Wickard, Brown Study
Livestock Ceiling as
Curb on Black Market
Other Measures Needed,
Secretary Believes, to
End Illegal Traffic

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of Agriculture Wickard
believes price ceilings on livestock
may tend to encourage the black
market in meat unless other meas
ures also are adopted taking the
profit out of illegal operations.
Price Administrator Brown has
proposed such ceilings as a counter
move against illegal slaughtering
and marketing of pork and beef. He
said black market operators outbid
legitimate slaughterers, who are
subject to retailing price ceilings.
Decrying black markets, Mr.. Wick
ard told press conference yester-
day that whether civilians would get
weekly ration of pounds or more
of meat would depend largely on
how we'll I'VE get control of the
supply, slaughter and distribution. i"
But he said ceilings on live ami
mails would not in themselves keep
livestock out of the hands of black
markets, but instead would give such
markets a wider profit margin and
thereby tend to encourage them.
RaIoning, uniform retail ceiling
prices on meat and other measures"
probably would help curb illegal
marketings, Mr.. Wickard said. Ee

McNuH Is Expected
To Issue Rules Soon
On 48-Hour Week
Monpower Chiefs O. K.
Plans for D. c. and 81
Other Shortage Areas

ManpoWer Chairman McNutt has
approved regulations governing the
48-hour work week in the District
and 81 other labor shortage areas,
and the War Manpower Commission
said today they are expected to be
promulgated early next week.
The approval followed Mr.. Nc
Nuts consultation with members
of the commission and the Man.
agement-Labor Policy Committee,
it was said.
Some revlsionS were said to have
been suggested by these groups, and
1t was reported the regulations will
not require plant to go to 43 hours
If the additional eight hours fail
to effect manpower saving.
Some Firms Exempted.
The commission and the policy
committee agreed to exempt firms
having fewer than eight employees,
and at the same time approved a
provision giving a worker to be re-
leased by an employer because of the
increased workweek opportunity to
seek suitable employment"
This was interpreted at the COM
mission to mean work in war plants,
and If suitable employment cannot
be found for the worker the COM
pany planning to release him will
be prevailed on by the commission
to keep him on the rolls.
Key men or specialists whose serv-
ices are required for indispensable
work, 1t was reported, will not be
required to go to 48 hours unless
by doing so some other employees
will be released for war-plant work.
Deputy Chairman Fowler Harper
said in indianapolis yesterday that
the manpower gain from the 48-
hour work week would be less than
one-sixth of the needs for addi-
tional labor in 1943
Mr.. Harper said 54-hour mini
mum schedule, which he reported
was already in effect for more than
one-fifth of the country's present
labor force, would provide a greater
gain, but he did not discuss the pos
sibility of such schedule being or

Work Week Average Up.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Labor
Perkins reported today that the
actual work week in durable goods
industries averaged 462 hours in
December, which she interpreted as
at least 4s-hour schedule.
Because absenteeism and labor
turnover probably account for a diff
ference of two hours between the
scheduled work week and the hours
actually worked, industries reporting
As hours are operating on a 48-
hour schedule" the Secretary said.
The average is 8.7 per cent higher
than a year ago. OF the durable
goods industries which are engaged
largely in war production more
than half reported 46 hours or more
and three of these, machine tools
textile machinery and locomotives
(tanks), exceeded so hours.
In durable goods the work
week in December averaged 421
hours, ga per cent above last year
and per cent above November.
Hourly December earnings in
durable goods, including overtime
premiums and sift differentials,
changed little from November, aver
aging 1904 per cent or about IL per
cent above the earnings Of the year
earlier.

These outfits then withdrew them
selves, still engaging the enemy.
The removal at Sbeitla went on
as scheduled, despite the fact that
German artillery shelled the town
during the night and their tanks
made a futile two-hour push be-
ginning at 2 am. to seize the town
under cover of darkness BY dawn
they still had a fight on their hands
before entering.
All Allied planes at Thelepte Air
field, long sore spot to the Ger
man ground forces as we'll as to
Nazi flyers, were safely flown away
and the French and American
forces stationed at nearby Feriana
marched into the adjoining hills
without hurry. leaving a company
of light tanks to guard the rear.
Planes Assist Tanks.
French pack trains wound slowly
across the plains, the mules and men
loaded with equipment. AS one
French private, bent almost double
under his pack, passed a group of
American officers he Strengthened
up, saluted smartly, and gave them
a greeting with the only words of
English he knew:
"Okay. halo keedm
Last to come out was a company
of light tanks, with their guns still
warm from a successful delaying en-
gagement with a German armored
column.
Relays of American planes oper-
ating in the gray skies where no
Nazi aircraft was seen helped a
little tank group hold the Germans
at bay until the last American SOL
dier had left Feriana.
AS the plucky little tanks rolled
up the mountain through falling
snow several French soldiers saved
by their stand cheered and shouted
at them. Smiling tankmen waved
back.
The fingers Of every soldier were
parted in the "V'' signal for victory.

