‘We Resent Being Classed With Him,’ Says Shoe 'F Workers’ Leader.

WASHINGTON, June 17 (U. P.). ~Jack 8S. Zucker, spokesman for the C.1.0. United Shoe Workers, told the house small business committee yesterday that John L. Lewis “should ‘be put in jail” but that instead, congress has punished “millions of rank and file workers who ‘have faithfully observed their no strike pledge.” _.Zucker’s criticism of Lewis came when he was asked by Rep. Leon-

ard W. Hall (R.N.Y:) if the C.I1.O.

‘had not attempted to organize small farmers when Lewis was C.1O. i president. “We resent being classed with Mr. Lewis,” Zucker replied. . “You didn’t object.to Mr. Lewis

‘when he was in your organization,” ‘Hall said. “You didn’t think he was such a bad boy then.” “Mr. Lewis became a bad boy when he attempted to knife the na--tion’s war effort,” Zucker said.

Refers to Coal Dispute

He referred to the work stoppages fn the coal mines. Congress passed the anti-strike bill when the coal dispute was at its height. Zucker, objecting to rising living eosts, criticized “proposals in congress backed by the farm bloc and the rest of the profiteering gang to take control of food prices away from the office of price administration.” “To stop inflation, OPA must be strengthened, not weakened,” he said. “Transfer of its food control authority to Food Administrator Chester Davis would lead to the gomplete dismantling of the agency.”

DENIES PEACE TALK

STOCKHOLM, June 17 (U. P.).— Alexandra Kollontay, Russian ambassador to Sweden, said yesterday that reports that she had discussed peace with Nazi representatives were “lies from German quarters.” Madame Kollontay flaily denied a dispatch in the newspaper Allehan..da which said Russian and German representatives had met near ~ Stockholm some time ago to dis-

War Analysis—

INVASION GUN TRIGGERS SET

All Allied Moves + Construed By Strategists as Real Thing.

By CARROLL BINDER

From now until the armed forces of the united nations land in Europe, every development or rumored development is going to be construed by many armchair strategists as the signal gun. Some day some of the prognosticators are going to enjoy the supreme satisfaction of having correctly called the turn. In the meantime there are going to be a great many false interpretations and forecasts which the makers hope will be quickly ‘forgotten, ‘The closing of the 350-mile long Turkish-Syrian frontier officially announced by the British in Ankara is the latest development to set the prognosticators into action,

Is Turkey Route?

To some it means that the 9th and 10th British armies and the large air and naval forces assembled in the Middle East are about to attack the axis from Turkish bases. To others it means that the united nations anticipate an axis attack upon Turkey. Others accept the British version as the true explanation of the border closing, namely that it is ex | merely a means of preventing valution from

in Turkey from which axis agents can relay it to Berlin. That the Middle East will become a major theater of the war in the not too distant future and that Turkey will throw in its lot with the united nations at some stage of the war are among the safest bets which can be made about the war. The dispatches indicate that Turkey is convinced the united nations will win the war and wishes to protect Turkish interests by coming into the war at the appropriate moment. : Say Germans Ready

The discontinuance of German shipments of war materiels and the request that Turkey withdraw its consul from the Aegean island of Mytilene a fortnight ago revealed Germany’s appreciation of the Turkish mood. Turkey's recall of its ambassador and counsellor from Vichy, announced Tuesday, looks like clearing the decks for an eventdal showdown with the axis. Some very shrewd students of the war are inclined to believe that action in the Near East will not come until we are ready to engage the enemy simultaneously in several other places. To them the closing of the Syrian-Turkish frontier, accordingly, is not the starting gun they are eagerly anticiptiang.

Committee ‘Finds Civilian For Every 21/2 Soldiers In Government: Job.

WASHINGTON, June 17 (U. PJ. —The government today stood accused of failing to practice what it preaches with respect to manpower. The joint congressional committee on non-essential expenditures, charging “abuse of power and waste of federal funds,” called for immediate discharge of 300,000 civilian government employees. Sa It reported that 3,008,519 civilians are on the federal payroll—one to every 2% soldiers—and that fewer than 45 per cent of them are engaged in direct war work. That contrasted, the committee said, with the 917,760 civilian employees on the payroll when the last war ended— one to every five soldiers. The government’s civilian payroll has soared from $141,522,234 a month in September, 1939, to $552,700,300 in April of this year.

