Navy Requests
"a Billions
Grim Reminder of
Losses in Bottle
By ALEX Fl. SINGLETON

WASHINGTON. April 8 - (P)
- A Navy request for S24,15
100000 in new funds for the
1914 fiscal year was laid before
Congress today with a grim re-
hinder of the cost of repairing
and replacing ships damaged in
battle.
The estimated financial needs
- largest amount ever sought
for the sea-fighting forces -
were sent to Congress by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and Chairman
Cannon (D-Mo.) announced an
appropriations sub committee
would begin studying them Sat
urday.
From Chairman Vinson Cd
Ga) of the House naval COM
mittee came the assertion that
the unprecedented appropria-
tions would 60 to add greater
and greater strength to the fleet
and its air arm until we drive
the enemy from the sea back TO
his shore as we press forward to
victory"
The biggest ALLEGATIONS in the
estimates include S9,024,000,000
for the increase, repair and re-
placement of naval vessels, 49,
476, 100000 for the Bureau of
Ordnance, S4,286, 21l, 900 for the
Bureau of Supplies and Ac-
counts, 81 1887 100000 for the
Bureau of Ships, and 81 ,640, 000,-
900 for the Bureau OF Aeronau-
tics.
Cannon termed it the largest
regular appropriation bill for the
navy in history. 1t compares
-with-S23 500 e99-a appropriated
for the 1913 fiscal year, but that
amount included supplemental,
deficiency and emergency ap-
preparations as we'll as the regu-
lar allotment of. about $4,000
100000.
The request reached Capitol
Hill close on the heels of Sec
rotary KnOx's recent testimony
before congressional committees
that the navy is determined to
build itself into unmatched pow
er on and above the seas.
He estimated that navy per-
sonnet will swell to a strength
of 100000 by the end of the
year. There was no breakdown,
for reasons of military security,
on how many tons in ships bot
toms or how many fighting
planes and bombers will be pro-
vided by the 1914 expenditures.
Vinson pointed out, however,
that about $4,000, 600, 900 of the
money would go for construction
already authorized.
But, even with the lack of
those specific figures, it was re-
garded as certain by lawmakers
close to the navy department
that substantial amount of the
money would be built into plane
carriers and into smaller vessels
to combat submarines.

Relax NLRB
Curbs, Kaiser
Suggests

PORTLAND, Ore. April g.
Up - Henry j. Kaiser today
urged relaxation of restrictions
imposed by the National Labor
Relations Act on any employer
faced with a union jurisdictional
dispute a situation that now
confronts him in three of his
shipyards.
Even as the Congress Of In
dustrial Organizations prepared
for a membership drive and the
National Labor Relations Board
reconvened its hearing into
American Federation of Labor
closed-shop agreements with his
three Portland area yards. Kai-
ser sought this amendment to
the Wagner Act:
Whenever a jurisdictional
dispute or other contest between
rival unions shall exist or
threaten to develop, it shall not
be unfair labor practise for the
employer to advise his employees
concerning their legal rights, or
to comment upon the effect of
the sterilization of wages, hours
and conditions of employment
upon his employees economic
welfare
! That amendment, Kaiser said
in telegram to Sen. Harry F.
Truman (D-Mo), Senate war
production committee chairman,
would be. in my opinion. very
helpful TO organized labor and
to employers"
Anticipating on NLRB de-
cision against KaiSer'S AFL con-
tracts here, the Clio shipyard
union has announced publicly
il is contemplating a member
ship drive in his-and other
AFL-yards in this area. Yester-
day it opened a downtown Of
flee.
The NLRB hearing, recessed
since mid-February when the
CIO case was concluded, recon-
vened today. The Clio charges
that the closed-shop agreements
are illegal. that the Kaisers and
the AFL combined to discrimi-
nate against hiring CIO union
lists. This the Kaisers deny.

Over 100 Commissioned
CoIored Officers Here
332nd First Negro Fighter
Group in Army's History

Two of the most famous Negro
units in the United States Army
Air Forces now are stationed at
Selfridge Field. They are the
332nd Fighter Group and the
96th Service Group and compo-
nent organizations. The 332nd
is the first all-Negro Fighter
Group in aviation history.
These units joined the 44th
Aviation Squadron to make Self
ridge Field one of the largest
Army Air Forces training CEN
tiers for Negro soldiers. The 44th
has been stationed here for
nearly year.
Both the 332nd Fighter Group
and the 96th Service Group
came to Selfridge Field from
several stations in Alabama and
now are together at the same
post for the first time.
The Office of Censorship,
Washington, d. c., in the Code of
Wartime Practices for the Amer
lean press, requests that no pub
LEGATION OF unit strength be
made. Consequently. the exact
number of persons in the 332nd
and 96th is not announced.
OF the total Negro personnel,
however, more than 100 are
commissioned officers, many of
them pilots of airplanes which
they flew from Alabama. The
Negro officers who have report
ed for duty here, to date with
their home addresses. are listed
as follows.

