forced landing pilot must make
his plane secure against theft and
report Immediately to his home air
port. Planes at non-approved air
ports must be dismantled and their
motors must be disasSembled.
Approval Of the Mount lobe air
port will allow more than so flyers

led to several walkouts, the latest
early this week when 1t was

OFFER DEFENSE
Opposition Mounts to the
Weaker Members of
His Cabinet

London, Feb. IA --- CUP - Prime
Minister Winston Churchill, fighting
for the life of his cabinet, intends
to defend himself before the House
|of Commons next week against a
mounting tide of bitter criticism.
The escape OF German fleet past
the English coast within range OF
shore guns. plus the desperate sit
uation at Singapore. brought even
the ultra conservative times into the
chorus demanding the scalps OF
Churchill's government, If not that
of Churchill himself.
So bitter was the criticism that
some thought Churchill would have
TO make vigorous defense to assure
even himself of the continued con-
fldence of the House of Commons
But the general demand was for
a mercilless shake-up In the cab
met, to weed out the weak men and
especially those who had any re-
naming faint of appeasement. and
for Churchill to delegate real au-
thority, especially in matters OF
military and naval strategy, to
subordinates.
For months Churchill, largely out
OF loyalty to his colleagues. had
resisted demands for cabinet re-
construction. 1t appeared now that
he must give in.

TIE-UP OF COSTS,
WAGES IS URGED
A. F. OF L. Submits Plan
to Be Used for Dura=
; ton OF War
BY FRED BAILEY
lited Press STAFF Correspondent


Washington, Feb. Ia -- tU.P.) -
The American Federation of Labor
proposed today that wages be tied
to living costs so as to maintain the
present living standards OF workers
for the duration of the war.
The AFI would like automatic
wage raises OF the same percentage
as increases In the labor depart
ments monthly index of living costs.
Wages thus would be readjusted
each month TO conform to changes
In the index.
The proposal Is not new. 1t has
been tried out in numerous indiyid-
ual labor contracts during peace
time. But its application on a ma
tion-Wide scale as wartime meas
ure would be new. .......
The proposal, made In the AFL's
monthly review, came as Price Ad-
ministrator Leon Henderson sug-
gested increased taxes and compul-
sorry savings as ways to balance in
creasing SURPRISES OF earnings
against decreasing supplies OF civil
ian goods. He warned at n press con-
ference that surplus earnings, eSti-
mated between $ll,000000, 900 and
SIS 900 900 900 might upset the eco
nomic applicant and cause uncon-
trolled imitation.
In discussing Congress OF IN
dustrial Organizations demand for
a 81 a day wage increase for 200,-
900 little Steel" workers Hender-
son said a two per cent cut in liv-
ing costs would be Of more value to
the workers. To increase wages
without increasing the quantity of
consumer goods, now impossible be-
cause of the war effort, he said,
would simply increase the pressure
toward imitation.
The ALL would substitute the liv-
ing cost index formula for negotia-
lions on wage disputes. Demands Tor
wage increases to balance increased
living costs are involved in more
than 40 disputes before the war la
Dor board. These demands represent
more than $250,000 day in raises.
Spokesman for manufacturers and
other employer groups expressed OPP
position TO the AFL proposal. They
argued that it would accelerate the

Successful Dash OF Three

Straits Leads to Belief

Washington, Feb. 14-,UP) Ma.
val strateGists said today that The
successful dash of three German
war vessels through Dover Straits
suggested that the Nazls plannec

tic.
These ships--the 26000-ton bat
tleships Scharnhorst and Gneis-
enau and the l0,000-ton cruiser
Prinz Eugen-probably returned tc
a German port for refitting or re-
pairs prior to joining the Other
units Of the German fleet in cam
paign against Britain's Atlantic
lifeline. they believed.
The Germans have now concen-
tratcd a potent naval force, they
said, now that those three ships
have Joined In German ports the
new $4,000 ton battleship Tirpitz, a
sister ship of the sunken Bis
marck, the two 10000 ton pocket
battleships,' Admiral Scheer and
Luetzow, perhaps six six and eight
inch gun cruisers, a new 10000 ton
aircraft carrier. the Graf Zeppelin,
perhaps Just completed aircraft
carrier, an unknown number OF
smaller combat vessels, and what
ever war ships the Germans have
secretly laid down and completed
since the war started.
The experts said the Nazis FOL
lowed an old pattern in arranging
for the race from Brest, France, to
German waters. They repeatedly
circulated rumors that they were
about to try such race until repe-
tition destroyed credence, then sud-
denly undertook 1t.
Many times in recent months
these observers said, there have
been reports that the German YES
sells were about to leave Brest.
According TO these experts, 1t was
known that one of the three Ger.
man ships had been damaged II
repeated British raids. II was con.
ceivable, they said, that repairs
could best be made in a German
naval yard.

and the two American platoonS went
into action with the guns OF their
10 little tanks splitting death.
They fought u fierce fight, some
tines at less than 30-foot range
and destroyed six of the eight Jap
anc"e tanks without losing tanE
