‘wedges between groups, those who seek to revive old antagonisms, {those who seek to weaken our na[tional war effort by spreading [suspicion and distrusts, are to be silenced once and for all for the duration.”

Mr. Murray and Mr. Green insisted that the issue of speeding war production was not involved in the present fight to suspend the payment of time-and-a-half for work in excess of 40 hours a week.

Statistics Cited They cited labor department statistics showing that seven out of 10 war workers are now on a 48-hour week schedule. Both union chiefs argued that the

interest to members was pending. The fate of the Smith bill still was uncertain, but it looked more and more as though house action would be postponed, at least, until after a proposed Easter recess.

Singapore Greatest Disaster

British communiques from New Delhi acknowledged that the -situation was serious on both fronts although not hopeless. Speaking in London at the annual meeting of the Central Council of Unionist Associations, Mr. Churchill said that “the battle of the Atlantic after turning markedly in our favor for five or six months has now for the time being worsened again.” “Singapore,” he said gravely, “has been the scene of the greatest disaster to British arms which our history records.” Detailing military misfortunes since a year ago Mr. Churchill listed

Japs Assail Stalin .

Attention was directed to the likelihood of a Japanese attack on Siberia this spring by an article in the Japanese army hewspaper Sin Shun-Pao, published at Shanghai. The article warned that Premier Josef Stalin is temporizing in making ostensible concessions to Japan and that Japan must be on its guard against Russian policy of delay, Frank Hewlett, United Press staff correspondent with Maj. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright on Bataan, reported that Japan hurled the biggest bombing attack of the war at Corregidor two days ago but the American fortress came through virtually unscathed.