Down to the Gunwales

Farmers and the food sellers find them selves in boat which is being so over- loaded with price restrictions and regula- tions that it is close to laundering. Con- menting on this situation, Albert s. Goss, President of the National Grange, in ad- dressing the National Association of Food Chains, said:
 Food is rapidly becoming the worlds number one problem. We are waking up the fact that the United States has not been feeding itself for the past ten years; that we have imported more food than we have exported. Because of some very unwise OPA policies, we are prevent ed from raising the maximum amount of needed food. The average farm prices are high enough. Some commodities may be too high, while others are definitely too low
 The OPA is supplanting the laws of nature with the laws of the swivel chair. The mistake is made of violating all laws of economics by trying to force all prices into common mold. When we set cell ingS, based on average costs, we strangle the production of those commodities with costs above the ceilings, and create short ages. A frost may take 90 per cent of the Georgia peach crop, and if we try to hold Georgia peach growers to the same price level as in an area with bumper crop, the Georgia peach growers will go broke. These unavoidable directiVes create inn possible conditions which will eventually blow up.

FORTH AND BACK
(New Britain Herald)

It is no secret that one of the req sons for Hitler's attack on Russia was to obtain possession of the rich Ukraine-region of foCdstuffs, min- erals, electric power He had hoped to penetrate even further. as dis tant as the oil fields beyond the Caucasus. By and large it was the greatest military enterprise in the worlds history, one which sought to capture, mile for mile, almost all of the vast territory of European Rus sia-roughly as large region as the eastern portion of the United States from the Atlantic to the Mississippi.
 Hitler did not succeed in captur- ing all of it, even in the heyday of his power. But he seized about three-quarters of 1t; and the most valuable potion from an economic standpoint, was the Ukraine.
 So, he now is giving up the Rus- sian bread basket; the great iron mines at Krivoi-Rog are passing from his hands; the monster dam at Dnepropetrovsk again belongs to Russia. The Crimea is being re- deemed.
 An old ditty runs, "The king of France with 10000 men marched up hill and then marched down again." That's WI. t Hitler's legions have done in Russia, with the diff ference that the marching down again has been far more precipitate

Will Regulators Cause Oil Shortage? |?

The Petroleum Industry War Council has passed resolution calling public attention to the critical petroleum Situa- tion in the United States. Commenting on the resolution, William R. Boyd, Jr., less some early action is taken to rem edy the situation, we must ultimately face further restrictions, even for essen tial civilian and industrial consump- tion."
 The resolution places blame for de- clining productive capacity on "an arbi- trary and inadequate price ceiling which has been established and maintained, contrary to the considered judgment of the petroleum industry, and of the Fed eral Administrator for War, to whom the President delegated the responsibility of providing adequate petroleum products"
 As early as February, l942, the petro- ieum industry pointed out to the Petrole-

Civil Air Control

The House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, after studying the postwar civil aviation problem for nine months, has drafted and presented three bills. Two of them are in substantial agreement on the need for federal con- trol; the minority bill would safeguard state sovereignty by leaving domestic aviation control in she hands of the vari- otls states. Now state sovereignty is a precious heritage that is beinig increas- ingly threatened, anG that needs safe guarding But here, it would seem, is case where state control might easily lead to 48 different brands of confusion. If postwar aviation develops as it promises to and ought to, there will need to be uniformity in such matters as traffic regulation, safety, standards of lnstalla- tion and equipment, and ownership re- sponsibility. Long commercial flights will be faster and more frequent, traversing some states in matter of minutes. 1ntra- state air travel will be greatly expanded.
 Unless both types of travel recognize the same traffic laws, real danger as well as countless miXupS would develop. For safetys sake, too, clear understanding Will DC necessary III the mdCCer OI COIlIIol, dispatching, zoning and airport facilities,
 for emergencies as well as regular runs. The war probably will leave us with great many planes on hand, as we'll as production facilities for turning out many new ones. Some sort of strong regulation is going to be needed to see that these planes, if they are offered for sale, are in safe condition for commercial operation, and to protect the public from irreSponSi- ble operators who are certain to be at tracted by new aviation possibilities Another essential will be a fair set of standard trade and labor laws, if postwar aviation is to develop normally.
 By all the rules of efficiency, these and similar considerations should be the fed eral governments responsibility. There will still be plenty for the states to do Air traffic and commerce within the state surely would come within their province, subject to general regulations. And the same could be said for such things as air port construction, maintenance and oper- ation. But not much of a case can be made out for any proposal to extend state line restrictions upward to infinity.