Recommends Program

+! The committee recommended cessation of all unnecessary “recruiting;” formation of an effective manpower pool; better selectivity in choice of workers, and a war-trans-fer program to shift qualified workers to more essential jobs. The committee said it recognized that additions in personnel were necessary for departments directly engaged in the war effort, but found “no justification for the tremendous expansions” in others,

' “The government,” the report said, “finds itself in the peculiar position of advocating a full laborutilization program within private industry but neglecting the same problem itself. It is imperative that a brake be put’ on worker recruiting. In most cases overstaffing has taken place with resultant waste and duplication of effort.

Charge Inefficiency

“The departments and agencies are solving the problem of inefficient personnel by recruiting

policy is a tacit admission that effective administration is absent and a dilatory and more expensive solution is being used.”

The committee’s report was based on a two-year investigation under the direction of Chairman Harry F. Byrd (D. Va.). Byrd promised another report on “unusual salaries” in the government. The current study, he said, revealed that all agencies “are open to severe censure for unwarranted pay raises,” but the war production board and thee bureau of economic warfare “are the most outstanding.”

employees received raises of $6000 or over per year between Nov. 15, 1940 and Nov. 15, 1942. Two BEW and one WPB employee received in the same period raises of between $5000 and $5999; eight from BEW and six from WPB got raises of at least $4000; 15 from BEW and 18 from WPB got raises of at least $3000; 49 from BEW and 116 from WPB got raises of at least $2000; 61 from BEW and 282 from WPB got raises of at least $1000. The BEW had an average annual wage increase of $2,419.33 per person, the report said, and 28 agencies are paying employes from four to 18 times as much as the average government agency pays. It said that 3.8 per cent of all govgnment workers receive $3800 a year or more, but the office of economic stabilization has 70 per cent of its workers in that category, the reconstruction finance corporation and war production board 26 per cent, and the national housing agency 18 per cent.

ELECTIONS TO END G. A. R. ENCAMPMENT

ELKHART, Ind. June 17 (U. P.). —The 64th annual state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic closes today with the election of officers by the Daughters Union Veterans.

BY EARL RICHERT

UNDER THE DIRECTION of Democratic State Chairman Fred F. Bays, the groundwork is being laid for a draft-Schricker-for-senator movement. through the regular party organization. The: Democratic central committee in the seventh district, Mr. Bays’ home district, has been the first part of the regular organization machinery to make official mention of the governor as a senatorial

candidate.

In a meeting Monday night it Sullivan, the seventh district

committee passed ‘a resolution praising the president and the governor and containing this sentence pertaining to the governor: “We recommend him as worthy of * higher service to his fellow men.” Party leaders present said that by “higher service” they meant “at least” the United States senate. In the back of the minds of the pro-Schricker party leaders, of course, is the possibility that the Indiana governor, the only Democratic chief executive in the Midwest, might be selected as a running mate with President Roosevelt next year. * 8-8

Plan Similar Moves

SIMILAR RESOLUTIONS are scheduled to be passed at other district meetings in the near future. The ninth district meets on July 11 and the sixth district is scheduled to meet within the next few weeks. The same keep-Schricker-in-public-office theme was sounded by the Hoosier Sentinel, official organ of the Democratic state committee, in an editorial last week. , The editorial, which was sent

to all Democratic papers in the

state and printed in many, praised the governor for his role in the recent flood crisis and said: “Here's another reason there is a growing demand that his public service does not end with his term as governor.” ” 8 ”

Leaders Determined

ALL THIS COMING from official branches of the Democratic regular organization is significant. It means that those in control of the Democratic state organization are determined to have the governor, and not the incumbent, Senator Frederick VanNuys, as the party’s senatorial candidate next year when the fight admittedly will be tough. Regular organization leaders are hopeful, of course, that Senator VanNuys will stick to his last campaign statement that he will not seek a third term, and thus keep party harmony. But if he does decide to run again, this group is determined to beat him. They think that the governor would have a much better chance of winning than would Senator VanNuys, whom they often term “the third senator from

Virginia,” since he lives there and

shows such little interest in party affairs here. The governor himself is still

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, North Africa, June 17 (U. P.). — King George VI, inspecting the allied armed might in this theater, has reviewed British ‘and American warships and sea forces, it was disclosed today.
