Second Check in Week.
1t was the second time within a
week that weather had interrupted
the RAF's offensive, bad conditions
having kept the British air armadas
away from Germany last Thursday
night
There was only light German
aerial activity over Britain during
the night and this was confined to
the southwest coast, where, a COM
munique said, bombs caused few
casualties and damage to residences.
Hundred, of British planes
among them many big four-engined
craft capable of carrying tremedous
bomb loads-participated in the
Saturday night assault on Emden,
one of the main bases for German
submarines harassing the Atlantic
shipping lanes.
Pilots participating in the assault
said enormous fires were set in the
dock area.
One target was the Nordenseewerk
submarine factory and another was
the DortmCnd-Ems Canal, through
which iron ore from Scandinavia
had been flowing into the Reich.
German airdromes also were at
tackled in the Saturday night opera
tions, which the British said cost
them nine bombers and one fighter
The raid on Emden was the 18th
on that city since the start of the
war and followed by exactly one
week the tremendous 1.000-plane
raid on Cciogne which launched the
RATS new offensive.
The English Channel was the
scene of action yesterday when a
patrol of light British naval forces
had brief engagement with great

Belgian coast, during which a GOO

and almost certainly sunk, the Ad-
miralty announced.

oeLosing Edge Held
Over Navy at Start
OF War, King Says
William and Mary
Graduates Warned of
Heurtoches, Sacrifices
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
WILLIAMSBURG. Va. June g.
Admiral Ernest j. King told the
graduating class of the College of
William and Mary today that the
"officers and men OF the Navy-as
representative Americans-have no
lack of confidence in their ability to
deal with the enemy if they meet
him on anywhere near equal terms"
AT the beginning of this war, for
a variety of reasons" the chief of
naval operations, said, those terms
were decidedly unequal and in favor
of the enemy. ;. We have already
made some progress in overcoming
those inequalities.
~Our capacity for production is
well known. Our trained manpower
is increasing steadily under an ac-
celerated program. A good share OF
our naval forces have had the neces-
sary seasoning"
What is more important" he
added, I'VE believe the American
man is unequaled as an intelligent
and fearless fighter"
Admiral King, who received an
honorary degree of doctor of laws at
the exercises closing the 249th ses-
sion of the college, declared he was
confident that we shall win this
war, and that not only will our own
freedom be preserved, but that of
untold millions be restored to them
1T will involve untold labor, a
multitude of heartaches, and sacri-
fees such as we have yet never
known.
Il am further confident that when
we have won this war. we shall see
to it that the ability of any person
or of any people to enslave others,
physically or mentally or spiritually,
shall become forever impossible"
Admiral King, whose address was
more than any other, is war for
freedom-freedom of the kind that
we Americans have inherited and
without which we cannot exist.
I'm very real sense, the present
war can be termed an armed clash
of educational systems-the one
standing for freedom of speech and
of thought, the other opposed to
any but prescribed ideas and regi-
mented thinking"
DR.. John Stewart Bryan, president
of William and Mary since 1884, who
has announced his retirement from
that Office, also received a degree of
doctor of laws. DR.. Bryan will be-
come chancellor when his successor
takes Office.
The college also conferred LID.
degrees on Homer L. Ferguson,
chairman of the Newport News
Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., and
George Preston Coleman of Will
liansburg, former State highway
commissioner.
Five Washingtonians were among
the graduates. They are Jane Alden,

Germons Report Repuise
OF Reds in Hard Fight

BERLIN From German Broad
casts, June tP.-New spurts OF
action on scattered Russian fronts,
with both the Russians and Ger
mans on the attack. we're reported
today by the German high COM
mand.
The communique said the Russians
had launched violent thrusts against
a strongly defended bridgehead in
the Volkov area below Leningrad,
but were repulsed in hard fighting
and suffered heavy losses of men
and material.
Other Russian attacks on an un-
stated southern sector were said TO
have been stopped by Hungarian
troops.
At a point behind the central
sector, the high command said,
Nazi troops were pressing attacks
on "encircled enemy groups" not
withstanding adverse weather.

