Warnes Asks D Drafting Of Defense Strikers

KALAMAZOO, Mich., June 13 (U. P.).—Milo J. Warner, National Commander of the American Legion, last night urged that draft deferments for defense industry workers be cancelled if they go on strike. Mr. Warner told 400 Legionnaires and their guests that the organization was not opposed to the right and privilege of labor to strike but that strikes must ‘not be permitted to hinder the defense program. He advocated : “all-out” aid Great Britain . because “the American- Legion recognizes Hitler and totalitarians - are . distinct . threats. We recognize that totalitarianism and Americanism Sanit live side by side.”
