Yank navy, airmen bomb west Aleutians
American sea and air forces, striking separate blows against Japan’s far-flung defense line, were revealed today to have laid down a naval bombardment against the westernmost of the Aleutians and stabbed from the air at the heart of the Gilberts in the south Pacific.
A naval task force which ventured far out into the fog-swept north Pacific last Saturday pumped shell after shell against Attu, Jap base on the extreme tip of the Aleutians and possible springboard for an eventual attack on Japan proper. Several fires were started among installations at Holtz bay and Chicago harbor. There was no answering gunfire from the Japs who have been attempting to build a bomber base on the island.

Spooks, Spokes
FDR gives
ultimatum
to Lewis
WASHINGTON, Apr. 29— (U.P.) — President Roosevelt notified John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers today that unless all striking soft coal miners have resumed work by 10 a.m. Saturday he will invoke his authority as president and commander-in-chief of the armed forces to end further interference with successful prosecution of the war.
More than 75,000 miners in five states already have walked out tn protest against delayed settlement of their wage dispute and the rest of the 450,000 bituminous workers threaten to halt work at midnight
Green pledges AFL loyalty
President William Green of the American Federation oi Labor last night promised President Roosevelt that the International Union of Progressive Mine Workers of America ,an AFL affiliate, will not join in a coal strike regardless of the action of the United Mine Workers of America.
An informal luncheon for Spooks and Spokes candidates who have signed up in the dean of women’s office, will be held Monday at 12 noon in#the AWS lounge to become j dustry to enforce collective bargain-acquainted with actives.	I ing demands.
Friday night, when a temporary 30-day extension of their present wag* contract expires.
Roosevelt’s ultimatum did not specify what action he will take, but the paramount possibilities are dispatch of troops to tho mines, nationalization of tha mines, or cancellation of strikers* draft deferments. Conceivably, he might order two or even all three of these moves.
He sent firmly-worded telegrams to Lewis and the secretary-treasured, Thomas Kennedy, immediately on returning from a 17-day war inspection tour. His ultimatum was more than a warning to the officials—it was also a strong personal plea to the miners, over the heads of their leaders, to return to the pits'and keep vital production rolling.
Lewis, who is in New York, refused comment on the presidential order, saying he had not yet seen it. He was attending a wag* negotiation meeting of anthracite miners, who also will reach a contract deadline tomorrow night.
His defiance of the war labor board—which Mr. Roosevelt sharply underscored—and his evident intention to sanction a complete work stoppage brought swift repercussions in congress. The senate agreed by voice vote to take up on Monday a bill by Sen. Tom Connally, D., Tex., authorizing government seizure of any plant, mine or other industrial activity vital to the war if it is closed by labor dispute.
Mr. Roosevelt spoke in an even stronger vein, characterizing the present stoppages as “not mere strikes against employers of this in-
Tovarich' first night highly praised by critic
by The Playgoer
The presentation of “Tovarich” in Bovard auditorium last night brought to the SC campus another hit play that is alive with sparkling wit, excellent performances, and a universal appeal. The audience, though small, was completely appreciative of the performance, and entered into the half-whimsical, half-serious mSod whole-heartedly.
Phyllis Perry, in the role of the
Grand Duchess Tatitana Petrovna, turned in a polished and moving performance. She and Paul Board-man in the part of her husband, Prince Ouratieif, carried their leading roles with a professional skill.
Happily enough, the actors used no pseudo-accents. Instead the performance was real, untainted by a “mad-Russian’* atmosphere.
The set changes lagged a little, but this was due to the fact that three complete set changes were required. The sets themselves were skillfully executed by tbe stage staff under the direction of Roy J. Pomeroy.
The play begins ln the Hotel Du Quercy situated in one of the
most Bohemian Paris quarters.
He*e we find the Prince and Grand Duchess living in a state thaA they call “beautifully happy and beautifully sad.’* The struggles of the couple are depicted amusingly and very movingly.
The first act moves more slowly than the rest Qf tbe play; however it speeds up at the beginning of the second act and hits a pace that is never slackened.

Ed Kelly who appeared last semester as a juvenile in “George Washington Slept Here,’* plays the part of Charles Dupont, a rather eccentric and harried banker. The audience applauded (Continued on Page Two)
