The skirmish then maneuvered in another direction with Mr, Remy accusing Mr. Blue of neglecting to prosecute burglaries, robberies and other offenses to the limit of his ability. The safety board president, armed with a volume of police records, cited cases in which he charged Mr. Blue had failed to act on “obvious” evidence supplied to him by the police department and had consequently failed to obtain strong convictions. ‘No Use Kidding’

“There is no use kidding ourselves about this thing,” declared Prosecutor Blue. “Whenever we decline to sign ‘warrants and issue affidavits, it's because police evidence in the cases was obtained illegally. ...” “That's your contention, not ours,” exclaimed Mr. Remy, who then launched into a tirade over “the general laxity in following up

and prosecuting cases investigated!

and prepared by the police department.” “If we discount statements obtained by police investigators, you can bet that they failed to contain any direct evidence of law violation,” said Mr. Blue. . “We have to go by the exact statute.”

FOR MAY EASE DRAFT REVIEWS

Officials Fear Harmful Effect on Production Of Arms.

(Continued From Page One)

ferment policy was revealed last week when the WPB got only seven out of some 250 deferments requested for key employees. It was reported after yesterday's meeting that Nelson and McNutt told the President that draft board ‘misinterpretation of his review order was causing a grave threat to production. Local boards were said to have interpreted it to mean they should push workers out ahead of fathers, and to have ordered wholesale and indiscriminate cancella(tions of occupational deferments.

Fewer Federal Requests

Government agencies have joined ‘in the drive to free more men- for {the armed services by limiting re{quests for deferments. The war department was understood to have decided to end all deferments for male employees in the 18-21-age | category and all but a few hundred in the 22-25 bracket, which includes 8500 men. The acute stage of the military manpower problem was reflected {two weeks ago when Mr. Roosevelt idisclosed that the army alone was more than 200,000 men- behind its authorized goal because draft boards were not meeting quotas. The difficulties have been multiplied by the fact that the boards are now calling up men in the higher age brackets where the rejection rate is considerably higher. Hopes of easing the father draft by inducting large numbers of men now in 4-F were dashed by a special

_|presidential medical commission

which found that physical standards cannot be lowered without burting efficiency of the armed forces.

WASHINGTON, March 14 (U. P.).—Secretary of State Cordell Hull today indorsed steps being taken by Great Britain to isolate axis spies in Eire as being in line with this country’s determination to save the lives of allied soldiers.

Churchill sald it was painful for Britain to take restrictive measures against Eire because of the “large number of Irishmen who are fight ing so bravely in our armed forces and the many deeds of personal heroism by which they have kept alive the martial honor of the Irish race.” “No one, I think, can reproach us for precipitancy,” Churchill said. “No nation in the world would have been so patient. In view, however, of the fact that both British and Dominion lives and the lives of the soldiers of our allies are imperilled, we are bound to do our utmost effective security for forthcoming operations. “The British government would also be held accountable to the people of the United States if it could be shown that we had in any way failed to do everything in our power to safeguard their troops.” Prof. Douglas L, Savory of Belfast, Conservative, called attention to_the fact that Eire still legally was a member of the British com-

good unions as well as out of bad ‘unions. Who's going to care? If the public wants you socked, why, socked you will be. And don't think that you can duck any of it by yelling “antilabor” and “reactionary” and “Fascist.” We didn't escape any blows coming our way by yelling “anti-business” and “bureaucrat” and “Communist.” You can’t stop hell with voéabulary, When the devil is after you the only recipe is repentance and works. So how about a few good works?

Seven Deadly Sins

Let's take a look at seven deadly sins in a spirit of frank helpfulness and with full recognition that they do not apply to all unions and all management or at all times. Sin one. Arbitrary refusals to accept workers into membership. This can Be a most devastating sin, shop contract, a refusal of membership means that the worker is deprived of his livelihood. That is intolerable. These refusals of membership take many forms. Sometimes a man is refused by putting the initiation fee so high that he cannot pay it. Sometimes he is re-

“work permit,” under which he can work for a while but is never admitted to the union's permanent benefits. Sometimes he is refused by being shunted into an “auxiliary” local or -a& ‘‘subordinate” local where he is obliged to pay dues but gets no chance to share in electing the union's officers or in

All these refusals of membership are designed to create a monopoly of jobs: for the workers who al= ready possess the privilege of union membership. How popular do you think the idea of monopoly is with the American people? Gentlemen of management, youl tell them. You know the answer out of private behavior and pub= lic experience, Did you ever hear of monopolistic practices in busi ness? Did you ever hear of cute

competitors from getting into your industry? Did you ever hear a business man shout himself hoarse in favor of “free enterprise” and then squawk and squall just as soon as the anti-trust division puts him on the fire for frying to destroy freedom in his own industry by means of fixing prices? Gentlemen of management, monopolistic practices have helped to make us unpopular, Monopo= listic practices are now helping to make organized labor unpopular, Gentlemen of labor and gentlemen of management, when we wash our hands, the right hand ‘washes the left and the left the right. How about a little joint hand-washing to cleanse both sets of hands of monopolistic prace tices? It wouldn’t be a bad idea, in case you both want to get in right with the American people.
