Action to Follow Labor-1 wdustry | Agreement to Ban Strikes for Duration; Body to Make Recommendations but Will Lack Enforcement Power.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24 (U. P.).—President Roosevelt today was expected to establish a war labor board within a few days to carry out the program for uninterrupted production drafted by his industry-labor conferences. The board of probably nine men may be similar to that of the first World War. It would be authorized to make recommendations but would have ne powers other than public opinion to enforce them. Both labor and industry representatives have pledged that there will be no strikes > lockouts “for any cause”

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24 (U. P).— President Roosevelt and Prime Minister {Winston Churchill continued their discussions last night and to-
It was a good show and then war talks were resumed. It is strictly an Anglo-American meeting so far. But all the Allies are to be kept advised and, presumably, ultimately to join in discussions which will make the White House the actual antiAxis headquarters.
Ours Is Danger Spot The facts developed after 17 days of war with Japan and less than two days of Anglo-American war councilling here are that our own Pacific Ocean is the immediate danger spot to the Allied cause.

P. leaders to bring another test suit on the law were said to have been abandoned yesterday after conferences of Democratic leaders. Democratic leaders indicated they would force a ruling on the validity of the law by contesting the appointments instead of permitting Republican leaders to mandate the judge to act. The law, sponsored by Republicans in the last Legislature, was designed to remove control of registrations from the present Democratic clerks in ‘the larger counties.
Johnson G. O. P. Choice
Under the old law, county clerks named the chief registration clerks and the office was controlled directly by the clerk’s office and the County Election Board. The first test suit on the law was dissolved after a hearing in Rensselaer, Ind, leaving the law in force. Under the new law, county chairmen of each party are required to nominate registration officers for appointment by the Circuit judge. | When the new law became effective last June County G. O. P. Chairman James L. Bradford nominated George K. Johnson as the Republicay, oo registration clerk. It was said that Harry Gasper,
Singapore A Worry, Too One of those who has had opportunity to spend some time with Mr. Churchill said that the principle object of his visit here was to evolve with Mr. Roosevelt plans for defeat of Japan and integration of those plans with the war against our major enemy—Germany. Mr. Churchill's “terrible anxiety” for Singapore scarcely exaggerates uneasiness here over the Philippines. That war theater is understood to be the matter of most immediate concern. So obvious were some of the advantages of more active Soviet Union co-operation in the allied action against Japan in the Pacific that Washingtonians were asking each other “has the Russian been called in yet”—the phrase, changed to fit whatever nation may be intended, being typical capital slang for the head of any diplomatic mission. In Washington, “the Russian” is Ambassador Maxim Litvinov, Beyond that were rumors—no more—that Josef Stalin, premier of the Soviet, would join the parley. But there were 10 bets to 1 against that.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Dec. 24 — “One advantage in being a photographer is that you learn to find your way around in the dark” writes Robert Weatherwax of Bloomington from blacked-out Hawaii. Bacteriology assistant at the University of Hawaii and amateur pho- | tographer, young Weatherwax is the son of Prof. and Mrs. Paul Weatherwax of the Indiana University botany department. He has just written his parents a letter concerning life in war-torn Hawaii. He stresses the fact that everything closes down at 4 p. m. daily in preparation for the long blackout. No bombs have fallen within miles of the university, but precautions are being taken throughout the islands. Mr. Weatherwax was deferred by the draft board so that he might teach in Hawaii. The laboratory at {the school has been taken over for water analysis.
BOY, 12, KILLED IN TRUCK-AUTO CRASH

CHUNGKING, Dec. 21 (Delayed) (U. P.).—A high government spokesman at Kunming, Yunnan Province terminus of China's supply road from Burma, today described American volunteer airmen who shot down four Japanese bombers as “the most efficient combat group in the world today.” The American volunteers, he said, fought off Japanese planes making their first attempt to bomb the Burma Road since the start of the Pacific War. “They downed four fast, heavy bombers without scratching a single defender and prevented hundreds of deaths in Kunming. Their greatest desire, it seems, | is to have more Japanese call on us,” he said.
