Cougars are expert tree climbers,

The cougar is not quite so large

member of the cat tribe on this con-

some of the fights they have with
jaguars.

RUSSIA:
Reds COunter-AttGCk

Bitter fighting on the Russian
front spread, with Russian units
counter-attacking fiercely above
Orel, northernmost pivot of the
160-mile front bending southwark
to Belgorod.
Announcement of the counter
attack was made by the Nazis
after the Russians had claimed
that they had checked the Germans
in the Orel-Belgorod region after
initial break-throughs.
In the battle of the giants, Lon
don said, the Nazis had thrust
wedges of 20 miles into Russian
lines above Belgorod, but that the
Reds had temporarily slowed the
drives and were now throwing
their tanks and artillery at the
German flanks in an effort to
pinch them off from the main
forces.
Besides claiming success 3
around Belgorod, the Nazis as
serted they had progressed at the
northern anchor of Orel. Some ex-
tent of the fighting may be
CLEANED from Nazi and Russian
claims, which put total tank losses
at 1900.

units took another broadside at
Japanese warships seeking to sup
ply enemy troops penned at the
Munda airfield on New Georgia
island. In the exchange of salvos,
four and probably six Jap cruisers
and destroyers were sunk. No
American losses were announced.
Near Munda, American troops,
picking their way through the
thick jungle, encountered stiffen-
ing resistance from the entrapped
enemy. Earlier, U. S. forces had
wiped out a japanese stronghold
on an inlet to the northeast of the
island.
Collaborating with the sea and
ground forces, American airmen
continued hammering at Japanese
installations throughout the 700
mile arc of offensive. The enemy
air base at Villa above New
Georgia island and another in the
Shorthand islands TO the northwest
were raided.

No Deal With
AFL for Burke
Says Gosser

Richard Gosser, UAW-CIO re-
gional director and campaign man
ager for Thomas Burke, Local II
vice-president, who is a candidate
for City Council, yesterday an
swered the AFL denial of a deal"
between the two organizations in
supporting each others candidates.
Gosser said, Stories which have
run in the daily press to the effect
that there was mutual endorse
ment Of the CIO and AFL candi-
dates by the two labor organiza-
.tions are entirely unfounded. There
is no such deal"
Mr.. Gosser explained, Somebody
at the last meeting of the Toledo
Industrial Union Council suggested
that the two uniois should support
each others candidates. This was
Immediately taken up and pub
lished as though it were an accom-
plished fact. The fact is that no
such a thing has been done and
the person who suggested the ac-
tion was merely expressing his own
opinion"
No such arrangement or mutual
endorsement has been made, ac-
cording to Mr.. Gosser, who con-
cluded with, Whenever we have
wanted anything we have not been
shy in asking for it. If such an
arrangement had been made, we
would have gone directly to the
parties concerned and not accom-
plished arrangements through the
press or anyone else,
Mr.. Burke is expected to file his
petitions for Council in the next
few days.

WASHINGTON (FP) - Under
ecretary of War Robert P. Patter-
son told a press conference July
10 of innovations in the Air Force
which were regarded as the fore
runner of several important
changes relaxing the Jim Crowism
of the Army.
Army air schools will be opened
to Negroes soon, according to Pat
terson, for training as bombardiers
and navigators. At present the
only schools where Negroes may
study aviation are at Tuskegee,
Ala, and Selfridge Field, Mich,
and Negroes are used only in
fighter squadrons, not as bombar-
diers. The new training will be
given jointly to Negro and white
soldiers, not in segregated groups.

CROPS:
Prospects DOuOn

Overall crop production for 1943
is expected to be about 10 per cent
below last year, according to esti-
mates of the Department of Agri-
culture. With a tight situation in
corn already existent, it was pre-
dicted current acreage would yield
2 billion, 70612 million bushels, Is
per cent below the 1912 harvest.
Wheat production is expected to
approximate 790,823,000 bushels,
200 millions below 1912. Oats were
expected to be down SO per cent at
i billion 2421a million bushels
barley down ia per cent at 800
million bushels, and rye down Al
per cent at 33,562,O00 bushels.
Generally good yields were ex-
pected from the 15,434,000 acres of
soybeans seeded. Approximately
80 per cent less sugar beet acreage
was planted than in 1912. How
ever, higher acreage for dry BEANS
peas, peanuts, flaxseed, rice and
potatoes spelled higher production
Truck crops were expected to drop
II per cent.
In signing the $S48,OOO,OOO agri-
cultural supply bill, President
Roosevelt deprecated the elimina-
tion of crop insurance from the
measure. Congress had provided
over $3,000,000 for liquidation OF

'ACLU Gives
Unions
Ammunition
Reports Anti-Union
Activities

NEW YORK, July 10 (FP)-
Timed to provide even more am
munition for labor unions prepar-
ling to protect their economic in
terests through joint political ac-
tivity, the American Civil Liber-
ties Union reported July 10 that
the past year had seen more anti
labor bills passed than in any re-
cent year.
In its 1943 report, Freedom in
Wartime, the ACLU said that
there had been an "incessant
drive" to emasculate unions, both
nationally and by states. In addi-
ton to anti-labor acts in Congress,
many legislatures enacted legisla-
ton restricting the right to strike
and drastically curbing normal
union activities.
Another black spot in the years
Legislative record was passage of
the Smith-Connally bill, which in
cludes a provision prohibiting con-
tributions to political campaigns
by unions, a discrimination vigor-
ously opposed by the ACLU both
| in Congress and in legislatures
where similar proposals were de-
bated.
Reviews One Year
Reviewing the year from June
1912 to June 1943, the report
stated that more civil rights issues
| and cases have arisen from the
, normal conflicts" than from the
pressures of war, although some
have been accentuated by wartime
strains. On the whole, however,
, this war has been singularly free
! of the violations of civil rights
which marked World War /, prov
ing, the ACLU commented, that
"our democracy can fight even the
greatest of all wars and still main
tain the essentials of liberty"
, The report concluded with 2
warning against "complacency.'
Dangers remain great" it notes
"Undue prolongation of the war
reaction from war weariness or the
: growth Of reaction in other fields
a sudden change in public temper
: might easily reverse the record OF
these months. Today, as always
only eternal vigilance and activity
protect our liberties"
