laps Exhort India
To Reject British Offer

TOXIC From japanese Broad
casts, April 6 tP.-Premier Gen.
Hideki TOTO told India's millions
today that great calamities" would
be unavoidable" in the course of our
subjugation of British forces" in
India.
THE hint that Japan's course
Is set for an attack on India
occurred at several points in the
Premier's statement, an eXhorta-
ton to India to reject Britains
offer Of postwar independence)
TOTO recalled Japan's progress
through Malaga, Burma and the
Andaman Islands in the Bay of Ben
gall and added
The grim determination of our
empire to crush the United States
and Britain is thus being steadily
translated into action.
IF India should remain, as before,
under the military control of Britain,
1t would, I am afraid, be unavoid-
able in the course of our subjuga-
ton of British forces there that In
dia suffer great calamities."
At another point he commented
that British influence in India is
now about to be exterminated."
Tomokazu Hori, spokesman of the
information board. In a similar ap-
peal, declared it does not matter
who obtains command of the armed
forces in India, 'the only way left is

The raid followed Saturday at
tacks on Koepang and Lac, New
Guinea, in which IL Japanese planes
were reported destroyed on the
ground and IA others damaged. No

Commondofke Raid
Staged on Indies Port

NEW YORK, April s CP.-Aus-
trallan sailors and airmen conducted
a Commandolike raid on an uniden-
tined Netherlands Indies port held
by the Japanese recently, spirited
away war equipment and DESTROYED
other material, the Sydney radio
said yesterday.
The sortie possibly was in Western

raider returning through the Sunda
Strait-the narrow water that sepa-
artes the two overrun islands.
Valuable equipment had been left
on the wharf when the port was
evacuated" the radio account, heard
by c. B. S, said. The enemy was
only q few miles of, but corvettes
were sent at full speed to get the
equipment away They landed air

naval ratings watched the jungle
paths.
While the equipment was loaded
gasoline was poured over trucks and
cars and the munition dump was de-
stroyed"

200 survivors from a torpedoed mer-
chant ship while returning home

Jap Landing at Akyob
Reported From Berlin

BERLIN (from German broad
casts, April 8 (P).-The German
radio said today it was officially an
nounced in Toxic that japanese
troops had made a surprise landing
at Akayab, West Burma port within
100 miles of the Indian frontier.
"a Chinese Army spokesman
announced in Chungking last
week that the japanese had
landed at Akyab, but the British
denied this and the Chungking
spokesman said later his state
ment had been incorrect. Thus
far Toxic has not reported d.
rectly any Akyab landing)
The German broadcast said the
Japanese started a thrust from Ak
yah toward the British rear and
added that the japanese now might
use Akyab as one of their main sea
and air bases in operations against
India.

Don't Destroy Labor Gains,
Mrs. Roosevelt Advises
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 6.-Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt last night
urged retention of the machinery
by which labor can bargain with the
employer" declaring there are
abuses in organized labor which must
be changed, but changes can only be
made in an organization which ex-
lists. so we must be careful not to
destroy it
Making her final broadcast OF a
sponsored series, Mrs. Roosevelt said:
Il am sure that labor and man
agement as a whole are ready TO
match sacrifices of youth in the
armed forces, by working such hours
as will give us the greatest produc-
ton: by limiting pay when the cost
of living is stabilized, and when
profits are controlled.
These things must be done. but
neither the men in the armed forces
nor the men and women here at
home must forget that the machin-
cry by which labor can bargain with
the employer was won by the COM
bined efforts of men of good will in
both labor and management, but the
sacrifices and the main fight have
been made by unionized labor"

stated that graying hair indicates that

competent physician will tell you that
vitamins can not produce melanin. And
without melanin you can not restore

The most successful known method
for re-coloring gray hair is to simply
wet it with Canute Water. A few
applications will completely reoolor it

Recent articles in the press have
raised the hopes of millions of men
and women to the possibility of banish-
ing gray hair by taking certain vitamins.
The most immediate interest in this
subject oenters on the report recently
published in a well-known household
magazine. This is by two scientists
who conducted experiments on IS men
and women with vltamin factor
known as calcium pantothenate Each
of these people took dose of this
vitamin every day for 6 months AT
the end of that time it was found that
a few gray hairs on the heads of y
of them showed a little color near
the roots
Itmaybe properly questioned whether
even this negligible showing was the
result of vitamin treatment. For it so
happens that a number of other scien-
fists have also been experimenting on
humans with this same vitamin and
they have not reported any case where
the color of the hair was even partially
restored.
In all fairness, it should be noted
here that in the magazine article of
the two scientists above referred to,
no claim was made of success in re-
ooloring even single head of gray hair.
In the light of these facts it may
be asked - Is it possible to color
hair with vitamins?

sue of this Country's leading medical
journal, one Of the worlds most famous

Senate Group Plans
To Force Action on
Longer Work Week
Lee and Pepper Seek
Republican Support
For Labor Measure

A new move was afoot in the Sen
ate today to force action on bill
suspending the 40-hour week and
restricting labor activities IN war
industries despite administration op-
position.
At the same time, Chairman
Summers of the House Judiciary
Committee, declared Congress would
suspend the 40-hour law in mo-
ment If President Roosevelt would
give the word. In Dallas for Easter,
Representative Summers was quoted
bv the Associated PreSS as saying
that there Is no question but that
Congress would give any additional
legislation within reason which the
President might request to deal WIN
the labor situation"
The Senate group which is plan
ming action is headed by Senator'S
Lee of Oklahoma and Pepper OF
Florida, Democrats. Members said
they hoped to bring to the floor
within two weeks a measure IN
dorsed by a relatively large number
of Democrats and Republicans.
Hope to Avoid Committee.
They would attempt. 1t was ex-
planned, to bypass the Senate Edu-
cation and Labor Committee. Chair
man Thomas of Utah has opposed
enactment at this time of any labor
legislation. Senator Thomas has
been supported in this stand by
Majority leader BarkleV.
Despite this opposition, members
OF the group said they felt that II
they could get an appreciable num-
Der of Senators to agree on the gen.
eral principles of labor measure,
they would have fighting chance
of getting it passed,
An opportunity to get such bill
before the Senate may be presented
April 20, when the chamber will
consider a motion to take up bill
by Senator Connally. Democrat, OF
Texas. authorizing the Government
to operate strike-bound war plants.
The Connally measure would breeze
working Notwithstanding union
contracts-in those plants. but would
permit adjustment of wages by a
special board.
Voluntary Agreements.
There have been clear indications
that the administration hopes to
fight the Connally bill with volun-
tary agreements reached soon be-
tween labor and management on
lengthening of the work week, either
to A or 48 hours at regular pay,
with overtime to be paid thereafter.
The wage-hour law now requires
time and one-haf pay for work in
excess of 40 hours weekly.
However, Senator Pepper told re-
porters he believed that the public
would not be satisfied until legis-
lation was enacted definitely estab-
fishing the 48-hour week and pro-
hibiting the collection of excessive
initiation fees by unions.
In a related development, the
American Federation of Labor and
the C. I. o. announced that they
were uniting in a joint radio pro-
gram, to be carried as a weekly fea-
ture by the National BroadcaSting
Co., TO tell the country what labor
Is doing to win the war.