Scouting Activity.
Other sectors of the long Russian
front were marked over the week
end by lively scouting as both sides
apparently kept sharp watch for
signs of any major new offensive.
Although hampered by bad
weather, the Red Air Force was said
to have destroyed 43 German planes
and damaged II to 20 others in raids
on enemy air bases in the Far North
where the NaZis have been concen-
trating air power on an attempt to
disrupt Russia's Arctic supply line
from the United States and Britain.
On the Leningrad front, the mid
day communique said. Red Army
units struck the Germans heavy
blows. killing more than 500 in one
engagement alone.
Five tanks and two guns were de-
stroyed on the Kalinin front, north
west of Moscow. In one day and one
enemy unit lost more than 400 killed,
it added.

miral King described as another
decisive setback" to the enemy
gave another reason to be prepared
for some blow. he said. In this
connection, Admiral King noted
that details of the Coral Sea action
have not yet been made public. but
promised that you will shortly be
in possession of all the essential
facts"
He did say that following that
battle for the approaches to Aus
tralia, I'VE lost touch with the heavy
Japanese forces engaged" after they
disappeared beyond the radius of
out immediate means Of reconnais-
Sance."
But as you know" Admiral King
continued, "and as the japanese
know, we have considerable num-
bers Of submarines sprinkled about
the Western Pacific, and they were
able to give us a good deal OF at
least negative information"
Coral Sea Data Promised.
In a letter which the admiral in
corporated in his statement for the
purpose Of setting forth his views
on the necessity of withholding Ger
tain kinds of naval information, the
promise Of early information on the
Coral Sea battle was made more
specific. 1t may be released, Admiral
King said, perhaps during the COM
ing week, depending upon certain
developments related to the actions
now going on to the westward of
Midway Island"
Certain circumstances have pre-
vailed during the past few weeks,
particularly in regard to operations
in the Pacific, which have made it
advisable to withhold information
from the public" Admiral King said
in the letter, the addressee of which
was not named.
There is now no reason why re-
lease should not be made of actions
which took place prior to May l.,
except as to how the planes which
attacked Japan were enabled to
reach Japan-this because we have
every reason to believe that the JAP
anese do not yet know how it was
done"
In talking about the strength Of
the enemy's sea forces, Admiral
King commented that all American
naval construction now going on
was merely bringing Americas one
ocean Navy up to full strength un-
der the Washington treaty, and pro-
viding replacements for outmoded
craft. The first vessels of the new
two-ocean Navy, he said, will only
begin Ito appear in the picture in
about six months"
He said it would be two years
before the bulk Of the two-ocean
Navy is in service.
Against these facts, stands the
fact that Japan has been building
her navy furiously for several years.
Admiral King said, and at the start
of the war undoubtedly had a much
more powerful fleet than was pro-
vided for under the Washington
treaty which set up a 5-5-3 ratio
for the relative strengths Of the
navies Of the United States, Great
Britain and Japan.
Admiral King also reminded his
hearers that the principle of the
$3.50 ratio was that, under that
system. the American Navy, operat-
ing across the great distances of the
Pacific, actually would have q
strength no greater than that Of
the japanese in Japan's home
waters.
BY contrast, he said, if the jap
anese, under that system, tried to
come into "our waters they would
be at an even greater disadvantage"

company was within its rights in
negotiating regular hourly rate
with its employees.
Presumably Congress refrained
from attempting such a definition, "
Justice Byrnes said, because the
employment relationships to which
the act would apply were so various
and unpredictable
And that which it was unwise for
Congress to do, this court should not
do. 's'
Where the question is as close
as this one, it is well to follow the
congressional lead and to afford the
fullest possible scope to agreements
among the individuals who are
actually affected.
This policy is based upon COM
mon sense recognition OF the spe-
cial problems confronting employer
and employe in businesses where the
work hours fluctuate from week to
week and from day to day.
Many such employees value the
security Of regular weekly income.
They want to operate on a family
budget. to make commitments for
payments on homes and automobiles
and insurance"
Congress has said nothing to
prevent this desirable objective
This court should not"
Dissenting Opinion.
Justice Reed. in the dissenting
opinion in the Belo case, said that,
since the Wage-Hour Act provides
that overtime pay must at least
equal time and a half the regular
rate, employers and employees may
not be permitted to contract in
avoidance of the statutory require
ment."
Joining in Justice Reeds dissent
were Justices Black, Douglas and
Murphy.
Justice Reed said that by the de
vice" of the Belo contract, "astute
management may avoid many OF
the disadvantages of ordinary over
time, chief of which is a definite
increase in the cost Of labor as soon
as the hours worked exceed the
statutory work week.
IF the intention of Congress- "
Justice Reed wrote, lis to require
at least time and half for over
time work beyond a fixed minimum
number of hours. that intention is
frustrated by today's holding"
Government officials had con-
tended that an adverse decision
would "frustrate" what was called
"one OF the main purposes OF the
Wage-Hour Act-to discourage
overtime work"
Counsel for the Belo firm said the
company had guaranteed a weekly
salary above the amount required by
the act and that the agreed hourly
rates were intended to permit the
employees to continue to receive the
same salary paid before the legisla-
ton went into effect.
Basis Of Hourly Rate.
In most instances, it was said, the
hourly rate was obtained by dividing
the weekly guaranteed salary by 60.
This arrangement was said to give
consideration to the number OF
hours that had been worked each
week before the act became effec-
tive and to the irregular hours OF
newspaper and radio employees.
It was contended by the Belo firm
that if the act were intended to limit
overtime work such purpose was
square in the face of the needs Of
national defense"
The Justice Department replied:

