Peter Fraser, New Zealand s
Prime Minister, arrived by all
here today at the invitation OF
President Roosevelt to spend
about 10 days in the United
States.
Almost his first words were warm
praise of the American fighting
men-"your men"-in New Zealand
and elsewhere in the Southwest
Pacific.
Mr.. Fraser exchanged greetings
with Secretary of State Hull, British
Ambassador Lord Halifax, New
Zealand Minister Walter Nash and
other officials who met his plane,
then said:
You may be very certain that
your boys are doing their best and
that they are on the very best of

We know what fine perform
ance they delivered on the Solomons

giving OF themselves everywhere.
Hurley Accompanies Him.

Hurley, American Minister to New
Zealand.
Among those at the airport was
Air Commodore Robert Victor God
dard, chief of the Royal New zea-
land Air Force, who arrived here
last week to discuss war strategy in
the New Zealand area.
The Prime Minister'S party went
directly from the airport to Blair

Pv TIE Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, Aug. 26. The
counterattacking Chinese have
occupied a point AZ miles from
Chuhsien and now are develop
ing concerted attack" on that
strategic Chekiang provincial
city from which Japan could be
bombed, the Chinese high COM
mand announced tonight.
Chuhsein is the site of the biggest
air field in China, built by the labor
of 100000 coolies.
The Chinese attack on it extends
the Chinese grasp on the Chekiang-
Kiangsi Railway to about 165 miles,
40 of them in coastal Chekiang in a
thrust from the west, the remainder
in Kiangsi in drives from both east
and west.
At one point in the present cam
paign the japanese held the entire
railway briefly.
Japanese Withdrawing.
The japanese today were reported
to be still drawing their forces to-
ward Nanchang, their big invasion
base in Northern Kiangsi Province
following Chinese recapture of
Tungsiang, SO miles to the south
east.
Tungsiang, which Chinese re-
ports said was reoccupied Monday
became the 18th important point in
East China regained by the Chinese
in the one week since the invasion
began receding in that area.
Like Shanghai, the first to be
wrenched from Japanese control
Tungsiang is a railroad center.
Fear of attacks on Japan from
Chuhsien was presumed to have
been the chief reason for the in
vaders' recent drives in the east.
Lishui Under Direct Attack.
A government spokesman said last
night that the Chinese people ex-
pect that China soon will be de-
veloped as a base of operations
against Japan.
He offered this comment on re-
cent Chinese successes in Kiangsi
and Chekiang Provinces shortly
after the Chinese high command
reported that Lishui, important base
from which Japan might be bombed,
was under direct attack by Chinese
forces.
"It is the general expectation of
the Chinese people, and think also
of our Allies, that with increasing
collaboration the Chinese Army and
the Allied forces will soon develop
powerful offensives against the en-
emy from the China theater," the
spokesman said.

By the Associated Press.


President osevelt today

radio addresses, one of which, on
September 3, will be directed to
the youth of the entire world.
The other, to be delivered August

Of the new Navy Medical Center
in Bethesda, on the Tooth ami
versary, of the founding of the
Navy's Bureau of Medicine and
Surgery
The White House disclosed also
that forthcoming presidential
speech centering on the problem of
spiraling living costs and imitation
probably would be on Labor Day.
MIR. Roosevelt had said yesterday
he expected on, before or after
Labor Day to send Congress a
message and make a radio address
to the country on a plan now
being evolved to combat imitation.
Assembly of Students.
The September speech will take
place at 1890 pm, and the imme-
diate audience will be an assembly
of the International Students Serv-
ice here, including students from
all of the United Nations.
Stephen Early, presidential sec
retary, said:
"The President will speak through
this assembly to the youth of the
world everywhere, in United Ma
tions and enemy countries, too, if
they con be reached, emphasizing
the duties, responsibilities and op-
portunities of youth in the days of
war and in the days of peace that
will follow"
Mr.. Early said an effort would be
made through the Army, Navy and
Office of War Information, to COM
plete arrangements for men on naval
and Coast Guard vessels and men in
military camps, wherever they may
be, to hear the Chief Executives
talk.
10-Minute Talk.
The August 81 address, which will
be about 10 minutes long, Secretary
Early said, Is set for about 4::30 pm.
The Navy will arrange for the
program to reach Navy units and
hospitals at stations all over the
world where representatives of the
Bureau of Medicine and Surgery
are on duty.
Many of the United Nations, in
cluding Russia, the Netherlands and
England, Mr.. Early said, are sending
Official delegates to the students
assembly.
China was unable to do so, he
said, but Nine. Chang Kai-shek,
wife of the Chinese generalissimo,
will designate her country's repre-
sentatives.
Mr.. Roosevelt revealed yesterday
at his press conference that he was
a plan to keep down
living costs by stabilizing both wages
and farm prices. He said both labor
and agriculture must make sacri-
fees, tough sacrifices, and that re-
strictions could not be placed on one
without being imposed on the other.
Swift Action Needed.
Indicating that the contemplated
new steps to hold down the cost of
living will be taken by executive
action, the President said he doubted
if there would be time to wait for

Hundreds Engaged In Vital Jobs In Big War
Plant; Whole Family Works At Inland Co..

This Is the last Of a series Of
articles on the Important part
being played by the Negro In
the nations war effort In the fac
tories and In the armies Of the
United States-( Reprint from CHI
cago SUM.
Nobody yet has had to worry
about employment OF Negroes in
the steel industry. Beginning with
the great migration from the South
during World War l. when Negroes
came 10 northern Industrial areas
for good jobs and better economic
opportunities. they've been hold
ing down jobs in the steel mills.
During the depression years. en-
ployment fell off among them just
as II did among whites, both ma
tive and foreign born. But today
it's different story. for the all
out war effort has the mills hum
ming 10 turn out steel.
In the Calumet region OF Chi
cagoland. thousands OF Negroes
labor in the roaring mills. Most OF
the colored population OF Gary and
East Chicago live there solely for
that purpose, and have been doing
so for years.
One plant with a long record OF
Negro employment is the Indiana
Harder works OF the Inland Steel
Co, which also has many other
nationalities and races on its ros-
ter. Most OF its Negro workers
started out as common laborers.
but today they are represented in
practically all departments Of the
plant. and In jobs ranging TO skill
ed machine and equipment opera
tors and samplers. And it's no
novelty to see Negro foremen and
assistant foremen heading crews
throughout the giant plant.
Whole Families Employed
Company records reveal cases
wherein all the male members OF
a family have been employed at
Inland. Take the Davidsons, for
instance. At one time. there were
eight Davidsons working here. con-
sisting OF the father and seven
sons. Three generations of the Lo-
gans have been on the payroll. And
the Gearines. Bridgemans. Slo-
Gums. Wiseners and Chamberses
are other families with many mem
bers employed at this plant.
A good many workers have long
continuous employment records.
There's a Twenty-Five Year club at
Inland. composed OF workers who
have been there quarter OF a
century without interruption. AL
ready several Negroes are MEM
hers. with more TO be included be-
fore the year ends. Latest addition
Is Orange Paxton. janitor foreman.

It's the labor policy OF the plant
to make no distinction as TO race.
creed or color. This means. sc-
cording to Inland officials. that all
employees have equal opportuni-
ties through promotional sequence
schedules in keeping with the SEN
iority OF the plant. In other words,
a mans service record and length
OF employment are the factors de-
termining upward grading.
Although exact figures are not
available, there are hundreds of
Negroes holding down skilled.
semi-skilled and supervisory as
signments at Inland. with the re-
suit that they draw the high wages
commensurate with their classical
ton.
Here are some OF their jobs;
over head electrical cranemen,
acetylene burners. billet clippers.
bulldozer operators. samplers.
benchmakers. rail drillers. furnace
chargers. and many others. Ne
groes are in 81 occupations at In

ders to the crew, which may in
clude American-born whites.
Inland officials are. OF course
