Navy Doesn't Favor
Chicago Daily News,

Admiral Says He Wos
Ordered Not to Aid
knox's Paper
z, tht Associated Press.

Ey tint Associated Press.
Admiral A. J. Hepburn told Rep
resentative Hoffman, Republican OF
Michigan today that no favoritism
had been shown by the Navy to the
Chicago Daily News, published by
Secretary of Navy Knox.
The Admiral now is chairman of
the General Board of the Navy.
He was director of public relations
until last Tuesday
In a telegram to Representative
Hoffman. Admiral Hepburn said he
noted with concern" resolution
introduced in the House by the
Michigan Congressman charging
Secretary Knox with favoritism to-
ward his own newspa per In the con-
duct of the Office of Public Rela-
tions"
Il never received any order or
suggestion from the Secretary to dis
criminate in favor Of any particular
correspondent or publication Ad-
miral Hepburn said,
Admiral Hepburn quoted this
memorandum addressed to him by
Secretary Knox, February s.
although l am certain this pre-
cautionary suggestion is not neces-
sary. as fal as either you or your
senior officers are concerned, never
theless I wish you would take the
necessary steps in the Office of Pub
lie Relations so that under no cir
cunstances will the representative
of the Chicago Daily News receive
any more favorable treatment than
is received by any similar newspaper
under similar conditions. The staff
members of the Chicago Daily News
should receive the same treatment
and only the same treatment as is
accorded other newspapermen.'

Closing Chicago Grain
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. l5.--A drop of
more than a cent bushel in corn
futures prices to new lows for the
season today unsettled the entire
grain market. Wheat, however,
closed almost cent higher due to
buying against sales of corn and
reports of harvest delays in the
northwest.
Liquidation of corn was blamed on
favorable weather, with experts ex-
pressing belief most of the nations
crop may already be out of danger
except for possible frost damage or
poor harvest conditions later. Talk
Of possible price ceilings on live
stock and Washington report that
several anti-inflation studies are
under way attracted attention.
Corn rallied just before the close
but finished A-7s cent lower than

To Be Chief Issue
In WLB Hearing

PITTSBURGH, Aug. l5.-The CIO
United Steel Workers of America
said today the War Labor Board
hearing in Washington next Tues
day of the unions controversy with
subsidiaries of the United States
Steel Corp. would be confined to
oral arguments on points involved in
tie Little Steel case only.
That meant the unions demand
for elimination of sectional wage
differentias has been dropped as
an issue at this time, leaving the
major point of whether big Steel
should grant retroactive wage raise
of 51a cents An hour to last Feb
ruary s, as did the Little Steel"
group. This would amount to an
average of $55 for 185 900 workers.
The union has contended that
for years the industry as a whole
has followed general wage rates and
since the Little Steel" companies
Bethlehem, Inland, Youngstown
Sheet e. Tube and Republican,
paying the back pay, others should
do so also, regardless of contract
The Weirton Steel Co. has paid its
workers back to January /.
The corporation, in declaring it
70 oil
of the Little Steel" decision, men
toned specifically the issue of pay
ing back wages to the union, whose
contract had not expired until
August 9.
The Labor Board, in it's Little
Steel precedent-making decision
also granted a maintenance Of union
membership clause and a check of
on union dues.

adventure" Mr. Roosevelt is beginning
TO see matters in a military rather than
a political light. He realizes that when
we go over to the continent of Europe
we must go with such overwhelming
force that the chances OF defeat will be
reduced to the very minimum.
The need for factual, not vocal, team
work has become urgent. now that the
Nazis are pounding at the gates of the
Caucasus and the Japs are beginning to
enjoy the fruits of their victories in the
South Pacific. This is going to be

materials without which they cannot
continue the struggle.
The Nazi strategy since 1899 has been
to knock out the enemies of the Axis
one by one, beginning with the weakest
-Poland-and conquering the others
gradually, always following the line of
least resistance. They attempted to
knock out Britain only once-in 194o-
but they learned their lesson and have
not attempted to tackle the United King

against Britain the Nazi high command

ceiling in Canada which applies only
to the retail field. The ceiling covers
beef but not cattle.
Consumer Loses Out.
Two factors made the situation more
diff1cult, as consumers began to agitate.
II beef runs short, many consumers
would normally buy other meats such as
pork or lamb. But Canadian pork sup
plies are closely controlled in order to
provide heavy shipments for Britain.
When spring lamb came on the market
recently, its price was at the fanciest
levels in years, up to IS cents a pound In
some cities. Spring lamb, being a sea-
sonal commodity, was not under the
price ceiling.
The other factor was that the army.
navy and air force are not required to
observe the price ceiling, so that when
beef supplies started running short the
armed services could out-bid civilian
consumers. They did 50, and with
United States buyers and the Canadian
armed forces bidding for beef supplies,
the Canadian consumer was left out In
the cold. He may have really begun to
resent the price ceiling for the first time
The Wartime Prices and Trade Board
moved In quickly to keep the beef situa-
ton under control. 1t issued an order
specifying maximum wholesale prices of
beef In different zones covering the en-
tire country, This was not enough. as
meat dealers Immediately began selling
