Nelson said the government Is

of foodstuffs at this time, he added.
He said unequal price situations

Price control chief Leon Hender-

a sharp warning TO industry against
increasing prices out of proportion
to wage boosts.
Nelson said he was mot in favor"
of increases in steel prices growing
out of wage increases granted to
workers.
"A large increase in the produc-
ton of steel and the consequent
lowering of overhead can provide
for wage increases" he said. II

Capt. 7. H. Messer of the L. S.
army engineers corps spread out
a big map of the western United
States today and showed how the
army is laying a chain of military
airports well inland as a safeguard
against blitzkrieg technique.
Squadrons of bombing planes will
be based at airdromes in Nevada
Utah and Arizona as a solution to
the modern technique of invasion
in which air bases are blasted be-
fore their squadrons can get off the

With few exceptions no major
air base of the army air corps will
be exposed 10 potential raids by

Welding instead of riveting, de-

Ultimately, Korndorff said, there

British, Germans
Come to Grips

With the enemy along the whole of
our front" a British communique
said.
Several German thrusts at the
east end of the line, presumably
in the Mount olympus area, were
repulsed in the preliminary fight
ing as the NaziS sought to find a
soft spot. The mountain passes in
this sector were regarded at Athens
as strongly defended and so rugged
they would provide formidable OBJ
stacleS for German mechanical
units, although the danger remained
that the allied defenders would be
encircled if the Nazis broke through
elsewhere.
NO BREAK THROUGH
British sources said that there
was no grounds for reports that
a break through had occurred, al
though there was speculation on
whether the British Greek troops,
if necessary, could retire to short
er. rs mile line running from the
Gulf of Larima to the Gulf of Arta
thus Surrendering Larisa and at
tempting to hold a line north Of
Athens.
German air force continued to
hammer at Greek ports, seeking to
break up British shipping supplies.
Pireaus and Eleusis were the main
objects of attack but German and
italian air attacks also were re-
ported against the Jugoslavs at
Brazza. The Germans claimed to
have damaged or sunk nine British
transports totalling 10000 tons at
PireauS alone.
