TIGHTER POST-WAR
PEACE PLAN ASKED
Bloom Appeals For Prompt
Action On World Col
laboration Measure
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18—CP>—
Fresh moves developed in con
gress today for a more stringent
post-war policy resolution that
would require United Nations ac
tion to set up a world organiza
tion with military powers to sup
press future aggression.
Appealing to the senate for
prompt action on the post-war col
laboration measure, Chairman
Bloom iD-NY) of the House For-1
eign Affairs committee declared |
that congress in 1910 took a ''far'
stronger” stand for outlawing war
than the proposal presently con
templated.
Simultaneously, a senate bloc
assailed the post-war resolution
approved by a senate foreign re
lations subcommittee as “vague
in its commitments.” and proposed
alteration of a section which ad
vises “that the United States, act
ing through its constitutional pro
cesses, join with free and sov
ereign nations in the establish
ment and maintenance of inter
national authority with power to
prevent aggression and to pre
serve the peace of the world.”
The group's proposed substitute
aHvnr? •
"That the United States, acting
through its constitutional process
es. join with the other United
Nations in the establishment ancf
maintenance of an international
organization to promote coopera
tion among nations, with author
ity to settle international disputes
peacefully and with power, includ
ing military force, to suppress
military aggression and to pre
serve the peace of the world.”
The group, led by Senators Ball
(R-Minn), Burton (R-Ohio), Hill
(D-Ala) and Hatch (D-NM), said
this amendment would be per
mitted to the full foreign relations
committee at a meeting Tuesday.
Senators Pepper fD-Fla), Bridges
(R-NHi and Maybank (D-SC) who
aided in drafting the amendment,
said Senators Ferguson (R-Mich),
Mead tD-NYi and Guffey (D-Pa)
had subscribed to the proposal.
Ball told reporters the group
want the words “free and sov
ereign nations” eliminated be
cause it was felt their insertion
■n the resolution prepared under
the direction of Chairman Con
v-iily tD-Tex) of the Foreign Re
lations committee, “can only be
interpreted as a limitation on the
parent authority.”

Rumanian fields, to which the

other main natural source avail

about eight per cent. The long

EXPANSION HALTED
U. S. EIGHTH AIR FORCE
BOMBER COMMAND HEAD
QUARTERS IN BRITAIN, Oct. 16
—UP)—The Allies’ aerial invasion
from Britain has brought to a
standstill the German air force’s
expansion through new produc
tion, Brig. Gen. Frederick L.
Anderson, chief of the American
bomber command in Britain, said
today, but he added that the
final, critical blows against Ger
many’s war effort are still some
distance off.
The attack on the German air
force has been aimed at Nazi air
plane plants, notably by a long
series of precision attacks by
American daylight bombers drop
ping at one blow as much high
explosive as could be shot by a
battery of 18,000 ten-inch guns.
“You’ve got to tear down the
wall to get at the apple,” Gen.
Anderson explained in discussing
the air campaign against Germany.
“Our aim is to get the German
air force out of the wav first ”

foreign minislers, for whom liv

ready prepared, although the dele
gates have not yet arrived.
'The exact date of the confer
ence has not been announced.)
Izvestia, as did the official Com
munist party organ Pravda earlier
this week, insisted that military
questions must come before other
problems at the parley.
“Undoubtedly,” said the paper,
“the question of a decisive reduc
tion in the length of the war and
of victory in the shortest pos
sible time is tied up inseparably
with the problem of opening a
second front in western Europe.”
Although Pravda had said that
Soviet frontiers or the status of
the Baltic states could not be
discussed, Izvestia did not men
tion these points, and the tone of
today’s article was generally op
timistic nnd conciliatory.
Izvestia emphasized the Soviet
point of view that the most im
portant immediate issue is "to
cut down the length of the war.”
This has become the most popu
lar current slogan of the Soviet
press.
“Of course,” said Izvestia,
“questions of post-war organiza
tion are very important to the
Allied countries, and it is neces
sary even now in a period of war
to prepare and settle many eco
nomic and political problems.
“But events follow their own
logic. The peaceful period is pre
ceded by more or less coordinat
ed conduct and the conclusion of
the war. Solution of post-war prob
lems can be successful provided
everything is done in war-time
political and economic relations
lor the hastening of this post-war
period.
"When there is agreement upon
first-hand problems in the course
of the war, the easier it is to
decide the rest of the necessary
questions.”

the original Kathay, an extreme
clipper ship of 1,123 tons, which
was built by Jacob A. Wester
velt, New York, in 1853 for Good
hue & Co. of New York. She was
under construction, June 18, 1853,
on which day the clipper ship
Sweepstakes was launched along
side. The latter careened, break
ing stagings along the Kathay,
which precipitated many specta
tors into the water, but fortu

on Aug. 11, 1855, but the prevail
ing temperature having melted the
tallow” betw'een the ways, the hull
refused to move even after power
ful leavers and jack screws had
been applied. The launching ways
had to be relaid, tallow renewed
and eighty hours of hard labor
were required before the vessel
took the water.
She was built for California and
China trade, but on account of low
freight rates, then prevailing to
the Pacific coast, her maiden voy
age was from New York to Lon
don; thence to .Sydney, Canton
and home.
Early in 1863 the Kathay went

the city alone. The Germans were
reported fighting under a stand-or
die order from Adolf Hitler.
The Germans rushed up divisions
from the Crimea, reaching the bat
tlefront before Gen. Malinovsk’--'
forces reached the area. The So
viet airforce was aiding the south
ward drive, bombing German
troops trains and army stores at Ni
kopol. 50 miles south west of Za
porozhe. Four trains were declar
ed smashed by these attacks.
Red Star, 5oviet army newspa
per, describing Melitopol as the
last German strong point before 90
miles of dismal mud flats that of
fered little chance of natural de
fense, said the battle had “assum
ed a wide scale and has tremend
ous significance.”
A Russian victory there would
open a path deep into the south
ern district, cutting off the Crimea
where six or seven German di
visions are dug in.
Mpscow said the Germans had
elected to make a supreme stand
in the vital southern area, and re
ported that reinforcements for the
Melitopol battle were arriving from
the Crimea, rushing into attack
over and over again despite heavy
losses. Twenty-six violent German
counter-attacks were launched ii»
one day and German planes were
1,100 sorties over a ten-mile front,
Red Star said.
The newspaper recalled that the
Germans had termed Melitopol
their “eastern gate" and added “t
their “eastern gate” and added
“the gates have been closed.”

The stoppage brougnt from Rep.
Bradley the assertion that “we
can have no repetition of the Brew
ster situation at Cramp’s.”
“Unless the current difficulties
are quickly adjusted on a basis
for future cooperation established,
I will demand that the Navy take
over the yard and operate it so
that the war program will not be
interrupted,” he said.
His request for Navy “interven
tion” in the dispute, Bradley add
ed, was made to undersecretary
James V. Forrestal. Later Navy
Labor Relations officers, the un
ion said, attempted to arrange a
conference but “the company flat
ly refused.’’
Bradley said that during the
Congressional recess he investi
gated conditions at the four major
shipyards along the Delaware ri
ver—the Philadelphia navy yard,
New York Shipbuilding Corp., Dra
bo Corp. at Wilmington, and
Cramp’s at the direction of the
chairman of the House Naval Af
fairs committee.
“At the first three conditions j
were satisfactory, construction was!
proceeding well and labor rela- j
tions, generally speaking, were ve-j
ry good, Bradley said. “The Cramp!
yard left a great deal to be de-!
sired, in addition to strained labor :
relations.”
Conditions at Cramp’s, he said,
threatened its continued operation
after the war.
