NELSON ASKS
 DELAY UPON
 LABOR LAWS
Congress 10 De- lay Legislation for al
 Least 30 Days

WASHINGTON, March 24-War Production Chief Donald M. Nell son has asked Congress to give him a 30-day time limit in which to obtain a voluntary suspension of the double-pay for overtime practice through the agreement of leaders of organized labor before Congress enacts any legislation matter.
 He has promised the House Nav al Committee that he will ask legislation himself if he is unable to obtain that agreement.
 But simultaneously he entered his opposition against the suspen- sion of the Federal Maximum Hour legislation and the ban against closed shops industries handling Army and Navy contracts.
 Nelson said, The men at the bench are just as patriotic as you and I. The present law doesn't pre- vent men from working more than 40 hours a week. It does not set a pattern for the length of our work week in war industries, but governs wages rather than hours that the man may work

WASHINGTON, March 24-For a person who tries never to predict, to make some estimate of what is going to result from senatorial and executive surveys of government personnel is really taking the bit. But there are straWs in the wind now too thick to be ignored.
 First, the federal government, with a quarter of a million employees in Washington and a million more in the field,' already has exceed ed the widest forecasts. Here alone it is growing at the rate of 5000 employees month. Senator Tyd- ings, Marylands anti-administration Democrat, has described it as "an overgrown monstrosity from top to bottom"
 Every one of the ten departments headed by members of the cabinet have pleaded that they are all CT in great part necessary to the war effort and therefore should have priorities in appropriations and the hiring Of additional personnel. Sey- en of these have been classified as necessary in toto, three in part.

ALASKA FISH REGULATIONS
 MADE PUBLIC
Indicate Bristol Bay 0per-
 dtiOns Will Be as Normal

WASHINGTON, March 24-The 1942 fishing regulations for Alaskan waters were signed today by Sec retary of the Interior Harold l.. Ickes and indications are that nor nal operations will be carried out in Bristol Bay with the exception of Egegik.
 Herring catch quotas were cur tailed sharply, but only minor changes were made affecting the salmon fishing industry.
 Because of a continued decline in herring, the major production areas will have reductions in catch quotas established as follows;
 Reduce Herring Catch
 l. Kodiak Area-Quota reduced from 258,O00 barrels to l500oo bar rels to be taken between July and October IS, with an additional 367day closed period to be pro- vided for during the summer sea- son.
 9. Prince William Sound-Quota in this area provides that the maximum take be cut from 250,- 900 to 75.O00 barrels to be taken between June 24 and October 15, with the further provision that not more than 25,000 barrels may be taken between June 24 and Aug ust 23
 3. Southeastern Alaska Area--The 5O,O0O barrel quota in effect from June l to October Is last year is reduced so that no more than 2,000 barrels may be taken during any calendar month, except with gill nets or for bait purposes.
 No limitations are provided for Kodiak or Prince William Sound waters outside of quota areas.
 Close Egegik
 In the major red salmon produc- ing area of Bristol Bay, the only changes in the regulations prohibit the fishing for commercial pur- poses in the Egegik district which normally accounts for only a small percentage of the Bristol Bay catch. Last year, this district con- tributed only 29,000 of the 624,0oo case pack for the Bristol Bay

AII-0ut Attack Must Con- tinue for Key Victory,

BERLIN, March 24-The Japan csc Naval spokesman is quoted in German radio station broadcast as advocating ceaseless offensive for key victory, naming Australia and the Indian Ocean areas which must be seized "as strongholds of big future military operations.
 The Japanese spokesman quoted the writing of Capt. Hiraide in the Tokyo newspaper Yomiuri.
 Capt. Hiraide argues against pro- longing Japan's pause in an all- out attack, a pause in the inter- Jude since the conquest of Java by which he said, Japan is now on the defensive and the Anglo American forces on the offensive. Defensive lines do not lead to vic- tory"

SECOND BIG ASSAULT ON
 pT.k0RE5BY
Two Waves of Planes Are Sent Over N. E. Aus
 fraIidn Defenses

MELBOURNE. Australia, March 24-Japanese airmen have made their second big attack in two days on Port Moresby, the outer island outpost of Australias north- eastern defenses on New Guinea.
 The Japanese sent over two waves of bombers protected by fighter planes.
 The bombers first centered their attack on the airdrome at Port Moresby in a persistent effort to rub out the combined American and Australian air forces there which have made the Japanese po- sitions in the area SO costly to maintain.
 The bombers then staged a see- ond attack on targets near the port as the Japanese Navy zero planes sought to drive off any att tempt at defense. but in which they were unsuccessful.
 Prime Minister John Curtin said little damage was done and no casualties are so far reported as the result of the two raids.

Attack Occurs in Enemy Waters : Other Ves-

 The vessels involved are not re- ported in any previous navy an- nouncement.
 The naval records now show that the far reaching activities of the submarines of the United States are credited with sinking 25 Japanese ships and probably 10 more have been sunk as results of damage done. The sinkings are all re- ported as accomplished in Japan ese waters.

WASHINGTON fact about the current quarrel over imitation and the farm bill is that sage old Bernie Baruch long ago warned the President, Leon Henderson and the inner circle that they could not stop imitation if they put the brake only on prices.
 "Price-fixin is like four-legged chair" Baruch warned them. Tt won't stand on two legs or even three"
 There is no use regulating con- sumer prices, he said, unless you also regulate profits, also wages, also farm prices. If one of them gets out of hand, the others will too.
 Baruch, who was head of the War Industries Board in the last war, has been harping on this point for months. He urged Con- gress more than a year ago to adopt a very high excess profits tax to take away all the war prof its from industry; and at the same time he urged the President to clamp down on wages as well as prices.
 The President actually got lit tie irritated at Baruchs pounding away on this theme. Today, how ever, chief resentment of the farm belt is not so much against RooSe- velt's urging that farm prices be kept down, but over the fact that labor's income has skyrocketed while the farmers hasn't Furthermore, the farmer complains that he has to pay a lot more for his labor when he can get it at all-but he can't increase his farm prices pro portionately.

In spite of the vast expansion of government personnel, not all of the departments have added em- ployes in the last year. That much criticized fellow, Harold L. Ickes, has cut his Interior department staff about 2,500 in IS months up to Jan. 1. However, at that time, the trend again was up. The Lab or department is down slightly. having lost one of it's agencies Gm- migration and Naturalization to Justice. The Agriculture depart ment also had reduced it's force by more than 1000 persons at last report. All others have grown
