Drastic legislation to halt the
administrations price-reducing
food subsidy program and trans
ferring all other agricultural
subsidy authority to the war food
administrator was passed by the
Senate today and sent back to
the House.
In a series of swift defeats for
administration forces, which fol-
lowed their setback yesterday on the
strike bill, the Senate followed the
lead of the House in passing legis-
lation extending the life of the
Commodity Credit Corp. for two
years with restrictive amendments
against subsidies.
In its final action before passage
of the bill, the Senate adopted on
voice vote an amendment by Sen
ator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming which would lodge all of
the food subsidy functions of the
Office of Price Administration in
the war food administrator, Chester
c. Davis.

last Wednesday.
A company spokesman said the

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, June 26-More
than 100 Flying Fortresses, strik-
ing in their greatest raid of the
Mediterranean war, hit the vital
straits city of MeSsina in Eastern
Sicily yesterday and kicked up
such a huge cloud of fire and
smoke that the entire target area

Rfvaling the Fortresses' attack on
Messina, essential in the rail and
ferry links with the Italian main

over Olbia in Northern Sardinia the

seven fires and big explosion in the
port area, near the railway station
and among military installations
and ammunition dumps.
Describing the American attack
on Messina, an official report said
"the port area and marshalling
yards were thoroughly smothered by

PITTSBURGH, June 26.-The
coal strike spread to a few more
big mines today, despite the
newly enacted anti-strike law,
and an atmosphere of uncer-
tainty hung over the coal fields
while the real test on the back
to-the mines movement was ex-
pected Monday.
In the great producing State of
Pennsylvania, whose mines are esti-
mated to be operating approx
mately Is per cent of normal, about
5000 more men left the pits this
morning. Most of these were In
the anthricite field in the eastern
part of the State.
Further picketing occurred to aid
in closing of three mines in the
soft coal fields of Western Penn
sylvania.
In neighboring West Virginia, the
second largest mining State, pros
poets for normal operations by Mon
day were much brighter, with more
bituminous mines reopening during
the day.
Mass meetings were to be held

ers planned to urge all men to go
back.
At Uniontown, Pa, Michael Honus,
secretary-treasurer of UNIV Dis
trict 4, said:
Il expect all of the men to be
working Monday"
Similar expressions came from
other union leaders but the addi-
tional walkouts today came unex-
pectedly and in Western Pennsyl-
vania raised the possibility of furth-
er curtailment in steel production
unless the men 60 back by Monday.
Nationally, there was little change
in the situation in the coal fields,
with operations estimated roughly
about one-half based on comment
by operator and union sources.

Nazi War Plants
Heavily Blasted
Again by Raj
30 Bombers Lost
In New Assault on
industrial Valley
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, June ga heavy
force of British bombers spread
new destruction last night in the
German Ruhr, hitting targets in
Bochum and Gelsenkirchen, and
one military observer declared
that neutralizing of this great
industrial valley was nearing
completion.
This observer estimated that nearly
10000 tons of bombs, many of them
block busters, had been cast on this
compact Nazi industrial region since
the massive bombing experiment
started three and half months ago.
Thes normal industrial haze over
the Ruhr now is reported thinned
out and is said, in fact, to have
actually disappeared in some places.
During the three and one-half-
month period, more than 500 Allied
bombers have been lost, this source
said, and some 5000 men have been
killed or captured.
In last nights attack coal mining
and steel plants were among the
objectives.
Allied bombers and fighters were
out again by daylight. Observers
on the Southeast English coast saw
a strong force OF two-engined
bombers, escorted by many squad
rons of fighters, streak across the
Channel toward Dieppe and Bou-
logneg The rumble of distant ex-
plosions soon came back from the
French coast.
30 Bombers Missing.
Thirty of the RATS big aircraft
were listed as missing.
The British bombers, following By
only a few hours the American
heavy bombers which attacked un-
disclosed targets yesterday IN Ger
many, encountered the same cloud
formations as the Americans and it
was reported that results could not
be observed accurately.
However, the Air Ministry COM
munique reported that large fires
were started in Bochum and Gelsen-
kirchen.
Strong new defensive squadrons
which the Germans have thrown
into the battle of the Ruhr were out
In force, the British announced. and
there were many air battles. Two
enemy planes were reported de-
stroyed
Yesterdays fighting over North
west Germany on the American
foray was described by an American
AIR Force spokesman as "a pro-
longed battle of the clouds" and it
was said that weather conditions
were so unfavorable that some of
the bombers selected their targets
as best they could on the return
journey.
100 Axis Fighters DESTROYED.
Headquarters of the European
tneater of operations of the United
States Army said American heavy
oomoers had destroyed nearly 100
enemy fighters in their last two
engagements over the Reich, while
losing 81 of their own bombers.
Headquarters, which first announced
that l8 American planes were
missing from yesterdays attack.
said today that II were lost. One of
the missing planes returned.
The Air Ministry communioue re-
ported that British Intruders also
attacked airflelds and other targets
IN the Low Countries overnight and
destroyed a number of enemy night

