Business, Labor Chiefs
Promise 10 Keep
War Goods F|owinq
Roosevelt Is Informed
At Conference Of Plans
For Joint Cooperation
BY GARRETT d. HORNER.

Leaders Of organized labor and
management pledged whole
hearted cooperation for unin-
terrupted war production" to
President Roosevelt today as the
President studied new steps to
keep the cost of living under con-
troll.
A statement reaffirming ''the unity
of purpose and action of American
management and labor" was pre-
sented to Mr.. Roosevelt by repre-
sentatives of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations, the United
States Chamber of Commerce and
the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
Mr.. Green told reporters as the
group left the White House that the
discussion did not extend to new
measures being considered to combat
imitation.
I'VE did not 60 into that" Mr.
Green said when asked if the pledge
OF cooperation covered the new
steps expected to be taken by the
President to curb rising farm prices
and widespread movement for
wage increases that are threatening
his anti-inf1ation program.
Mr.. Green said the high-cost-of-
living problem was being dealt with
separately by each side" Mr.
Roosevelt had later conferences
scheduled today with labor leaders
eliminating in meeting of the
Labor War Board, composed of AFT
and CIO representatives.
Meanwhile, the President was be-
lleved to be considering the posi-
bility of putting new price and
wage control measures into effect
by executive action without waiting
for new legislation.
Whether he will ask Congress for
new authority to curb imitation was
said to depend on results of a study
being made of the extent of his
present powers under the two war
powers acts and the basic price
control law.
The labor management pledge OF
cooperation to prevent any inter-
ruption of war production was pre-
sented to Mr. Roosevelt by Mr.
Green. Philip Murray, CIO presi-
dent; Eric A. Johnston. president
of the Chamber of Commerce, and
William P. Witherow, manufac-
turers' president.
The group decided at meeting
here Tuesday night to confer with
the President today. it was dis
closed, and made plans to maintain
contact through future informal
meetings to attempt to iron out any
obstacles that may threaten war
production.

President follows:

AuchinIeck Army
Attacks in EI
Alumein Sectors
By the Associated Press.

CAIRO, July 23.-Gen. Sir
Claude Auchinleck's army of the
Nile, attacking simultaneously on
all sectors of the Ell Alamein
front for the first time, was re-
ported today to have driven back
the Axis center in violent fight
ing mounting steadily In in
tensity.
United States four-motored bombers
joined the Raj in smashing anew
at Tobruk. Ain ell Gazala, Salum,
Fuka, Matruh and many other Axis
air and supply bases Tuesday night,
British air sources said.
A communique from Gen. Auch-
lnleck's headquarters indicated that
the British assault had pushed
stoutly resisting enemy forces from
some OF their positions on the Ell
Ruweisat Ridge and that the gains
had been consolidated.
To the north and south the battle
apparently still was raging incon-
clusively, with British imperials
striking savagely at the Axis fianks
in see-saw melee.
Gains Reported Elsewhere.
Fighting in the coastal sector, the
British communique disclosed, CEN
tered mainly around Tel el Elsa. Ell
Makh Khad Ridge three miles to
the southeast, and Meteiriya, three
miles further south.
Semi Official advices from the
front indicated that the British
had gained some ground both in
this area and on the southern
hank, although Gen. Auchinleck's
headquarters was not specific on
this point.
In London. military experts said it
was obvious that the British chief
tain had been heavily reinforced
In armor and artillery and was
moving forward in all sectors with
the intention of forcing a decisive
battle.
while cautious about making
predictions, these quarters be-
heved that Gen. Auchinieck had
achieved a good measure of sur
prise and they appeared quietly
optimistic OF the outcome.)
Raj Activity Hit by Storm.
Heavy duststorms were reported
. to have limited the support which
the Raj was able to give British
ground forces in the early phases of
the battle yesterday morning, but
later In the day bombers and fight
ers entered the fight on the central
front with telling effect.
Many direct bomb hits were scored
on enemy tanks, armored cars,
trucks and gun positions, head
quarters declared. Axis air activity
apparently was on a comparatively
small scale.
Tanks which presumably had been
disabled and which had been dug
into the sand as pillboxes, were
among targets of the Raj planes,
which scored 10 direct hits and as
many near misses on enemy
vehicles.
Axis air activity remained on a
small scale although a few dive
bombers were up.
The Raj reported one Axis plane
was shot down over the battle front
and two more over Malta. Loss of
seven British planes were acknowl-
edged.
First Attack In Center.
The battle was joined first in the
central sector. where British i'm
perials struck boldly at Axis troops
holding the western end of Ell
Ruweisat ridge.
The fighting spread out along the
entire front yesterday morning when
British troops on the northern and
southern fianks joined in the assault
1t was the first time the British
were on the attack on all sectors
OF the Ell Alamein front simultan-
eously.
