Giraud in Africa
(NeW York Times)

(New York Times
 While for obvious reasons General Giraud seems
 the best available choice for the representative of French authority in Africa the situation there re- mains delicate We are committed to a major cam pagn based on French territory The crucial battles in that campaign are still to be fought, and the need of supplying ever-ncreasing stream of men and supplies to keep it going is just beginning to be felt in the intensified restrictions the home front No one has to be told that the same mill ary necessity that dictated the of Admiral Dar Ian to ease the opening phase of this great venture requires merely the maintenance of order in the colonies occupied by the Allied armies but the full support of the French and native populations.
 This is General Giraud's supreme task. great deal has been said about his capacity to command the confidence of all Frenchmen willing to fight for the liberation of their country. But beyond that it is of immediate importance that he com mands the confidence of the people the ground. If long and intimate acquaintance with Africa is la prime the qualification. few Frenchmen better fitted for the difficult office he has assumed. Most of General Graud's life soldier has been spent in the African service. His first post after leaving the military academy of St. Cyr was lin Bizerte For years before 1914 he served in Tunis. He led a Moroccan regiment in Europe in the last war and in the early Twenties he was called back by Marshal Lyautey to take command of the then lonely desert outpost of Marrakesh AS colonel lof the regiment which defeated and captured Abd el- -Krim the part he took in tn Riff campaign is well known but less remembered is that Giraud was in Africa most of the time until the European war was resumed with the German march into the Rhneland in l936
 With Lyautey he is, indeed, of the makers of the French empire. Whether this experience win serve him well remains to be seen. Certainly lit is to the advantage of the Allies that he knows levery inch of the territory which decisive bat ties are about to be fought. He knows the desert and the desert peoples This was one reason why he sunlably of the British, for the position he now cupies. In addition he has the unanimous backing of the French officials the ground and the ap- proval of General de Gaue and his followers Hard tests still to come yet at least it be said that General Giraud starts of the most in,- porant politico-military missions entrusted to any soldier in this under auspices much more favor able than could have been foreseen month ago

BUILDING SHIPS

The performance of the American ship building industry in l942 is one of the solid achievements which are rightly considered the foundations of u- tnlate United Nations victory The President asked for 5000 900 tons of new merchant shipping as a prime item in his blueprint for victory. It seemed fantastic when he announced that goal. But the goal has been reached.
 Put in other terms, the record is not so impress sive of course While our shipyards building 750 ships, the enemy was sinking SIS in our own waters The net addition to the merchant fleets of the United Nations through our production, was therefore only ITS vessels.
 But this is not fair picture, as matter of fact We must examine the trends to see how the battle of shipping is going. In respect to shipping losses in American waters the trend has been down. ward U-boat warfare began in February, rose to threatening levels in March, April and May and then began to taper off slowly By late summer the losses in our own waters were reduced to virtually negligible dimensions
 Production of ships in American yards on the other hand has risen steadily Total launchings for 1922 come to seven times those of 194l in terms of tonnage And the highest monthly output of the yards came, significantly, in December The curve is upward and points to still greater production for 1943.
 There is one disturbing factor, not precisely re- lated to the output of shipyards. That is the continued building of submarines in Germany, and

CONGRESSMAN GOES ON
 STRIKE

' In more than one hundred years of Congress, the first strike of a Congressman will occur soon when fortnight Jimmy Morrison from Louisianas 9th District resigns from five committees.
 Jiumy's idea is that these five committees Coinage, Weights and Measures; Mines and Mining; War Claims; Invalid Pensions; and Pulp lie Lands-are so much chicken feed and an insult to his district. If he cannot serve on the Agricul- turai Committee, in which Loui- siana is vitally interested, or on Appropriations, Morrison says he would rather conserve his time for other things
 All of which came as something of 8 bombshell to Democratic leaders who expect first term Con- gressmen to be seen and not heard.