18th attack by the RAF on the Reich

Confusion Follows
Swift Overriding Of
Antistrike Bill Veto
Enforcement Puzzles
Justice Department.;
Unions See Disaster
By the Associated Press.

ny tHe hoSoSAdtSo EISSo.
Congress, in a stunning re-
versal Of President Roosevelt,
put American war production to-
day under an anti-strike law so
stringent union leaders pro-
claimed it a major disaster"
Republicans saw in it a blow to
the administration and resentful
coal miners exploded in a new
revolt.
Whilwind action on the ConnaLg-
Smith Harness bill forced the long
awaited issue yesterday.
Anti-climaX set in today and with
1t came doubt and confusion on the
full effects of the law, how it might
be applied to the thing that in
spired 1.-THE coal walkouts-and a
certain amount of fear as to the
ultimate reaction at the work
benches Of the arsenal of democ-
racy."
Fresh Strikes Follow Action.
Attention focused on the coal
fields where 250,000 miners-about
half the total-had failed to return
to work despite orders from John
l.. Lewis and his United Mine
Workers ending the recent walkout,
the third in seven weeks. On top of
that, passage of the law was fol-
lowed Immediately by fresh strikes
y by 10000 more miners.
Mr.. Roosevelt touched off a mo-
mentous day when he vetoed the
anti-strike bill as more likely to
foment labor troubles than to settle
them. Except for the coal strike,
he insisted labor had kept its no
strike pledge since the Pearl Harbor
attack.
With speed unequaled in recent
years, the Senate and the House
yesterday promptly overrode his
veto to make law the measure pro-
viding fines and Imprisonment for
persons instigating or aiding war
time strikes in Government-oper-
ated industries, and outlawing STOP
pages in other war plants without a
ballot of the workers The law also
broadens the powers of the War
Labor Board and suspends payments
Of strike benefits.
Justice Department Silent.
So rapid and unexpected was the
congressional action that the Justice
Department was unprepared to say
how it would proceed to enforce the
new law.
Nor was there any pronounce
ment from the War Labor Board
concerning its plans now that it
was given power to force the at
tendance of witnesses. Lacking sub
poena authority in the past, the
WLB steadfastly had been ignored
by Mr.. Lewis in its handling of the
coal wage controversy.
On one subject there was general
agreement-it was the sharpest con-
gressional rebuff handed the Presi-
dent since the Supreme Court reor-
ganization bill was junked in 1887.
1t was the eighth time a Roose-
velt veto had been overriden since
1888.
With eagerness that presaged the
result, the Senate took up the veto
five minutes after the Presidents
message was read late in the after

Roosevelt has opposed.
Previously, the Senate had voted,

This amendment provided for con-

The legislation makes sharp dis
