RED BAITERS HIT: Ickes elson Praise Russia, Stress Importance of USSR NEW YORK, Nov. 8.-(A'F-Secre- tary of Interior Ickes, calling on Americans to realize that Russians will be powerful in peace as they are mighty in war, accused "the Hearst press and the Patterson-McCormick newspaper axis" tonight of "deliber- ately fostering ill will" between Al- lies. The cabinet member, speaking at Madison Square Garden exercises celebrating the 10th anniversary of United States relations with Russia, praised the Soviets for their tri- umphs over Hitlerism, pictured a great future for them, exulted over the Moscow unity pact and tore into those American newspapers he called "vendors of venom." Understanding Is Paramount "It is of the utmost importance for our two nations to understand each other," Ickes said in his speech prepared for broadcast over CBS. "Unfortunately there are powerful and active forces in this country that are deliberately fostering ill will toward Russia. There are thosewho hate Premier Stalin and President Roosevelt so bitterly that they would rather see Hitler win the war, if the alternative is his defeat by a leader- ship shared in by the great Russian and the great American.

Ford Workers Stage Outbreak At Route Plant By The Associated Press - DETROIT, Nov. 8-The Ford Mo- tor Co. said today that 4,000 foundry workers in its big Rouge plant, or- dered back to work by their union after a week-end strike, laid siege to a superintendent's office and tossed steel castings at supervisory e*- ployes until plant guards' rushed in to restore order. The Company estimated 7,000 workers were, affected by the stop. page, which began Saturday. A spokesman for the United Autonto- bile Workers (CIO) attributed he walkout' to a grievance against a foreman. The Union had ordered the strikers to return to work this morn- ing. The men returned, a formal Com- pany statement said, but "shut off their machines and began acts of vi- olence" as soon as the foreman in- volved in the dispute reported for duty. "Large steel castings were thrown at the building superintendent and other supervisors," the Company statement continued. "The super- intendent's office was wrecked, and nearly 4,000 men surrounded the of- fice in an attempt to get out four supervisors. A rest room was badly damaged by pieces of steel thrown by workmen." Rail Workers Reject Board Wage Offer WASHINGTON. Nov. 8. -(P)- A 4 to 10 cents an hour wage increase for 1,100,000 of the nation's railway employes was' recommended by 'a special presidential board today but it promptly was rejected as unsatis- factory by spokesmnen for the workers. Thus, as the fourth general walk- out in six months in the coal mines tapered off, a new problem came to the fore in the wage disputes that threatened rail transportation. The special board suggested the wage increase for non-operating em- ployes such as machinists, clerks, maintenance of way laborers and others. Both the non-operatingg em- ployes and the operating groups, en- ginemen, etc.. are taking strike votes.
