the effect of that preliminary order against the company. Union leaders meanwhile were very “dissatisfied” over the government’s withdrawal, and warned that more strikes would result unless a new labor agreement was signed immediately. “There can be no stable or peaceful labor relations with this management in the absence of such contractual relations,” Samuel Wolchok, president of local 20 United Retail Wholesale and Department Store Employees union (C. 1. O.), said in a telegram to William H. Davis, chairman of the war labor

that the health department, with the exception of the police and fire forces, employs the largest number of persons—about 800—and is without doubt the most complex of all municipal bureaus. This confusing network of technical, semi-technical and non-tech-nical workers was for the most part originated and developed by Doc Morgan. To the doc, of course, it isn't at all confusing. But it’s safe to say that not many persons bee side himself, know what the health department's. all about. Investigator Assigned Mayor Tyndall has admitted that he doesn't quite understand the functioning of this setup. For that reason he assigned one R. R. Rosenbluth, an agent of the J. L. Jacobs & Co. job survey firm, to delve into the intricacies of Dr. Morgan's department and find out what makes it tick. The Jacobs concern is surveying all municipal departments, but its contract specified that it should probe with special interest the salaries and positions of health board appointees. . The curious health department immunity against outside influence even holds against the ever-watch-ful eye of the state. Much to the dismay of state health officials legislators of the far and near past evidently legislated on the theory [that Indianapolis, with its heavy tax impouring, could easily handle its own public health problems,

One hundred and seventy-three of them, plus 16 out-of-town visitors, packed his office for a news conference — during which he criticized press and radio for not having given what he considered complete accounts of the Mont-
gomery Ward case. - Afterward the United Press
polled a representative group of |
correspondents for their answers to the “How did he look to you?” question. The replies: . William C. Murphy Jr., of Philadelphia Inquirer: “I had a quick glimpse of him and thought he had a good color, but that he looked a little thinner.” : Bert Andrews of the New York Tribune: “I thought he looked good, much better than on April 7 when I thought he looked ghastly. I thought his face was perceptibly thinner, but clearly a lot of lines of care in his face were gone.” John H. Crider of the New York Times: “I thought he looked very much better than I have seen him for many months. His voice .seemed natural, he looked rested and he had a good coat of tan.” * Warren Francis of the Los Angeles Times: “In my estimation he has not rebounded like he has in the past. I didn't think that he came back after a month the way he used to after two weeks or even a week-end, but I really didn’t get a close-up of him.” Dewey Fleming of the Baltimore Sun: “He appeared to be much refreshed, displayed a fine

Reynolds of the Chicago Sun: “His health is apparently pretty good, but his temper definitely very bad. His return this time is quite reminiscent of his return after the first war plant inspection tour in late 1942.” (Reynolds referred to Mr. Roosevelt's news conference at the end of the 1942 swing around the country when the chief executive fired a double-barreled blast at the press and radio in general.) The President was ready for a question about the Montgomery Ward case yesterday. He ruffled a two-page memorandum in front of him and pitched in to mecite its

tory of wars,” he said. “Every pos-|
sible technical invention will be used by the enemy. We will have to face an attack which has been carefully planned, The enemy has calculated with eyery possibility.” However, he said Germany now was “in a permanent state of readiness.” Stockholm "dispatches said Marshal - Erwin Rommel, Germany's anti-invasion commander, had told his forces to “put everything on one card when the allies invade and try to throw them back into the » “We will not allow a position such #8 developed in Italy to occur,” Rommel was quoted as saying. Premier Hubert Pierlot of the Belgian government-in-exile said in a statement on the fourth anniversary of the German invasion of his homeland that Belgium knew “victory is certain and deliverance fear.”
“She knows that her great allies, after having built up the most formidable war machine ever constructed, are. preparing to deal the enemy a mortal blow,” he said. Naval correspondents in London believed that one of Germany's secret weapons to combat the invasion would be a pocket U-boat of extremely limited range but a surface speed approaching that of a torpedo boat.

In the case of Britain, this reasoning has long since been shown to be fallacious. But it was correct enough in the case of the Germans themselves, and this is now being demonstrated. The repeated raids on German urban areas, particularly Berlin,
front morale so near to cracking that although it is the last thing in the world which it desires to do, the Luftwaffe is forced to make an occasional show of resistance against our huge daylight strikes, deliberately sacrificing planes whose loss it knows will be grimly felt a little later. This is so optimistic a theory that it sounds like dangerous wishful thinking, but there seems to be no other which fits the facts as they are presented by American strategic air force leaders.
several hundred of his followers he was very much alive. And this morning he made a pilgrimage of a mile by automobile to visit the shrine of his dead wife at the Aga Khan palace, where Gandhi was imprisoned until last Friday. ‘That Saintly Man’ Visiting the palace this afternoon I talked with Gandhi's chief jailer, Khan Bahadur Kateli, who murmured how grateful he was to have lived 21 months so close to “that saintly man.” Behind the palace on a rocky slope running to the Muthmoola river, the jailers had built two mud platforms for their prisoner.

As a consequence, many of the laws applying to state health department jurisdiction exempt cities of the first class, of which Indianapolis is the lone example in Indiana. Doc Morgan is fully aware of his authoritative position: and more than once has threatened to resign and turn the entire health department shebang over to the politicians whose knowledge of public health matters is hardly scholarly. “I never asked for this job, and I've never asked to be allowed to remain” said the health board secretary who accepted a post with the city when he was a tender 26. Throughout his career, his chief difficulty has been experienced in obtaining funds with which to activate his progressive measures. One of his oft-repeated public health dictums is:
