But it's not only the actuaI ply
steal changes in our everyday l1v-
ing that I've noticed. There's new
feeling in the very air, with the
automobile something to use only
when necessary and then, carefully,
at about 40 miles an hour instead
of an impudent so! We're Begin
ming to settle down and look around
us; to dig in, as it were, and dis
cover nearby friends and stores
and entertainment. We're beginning
to think again about the beginnings
of this country and why it was our
great grandparents were willing to
endure the hardships Of pioneer
life,
/ Bill who is IA, can for the first
time in his life understand what
the world might have been like SO
years ago before the railroad came
through this part of the country.
And Judy, whose boy friend can no
longer take her to dances 80 miles
ray, is beginning to get sorse
place with her knitting.
1t may be little difficult to adj
just ourselves to wartime world
in which there's a limit on cars,
tires, and perhaps on gasoline.
These things have become to us
Americans ...most as common as
air and water and just about Is
necessary. A while back we would
not have thought we could possibly
get along without them. Now we
know we cantor the sake of VIC
tory. In fact, we could get along
with horse and buggy and the
railroad to take us on long jour-
neys. So let's not complain but
make the most Of this time of en-
forced slowing down. Let's enjoy
our homes more and be friends with
people down the street. Let's find
fun and new health in, walking and
horseback riding and bicycling. And
let's get better acquainted with our
children.
When the war is over and the
automotive industry can turn from
war work to passenger vehicles
, once more, We'll have letter cars
than ever-because new things
about motors and streamlining are
being discovered every week. Well
have thousands more planes, too;
some say "flivver" planes for reg
ular family use and all say trans
ports for freight, as we'll as pas
sengers. This is the land of mass
production, you know-the country
where Industry can provide enough
of things to go all the way round
so that the workman, as we'll as
the executive and professional man,
can drive to work in his own auto
mobile. And where the future Ia al
ways more abundant than the past!

British Bombing Policy
Same, Sinclair Says
3, The Associated Press

6S me hSbOCldktO EIese
LONDON, April 29-Sir Archi-
bald Sinclair, secretary of state for
air, told a cheering House of Com
mons today that Britain's bombing
policy, exemplified by raids on
Lubbock and Rostock, remained the
same as always, ito destroy the
enemy capacity to make war
The air secretary's statement was
in answer to a question by LaboTite
Rhys Davies whether the intensi-
fed bombings meant a departure
from Britain's previously declared
policy Of attacking only military
objectives.
When Davis also asked Sinclair If
he had seen pictures of n-military
destruction in the German city OF
Lubbock members interrupted with
cries of What about Bath?"
The governments policy, Sinclair
declared, is Ito destroy the enemy
capacity to make war by bombing
his war factories, means of trans
port and military stores wherever
they may be found"
The ports of Lubbock and Rostock
he pointed out, supply the German
fronts in Finland and Russia, Ros-

BERN, April % (P).-Berlin street.
cars and subway trains are buzZing
with talk about the nightly R. A. F.
attacks on German cities and the
man on the street is fully awake
to the serious effects of these bomb
ings," the Berlin correspondent Of
the Basel National Zeitung reported
last night.
He said Berliners were greatly ex-
cited because Of the repeated bomb
ing of Rostock and Lubbock.
The ruins of the destroyed fac
tories in Rostock caught fire again
and again" he reported, and British
airmen prevented German police
and fire brigades from attacking the
flames promptly by diving over the
city, fighting with machine-guns
and cannon against every gathering
of men"
A military spokesman in Berlin
was quoted as threatening that if
the British bombed Stralsund, "ap-
propriate objectives' would be found
for counterattacks on England. The
Germans reported that leaflets were
dropped, warning the residents of
Stralsund, about IS miles northeast
Of Rostock, their city would be
bombed.

Union Heads Agree
On Plan 10 Settle All
Jurisdiction Disputes
Mediation and Arbitrutio,
Procedure Will Be Used
For Duration of War
Ey the Associated Press,

The presidents of the A. F. L.
and the c. I. o. were disclosed to-
day to have agreed on a pro-
cedure for settling all union
jurisdiction disputes for the
duration of the war.
In brief, the agreement provides
for mediation of such disputes by
labor's representatives on the War
Labor Board. If that fails, the
parties agree to resort to arbitra-
ton.
Under procedure worked out with
Philip Murray, president of the
c. I. O., and william Green, presi-
dent of the A. F.. L." said an an
nouncement by w. L. B. Chairman
William H. Davis, "all jurisdictional
questions in cases coming before
the War Labor Board will be re-
ferred as a matter Of course to the
labor members of the board for
adjustment. If any particular dis
pute cannot be settled by the labor
members. Mr.. Murray and Mr.. Green
will be so notified and they will
thereupon promptly appoint a
group or individual to make a final
and binding determination of the
dispute"
"Jurisdictional disputes" the
board chairman added, have al
ways been the most difficult to
settle, because of their very nature.
The American people will welcome
this agreement between the two
labor organizations for finally deter
mining all jurisdictional disputes
until the war is won"
The boards press release an
nouncing the agreement also in
cluded this statement:
This agreement will dispose not
only of disputes between unions af-
filiated with the two national or
ganizations but also disputes be-
tween unions within either which
affect the war effort"

japanese Warship
In Manila Bay Area
Enemy Air Attacks
On Correeidor and
Other Forts Lessen

