These drums erupted like a VOL
cano after the first British bomb
hits. Succeeding waves of British
airmen dived toward this roaring
inferno to feed their bombs into
the cauldron which Immediately
illuminated the small supply ships
in the harbor
Other units then concentrated on
the ships, and their bombs sent
great geysers Of water over the
stricken vessels, one of which i'm
mediately went down by the stern.
The attack on Matruh was the
second big one in aeweek and fol-

not belittle the Nazi shore q sfenses.
Every plane living onto the port
was framed with exploding anti
aircraft shells-and yet every pilot
returned to his base here safely.
AS the airmen climbed out Of
their cockpits with that satisfied
feeling Of job we'll done, thew saw
another reassuring sight-truckloads
OF Italian prisoners being taken 10

ground fighting west of Ell Alamein.

0PA Weighs Price
Compensation After
Steel Wage Ruling
Officials Hint Firms
Suffering Hordships
Nay Get Increases
D: the Associated Press.


The Once OF Price Administra- :
ton, It was learned last night, is
studying the question OF whether
wage increases granted workers un-
der the War Labor Boards little
steel formula should entitle their
employer to compensating in
cres Sc in the price ceiling on his
product,
The consensus of officials IA
milar with the situation, but un-
willing to be quoted by name, was
that CPA would grant price in
creases to companies only when
actual hardship could be proved
and only when the pay boosts were
approved by WLB.
If this should prove to be OPA's
decision, it probably would expand
WLBs operations enormously, for
1t would mean that any employer
considering a pay raise would have
to get WLB's approval If he hoped
for subsequent price adjustments
from OPA.
The Accent daily increase granted
In the Little Steel case was based
on policy promulgated by WLB
under which workers could get in
creases In an amount sufficient to
restore the purchasing power of
their hourly wage to the levels of
January /, 1941. The board indi-
Gated it hoped the January /, 194l,
yardstick would become guide for
wage adjustment throughout the
war
The decision decognized a Is per
cent rise In the cost of living be-
tween the yardstick date and May
l. 1912, when President Roosevelt's
anti-innation program went into
effect.
Price Administrator Henderson
has told q Congressional Committee
that he favors control over wages In
order to prevent new punctures OF
the price ceiling resulting from In
creased purchasing power.
