U. 5. Air Headqualfer,
Is Set Up in India;
Offensive Mapped
War Will Be Carried to
Jopon's Home Islands,
Peirse Declares
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW DELHI, India, March 16.
A United States air headquar-
tiers has been set up in India, one
step in fast-developing prepara-
tions toward the avowed goal not
only of stopping the japanese in
Burma, but also of grabbing the
offensive in a drive against the
home islands of Japan.
This was disclosed yesterday by
Air Marshal Sir Richard Peirse, the
former chief Of the R. A. r. bomber
command in Britain. who has been
assigned to head the air front in
India.
The quietly confident air marshal
told q press conference q story of
growing aerial might and of deter
mination to make it help turn the
tide OF war on the Asian mainland
from the defensive to the offensive
for the United Nations.
I'VE are going to carry the war
into the enemy's country, into
Japan" he asserted. I'VE are not
going to be content to put up an
umbrella and sit underneath for the
enemy to come to attack U.s."
The arrival in increasing num-
bers Of the latest models of Ameri-
can and British warplanes was an
nounced by Marshal Pierse, who
gave this estimate of the air situa-
ton:
"Reinforcements are coming
through faster. Our plans are be-
ing accelerated. As far as the en-
emy air forces are concerned. air.
craft for aircraft, the British and
American types are superior. Man
for man, don't think we have any
fear Of the enemy. II we
can meet him on anything like
equal terms we can beat him from
the skies"
He had praise especially for the
American Volunteer Group, the fly
ers whose battle prowess the
Chinese acclaim with the title Fly
ing Tigers" and who, Marshal
Pierse said, have done magnificent
work"
They and the r. A. r., since the
Burmese campaign started, have ac-
counted for 200 Japanese planes
for loss Of A themselves" he de-
clared.
Effective Air Blows.
Air blows were proving effective,
meanwhile, in smashing Japanese
canoe conveys in the rivers and
truck conveys ashore moving north
ward to attack the British imperial
and Chinese forces strung across
central Burma 90 to 80 miles above
enemy held Rangoon.
The Colonial once in London an
nounced British steps to shape-uI
the defense Of Ceylon, the so-called
back line fortress" against JAP
anese invasion of India, by naming
Vice Admiral Sir Geoffrey Layton
as commander In chief of all British
forces on the Indian Ocean island
1t said Sir Geoffrey, 53-year -old
former commander of Britain's
China station. would direct naval
military, air and civilian defense
operations; in other words, AL
measures necessary" to safeguard
the island.

WLB Orders Equdl PdY To Women

Board in decision ordering the
Brown & Sharpe Manufacturing Com

principle of equal pay for equal work
for their 1900 workers.
In adopting a panel recommendation

company's offer to reduce the differ

for women to maximum of 20 per

The section of the boards opinion

that the Brown 4 Sharpe case was

RECOMMEND RAISE FOR
COPPER, LEAD MINERS

Washington, d. G. ILNS).. - The
majority Of a mediation panel has
recommended that the National War
Labor Board grant an increase of 1912
cents an hour to 10000 copper, lead
and zinc workers in Idaho and Utah in
order TO help turn Il tide Of migration
out Of the industry which has already
interfered with vital war production
and created IAN emergency war prob
lem of national significance"
In the cases before us" the panel
reported. the evidence overwhelmingly
establishes the existence Of an emer-
gency war problem. And our con
sidered Judgment is that the making
of fair wage adjustments will aid in
the solution Of the problem, and with
out such an adjustment the emergency
will deepen and the evil consequences
10 the war effort will be incalcuable
The panel estimated that the migra-
tion to higher paid jobs, which has
been going on since early this year, had
already drained nearly 30 per cent of
the working force in Idaho and Utah.

upon its women to produce the ma
terials with which it's men will fight.
In calling upon American women
to assume vital role on the industrial
front, the country has an obligation to
provide the utmost assurance that they
will not be subject to discriminatory
treatment in their compensation. They
have right to economic equality"
The board made allowances, how
ever, for certain instances where
women cannot perform the heavy labor
performed by men, and special arrange
ments, involving extra cost, must be
made to adapt an operation for women
workers, it said. To cover these cases
the board adopted the panel recon-
mendation, as follows:
"Where additional men are required
to supervise or to perform tasks nor
mally done by male operators, but
which cannot be done by women, the
extra labor costs will be computed and
will be given pro rata weight in estab-
fishing an equable rate Of pay for
female workers."

decision DR.. Taylor warned against

Trenton, N. Local Union 45 held
a very interesting meeting last Friday
evening. The turnout was exceptionally
good, showing that our members are
not asleep and that they intend to back
up their organization in any matter
relative to their welfare.
The debate was very spirited and
not without it's humorous side at times.
If any Brother had his toes stepped on,
it was only for his own good.
Stop and think Brother what would
happen if all of us acted the way some
seemingly wish to. DO we want to have
a decent job, or do we want to work
like galley slave from whistle to
whistle? Don't forget you are setting
the pace and hours for everyone else
as we'll as yourself. Let us not be
selfish in these matters.
Some of our problems were reported
as having been Strengthened out since
our last meeting and we believe most
of the difficulties brought up at this
one will be cleared up before our next
meeting.
Our management makes mistakes
just the same as any other human be-
ing and we only wish that some of our
members would show the same willing
ness to correct them as they do.
The ma ajority of our members are
willing to rectify their mistakes, but
we do have a few stubborn ones, which
is only natural out of some 300 men.
The only excuse they have is that
someone else is doing wrong, or has
that attitude is what we are to govern
ourselves by, then the end will be
utter confusion and disorganization,
