Only items on the list, with
minor exceptions, will be assign
ed shipping space on vessels con-

Among the exceptions would
be the movement of certain low
rated cargoes, such as bananas,
Scotch whisky and rum from
the Caribbean area, United
States territories and posses
sions,, the British Isles, Canada
and Newfoundland to fill space
when vessels are not entirely

On the list of 500 articles are
items such as oils, wool, sugar,
copper and other ores, coffee

In some instances, to save
shipping time, vessels which un-
load at foreign ports where none

for return shipment will return
empty, the WPB said.

To gain air superiority is the
job of fighter planes and pilots.
While Russia has not, as far as
has been revealed, asked for pi-
lots, she has continuously called
for more pursuit ships.
1t follows that if the United

some of the men to maintain

MANPOWER:
And Production

There was much discussion
throughout government, industry
and labor circles regarding the adj
visibility of increasing the number
Of hours in the standard American
work-week.
General opinion seemed to be that
to increase the standard number of
hours from 40 to 48 was a good step
but further than that few wanted
to 60.
President Roosevelt at his press
conference disclosed some interest
ing data on the subject. He said
that intelligence reports show that
last spring the German government
decided to greatly increase the
Work-Week, especially in certain mu-
nitions plants where the number of
weekly hours went up from 70 to 80.
For about two months, Nazi produc-
ton greatly increased but then be-
gan to slip until the time came when
the output Of the 70-to-80-hour work.
week was actually less than the for
mer 48-hour week.
Latest monthly reports of U. S.
war production show that the ma
tons industrial machine continues
to gain speed as it rolls along; mu-
nitions production was up per cent
over the month before; airplane pro-
duction up 10 per cent; ordnance z
per cent; navy and army vessels %
per cent and merchant ships 10 per
cent.

moved the last vestige of resist
ance.
The feat of one eager American
combat force was reported in early
commune ations. One of the few
submarines which reached the con-
voy disabled a transport, packed
with the combat force. Instead of
waiting to be towed back to port
by the destroyers, the army COM
mander ordered his men to take to
their assault boats, tiny, fat-bot-
toned craft designed only for short
forays to landing beaches. With de-
stroyers as an escort the strange
armada sailed 100 miles through
rough water to land at one of the
many beachheads. The seasick SOL
diers stuck to their posts throughout
the dangerous journey and achieved
what military men termed a feat
without parallel in such an opera
ton.

Weekly sAnaIys
North African Campaign Aimed Aiding British Egyptian Drive

He spent much of his speech in a
review of the war and was careful
to stress the fact that there would
be no German capitulation as in
1918. He drew a parallel between
himself and Kaiser Wilhelm, saying
that:
THE kaiser was a man who did
not have strength to see things
through :" But Hitler indicated
that he would have more strength
in the hour of crisis: "All the time
from my boyhood I have kept the
bad habit Of having the last word"
Observers took the tone of his
speech to mean that the trend of
worrying noticed lately among Ger
man citizens had finally reached
the stage where officials were in
clined to counter with an answer
at least in words.
Hitler said that so far in this war
$4,000 Germans had been killed. He
admitted the going was tough but
claimed that Stalingrad was in Nazi
hands. Russian authorities would
probably admit that the going was
tough but their figures of German
dead run much higher and up until
the time Hitler spoke there was no
indication that the Reds had lost
Stalingrad.

VICHY:
Breaks Relations

Meanwhile, the government of
Marshal Petain, chief of state in
Vichy, France, broke relations with
the United States. Pierre Laval,
as chief of government, summoned
S. Pinkney Tuck, U. S. charge d af-
flares at Vichy, and informed him
that relations between France and
the United States were broken off.
Thus was ended a strong bond of
friendship which had persevered for
many decades and which lasted
through almost a year of war be-
tween the United States and
Frances German conquerors.
At Washington press conference
Secretary of State Cordeu Hull dis
closed that the United States rela-
tions with Vichy had served their
purpose and that the United States
no longer cares what attitude the
Vichy government takes. He point
ed out that the major reason for
maintaining relations was to pre-
pare for the drive into Africa. Past
relations with Vichy aided the
groundwork for that operation.
Petain took his action after talk
ing to his highest advisers, includ-
ing Laval and Gen. Maxine Wey-
gand, former pro-consul for French
North Africa. Early fragments of
information reaching Vichy gave
isolated reports of at least 10 Ameri-
can landings, air and sea lombard
ments and De Gaullist Fighting

were reported ashore in an area ex-
tending over about $50 miles of
Frances North African coast on the

INTER-UNION ROW:
Affects Detroit Firms

Because of alleged interference
with their organizational efforts by
members of the United Automobile
Workers (CIO), 1000 workers left
their jobs in a half dozen Detroit
war plants, suspending operations
in the production of vital war ma
terials.
The strike was Detroit's largest
since Pearl Harbor. It was called
off at the end of the first day after
War Labor board intervention. In a
single day it forced the shutdown Of
Is Detroit ia ctories.

ROMMEL:
Distance Runner

The battered remnants of Field
Marshal Erwin RommeIs African
army had new worries. Pursued re-
lentlessly by the British Eighth
army, the arrival Of American
troops in Algeria launched a pow
erfully equipped spearhead of power
at Rommeps back. The pincers ap-
peared to be closing.
Official British announcements
told how the Germans abandoned
their Italian allies to capture or an
Inhalation. A Cairo dispatch said
that six entire Italian divisions have
been captured complete with all
their equipment. ''It seems clear"
said a British war bulletin, ''that
the Germans withdrew without at
tempting to extricate any of the Ital-
ian infantry formations"
The fleeing Axis armies already
had left Mersa Matruh far behind.
Halfaya (Hellfre) pass, a narrow
defile leading into Libya's arid re-
gions, doomed ahead. Even though
the Nazis get through Halfaya pass,
they are confronted with new obsta-
cles. They have lost the bulk of
their armored forces and most of
their Italian support. They are a
long way from home and face the
possibility of being cut off. Should
the battle be fought out in the Lib
yam desert, it will be possible for
the British to flank the remainder of
Rommel's men. This they could not
do at Ell Alamein because of the
sea on one side and the Qattara
depression on the other.

FIRST BLOWS:
Cain ObiectiUes

Even as the city of Algiers fell to
attacking United States troops, Off
cial communicates from Allied North
African headquarters announced
new successes in the second front
drive to forestal1 an Axis invasion
of French territory.
The Algerian port Of Oran was
reported in American hands, as was
nearby Arzew. The equalization Of
A1giers, first announced by Vichy
and later confirmed by Lieut. Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower in North At
RIGA, provided for American occupa-
ton of the city.
Before the city had surrendered,
American combat teams and Ran
gers had captured two air fields in
that area and a third near Oran.
Possession of the airdromes will en-
able Allied forces to beat off Axis
air attacks from Sicily and Sar-
dina and gives Mediterranean con-
voys much-needed aerial protection.
From Allied headquarters in AT
RIGA came word Of heavy fighting
from several French naval units and
shore batteries at Algiers and Oran
ports, but this was dealt with by
British and American naval forces.
Coastal defenses at Algiers, manned
by Admiral Darlan's navy, sank two
light Allied vessels in the harbor.
Big guns from some of the greatest
warships afoat put an end to the
opposition.
