MOST SLAIN
(The Melbourne Herald's cor
respondent in New Guinea said
that although big proportion
of the japanese were believed
slain before they reached shore,
the landings in the Mambare and
kumusi estuaries means that
the enemy has established an adj
ditional sector on the Papuan
COAST
After being attacked by Liber-
ators and Flying Fortresses the
cruiser-and destroyer-protected
Japanese vessels stood off the
coast Sunday night and began
landing operations under cover
of darkness.
Early Monday fortresses, hav-
ocs, airacobras and Australian
beaufighters swarmed to the as
sault, bombing and strafing the
landing area in ceaseless shut
tie service between ship and
shore. Every one of the enemy
landing barges in one group OF
20 was sunk or set afire.
After absorbing two days OF

Senate Girds
for 0PA Probe
Wheeler Expected
TO Iced Inquiry

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 Up
s An investigation of the whole
field of operations of the Office
of Price Control will be launch
ed by a Senate Agriculture SUBJ
committee Immediately after the
new Congress convenes.
Senator Wheeler (D-Mont)
who was expected to take an ac-
tive part in the investigation,
said the committee which au-
thorized the inquiry yesterday
wanted to learn how the Price
Control Act was being interpre-
ted and applied end what plans,
if any, had been made for the
payment of subsidies to main
tain ceilings.
II personally feel that there is
no authority under the law for
the payment of subsidies, "
Wheeler told reporters. II think
we ought to investigate the
whole price control setup to see
what they are doing, as well as
the operations of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, particular
ly their construction of the law
in absolute contradiction to the
intent of Congress"
Wheeler alluded to action TAX
en- by Economic Director James
F. Byrnes, under President
Roosevelt's orders, to count gov
eminent benefit payments as a
part of farmers crop income
thus permitting the establish
ment of price ceilings below par
ity levels in some instances.
Senator Aiken (R-Vt), who
has charged this was contrary to
the intent of Congress, told re-
porters he would not be surpris-
ed il action were taken in the
new session to cut off funds for
the payment of subsidies so that
farm price ceilings would have
to be raised to obtain sufficient
food production.

Africa
Continued from PaRe One

"the most successful attacks YET
recorded" were made on the
harbors of Tunis and its port OF
La Goulette Sunday night.
Air craft were over the tar
gets for four hours in all and
hits were scored on at least three
sh ips at La Goulette, all OF
which were set on fire.
"Other fires were started on
La Goulette Islands and near
the main dock at Tunis. One fuel
fire could be seen 100 miles
away. Attacks also were made
on Tunisian railways"
The changing balance in air
power - key to the whole fight
was seen in the commune
que's announcement that from
h ese attacks, from incessant
strafing of Rommers retreat
and from raids on Axis shipping
off the North African coast, only
two planes failed TO return to
their bases.
The Italian communique &C.
knowledged the intensity of the
air attack on Tunis and said the
port of Sousse also was hard hit.
1t reported 200 killed in two
cities.
In contrast to the British an
nouncement of weak resistance,
the Italians said the L i b " n
fighting had been violent, and
declared that "in spite of enemy
superiority in men and material
the enemy advance was stopped
by the brave resistance of ltal-
ian armored units"
That suggested that once
again Rommel might have left
his Italian allies to fight what
ever rearguard action there was

Absence from Work
Inspires Seolding
Women Are Asked
to Stick to Jobs

CHICAGO, Dec. IS (R -
Women workers who stay away
from their newly acquired Jobs
in war plants to do their shop
ping, attend wedding or parties
or to get their hair done, are
retarding the war effort, says
William II. Spencer, regional di-
rector of the War Manpower
Commission.
Absenteeism among women
war workers is becoming a Sc
rious manpower problem, Spen-
Ger said yesterday in an address
to the City Club of Chicago yes
terday. He suggested hiring wo-
men for industry on "selective
service" system, younger, UNI
married women without depend
ents being hired first, then mar
ried women without children,
and finally married women with
children.
Recent wide scale, indiscrim-
mate recruiting of women for
war industries has been unfor-
tunate," Spencer said. "Absen-
teeism is prevalent among wo-
men workers primarily because
employers have not been care
full in selecting the right kind OF
women for available jobs"
He said that women earning
increased incomes and working
six day weeks have been tempt
ed to take unscheduled holidays
to enjoy their new purchasing
power.

Reveal Weakness
After Dunkerque

LONDON, Dec. IS - (P -
Prime Minister Churchill told
the House of Commons today
that the British army had only
100 tanks Oh July Il, 1910 to
face the threat of a German in
vasion after the fall of France.
Even these tanks, the Prime
Minister said, were of a type
found in the battle OF France to
be too weak to stand up against
German anti-tank guns.
THE invasion of this country
was expected if not in the aut-
umn of 1910, at any rate in the
spring of 1941 or even 1912"
he said.
Churchill made thee disclos-
ures in a statement on the value
of the present British heavy
tanks which bear his name, re-
calling that on Aug. IL, 1910,
he called a meeting to consider
tank production.
Earlier the Prime Minister in
timated that Great Britain is de-
veloHing. important ~newa air
weapons to combat submarines.
Disclosing that he had formed
a battle of the Atlantic commit
tee in 1941 under his own direc-
ton Churchill said:
in October, 1912, I felt that
new additional effort was
needed on account of the ever
more important part which the
air had begun to play in anti
U-boat warfare and consequential
complicated and technical de-
velopments of all kinds.
Consequently, he said, he re-
constituted the committee as an
anti-U-boat warfare committee
with himself as chairman.

Battle of Chateau Thierry and

Copper Hill, Va, where he was
born Aug. 10, 1894. In 1922, he
married Miss Miranda Reed at

year later they moved to De-

job on armament at the sub-de-
pot. The son is married and is a
father, making the elder Bishop
grandfather, of course.
The elder Bishop philosophiZ-
es that killing 35 Germans was
a pretty good thing back in 1918
and is still a good idea today.
IF everybody had killed as
many as did, we wouldn't have

Liquid Cheer
IspIeniiiuI'


WASHINGTON, Dec. Is Up
Although liquor production Is
at q standstill because of the
war, government experts see nc
dearth of Christmas cheer this
year for those who have the
money to buy.
Or next year either, for that
matter.
In fact, says Stewart Berk-
shire, deputy commissioner OF
the Treasury's alcohol tax unit,
government warehouses r & h
now are bullying with enough
liquor to meet normal require
ments for about three and a half
years.
Reports Of shortages develop
Ing in some sections, he said, are
probably due to transportation
difficulties or other causes of q
purely local nature.
Rationing on the basis of q
quart a day per person has been
instituted by Ohio State liquor
stores and a more comprehen-
sive card rationing system is
planned next month. North Car
DINA stores also have begun ra-
tioning and in New York some
dealers have suggested volun-
tary plan.
Ohio Stores have been forced
TO operate under reduced hours
because of inability to get suffi-
cient help. Growing manpower
shortages are expected eventual
ly to affect retail stores in other
states.
Shortages in areas. where ra-
tioning has been adopted or is
under consideration were attrib-
uted to shipping difficulties,
heavy buying by consumers
anxious to avoid payment of the
additional tax which becomes
effective Nov. /, and in some
cases to speculative buying.
