New Strikes Threatened
Meanwhile, the strike of welders in aircraft factories remained unsettled. Welders in three plants already are on strike and there was a possibility the walkout might spread to six others threatening $3,783.000,000 in defense plane production. Strikers at Tacoma and Les Angeles voted last night.to return to their jobs and accepted a mediation proposal of Associate Director Sidney Hillman of the Office of Production. Management. Spokesmen for striking welders at the Lockheed and Vega Airplane plants in, Burbank, *Cal., and the Consolidated Aircraft Corp. in San Diego said their walkout was 100( per cent | effective although com-
‘pany officials said the strike would
not jeopardize production. , The United = Aircraft Welders Union A (independent) announced that welders in six other airplane factories had offered to join the walkout. A spokesman said the offer had not been accepted but was “under consideration.” The Douglas, North American, Vultee, North‘Top, Ryan and Solar plants would be involved.
More Plants Seized
The War Department, which last Thursday~ gommandeered the -Air Associates, Inc. plant at Bendix, N. J., seized five of the company’s branch plants and two warehouses. A jurisdictional fight involving the A. F. of L. Teamsters and Railway Clerks unions and the Railway Express Agency at Detroit was submitted to the Railway Mediation Board yesterday by the clerks’ organization. Daniel |J. Tobin, Teamsters’ International president, threatened to call a strike in six other cities to enforce the teamsters’ demand for recognition. The Defense Mediation Board askéd C. I. O.

Reports from Russia indicated a more optimistic trend on all the major fronts except the Crimea although there were some indications there of slowing Nazi progress. An authoritative source said the Nazi advance guard in Crimea has now reached the “outer defenses” of Sebastopol, about 20 miles from the Russian.naval base. It appeared, however, that: the