 What about sending the Army into the coal mines?" someone asked at this point.
 This got no enthusiastic welcome Though the matter was not dis cussed in detail, it seemed to be the unspoken feeling of the com- mittee that too big an army going into industry and agriculture on an organized military basis might come close to developing a mili- tarized system in the U.S.A. simi- lar to that against which we were fighting in Europe.
 Only one member of the Com mittee, Senator Hatch of New Mex ico, felt that the armed force: should be given free rein to gt ahead and build up tremendou strength not subject to civilian check and supervision
 Other Committee members ex' pressed the view that it was onll natural for any military leader tt want the Army to be the bigges in the world; so civilian check rein by the White House or Con. greBs was necessary to balance farm labor and industry against armed strength.
 Finally it was decided that thu most important problems to licl before increasing the Army tt world-beating proportions was thu submarine and shipping.

|WLB Grants Pay Raise
To Boeing Workers 10
Boost Output Of Forts
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The War Labor Board contrib
uted to a possible solution of the
West Coast manpower crisis to-
day with a wage boost for Boeing
aircraft workers which admit
tedly stretched its stabilization
policy to the limit.
To help achieve production goals
for Flying Fortresses, the WLB ap-
proved a revised job classification
and wage rate schedule which per-
mits increases of more than 81 a
day for some of the men and women
who build the big planes at Seattle
and Renton, Wash.
In terms of wage stabilization
policy, the Boeing decision is justi-
fed by the WLB as rare and un-
usual" case. Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of the War Production
Board, and Vice Chairman Charles
E. Wilson appealed to the WLB a
week ago to bend its policies to the
utmost.
The new rates, ranging up to
$l,60 an hour for top mechanics
(plus 10 cents for night shift work.
are subject to approval by Stabil-
ization Director Fred M. Vinson
The thinking of top Government
officials on the subject was demon
strated in the weekend announce
ment of tighter manpower controls
for the West Coast. War Mobiliza-
tion Director James F. Byrnes said
I'VE have already fallen behind
schedule for vitality important war
items on the West Coast due to the
manpower shortages. 1t is obvious
that drastic measures are required
to increase the available labor
supply ="
The WLB decision demonstrated
the elastic nature Of the wage con-
trols. The maximum cost-of living
adjustment under the Little Steel
formula-4h cents an hour-was al
lowed the Boeing workers last
March. The March decision split
the public members of the board
Yesterdays decision, said Chairman
William H. Davis, was unanimous.
This" said the WLB chairman
was brought to us as a rare and
unusual case"
Than which," he added, smiling
at his own stretch of the language
there Is no rarer or unusualer."
Higher wages paid in shipyards
and some other war industries In the
Northwest have been reported draw
ing away workers from the Boeine
plants.
Boeing, said Mr.. Davis, sis the
most important producer in the
tightest labor market and is entitled
to have the best rate in the COM
munity. And think the machinists
who do that work are entitled to it.
IS Per Cent of Workers Benefit.
Mr.. Davis estimated that approx
imately rs per cent of the workers
will get some increase and said the
rates approved are equal to the high
est in the area for comparable jobs
The boards policy under the May
IL directive from the stabilization
director is to set up a bracket sys-
tenn for each area showing the
highest and lowest sound and
tested going rates" paid there for
Evening star., 1943-09-07

each kind OF job. Normally, wage
rates may be raised only to the
lowest rate In that bracket.
Mr.. Davis would not concede the
new rates necessarily meant an In
crease in production costs. The new
schedule, he said, "is much more
likely to reduce the cost of produc-
tion than increase It," He cited
an expected drop in labor turnover
and said enthusiastic cooperation
Is better than mere acquiescence." 1"
The lowest-paid classification will
be 82la cents an hour, now being
paid after 90 days employment. The
present contract hiring rate of 81
cents hourly was ordered abolished,
and new employees may be hired at
the regular grade rate.
The increases are retroactive to
March 3. The board, however, or
dered the retroactive payment In the
form of an equal lump sum OF $78
for each employe and requested the
company and the plant union, the
International Association of Ma
chinists, independent, to urge work
ers to accept payment in War bonds
and stamps