Agreement 10 Fight
'Undercover Threat
Claimed by Winche||
Government Spokesman
Made Deal With Him,
Columnist Declares
Hy the Associated Press.


The Nays action in placing Wal
ter Winchen, lieutenant command
er In the Naval Reserve, on the in
active list caused conflicting ex-
plantations today.
The House Naval Affairs Com
mittee yesterday dropped its plans
to investigate Mr. Winchell's status
after Secretary of the Navy Knox
told the committee in executive ses-
sion that the columnist's status had
been changed.
Members of Congress, who have
complained that Mr.. Winchell
broadcast criticism of legislators,
who, he said, guessed wrong" be-
fore Pearl Harbor. hailed the Navy's
action as victory.
Resignation Offered.
But Mr.. Winchell said there had
been an agreement between him
self and a Government spokesman
that "the Navy will fight the un-
derseas threat and I will continue
to fight the undercover threat"
Mr.. Winchell said he had been on
inactive duty since he returned to
Miami from tour of active duty
to South America January Il. This
would antedate his controversial
Sunday night broadcast in which he
assailed certain members of Con-
gress and "all those damn fools who
reelected them" 1t was this broad
cast which aroused Representative
Hoffman, Republican, of Michigan
to demand an investigation.
Mr.. Winchell further told an in
terviewer that as a result OF the
criticism he had offered his resig-
nation from the Navy Tuesday, but
that "a spokesman for the Govern
ment" whom he was not at liberty
to identify had refused to accept it.
May Wear Uniform.
Mr.. Hoffman, on hearing that Mr..
Winchell was in inactive status,
commented, Every fighting man
and officer in the Navy should re-
.ioice at the action" He called it
boon to naval morale" adding that
mo longer will the Navy vince at
the spectacle of Broadway gossiper
sporting lieutenant commanders
stripes while he snoops about night
clubs in search of sexy tidbits."
Mr.. Hoffman's statement clearly
indicated that he understood Mr.
Winchell to have been stripped" of
his uniform, as he put it. But MI
Winchell said he still was entitled
TO wear it when performing naval
duties or on other special occasions.
He ADDED that he was not wearing
1t now and never had worn it except
when ordered to do so.
Under Navy regulations, a Reserve
officer on inactive duty may wear
his uniform at drills, if performing
any special duty for the Navy, or if
participating in military ceremonies.

American Army, I had my first op-
portunity to see how they reacted
when the going really got tough.
Well, here's the way one infan-
tryman summed it up after plodding
is miles cross-country at night:
That means it will take us an
other week more now to win the war.
But every week I have spent away
from the United States because OF
those kraut hounds makes me just
that much sorer at them"
Typical was the reaction of an
anti-aircraft gunner, Pvt Michael
Higgins, jr, 25,, of New York City,
the son Of a deputy chief Of the New
York Fire Department.
Abandoned Supplies Destroyed.
''We pulled out of Gafsa night
before last and out of Feriana last
night" said Pvt Higgins. who served
as volunteer in the Canadian
Army, but switched to the American
forces after Pearl Harbor They
were cold trips in open trucks.
The whole valley was red with
explosions as We destroyed every
thing of value that we couldn't take.
The Germans won't find enough
food left TO feed a canary. or enough
fuel to keep a cigarette lighter
going.
I'VE don't like to move back. We
want to fight. We can't win war
by moving back and we want to
get back at them as soon as we are
given the word"
Evacuated along with Pvt. Higgins
was Sergeant, 5-months old pup.
which he bought from a French
family for 81. 1t has been through
80 Stuka raids.
He comes into the machine gun
pit with me during air raids and
doesn't like moving back any more
than I do" Pvt. Higgins explained.
Another evacuee was Sergeant's
sister, Hester. owned by Pvt. Tom
Reed, 10, truck driver of Spring
field, KY.
Withdrawal without Panic.
Capt Edward f Cotter, 81. Of
Corning Iowa, led an infantry group
which made l5-mile trek to safety.
Resting on rock, he observed cheer
fully, I'VE came through with all
our men and with no trouble but
sore feet"
Corpl. Merle Bierman, 25, of Des
Moines, Iowa, grinned even more
cheerfully-he made the trip out in
a quarter-ton peep, which is much
better than walking"
The withdrawal was orderly and
without any signs of panic.

