rendering the French fleet, would be to furnish French manpower This he has been trying to do in devious ways, including the partial closing of factories to release men who could be cajoled or intimiated into going to Germany. When his efforts failed, Laval came out in the open with his prosopal.
 It is difficult to tell how many men from the occupied countries al- ready have been drafted into the German labor army. A few months ago, the number was conserVatively estimated at 5000,0 ,000 At that time, the office of facts and figures in Washington included in that total 1,110,000 Poles, 100000 Italians, 390,- 900 French, 250,000 Belgians and 200, 900 Dutch. There also are many NorWegians, Danes, Ruman- fans, Hungarians, Greeks and others.
 Reports from Europe today are that Hitler not only is reaching out into France, but recruiting skilled labor by force or under pressure in the Netherlands, Norway, Belgium Greece, Poland and elsewhere.
 A typical report is one from Lon- don saying that Norwegian indus tries have been ordered to dismiss 30 per cent of their workers to free 6O000 workers for service in Ger many.
 Hitler's ruthless scramble for la- bor suggests a realization that he will not be able to carry through in l943 and has to win the war this year. Falling production and the lack of oil are his big problems.
 That is why Hitler is throwing the works into the southern Ukraine and the near east In an effort to get the oil fields this summer. The impending struggle in Egypt may be a tlirNinp nnint 0f the war

Is cooperating with the Royal Air Force in heavy attacks on Axis bases, communique disclosed today as British mobile forces Spared with enemy spearheadS along the Egyptian frontier.
 American B-24 bombers, which carry four tons of bombs and are known as Liberators to the British, joined with the RAF In @ heavy raid on the Axis Libyan base of Benghazi on Sunday night, causing many fires, damaged railway sidings and harbor moles," the communique said.
 The operations of the American planes, under command of Col. H. A. HalverSon of Iowa, were against supply lines of Nazi Marshal Edwin Rommel, who is massing his forces for @ quick offensive against Egypt.
 At the same time, RAT torpedo planes attacked an enemy convoy of two medium sized merchantmen escorted by destroyers and scored hits on one merchantmen, the com- munique said,
 AttIee Has Tough Time
 It was against this background that Mai. Clement R. Attlee, deputy prime minister, told the House of Commons that endorsements were moving into the Egyptian front, where action centered north of Fort Capuzzo, and that strong fight would be made to hold Egypt.
 Attlee repeated the previous an- nouncements that the enemy had lost one heavy cruiser, two destroy CTS and submarine sunk and an Italian battleship torpedoed. The Axis also lost 65 airplanes. He dis closed that British losses-far light CT than claimed by the Axis-Were one light cruiser, four destroyers, two escort vessels and 30 airplanes.
 This account, however, gave only partial picture of the four-day Mediterranean battle. Attlee did not mention the number of merchant ships lost from two conveys to To- bruk and Malta and military neceS- sity prevented him from mention ing damaged warshipS, such as re- portedly put into Gibraltar late last week.
 Attlee faced an angry House which was reflecting newspaper and public complaints on the loss of the battle of Libya. Earl Winterton Conservative, leading the attack asked for detailed explanation ot the lack of British hitting power and others demanded to know how many merchant ships were lost, why there was indecis!on in the British command and why the British had been told that the RAF was su- perior to the enemy air fleets.
 He Urged Delay
 Attlee did little to answer these questions and merely urged de- lay until Prime Minister winston Churchill returns from the United States. The prime minister, he promised, will discuss both the Libyan campaign and the results of his conferences with President Roosevelt, which SO far have pro- duced only a statement that the Allies were seeking "the earliest maximum concentration of war power upon the enemy"
 4 message from British Middle East command. Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck, was read by Attlee. The commander said that the battle ex- iiausted both sides and. when the time came, he was llnsnle to nasls-

MEET RUTH OWENS
By JIM PARKER

She's lovely to look at, delightful to listen to and she has travelled more than 60,000 miles to sing. Ruth Owens, youthful soprano of WATERS Yankee Rouse Party, has been com muting from her native Leominster to the New England Conservatory of Music for six years .. Ruth comes from a musical family and made her debut at the tender age of three at a church concert. She caused something of sensation by deciding not to sing when she got out on the stage and, instead, pull ed her little dress over her head and just stood still Later on her singing activity met with great CT success and she won a scholarship at the Conservatory which she kept for six years. Since she started on radio with the Yankee House Party last week there's been a serious disruption of work at the Boutwell, Printing Company, which is owned and operated by her father. Every day from 11:30 to 12, all the presses are stopped and the radio is turned on for half hour. However, the plant is not engaged in defense work, so Ruth is not running afoul of Donald M. Nelson.

SAL Army Pay
Thought Backed
By Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, May 10 INs)
Congressional leaders were ad-
vised today that the administra-
tion favors the senate-approved
$40 a month minimum pay bill for
army and navy enlisted men over
the House proposal of $50 a month.
This word came as Rep. Carl
May CD of Kentucky, chairman
of the House military affairs COM
mittee, declared himself ready to
tackle the conference battle on
army-navy pay increases as soon
as possible.
"We're ready to go ahead just
as soon as the Senate names the
day." May said.
But just when the five Senate
conferees would sit down with
May and his four House con-
ference committee members was
uncertain.
The companion allowance and
allotment bill, which provides $40
from the government
with $50 from the enlisted mans
pay for a soldier or sailors wife,
will come before the House Thurs
day at the earliest, May said.

Little 4-year-old Carleen Ihomp-
son is caught in the squeeze be-
tween legal red tape, which she
comprehends not. at all, and
human emotion. which she under
stands all too well.
While she sits in the office of
Circuit Judge Guy A. Miller, her
future is being argued in the
adjoining courtroom with polysyl-
Liable words and tears. The pic
turesque child is the object of a
habeuS corpus action.
The suit was filed by Mr.. and
Mrs. John Lewis of 64s5 Dixie

society virtually kidnapped Carleen
last March when it took Carleen
from their home TO the Ford
Hospital for a tonsillectomy and
then sent her to board at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Cecil Cook
of Prescott. Their petition de-
mands that the child be returned
! TO them.
When the plaintiffs met Carleen
in the courtroom yesterday, it
was the first time they had seen
the child since she was taken
away. AT first Carleen was hest
tant. Then she bounded into their
arms, kissed them and cried with
pleasure.
\ Society officials testified that
the Lewises were of a moral
standard above reproach. but that
they did not follow the proper
adoption procedure.
/ So testified Louis G. Miriam,
attorney for the society, and Col.
Edwin S. George, society presi-
dent. who described his organiza-
tion as one To care for and render
services TO the unfortunate little
children Of our state"
The Lewises told the court that
they thought they were taking
the necessary steps to adopt Car
leen. They had planned to gain
legal custody of her for two
years, they said.
"She was the center Of our
lives" Mrs. Lewis said. 1--WE
