Brown and Bob Hope. In all,
1864 individual performers have
been sent out by the committee

COMPLETE CAMP SHOWS
The committee receives an av-
erage of 100 requests week,
ranging all the way from war
plant appearances to the -Presi-
dents Birthday Ball. Ever since
its formation the committee S
biggest problem has been the
juggling of studio projection
schedules to permit stars to go
on the road. And now that has
been solved, with the producers
agreeing to coordinate their
open time on the committee S
booking sheets. Two studios
M-G-M and RKO, are even
forming complete shows for
camp tours.
And no longer does the COM
mittee have to worry about star
talent Just few days ago the
Screen Actors Guild passed a
resolution calling upon 1000
members to donate minimum
of six weeks year to the COM
mittee.

Two hundred million dollars
due ship owners as payment for
seizure of their vessels by the
government is now tied up by
inability of government lawyers
representing the War Shipping
Administration and the control
Ter generals office to agree on
Interpretation of the law suppos-
ed to determine rates of pay
ment. 1t is perfect example of
a lovely lawyers fight, of a
snarl in government red tape, of
a bottleneck in administrative
procedure which, if duplicated
in war production, would be
termed downright sabotage.
The issue hasn't received as
much attention as il probably
deserves because it is bit COM
plicated, also because it got bur-
led and involved in the futile at
tempt of Senator George D. All

reappointment of Admiral <. S.
Land for another term as chair
man of the Maritime Commits
sion and War Shipping Admins
traitor.
But for weeks the Maritime
Commission and controller gen.
erals office lawyers have been
arguing the matter without COM
ing to any conclusion, and so
hamstrung are some of the ship
owners by this delay that in the
last few days they have been
meeting with the War Shipping
Administration in an effort to
work out some kind of an inter-
i'm agreement, pending final
adjustment.
Under the law, the ship own
ers could accept rs per cent of
the compensation due them, but
if they did take this payment,
they would be forced to sue the
government for the balance and
there would follow long string
of court actions. Naturally, ship
owners and the War Shipping
Administration both want to
avoid that further tie-Ip.
This case in the first instance
goes back to the Fifth Amend
ment to the Constitution which
says that private property shall
not be taken for public use with
out just compensation. If the
government seizes privately
owned ship for war cargo serv-
ice, for instance, the owner shall
receive just compensation.
On Sept. 8, 1899, the President
issued a proclamation declaring
the existence of Limited ma
tional emergency" That was
right after Hitler started march
ing, you'll remember. AT that
time, ship values were low.
On May q, 1941, the Presi-
dent issued another proclama-
ton. declaring general ma
tional emergency, and further
bringing into operation the pow
or of the Maritime Commission
to requisition shipping. BY that
time, ship values had risen,
partly because there was great
er demand for shipping, partly
because of submarine sinkings
in European waters.
Therefore, The Maritime Com
mission. which did not begin TO
requisition ships until after May,
l94l, set payment scale on
shipping it requisitioned, higher
than the value of 1899, but low
er than the value of May. 1941,
and proceeded to order the
Treasury to recompense owners
of seized vessels accordingly.
But along comes the Office of
Controller General Lindsay
Warren to say no, the Maritime
Commission rates should be bas-
ed on rates in effect in 1899, or
IiSdI ~ tWO yCdl - DClOiC tlit-
Maritime Commission began to
requisition vessels in any guam
tity.
Congress, through the House
Merchant Marine and Fisheries
Committee and the Senate Com
merce Committee, had already
been asked to clarity the law,
but that got nowhere. So an inn
partial arbiter was called in, in
the. person of William D. Nit
chell, to investigate and write a
memorandum. Not to settle the
case, mind you-just TO write a
memo. He did. 1t is a master

rect English unusual to find in

FIRE LOSSES IN
 APRIL INCREASED

New York, May 18.-Estimated fire losses in the United States in April were $34,241 ,000, an increase of $6,281 ,0O0 or B per cent over the total for April, 1942, it was an- nounced today by w. E. Mallalieu, general manager of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. The estimates are based upon incurred losses reported by members of the Board, plus an allowance for unre- ported and uninsured losses.
 The April losses represented a de- crease of 126 per cent from the total of $39,214,O00 reported in March when the monthly fire toll was the highest in II years.
 Fire losses for the first four months of the year are estimated at $134, 5000, an increase of $9,- 5l4,000 over the total of $124,849 ,OOO reported for the similar period of 1942.

