(UP) Huge Ford Motor Plant at Wind sor Canada Is Closed -as Result of labor Trouble BY UNITED PRESS George V. Norris, former senator from Nebraska, believes that total Reject" Easing Blockade Hamilton, Bermuda, (UP) Dele gates to the Anglo-American Refugee disarmament is the only way to in- convention were understood today Labor disputes threatening to reach critical stages on the home front spread to Canada today, where a controversy with the United Au tomobile Workers, CIO, closed down the huge Ford Moter Company plant j at Windsor, Ontario. The strike, which halted produc tion at Canada's largest armament plant, came as the National War Labor Board prepared for a show down tomorrow with John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work ers, whose union is involved in three major controversies. Lewis has not acknowledged the WLB order to appear in Washing ton tomorrow for a discussion of wage contract negotiations with bi tuminous mine operators for 450. 000 soft coal workers. The UMW also has refused to recognize a WLB order for its members to sue permanent peace after the war. Norris voiced this belief yester day in a commencement address to an Indiana university graduating class. "One phrase." he'said, "should be on the lips of everyone peace dis armament. We must see that this is carried out." Discounting trade treaties as a solution to post-war problems, he said Congress "would debate for gen erations and never agree." Once the axis nations are disarmed, he as serted, the allies soon can be per suaded to follow. "We must do this for those who are not yet born," he said. "By mak ing future generations see the folly of war, they will thank us for dis arming them." Norris said that after total dis armament is achieved an internation al civilan committee should be set up to inspect the world's industrial plants and insure their adherence. to have rejected all proposals for an casing of the allied blockade to per mit the feeding of millions of Euro peans starving under1 axis occupa tion.

As the convention went into the fifth day, the delegates were believ ed turning from preliminary to deli cate concrete problems said to be of an explosive nature.

Gardeners May Get Extra Gas for Their Mileage Those Cultivating 1,500 Square Feet or Mrre to be Aided in Trans portation Gas British Pledge Servicemen in Jerusalem is Washington, April 24 (UP) Victory gardeners those cultivating 1,500 square feet or more will get extra gasoline rations this summer if they can show need for extra mil eage, the office of price administra tion announced today. OPA has amended its regulations to provide up to 300 miles for victory garden travel. At 15 miles per gal lon, that would give the city "farm er" some 20 extra gallons during the gardening season. The special victory garden ration, issued through the "B coupons, is a result of agriculture department and office of civilian defense de mands. Those agencies advised that many city residents were ready and willing biit unable to take over the care of gardens in outlying districts because they couldn't get to them. "These garden plans which are an integral part of the government's war food production program," OCD said, "would be seriously handicap ped unless some provision was made to enable these volunteer gardeners to drive out to their patches." To prevent ill-conceived hopes that this supplemental rationing can be used for cheating on gasoline ration ing, OPA announced these regula tions to govern the program. 1. This 1,500 square feet has to be cultivated regularly. And vege tables, not pansies, must be grown. 2. The garden farmer must show he can't get to his garden any other way than driving and that his labor is necessary for its cultivation. This limitation will not apply, OPA pointed out, to city residents regu larly employed on farms. These city-living farm-working folk will continue to be elegible for occupa tional mileage. 3. The urban dweller who wants to cultivate a rural plot must ar range, if possible, to share his car with other gardeners. Jerusalem, (UP) Archbishop Expect to Concentrate All Force en Francis J.

He decided to drop in on the family here and was delighted to find his brother and wife here and a pleasant surprise. He will leave Monday morning and on Sunday there will be a fami ly reunion held at the home of Mr. cad Mrs. Henry Albin. This is the first time that Shrader Rhoden has seen his brother, Sgt. Don Rhoden, since the latter entered the armed service a year ago. London, April 24 (UP) Prime Minister Winston Churchill's prom ise that the Royal Air Force will throw its full weight into the even tual assault on Japan gave promise today of one of the most concentrat ed aerial offensives in history. Once the axis has been defeated in Europe, it was pointed cut, the United States and Britain can afford to concentrate large forces of four- engined bombers in China and should Russia finally be drawn into the Pacific war Siberia for full scale raids on Japan proper. The size of the forces presumably would be determined only by the supplies which could be transported to them, probably largely by air, at least in the initial stages of the offensive. Japan proper represents a consid erably smaller target area than Eu rope and the concentration of bombs consequently could be much greater. Whereas there are scores of import ant industrial, military and naval target areas in the several million square miles comprising Germany and occupied Europe, compact Japan offers only six major target areas and all are within 500 square miles. Most important is Osaka with its iron and steel works, shipyards and munitions works. Next in import ance come Tokyo itself, Nagoya, Nagasaki, Yawata and Nikko, which together produce most of Japan's iron and steel, planes, arms muni tions, ships and electric power. Churchill's pledge was contained in a message of sympathy addressed to Gen. Henry H. Arnold, chief of the U. S. army air corps, on the exe cution by the Japanese of some of the American airmen who bombed Japan last year. "I cannot resist sending you this message to assure you that the RAF earnestly look forward to the day when they will be able to fly side by side with their American com" rades to attack Tokyo and other cities of Japan and strip this cruel and greedy nation of their power to molest the civilized world," Church ill said. "We shall certainly claim for our airmen a full share in this task. j which, however long it takes, must be thoroughly done by the combined forces of both our peoples." Plattsmouth Drops Close Game to Omaha Centra! Eagles Win 7 to 6 as Result Bad Inning Vroman Pitches Fine Game The Plattsmouth high school base ball team staged a close and hard -fought contest Friday afternoon at Riverside park, Omaha, against the Central Eagles, dropping the game 7 to 6 after holding a lead the greater part of the game. Despite the fine mound work of Eldon Vroman, errors and a walk caused the Platters to give their op ponents four runs in the second frame. In the third Plattsmouth came back to take advantage of the wild ness of Frank Slogr, who walked four of the locals and gave Platts mouth five runs. Walter Podrauzek was sent in the game to relieve Slogr and retired the first seven men to face him and allowed but one hit in his four in nings while Slogr was nicked for three while on the mound. The game, however, was won in the seventh on a double by Hiffer man that scored Mechan to give the Eagles a one-run margin.