American guns on the be-
leagured Manila Bay fortreSSes
sank a medium sized japanese
war vessel and silenced enemy
batteries in Cavite and Bataan
during the last 48 hours, a War
Department communique report
ed today.
Enemy air attacks on Corregidor
and the other bay forts lessened in
intensity, the communique reported,
while American gunners continued
to break up troop concentrations on
the Bataan and Cavite shores.
New Invasion Move Seen.
Meanwhile, it was reported the
japanese were increasing their
naval strength in the waters in the
central part Of the Philippine archi-
pelago. This may mean a move, it
was indicated, to occupy those is
lands in force.
GA Toxic radio broadcast said
japanese forces landed early
today at Cotobato, port on the
western coast of Mindanao, in
the southern part OF the archi-
pelago, and completed occupation
OF the place in four and a half
hours)
In Northern Luzon, enemy de-
tachments were reported advancing
against patrols sent out by small
units Of the American Filipino forces
near the southern end of the Caga-
yam Valley.
Panay Resistance Continues.
The morning communique, first
since Monday from the War De-
partment, reported that resistance
was continuing against the enemy
on Panay, where fighting was re-
ported in the vicinity of Alibunan,
small inland town and near San
Remigio on the west coast. Large
bodies of japanese troops have been
concentrated near Panay during the
last two days.
Reports OF the continued bonn
bardment and air raids on the
Manila Bay fortresses came from
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's head
quarters in Australia. Most of the
air attacks during the last two days
were made with dive bombers, but
these raids which have now num-
bered more than $50, were slacken-
ing noticeably.
Artillery duels, however, continued
relentlessly. 1t was during this
firing that the American gunners
sank the armed enemy vessel.
There was no report of damage
inflicted on Corregidor or the other
forts by either air raids or artillery
bombardment.

Americans had their cost sheet
for victory today in terms OF
hard work and sorrow and
blood" while the world stood in
formed that the fighting forces
of this Nation already are "in
actual combat over all the con-
tinentS and all the oceans"
That this is only the beginning on
"a tough job-and long one" was
made challengingly clear last night
as President Roosevelt presented to
the country by radio his most en-
bracing accounting of what has been
done in less than five months at
war-and what will be done.
In both categories there were
revelations not previously disclosed
to the American people, nor perhaps
known to the enemy.
Never before, for example, had 1t
been revealed that American war
ships are now in combat in
the Arctic, in the Mediterranean, :"
as well as in the Pacific and At
lantic; or that American troops
several hundred thousand have
taken stations in the Near
East. the Middle East" as we'll as

cans, are flying in actual combat
over all the continents and all the

Hints at Offensive.
Arresting, too, were the Presi-
dents hints, some bluntly fortnight
and others only more slightly veiled,
that the days of purely defensive
tactics and constant Withdrawals by
the United Nations are near the

Front in North Burma
Formed by Chinese

LONDON, April 20 (P,.-Chinese
troops were reported today hastily
forming front in Northern Burma
in desperate effort to head of
Japanese divisions driving north
from Monghai Ping toward the rail-
road east from Mandalay to the
Burma road.
British sources made no effort to
conceal the gravity of the situation
as a result of the Japanese break
through from Monghai Ping, 80
miles below Lashio, the railhead at
the junction with the Burma road.
One source put the Japanese
strength at about 100000 men, in
cluding 1000 in armored fighting
vehicles, on all the fronts in Burma.
Hope Monsoon Will Come.
Lacking man power, planes and
guns to withstand the crushing
power of their foe, the Allies were
resorting to every device to harass
the invaders spread-out columns,
block their roads, snipe, counter
attack and raise every possible time
consuming obstacle.
The sole hope of those tried fight
ers against the fresh, increasing
weight Of men and machines against
them was that the torrential rains
OF the mid-May monsoon would bog
the Japanese down before they
could shut the door to Free China.
The first gales and showers of
the tropical storms which will
drench Burma's valleys and spill
the rivers over their banks already
have come, but even the monsoon
will be no help if the invaders beat
1t to Lashio, where the railroad
from Mandalay joins the mountain
Gus Burma road to China.
The Paris radio broadcast a Toxic
report last night that one japanese
column had swarmed over the Shan
Mountains into Lashio. There was
no confirmation of this from other
sources, however.
Press Closer to Railroad.
Nevertheless, the japanese were
pressing relentlessly closer to the
railroad, and If they reached it in
time not only would they close the
Burma road, but they also would
outfank the defense forces to the
west and complete the squeeze of
Mandalay from east and west.
That they may succeed was indi-
Gated by an announcement that the
Burma civil government had quit
Maymyo, its temporary capital, 40
miles east of Mandalay on the rail-
road, and that the Chinese were
emptying Lashio of essential SUD-
plies.
The furthest reach of Japan's
tank-led spearheads on the eastern
flank south of the railway was placed
by the Chinese high command yes
terday at about go miles below Hsi-
paw, station between Mandalay
and Lashio, and ITO miles from
LaShio.
