WAR DESCENDS ON ANXIOUS MAIN STREET

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Specisl Writer

CLEVELAND, Dec. 6-—This industrial midland region, where smoke clouds hang low as over a battlefield, is in the grip of a revolution caused by the enlarging area of conflict in the world, and slowly the people are becoming conscious of it—slowly and vaguely. The war has come to main street. It is changing the life patterns of the “little people” They suddenly have found that the mill or factory where they have earned their daily bread is no longer needed to make pots and pans and stoves and refrigerators and automobiles and the gadgets of modern living, but is constrained by forces far away to turn to the making of shells and guns and parts of tanks and battleships. Many of the little people—who make up most of our world—find that their training and work habits of years are no longer of much use, They've got to learn new trades. Some of them have to move to other efties. Washington descends upon them with a covey of officials and committees, supplemented by local industrial and engineering experts, walking into their lives with charts and blueprints to try to temper the blow of the revolution which sweeps around the world from distant

Europe and Asia,

AND FOR A LONG time Washington will be the directing force of their lives as never before. The revolution will leave something in its wake—just what, it js impossible to tell from this vantage point within the hurricane. For after all this is over, their individual lives will still be affected by decisions in Washington. Somebody in Wash« ington must take up the shock, and do the readjusting. : People are beginning to see they are only pawns. This big city, like others, has been conscious of the hand of Washington for several years now-—in the small army of officials taking orders from Washington, supervising locally the reforms of the New Deal touching the lives of the citizens: The National Labor Relations Board, Social Security Board, WPA, Agricultural Adjust ment Administration, Farm Security, Securities and Exchange Coms« mission, and all the rest. ‘ But all these are now swept into the war effort, and, on top of them, representatives of new agencies are crowding into downtown buildings—SPAB, OPM, OEM, OPACS, War Department, Navy De« partment, all juggled together into a crossword pustle. And the small towns, never very conscious of Washington hitherto except for the presence of a local WPA director, now see commit tees descend upon them week after week, serious-faced gentlemen

THESE INTERVIEW the plant owner and find out what he can do for war, and the workers watch, anxiously, to see what it means for them, and whether they can keep on working, and at what, and wondering-<especially some of the older ones-~if they can learn a new trade and still live in the town, and keep their homes and send their children to school.

The owners and managers of some of the smaller plants which dot this area, who have lived comfortably for years, are just as be fuddled and worried as those who work for them. Some were very slow to catch the drift of war clouds from Europe. Now they are getting frantic. For some are going to lose their businesses, and some are going to live on shorter rations. Hitler's high-pitched voice carries far. Some of the big industrial managers, and some of the smaller ones, are asking each other whether this new dispensation means & new concept of government in which they will lose their identity, in which they will no longer be free agents, but will live constantly under the thumb and at the orders of bureaucrats in Washington and their local agents. You hear much of that speculation here.

is this, then, the end of the sort of, democracy they have known?

THEY WONDER, but they can’t do much about it. And, after all, if they can get some of the business and keep going, it seems futile to ask questions and worry. So they take orders, and leave their speculation to the fireside and the barroom and the groups which gather outside the church after the Sunday sermon and gossip about their little affairs now caught in the clutch of big affairs they cannot understand. The talk used to be of what Congress was doing, and it was all far away and vague and mostly a matter of curiosity and of curbstone opinions not given or taken too seriously. But now they find that what is important’ to their lives are the words and decisions of- what were jokingly called in the early NRA days of the New Deal “the commissars,” the men who now are really important. What Donald Nelson and Leon Henderson and Willlam Knudsen and Sidney Hillman do and think is what counts now. Congress is just a body to ratify, and to write letters to. When a man really gets in trouble and needs help and writes to his Congressman, he gets a letter back saying the matter has been referred to such and such official of this or that news agency.

What does it all mean? The Midwest wonders—but keeps its noses at the grindstone.

And what will follow after?

DELAY LOOMING ON STRIKE BILL

Three Factions in Senate Jockey for Position; Key Tieups Ended.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (UL PD Senate consideration of anti-strike legislation developed today into a three-way race to bring out bills of varying degrees of severity and there was a hint that action might be postponed altogether until Janwary, Leaders of the three major factions jockeved for position and there was no indication of whether the Administration would take a stand, The bills awaiting Senate action were: 1. A House-approved bill by Rep. Howard Smith (D. Va). which was generally believed to be the most drastic. Bars Closed Shep

2. A bill by Senator Joseph H

Ball (R. Minn), to require a mediation period before a strike vote could become effective. 3. A bill by Senator Tom Connally (D. Tex) to authorize Government seizure and operation of strike bound defense plants The Senate Labor Committee, meeting Monday on the Smith bill, is expected to report out the Ball measure as a substitute. ; Chairman Elbert D. Thomas (D | Utah) predicted the Committee would not ask for hearings on| ground sample information was obtained during House consideration Several Senators, ‘however, reported they had been visited by groups of labor representatives who declared the House had voted the Smith measure without hearings. Their statements prompted Sen. ate Republican Leader Charles L. MeNary of Oregon to suggest that all consideration of labor legisia-| tion be postponed until hearings had been heid.

Trend Toward Peace

Meanwhile agreements affecting aluminum, railway and aircraft workers had climaxed a week marked by a trend toward labor peace in defense industries. Although a basic wage dispute remained to be settled, approximately 300 C. I. O. die casters ended a “slowdown” strike at the Aluminum Co. of America plant at Cleveland. Officials of the Bell Aircraft Corp. and the United Automobile Workers (C.1.O) agreed at Washington to submit their dispute to arbitration. Representatives of 350.000 railroad employees in the “Big Five" operating brotherhoods ratified a proposed wage agreement last night at Chicago. The settlement formula | granted the operating employees wage increases of T€ cents daily. Today railway traffic executives

Foundation Sets Up Fund To Train Technician at Rochester Clinic.

The revolutionary method of treating infantile paralysis developed by “Sister Kenney,” which has recently been approved by the American Medical Association, is to be tried in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis announced yesterday that it had allocated funds to finance a six-months’ training period for a technician from the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children at Sister Kenney's clinic at Rochester, Minn. Sister Kenney is a nurse who over a period of 30 years developed a treatment of massage and exercise for paralysis victims. Her results were so satisfactory that last year the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis granted her funds to establish her clinic at the University of Minnesota Medical School. She is now training technicians from all over the country in her technique. The foundation's local fundraising campaign will open Tuesday with a meeting at Riley Hos-
