FBI Checking
New Wolkout
By RAYMOND LAIR
United Press Staff Correspondent

OuAbCu ACoo Ctdh
Washington, June 29-(UP)-Fed-
eral agents were believed today to
be investigating the continuing coal
strikes and two new walkouts which
have occurred since the federal an
ti-strike law was enacted.
A justice department official said
investigations would be started
whenever strikes occur. 1t could not
be determined definitely that in
quiries were under way in connec-
ton with the coal strikes and stop
pages at a Detroit Chrysler plant
and the Best Foods Corp, Bayonne,
N. j. plant, as justice department
policy forbids discussion of investi-
cations that are under way.
Officials of the department appar-
emily still were uncertain how they
will proceed in enforcing the new
law. 1t was learned that no decision
has been reached on which unit CT
the criminal division will handle
prosecutions.
The Chrysler and Best Foods
stoppages apparently violated the
act, but there are no criminal penal
ties for such violations. The law re-
quires union representatives to give
notice of labor dispute to govern
ment authorities. Employees must
continue working for 30 days pend
ing strike ballot under supervision
Of the National Labor Relations
Board. Hence strike can begin
only after a favorable vote taken 30
days after notice has been given.
In an illegal walkout. the strikers
or strike leaders would be liable
only for civil damages. The Law
makes any person failing to carry

bombers against the city.
Most formations, however, were
being intercepted by Soviet fight
ers some distance from Leningrad.
In one engagement alone, fighters

Navy Attacks
Jap Ships In.
SoIomons Isle

Washington, June 9-CUP)-The
Navy today reported bombing at
tack on a small concentration of
light Japanese naval units in the
central Solomons and continued aer-
ial blows against Kiska in the Aleu-
tians.
The Nays war bulletin did not
specify the types of vessels in the
enemy force but a Naval spokesman
said it probably included a destroyer,
some patrol craft and perhaps motor
torpedo boats. American airmen at
tackled the concentration at night
and results could not be observed.
Meanwhile, erican flyers
smashed at the enemy's positions in
the Kiska area eight more times.
Six of the raids were made on Sun
day and hits were scored on the
main camp area.
On Monday, Army and Navy
bombers hit japanese positions on
Kiska and little Kiska, tiny island
just off the eastern shore of the
main Japanese base. Hits were re-
ported on houses at Little Kiska,
which figured in the Nays COM
muniques for the first time.
In the So lemons, dive and torpedo
bombers and fighter planes struck
at Rekata bay, enemy submarine
and seaplane base on Santa Isabel
island and at Munda on New Geor-
gia island. The bomb explosions at
Rekata bay threw up so much smoke
and dust that the flyers could not
see how much damage they had
done. Fires we're started among de-
fensive positions, in ammunition
dumps and in the camp section at
Munda.
All American planes returned
from all of these aerial forays in
both the north and south Pacific.

No Tire Requirements For
Eastern a Card Motorists

/. In the eastern gasoline short
age area, where the 80 miles a
month in an A book is all for non
occupational driving = drivers who
hold only A cards cannot get re-
placements: they can still have
their present tires recapped where
needed without getting rationing
certificates.
2. Outside the shortage area,
where the A book is good for 240
miles a month the applicant for
tires must show he uses his car for
an essential purpose. Thus driver
having only an A card must use his
car for occupational purposes. 1t
also means that the applicant must
meet certain other tests, including
formation of q ride-sharing club
where possible, or establishing the
lack of reasonably adequate alter
native means of transportation.

Allied Headquarters, North
Africa, June 20. - One hun
dred American Flying For
tresses looSed a nine-minute
thunderbolt raid on the Ital-
ian port of Leghorn, 200
miles north of Rome, yester-
day, damaging a light cruiser
and four supply ships and fir
ing oil refinerles, it was an
announced today.
Authorities believed the cruiser
was being used as training ship.
The raid came just ore month to
the day after a similar force of
Flying Fortresses hit Leghorn,
which lies so miles southeast of
Spezia on the Liqugirian Sea, and
damaged four ships, a large Oil re-
finery and railway installations.
The rounG-Llip fight of 1900
miles topped night and day in
which other planes from the north
west African air forces raked AK
air fields the length and breadth of
Sardinia and blasted San Giovanni
at the toe of the Italian boot.
Twelve enemy planes were shot
down, all but one by American me-
dium bombers during their attacks
on Sardinia. Only two Allied planes
were lost in all attacks.
Gan Italian communique said that
Reggie Salabria, also in the toe of
the Italian boot, and Messina, Sicily,
likewise had been bombed)
British wellington bonn Der S
launched the latest series of at
tacks by Allied planes against Pre-
mier Mussolini's battered domain
with an assault Sunday night on the
railway yards at San Giovanni, one
of the mainland termini of the i'm
portant ferry line to Sicily.
American Medium bombers took
over in daylight, concentrating on
Sandman airfelds. Mitchells, with
an escort of Lightnings, bombed the
barracks, administrative buildings,
hangers and dispersal areas at the
Olbia-Vena Fiorita and Alghero-
Fertilia airfields.
Marauders, also escorted by
Lightnings and WarhawkS, raided
the airfields at Mills and Deoimom-
anui.
Reconnaissance flyers saw Leg
horn still blazing five hours after
the nine minute Fortress hammer
ing. Photographs taken of the tar
get area showed one direct hit and
three damaging near misses on the
cruiser and damage to four supply
ships in the harbor.
The area still was curtained by
heavy smoke through which fingers
of yellow flame could be seen Shoot
ing from burning oil refineries.
Photo interpreters reported hits
also were scored at Leghorn on
oil tanks, railway lines, storage
sheds, two docks and along railway
tracks east of the city.
Light Flax Reported
Returning fortress crews reported
like flax over the target, but said
heavy smoke-screen had been
thrown up over the city.
Unlike the fortresses, the medium
bombers ran into sWarms of en-
envy fighters. The Decimomannu
air field in southern Sardinia was
hit hard by B-26 Marauders, es-
corted by P-4O Warhawks, which
shot down four of Is fighters that