um Administrator that price ceilings on crude oil were inadequate to stimulate necessary wildcatting to keep up the nations reserves, in the face of increased labor, material and taxation costs From that time on, the industry has emphasized the danger of continued policy which discourageS rather than encourages new crude oil production The Petroleum Administrator has repeatedly recom- mended to the Office of Price Admins tration that crude prices be increased.
 The Japs planned rubber shortage for this nation. The efelct of a continued domestic policy which creates a crude oil and gasoline shortage, can be just as devastating to our people and the war effort as though it had been planned by the JapS. Of what avail is it to the Ameri- can public to save cent or two gallon on gasoline, if such saving results in no gasoline?

BoUGAINvILLE BRIDGEHEAD
(New York Tines)


 In the southwest Pacific all roads lead to Pabaul. This has been the point of conveyance for the entire Allied campaign both on New Guinea and up through the Solo, mons. Now our Marines are on Bougainville, the bridgehead to Rabaul.
 Bougainville is big island, larger even than Guadalcanal. On the map it looks like a formidable bar Tier, with mountain ranges rising into central spinal column. But conditions are different from what they were on Guadalcanal. We now hold mastery of air, land and sea in this area. It is true that at Empress Augusta Bay we are still 260 miles from Rabaul, but our bridgehead has split enemy strength on the island and isolated the bulk of the garrison on the southern tip.
 The assault on Rabaul is moving straight ahead. Our fighting line advances 70 and 100 miles at a stride. It is clear that last weeks landings on Mono and Choiseul Islands were largely diversionary They seem to have persuaded the Japanese that we would attack Bougainville frontally. Inste "a d. General MacArhtur struck a blow on their flank. Save for a few planes from the crippled force at Rabaul the invading Marines were virtually unopposed, for our flyers had knocked the airfields at Ka- hili, Kara, Ballale and Buka out of action. Enemy troops on Bou- gainville, without air support, are now under fire from three sides.

Remember the Plattsburg (N. Y.) Bar racks near the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain in upper New York state? A special article in the New York Herald Tribune says that there are now forty horses mobilized there to pull several types of vehicles It seems the jeeps and staff cars are substituted by horse-drawn escort wagons. The barracks also has horse-drawn coach, a blackboard, and utility wagons for hauling ice and wood, ambulances, and other transportation. Today if one drove by this familiar bar racks it would resemble it's appear ance in the cavalry and artillery days, when there were no motors. Once again it's horses, horses, up there.

Boss of the Bureaucrats

The American people are turning against government by bureaus, and de- crees. Evidence of this is the action of critics of the Federal Power Commission who charge that that body has invaded states rights and regulatory procedures. They won lively battle on the conven- tion floor at the war conference of the National Association of Railroad and Utility Commissioners. The Associations member commissioners voted 25 to Is to submit to Congress demand that the Federal Power Act be remedied to stop what many of the state commissioners termed an encroachment on state powers Oy the Federal Power Commission.
 The Federal Communications Commis- sion, the Securities and Exchange Con- mission, and the Federal Power Commis- sion voted against the resolution commit ting the Association to appeal to Con- gress. The Interstate Commerce Con- mission waived it's vote.
 This action is in line with a growing determination throughout the country to end government by bureaus and bureau crats, who are neither elected by nor re- sponsible to the people they regulate. This is a healthy sign and compliment to our duly elected Congress which, after all, is the boss of the bureaucrats.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-11-04

No industry has worked more con- scientiously or has had more detail to comply with in connection with OPA rul- ings, than has the nations food industry. OPA would be helpless in carrying out a rationing and price ceiling program with out the cooperation of the stores. There fore. it is an obligation of OPA officials to simplify rationing and price ceilings as rapidly as improvements are possible. Friendly cooperation by the three parties at interest-the government, the stores and the consumers-will secure results unobtainable by antagonistic policies.
