherent rivalry would still remain. The two coun=tries do not trust each other. Communism makes any kind of trust precarious, at best. The Japanese know this to be true and Russia can never overcome that feeling, as long as communism reigns in Moscow.

If wars are fought for ideals, we certainly know where we stand.” He isn’t afraid that volunteering for the first draft will make him first over the top, if war should come. “If war comes,” he reasons, “we'll all be in it.” Another thing that influenced Mr. Tobin to volunteer was the drawing of a fairly low number in the lottery—1970. He figured that he might be drafted a year or so from. now and that it probably would be best to go and get back.

Six trainloads of Lorrainers came into Lyons, part of an advance guard of thousands who may be forced from their homes unless a French government protest to the German armistice commission effective. : They carried their fortunes in their pockets and their belongings in single, bulging suitcases.