eventually retired at his own re- quest.
 Grand March
 Mayor Hotchkiss and Mrs. Beach led the ball for the grand march on this gala first occasion; the cops never looked SO well-dressed in their lives, except the younger lot, who always had an eye to being spick and span while on street duty. Lieutenant John J. Bergin was chairman of the committee, with John Cavanaugh, a patrolman then, as his first aid The hall, unlike the last affair, was jammed to the doors exits counted little in those days, and it didn't make much difference how the people would get out, in case anything of @ serious nature happened. But today, at such af- fairs, we find uniformed firemen present, under a new law adopted by the General Assembly.
 The crowd danced its head of until early the following morning but the Mayor and Board, and city officials with members of the Police Department, wondered their way tc the old Connecticut Hotel on Gen. ter street for a turkey supper, and they didn't leave there until o'clock the next morning. By the order of the board all police were granted leave of 48 hours. Super numeraries, wearing the old-fash- toned tasseled helmets wore the heavy overcoatS of the regular force, with service marks on the sleeves indicating many years of activity.
 'This is a time for all police to be off duty" exclaimed one of the commissioners at board meeting; every man is entitled to be off duty for 48 hours so that he and his family will have one night in the year for recreation" And such a resolution was unanimously adopt ed.
 We were there because we were young and active; everyone had to be in evening dress to be on the floor, to dance to waltz music by Fultons band, and other numbers by a 20 piece orchestra. Expense was secondary the cops were out for night of it, and they had 1t.
 That's the way the police and firemen used to entertain them selves in the old days. The police would probably have had as much fun two weeks ago, if the war was not on, and things were normal.

 London. May 18.-(UP)-Allied strategy for knocking Italy out of the war, one of the major topics of the Roosevelt Churchill conference, is believed to have advanced to the point where it is just a matter of carrying out fixed decisions.
 The chief "X'' factory is the poli- tical situation-namely, whether the Allies can carry out coup detat in Italy similar to that which accompanied the Allied landings in Africa. Elements exist in Italy that are believed to be just as ready to aid the United Nations as were the French elements in Africa.
 But the difficulties of contracting these groups and of effecting ar engagements similar to those which the Allies achieved in North Africa are vastly more difficult. After all, Italy is technically in the war whereas North Africa theoretically was neutral.
 Axis attention is fixed on Italy and the Germans are not likely to allow the Italians to enter into ne- gotiations with Allied agents along the lines of dealings carried out by Lieut.. Gen. Mark w. Clark with the French.
 However, the actual number of German troops in Italy is believed small and even the thousands of Nazi secret police known to be in Italy hardly is able to police every mile of the long coastline.
 Naturally, Allied technique in handling this problem will not be disclosed in advance. They have plenty of talent available, including Clark and many Italo-Americans who are most familiar with the homeland and have many contacts there.
 Preliminary phases of the con- quest of Italy obviously call for aerial softening up, which already is we'll under way. Italian air de- lenses always have been weak, Un- less the German air force is thrown into Italy on scale surpassing its African participation. the Allies can expect to win air domination over Italy quickly.
 There is believed to be only one German air fleet in Sicily and southern Italy at present and that fleet was battered badly in Africa. Adolf Hitler is not likely to send in major air formations because of the need for planes on the Russian front and for the protection of the home land and occupied countries.
 The second phase of the Italian conquest probably will be an island hopping maneuver in which Sicily,

so-called "job freeze" order of April 18 along with the establishment of a Stabilization Agreement all con tributed to drop in placements from previous months.
 Placements of part-time workers were still small in comparison with the total file of applicants regis tered for this type of work. At present, one of the main reasons for this condition is the fact that many workers willing to work part time cannot arrange free time that will coincide with a regular factory shift. Actually only 40 such place ments were completed during the month; 19 of these were women.
 Bristol
 It is too early to estimate the full effect of economic stabilization reg ulations. At the momeno it seems to have slowed up the infiltration of workers from outside the district but it has also had the deterrent effect of slowing up the movements of workers to other districts. The es- timated need for labor in the inn mediate future was lessened some what by sharp reduction by one local plant in their labor require ments for replacements.
 No arge-scale use of part time workers on production is yet being carried out but one large employer is making survey and it is possible such plan may be inaugurated in the near future.
 TOrringtOn
 The employment situation in the Torrington area remains much the same as the previous month with employer limiting their hiring to replacementS. The out-migration of skilled workers to nearby cities has slackened noticeably since the issuing of the recent stabilization orders.
 There was 8 decrease in new ap- plications and a decrease in re- neWals as campored with last months figures. New registrations totaled ITO and renewals totaled 164 for the month.

Few German Troops
 Remaining In Italy
Allied Plans for Knocking Mussolin Out of War in
 Advanced Stage; Political Situation Major Factor

Sardinia, Corsica, Crete and the Aegean Islands are expected to be the prime targets.
 Pantelleria Island, betWteen Tu- nisia and Sicily, is thought to be in a slightly different category as it already is under virtual siege.
 It is not known where the Dode- canese Islands between Turkey and Greece fit into the Allied plans but it is assumed that they will be mop ped up before moving into the Aegean.
 Invasion of Italy may prove a simpler task than it appears. There is increasing belief that Hitler will not commit his army to major stand in Italy. Actually, the loss of Italy would believe Germany of a considerable responsibility, par ticularly that of supplying raw ma terials such as iron and coal.
 Since the entrance to Germany from Italy probably could be defend- cd by small force of picked noun tain troops, it is believed that Hit Ter would let Benito Mussolini do what he can and then write of Italy.