1T is submitted that this court is
an inappropriate forum in which to
debate the merits of a congressional
policy which has been so clearly ex-
pressed and which, If change were

Pearl Harbor Partly Avenged.
1T was on a Sunday just six
months ago that the Japanese made
their peacetime attack on our feet
and Army activities on Oahu" said
Admiral Nimitz, in one of the three
communiques preceding last nights
AT that time they created heavy
damage, it is true, but their act
aroused grim determination of our
citizenry to avenge such treachery
and it raised. not lowered, the NOR
ale of our fighting men.
Pearl Harbor has now been par
TALLY avenged. Vengeance will not
be complete until japanese sea
power has been reduced to impo-
tence. We have made substantial
progress in that direction. Per.
haps we will be forgiven if we claim
we are about Midway to our OBJ
jective."
The opening stage of the battle
was a heavy raid on Midway, tiny
but strong defense outpost 1,l4s
miles northwest of Hawaii.
This took place early Thursday
morning by japanese carrier-based
planes. Army, Navy and Marine
Corps planes repulsed the raid, tax
ing heavy toll of the attackers
American forces quickly took con-
troll of the air despite the fact the
invading force had at least four
aircraft carriers. One battleship
and one aircraft carrier were
heavily damaged and other japanese
warships hit.
Battleships Ineffective.
On Friday, the repulsed invaders
were placed on the defensive and
sought safety in retreat, their four
or more battleships being ineffective
against American air superiority.
Several carriers, battleships, cruis-
ers and troopships were heavily
damaged as the retreat turned into
rout.
BY Friday morning American
forces in full offensive had partially
avenged Pearl Harbor. having in.
f1icted losses and casualties on the
Japanese greater than those in
volved at Pearl Harbor in the sneak
raid of six months ago.
American casualties, as announced
90 far, have been light.

TRAP SPRUNC:
On Jan Invaders

A stirring story of how Japanese
invading forces on the Burma road
were sent Keeling back by a surprise
blow from a trapped" Chinese
army was told by dispatches from
Chungking.
The Chinese on the Burma road
followed their prearranged plan.
They allowed the Japs to sweep into
Yunnan province and lengthen their
communication lines. The Japs adj
vanced triumphantly.
A strong Chinese army, which the
Japs had bypassed in central Bur
ma, struck hard into the exposed
rear lines of the invaders. The
naneuver cut off the main commu-
nication route and line of retreat of
the Japanese units, which had split
into two columns to try to outflank
the Chinese. One of these columns
was wiped out in the first "a hours
of fighting. The other forces were
expected to be ''liquidated within a
few days." said a Chinese COM

MALTA:
More Bombs

In a ceremony punctuated by fall
ing Nazi bombs, Great Britain's
Lord Gort was sworn in as the new
governor and commander-in-chief of
Malta, the 'most bombed spot on
earth"
Lord Gort took his oath of Office
amid the ruins of a building smashed
in a previous attack. Bombs were
falling throughout the proceedings
and the chief justice administering
the oath had his hand cut and bleed
ing from wound sustained during
the raid.
More than 10000 high explosive,
armor piercing bombs have been
dropped on Malta this year, accord
ing to an Alexandria, Egypt, source.
The island, lying off the coast of
Italy in the Mediterranean, has been
under constant attack by the Nazi
bombing forces because it guards
the vital Axis supply routes to At
RIGA and the Middle East.
, AS a result of these continuing
raids an official British check-up
shows that Malta's property losses
include 1880 homes, 70 churches,
Is converts, % schools and eight
hospitals. Seventy-five per cent of
the property in Valetta, the princi-
pal city, has been made uninhabita-
