About 40,000 automobile workers are idle awaiting union ratification of a proposed agreement between National Automotive Fibres Inc Detroit officials and CLO strikers demanding a new contract. Most idle workers come from auto shops shut due to upholstery shortages from the fibre company. Federal labor conciliator James F. Dewey said a tentative agreement exists but requires ratification at a meeting tomorrow. Meanwhile workers at Chrysler Dodge and De Soto plants and Briggs body plant remain idle. A Chicago conference of management labor and government officials produced a pact to curb shipyard and repair plant stoppages in the Great Lakes region and set skilled mechanics pay at 1.42 per hour, subject to ratification by all.

Soviet Stand Against Germany Halts Blitzkreig Advance
New York dispatch notes that after three weeks of war in the east the Red Army holds a battered yet unbroken front while Nazi forces face their first foe in nearly two years that is not defeated. France endures, but the German push stalls in the east and south as Britain resists invasion. Poland and Norway collapse quickly, with Warsaw encircled and only pockets of resistance remaining. Belgium and the Netherlands suffer, Dunkirk ends, and Paris looms as armistice terms approach. The piece contrasts Soviet resilience with broader Axis advances and the slow Allied retreat.
