A slowdown at the Aluminum Company of America plant in Cleveland triggered a War Labor Board hearing to resolve a dispute between the company and CIO unions. A board rep found four union stewards instigated the slowdown after the firm reduced staff, and recommended firing them. The Die Casters’ Union blamed management for new work procedures without union consultation, but insisted any guilty worker must be dismissed. The board ordered immediate negotiations on grievances covering nine plant operations. Union leaders voiced support for cooperation to boost production, while AFL and CIO leaders warned against any slowdown. Senator Pepper urged a board to regulate hours and wages in a broader plan.

Malta Defies Nazi Raids To Remain Menace
Malta withstands Axis bombardment as the British disclose that at least 50 Axis planes and large bomb tonnage have failed to neutralize the island since March 1. The fortified, cavernous island 18 by 17 miles lies 65 miles south of Sicily and 187 miles north of Africa, serving as a crucial bomber base and naval haven in the Mediterranean. The Illustrious sheltering there after a January 1931 dive bomber threat is cited as evidence the new siege mirrors earlier failures.
