Mann Rules Out
Three Sections
Of Ljl>or Art
AUSTIN Apiil 15 Texas' ini-
tial attempt to regulate labor
unions was partially blocked Mon*
V day when the Attorney General
ruled invalid three tactions of a
bill passed by the legislature.
Although the act which becomes
law next Aug 9 w as held to I e
constitutional iis a whole an.I
within the State's notice powvr.
Attorney G**neral Mann said these
sections violated the Constitution:
Exempting certair unions from
regulations requiring annual elec-
tion of officers.
Prohibiting charging of unrea-
sonably dues. fees, fines or assess-
meets if the charge work an un-
due hardsh.n on the member.
Reinstating without payment'
of hack dues and fee union mem-
bers in the armed crvices.
Mann dec lared the first provi-;
-ion was an arbitrary classifica-
tion the second was too vague
and the thud interfered with a
union , rr'ht to contrwet.
However the invalid provisions
were severable and the n*st of
the act is within the legislative
prov i nee.

Charleston Is !
Home For Navy
Training Base
CHARLESTON, S. C. —
From the inshore patrol section
base at Charleston coma trained
fighters for the United States Na-
vy. This base, one of the fln^at
naval training schools in the coun-
try. gives the raw recruit instruc-
tion in every type of modern sea
warfare.
At the inshon> base, the train-
ing is staggered with actual active
duty. When not engaged in essen-
tial duty at the haxe or at
the men are at school. In a reg-
ular schedule of claMft officers
learn the latest in gunnery, com-
munications, executive administra-
tion and operations.
In training ships off the coast,
both officers and men make prac-
ticable application of the lessons
learned ashore.
Among the training vessel* is
a yacht, once the pleasure craft
of a multi-millionaire manufac-
turer.
At sea. on crisp ordeis from
the bridge, men ami officers
spring into action in a rapid se-
ries of drills. Dragging fire hose
forward, heaving collision mats
over the side, getting the boat
over the side, and manning ti;"
ship armament are a few of tne
drills that make up the day's 1mm-
ines*.
Officer* take squints at the sun ;

Last Stand For
North Africa
Obsemrx See Slaughter
For Kn£my But Also
Amerion Casualties*
Indications were today that
while the Allied offensive in Af-
rica is rolling along at high s, i ed
it may wind up w th a last stand
battle that will doubtless result
in slaughter of the enemy but
also in many Am. r.can casualti es.
The German Radio Monday
nivfht indicated that the A\is
would make its next stand in Tu-
nisia along a natuial defense (hie
stretching trom the coast west of
Bizertc south to Mejci el Bab :>'id
Pont du Fahs, and from there
southeast to Enfidaville. and <is-
serled it "should prove more for-
midable to the Biitlsh coming up
from the south than the Mar th
Line."
i'his outline. |>ainting the area
as one of mountains with bare
steep sides posing huge difficul-
ties of transport and making tanks
of less v alue, was g i v en by a
Trans-Ocean corresjKind. nt, Alex-
ander . Bolt ho von Hohenbach, in
u broadcast.
A line of natural defense in tlie
mountains, from the coasi well
west of Bizertc to Mejez el Bab
has lieen "well fortified" by the
Axis troops. Von Hohenbach as-
serted.
Then the line apparently would
run from Meje* el Bab siut'. ast
to Pont du Fahs and then to Kn-
fidavillc. Von Hohenbach indi, at- >
ed. He said that the mountain!
just north of Soussc w ould form j
one possible line of deft use. and I
declared that these iiills. plus tiie
road from P«.nt du Fahs t/> Enfi-
daville, and the El Bui River run-
ning parallel, should "fomi 'he
first natural obstacles." T lis
wording appeared tantamount to
an admission that Soussc had fal-
len. an acknowledgement which
the German Radio has not y -t j
made.
