creases in wages wherever
such increases are justified,
Secretary-Treasurer John ].
Egan announced this week.
He also revealed that all con-
gressmen from Connecticut
have been informed person
ally i'm talks and by mail that
organized labor is unalterably
opposed to legislation freez-
ing wages and to the sales tax.
The Connecticut delegation to
Washington has been asked to
be on guard against such bills
which aim to undermine the
7-point anti-infiatiOn program
of President Roosevelt.
VICIOUS STEAL"
Roosevelt, i'm his message to Con-
gress, specifically called for legisla-
ton ON two points Only-taxation
and farm prices. He informed the
Congress that wage adjustments
would continue to be considered by
the War Labor Board.
Egan characterized the sales tax
as vicious steal aimed especially
at the majority of the people and
certainly not i'm line with the dem
Ocratic principal of taxation accord
ing to the ability of people to pay.

State Federation has assisted fol-

Germans Using New
Subsfrato Planes
In Bombing Britain
Doylieht Attacks Made
From Attitudes Of
keorIy 40,00 Feet
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Sept. 14.-German sub
stratosphere bombers, equipped with
supercharged Diesel motors, have
made several daylight attacks on
Britain recently, it was disclosed
yesterday.
The first such bombings of Brit
ain were made from attitudes of
nearly 10000 feet by modified Junk
ers 86-Ps fitted with experimental
pressure cabins
This type of plane is the third
new weapon in the German air
arsenal for daylight forays against
strongly defended British ports and
cities.
The others are the four -motored
Heinkel 1T, which carries tons Of
bombs-equaling the capacity of
Britain's biggest machines, and the
bon1b-carrying Focke-Wulf 1905,
the special function of which is to
speed over coastal targets at low
attitudes and get away fast before
the speedy British Spitf1res can
reach them. The FW-190s are pri-
marily fighters.
The disclosure that Germany has
a new highflying bombing plane
follows the Friday broadcast by a
German air force spokesman who
declared that heavy bombers would
assail Britain on an "unprecedent-
ed" scale.
At the same time some British
aeronautics critics began express
ing doubt whether bombing Ger

factor in the war.
The Sunday Observers air cor
respondent suggested today that
"the fascinating pronunciamentos of
the Air Ministry may be intended
more to frighten the enemy than
as q true indication of our policy"
He asserted the Allies must destroy

The fleet which will come off the