tinued as American tank, artillery
and infantry forces held the Ger

sations between the Fuhrer and
Premier Mussolini did not conf1ne
themselves to defense of the
Mediterranean sector. Details of
new peace proposals to Russia
also were covered at that meet
ing, it is said.
Conversations between Hitler
and Rumania's Antonescu and
King Boris of Bulgaria also were
reported to have revolved around
peace. Hungary's Prime Min
lister Kallay went to discuss "im-
portant matters" with Hitler's
Charlie Mccarthy, Signor Mus
solini. Hitler did not want to
have any dealings with a No. 2
man and insisted that Hungary's
regent, Admiral Horthy, come to
Germany for consultation.
King Michael Is Puppet.
The fact that he agreed to
receive personally Marshal An
tonescu is due to the fact Ru-
mania's boy King Michael is a
mere puppet who has nothing to
say in the affairs Of the country
of which he is the nominal head.
All these conversations between
Hitler and representatives OF
German satellites have been de-
scribed by the Axis press as i'm
portant talks necessitated by tho
preparation OF large scale Of
fensive on the eastern front. But
actually the main topic of con-
versation has been Hitler's offer
to Russia through the intermedi-
ary of the Japanese Ambassador
to the U. S. S. r.
Mussolini is reported willing to
consider almost anything to gain
peace. OF course, there are no
territories involved which may
require a sacrifice on the part Of
the government. Hence, he is
said to have urged Hitler to con-
slider the sky as the limit Of his
offerings to the Russians.
Boris Fears Outcome.
King Boris of Bulgaria is said
to have been somewhat more
restrained. He realizes his coun-
try is as pro-Russian as 1t has
ever been. The Nazis have never
been able to induce him to send
even token squad Of infantry
to help them on the eastern front
because, he pointed out, that
these men would go over to the
Russians as soon as they had a
chance.

Bombers Pile Up in u. S.
Airmen Charge Lond Armies Hog Shipping;
Plead for Ground Forces to Push Offensive

During the first year of American
participation In the war, not
single bomb was dropped on Ger
many from an American plane.
This was due, In part, to the fact
that the invasion Of North Africa
caused a diversion from England
Of practically all Of our bombers
that had been scheduled to get into
action against Germany in the last
weeks Of 1912. The bulk of Ameri-
can air equipment has continued to
go to Africa since that time. The
Air Forces simply has not been able
to get shipping space to serve its
forces in North Africa and simul-
taneously build up an effective force
in Britain.
Day Bombing Is Factor.
A factor OF delay, for which the
air officers themselves are to blame,
has been their persistence in day.
light bombing. Only now, 1t is re-
ported, American Fortresses and
Liberators in England are being
equipped for night bombing. Ex-
haust dampers are being installed
to do away with the trail of sparks
which made these planes easy to
snOt in a darkened sky
American air officers deny that
they have given up on daytime
bombing, but increasingly they are
inclined to admit that that form
of attack, while it has proved highly
successful in both the Pacific and
Mediterranean, has not worked so
we'll over Germany. The main rea-
sons for this difference are Cd the
toughness Of German defense and
ca the cloudy weather prevailing
over Central Europe most of the
time, which makes it difficult to see
specific targets.
Hereafter, 1t is indicated, Amer
lean bombers will continue to fly
in daytime against nearby objec-
tives, but they may soon join with
the British in greater numbers in
night attacks on longer-range OBJ
jectives, such as Berlin and the
Skoda works in Czechoslovakia.
High-level precision bombing, in
fact, has given way in a great de-
gree to loW-level attack in both the
Pacific and Mediterranean regions.
In their recent great victory over
the Japanese in the Bismarck Sea,
for example, American planes, re-
gardless of type, dropped their bombs
and torpedoes literally from mast
head height. AS the Luftwaffe has
declined In effectiveness, the same
daring method has been adopted by
Allied flyers in the Mediterranean.
Give us the planes which are now
waiting on American soil and the
supplies to keep them going, say the
American air commanders in Britain,
and We'll soon be peppering every
part of Germany, from all levels
and at all hours.

the stepchild among armed forces
when it comes to getting the sup
plies that it needs.
1t must be apparent to any one,
say the airmen, that rising air SUI
periority has been the decisive fac
tor in virtually all victories won by
the Allies in recent months. But
in spite of this airplanes, both
bombers and fighters, are piling up
by the thousands in the United
States, not for lack of pilots but
because the land and sea branches
hog ocean shipping, without which
the Air Forces cannot get the
ground services absolutely essential
to their operation.
Land Army Being Built.
The reason for this condition Is
that tremendous effort is being
made to build up an American land
Army for the invasion of the Euro
pean continent. The airmen do not
dispute that infantry may eventu-
ally play its part in beating Hitler,
but they say this can only be so
after complete control of the air
has been attained and the Germans
so softened by air attack as to make
possible land invasion.
Specifically, it is pointed out, 100
Flying Fortresses attacking Italian
objectives from Africa this week
end were cited as the biggest con-
centration Of American bombers
that ever has participated in a
single raid. The British in con-
trast have been sending their
heavier Lancasters and Strings on
long flights over Germany in lots of
500 to 1000. And this accomplish
ment of the RAF is in spite of the
fact that more than one half of all
British bombers are operating in
the anti-submarine patrol under di-
rection of the Admiralty.
