DEFENSE
ORDERS TO BE
11110FD OUT
— Soldiers End Labor Con-
troyersy Which Threat
ened Walkout To Protect
Workers
BENDIX N J Oct 31--WP)
—Reaular army men under orders
of their commander - in - chief
President Roosevelt quietly seized
the Air Associate s inc plant to-
day and Col Roy M Jones in
charge announced that it NILS
ready to proceed with defense
orders totaling $5000000 tM)
The soldiers ended for once and
all a protracted involved labor
controversy which had threatened
tt") caase a sympathy walkout of
every CIO member in the east
Pour platoons wearing steel
helmets and carrying loaded rifles
to which bayonets were not af-
fixed surrounded the plant a
platoon to each side
- Strikers and workers had
been ordered to go home before
the troops arrived and there
Was no demonstration'
- There were 37 truckloads of
troops in all but Col Jones
ordered the others to remain
with trucks for the time being
He said Edward F McGrady
speci1 assistant in charge of
labor to under secretary of war
Robert Patterson would arrived
this morning
- Col Jones isued a formal state-
- meat that he had taken over the I
plant and its activities in the
name of the government and by
authority of Mr Roosevelt
"My instructions from Wash-
ington are to immediately take
all steps necessary to protect
workers entering the plant leav-
ing the plant and if 'necessary'
In their homes and to take such
other measures as may be nec-
essary in the interests of nation-
al defense" he said
"Effective Immediately the
plant will be open for work under
government control Employes !
desiring to return to their jobs
will be given all necessary pro-
tection to insure free and safe
entrance to and from the factory
"Under government control
no employe of the plant will be
coerced or intimidated to return
or to remain in the plant At
the same tituessand to the ex-
tent 'possible ds4er the law no
persons or organization shall be
permitted Co coerce or intimi-
date any individual who desires
to return to work and to con-
tinue work nor will any action
calculated to hinder delay or
endanger national defense in
the plant be tolerated"
Mr Roosevelt directed secretary
of war henry Stimson to operate
the plant uninterruptedly Stim-
son in turn appointed Col Jones
to run the plant with Mae Peter
Beasley of the Air Corps and Maj!
Carl Bendetson of the Judge Ad-
vocate general's office as his as-
sistants Within 10 minutes after Presi-
dent Roosevelt had issued his or-
der Stimson ordered the troops
to move regulars because they
are considered steadier than draf-
tees and less likely to use more
force than necessary
The controversy between the
Unite Automobile Workers tCIOl
and the company has caused in-
termittent strikes since July 14
when the 'UAW won a collective
bargaining election supervised by
the labor board only to discover
&arged that Air Associates
would not bargain
There have been three strikes
in 13 weeks and at least two
instanees of violence The
trouble had been acute since
Sept' 30 when the union an-
nounced it was determined to
get its demands including high-
er wages and a closed shop
Federal conciliators the New
Jersey state board of mediation
and the labor division of the of-
fice of production management
failed in succession to settle it
Finally the war department un-
dertook to find a solution and on
Sept 19 William S Knudsen as-
sociate director of the OPM and
under secretary of war Robert
l'atterson imitounced that the
management had agreed to re-
instate the strikers—about 75-1
in their former jobs with the
same pay as soon as possible'
while the controversy was medi-
tacit
llowever when the strikers
vent to get their jobs they
charged that they were given the
"most onerous" work In the plant
and although many had been
vorking GO hours a week and paid
for 20 hours overtime they were
put on regular 40-hour a week
shifts
This caused another walkout'
and F Le Roy Hill president of I
the corporation announced that
he was not going to fire men he
had hired to take the jobs of the
strikers and the strikers would
have to wait until the positions
weer oiwn
Contending the company had
violated its agreement to re-
turn to the strikers their for-
mer Jobs and pay Patterson
yesterday sent Colonel Jones
and Maj Peter Beasley to the
plant to see that the men got
their old jobs
Twenty-six strikers were order-
ed to report to their former night
shifts and the officers began
checking the strikers who had

but all were under the impression
!that one or both motors were

roar was accelerated as though
I the pilot was attempting either
Ito get more power from them or
was merely keeping plane on
an even keel while looking for a
'place to land All witnesses notic-

I was only 200 yards away when It
happened—which flew the- ma-

Police and members of the Royal

SYNOPSIS
While strolling along the countrysides-Ambrose
Pennyfeather a
respected citizen of Weyland Eng-
land is murdered by a man who
seoke with a French accent In the
nearby residence of -Lord George
Lanchester the latter and his
brother Yves BlaydesSteele dis-
cuss the murder of their friend
wha Pnever had an enemy in the
world" Then balk turns to the
mission Yves is to perform for his
brother the next day In the year
183S thethen Earl of Lanchester
deposed the tyrannical Dwan of
the Island of Sulungu and seated
the latter's cousin Prince Thalan
on the throne For this Queen
Victoria honored Lanchester with
the mission of presenting a pre
cious emerald to the new sultan
each year The Dwan conferred
upon Lord Lanchester the "Hon-
our of the Emerald" and from that
time on the Blaydes-Steele family
became a link between the Imperial
House of England and the ruling
monarch of Sulungu There were
now 101 jewels in the necklace In
recent years the Dwan had come
to England to have the new emer-
ald added to the chin This Yves
was to do the next day There was
a prophesy that "he who wore the
necklace wore also the diadem"
The prieeleas string now assumed
international importance since Su-
langu loomed as a strategically lo-
cated submarine base and Japan
was nearby Besides oil had been
discovered there The little island
therefore was of inestimable value
to Great Britain The Weyland po
lice are unable to solve the Penny-
feather murder so Yves enlists the
aid of Sir John Meredith former
Superintendent of Scotland Yard
when the latter accompanies him
to Paddock Wood where the DIVin
of Sulungu resides
CHAPTER FIVE
"Tell me a little bit about Penny
fenther"
For the remainder of the drive
Yves talked and John listened At
the conclusion of the long reSUnie
of Pennyfeather's life Mersdith
shook his head and said "You tell
me that Pennsfeather had no ene
