WARNING IS
BROADCAST
TO NIpp0N5
Told Indications Probable
that U. 5. Planes May
Make Raids

TOKYO, March 23-(From jap
anese Broadcast)-The japanese
were told today of the prospects
of United States planes raiding
Japan, either from the Aleutian
Islands or Chinese bases, or both.
Lieut.. Gen. Kobayashi, commando
er of the Japanese home defenses,
urged the people. in radio adj
dress, to maintain the greatest
watchfulness and warned that
weather conditions in Alaska and
the bow-like chain of Aleutian Is
lands will soon permit raids on
Japan and "the enemy is working
out plans for an attack in the North
Pacific"
He pointed out that the United
States effort to reinforce Gen. CHI
ang Kai-sheks air forces might
result in attempts of an attack
on Japan from bases in unoccu-
pied China.

WASHINGTON-S very hero
ic stories have appeared in the
newspapers recently telling how
sailors have lived for days on RATS
after their ships were sunk by
Nazi submarines.
What these stories do not tell,
however, is the growing unrest
among seamen because of the tre-
mendous loss of life from these
sinkings. Not only are skilled sea-
men likely to become scarce along
the Atlantic coast, but their lead
ers are warning that something
must be done to remedy the tragic
situation.
The exact number of men lost
with each ship is published by the
Navy daily. And all you have to
do is take a paper and pencil to
figure the total losses. They are
terrific. From some ships only one
or two survivors have been picked
up. This is in contrast to rescues
from British ships of about AZ
percent.
There are two reasons for this:
/. u. S. vessels have been chiefly
tankers, which spread oil on the
water. This catches fire and burns
the men. or else the oil clingS 10
them, weighing them down.
2. The Navy has not been doing
a good job of parolling the At
lantic Coast.
The latter conclusion is now re-
garded in Washington as inescap-
able. Not only are we losing more
ships than we are building, but
some steamer captains complain
that in a single day they have
sighted only one patrol plane.
Biggest complaint, however, Is
that the Navy will not permit U.
S. fishing vessels off the Atlantic
coasts to carry radio sending sets.
u. S. fishermen have volunteered
to help patrol the coasts, watch for
submarines, also pick up survivors
However, without radio transmit
tiers they cannot report submar-
ines if they should see one.

By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 23-The
efforts to stem the tide of hui
mainly moving toward Washington
by warning parasites to get out
of town and moving handful of
government agencies to other cities
have proved about as effective as
trying to bail out the ocean with
a sieve. The federal powers that
be are now preparing to ACT.
The President has ordered a re-
survey of personnel requirements for
the balance. of this fiscal year and
the fiscal year 1942-43, on the
basis of the new 44-hour work
week. He says specifically that
every man and woman not abso-
lutely needed must be released for
war work. He further has ordered
that the Bureau of the Budget
resurvey the entire government per-
sonnet set-up, here and in the field,
to determine the relationship Of
appropriations to necessary man

Government surveys are a dime

stances, there would be no reason
to believe that either Of the two
mentioned would result in action.
But there are important forces

CONFERENCE
WITH LABOR
Says Double Pay Must Be
Suspended : Senate
Debate Gets Hot

WASHINGTON, March 23--War
Production Board Chief Donald M,
Nelson told CLIO leaders today that
labor must suspend for the dur
alton of the war the privilege" of
receiving double pay for work on
Sundays and holidays.
Said Nelson: I'VE are moving as
fast as we can toward seven
day, three shift operation in our
basic war industries on the prin-
ciple that man should regularly
have the seventh day off and
should receive overtime pay If an
emergency forces him to work that
seventh day
That is perfectly sound, but
where the seventh day doesn't fall
on Sunday or holiday, I don't
think that to work on a Sunday
or holiday deserves extra pay"
Leaders of CLIO unions through
out the nation have been called to-
gether by their president, Phillip
Murray, to organize a campaign
against the adoption by Congress
of the pending legislation sus-
pending the 40-hour week and elm
mating overtime payments for the
duration.
AS Nelson talked to the union
lists, the Senate appeared to be
nearing a showdown on the bill
and a strongly supported movement
to force some of the pending legis-
lation out of committee to floor
debate was noted. 1t was report
ed that Administration leaders,
guided by indications that the
President is not prepared to recon-
mend enactment of the restrictive
measures, are battling an incipient
rebellion in their own ranks.

A combined American and Aus

work under the aggressive influence
of Gen. Douglas Macarthur, struck
devastating new blows at the nor
thern arc of the japanese air pow
er on Sunday. Twenty three planes
of the Nippon forces were wrecked
in three attacks.
The attacks were made on the
japanese right wing on Timor Is
land where the wreckage of planes,

Despite the heavy losses which
are hard to replace, fighter planes
of the Japanese accompanied bomb
ers in an attack against Port
Moresby in retaliation. Australians
admit the attack was the heaviest
so far on that city.
The Japanese also attacked
Wyndham, western Australia.
The attack on Port Moresby
showed the Japanese have retained
considerable striking power despite
the weekend losses.
No report of the damage at Port
Moresby has been received up to
early afternoon today.

sBallerina' Dress
Delights the Young

AS compromise, here is an eve
ming dress that looks festive but not
too formal. 1t is a new type Of
frock-the ballerina dress, which
has recently made its appearance
in the fashion picture.
AS it's name implies, this new
frock is full-skirted and ankle
length. 1t really is a forerunner of
the short-length evening dress.
Young, pretty and so new is this
dainty dress. The prettiest of ma
terials 60 into it's making. Lovely
prints yield beautifully to the bal
lerina silhouette. Perhaps most
charming of all are the ballerina
dresses made of lace. The bodices
that top the ballerina skirts are pur-
posely styled with the utmost sim
plicity, have short sleeves, fit snug
ly and add to their lure with deep.
cut square or heart-shaped neck
lines.
A most significant sidelight on the
ballerina vogue is that the junior
and teen-age girls are so fascinat-
ed with the idea they are adopting
the fashion for daytime dresses of
gay chintz and crisp cottons.

w ELcoME the new prints!
w They are gay, they are lovely,
they are everything you want them
to be in the way of chic and refresh
ing novelty. It's going to be a
most exciting time for prints from
now on. Not only are they putting
in much earlier appearance than
usual, but they are strikingly novel
in both color and design
Smartly in keeping with the vogue

and color to the winter wardrobe,
charming rayon prints are appear
ing in such an ut-of-the-ordinary
assortment that they set new high
in zestful color and originality.
Speaking of the unusualness of
new print design, you'll be thrilled
with the charm of the new lace
prints which fashion enthusiastical-
ly features this season. They are
simply stunning! In some instances
the lace motifs are so strikingly
realistic it almost seems as if they
were appliqued to their background.
However, you will find it is really
artfully printed patterning. Many of
these lacy prints are combined with
gorgeous florals
1t is just such lavish lace designs
as pictured to the right in the fore
ground of the group illustrated that
are calling forth obs and abs from
print-seeking enthusiasts. Here the
patterning captures the delicate
tracery of lace paper doilies and the
color glory of chrysanthemums for
striking print design on fine ace
tate rayon jersey. The styling of
this winsome midseason dress con-
veys a message of soft draping and
a very important message it is,
too, for the newer silhouettes are
making a feature of slenderizing
drape technique.
An outstanding new treatment
found in the new prints is that of
widespread, brilliant forals that

what's new for immediate wear.
