MOVIE EMPLOYES CONTINUE STRIKE HOLLYWOOD, March 22. —{IP)— Thousands of film studio workers continued with their jurisdictional walkout tday despite an explicit National War Labor Board order directing them to resume work. "We’re just striking as usual,” said Herbert K. Sorrell, president of the conference of studio unions which claims that 14,000 workers are idle and will remain so until a "clean-cut victory” is won. Sorrell said the unions he heads will continue to stand pat and that the next move is up to the War Labor Board. When the WLB wired Sorrell di recting that the strike be terminat ed immediately, he replied that film producers were defying the authority of the WLB. He added that the producers apparently had asked the WLB to order the work ers back to work but that the pro ducers had no right to do this. The walkout resulted from a dispute over jurisdictional claims regarding 77 set decorators, with the conference of studio unions on one side and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stajge Em ployes on the other. Both the CSO and the IATSE are affiliated with the AFL.

Pan American Union’s Reorganization Hailed As Far-Reaching Move CHAPEL HILL, March 22—«*»— "The reorganization of the Pan American Union giving it the right to discuss political questions and eliminating the overwhelming dominance by the United States, was one of the most far-reaching achievements of the Mexico City conference,” Dr. Samuel Guy In man, member of the United States delegation to the recent conference reported in an address at the Uni versity last night.

Dixon) BAD KREUZNACH, Germany,— Lf)—It is a land of women which Patton’s armored columns have been overrunning during the past few days. The tanks have thrown an iron net around countless towns and vil lages whose- inhabitants had no chance to flee, but they seem to be overwhelmingly women, a few old men and boys only emphasiz ing the absence of German males. Yanks are plentiful and there are many men among liberated foreign workers trudging or riding trucks toward rear emergency camps. The hundreds of trucks carrying German prisoners rear ward roll swiftly through the villages, leaving clouds of dust and the bewildered women. The preponderance of women was revealed when an AMG de tachment arrived in this health re sort and vacation center whose normal population is 30,000. The streets were crowded with women silently watching American traffic. Others gazed woodenly at smoul dering fires from the latest bomb ing by hit and run Luftwaffe raid ers. Bad'Kreuznach already had been severely pounded by Allied planes and in the final onslaught of armor. A few years ago, Bad Kreuznach would have seemed a tragically battered city. But after Bitburg, Pruem, 'Wittlich, Mayen and others in the Third Army’s path, the first impression is of the large number of houses still standing. The AMG commander, Capt. S. M. Brown, estimated there were still 20,000 people here — mostly women and children, many of whom were evacuees from other bomb-ridden Rhineland cities. Brown, a former school super intendent, found the fear of the Gestapo still strong. The former burgomaster, who had been ousted and jailed by the Nazis, was con sidered eligible to serve under the military government but could not be persuaded, pleading he was too old. Nevertheless, non-Nazi city of r»1 — ficials, a police force and firemen must be found. Eisenhower’s proclamation, “We come as conquerors,” was going up on the walls. Contrasting iron ically with these and the scene oi devastation was a poster left by the Nazis: “With good humor everything becomes easier. Joyours courage will help us through.” While the foreign conquerors and dazed leading citizens held their first conference, just outisde of town another discussion was being settled between a Yank armored scout car and a sniper. Sniping hereabouts has dwindled rapim*, however, and the authorities anti cipated no special difficulty. Headquarters soon was plied with confiscated German food stores. They will be used primar ily for foreign workers who are awaiting transportation rearward. -V WORTH MORE TORN DOWN mt. VERNON, 111., March 22— (U.R)—Pan Strickland of Mt.