Postwar Plans for Servicemen
Studied on 25th Armistice Day

entitled, 1t seems to me, is some
thing like this:
81. Mustering-out pay to every
member of the armed forces and
merchant marine when he or she is
honorably discharged, large enough
in each case to cover reasonable
period of time between his discharge
and the finding of a new job.
"2. In case no job is found after
diligent search, then unemployment
insurance if the individual registers
with the United States employment
service.
"3. An opportunity for members
of the armed services to get further
education or trade training at the
cost of their government.
~. Allowance of credit to all
members of the armed forces un-
der unemployment compensation
and federal old age and survivors
insurance, for their period of serv-
ice. For these purposes they should
be treated as if they had continued
their employment in private indus
try.
rs. Improved and liberalized pro-
visions for disqualification, rehabili-
tation, and medical care of disabled
members of the armed forces and
merchant marine.
''6. Sufficient pensions for disabled
members of the armed forces"
Other Postwar Measures.
On the heels of this statement the
National Resources Planning board
released a 96-point rehabilitation
and readjustment plan which includ-
ed similar postwar benefits for serv-
ice men and women.
Among the state governments.
Oregon is reported to be planning
college education and the financing
of homes or farms for it's returning
World War II veterans.
Selective service boards are re-
ported to be getting ready to re-
verse their present function after
the war, and will become a Job find
ing agency for men leaving the mill
tary forces.
Government benefits, however,
are only part of the opportunities
greeting American fighters when
their heroism and sacrifices have
brought victory and peace Thou
sands of new and fascinating jobs
may be expected to accompany in
dustry's swing to peace-time pro-
duction. Some new and startling
scientific advances have been put
aside temporarily during the war.
Other innovations have been discov-
cred during wartime, necessity for
speed and durability. They include
the fields of television, aviation,
plastics, farm chemurgy, the auto
motive industry and many others.
Askov American., 1943-11-11

Telegraph keys clicked the magic
words from coast to coast. The
Armistice has come! The wars
over!" Probably the greatest out
pouring of American emotion in his
tory was unleashed. Big city streets
were blackened with yelling cele-
brants. They paraded, danced, en-
braced, beat on wash basins, and
shot off guns above chorus OF auto
mobile horns as saloon keepers
rolled out barrels of wine for the
street mobs.
And in many dwellings quieted by
the absence of loved one, women
thankfully murmured: "He's COM
ing home"
Thus, America reacted to the end
of World War l on November IL,
1918, and thus we probably will re-
act to the end of World War II. Our
debts to our nations warriors no
doubt will be felt keenly on this, the
25th anniversary of Armistice day,
as they battle for the same princi-
pies their fathers fought for.
This annual day of remembrance,
with its speeches and parades, helps
the homefront worker to say
"thanks" to the lads who advance
through the mud and jungle of the
Solomons; who crouch in dirt holes
near enemy lines in Italy as shells
from both sides burst about them;
who are tossed into icy, oily sea
water by enemy torpedoes; and who
send Axis planes plummeting earth
ward despite bowling, screeching
enemy fighters, rafting anti-aircraft
and glaring, sweeping searchlights.
Planning for the Future.
But Americas appreciation for
her warriors is not being shown
merely by one day of celebration.
Quietly working behind the scenes
of this wartime drama, the national
government, state governments, and
patriotic societies have been plan
ming peacetime jobs, education and
security for all the Johnnies who
will come marching home.
According to President Roosevelt: :
among many other things we
are, today, laying plans for the re-
turn to civilian life of our gallant
men and women in the armed serv-
ices. They must not be demobilized
into an environment of imitation and
unemployment to place on bread
line or on a corner selling apples.
We must this time, have plans ready
instead of waiting to do a hasty,
inefficient and ill-considered Job at
the last moment.
The Master Plan.
81 have assured our men in the
armed forces that the American peo-
pie would not let them down when
the war is won.
