Haring the past week a. num­ ber of Representatives have taken the Flcor to denounce the anti-American influences responsible for such strikes, and demands .have been voiced, that legislation he enacted to require arbi- tra:ion of labor disputes and to out­ law- stoppage of work in industries vital to nation safety. The problem tha t confronts. Congress is just how to eliminate the radical and subver­ sive elements in the labor movement without taking away or injuring the rig’its and privileges of millions of patriotic workers belonging ,to legiti­ mate labor unions. However, a meth­ od must be found to eliminate the few rotten apples in the barrel lest all the res? be - ruined. Working men who -dove tl|eir.country are being called up­ on to assist in ridding, their labor unions lot those who are attempting to injure the defense program and destroy "this nation through sabotage and subversive efforts. Undoubtedly new laws will soon be passed to deal harshly and promptly with„those who areuringth.e. labor movement for their anti-Americanattacks during the pre­ sent crisis.

SEEKS JUDGMENT Gies, Inc., of Cincinnati, seeks a judgment for $1,045.47 ■in a suit against Jesse W. Jones or the Jones Electric Co., Jamestown, R. B.-1, filed in common pleas court. The judgment represents the value of merchandise which Jones is alleged to have pur­ chased from the plaintiff without pay- ent. Smith, McCallister and Gihney represent the plaintiff firm. The-Dies-Gommittee last week made _a partial report on. its investigation Un-American, activities in connection with the. National Defense Program. Much;pf 4 he material obtained has not yeh-beenpMtde public-but some of the evidepee-that,. has been submitted to the, members of Congress is of such an.astounding.nature as to make most apparent the need for continuing and making-' more thorough the investi­ gation- of the activities of alien and subversive groups within-our bound­ aries. That -the United States 'must tighten up on the supervision and regulation of radicals and aliens can­ not he denied. Incidentally more than three million of the estimated three million six hundred thousand aliens now within, the United States .have been .registered' and, finger printed under the new Alien Registration Act. The registration period is scheduled to close Decembe 26th. According, to "cloak room gossip” it is rather a - cinch bet that Madame .Perkins -will not be a member of the Cabinet during the Roosevelt third term.

There is also con­ siderable sentiment fo r the passage of a Federal sales tax as an aid toward fihfchcing-the National Defense Program* The new eight and a half million dollar 1 aeronautical engine testing lab­ oratory, for which ^Springfield made and exceptionally strong bid, will he located a t .Cleveland, according to a recent, announcement from the Na­ tional Advisory Committee for Aero­ nautics. Springfield city officials had offered the use of Its municipally own­ ed airport and local business leaders had pledged themselves to furnish any additional land needed. While the Strategic location of Springfield, as’ well as the community; spirit and gen­ erous offer of the airfield and adjoin­ ing land, kept the Clark County met­ ropolis under consideration until the vary last fo r reasons best known to themselves, the Advisory Committee .finally voted unanimously in favor of the Cleveland; air site -adjoining the great municipal airport of the north- ‘ern OWe city. Despite recent publicity to the. con­ trary, neither Congress nor the Ad­ ministration is yet ready to repeal the Johnson Act against extending credit to debtor foreign nations, or to amend the Neutrality Act, so a* to permit American loan* to Great Britain.
