THE LABOR DAY PARADE
proposed by Orange union crafts
will at least give some recogni-
tion of the day which may result
in many people spending their
time in their home city who
would otherwise go elsewhere in
search of past time. For many
years Orange has furnished hosts
of people to witness celebrations
in other sections than at iiome on
the several holidays that are ob
served.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 27. (AP)
--The army ordnance associa-
tion, a semi - official body, today
condemned strikes for a "dis-
graceful blot" on the record of
defense progress and listed as a
companion debit the lack of a
single administrative head for
armaments production. • ,
On the subject of defense i
strikes, the. association asserted)
flatly: "They should be outlaw-1
ed once and for all in order that j
the vast majority of willing hands
may do their share in defense
production."
The ordnance organization also
found reason to deplore the de-
lay in fixing "a ceiling on all
prices" — a delay which it said
"has added millions to the cost of
national defense arid points the
way to monetary inflation which
may defeat the very purpose of
the defense effort."
The opinions cf the association
were set forth in an editorial
analysis of the accomplishments
and defects of the defense effort
which appeals in the current is-
sue of the organziation's journal,
Army Ordnance.
If the association found much
to criticise in the defense effort,
it also found, much to praise, as-
serting that the "end of M-ycar
(Mobilization yd r) discloses mil-
itary armament production gain-
ing momentum."
"Soon they will be in high gear,"
the editorial reported. "After
the American way!"
The association is composed of
army ordnance officers and civil-
ian ordnance engineers.
