STETTINIUS:
Issuing Orders

The priorities director of the Of
flee Of Production Management,
E. r. Stettinius Jr., moving rapid
ly to get the economic condition Of
the nation geared into the defense
production machine, announced that
all steel would be placed under full
priority for defense.
Stettinius announced that there
was growing shortage in certain
types of steel products, and said
that his order covered not only steel
but also certain alloys.
1t means that the steel companies,
already operating to capacity and
with growing backlogs Of orders,
are forced to accept all defense or
ders in the future even if this
means the shelving and deferring
of non-defense orders.
The preference given defense or
ders applies not only to the army
and navy, but also to British orders
and those of the lend-lease program.
It goes into effect September l.,
after which any order for steel will
have to be accompanied by spe-
cial form which will set forth what
purpose the steel is to be used for.
The priorities control over steel
rolled the ball little higher as far
as governmental economic action
was concerned. Already in August
pig iron had been placed on the list,
and the recent order concerning the
manufacture Of silk hosiery, and
placing of the entire national output
Of silk at government and defense
disposal sent women chasing pell-
nell to department store counters.
Also the Stettinius Office was Or
dering other goods out of produc-
ton to conserve materials. How
far-reaching this was could be no
ticed in the order outlawing white
WALL automobile tires.
Stettinius' order stated that 5000
tons of rubber per year could be
saved in this way, and that quanti-
ties of zinc, in the form of zinc OK
ide, also went into the manufacture
of these tires.

STRIKES:
Break Out Again

With the mounting cost Of living,
particularly soaring food prices,
once more labor trouble began rear
ing its head, particularly in defense
industries.
Twenty-Five thousand shipyard
workers at Kearny, N. j., went out
on strike, and boldly demanded that
the United States government take
over the yard. There was small
er strike at a nearby shipyard in
Brooklyn.
At Caldwell, N. j., vital airplane
propeller plant was crippled by a
strike. In many instances, workers
receiving about ~ cents per hour
were asking for a raise to ST.; other
groups were asking a 20-cent-an-
hour increase, while one or two Of
the disputes had a jurisdictional
phase.
oldest strike was that in the pro-
peller plant, where the workers put
on their demonstration on the very
day when OPM Director Knudsen
was due for visit to watch air.
plane propellers being rushed into
production.
The company finally joined the
workers in asking U. S. assistance
to end the walkout. - ,
Meanwhile, similar troubles were
reported at the Philadelphia Navy
yard, where some of the navy's big
gest fighting ships are built. This
was not walkout Of shipyard en-
ployees, but carpenters dispute
which, according to navy officials,
was seriously curtailing the defense
effort.

BATTLE:
OF Propaganda

The rival claims of Russians and
Germans to successes on the east
front continued to feature the war
news to the despair Of the reader
and observer, and the beclouding Of
any clear understanding of the ac-
ton.
Official London, usually ignoring
such matters, warned the public to
''take the German claims with re-
serve" but to realize that a serious
and dangerous threat to the Black
sea port of Odessa was shaping up.
That was one direction in which
the Germans were claiming rela-
lively little. They did claim the
capture of an army general in the
south, and thousands of prisoners,
but most of the claims were in the
territory closer to Kiev, Smolensk,
and Leningrad.
Stories came out of Berlin with
an undercurrent of dissatisfaction
with conditions, however, one dis
patch stating that the Russians, de-
spite huge losses, were still hurting
millions of fresh troops into the
fray with no count of the cost.
BERLIN:
Under 2 Fires
The German capital, since the
Russian war started, was placed un-
der two bomb fires, in fact, in re-
cent attacks, people could not tell
whether the bombing planes were
coming from the east or the west.
Britain, relieved Of much of the
necessity Of protecting her own
cities, was hammering away day
after day, night after night, when
suddenly came reports from Berlin
Of bombings Of the city and territory
by Red planes.

JAPAN:
Crisis

Increasingly tough measures
against Japan by the British-Amer-
lean front were predicted by Lon
don as the crisis grew more acute
in the Indo-C Chinese area; with the
Dutch East Indies, Malaga and the
Philippines regarded as equally
menaced. 49,. u u. ..4---lls,---ll-<
The Japanese demand on Portugal
for an air base at Delhi, town on
the Portuguese half of the little
known Dutch-P Portuguese island of
Tirnor in the Malay archipelago,
was the latest move of the Nippon
ese to raise tension in the South
Pacific. = ssaS
London stated that the granting
of such a base would enable the
Japanese planes to fly right over the
center of the Dutch East Indies, and
to throw a loop of military air
planes around the Philippines. :.
It did not make the tension any
easier when it was learned that
Nazi Germany was putting pres
sure ON the Portuguese government
asking air and submarine bases on
Lisbon's colonial territories in re-
turn for a Nazi guarantee of Portu-
guese territorial integrity.
A German base IN the Azores,
London pointed out, would largely
nullify the American aid to Britain
on the Atlantic. Also a base on
Portuguese territory in West Africa
would do the British no good in the
Mediterranean battle.
At the same time an article by
Chen Chieh, former Chinese am
bassador to Berlin, expressed the
conviction that sitter economic
pressure on Japan by Britain and
the United States might checlmate
any of Nippon's demands.
Chieh said that the entire Jap
anese southern Pacific campaign
was the result Of prodding by Ger
many, who had underestimated the
courage of the United States. the
strength of the Russian army, and
while realizing the strength OF the
Chinese army, thought bluh would
close the Burma road.

Hoimon clicks the receiver a

up. He goes over in his mind all
the hideouts he can think of in
the city and then he goes back
to the car and drives away.

It will be nice having Adoreen
around while he waits for things
to simmer down a little.
The sun is going down when

Adoreen's apartment. He walks
swiftly through the lobby and
into the elevator. When he gets
to Adoreen's door, he is shaking
a little and feels ashamed of him.

"Okay," says Castaloni, still
walking toward her. Then never
mind the coat. It's warm out and
there's blanket in the car" He
lunges at her and clamps one
hand over her mouth. He sweeps
her into his arms and heads for
the door.
He looks carefully down the
hallway before he steps o u t.
Adoreen is kicking and struggl-
ing to break away, but it takes a
strong man to get places in the
broccoli racket, and Mr.. Casta-
loni is the Broccoli King of all

He goes down the back stairs,
and when he gets into the area
way, he sets her down. There is

says. my trigger finger has no
conscience, so I'd advise you to
walk quietly from here to my
car Savvy?"
There are tears of terror in
Adoreen's eyes, but she mods.
Castaloni's face is hard and de-
cidedly unpleasant. "Grab my
arm, Kitten, just as if were the
only man in the world you could
ever love. Then let's move. Just
walk and listen to me as If you
enjoyed every word. That's it.
You and I are gonna be together
a lot for the next few weeks, 50
you'd better get used to it,"
When they reach the sidewalk,
Adoreen glances pleadingly at
young couple who are passing.
But the couple pay no attention
to her and Castaloni. It is just
after she gets in the car and
Castaloni is starting the engine,
that she takes a deep breath and
screams-screams thro1 III the
open window of the car % that it
seems like everybody from Har-
lem to the Bowery can hear it.
Castaloni's hand shoots out
ard slaps her across the face.
Shut up! Try that again and
I'll put you to sleep for good"
He runs up the open window
and spurts away from the curb.
Some people are staring after the
car, and Adoreen can see faces
at some windows. Maybe they
heard her scream. Maybe they
will call the police. 1t is one hope
